The Demon Army
"Charge forward!"
After Gu Xi killed the first batch of enemies, more and more enemies appeared in front of Gu Xi.
These enemies appeared in waves.
Most of them are at level 2 or 3, and each time they appear, there are usually between 30 and 50 of them.
Their appearances were all unique; some were foot soldiers wearing straw armor and carrying bamboo spears, some had Wild Boar heads covered in thick mud, and some looked like monks but had strange tattoos on their bodies.
Although their attack methods involve direct combat, their style is somewhat unpredictable. They always seem to aim in strange directions when they strike, making them difficult to defend against.
However, Gu Xi ignored all of this. With enough troops under his command, Gu Xi simply placed his troops in front and crushed them with overwhelming force.
He himself kept summoning spirits and replenishing troops from behind.
Before even releasing Hero, Gu Xi had already killed seven or eight units and gained more than two hundred different undead.
However, these undead, like the Wooden Club Zombie, were ordinary undead without any special characteristics, and Gu Xi simply threw them into the cannon fodder ranks.
On the contrary, it was the things left behind by these enemies that piqued Gu Xi's interest.
[The Mountain Walker Lord's Fang (Treasure): A fang that records some information about the Level 4 Mysterious Mountain Walker Lord. Possessing this gives you a chance to kill the Mountain Walker Lord during the day.]
[Treasure Guarded by Foot Soldiers (Map): Records the location of a treasure guarded by a group of foot soldiers. You can go to this location during the day to retrieve the treasure.]
[The Hiking Monk's Token (Treasure): A token used by Hiking Monk to prove their identity. Holding this token allows them to seek protection at nearby temples, but what respectable monk would use such a token?]
[...]
Looking at these gains, Gu Xi gradually understood what the Bailian Grand Ceremony would have been like without the participation of Autumn Wind City and Cold Leaf City.
Back then, all necromancer players would carry Soldier Token and fight using the troops represented by those Soldier Tokens.
After killing the enemy, use the Summoning to finish off the remaining enemies.
This method is relatively fair even without Autumn Wind City and Cold Leaf City joining.
At the very least, everyone starts from the same point.
The rest is a competition of each player's skills, command methods when encountering enemies, and the success rate of summoning spirits.
In the end, it all comes down to the quality and statistics of your troops.
However, with the addition of Autumn Wind City and Cold Leaf City, the situation changed. The fair and just rules made the grudges between the cities irrelevant.
Most necromancer players made a choice: even if they didn't care about their ranking on the Leaderboard, they would concentrate their forces to wipe out players in other cities.
It can be said that once the necromancers unleashed their full power, the enemies they encountered at the beginning were simply no match for them.
Gu Xi didn't even send out his Hero; he simply deployed a Battle Squad, which nearly wiped out the entire area.
This made Gu Xi turn his gaze to the larger battlefield not far away.
"We'll go over there. You can clean up the battlefield and then head back to the city."
After killing another batch of enemies, Gu Xi immediately summoned all the enemies to become new undead, and then gave orders to the Skeleton Head.
Then Gu Xi rode the Evil Coffin and rushed off in one direction.
He came in this direction because he heard the sound of music coming from that direction.
The noise from this side was quite loud; compared to the ragtag soldiers they had just killed, there were clearly more enemies on this side.
Gu Xi was getting tired of fighting off the grunts, and just then, they encountered a formidable enemy, so Gu Xi naturally had to come and take a look.
As Gu Xi rode the Evil Coffin around half a street following the sound of music, he saw his enemy.
Just as he had guessed, this time the enemy was no longer the small group of 20 to 50 people he had faced before.
Before us is a large force of over five hundred people.
There were more than a hundred musicians in the army, and the sounds of music that Gu Xi heard came from them.
The remaining four hundred or so men were mostly Spearmen clad in magnificent armor woven from feathers, and together they guarded a sixteen-person palanquin in the center of the procession.
The sedan chair was draped with silk and inlaid with jewels and gold and silver. Inside sat a mummified corpse wearing a white feathered robe and a tall black hat.
This mummified corpse has three eye sockets, and it also saw Gu Xi's presence when Gu Xi appeared.
He slowly raised his head, opened his mouth, and said to Gu Xi, "Get lost!"
After saying that, he raised a paper folding fan and pointed forward, "Let's go, don't pay attention to that kind of trash."
He deliberately shouted "trash" loudly, clearly telling Gu Xi, "I look down on you. Come and hit me if you dare."
Gu Xi had to admit that this person was the most provocative person he had ever encountered.
I don't know where this monster got its confidence to challenge Gu Xi like this.
Regardless of the monster's situation, he has now angered Gu Xi.
Gu Xi raised his hand, and a huge City Gate appeared in front of the troops, from which a special force emerged.
The entire unit was shrouded in black dust; the only visible objects were the Long Spear they held.
"Black Spear Camp, strike! Kill them!"
The unit that stepped forward was none other than Gu Xi's Black Spear Camp.
Because of this grand Bailian Grand Ceremony, Gu Xi specially gathered all the troops and placed them near several City Gate.
Whether he encounters situations in the world or troubles in Aryadovi, he can quickly mobilize troops and will not be unable to mobilize suitable troops due to reasons such as the absence of troops.
This is the situation before him. As soon as Gu Xi saw the enemy's deployment, he immediately released the Black Spear Camp.
Both being Spearmen, Gu Xi wanted to see whether his Spearmen were stronger or the enemy's Spearmen were more powerful.
Following Gu Xi's order, the Black Spear Camp charged forward.
As they moved, the enemy finally got a clear look at the Black Spear Camp's troops.
They wore red battle suits, black hats, and their skin gleamed with a metallic sheen.
Upon seeing this, the mummified corpse sitting on the sedan chair pointed forward.
"Thrust head-on and engage them in a bayonet fight!"
The mummified corpse was full of confidence in his subordinates' bayonet skills.
In his eyes, there was nothing his Spearmen couldn't do.
However, he never considered that what he saw was merely the surface.
The Black Spear Camp in front of them looked like a metal unit, but in fact, most of them were Skeleton Soldier.
Skeleton Soldier have a greater than 50% chance of dodging piercing attacks.
When a normal person encounters Skeleton Soldier, they would choose blunt force as their primary means of attack. It is extremely rare for someone to choose a piercing attack like the one shown here.
Unfortunately, the mummified corpse was unaware that it had made the wrong choice, and it was still shouting loudly.
"Kill them! Kill all those who have offended my authority!"
