Chapter 187: Arrival of Reinforcements
Reinforcements?
Looking at the swarm brought by the gargoyle, Gu Xi had a thought.
But how did they fly over?
Before Gu Xi could figure out what was happening, the gargoyle, along with the swarm, swooped down on the nearby wights.
Only one gargoyle landed in front of Gu Xi and handed him a letter.
'Comrade Gu, these are my personally trained troops. I can't use them at the core of the undead disaster formation for now, so I'm handing them over to you.
Although there aren't many and their levels aren't high, they should be of some help to you.
I hope you can hold out at the critical point.
Keep fighting! Stay alive!
Liu Kai!'
Seeing this letter, Gu Xi finally understood where the troops brought by the gargoyle came from.
The mage leader couldn't spare any other troops, so the ones that came with the gargoyle were Liu Kai's private troops.
At this moment, Gu Xi heard a voice in his ear.
[You have received 100 Corpse Poison Flies (Level 5, temporarily joined).]
[Corpse Poison Flies (Level 5, temporarily joined): Attack 8, Defense 4, Health 23, Skills: Swarm State, Weakness, Flying Unit.]
Gu Xi was surprised by the new type of troops.
He had heard of undead in a swarm state before but had never really seen them.
The Corpse Poison Flies in front of him were the first he had seen.
Swarm units are relatively small and almost invisible individually with little offensive power, so they are generally counted as groups of about three to five hundred.
As long as one is alive, the swarm unit is not considered dead.
Their effect is similar to the transformation of a vampire into bats.
As long as one survives, with a corpse as a nest and some blood, they can quickly regain their combat strength.
As for the weakness effect, it is the ability of ordinary dragonflies. As a toxic-enhanced version, Corpse Poison Flies naturally have this ability.
Instead, it was the flying unit aspect that showed Gu Xi the difference between flying units.
If ghosts count as flying units, their speed is like walking. The gargoyle's speed is like running, while the Corpse Poison Flies' speed is truly flying.
After being brought to the battlefield, they didn't wait for Gu Xi's orders and immediately flew towards the main troops.
These Corpse Poison Flies quickly overtook the gargoyle, flew over the big pit, and dispersed when they got close to the main troops, stinging the soldiers and flying away.
The weakness effect of the Corpse Poison Flies took immediate effect, and the main wight troops could only exert about 30% of their original combat power.
This gave the ghosts fighting the main wight troops an advantage.
With the wight main troops weakened, the ghosts, whether high-level ones or those newly transformed by the undead disaster formation, immediately attacked the wight main troops.
In the blink of an eye, the wight main troops suffered heavy casualties.
At this moment, Gu Xi felt excited about the arrival of reinforcements.
The previously tight forces suddenly became relaxed.
Gu Xi abandoned the idea of using summoning techniques to replenish his troops and immediately switched to another spell.
"Bone Storm!"
The new Bone Storm hit the wight knight in front of him, along with the skeleton mage's attack.
"Skeleton archers, turn around and deal with the remaining wight knights. Let combat squad 1 deal with the enemy skirmishers. Gargoyle, prepare to strike, target the enemy main forces."
As the Bone Storm was cast, Gu Xi issued orders.
He sent out all the troops he could.
Now, in front of Gu Xi, there were only some troops from combat squad 2 focused on defense and some slow-moving zombies.
At this time, the death incarnate, who had just dragged the wight knight leader into the air, threw the leader like a volleyball into the main troops.
Then the death incarnate turned into black mist and quickly rushed over.
Seeing the death incarnate rush into the main troops, the two-headed wight, who was single-handedly fighting two skeleton leaders, noticed the situation and turned his attention to the death incarnate.
For the two-headed wight, the death incarnate was a worthy challenge.
Fighting the two skeleton leaders was just a waste of his time.
So the two-headed wight turned, wielding his dual swords to throw off the skeleton leaders, then leaped and slashed at the death incarnate.
At this time, the death incarnate had just killed over thirty wight swordsmen and was about to fly up again for another attack when the two-headed wight's swords struck his neck.
With these two swords, the death incarnate felt like his neck was about to be chopped off.
But he immediately contracted his body and flew into the air with the enemy.
The two-headed wight faced this situation without fear and even laughed loudly. In his eyes, he was about to slay this big creature.
Such a large dragon skull would be a great trophy for him.
He planned to inscribe something on it.
So the two-headed wight stepped on the death incarnate's neck, running towards the dragon head.
As for the black mist's minor damage, it was nothing to the two-headed wight.
In his eyes, the death incarnate was just a stage for him to showcase himself.
Slaying a dragon.
That would be a great achievement.
The two-headed wight thought while running towards the death incarnate's head.
The death incarnate felt this little creature running around on him.
But he wasn't afraid. Instead, he rolled in the air, trying to throw off the two-headed wight.
The two-headed wight anticipated this and leaped up to avoid being thrown off.
Then, the two-headed wight raised his dual swords to stab the death incarnate's eyes.
But as he fell, he saw a gray light flash in the death incarnate's eyes.
Dissolving Ray.
The death incarnate's eyes emitted gray rays, hitting the two-headed wight.
The two-headed wight didn't expect this attack and couldn't avoid it, so he swung his swords to block the rays.
But as he swung, the death incarnate lunged forward, hitting the two-headed wight's waist with his tail.
Then the death incarnate fired two more dissolving rays from above.
This time, the dissolving rays easily hit the two-headed wight, who couldn't defend against attacks from above.
Under the dissolving rays' attack, the two-headed wight's body quickly melted.
But the death incarnate thought this wasn't enough and attacked again.
Under the quadruple dissolving rays, only a mechanical head with a clown face and two long swords were left of the two-headed wight, with no body remaining.
