A Powerful Undead Army
"Okay, come over here."
Upon hearing that Gu Xi was willing to take on this matter, the necromancer finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As a mid-level member of the Chaoyang Radiance Guild, he was well aware of what had happened in the CC80 World.
The main problem is that the three fortresses responsible for suppressing the world Fortress into trouble.
They failed to suppress the dangerous areas of this world, causing chaos and monsters to roam, much like a Hundred Ghosts Parade at Night or an Undead Scourge event involving the dead.
The main purpose of gathering so many players is to quell the chaos caused by the ghosts.
However, the most crucial aspect here is the situation at the three suppression Fortress.
One of the Fortress is in the best condition, as the necromancers and Death Knight guarding it are still there, and the only problem is the lack of troops.
Gu Xi's task was to send this batch of troops over.
Once this Undead Army arrives, the Fortress can be put to use.
After explaining the importance of the matter to Gu Xi, the necromancer continued.
"Gu Xi, you are a newcomer. Normally, such an important task would not be your responsibility, but the current situation is unfavorable. Players above level 5 cannot enter this world."
For players below level 5, if we want to transport 5,000 soldiers, we need to prepare at least 20,000 soldiers to have a chance of fighting our way through.
Only you can secretly send these troops to the designated location.
Most importantly, some of these soldiers are of a certain rank...
You could say you've come at a good time. Here are the troops you're supposed to bring in; take a look.
The necromancer led Gu Xi to a Teleportation Gate near the plaza.
This Teleportation Gate doesn't point to any Game World, but rather to a small, separately carved-out space.
Looking inside from outside the Teleportation Gate, Gu Xi discovered that there were five square formations of varying sizes inside.
There are two Skeleton Soldier formations, both clearly marked. One group consists of basic Skeleton Soldier Sword and Shield, while the other consists of Skeleton Archer.
However, their equipment clearly shows that they are much stronger than the Skeleton Soldier under Gu Xi's command.
The Zombie army was in a single square formation, with 1,500 people standing together. They held the thickest shields in one hand and Iron Hook with chains in the other.
Finally, the fewest Ghost split into two different units. One unit consisted of about three hundred people, who were the antique-style black-robed Ghost that Gu Xi had obtained before. The other unit consisted of Ghost with semi-transparent bodies.
However, Gu Xi noticed a problem after just one glance.
These troops seem to have a large number of personnel.
"Comrade, something's not right here. Aren't there a bit too many people?"
"As you can see, there are 5,500 people here. They are for your supplies on the road. After all, you will encounter all sorts of things along the way. If you encounter danger, you can use these troops."
But there's one thing you must be careful about: you can't afford to lose too many men. As long as you can get five thousand men to the Fortress, the mission is complete.
At this point, the necromancer took out another map and handed it to Gu Xi.
"You will appear here. After that, go through this road and see this Skeleton marker. Your mission objective is here."
Gu Xi looked at the location indicated on the map and found that there was a small line of text written at the last spot marked by Skeleton.
"The Loose Immortal Garden?"
"Yes, that's the name the president chose. There's nothing we can do about it. It's about 500 kilometers from the entrance to this world. We'll provide you with a good horse when the time comes."
Unless there's a major battle, it should take about a day to get there. If I factor in the time it might take for things to happen along the way, it'll be two days.
If you can get these soldiers to the Loose Immortal Garden within two days, you'll have completed your mission.
"Okay, I understand the task."
Gu Xi knew what he had to do after just a moment's thought. Then he pointed and the City Gate of the Death City appeared behind him.
This City Gate is much more solid than the Gu Xi used to scare people before. It is also clear that Gu Xi has installed a gate and a drawbridge inside the City Gate.
"Is this the legendary Three Divine Skills? It really is convenient to have your own Death City. This is the temporary commander of this force. You can use this to command them to fight for you once."
However, you must be careful, because after that, you will lose control of these undead.
The necromancer handed Gu Xi something that looked like a human head.
He also knew very well that as the master of the city, he would not allow any unsettling factors to enter his city.
Without handing over command of this force, these Undead Army will never be able to enter Gu Xi's Death City.
Taking the severed head, Gu Xi raised it to the Undead Army in the space and said, "All of you, line up and enter the Aryadovi City."
These undead soldiers were quite obedient. Under Gu Xi's command, they walked out of the spatial Teleportation Gate in batches and quickly entered the City Gate of Aryadovi City.
As they passed by Gu Xi also learned about the strength of this Undead Army.
[Temporary troops added, please approve!]
[The Sunshine White Bone Legion, a Tier 3 unit, comprises 2000 Skeleton Soldier with an average level of 6.]
[Light Archer Legion, Tier 3 unit, comprising 1000 Skeleton Archer, average level 7.]
[War Shackles Battalion, Tier 2 unit, comprising 1500 Heavy Armor Zombie, average level 7.]
[The Yin Wind Battalion, a Tier 3 unit, comprises 350 Ghost with an average level of 7.]
[Ghost Qi Battalion, Tier 4 unit, comprising 150 Ghost with an average level of 8.]
Looking at the information that popped up in front of him, Gu Xi was speechless. Were these troops really that strong? You have to know that even a weak Bone Dragon starts at level 7. Of the five troops in front of him, four of them had an average level of 7, and there were quite a few of them.
Gu Xi believed that any one of their troops could fight against Bone Dragon of the same level.
Moreover, Gu Xi always felt that these Zombie in the War Shackles Battalion were designed to deal with the Bone Dragon.
Such troop strength and power poured cold water on Gu Xi had initially thought he was invincible.
He still seems very weak now. At least any small guild in Bailian City could field such a powerful force. They wouldn't need any schemes; their strength alone could crush everything Gu Xi had to offer.
As these Undead Army entered, another five hundred undead also stepped into the Aryadovi City.
These five hundred undead are the reserve forces of these five units in proportion, and their level is one level lower than that of the regular soldiers.
However, as the necromancer said before, these extra soldiers were for expenses during the journey. As long as Gu Xi could deliver the five thousand soldiers to the Loose Immortal Garden on time, the extra undead soldiers should not need to be returned.
This is tantamount to giving Gu Xi a group of powerful soldiers. How could Gu Xi not be tempted by such a thing?
As the necromancer was sending these five troops into the Aryadovi City, he said something else.
"Come on, I'll take you to the Guild Shop. I have priority access. Replenish your supplies first, and then we'll set off immediately."
