Battle for the Mining Zone

Upon exiting the Yellow Springs Wild Temple, Gu Xi discovered that the centipede he had previously killed had been completely dissected. Its hard shell had been broken into pieces of varying sizes, its flesh had been mashed into fist-sized white chunks, and even its internal organs had been removed and placed together with its venom glands.

When Gu Xi arrived, his men had already begun delivering these items to Aryadovi City.

"Grown ups."

Upon seeing Gu Xi approach, Lewis, who was cleaning up the battlefield, obediently ran over.

It's clear that he has realized his own position and is prepared to treat himself as a Tool Man.

He would volunteer to do things like cleaning up the battlefield and scouting ahead.

He wanted to use this attitude to change Gu Xi's opinion of him.

"Well done. Pack up and prepare to send troops."

Under Gu Xi's orders, the troops that had just fought retreated back to their original positions.

Yong Dou has completed the organization of the Demon Offering Camp and is now following closely at the back of the group.

The Black Spear Camp, having gained no advantage in the previous battles, has now moved to the front of the column, seemingly hoping to gain some experience along the way.

The members of the Bonecleaver Battalion, who had benefited from the situation, remained silent.

While they were resting, they had already run to the Aryadovi City to buy some suitable materials and were now making their own two-handed Two-Handed Sword.

The centipede's leg was a valuable item for them; it would be a waste of their opportunity not to make good Geographical Advantage of it.

So when the troops advanced, they simply followed on both sides of the column, instead of constantly moving around as before.

After jumping onto the Evil Coffin and launching his attack, Gu Xi was stopped by Grand Princess Anna listened to her analysis of the battle.

Grand Princess Anna did not interfere in Gu Xi's personnel arrangements.

They didn't say whether the existence of the Demon Offering Camp was good or bad; they just helped Gu Xi review the battle.

Gu Xi also offered his own thoughts, considering whether he had made any mistakes.

Grand Princess Anna highly recognized Gu Xi's efforts, and she said directly, "Famous General are made through battle. What flash of inspiration or battlefield awareness? Those are all fake."

Only after suffering losses will you know fear.

Only after being hit do you know how to defend yourself.

For us, improving ourselves through combat is the most cost-effective approach.

The dead aren't afraid of death at all; even if something goes wrong, they can fix it afterward.

They studied and traveled along the way, and soon arrived at the location of the Shattered Scale Stone Mine mentioned on the task list.

Upon seeing the Shattered Scale Stone Mine in the distance, Gu Xi stopped.

He looked at the stone quarry over there, where people seemed to be working enthusiastically.

This situation made Gu Xi's expression somewhat solemn.

It should be noted that this place is not far from the Soul Gathering Ground, and the fact that this quest appeared at the quest center of the Soul Gathering Ground indicates that the people of the Soul Gathering Ground are already somewhat annoyed.

But they are digging so openly, either because they have someone backing them, or because they are very confident in their military strength.

Regardless, Gu Xi felt that this battle was likely inevitable.

"Lewis, take some Ghost forward and lure the enemy over."

Having witnessed Lewis's hard work, Gu Xi was willing to give Lewis a chance to prove himself.

Upon hearing this, Lewis immediately summoned his seven Ghost Headman and, along with his usual Ghost soldiers, rushed out.

Meanwhile, Gu Xi quickly set up the battlefield.

The reason he sent Lewis to lure the enemy was to avoid fighting on the enemy's battlefield.

Before the enemy arrives, Gu Xi naturally needs to prepare the battlefield.

The Steel City Gate, the Troop Stockade City Gate, and the Main City Gate were arranged in a row.

Yong Dou led the Demon Offering Camp, positioned between the Troop Stockade City Gate and the Main City Gate, where they quickly set up various altars.

The Black Spear Camp was positioned directly at the Steel City Gate, serving as the first wave of troops to make contact with the enemy.

As for the location of Gu Xi, it was in front of the Steel City Gate and the Troop Stockade City Gate.

Instead of standing on the City Gate as usual, he released the Soul- Summoning Tower and stood on top of it.

Because it leveled up, the Summoning Tower has grown considerably taller, now Summoning Tower over fifty Domi.

Standing atop the Summoning Tower, Gu Xi could clearly see the situation below.

"No wonder you let me come up here. Standing here makes commanding the battle much easier."

Grand Princess Anna, standing behind Gu Xi, laughed and said, "That's because you have a tool that allows you to directly contact the Hero and leaders on the battlefield. If you didn't have this ability, I wouldn't have let you leave the battlefield directly."

However, once you get to this point, your spells become largely useless in combat.

Gu Xi immediately understood that what Grand Princess Anna said was true.

Currently, apart from Summoning and Death Avatar, the remaining spells cannot be used.

Various offensive spells are too far away to reach the main battlefield.

As for the Bone Shield and the White Bone Canopy, Gu Xi doesn't need them for the time being.

"It's alright. There's always a time when magic is useful. Learning it won't go to waste."

While Gu Xi was speaking, Lewis, who had been sent out, also returned with the Ghost Squad.

Gu Xi's eyes lit up. "The enemy is here."

As soon as Gu Xi finished speaking, Grand Princess Anna waved her hand forward, and a mirror made of water appeared in front of Grand Princess Anna.

Grand Princess Anna suddenly spoke after glancing at the situation behind Lewis through the Water Mirror.

"Something's not right with these undead."

"Something's not right. Let me see."

Gu Xi leaned over and took a serious look.

He then realized what was wrong with what Grand Princess Anna had said.

The Undead Army that chased Lewis was clearly a well-organized unit, and among the charging troops was a distinct Undead Hero.

At the same time, his army has all kinds of troops, including Skeleton Soldier, Skeleton Archer, Skeleton Mage, and even a Skeleton Knight Squad of more than one hundred people.

The other three squads are Ghost, Zombie, and Vampire.

Each unit is led by a dedicated Undead Headman.

Behind the Undead Hero, a battle flag is held aloft. On the vermilion flag are three Skeleton stacked together, forming a large number '1'.

Upon seeing such a battle flag, Gu Xi's heart stirred.

He actually deciphered all the information on the battle flag automatically.

The Stacked Bone Battalion, under the Steel Skeleton Guild First Pioneering Group.

Which player guild placed their Hero here? Gu Xi didn't react in time, and the enemy had already rushed to the front of the Steel City Gate.

Arroyo's Black Spear Camp had raised their Long Spear, ready to charge.

At this moment, Gu Xi had no time to think any further. He immediately turned around and ordered, "Yong Dou, Mana Drain."
