"Don't worry. I have my arrangements."

Gu Xi spoke with a calm expression.

At this moment, Gu Xi was still waiting for troops from all sides to take their positions.

After all, in the current situation, the slowest part was not the troops reaching the battlefield, but how those troops would spread out across it.

Gu Xi had not learned any of this at the beginning.

In Gu Xi's mind, wasn't a Necromancer supposed to simply send his undead subordinates out directly?

Later, Gu Xi learned to place defensive troops in front and ranged troops at the rear, leaving some reserve troops at most. During battle, he only needed to point at the appropriate spot and deploy his subordinates there.

But all of that was based on having only a little over ten thousand troops under his command.

Once the number exceeded ten thousand, things could no longer be arranged that way.

A major war was no longer as simple as gathering everyone together and charging forward.

When an army of a hundred thousand set out, the troops at the front might already have marched more than ten li while the Central Army had not even begun moving.

When an army of a million attacked, the battle could even last days and nights. Sometimes, the fighting at the front had already wiped out an entire unit while the troops behind had yet to be mobilized.

Therefore, in such circumstances, battle formations became something that had to be learned.

Before the war began, the deployment order of the Combat Troops had to be decided in advance.

The troops needed for the fighting ahead would move forward on their own, while the troops in the rear would not be in such a hurry.
