Under Gu Xi's command, the undead under his command acted swiftly.

Arroyo immediately led his troops to the position with the largest number of enemy troops.

From the battle in Victoria City, Arroyo has figured out which path he should take.

His greatest strength lies in relentless attacks, but how to ensure that all his Spearmen survive the battle is a skill in itself.

Arroyo now has a plan; as long as he can retain the skills he has just mastered, his plan will become a reality.

Now is the best time. Arroyo's idea is to fight his way out and kill as many enemies as possible to gain more experience.

Once he has killed all of these people, the level of his Skeleton Spearman can be increased further, and his army will be even stronger.

With this in mind, Arroyo went on a killing spree.

At this moment, Gu Xi also realized what skill Arroyo had unintentionally obtained.

Even though the Bone Shield's duration had already passed, Arroyo's Skeleton Spearman were still surrounded by a layer of black ash.

As they advance, the black ash swirls around them like Bone Shield.

However, Gu Xi did not believe that their layer of black ash would have any defensive power. On the contrary, the presence of the black ash would make it even more difficult for the enemy to pinpoint the location of the Skeleton Spearman, making it easier for them to miss their attacks.

This greatly improves the survivability of the Skeleton Spearman.

This can be considered an alternative way to enhance defense.

Although the skill is not yet fully developed, Gu Xi has already seen its potential.

Even if Arroyo didn't say anything, Gu Xi would immediately arrange for Arroyo to be stationed at a new location.

Arroyo was unaware of Gu Xi's thoughts; at that moment, only two words occupied his mind: 'experience'.

Seeing the increased number of enemies around him, he led his Skeleton Spearman and charged out in one direction.

Arroyo's move caught the attention of the enemies who had suddenly appeared near Gu Xi's group. They quickly attacked the Undead Army around them, trying to plunge everything into the melee.

At this time, Robbie and his men played a significant role. They were all Skeleton Two-handed Swordsman, perfectly suited for melee combat. Whether fighting alone or in a group, they would simply raise their swords and slash.

Robbie's presence provides the Skeleton Two-handed Swordsman with a significant boost, and also gives them a clearer direction for attack.

"Clear these guys out first to protect the Archer Unit and Magic Unit behind them."

As they spoke, the Skeleton Archer and the Skeleton Mage attacked simultaneously.

They had no choice but to act; after all, the enemy had almost reached them, and if they didn't act now, they would have little chance left.

Even the Withering One stepped in to control the situation, keeping the enemy out.

At this point, Gu Xi also witnessed the abilities of the Withering One besides serving as a healing force.

They can throw their spears, which, although the distance is relatively short, are actually quite powerful.

Most importantly, they also release poison.

However, Gu Xi had some doubts. Would these strange creatures in front of him be afraid of this poison? Gu Xi expressed considerable skepticism.

Meanwhile, Gu Xi's hands were also quick. He mobilized the last Zombie Axe Shield Soldier and the last Battle Squad, forcefully pushing away the enemies that appeared nearby, finally clearing the battlefield and dragging the battle to the perimeter of his own troops.

Only then did Gu Xi have the opportunity to look at the enemies on the battlefield.

Just like what Gu Xi discovered when Aryadovi Tower fell down.

These enemies were also clearly divided into two groups.

One batch were sacrificial offerings. When they were sacrificed, their bodies and minds were already distorted. Influenced by the mirror image, they could no longer be considered human.

At the same time, they are not the kind of Ghoul Shadow unique to this world; their current condition appears to be nothing more than that of zombies with abnormal bodies.

Because they were sacrificed, they had no weapons or equipment, and could only rely on their claws and mouths to launch attacks.

However, they usually have a large number of people, and when they attack, they often swarm forward, giving people the feeling that the enemy is like a tide, which can scare the enemy away with their sheer force.

So their battles usually go quite smoothly.

But this time he couldn't do it. They encountered Gu Xi had even witnessed Zombie Siege in Victoria City.

Even thousands of coal ash that could resurrect endlessly couldn't stop Gu Xi's attack, let alone these 1,500-odd sacrifices in front of him?

Gu Xi is about to show them what a sacrificial offering is.

After keeping the enemy at bay, Gu Xi didn't even call upon the red dragon circling in the sky before launching his attack.

First, a Skeleton Priest heals his minions, increasing their strength.

Gu Xi then immediately unleashed the White Bone Storm.

Now, Gu Xi's White Bone Storm is noticeably more powerful. After several battles, Gu Xi has also developed some ideas about the location and direction of its White Bone Storm.

Gu Xi is no longer like before, actively controlling the trajectory of the White Bone Storm.

Gu Xi now releases four or five White Bone Storm at the same time, directly designating a range and letting the White Bone Storm spin around there on their own.

As for not being able to kill someone, that's impossible.

With the power of White Bone Storm, even Ghost could be killed, let alone these enemies who are not Ghost and whose level is not as high as you might imagine.

As soon as the White Bone Storm was unleashed, a portion of the enemies were immediately swept up.

This made things much easier for Gu Xi's subordinates, and the Skeleton Archer and Skeleton Mage launched attacks simultaneously.

With a leader in command, they can accurately lock onto the enemy and launch concentrated attacks. At the same time, they can quickly assess the current situation, unlike before when they could only randomly scatter their fire.

With this addition and subtraction, Gu Xi's troops quickly gained the upper hand.

However, those strange creatures are not to be trifled with.

When they realized that the surprise attack wouldn't cause Gu Xi any trouble, they changed their tactics.

The cultist, still wearing a black robe, rushed towards the bizarre and twisted sacrificial offerings, brandishing a dagger and slashing it at them.

At this moment, these offerings seemed to recall the fear they felt when they were sacrificed.

They suddenly seemed to go mad, leaping into Gu Xi's ranks.

These offerings relentlessly tore at the spirits around them, sometimes even pouncing on them, trying to tear them apart.

Seeing the frenzied offerings, the cultists in black robes were quite pleased.

They believed that Gu Xi would be powerless against them now.

But they were really overthinking it. As necromancers, they wouldn't care about the Life-Death of the undead.

Seeing this, Gu Xi pointed his Cold Wind Staff forward.

"Lesser Corpse Explosion!"
