Chapter 260: Chapter 258: Coal Slag Blocking the Road

”Gah gah gah!”

The griffons screeched incessantly in the sky.

Listening to the noise, Gu Xi couldn’t help but look up and ask, ”What are they saying?”

Shaya, by Gu Xi’s side, shook her head.

She wasn’t all-knowing; how could she understand griffon language?

Luckily, at this moment, a Holy Knight said, ”It seems to be saying that a large number of enemies are surrounding us or something.”

”Surrounding us?”

Gu Xi laughed, really thinking that just because he was expelled after clearing a quest, he was weak.

Can anyone just step up and trample him?

”Sir, should we have the troops stop?”

Then the Holy Knight asked again.

”No need to stop, just move forward. I want to see what kind of trash wants to surround me.”

Gu Xi spoke while opening the city gate.

All deployable troops began to march from the gates.

This time, it was naturally Gu Xi’s core troops released; fifteen stone golems were freed, and they immediately saw the griffons in the sky.

So these stone golems immediately flew in front of the griffons, at least reached the same altitude.

Looking at the actions of these stone golems, Gu Xi laughed.

Such stone golems satisfied him greatly.

At least the stone golems were not intimidated by the griffons’ high level and vast numbers.

”Go check the situation.”

With a wave of his hand, Gu Xi sent the stone golems scattering in all directions.

Simultaneously, the Withered who had just stepped out raised her spear staff, starting to run around all the troops. In her wake, faint green light spots always fell.

The soldiers of Britain felt their physical strength recovering rapidly.

”In the upcoming battle, do not stop. I’ll lead the troops to charge and kill continuously, except for Eldest Princess Anna’s remains, I won’t pause to save anyone.”

Hearing Gu Xi’s words, these soldiers glanced at each other.

Yet, they all understood Gu Xi’s choice was right.

If truly surrounded by enemies, breaking through is the best option.

Defending in place would only allow the enemy to concentrate all their forces eventually facing attacks from all quarters.

So these soldiers nodded, indicating they had no issues. Even if the enemy confronted them, they weren’t weaklings; their levels were equally high, capable to join the battle.

Gu Xi chuckled, ”In an undead mage’s squad saying you can fight, isn’t that a joke? Just follow behind.”

As Gu Xi spoke, the stone golems returned, swiftly signaling in front of Gu Xi.

The enemy’s quantity, advance speed, all clarified.

While not as convenient as normal dialogue, it was clearer than the griffons’ screeches.

Shadowy figures, moving like zombies?

Interpreting the stone golem’s description, Gu Xi immediately thought of what Shaya mentioned about coal scum.

”Shaya, weren’t you saying to burn the coal scum? Why does this seem off?”

Shaya didn’t understand the indication of the stone golems, but hearing Gu Xi’s words, she knew things were amiss.

”Even if they wanted to burn, they might not dare to here.”

Listening, Gu Xi didn’t know for sure; if Victoria Tower was here, not daring to burn is possible.

But if everyone in the city turned to coal scum, they must burn after all.

How could they allow nearly ten thousand coal scum to roam here?

So a thought struck Gu Xi’s heart, guessing another possibility.

Someone was smuggling coal scum to this area.

Just like Gu Xi could follow Shaya through the sewers to circumvent the fire zone, those coal scum had support behind them.

No matter how they got here, they shouldn’t have designs on Gu Xi’s squad.

If they stayed away, they could quietly lurk, now jumping out meant courting death.

As Gu Xi sorted through his thoughts, enemies appeared right in front of him.

At this moment, Gu Xi saw over three thousand black silhouettes, swaying one step at a time, heading in his direction.

He raised his hand, ”Arroyo, clear the path.”

On hearing this, Arroyo at the forefront raised his long battleaxe, standing directly ahead.

Behind him followed 15 warriors akin to lancers, and further back were skeleton gunners under the Skeleton Boss’s lead.

Before the black figures surged forward, Arroyo led his troops onward.

Compared to previous combat squad tactics, Arroyo’s lancer approach was more frenzied.

He did not consider linkage; his target was purely attack.

If prior squads treated lancers as machines, lift spear, straight stab, retract, advance, all steps rhythmically.

Arroyo’s lancers were akin to siege engines, retract motion nonexistent, only advance, stab, then advance, stab again.

Retracting was already embedded within advancement.

This attack manner naturally wasn’t easily defended.

So to prevent enemy attacks, these lancers must kill the enemy in one go during attacks.

Arroyo’s troop was more concentrated, thickness distinctly higher than other lancer squads.

Spy those black figures, Arroyo decisively raised his long battleaxe.

”Kill!”

Before the black silhouettes crept before Gu Xi’s squad, Arroyo already led charging forward, diving into the black mass.

The first strike, Arroyo exerted full strength, spearheads repeatedly thrusting forward.

Often, when the leading spears penetrated the enemy, the rear spears already thrust out.

Front skeleton gunners, pushed by the ones behind, had no choice but to advance.

To avoid being squeezed out by rear skeleton gunners, the front ones too must keep moving, or they’d topple under pressure.

Under such circumstances, the front skeleton gunners could only keep accelerating, and accelerate further.

Their acceleration showed in their thrust pace.

Those black figures had never imagined encountering such troop assault.

Under the first wave of impact, black figures crumbled into powder.

Just as Gu Xi’s troops were about to catch up, Gu Xi suddenly noticed: the black powder on the ground showed signs of regrouping.

This situation bemused Gu Xi; he pointed at the ground’s black powder.

”Soul Summoning Skill!”

[Your soul summoning skill failed, you gained 1 point Soul Summoning Skill experience.]

”Secondary Corpse Burst!”

Boom!

[You successfully used Secondary Corpse Burst, gaining 1 point Secondary Corpse Burst experience.]

Afterwards, Gu Xi laughed aloud.

Powder is still a corpse, without a corpse, you can’t resurrect, right?

Then rise!

”Bone Shield, enhance the skeleton gunners, stack them up!”
