Preparations for Battle Complete

Today is my birthday, so I'm adding an extra chapter to celebrate. Please subscribe!

As for the troops that are preparing to fight this time, Gu Xi has mobilized the entire city.

Apart from the few Hero currently in the city, all troops above level 7 have begun to move towards Aryadovi City.

In addition to the troops that Gu Xi had led out, these troops also included the tens of thousands of new undead that had been killed and respawned in Aryadovi City during the attack on the Earth Demon Cave.

Most of the units in the Yaksha lineage are well-suited to become Zombie. Even the previous Gray Yaksha and Painted-Skin Yasha were transformed into Zombie.

One method involves attaching balloons to oneself to make oneself fly.

Another method is to use makeup to make oneself look like Zombie Living Dead.

Their levels are all between level 6 and level 8.

For this battle, Gu Xi transferred all his troops above level 7, which directly added more than 15,000 new troops to his Gu Xi.

If all such troops were crammed into the Aryadovi Tower, there probably wouldn't be enough room.

Finally, Grand Princess Anna came up with a solution: to arrange for them to stay outside New Aryadovi City.

Only three thousand men were selected to fill the basic defensive forces of Aryadovi Tower.

When manpower is needed, Aryadovi Tower can switch timelines, and these troops can be brought in.

This not only ensures that Aryadovi Tower has sufficient defense and that its internal structure remains stable, but also guarantees the replenishment of troops and the transportation of resources.

While Gu Xi was mobilizing everything in the city to prepare for the impending battle, Shaya also returned three hours before the battle began.

Gu Xi originally thought that Shaya would not be able to find out any information.

But he never expected that Shaya would be able to find out some information in such a short time.

"My lord, the behavior of this Yaksha King is actually quite common on the Yellow Springs Road."

I've inquired about it, and they say it's a method to break through to a higher realm.

Not only are there similar arrangements on the Yellow Springs Road, but there are also similar arrangements in the Human Realm.

They hide their bodies and reincarnate their souls in the human world. In the human world, they either play in the mortal world and temper their minds, or rise to power and gain national fortune, or do good deeds and accumulate a lot of merit.

In this way, after their reincarnated bodies die, they can use the accumulation of their past lives to allow their dormant original bodies to reach a higher level.

However, it is quite rare to see someone like Yaksha King who uses the technique of feigning death to bury himself on the Yellow Springs Road.

They say that the Yaksha King is quite a ruthless person.

On the Yellow Springs Road, the yakshas of the Earth Demon Cave are nothing special. Not to mention the Soul Gathering Ground, any Ghost King who sets his sights on that land can take it over.

So everyone I asked felt there must be something wrong behind this, otherwise Yaksha King wouldn't have taken such a risk.

After listening, Gu Xi discovered that the information Shaya had gathered was almost identical to his own guess.

However, what Shaya finally found out made Gu Xi somewhat worried.

What's your opinion?

"I think there are only three reasons why the Yaksha King would hide himself in the Earth Demon Cave."

One reason is that he was driven to desperation and had no other choice but to temporarily hide himself here.

That's probably the least likely. The adults have seen it before. The Earth Demon Cave has existed for a long time. Putting aside everything else, the skeletons in the lake and the Yaksha eggs in the underground caves couldn't have been formed in just a day or two.

The Earth Demon Cave has existed for at least several decades, or even several centuries.

Therefore, the possibility of being forced to reincarnate and leave due to being pushed to the brink is very low.

Secondly, he has powerful backers; at least some high-ranking officials on the Yellow Springs Road are aware of the Yaksha King's actions.

That's why the Ghost King didn't go to the Earth Demon Cave.

However, there are some inconsistencies here, because the Earth Demon Cave is on the quest list.

Otherwise, we wouldn't have fought our way here.

Another possibility is that Yaksha King was a target or trap set up by someone else to attract the attention of other powerful figures.

We were just unlucky; we accidentally got caught up in this mess.

Listening to Shaya's analysis, Gu Xi nodded, as he had roughly the same judgment in his mind.

However, no matter what, he has already taken on this matter and has no intention of giving up easily.

He wasn't after the Orange Equipment; he wanted to prove himself and show that he was capable of fighting anyone.

"I understand, but regardless of Yaksha King's situation, we've already taken this on. Yaksha King is our enemy."

Did you find out any other information about the Yaksha King during your trip? For example, what is the Yaksha King's personality like?

Combat habits and such?

He must have some enemies, after all.

"I really haven't found out anything about this. It seems that everyone who knows about the Yaksha King has been silenced, and some people don't even know that there is such a Yaksha King."

I think the Yaksha King's main territory is not on the Yellow Springs Road.

If we have more time, we can inquire in other places and maybe find some clues.

But we really don't have enough time right now.

"Yes, there isn't enough time."

Gu Xi sighed, "However, this won't have much of an impact on us. I've already decided to fight this battle, so I won't think about other things too much."

Let's leave it at that.

The news you brought back is very important. Go and take a rest.

Our time is running out, and we may need your help again sometime.

After sending Shaya down, Gu Xi took care of some other matters.

With two hours remaining, Gu Xi summoned the two Death Avatar to the outside of Aryadovi Tower and cast the Ghost Domain Battlefield on them.

Finally, he said to Grand Princess Anna, "I'm going to rest for a bit. Wake me up in two hours."

Grand Princess Anna glanced at Gu Xi. "My lord, you haven't eaten for eight or nine hours. Why don't you eat something before you go to sleep?"

"Never mind, I've already eaten something. I'll eat more when the battle starts."

Gu Xi shook his head and found a place near the square in Aryadovi Tower to lie down and sleep.

Beside Gu Xi was the corpse of the Yaksha Jade Tree King that had been brought over.

It could be said that Gu Xi simply lay down next to the corpse and fell asleep immediately.

Grand Princess Anna's expression changed when she saw Gu Xi disregarding his status and simply lying down to sleep on the ground.

Gu Xi was able to fall asleep so quickly this time, it seems he was Wanquan confident.

At least now Gu Xi is like a qualified soldier, no longer like before when people could tell at a glance that he was a novice.

Indeed, the experience of such a major battle has a significant positive impact on a person's growth.
