"Never mind the Vampire from just now, here are five hundred soldiers, along with a Skeleton Boss and a Zombie Boss; enough resources for the Undead Soldiers to use for ten days.

Shaya, be careful."

Gu Xi handed over the troops that had just come out of Yalidov City to Shaya, giving her one last reminder.

"Don’t worry, my lord, I will handle everything properly."

Shaya confidently said to Gu Xi, then turned around, leading the five hundred Undead Soldiers into the Route 19 bus station.

The soldiers nearby were puzzled watching Gu Xi summon a large number of troops and then send them all away.

They couldn’t quite understand what Gu Xi was trying to do.

At this time, Gu Xi stood straight, holding the Cold Wind Staff, as one Undead Corps after another began to march out from the city gate.

Due to the limited space available in front of the Route 19 station, Gu Xi didn’t release a large number of soldiers; he only summoned five hundred Skeleton Gunners, two hundred Skeleton Two-Handed Swordsmen from the Bone-Slaying Camp, and two hundred Zombie Axe and Shields.

In addition, there were 50 Ghosts and 15 Stone Golems hovering in the sky, and 30 fresh Skeleton Mages following behind Gu Xi.

The remaining troops stayed inside Yalidov City, awaiting Gu Xi’s orders.

Meanwhile, Luna, upon coming out, had clearly instructed Fu Gu that during any battles encountered in Yalidov City, the gathered forces could be deployed, but the number should not exceed half of the unit.

After all, Gu Xi might deploy the troops for combat at any time.

Seeing yet another wave of Undead marching out from behind the gate, the soldiers stationed there were numb, looking at Gu Xi with blank expressions, unsure of what to say.

They hadn’t expected there to be such an Undead Mage within Victoria City.

Gu Xi didn’t communicate with these soldiers. Once all the Undead were lined up, he glanced towards Westminster Cathedral, then looked away.

"The target is over there in the alleys, move out!"

Under Gu Xi’s command, the Undead Army moved in orderly steps, crossing the line of ordinary soldiers and starting to enter the alleys on the streets outside Westminster Cathedral.

These streets and alleys still maintained the situation as it was when the Westminster Cathedral incidents erupted.

Bloodstains were everywhere, and the destruction marks from roots drilling up from the ground remained.

Some houses even collapsed, and no one paid them any attention.

Seeing the situation before him, Gu Xi held a cold expression, "Luna!"

Upon hearing this, Luna understood Gu Xi’s intent, and when Gu Xi opened the Yalidov City gates, she started summoning Skeletons under Level 3 that survived from the avalanche.

Once these Skeletons emerged, they swiftly moved towards the collapsed houses, searching for usable items.

Gu Xi, meanwhile, led the Undead Corps further out, searching for Black Apple Blossoms.

In Gu Xi’s mind, with so many alleys and streets near Westminster Cathedral, if one place failed to yield results, he would explore another; it was unlikely all places had been thoroughly cleared, and some spots must have been overlooked.

As for spending some time searching, Gu Xi was not concerned; for this first exploration of the instance, he had no intention of fighting the Boss. Instead, scouting routes was Gu Xi’s primary choice.

So what if it takes a little longer; Gu Xi had all the time in the world.

Thinking this way, Gu Xi truly managed to sweep through street after street.

Leading the main Undead Corps in orderly ranks, they advanced, sweeping the streets once to ensure no danger remained, after which the cannon fodder Skeletons began moving items, and Gu Xi directed the units to the next street.

This pace was quite fast; before long, Gu Xi had cleared roughly ten nearby streets.

Among the findings were quite a few trivial gray scraps, but nothing truly useful.

Everyone affected by the roots and vines was dragged back to the apple tree, hung there; not a single corpse was found on the ground.

Seeing such a situation, Gu Xi was not in a rush and continued as before, leading the troops into another street.

But just as he entered the street, a white light suddenly shot towards him.

Gu Xi raised his hand, and a Magic Divine Arrow flew out.

As it initially shot out, the Magic Divine Arrow looked like a blue light orb, yet after a meter, it morphed into a blue longsword, and by the third meter, frost had formed over it, now resembling a Frost Flying Sword.

Upon release, the Magic Divine Arrow headed directly towards the white light.

With a boom, the white light and Magic Divine Arrow exploded in mid-air.

Catching this chance, the Skeleton Swordsmen from the Bone-Slaying Camp surged forward, advancing towards the direction from which the white light came.

Meanwhile, Gu Xi, kneeling on the Evil Coffin, saw the direction of the white light; a Holy Knight clad in red silk threads was holding a Two-Handed Heavy Sword.

This Holy Knight’s face was grotesquely twisted, with veins bulging around his eyes, resembling bursting vessels.

As he looked at Gu Xi, he opened his mouth wide, seemingly shouting something, but unable to make any sound.

Gu Xi realized that he seemed to be pleading for Gu Xi to take his life.

Without hesitation, Gu Xi pointed the Cold Wind Staff at the Holy Knight again.

"Magic Divine Arrow!"

Under Gu Xi’s spell, three Magic Divine Arrows flew out.

As Gu Xi attacked, the Holy Knight raised the Two-Handed Heavy Sword in his hand once more.

However, a reluctant expression appeared on his face; he gritted his teeth, trying hard to force his arm down.

With his effort, the Magic Divine Arrows hit him.

The power of Ice froze his muscles, and the damage effect inherent to the Magic Divine Arrows pushed him back several steps.

At this moment, the Skeleton Two-Handed Swordsmen of the Bone-Slaying Camp reached the Holy Knight; they raised their long swords and swung heavily at him.

Facing the descending longsword, instead of dodging, the Holy Knight’s eyes showed a hint of relief. He extended his head, exposing his neck, decisively revealing his vital spot to the Skeleton Two-Handed Swordsmen.

The Skeleton Two-Handed Swordsman had no idea what it had encountered.

Instinctively, it proceeded with the slashing kill.

But nothing could deter the Holy Knight’s will to die; after the sword stroke, the Holy Knight’s head was lopped off.

As the head fell, a smile appeared on the Holy Knight’s face.
