Chapter 182: Full-scale Attack on the Undead Scourge
Boom!
When the pirate ship reached its highest point, it exploded in the sky.
This explosion caught Gu Xi off guard.
He reacted only after hearing the explosion, immediately squatting down with his head covered.
During the explosion, numerous corpses of clown pirates fell from the sky, along with some large pieces that weren't blown apart.
Especially the giant keel and the arms that could swing the pirate ship, all crashed heavily to the ground.
This heavy crash brought disaster to Gu Xi's undead troops.
Despite having nothing to do with them, the falling debris directly took out a wave of undead.
This made Gu Xi, whose forces were already insufficient, lose even more troops.
Luckily, Gu Xi himself was unharmed, and his main gate wasn't damaged.
If there had been any problem with the gate, the situation would have been even worse.
The reason Gu Xi's City of Death could deploy troops at any time was because he could place the gate on the battlefield.
Without the gate, having an army would be useless for Gu Xi.
"Looks like I'll need to build another gate when I get back."
Gu Xi said this as he stood at the forefront of the gatehouse, directing the battle below.
At this moment, Gu Xi noticed that his connection to the core of the Undead Scourge Array had been cut off.
The falling corpses were also influenced by negative energy, starting to turn into new undead.
However, the number was clearly less, and the transformation process was stuttering.
The undead killed by the pirate ship hadn't been replenished immediately.
Gu Xi understood that he might have to face the wights' attack alone this time.
Fortunately, Gu Xi hadn't relied too much on the Undead Scourge Array before.
He just worriedly looked in the direction of the array, wondering about the situation at the other nodes.
In fact, the situation at the other nodes of the Undead Scourge Ritual Array was quite bad.
They were facing similar circumstances as Gu Xi.
Balloons invaded simultaneously, releasing large amounts of dust and confetti, disrupting the connection and support of the Undead Scourge Array to these nodes.
Meanwhile, various eerie amusement park rides forcibly squeezed into these nodes.
There were constantly spinning merry-go-rounds with clown-faced knights riding them.
There were roller coasters suddenly bursting out from elsewhere, cutting through crowds, taking the lives of many undead soldiers each time.
There were also huge Ferris wheels like blades, seeming to want to cut everyone apart.
...
The appearance of each amusement ride was quite rational, yet filled with eeriness.
Almost at the same time, the entire Undead Scourge Array turned into a bizarre amusement park.
This was the result after the Mage Leader had already discovered the array's foundation being affected and had dealt with it.
If he hadn't, the Undead Scourge Array might have been completely taken over by now.
Currently, the Mage Leader's power could only control the core of the Undead Scourge Array. He couldn't help with the hundred battle nodes in front, not even to send a batch of undead troops.
Now he could only protect the remaining players and use their power to hold the last line.
As long as the wights inside the world were cleared out, the invading wight army would lose this world's coordinates and be repelled by the world's power.
Then they might have a slim chance of winning.
As for the players at the outer nodes, the Mage Leader could only pray for their safety.
However, the Mage Leader didn't expect that Gu Xi had already dealt with the invading amusement rides and still had the mind to consider the safety of others.
At the same time, Gu Xi had retracted his gaze, clearly hearing a mad laughter from afar.
Along with the laughter, a large crowd of wights was pressing forward.
It was obvious that the third wave of wight attacks had begun.
But Gu Xi was not concerned with this; he noticed something rising from the ground in the distance.
That was what Gu Xi was worried about.
He had a feeling that whatever was rising from the ground was the key to this wight attack.
Looking down at the troops below the gate, Gu Xi gritted his teeth, "Gargoyles."
Following Gu Xi's command, fifteen gargoyles quickly flew in front of him.
"Do you see that light column over there? Fly there now and deliver this message for me. Ask if we can get any support here. If so, it must arrive within three hours.
Otherwise, I may not hold out."
As Gu Xi spoke, he wrote a letter.
At the same time, Gu Xi began packing some weapons and equipment into the [Damaged Bag].
Gu Xi had already decided that if no support came, he might have to take up a shield and act as a tank at the last moment.
Then, the purple ghost mask and the eerie fairy hand would be his last means of survival.
Now he had to place his equipment in the most accessible position, to avoid not being able to retrieve it when needed.
After packing everything, the wight army had also approached Gu Xi's position.
With the enemy's approach, Gu Xi saw clearly what was rising from the ground.
Seeing that thing, Gu Xi first wondered if he had really met his match.
Behind the wight army, a massive castle was emerging.
From Gu Xi's estimation, the castle was about the size of Aridowei Tower.
If it were just in place, Gu Xi would think it was the entrance for wight reinforcements.
But this castle was moving forward.
Though its movement didn't cause earthquake-like reactions, its speed wasn't slow. Gu Xi even felt that if not for the wights ahead moving slowly, the castle might have already reached him.
Wait?
A thought flashed through Gu Xi's mind.
The wights ahead were moving slowly?
Gu Xi looked down at his city gate.
He had only one City of Death, which he could use to deploy troops.
Such a large castle could move and not transport troops?
It didn't make sense.
Thinking this, Gu Xi looked more carefully at the castle and noticed more problems. The castle looked somewhat distorted. The highest towers clearly had people patrolling, but for some reason, they would disappear from certain angles.
"Illusions? Magic?"
