New Eridu
Dimi knew she hadn't fought well in this battle, and she couldn't very well say how hard she had tried. She could only ask Gu Xi to walk around these districts and tell her about the difficulties she had faced.
Gu Xi, Luna, and Grand Princess Anna did not make things difficult for Dimi. They also carefully observed the Aryadovi City, which had just been taken down and had not yet been completely cleaned.
Just as Dimi said, apart from four districts that were still relatively intact, the other six districts Gu Xi nothing but ruins.
In the ruins, a large number of undead corpses were dragged out and piled up to one side. Dimi planned to select the higher-level or more promising corpses to resurrect using the Eternal Enslavement Altar, while leaving the other lower-level corpses aside.
As for the corpse of the Ghoul Shadow in the Aryadovi City, it did not exist.
Similar to the Ghoul Shadow Gu Xi had killed before, none of the Ghoul Shadow in this Aryadovi City left behind any corpses.
However, after they died in battle, they all turned into Ghoul Qi Bead, and now the undead under Dimi's command are searching for these things.
According to the original agreement between Gu Xi and Dimi, the spoils of war would be split in half.
Half of the Ghoul Qi Bead here belong to Gu Xi.
The remaining half of the Ghoul Qi Bead was used by Dimi to revive his soldiers and replenish and strengthen the army.
These things were extremely important to Dimi, and he was extremely careful about them.
Seeing Dimi's cautious demeanor, Gu Xi knew that Dimi understood his situation.
But there's nothing we can do about it; she's wasted so many opportunities.
If she can't change Gu Xi's impression of her, she might not have another chance.
As Gu Xi and the others toured around the Aryadovi City during this period and were about to discuss how to handle the current situation, Dimi suddenly spoke up.
"Sir, I would like to apply to participate in field operations."
At this moment, Gu Xi and Luna were discussing whether to build a new Council Hall in the Aryadovi City during this period.
Dimi's words surprised him.
Gu Xi turned to look at Dimi and stared at her face for a long time.
At this moment, Dimi no longer had the languid air he had when he was having afternoon tea in the Aryadovi City; instead, he exuded a fierce and ruthless aura that came from the battlefield.
Facing Gu Xi's gaze, Dimi did not back down. She stared intently into Gu Xi's eyes, hoping to grasp this last glimmer of hope.
"Good!"
After a long silence, Gu Xi finally agreed to Dimi's suggestion, "You organize the troops, and I will notify you when it is necessary to send troops out."
Dimi wanted to say that she needed to bring her men into the battle, but she swallowed the words back.
At this moment, Gu Xi turned to look at Yagyu, who had been standing to the side.
"And you, what are your plans for the future?"
"I intend to follow Lady Dimi. I have accepted Dimi appointment to become the Commanding Hero of her Gray Soul Camp."
Yagyu fought alongside Dimi for a while and witnessed Dimi's performance in battle. He recognized Dimi's strength and understood that Dimi's current situation was due to bad luck.
If she hadn't had so many demands, so many ideas, and had been willing to fight for Gu Xi sooner, she wouldn't have encountered this situation at all.
But that's precisely why he has high hopes for Dimi.
They believe that Dimi is just missing an opportunity, and if Dimi can seize it, given her ambition, she will definitely become Gu Xi's number one leader.
Yagyu is placing a bet, and a large one at that.
Gu Xi was unaware of Yagyu's inner thoughts, but Gu Xi was still somewhat surprised by Yagyu's high regard for her.
Then Gu Xi thought that the Battlefield Ghost commanded by Yagyu were an unreplicable force; once they were defeated, they would be gone.
On the contrary, Dimi has a strong ability to control Zombie, Ghost and Vampire, and can make these three types of soldiers grow to giant size.
Perhaps Yagyu wanted to replenish his ranks when the Battlefield Ghost were being lost.
With this in mind, Gu Xi could be considered to have agreed with Yagyu's decision.
"Okay, you can go with them then. Let's focus on replenishing the troops we lost this time."
Unlike the Battlefield Ghost, the Electric-Start Zombie have no Hero, not even a leader. They only have two warriors and one Elite. Their affairs are directly managed by Dimi, and whether or not their casualties need to be replenished is Dimi's own business.
As Dimi went down to reorganize the troops, Luna happened to look up.
"My lord, I have already calculated that the newly acquired Aryadovi District has at least twenty-seven large plots of land on the surface, and underground there will be Sewer, so nine more large plots can be developed there."
Excluding other large plots, there are nearly forty such plots here.
Moreover, our Main District is far from here.
It's a difference of time. If we don't come here specifically, the order is issued from the Council Hall in the Main District, goes through the gates of Aryadovi Tower, and then it takes five hours to arrive here by special delivery.
Setting up Carriage Station would take a whole day to make the round trip.
I don't want all the progress to be delayed by half a day to a day whenever I need to build anything in Aryadovi City at this stage.
"That makes sense, but if we build a Council Hall here, wouldn't it lead to conflicting decisions?"
This is actually what Gu Xi is more worried about.
We can't just give away the Aryadovi City, which we just conquered.
"No, the Council Hall also has a primary and secondary structure. In addition, another set of other Core Building will also need to be moved over, even if they cannot be considered Core Building, they still need to be built."
In terms of building the Aryadovi City, Luna was quite domineering.
Gu Xi pondered, Luna was right.
The most important factor here is their Gu Xi toward how they handled the Aryadovi City during other periods.
The Aryadovi City before us is just one of six Aryadovi City.
If it takes half a day to Heavenly Mandate to be passed on to one city, then the administrative affairs of the six Aryadovi City would likely be completely stalled.
For the sake of the future, Gu Xi should not do such a thing.
"Okay, let's start with the Council Hall, then redivide the urban area. Let's leave aside the areas that were destroyed and redivide them. We won't build anything in the old Main District anymore, where we had to squeeze everything in wherever we could find a spot."
This time we have enough land, and all the urban areas can be planned gradually.
Furthermore, we need to find a way to connect the river and the Sewer. Since the post station carriages are unusable and Aryadovi Tower is stuck, at least we'll have other ways to contact this place.
After listening to Gu Xi's words, Luna replied earnestly, "I understand, my lord. Don't worry, I will plan out the current urban area."
