Chapter 1308: Chapter 1306: Irrational Tactics

"It’s started?

Where is it?

I’ll go take a look."

Upon hearing the appearance of enemies, Gu Xi immediately got excited.

After all, having traveled all this way without encountering any enemies was somewhat frustrating for Gu Xi.

Now that the enemies have revealed themselves, Gu Xi certainly wouldn’t let them go.

He gathered his things, leaped onto the Holy Silver Evil Coffin, and headed towards the battle ahead.

As the Holy Silver Evil Coffin charged forward, Gu Xi suddenly noticed something.

In the main seat of the Holy Silver Evil Coffin, there was unexpectedly a food box.

What is going on here? Could it be that Lingxi just came by?

Gu Xi estimated the time and found that it had been about four hours since he last ate.

It was clear that Lingxi had prepared the food for him at a regular interval.

Although Lingxi didn’t personally come over to watch Gu Xi eat, the act of bringing food over was already enough for him.

Gu Xi opened the food box and glanced inside.

This time, it was noodles, a bowl larger than Gu Xi’s head filled with a large serving of noodle soup.

Various garnishes were laid out on the noodle soup.

Among them were at least seven egg-like sunny-side-up eggs.

Additionally, there were fist-sized chunks of beef, minced mushrooms, abalone, sea cucumber cubes, etc.

In terms of color, aroma, and taste, this large bowl of noodles reached the highest level.

Upon seeing this bowl of noodles, Gu Xi also smiled.

He understood Lingxi’s intention.

In a battlefield situation like this, noodles were the most convenient hot meal.

Gu Xi held up the bowl and began to eat with big bites.

Within the noodle soup, Gu Xi could still taste the flavor of seafood soup.

It seemed Lingxi had some expertise in making seafood soup.

As Gu Xi was almost done eating, the Holy Silver Evil Coffin had also arrived at the forefront of the Undead Corps.

At this moment, Gu Xi also noticed the grand battle mentioned by the Stone Golem.

Alright, this was indeed a grand battle.

For at least ten thousand people were involved in this fight.

Moreover, it was Gu Xi’s first time seeing the Nidan troops.

Unlike human troops, the Nidan troops didn’t look like proper entities.

Their bodies resembled humans, but their faces and skin didn’t.

The troops at the front had skin full of blisters, looking as if humans were forcefully turned into frogs but not completely transformed.

The ones at the back looked like wax figures melting into human shapes, resembling humans but looking unreal.

Further back, there were troops resembling mixtures of mud and Mud Monsters, occupying humanoid shapes but definitely not human.

What kind of troops were these?

After arriving, Gu Xi couldn’t help but mutter.

Actually, Gu Xi didn’t know that the three types of troops before him were traditional troop types from the Nidan side.

The Nidans are considered a relatively niche race.

They weren’t meant to become players initially.

It was just that some powerful figures led them, and through playing with luck, by accumulating and seizing the luck from other players’ races, they reached this stage.

However, their population isn’t high, they don’t have exclusive troop types, and their birth rate isn’t high either.

To give themselves some special troops, they developed methods to transform humans using their abilities.

This method is somewhat similar to the relationship between the Undead Corps and human troops.

Of course, Gu Xi’s side acquired Undead from corpses.

But the Nidans, to acquire the troops they wanted, directly transformed living humans.

The frog-like humans were cultivated by raising tadpoles with Evil Qi and feeding them into the human stomach.

Once the tadpoles transform into frogs, humans become like this.

Not only do they obey the Nidans’ command, but they also have abilities to control Evil Qi in battle and engage in underwater combat.

The melted-wax humans were made by mixing Evil Qi with wax and coating it onto the human body to create wax human figures.

As for things resembling Mud Monsters, they were humans buried as stakes and nurtured with Evil Qi.

These three types in the Nidan side are equivalent in position to Skeleton Soldiers, Zombies, and Ghosts in the Undead side.

They reflect the Nidan’s concept about troop types.

Just like the Undead Mage, the three basic troop types represent the three directions of bone, flesh, and spirit.

The three basic Nidan troop types represent internal to external, external to internal, and the abandonment of the human body in three directions.

It could be said that Gu Xi encountered the formal troops of the Nidans.

However, their numbers weren’t large; they brought four groups of a thousand each.

Inside the troop, there didn’t seem to be any Heroes, just the Boss commanding the battle.

Based on Gu Xi’s habit, his Undead Corps always fought outnumbered battles.

When the enemy deployed four groups of a thousand, Gu Xi deployed twelve thousand-troop groups in total.

Eight engaged directly, and four held the line behind.

The main strategy was overwhelming numbers.

Thus, when Gu Xi arrived, the situation on the battlefield was naturally a battle of over ten thousand people.

This kind of fight was much better than finding nothing.

Four thousand troops, for Gu Xi, was a good start.

"Kill them, and surround the subsequent troops. Stone Golem, investigate the surroundings to see if there are other ambushes and find where these enemies came from."

Upon Gu Xi’s command, the following troops that came with him also quickly took action.

This battlefield of ten thousand, they naturally wouldn’t participate in, but they didn’t merely bypass it.

Instead, they left some Undead Corps nearby to watch, primarily to prevent any enemy from escaping.

Regarding his Undead’s attitude, Gu Xi didn’t know what to say.

He could only urge them from behind to leave quickly.

Such small-scale battles were not worth observing.

At this moment, a new batch of Stone Golems sent to scout the enemy returned.

They brought the latest news.

Gu Xi received the Stone Golems.

Reading the report from the Stone Golems, a thoughtful expression appeared in Gu Xi’s eyes.

It’s unreasonable.

The situation with the enemy is unreasonable.

The Stone Golems reported that three hundred kilometers away, a Nidan legion of at least legion level was retreating.

Judging by the enemy’s position, this four-thousand Nidan troop was left behind to stall Gu Xi’s main forces.

But this was precisely the part that seemed unreasonable to Gu Xi.

Because the so-called Nidan main force actually didn’t have many men.

According to the Stone Golems’ assessment, the enemy had at most fewer than forty thousand men.

Leaving one-tenth to stall an opponent, sacrificing to survive, seemed reasonable, yet Gu Xi felt something was off.

He thought seriously, and a sudden thought flashed in his eyes.
