————————

Starting from the ruins of Tenshou Pavilion, Gu Xi noticed that the number of demons causing him trouble along the way had decreased.

Many demons, upon seeing Gu Xi’s team, would immediately turn around and leave, while some nearby Tenshou Pavilions also raised lanterns of different colors in advance.

Though Gu Xi didn’t understand what these lanterns meant, it was obvious they didn’t want to fight.

Gu Xi considered randomly choosing a Tenshou Pavilion to attack directly.

But then he thought about the guesthouse he rented, which might turn into this scene at night.

Since they hadn’t offended him, Gu Xi really didn’t need to invade someone else’s home directly.

Only if they attacked first would Gu Xi make his move.

However, considering the current situation, very few would actively attack Gu Xi’s team.

This wasn’t exactly good news.

Gu Xi was hoping to use this opportunity to gather more undead soldiers.

Thinking about this situation, Gu Xi’s eyes started darting around, and the Red Dragon in the sky seemed devoid of morale, circling silently, lacking its previous momentum.

At this moment, Gu Xi suddenly heard a sharp wailing sound.

The sound was thin and piercing, as if coming from thousands of meters away at the end of the street.

"Banshee Wail?"

Gu Xi was taken aback; this was a skill of the Undead Mage. Gu Xi hadn’t learned it, but Luna had mastered it. Back when Gu Xi was relatively weak, Luna had personally stepped in to assist him.

It seemed there was an Undead Mage fighting ahead.

Normally, Gu Xi wouldn’t think too much about it, but now it was different.

Gu Xi was idle with nothing to do.

All the demons ran upon seeing Gu Xi, leaving him with no battles for a while.

Such a lively scene was something Gu Xi couldn’t possibly ignore.

"Turn, move out!"

Under Gu Xi’s command, the undead corps quickly changed direction.

After rushing for a distance, Gu Xi saw a tall battle banner erected on the spot.

On the battle array was drawn a fish dragon leaping out from the water, only this fish dragon was a skeletal type.

Entering the range of the battle banner, Gu Xi felt a chill and moisture sweeping over him.

Gu Xi immediately knew the origins of the Undead Mage involved in the battle here.

They came from Bailian City’s First Guild, Sea of Bones.

Looking from afar, Gu Xi discovered that a chaotic battle had already ensued here.

Nine players surrounded an Undead Mage, a man in a bone battle robe, commanding the troops to fight against demons and monsters.

On the battlefield, these nine Undead Mages were cooperating quite well, with two specifically responsible for summoning, while the remaining Undead Mages each had their tasks.

The undead corps they commanded numbered about two thousand five hundred, with most having combat power between Level 3 and 5, and Gu Xi even saw a detachment of Vampires starting at Level 6 beside an Undead Mage.

As expected, the First Guild is unparalleled. Even ordinary players have so many powerful troops.

However, the number of attacking forces was noticeably larger, with nearly twenty Demon Sorcerers from Cold Leaf City.

The demon corps they brought numbered over four thousand.

In addition, there were demon corps whose inclusion was unexplained.

It was obvious that all the nearby demons were attracted here.

The number of these demons also exceeded four thousand, totaling over eight thousand against two thousand five hundred.

The Undead Mages could withstand such an attack and even launch counterattacks, suggesting they weren’t too bad.

Yet, now they were clearly at a disadvantage.

The undead were not known for combat power; their greatest trait was numbers.

Currently, the sea of bones had not taken shape, and they were being suppressed by the numbers of other troops, leaving Gu Xi somewhat speechless.

After glancing at the battlefield situation, Gu Xi made a decision in his heart.

Attack.

Gu Xi placed the main city gate behind him, and Arroyo led the Black Spear Camp out from the city gate.

"Fight all the way over, reach those Undead Mages."

Arroyo glanced at the demons and monsters along the way, a smile appearing on his metallic face.

This crowded battlefield was his favorite kind, as only in such a setting could Arroyo show what true teamwork meant.

With this thought in mind, Arroyo raised his war axe and took a step forward.

Behind him, all the lancers raised their long spears.

With this movement, all the nearby demons turned their heads to look.

However, they didn’t quite understand what was happening. The emerging troops were shrouded in black dust, making it impossible to see how many there were. The only visible detail was the gleaming cold light on the soldiers’ skin.

"Be careful, it’s the Iron People variation from the tower, high defense, high magic resistance, slow moving, prepare to kite them."

The Black Spear Camp hadn’t even reached the battlefield when Gu Xi heard someone shout from within the demon horde.

Following the direction of the voice, Gu Xi discovered there was an Order Mage mixed among the demons.

This Order Mage had already released his innate strange ability, his face covered in red, purple, and black handprints, each with an eye blinking within.

Such a peculiar ability allowed him to view the battlefield from various angles.

It was because of this ability, that he was assigned to inspect the nearby battlefield, to avoid outsiders from disrupting their operation.

Now that this one was targeted by Gu Xi, Gu Xi wouldn’t let him go.

"Troops, advance, prepare for an all-out attack!"

The cannon fodder undead that followed Gu Xi, upon hearing his command, rushed toward the demons, heedless of the consequences.

The nearby demons resembled a human centipede creature, and despite their length, they moved swiftly on the ground.

Seeing the undead corps charging over, hundreds of such human centipedes lunged forward, engaging with the cannon fodder undead.

These cannon fodder undead comprised various troop types, lacking any coordination.

However, with Gu Xi’s main city gate set up, his battle banner flying high.

The undead under Gu Xi’s command received corresponding enhancements.

Even the unorganized miscellaneous troops saw attribute boosts.

Combined with their decent numbers, they tangled with those human centipedes.

Gu Xi continued as before, directing his undead corps, placing the defense troops at the front, with Skeleton Shooters and Skeleton Mages providing support from behind.

He focused all his attention on summoning.

As Gu Xi acted, the besieged Undead Mages were overjoyed.

Finally, help had arrived.
