A Devastating Blow to the Enemies Who Showed Up

Two hours later, Gu Xi was shaken awake by Grand Princess Anna.

I glanced at the countdown on the forced mission screen; the enemy would arrive in about ten minutes.

Gu Xi patted his face vigorously before standing up.

After clearing his mind, Gu Xi waved his hand, and a large number of Gargoyle flew in all directions.

Also flying out at the same time were the Crow Spearman who were originally stationed at Aryadovi Tower.

Both types of troops fly quite fast; they are currently out scouting the outside world.

The enemy is about to appear, Gu Xi needs to determine their location.

Meanwhile, within Aryadovi Tower, all units had quickly taken their positions.

Corpse Poison Fly Evil Bone Locust took flight and hovered in the sky. Below them, the newly risen White Bone Canopy Evil Bone Locust the sky above Aryadovi Tower.

On the ground, Bone-Eating Mud and Bone-Eating Swamp were crawling. The previous incident with the worms had reminded Gu Xi that the enemy might not be attacking from the front; they might also crawl out from underground.

To prevent being ambushed, Gu Xi had no choice but to cover every inch of Aryadovi Tower's ground with Bone-Eating Mud to prevent enemies from emerging from underground.

On the city walls, Skeleton Archer patrolled back and forth, led by their Skeleton Archer Leader.

Some distance behind Aryadovi Tower, the Skeleton Mage, led by their Skeleton Magician Head, were guarding Yong Dou's side.

Meanwhile, over six hundred Corpse Child, who were already prepared, stood nearby.

These are for offering sacrifices to the Demon Offering Camp. If the enemy comes alone, these are the offerings.

Five minutes before the enemy was in position, Gu Xi had already stood on the walls of Aryadovi Tower, the same spot where Grand Princess Anna had stood on the two previous times Gu Xi had visited.

It must be said that the view from here is much better than from the Summoning Tower.

From this vantage point, Gu Xi can see a large area around him.

While stuffing roasted owl or something similar into his mouth, Gu Xi kept his eyes fixed on everything in the distance.

With three minutes remaining, the Gargoyle and Crow Spearman began to circle in the sky, searching for every detail.

For them, finding even the slightest clue as to the enemy's appearance would be a victory for Gu Xi.

With less than a minute left in the countdown, a Gargoyle suddenly noticed a subtle change in a certain place.

The Gargoyle didn't have time to go back and report; it flew directly into the sky, circling continuously to warn Gu Xi and the others to pay attention to this place.

Gu Xi and Grand Princess Anna were standing on the City Gate. Upon seeing this situation, Grand Princess Anna, who was most familiar with the terrain around Aryadovi Tower, decisively spoke up.

"It's about 3,500 meters from here, within our control but not our influence. The enemy is probably advancing in a large force. They are likely preparing to consolidate their troops here before moving forward."

Gu Xi also noticed this situation at this time.

More Domi, this was outside the attack range of most of Gu Xi's men.

Even with Gu Xi's previous arrangements, the range was only about a thousand Domi at most.

The enemy appeared at an altitude of over 3,000 Domi, indicating that they were a large army advancing.

"Luna, Aryadovi City is your territory. Is there any way to move them to the front?"

With only thirty-odd seconds left, Gu Xi turned around and looked behind him.

Upon hearing Gu Xi's order, Luna immediately replied, "Okay, I'll give it a try."

After saying that, Luna took the [Seal - Demon Blood Sacrifice Mirror] and disappeared behind Gu Xi.

Then Gu Xi raised his hand and loudly commanded, "Yong Dou, get ready to begin."

Upon hearing this, Yong Dou immediately began the magical ritual.

Twelve hours is a very tight timeframe for Yong Dou.

During those twelve hours, he reorganized the magical rituals he had researched.

Abandon the obviously flawed magical ritual approach of the Blood Loss Curse.

They also abandoned the Ice Ring Spell, which was ineffective.

Some adjustments were made to the Slow Spell, making it a ritual that can be performed by a leader with a hundred Skeleton Mage.

By Yong Dou, one can unleash the Slow Spell, ensuring that the Slow Spell can be cast at any time.

Yong Dou himself can also break free from the Slow Spell's magical ritual to conduct research and use other magical rituals.

As soon as Gu Xi gave the order, Yong Dou immediately commanded, "First team, proceed with the ceremony. Second team, prepare. Frost-type Skeleton Mage, wait where you are. The remaining Skeleton Mage, prepare at altar number seven."

At Yong's command, all the Skeleton Mage quickly took their positions.

At that very moment, the countdown for the mandatory task reached zero.

At the location previously discovered by the Gargoyle, a massive, Eastern-style Teleportation Gate phantom appeared.

Meanwhile, behind that Teleportation Gate, a large number of terracotta warriors Teleportation Gate.

It was obvious that they wanted to wait for the Teleportation Gate to be in place before rushing out of Teleportation Gate.

The problem is that as soon as the phantom of the Teleportation Gate appeared, a flash of light appeared nearby, and the Teleportation Gate phantom, which had not yet stabilized, was moved to a position less than a thousand meters away from Aryadovi Tower.

The moment the Teleportation Gate moved forward, Yong Dou had already completed his magical ritual.

"Mana Drain!"

Under Yong Dou's extraction, a large amount of mana was drawn out from behind the Teleportation Gate.

Because there were many Skeleton Mage Extract Mana at the same time, a large amount of mana was Mana Drain this time, and it turned into a rainbow that fell directly from the Teleportation Gate onto the altar of the magic ritual.

Because too much magic power was extracted, a large amount of it condensed into liquid and flowed from the ritual altar onto the ground, where no one dealt with it.

Yong Dou is happy to Mana Drain.

The situation on the other side of the Teleportation Gate is not so good.

As the mana was drained, the Teleportation Gate, which had just solidified, began to shake violently.

About seven or eight seconds later, the Teleportation Gate that had just landed disappeared in front of Gu Xi and his group with a "poof," just like a bubble blown by the wind, leaving behind only about 10,000 soldiers in mixed formations.

Among these soldiers, a bewildered young man looked around with some confusion.

He seemed to be thinking, "Where are my soldiers?"

What's going on here?

At that moment, Gu Xi heard a "ding" sound in his ear.

[Forced quest update: Yaksha Jade Tree King has appeared. Due to your prior preparations, Yaksha Jade Tree King's forces encountered problems. Only about one-tenth of his troops entered your territory, 30% remained where they were and did not follow, and the rest disappeared during teleportation, their fate unknown.]

Your chances of defeating the Yaksha Jade Tree King have greatly increased!
