Nicki discovered something was wrong over there, and Gu Xi naturally sensed it too.
The first to notice something amiss was, of course, the White Bone Obelisk.
From the very beginning, the White Bone Obelisk’s Equipment Carrier had been suppressing Gu Xi’s fate, preventing him from being affected by the evil qi.
It can be said that regarding the influence of the changes in the evil qi, the White Bone Obelisk is the most sensitive.
So when it noticed something was wrong, the White Bone Obelisk immediately alerted Gu Xi.
Gu Xi hesitated and looked in that direction.
According to the White Bone Obelisk’s judgment, it was like a balloon inflated with air being pricked by a needle.
Although it was just a small flaw, it ruined the enemy’s entire strategy.
Facing the information transmitted by the White Bone Obelisk, Gu Xi was silent for a moment.
He immediately reached a judgment.
This was an opportunity.
Gu Xi was now facing a smart Nidan general.
The most important thing was that Gu Xi did not know what formation the opponent was arranging.
At the start, he felt as if he was walking on a spider’s web.
No matter which way he went, he would be watched by the enemy.
It can be said that he fought this battle with considerable difficulty.
After all, he was an Undead Mage, not a general specialized in commanding grand battles.
Without adequate intelligence support, Gu Xi had no way to guess the enemy’s arrangements and methods.
He could only strive to adjust everything based on some information he discovered.
But in terms of intelligence, Gu Xi was inherently at a disadvantage.
This is also why Gu Xi seemed to be led around by the enemy in this battle.
Gu Xi had already planned to use his army to launch a crushing attack on the enemy.
He refused to believe that the enemy could gather more troops here.
After all, Gu Xi had seen earlier that they buried all the life they could find underground, using it as a source of evil qi.
It was finally disrupted by Gu Xi unintentionally.
Gu Xi could believe that the enemy’s forces could not possibly deploy five hundred thousand troops like he could.
If they could muster one to two hundred thousand troops, it would already be considerable.
Therefore, Gu Xi’s initial goal was to move forward relentlessly, not giving up his strategy regardless of how the enemy tried to distract him, nor following the enemy’s pace.
The enemy sets their traps, and Gu Xi strikes with his own plan.
But now, with this sudden tip from the White Bone Obelisk.
This gave Gu Xi hope of breaking the deadlock.
Gu Xi turned to look in the direction indicated by the White Bone Obelisk.
That position was not on Gu Xi’s main forward path.
Going there would certainly deviate Gu Xi from his objective.
Even though he could eventually loop back, it would require time.
Gu Xi hadn’t forgotten his mission.
With time being a factor, Gu Xi had to be cautious and more cautious.
However, Gu Xi glanced again at the direction the White Bone Obelisk had shown.
This was the first flaw he had spotted since encountering that enemy.
Gu Xi could guess that the other side had noticed this as well.
If they were allowed to patch up that flaw.
The upcoming battle would revert to being dragged out as before, led by the enemy.
Gu Xi had no desire for the final battle to end up like that.
After a brief thought, Gu Xi lifted his head and once again aimed at the position indicated by the White Bone Obelisk.
"The entire army, shift direction, advance toward this location, and have the fast-moving units seize the position."
After issuing the order, Gu Xi felt a bit of regret.
He should never have let Amirka participate in the instance at the start.
If Amirka were still here, he could have handled this task.
Now Gu Xi could only find a hero to go along with the White Robed Iron Cavalry.
Just then, at a nearby city gate, Di Mi and Jamie completed their handover and brought their units here.
"You’re just in time, Jamie. I’m entrusting all the White Robed Iron Cavalry to you now, advance in this direction. I need you to break through in the shortest time possible.
Regardless of the enemy you encounter, annihilate them all."
Jamie immediately knew how crucial this mission was, and he didn’t even consider rejecting it but readily agreed.
Without any delay, he led his units and the White Robed Iron Cavalry that Gu Xi just transferred to him towards the direction indicated by the White Bone Obelisk.
Although Jamie’s speed was not as quick as Amirka’s pure cavalry units.
His talent allowed his subordinates to increase their speed.
This was the reason Gu Xi chose him.
After Jamie promptly departed with his forces, Gu Xi turned to look at Di Mi.
"Di Mi, you came just in time.
I was worried about the battle before.
Now that you are here, I can entrust the matters into your hands.
Come over here."
Gu Xi beckoned Di Mi over.
Di Mi swiftly stood before Gu Xi, who placed the map and the sand table before him.
"Di Mi, our objective this time is to advance from this position right through to the other side.
However, there’s a formidable opponent on the other side.
I’m leaving you with three hundred thousand troops; you proceed step by step according to my previous pace.
Do not be swayed by enemy temptations, proceed without haste.
We have plenty of time."
Di Mi, having served under Gu Xi, was battle-hardened.
Even though Gu Xi’s instructions weren’t too clear, the Lord of Three Lions still remained, and she was always by Gu Xi’s side, understanding his strategy.
So this task wasn’t too difficult.
It wasn’t as tough as the battle against Yalidu City.
There, Di Mi had indeed suffered great losses.
Now Di Mi had developed her own fighting style, acting with much more caution than before.
She could clearly grasp Gu Xi’s intentions.
"Rest assured, my lord, I’ll handle the battle here well."
Gu Xi glanced at Di Mi and swiftly divided the forces, designating three hundred thousand of the main troops, already led by Bosses within the city, to Di Mi.
As for the remaining two hundred thousand undead that had just emerged from Ghost Gate openings and those not yet organized within the city without an Undead Boss’s lead, all were redirected under Gu Xi’s command towards the direction Jamie initially set off to.
Although Gu Xi led mere rabble, he wasn’t without any preparations.
More than ten thousand Undead Titans, along with Gu Xi’s core Undead Transformation Combat Squad, all followed at Gu Xi’s side.
Also accompanying were forces like the Withered and Evil Bone Locust, always beside Gu Xi.
Before leaving, Gu Xi deployed several more Ghost Gate openings and even set down a newly established city gate.
This was to leave Di Mi with the last base.
No matter what issues arose, they could retreat and defend here, avoiding a total defeat.
After clarifying all this, Gu Xi finally led his troops to follow Jamie.
