Lure the Night Walkers Out of the Whole City and Fight Them
This time, Gu Xi did not forget the undead that were transformed after the worms died.
Soon a smaller worm crawled out of the City Gate.
The undead worms in front of me were moving much slower.
At this moment, Gu Xi could see that the skin of his worm was rotten beyond recognition, even exposing the flesh and internal organs inside.
The only thing that hasn't changed is its mouth. When it opens, it's like an earth drill, capable of quickly excavating a huge tunnel underground.
With the appearance of this worm, Gu Xi finally had an underground fighting force that could speak.
[Corpse Worm (Level 11, Summoned Creature): Experience (0/3500), Attack 11, Defense 20, Health 120, Skills: Burrow, Break Restriction, Crush.]
"You'll go with Mido too, but right now your priority is to fill this place up for me."
After glancing at the attributes of the Corpse Worm, Gu Xi pointed at Mido.
Now Mido has transformed from a transport Tool Man into Tool Man for underground combat.
Mido had no complaints about this. In his view, what kind of Tool Man isn't Tool Man? Being able to fight underground was something unique.
Mido immediately mobilized his men to kill the remaining two carrion worms.
Two more Corpse Worm were about to Gu Xi, so they dug downwards while quickly filling the ground with soil.
Before long, the large crater created by the worm battle was filled in, and at least the City Gate section did not collapse again, returning to its original state.
On the contrary, inside the camp, a Deep Pit about fifteen meters in diameter was dug out. Standing on the edge of the Deep Pit, you can see what's below.
As the Deep Pit was dug out, Mido immediately led the troops given to him by Gu Xi and jumped in.
They left only a portion of the Evil Bone Locust on the ground, along with one Corpse Worm, in case the fighting below turned sour and they had no way to get up.
Gu Xi was quite speechless at this straight-up-down passage.
However, considering Mido's previous movement patterns, Gu Xi could understand it, since he had previously controlled the Flying Troops.
This straight up-and-down movement is actually his normal way of moving.
The enemy underground has been dealt with, and our own troops have retreated to their respective positions.
Although the situation differs from what was initially envisioned, overall, everything is still under Gu Xi's control.
Several objectives of the minimum Gu Xi plan have been achieved.
He has now established a firm foothold in front of the Earth Demon Cave.
Right now, Gu Xi just needs to replenish some supplies, lure the Yakshas over, and kill them one by one.
This was Gu Xi's plan: to turn the Siege Warfare into a defensive battle.
Gu Xi clearly understood the difference between attacking and defending a city.
Perhaps in other people's eyes, attacking a city means having the initiative, while defending a city means being passively attacked.
But in Gu Xi's eyes, it was quite the opposite.
In terms of timing, attacking a city puts you at a disadvantage from the start, as the timing is not favorable, and the location is not as Geographical Advantage as defending a city.
Finally, there's the issue of Popular Support; the morale of the defending troops will be significantly higher.
Although the undead do not need morale, the effect is still there.
Conversely, if Gu Xi can turn the siege into a defensive one, the situation will be under Gu Xi control.
Gu Xi has now prepared the cities to be defended and is just waiting for the Yakshas to attack.
However, Gu Xi can think this way, and the Yakshas are not mindless undead; of course they understand the problem.
These yakshas will run away when surrounded by a large army, and will choose to launch a sneak attack when there are fewer people.
This suggests that there must be some clever Yaksha behind them.
Gu Xi set up camp here, built city walls, and arranged manpower, and the Yakshas immediately saw what Gu Xi was planning to do.
After the Gray Yaksha and the Carrion Worm's attack failed, they immediately retreated, abandoning their plan to attack Gu Xi.
In their view, Gu Xi's arrangement was definitely intended to make them attack the city.
The Yakshas aren't stupid; they wouldn't do such a thing.
These yakshas pretended not to notice Gu Xi's actions.
It won't even affect Yasha's life.
After all, Gu Xi's camp was located outside the city walls, some distance from the front and back gates of the Earth Demon Cave.
So, in reality, Gu Xi wasn't fighting by blocking the gate.
Surely Gu Xi's small force wouldn't dare to go to the front and back gates to provoke them.
At most, Gu Xi out some Flying Troops to provoke us in the sky.
At worst, they can just unleash the Gray Yaksha to retaliate.
This is not scary at all for the Yakshas.
Some even thought that Gu Xi had gone mad.
Such a good opportunity, and this is how it ends? Did he really think that just because he appeared outside the walls of the Earth Demon Cave, the Yakshas would attack him? He's overthinking it.
The Yakshas all wore expressions of disdain.
However, they did not notice that Gu Xi was currently having his troops clean up the battlefield, rest, prepare weapons and equipment, and replenish their strength.
They summoned spirits to replenish their forces, called out the undead that had just been transformed into the Aryadovi City, and prepared for the decisive battle that was about to begin.
Meanwhile, Yong Dou and his Skeleton Mage were setting up the altar, adjusting the steps and details of the magic ritual, and preparing for new Ritual Magic.
That's as if he was certain that the Yaksha would get into trouble on his own.
The yakshas standing on the city wall watched Gu Xi's every move, their eyes flashing with disdain.
"Let's go, he's just a boring lunatic, nothing to see."
"You said his men seem to have started digging downwards. What if they dig through the Underground Palace?"
"So what if they dig through it? Is the person inside the Underground Palace someone he can afford to offend?"
"That's true, but no, why do I always feel like stabbing myself?"
"Me too, something seems off."
Not only the yakshas on the nearby city walls, but all living beings within a 15-mile radius were affected by this, and all had the urge to commit suicide.
They even took direct action, either stabbing themselves or crashing into nearby pillars or other objects.
This feeling only ended after they made their move.
However, everyone could sense that the suicidal feeling they had just experienced was entirely drawn from the direction of Gu Xi.
Although these yakshas are intelligent, they were still driven to madness by such provocation and charged toward Gu Xi's camp.
Some of the Yakshas even jumped off the city wall and rushed towards Gu Xi's camp.
Seeing this, Gu Xi smiled and withdrew his right hand, the Fox Eye Ring on his index finger slowly darkening.
That last move was Gu Xi's Mind Kill.
Now that the enemy is charging in, Gu Xi naturally has to prepare for battle.
"Wave of Death, Yong Dou, cast Slow Spell!"
