Expedition Missions

"Yes, sir!"

Fu Gu acted swiftly upon receiving Gu Xi's order.

Gu Xi noticed that the various colored flags in the sand table had changed again.

In addition to the flags of the Bonecleaver Battalion, some of the flags had additional numbers on them, numbered from 1 to 9.

Then came the small flags of different colors that were empty.

However, Fu Gu could tell from the small flags which troops they represented.

While Fu Gu was reorganizing the troops, Gu Xi came to the sand table and noticed three messages above it: one white and two green.

[Task: Clear the Sewer 1 (white)]

Enemies: 200 Cunning Rats (Level 0-5), Ghoul Rat Doctor (Level 5, Boss)

[Requirements: 100 undead troops, 1 Undead Headman, 10 units of food]

[Departure time: 12 hours]

Success rate: 0%

Return Rewards: Supplies (abundant), Soldier and Boss Experience (abundant), Treasure Chest (possible)

[Note: This is a cleaning operation targeting the Sewer of Aryadovi City.]

As Gu Xi looked at the sand table, Fu Gu also came over.

"Sir, are we required to undertake a combat mission?"

"I'll do it, I've learned it."

Gu Xi had learned about sending troops into battle at the Minggu Bone Wind Academy.

He quickly picked up the small flag stuck in the sand table and placed it on the task at hand.

As he put them inside, Gu Xi kept muttering to himself.

"Put a Zombie Head with 50 Zombie Axe Shield into the Sewer. Ignore the others and focus on raising the defense. The Sewer are relatively small, so what did we say in class? They're the best place to release rat and insect troops."

This time we're going to hunt rats. We'll deploy 50 swarms of Corpse Poison Fly; that should be enough. The success rate is 87%, which is acceptable. Send out the troops!

As soon as Gu Xi gave the order, a series of bugle calls rang out over the Barracks.

Then several small flags disappeared from Gu Xi's hands, and at the same time, a scene of an army setting off on a campaign appeared on the sand table.

Fu Gu watched Gu Xi's actions from the sidelines, but he didn't offer much comment on Gu Xi's techniques.

In Fu Gu's eyes, although the troops sent by Gu Xi were not the optimal solution, they would definitely not cause any major problems.

As long as things remain stable and no risks are taken, that's enough in Fu Gu's view.

After sending out one unit, Gu Xi immediately became interested and quickly made arrangements for the remaining two troop deployments.

[Mission: Mist Ghoul Shadow (Green)]

Enemies: 200 Ghoul Shadow (Level 0-5), Ghoul Shadow Head (Level 5, Defensive Type)

[Deploy: 1 Skeleton Head (Spearmen), 100 Skeleton Spearman, 20 units of food]

[Departure Time: 24 hours]

Success rate: 96%

Return Rewards: Supplies (abundant), Soldier and Boss Experience (abundant), Treasure Chest (possible)

[Note: Regularly clearing out enemies around the city is a very important task for the city.]

[Mission: Border Patrol (Green)]

Enemies: 200 Ghoulified Plant (levels 0-5), Ghoulish Man-Eating Flower (level 5, critical hit type)

[Deploy: 1 Skeleton Archer Leader, 100 Skeleton Archer, 20 units of food]

[Departure Time: 24 hours]

Success rate: 88%

Return Rewards: Supplies (abundant), Soldier and Boss Experience (abundant), Treasure Chest (possible)

[Note: An anomaly has been detected at the border of the Demon Plant Zone. Please handle it immediately.]

After all the tasks were assigned, Gu Xi turned to Fu Gu.

How often is this mission conducted?

"Unless there are special circumstances, there are only three tasks for now. Once you complete one, a new one will appear."

"Next time, if there are white-level missions, you'll be in charge of assigning them. I'll come and check on the green-level missions."

"Yes, sir!"

Fu Gu responded decisively.

It's not that Gu Xi doesn't value the right to send troops out of the Barracks, but rather that the white-level battles are merely for soldiers to practice in.

Once you send out your leader to counter the enemy leader, the mission is basically complete.

Unlike green-level missions, which require considering the enemy leader's attributes and selecting troops that counter the enemy leader, this mission is different.

For example, if the opponent has a sure-kill ability, then Gu Xi's side should either use the first-strike subordinates or the ranged subordinates, and definitely cannot let the opponent get close to them.

For example, if the opponent has area-of-effect spells, then sending out an assassin would be the most appropriate choice.

The methods of self-control described here are ones that Gu Xi had to memorize in their entirety at the Minggu Bone Wind Academy.

Gu Xi can now be said to be directly and instinctively choosing the corresponding personnel, and his choice is quite good, with the success rate not falling below the warning line of 75%.

After arranging for the troops to launch an attack, Gu Xi took another stroll around the Barracks.

At this point, the Barracks are only level 1, and many of the Barracks' unique features have not yet been unlocked.

However, the Barracks have already reserved the corresponding positions.

Gu Xi took a look around and was quite satisfied.

"Fu Gu, the Barracks are now in your hands. I don't need to tell you how important the Barracks are."

I need your promise that as long as you're here, you must ensure the stability of the Barracks and the troop movements are handled to the best of your ability.

"Please rest assured, my lord, as long as I am here, there will be no problems with the defense of the Barracks and the Aryadovi City."

"Good!"

Gu Xi patted Fu Gu on the shoulder, then turned and walked out.

"Sir, where do we go next?"

At this moment, Luna floated in front of Gu Xi.

"The Troop Stockade City Gate, right? Has this City Gate been completed yet?"

"It's already completed, and the moat and Arrow Tower are nearing completion. Shall we go take a look?"

"Let's go take a look, and then we'll explore the Magic Tower."

After considering it for a while, Gu Xi finally made a decision.

After all, he still needed to spend some time at the Magic Tower, and he also planned to build the structures that could be transformed from the Bone Demon Lamp next to the Magic Tower, which would require some time for special processing.

If I get busy, I won't have time to go check on the City Gate anymore.

So he decided to go check out the door first.

After all, the City Gate is crucial to his use of the Death City during battle.

Luna had no objection to Gu Xi's choice; she simply led the way.

However, as they walked, Gu Xi realized that they seemed to have left the earliest urban area and were about to enter the land-divided Demon Plant Zone.

Looking at the Twisted Giant Tree that had been planted by the roadside, Gu Xi couldn't help but ask.

"Luna, why is the City Gate built here this time?"

"My lord, a great battle took place here last time, breaking through several sections of the fog. From time to time Ghoul Shadow entering the Aryadovi City through those sections. Building the City Gate, moat, and Arrow Tower here can provide some defense."
