The Death Knights transformed by these Black Players were all choices Gu Xi made in consideration of Amirka’s efforts.
Unlike the Witch Demons directly transformed by Black Players, the Death Knights transformed by them were extremely unstable.
After all, the Undead Mage is not allowed to recruit Death Knights, and this is something even the game characters cannot change.
Gu Xi needs to send them to several Divine Halls that were built at home for a visit.
Initially, Gu Xi’s plan was to send these more than three hundred Death Knights to three different Divine Halls to transform them once, one hundred more for each type of unit.
No loss for anyone.
But this time, the Red Knights suddenly exploded, reaching a number of more than three thousand, close to four thousand. Seeing Amirka’s helpless expression, Gu Xi couldn’t help but think more.
When Amirka went to act as bait, Gu Xi sent all three hundred Death Knights to the Azure Temple for a round.
Planning to divide them for Amirka to use when she arrived.
Hearing Gu Xi’s arrangement, Amirka was also very happy. She quickly arrived at the Steel City Gate, transferring these Cyan Knights to her command while explaining the situation at Screaming Castle to Gu Xi.
"You mean the castle’s main gate is gone, and only the sewer is passable?
If we want to go inside, we have to go through the sewer?"
Amirka nodded, indicating that was exactly the case.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xi instead laughed.
In the former Sleeping Beauty Castle, not to mention the sewer, there wasn’t even a window. Gu Xi could directly move his own city gate over there.
This current castle just has its door covered by mud, which is a trivial matter.
What Gu Xi is more concerned about right now is other situations inside the castle.
"Then, estimate how many enemies are still inside the Screaming Castle?"
"Currently, it’s still not visible, but there should be several thousand Mud Monsters in the moat.
Even in other aspects, I haven’t noticed any unusual presences, but the number of enemies should be significant. At the very least, I think there should be more forces beneath the castle."
"A large number? Then it’s going to be street combat."
Gu Xi thought for a moment and had an idea in mind.
With a wave of his hand, Amirka, who had just gotten a batch of powerful Cyan Knights, retreated.
At this moment, Gu Xi was not in a hurry to act; he’s still waiting for the situation on Di Mi’s side.
However, Gu Xi didn’t remain idle. He continuously mobilized troops from Yalidu City, moving idle heroes.
Meanwhile, Gu Xi didn’t have these troops waiting in place but instead had them skirting around to the vicinity of Screaming Castle along the path Di Mi traveled.
Gu Xi plans to clear the field now, eliminating all small monsters appearing around Screaming Castle.
After about four more hours, Amirka had already run back and forth at Screaming Castle four or five times.
Each time he would bring back some information about Screaming Castle, although this information wasn’t comprehensive. Each time he brought back news, Gu Xi would actively deploy another unit.
At this moment, Di Mi, who went out for reconnaissance, also rushed back.
Upon seeing Amirka, Di Mi nodded at Amirka.
Then turned to come before Gu Xi.
"Master, I have checked and seen several nearby villages and monster gathering points.
The nearest village is about two hundred miles from Screaming Castle, taking at least two hours to get here. When we attack Screaming Castle, they won’t arrive in time in the short term.
As for the monster gathering points, I have cleared them, and within a hundred miles centered around Screaming Castle, there shouldn’t be any monsters appearing for now."
Hearing this, Gu Xi nodded with satisfaction.
That’s more like it.
Before going into battle, clear the field first, and then talk about capturing the crucial position.
"Alright, since you’re all here, I’ll explain my plan.
The Screaming Castle we’re facing, Amirka has investigated several times before.
We don’t need to worry about the entrance issue. I’ll directly move the city gate over, no need to go through the sewer.
But I also need to handle the sewer direction. In a moment, that hero named Dulu, take the Bone-devouring Mud to handle it.
My requirement is to clear all the Blood-colored Mud and not allow anyone to come out from the sewer.
There’s nothing else on other fronts."
Dulu was a tool man hero accidentally obtained by Gu Xi in the dungeon. Usually, he just leads a team to complete tasks for Gu Xi.
Gu Xi has many such tool man heroes under his command, and they’ve all been called out now.
Upon hearing Gu Xi call his name, Dulu immediately stepped forward.
"Rest assured, Master, I will definitely secure the sewer entrances and exits."
Then Gu Xi turned to Di Mi and Amirka.
"Di Mi, your subordinates are too large in size, not suitable for street combat inside the castle. I need you to come with me to Screaming Castle.
At that time, lead your troops to deal with the enemies on the hill over there at Screaming Castle.
And if there are foreign invasion or attacks, it will also be handled by you.
Amirka, your cavalry cannot enter the Screaming Castle either. At that time, patrol around outside the Screaming Castle, preventing anyone from approaching.
I mean everyone, including player villages. No matter where they’re from, if they send troops over, clear them all for me."
Upon hearing Gu Xi’s orders, Di Mi and Amirka quickly complied.
They both understood that Gu Xi intended to rush into Screaming Castle himself.
There’s no way they could oppose this, and the tasks Gu Xi assigned them are both things they are capable of doing, and relatively important, so at this point they won’t weigh the light and heavy of tasks.
The main thing is obedience.
After assigning the tasks, Gu Xi immediately ordered the departure.
After all, he had been waiting here for a while, and during this time, his troops had already been prepared for battle.
They’d cleared their weapons; some had even eaten the food given to the Undead, temporarily boosting some attributes.
Under Gu Xi’s command, all the soldiers set off quickly towards Screaming Castle along the initially planned route.
Although they charged together, it was orderly.
As they advanced, there was no chaos. Instead, the troops were neatly arranged, with which unit set out first, which unit followed, which unit echoed on the sides, all had been arranged by Gu Xi.
As he dispatched troops, Amirka and Di Mi also moved, leading their forces along both sides of Gu Xi’s troops, heading together towards Screaming Castle.
