Mandatory Mission, Orange Gear Reward

[Mandatory Quest: The Jade Tree's Fury!]

[Mission Description: You have taken the final and most crucial material for Yaksha Jade Tree King's grand plan—his body. Your actions have angered Yaksha Jade Tree King, who will arrive at the location where his body is kept in twelve hours and attempt to reclaim it. Please ensure that the body is not taken away!]

[Mission Requirements: Protect your body from being stolen (0/1) or defeat the Yaksha Jade Tree King (0/1)]

[Quest Reward: 1 piece of equipment (95% chance of being purple, 5% chance of being Orange Equipment).]

[Note 1: This body is extremely important to Yaksha Jade Tree King. Losing this body, or even the death of the body itself, would be a huge price for him. He will definitely come.]

[Note 2: The actions of Yaksha Jade Tree King this time will have a profound impact on this world. Please be cautious when facing Yaksha Jade Tree King.]

At first, Gu Xi was somewhat angry when she saw that she had been forced to take on a task.

But when Gu Xi saw that there was a 5% chance of getting Orange Equipment, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Grand Princess Anna, I need Aryadovi Tower."

Grand Princess Anna glanced at Gu Xi, completely bewildered.

"This Yaksha King will come back to take his body. I will put this body in Aryadovi Tower and fight him Aryadovi Tower."

Although she didn't know how Gu Xi got the information, Grand Princess Anna still said it with certainty.

"Alright, I'll help you, sir. But how far do you intend to go in this battle?"

"Even if it means rebuilding Aryadovi Tower, the Yaksha King must die."

Grand Princess Anna glanced at Gu Xi, "As you wish, sir."

"Go and prepare first. I remember the Yaksha Mother we killed before was level 17. She had the talent of Dual Death, which could summon a powerful level 17 undead in the city."

Go and fetch her, and prepare to join the battle.

In addition, other troops will be mobilized, and Dimi will be recalled if necessary.

Then mobilize the Corpse Poison Fly and White Bone Locust, and withdraw all troops between Aryadovi Tower and the Steel City Gate to prevent the battle from dragging on to this side.

"Make sure Yong Dou is prepared. This time, there probably won't be a chance to sacrifice his life for him. Let him figure out a way himself."

Gu Xi quickly issued his orders.

He knew very well that although his troops seemed numerous, those level 10 and above could be easily dispatched by tapping.

There is only one person above level 15, and I'm not quite sure what their situation is.

To face the level 19 Yaksha Jade Tree King, Gu Xi must deploy all of his troops.

It's just that time is a bit tight. Otherwise, the corpse of the Yaksha Mother could have been successfully transformed into a level 17 undead. Two level 17 undead might have been able to fight against the Yaksha Jade Tree King.

However, no matter what, Gu Xi never expected to use the level 45 Great Lord located deep within the Mirror Dungeon world.

Although everything could be resolved if the body were delivered to him within 12 hours.

But what will Gu Xi gain after Gu Xi succeeds?

On the contrary, by defeating the Yaksha Jade Tree King, he can not only complete the mission and get the mission rewards, but the Yaksha Jade Tree King will also drop equipment. His talent can also allow Gu Xi to obtain a level 19 master.

Even a level 19 soldier would be fine. Whether he were kept by his side or stationed in the old and new Aryadovi City, it would be of great benefit to Gu Xi.

Not to mention, this mission rewards Orange Equipment, and even if the chance of it appearing is low, Gu Xi is willing to take the gamble.

Under Gu Xi's orders, Grand Princess Anna immediately relayed the message back.

Gu Xi, meanwhile, directed the Ghost Squad to quickly clear away everything in front of them.

The battle is about to begin, Gu Xi time is extremely tight.

He doesn't have time to stay here any longer.

He still had a lot to deal with, after all, twelve hours was quite intense, and Gu Xi had to arrange everything properly.

Otherwise, relying solely on his troops at level 10 and above, he probably wouldn't have been able to win this battle.

When unaffected, the Ghost Squad can move items very quickly.

In less than half an hour, the Ghost Squad had emptied the entire Earth Demon Cave.

As for the things on the ground, Gu Xi no longer needed to Gu Xi them. Looking at the empty cave, Gu Xi returned to Aryadovi City immediately.

Upon entering the city, Gu Xi encountered Luna and Shaya.

"Sir, what happened?"

Luna had just received Gu Xi's orders and was also curious about what Gu Xi had encountered.

"Did you see that huge corpse that was just brought back?"

"I saw it," Luna said definitively. "Is there something wrong with this body?"

"The corpse is the body of a level 19 master. Without the body, his soul has no support, so no matter what happens, he will definitely come back to snatch the body."

Our mission is to protect the body, and even kill that guy. If we can protect it, we might even have a chance to get Orange Equipment.

Luna and Shaya have been with Gu Xi for so long, so they naturally know the significance of Orange Equipment to Gu Xi.

Upon understanding the situation, they immediately became concerned.

"My lord, has the battlefield been chosen yet?"

"Sir, has the intelligence been clarified?"

"I plan to fight outside Aryadovi Tower. The walls in other places are too thin, and Aryadovi Tower is our Main Battle Castle, so its defenses will definitely be stronger than those of the City Gate."

Otherwise, given our current situation, it won't be smooth sailing for us no matter which side we choose to fight on.

On the contrary, it will hinder the construction of Aryadovi City.

As for intelligence, I don't have time to deal with it right now. Shaya, can you gather enough information within six hours?

Shaya thought for a moment, then said earnestly, "I'll try my best."

Gu Xi didn't insist too much, after all, given their current location, it would take them quite a long time to return to the Soul Gathering Ground.

Moreover, even if she went back, given Shaya's current status, she might not be able to find out anything.

Therefore, Gu Xi could only ask Shaya to try her best to find out. It didn't matter if she couldn't find out, Gu Xi still had more than ten hours to prepare.

At this moment, Luna suddenly asked, "Sir, can we dispose of this corpse?"

Gu Xi's eyes lit up when he heard this, but in the end he shook his head.

"I have no choice. My Undead Transformation is still only half-baked. It will take a very long time to deal with this, and the creature that will be transformed will probably not be a combat-capable being."

Gu Xi eventually gave up on this idea.

"Instead of using this time, let's find a way to strengthen Aryadovi Tower's defenses. By the way, where are those architects? Call them over; we're very pressed for time."
