Gu Xi's Path to Becoming a Famous General

A new month begins, and I'm working hard to update more chapters. Please subscribe, recommend, and give me lots of monthly tickets!

For the rest of the journey, Lewis became quite well-behaved.

He was no longer arrogant as before, but instead dutifully helped Gu Xi manage the Ghost Squad.

He might have looked down on Yong Dou a little, but Yagyu actually respected Lewis.

As fellow Ghost Hero, Yagyu's strength is far superior to his.

At first, Lewis did not compare himself to Yagyu, and since Yagyu went with Dimi, he thought he was the only choice to be the Hero of Ghost Squad.

But after being told Gu Xi, Lewis realized that he had been overthinking things and that he was not the indispensable one.

Even Dimi is trying hard to prove himself. If he still can't see his own position, he will slowly be abandoned by Gu Xi.

He has already figured out his role: a versatile blue-collar worker who can step in whenever Gu Xi needs him.

When not needed, he can help manage the Ghost Squad and train the Ghost.

This surprised Gu Xi, who was preparing to keep an eye on Lewis.

Why are all the undead so realistic these days?

However, Lewis was honest, Gu Xi naturally didn't say much. As they traveled along, Gu Xi readily released his Undead Army one by one.

They used the Wandering Souls on the Yellow Springs Road to consolidate their forces.

Meanwhile, most of the undead they encountered along the way were deeply moved after seeing Gu Xi's kind and approachable army, and chose to join Gu Xi's troops.

When Gu Xi arrived at the First Place mission point, which was a Wild Temple that had been occupied by others, Gu Xi had already subdued nearly ten thousand undead.

More than half of these undead were civilians around level 1.

They were immediately sent back to Aryadovi City by Gu Xi, so that they could be integrated into the Aryadovi City's development.

The remaining soldiers, as long as they passed level 4, were considered qualified soldiers in Gu Xi's eyes.

Gu Xi will assign them to various units based on their circumstances.

They are either led by Undead Headman or follow directly behind their fellow undead to bolster their presence.

When Gu Xi arrived at the Wild Temple, more than 20,000 people had already gathered around him.

Leading the way was the Black Spear Camp, while the Bonecleaver Battalion moved back and forth on both sides of the troops, protecting the flanks.

Gu Xi and his other subordinates were positioned in the center of the group.

At this moment, he was discussing with Yong Dou where the mage troops should stand if a war really broke out.

Originally, the mages' attack range was between two and three hundred meters.

This attack range is almost the same as that of Archer Unit.

Therefore, mages and archers often act together.

However, since Yong Dou is preparing to perform Ritual Magic, he needs a larger space and a much longer attack range. Therefore, Gu Xi estimates that the mage troops can now be placed in the locations originally intended for siege weapons.

However, if that were to happen, one or two specialized units would be needed for protection.

And these one or two units were precisely the point of discussion between Gu Xi and Yong Dou.

Yong Dou believed that he could only command a limited number of people, and that he needed to quickly build the altar, so there would definitely be an Engineering Corps in his team.

If two more Combat Troops arrive on the spot, he will only be able to use Skeleton Mage in his choice of Ritual Magic, and he will no longer be able to classify the Skeleton Mage as he had planned, in order to play large-scale Ritual Magic such as Meteor Fire Rain or Chain Lightning in the future.

Therefore, if two more Combat Troops are dispatched, he will have even fewer routes to choose from.

To ensure his future research, he was unwilling to add two more defensive units to his army, no matter what.

Gu Xi was also somewhat troubled by this.

He couldn't possibly station a separate army to guard this place just for Ritual Magic.

This led to a conflict between the two, and neither could convince the other.

Yong Dou was quite stubborn at this time. No matter how Gu Xi asked, he simply stood his ground and refused to budge.

Even after Gu Xi and the others arrived at the Wild Temple, Yong Dou still didn't give in.

Looking at the Wild Temple appearing on the horizon, Gu Xi finally decided not to continue the communication.

"Yong Dou, I'm not communicating with you now, but giving you a direct order. Give me two of the positions of your seven leaders. We're almost at the temple, and I want to see two defensive forces under your control in your ranks."

After yelling all that, Gu Xi angrily turned and headed towards the Wild Temple.

He was still complaining to himself about how he always seemed to encounter such troublesome Hero.

At this moment, Grand Duchess Anna came to Gu Xi's side, gently patted his shoulder and said, "That's more like it."

Gu Xi looked at Grand Princess Anna with a puzzled expression.

"I was talking about the way you handled things just now. You always wanted to sort everything out, but you're not omnipotent, and you can't keep backing down for some things."

In situations like this, you have to make the decision yourself.

Show your subordinates your decisiveness.

After saying that, Grand Princess Anna patted Gu Xi on the shoulder again, "Think about it carefully. Your subordinates are all undead. Are you afraid that they will rebel?"

Sure enough, after this experience, Gu Xi's control over his subordinates was significantly strengthened.

Yong Dou became as obedient as before. He was assigned two Zombie Head, which he dutifully accepted. He even discussed with the Zombie Head whether they could come over and help set up the ritual altar when they had free time.

Seeing this, Gu Xi also curled his lips.

That's right, that's more like it.

It's not like there's no solution; why stand up to him head-on?

Does he really look that easy to bully? As he thought this, Gu Xi walked towards the front of the group. He didn't even realize that he had become increasingly confident.

The confidence emanating from within made Grand Princess Anna, who had been following behind, nod in satisfaction.

It seems that Gu Xi is gradually growing.

If he were to experience a few more major battles, develop his own battle strategies, and overcome his weaknesses, he could be considered a Famous General.

Only such Gu Xi can be worthy of the profession of Death Sorcerer Lord.

Simply relying on unleashing Death Avatar and Corpse Explosion is not the right way.

Gu Xi was unaware of Grand Princess Anna's expectations of him; at that moment, he was looking at the Wild Temple in front of him.

It is said to be a Wild Temple, but in fact, judging from the current situation, it is already a large city.

The city walls, which are over six Mido high, can block most enemy attacks.

The only puzzling thing was that there were no patrolling soldiers on the city wall, but rather pillars of normal height, wrapped with blood-red silk threads.
