Troop Strength and Arrangements

Gu Xi checked the number several times before confirming that it was correct.

Although he didn't know why there were so many, Gu Xi himself was quite happy.

According to the information at hand, most of the more than 15,000 Undead Army were level 4 or above, a small number were level 6 or above, and there were even some level 8 troops.

A portion of these troops were taken by the Undead Headman.

Most Undead Headman are around level 5 and can lead a force of about 50 to 60 troops.

More than one hundred Undead Headman took away more than five thousand, nearly six thousand, of the Undead Army.

The troops under these Undead Headman are all quite individualistic, and their Undead Army all gravitate towards their respective sides.

This situation has even affected the Skeleton Archer and the Skeleton Magician Head.

Among the Skeleton Archer, there are those wielding longbows, Shortbow, Light Crossbow, and heavy crossbows—basically, all kinds of archers.

The same situation applies to Skeleton Mage, Zombie, and even Ghost.

Each Undead Headman influences their troops with their own fighting style.

Of the remaining troops, there are more than 7,000 basic units, namely Skeleton Soldier, Zombie, and Ghost.

The Rose Legion comprised two thousand men, while the Black Spear Camp and the Bonecleaver Battalion each comprised two thousand.

Of the three thousand soldiers, there were fifteen thousand Skeleton Soldier, twelve thousand Zombie, and over six hundred Ghost.

All of these have been standardized. All the Skeleton Soldier, Zombie, and Ghost have been enhanced, and they now all look like standard troops.

It can be said that no matter which unit they are assigned to, they can engage in combat immediately.

If there weren't a shortage of Skeleton Mage and Skeleton Archer, there might have been even more Skeleton Mage and Skeleton Archer in these units.

After that, the remaining nearly two thousand troops consisted of scattered Undead Army, as well as some powerful beings that were not undead.

For example, Gargoyle, Minotaur, red dragons, and the like.

These troops varied in strength, but their presence enriched Gu Xi's combat methods. No matter what situation he encountered, Gu Xi could always find a way to deal with it through these troops.

Looking at so many troops, Gu Xi smiled slightly.

This time we can definitely go big.

Thinking of this, Gu Xi stood up and said, "Everyone, as you can see from the current troop strength in the city, we have more things to do now. I have decided to launch a campaign against the two Aryadovi City that have already been opened."

This matter will be handled by Dimi.

Amirka, I'll try my best to help you with your situation, but I have a question. Doesn't the Crimson Temple need an armory? I just checked, and it seems there isn't one in the city.

Upon hearing Gu Xi's question, Amirka immediately stood up. "My lord, we used the temporary armory created when the Barracks reached level 3 to build the Crimson Temple ahead of schedule."

All that's needed is to replenish the Crimson Temple's exclusive armory within a year.

However, once this time limit is exceeded, the Crimson Temple will be affected.

Furthermore, the Crimson Knight currently produced by the Crimson Temple are not yet at their peak in terms of attack and defense.

"Barracks have this kind of function?"

Gu Xi was somewhat surprised after hearing Amirka's explanation.

"Yes, the Barracks can now re-equip 30,000 undead soldiers. In addition, thanks to the efforts of the Blacksmith Shop, there are now extra weapons there, so a temporary armory has been set up."

The equipment change can be completed, but the bonus to the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the city will be lost.

Amirka paused for a moment, explaining that the soldiers in the city had received numerous enhancements in other aspects of their combat capabilities, so the lack of an armory for the time being didn't really matter.

However, he still reminded Gu Xi that the armory was also crucial to the temple, and even if there was no armory now, it must be built later.

"I understand. There must be more than one temple. Even if you don't say it, the temples that follow will also need armories. And the number of troops in Aryadovi City will only increase. It's not good to keep borrowing the Barracks' armory."

Amirka's eyes lit up when he heard Gu Xi say that there was definitely more than one temple.

"My lord, will there be other temples in the future?"

"Of course, look, there's a Bay Temple in the Greenlake District, isn't there?"

Although you can't bring the cavalry out of there, they really are cavalry.

Upon hearing this, Amirka smiled helplessly. Those Seahorse Cavalry were indeed cavalry, but they couldn't fight on land.

However, Amirka understood Gu Xi's attitude; there would definitely be other temples in the future.

There will likely be other Knight Order by then.

Thinking of this, Amirka said again, "My lord..."

"I will make arrangements for the Knight Order, but I cannot put all the knights into one Knight Order."

Amirka also understood that knights were considered a high-ranking military unit, and that regardless of the type of knight, a significant amount of money was required to acquire them.

Gu Xi was willing to establish a Crimson Knight Order once the number of Crimson Knight exceeded one hundred, and there was naturally a reason for this.

Therefore, Gu Xi would not place both different types of knights under the command of a single Hero.

Even if this Hero eventually becomes the leader, it won't work.

In Gu Xi's mind, once Amirka reaches the Chief-level, he can lead a Knight Order, plus three combat regiments, two combined regiments, and one defense regiment.

This is a more suitable configuration.

Of course, Dimi's side will eventually end up in the same situation.

Chief-level can lead seven Hero, and once they reach the Chief-level, they can lead seven squadrons.

As for whether it's a combat squad or a multi-squad squad, that depends on the individual fighting styles of these leaders.

Right now, whether it's Dimi or Amirka, they've only shown Hero- level strength, so thinking too much about it won't be of much use to Gu Xi and the others.

After replying directly, Gu Xi said, "Amirka, I can give you time to wait until the Crimson Knight Order are established, but after the Knight Order are established, you will be in charge of dealing with the remaining Aryadovi City, which Dimi has chosen."

So you should continue training your troops during this time. Don't stay at the Crimson Temple all day. If you stay there, you won't have the materials to increase your troop production speed.

After saying this, Gu Xi looked at the remaining four Hero.

"When I'm not fighting, I need to make sure that two Hero clear the area outside the Aryadovi Tower and the Demon Plant Zone every day. You can arrange the time yourself, but I need to see the results."
