The War Begins; Charlie, the Tail King Spore Cultist
Gu Xi took the task assigned by the Grand Duke very seriously.
After the Grand Duke left, he quickly arranged for two Hero to handle the matter, while he himself stood on the shore observing and contemplating the Water Network Defense Line.
The Grand Duke merely offered a reminder, Gu Xi he himself hadn't yet sorted things out.
But one thing is certain: the Water Network Defense Line is closely related to urban construction. Gu Xi suspects that as long as he builds the Water Network Defense Line, the Aryadovi City will have four or five more large plots of land.
This is a great supplement for Gu Xi.
While Gu Xi was pondering, the progress of the project here was evident, and the water level in the Underground River gradually receded considerably.
Gu Xi could see that many corpses were piled up in this Underground River.
Because they had been constantly washed by the river, most of the corpses had lost their flesh and blood, leaving only bones.
However, some details left around them suggest that they were stuffed into sacks, filled with stones, and thrown down.
Looking at the white bones mixed in with the silt at the bottom of the river, Gu Xi could imagine how many people were stuffed into sacks and thrown into the Isis River every day.
Other units are already used to this kind of situation.
They didn't even glance at the skeletons; they were just going about their business.
In less than an hour, a suitable platform for battle was built under the roots of the Apple Tree.
The battle platform in front of us is divided into Three Layers, and its overall style is like half a football field.
The Underground River that has been drained of water is the lowest level, the platforms set up by the sorcerers are the second level, and the cracks that allow people to emerge from the underground mausoleum are the Three Layers.
The Three Layers platform together covers an area of approximately 70,000 to 80,000 square meters, roughly the size of ten football fields.
Compared to the underground mausoleum behind the wall, it is no smaller.
After the battle platforms were built, all the ragtag troops did not retreat, but began to deploy at the front line. At the same time, the Elite Troops led by Anna and her comrades also emerged from the underground mausoleum.
The Long-Eared Archer led a Pure Archer Unit, who stood on the best second-floor platform.
From that spot, you can look up and see the Apple Tree above.
Another person occupying the second-floor platform was one of the old wizard's henchmen.
However, compared to Pure Archer Unit, the old wizard's troops were noticeably more diverse, but it was clear that the old wizard himself was a master, so he didn't care about such things at all.
After securing a platform, he began to carefully examine the Apple Tree on the ceiling.
"It seems someone cleared it out once before, and now the roots are focusing their energy on the Apple Tree on the ground, which is the best opportunity to attack."
Grand Princess Anna, you made the right choice.
"..." Anna, leading three hundred soldiers, happened to pass by the old wizard.
Anna didn't know what to say to the old wizard.
She could only silently walk to the position they had agreed upon earlier and direct the troops to take up suitable positions.
Because of Anna's takeover, Gu Xi, whose forces were not very strong at this time, was transferred to the rear.
For Gu Xi, this felt somewhat like discarding a donkey after it has served its purpose.
But Anna doesn't see it that way. In Anna's eyes, Gu Xi's own strength is insufficient, his troop numbers are inadequate, and his level is not high.
The only advantage we can offer is our mastery of the Death City skill.
However, his Death City skill is clearly only level 3, and he can't even summon a Summoning Tower except for the City Gate.
What use is such Death City on the battlefield?
Let Gu Xi arrange level 1 and 2 troops to act as cannon fodder?
Forget it, there's really no need for this.
Therefore, Gu Xi was assigned to the rear, where he could watch the battle from the edge of the crack, as long as it didn't affect the transportation in the rear.
Gu Xi didn't intend to argue about this.
In Gu Xi's view, his goal was to observe the fighting style of the Spore Cultist Charlie.
The second run of the dungeon will be the perfect opportunity for him to show his skills.
At that time, he would never tell Anna about the underground mausoleum.
Wouldn't it be better to fight your way in yourself?
He could even cut off a few more pieces of Apple Tree to take back with him.
Let's deal with the problems at our own Evilwood Lake again.
Now, Gu Xi has withdrawn part of his troops, leaving only the troops he personally leads. At the same time, he is holding a notebook and quickly recording Anna's methods for dealing with the Spore Cultist Charlie.
After arranging the troops, Anna nodded to the archer with long ears.
The archer reached out and picked up his longbow.
His bow was a full 1.9 meters tall, and when he drew it, he almost fell to the ground.
However, the archer did not feel embarrassed about his actions. With one foot supporting him on the ground, he quickly adjusted his angle and fired an arrow at the huge tree ball in the sky.
The arrow flew out with a blinding white light.
Gu Xi, who was standing by the crack, immediately covered his eyes with his hand.
After the white light, Gu Xi heard a scream. He looked in the direction of the scream and saw that the thing that had been curled up into a ball was rapidly unfolding, revealing its core.
It was a man whose body had completely turned to wood.
His body was bound by countless Red Silk Thread, with only his head exposed.
Because they were too far apart, and because he hadn't grown to his enormous size, Gu Xi couldn't see his face clearly.
All that could be seen was that his hair was golden, and he was still cursing something as the tree roots spread out.
Centered on him, more than a hundred tree roots of various sizes spread out, but only eight of them hung down, while the rest were attached to the ceiling.
It's clear that the eight drooping tree roots are the main force of Spore Cultist Charlie's attack, while the remaining tree roots are mostly just decorative.
Just as Gu Xi was speculating about the situation of Charlie, the Spore Cultist Charlie, pink pollen fell from the sky.
When everyone looked up, they discovered that as the Apple Tree unfolded, all the Black Apple Flower had opened, and fruits the size of human heads, wrapped in Red Silk Thread, covered the entire root system and were sliding down.
Seeing the Spore Cultist Charlie put the corpse down, Anna immediately gave the order.
"Stop them!"
So whether it was the main force or the miscellaneous soldiers, as long as they could wield a bow and fight at a distance, they all raised their bows immediately.
Gu Xi made the same choice, taking a step forward with the Skeleton Archer and Skeleton Mage, and locking onto some hanging fruits.
Gu Xi understood that this was Spore Cultist Charlie, Time Progression.
The fruit will turn into small monsters and participate in the attack.
But at that moment, the red thread holding the fruit suddenly broke, and all the fruit crashed heavily to the ground, rolled in the mud, and mixed with the bones.
