"Why worry so much? It’s not like we can’t beat them. Bone Dragon Corps, go take a look."
Under Gu Xi’s command, all the Bone Dragons, Ghost Dragons, Ghost Dragon and Golden Bone Dragons flew up, heading towards the position where the Stone Golem discovered the enemy.
As for the rest of Gu Xi’s troops, they still followed the original plan, advancing if needed and guarding as planned.
When the Bone Dragon Corps flew out, naturally, it was led by that 26-level Ghost Dragon in front.
Their flight speed couldn’t match the proper Flying Dragons, but it was faster than the Stone Golem.
With the Stone Golem leading the way, they quickly arrived above where the Stone Golem found the enemy.
The Ghost Dragons looked downwards and found, just like the Stone Golem had seen, that about 40,000 Nidans troops were transporting some supplies ready to leave.
After circling the sky for a small half-circle, the Bone Dragons and Ghost Dragons immediately dived down.
As they dived, all kinds of curses were already being cast downwards.
Gu Xi’s Bone Dragons and Ghost Dragons, aside from the batch placed inside the Maze Demon City outside the maze, all the rest were here.
Ever since adding more than three thousand Golden Bone Dragons, the number of Bone Dragons here had exceeded eight thousand.
However, this type of troop didn’t have a suitable commander, not even a boss.
They were just led by the slightly stronger Bone Dragons, charging out together when needed.
Therefore, they didn’t divide into any thousand-man squads, as soon as they flew over, they dived down immediately.
These Bone Dragons were quite confident. In their eyes, eight thousand Bone Dragons, the strength on paper was definitely enough, what couldn’t they beat?
The current situation was just like this, all the Bone Dragons starting with a wave of curses, immediately causing over ninety percent of the life force below to be lost.
The Aging Curse is just so unreasonable.
Although it temporarily drops the upper limit of life force, anyone can see who’s easier to fight between an enemy with 300 life points and one with 30.
After this wave of curses fell, the Golden Bone Dragons rushed in the front.
The fighting style of Bone Dragons and Ghost Dragons isn’t entirely the same.
Every Bone Dragon has its own fighting style.
Golden Bone Dragons belong to those Bone Dragons whose close combat has been enhanced.
Their bones are a sort of reinforced defense, while also bearing unique evil qi.
This evil qi is somewhat different from the evil qi the Nidans have mastered, but its origin is somewhat similar.
Precisely because they have this evil qi protecting them, the evil qi mastered by the Nidans can’t affect the Bone Dragons.
As the Golden Bone Dragons rushed down, they immediately broke through the Nidans troop’s defenses and continuously tore into the opposing troops.
Every tearing attack by Golden Bone Dragons would take away at least over ten lives from the Nidans troops.
At the same time, it would directly disrupt the battle array of the Nidans troops.
With Golden Bone Dragons opening the way in front, it became quite smooth for the Bone Dragons behind to charge in and kill.
Even if there are over 40,000 enemies here, what does it matter, couldn’t the Bone Dragons directly tear right through them?
These Bone Dragons initially would fly to the sky now and then, but as the battle progressed, those Bone Dragons already knew the enemy’s strength.
So all the Bone Dragons simply stayed on the ground to fight.
They didn’t bother with the enemy’s attacks at all.
As he sent out the Bone Dragons, Gu Xi didn’t just stop paying attention.
After glancing at the battle right in front of him, Gu Xi took out the intel and map he collected and started studying it seriously.
"The direction of enemy retreat is here, so what about the intel further back and at the sides?"
With the support of various intel, Gu Xi’s map is relatively complete.
Under Gu Xi’s command, the map was delivered immediately.
Previously Gu Xi had a suspicion, the 4000 troops placed here by the enemy were the fire star, while the 40,000 looking like they were retreating were bait.
The purpose was to lead Gu Xi’s troops to where they wanted.
This tactic is something Gu Xi can see through at a glance.
The reason he sent Bone Dragons out immediately was that they are a flying team, encountering an issue, they could fly back immediately.
Now, Gu Xi took out the map and sandbox, analyzing where the enemy’s pocket array might be.
If they want to swallow his more than 500,000 troops, either it’s like what Gu Xi previously speculated, lengthen the battle line and cut through the battlefield.
But Gu Xi’s method of placing a city gate every hundred kilometers directly interrupted the opponent’s plan.
With so many city gates placed together, no matter which section has a problem, Gu Xi can quickly mobilize troops to handle it.
Any commander with a brain would immediately realize it can’t be done.
Then they can only take another path.
Set up a pocket array.
Lead Gu Xi’s 500,000 troops to a position most suitable for the Nidans, surround them and attack.
This suitable position should be beneficial to the Nidans and detrimental to Gu Xi.
Finding such a place isn’t that easy.
Gu Xi doesn’t know what the Nidans’ fighting style is like, whether they have any suitable weapons and equipment.
How they would act in large-scale army battles.
How many troops do they have.
Gu Xi knows none of this.
So when considering, Gu Xi could only think from the perspective of the Undead.
What do the Undead fear?
Holy Light?
What a joke, everyone has known since hundreds of years ago, Undead don’t fear the Holy Light anymore.
Then?
Thunder?
A thought flashed in Gu Xi’s mind.
The Nidans use Earth Vein and Fate.
Then their thought process should lean towards an Eastern route.
Among Eastern Undead, they don’t fear Holy Light but the omnipresent Thunder.
Once upon a time, Li Yufang with such strong power, had to seek help from Gu Xi to face Thunder Tribulation.
If the enemy of Gu Xi has any means to summon thunder, then place Gu Xi’s Undead troops in some valley.
Use thunder to cleanse the area, it really might inflict huge damage to Gu Xi’s Undead troops.
With this thought in mind, Gu Xi searched again on the map and sandbox.
Soon, Gu Xi’s eyes fell on a location.
It is a valley surrounded by mountains on all sides.
If that’s all, Gu Xi wouldn’t have fixated here.
Gu Xi noticed this location was closer to where the retreating 40,000 troops were headed.
If that retreating troop was attacked and wanted to escape, accidentally going the wrong way and fleeing here would make sense too.
Putting his finger on this location, without any hesitation, Gu Xi decisively ordered: "Send another Gargoyle Squad to this place, check if there’s an ambush here, and also check if there’s an iron mine or a large amount of metal mine.
If not, investigate nearby."
