Undead Mage from a Cell

When the new troops were in position, Gu Xi decisively gave the order.

"Begin the attack, Dominic, you lead the advance."

Under Gu Xi’s command, the newly arrived undead corps joined Dominic’s forces and proceeded towards the city together.

This time they once again took the path that had previously caused trouble for Amirka.

They encountered the same situation that Amirka faced.

Because the road was quite peculiar, Amirka couldn’t fully utilize the combat power of the knights here before.

Although his men were extremely powerful, the further they charged in, the slower their movement became, eventually surrounded by numerous Mud Undead from all sides.

Such a means of attack, even the strongest troops would be disadvantaged in this aspect.

If it weren’t for Amirka’s extraordinary grasp of knight strategizing, he might have lost a large number of troops in that charge.

When Dominic now led the undead corps forward, he encountered the same situation.

But the problem he faced was different from what Amirka encountered.

The cavalry Amirka led initially numbered less than five thousand, a significant disadvantage in number when facing the Mud Undead defending Death City.

Now, Dominic’s troops were different.

The number of undead he led was considerable; the ones he initially had, combined with the newly joined ones, now exceeded twenty thousand.

When Gu Xi sent Dominic out, he didn’t forget to open two Ghost Gates, releasing low-level undead from the Ghost Gate as cannon fodder.

This way, Gu Xi’s number of attacking undead exceeded forty thousand.

Such a force was considered relatively large even in current Yalidov.

As they set off, they naturally caught the immediate attention of the Death City ahead.

Just as Amirka had said, when the undead troops crossed a certain line, the holes on the ground of Death City began spraying clusters of mud.

After being ejected, these mud clusters immediately transformed into Mud Undead, attacking Dominic’s forces.

But Gu Xi, observing from behind, noticed a situation.

These Mud Undead were without command.

This discovery made Gu Xi’s eyes brighten.

Gu Xi knew very well that whether troops are commanded or not makes a world of difference in performance.

He also realized that these released Mud Undead should be similar to a part of the city’s background.

They could temporarily act as defending forces but could not be considered as part of the regular troops of the Octopus-headed Undead Mage.

This is just like the undead laborers inside Yalidu City.

When Yalidu City is attacked, they might pick up weapons, but to make them regular troops under Gu Xi’s command, extensive training would be required.

Not to mention, Gu Xi currently doesn’t accept anyone in his regular army below Level 5.

The same situation appeared in the Death City ahead.

But looking at the situation of these sprayed Mud Undead, their system still had certain differences from Gu Xi’s undead system.

Gu Xi still felt that the core of the Mud Undead were those transformed into semi-transparent mud due to the influence of the undead aura.

While ordering the undead corps to attack these Mud Undead, Gu Xi’s attention remained focused on the holes spraying this mud.

Gu Xi’s guess was actually spot on.

These hole-like passages were actually the air tubes of this Death City.

Below the Death City, the Octopus-headed Undead Mage was in a moderately large underground space.

All four walls of this underground space were pink flesh walls, and occasionally, an eye would open on the wall surface.

Through the light emitted from the eyes, the Octopus-headed Undead Mage could clearly see everything happening on the ground.

One or two tentacles would occasionally hang down from the ceiling.

These tentacles would make contact with the Octopus-headed Undead Mage’s head, and some corresponding commands could be transmitted through them.

Such operation was far superior to Gu Xi’s direct command outside.

But at this moment, the Octopus-headed Undead Mage’s face looked quite grim, the six tentacles on his face waving continuously, unnaturally curling, looking as if he was angrily suppressing his emotions.

As a tentacle touched the forehead of the Octopus-headed Undead Mage, this emotion became more intense.

He pulled the tentacle from his forehead and slammed it onto the ground, letting out a sharp cry.

"Wait a while, wait a while, anymore waiting and my city will be gone.

Damn it, when they handed over Death City, they promised everything would be good.

From then on, I would be a part of the Death City Cluster; when one side is threatened, all sides support.

Now what, no troops, everywhere there’s no troops.

I don’t believe it, they attack me, they can be attacked too.

They just don’t want to support me, just want to swallow the Death City essence I contribute.

If you are unjust, don’t blame me for being unrighteous.

If you don’t come, then don’t blame me for taking some actions."

The Octopus-headed Undead Mage no longer tried to command the troops to resist Gu Xi’s invasion.

In his view, the invasion was already inevitable.

He planned to kill Gu Xi here.

Even if the whole Death City is used as a sacrifice, it’s okay.

As long as Gu Xi is dead, the Death City thirty miles away will be his greatest prize.

Then he will still have a Death City in his possession.

Moreover, he wouldn’t need to be under the upper management of the Death City Cluster like now.

Actually, this is the biggest trouble for these Octopus-heads.

Their entire race possesses abilities related to spirit communication.

Regardless of your profession, everything will be spirit communication.

There’s no secret between them.

Thus, their cooperation between professions will be quite well-coordinated.

Once an undead mage controls a Death City, other Octopus-headed undead mages will immediately know.

They will directly come to request mutual cooperation and joint development between the Death Cities.

This way, in the beginning, it’s rapid development, but the subsequent growth will be limited.

The development speed of a Death City won’t surpass the overall speed of the Death City Cluster.

It’s simply impossible to hide one’s little secrets within this race of Octopus-heads.

So the Octopus-head is now infuriated and plans to jump out.

He plans to sacrifice his own Death City, annihilate Gu Xi completely, and then conquer Gu Xi’s Death City.

By then, that Death City will be his alone.

Even if he wishes to ascend all at once, no one can stop him.
