First Battle
As soon as he left the Frostwind Valley, Gu Xi felt the biting cold wind rushing towards him. He shrank his body into the Cotton Quilt, glanced in the direction he was looking, and then let the Evil Coffin move forward on its own.
He wrapped himself up completely and lay half-lying on the Evil Coffin, hoping that the cold wind wouldn't blow him away.
Outside the Frostwind Valley, the ground was frozen solid, with thick snow piled up on the ground from time to time. The streams were frozen solid, and you could see frozen fish leaping from the surface of the streams from time to time.
In the wilderness, there is a slightly conspicuous road, where wild animals with white fur can be seen roaming from time to time.
These wild animals seem to be affected by something; whenever they detect any unusual movement on the road, they will come to investigate and even follow and attack.
They were not unfamiliar with Gu Xi riding a coffin-like vehicle. Before long, a pack of wolves appeared behind Gu Xi, following him furtively.
An attack could be launched at any time.
Gu Xi had already noticed the situation behind him as soon as he left the city, but he ignored it.
Now that Gu Xi is alone, and the Evil Coffin moves very fast without consuming any stamina, he can simply rush forward and leave these wolves far behind.
Let them run around a bit longer, and wait until the number of wolves has increased before Gu Xi releases his Undead Army.
At that time, there will be a large number of corpses. Whether Gu Xi wants to eat wolf meat, or use these corpses to play with Corpse Explosion or Summoning, there will be enough corpses.
If we show our strength now and scare these wolves into submission, we won't gain anything.
Therefore, Gu Xi simply increased the speed of movement, making the Evil Coffin fly even faster.
Upon seeing this situation, the wolf that had been watching Gu Xi stopped its stealth and jumped out of the field, running and chasing after him relentlessly.
Every now and then it would howl, seemingly contacting its companions or preparing for a hunt.
If it were an ordinary person, they would have been scared to death by such a thing.
But which of these beings who roam this world isn't a necromancer? The undead they usually carry around have no concept of morale or fatigue.
Such tricks are no problem for necromancers.
Most of the wolves have also learned their lesson; they won't act rashly if they see someone with a necromancer under their command.
The wolves decided to attack Gu Xi today because they saw that Gu Xi was all alone.
However, they did not expect that Gu Xi did not bring his subordinates, not because Gu Xi had no subordinates, but because he had other means.
Seeing the increasing number of wolves behind him, Gu Xi also laughed.
"We've already made a profit so soon. As expected, necromancers grow stronger in battle."
Gu Xi muttered to himself as he looked back at the number of wolves behind him.
When the number of wolves reached about three hundred, Gu Xi slammed his hand heavily on the coffin lid. The Evil Coffin spun around and changed direction, charging straight towards the wolves.
The wolves that were Death Fate chasing from behind were stunned when they saw this.
None of them expected Gu Xi to be so brave, charging straight at them all by himself. In the past, only professional players known as Death Knight would do something like that.
But Gu Xi doesn't look like a Death Knight at all.
What serious Death Knight would go out and wrap themselves in a Cotton Quilt?
Just then, a tall City Gate appeared behind Gu Xi.
This time, Gu Xi wasn't just opening the City Gate to scare people; the City Gate of the Death City appeared directly on the battlefield.
At the same time, Skeleton Soldier bearing the banner of the Bonecleaver Battalion charged out, wielding Two-Handed Sword.
Upon seeing the strength of the Bonecleaver Battalion, Gu Xi felt somewhat relieved.
Luna received his note and assigned all one hundred Skeleton Soldier she had sent to the Bonecleaver Battalion Camp.
[Bonecleaver Battalion (Level 1, Traits: Attack +5, Defense +1, Experience 77/200): Commander (1/2), Level 2 Skeleton Boss, Members (123/243), 123 Level 3 Skeleton Two-handed Swordsman]
After glancing at the attributes of the Bonecleaver Battalion, Gu Xi waved his hand.
"Kill them!"
The Skeleton Two-handed Swordsman of the Bonecleaver Battalion charged towards the wolves with their weapons raised. As they charged forward, another group of Skeleton emerged from the City Gate.
These Skeleton were Gu Xi's Skeleton Archer, and because they lacked a suitable Skeleton Head leader, they were currently in a scattered state.
Beside them was Luna, who led a Zombie army and Ghost Squad.
Upon seeing Gu Xi, Luna immediately said, "My lord, I have brought men with me."
"What about Battle Squad 1 and Battle Squad 2?"
Upon seeing Luna approach, Gu Xi sat up straight.
"They guard the Dock Area."
"What about the more than 5,000 souls that were sent in before? Are they still following orders?"
Gu Xi asked another question. At this moment, the Skeleton Two-handed Swordsman of the Bonecleaver Battalion had already rushed in front of the wolf. All the Skeleton Two-handed Swordsman did the same action, raising their Longsword from below.
Just then, the wolves also made their decision: to kill the enemy.
At this moment, the wolf charged straight ahead, intending to pounce on the Skeleton Two-handed Swordsman's throat and deliver a fatal blow.
The Two-Handed Sword, thrusting upwards, slashed precisely at the wolf's belly.
With a single sword strike, the wolf's abdomen was completely cut open, its internal organs spilling onto the ground.
At that moment, the Skeleton Two-handed Swordsman's Longsword reached their highest point. They pressed down hard, unleashing a devastating slash that struck the wolf's head.
In just one encounter, more than a hundred wolves were killed on the spot.
[When the Skeleton Swordsman (Summoned Creature) kills a level 2 wolf, you gain 1 experience point, the Bonecleaver Battalion gains 1 experience point, and the Summoned Creature gains 8 experience points.]
[When the Skeleton Swordsman (Summoned Creature) kills Wilderness Wolf (level 2), you gain 1 experience point, the Bonecleaver Battalion gains 1 experience point, and the Summoned Creature gains 9 experience points.]
[When the Skeleton Swordsman (Summoned Creature) kills Winter Wolf (level 3), you gain 1 experience point, the Bonecleaver Battalion gains 1 experience point, and the Summoned Creature gains 13 experience points.]
[...]
[The Bonecleaver Battalion has reached the required experience level; Bonecleaver Battalion level has been increased!]
[Bonecleaver Battalion (Level 2, Traits: Attack +5, Defense +1, Attack Speed +20%, Experience 2/500): Commander (1/3), Level 2 Skeleton Boss, Members (123/343), 123 Level 3 Skeleton Two-handed Swordsman]
Just like that, the Bonecleaver Battalion was upgraded? Gu Xi was also shocked by the situation before him.
However, he immediately realized that this was the necromancer's greatest characteristic.
In addition to the soldiers gaining experience from the kills by the Undead Army, the necromancer and the undead soldier's unit will also receive 1 experience point as a reward.
As long as there are a large number of undead soldiers, the necromancer and troops will level up quickly.
Understanding this, Gu Xi didn't wait for Lu Nu's reply and decisively gave the order.
"Skeleton Archer, advance and kill all the wolves."
