Chapter 212: New Building - Barracks
"Luna, handle the Blood Pit area here, everything that should connect with the Hundred-Armed Cemetery, treat this as the outer perimeter of the Hundred-Armed Cemetery."
Watching Shaya directing the Blood Lords to move, Gu Xi hesitated for a moment, and finally gave Luna an order.
Hearing this command, Luna also glanced at Shaya.
She understood that Gu Xi's order meant that the vampires produced in the Blood Pit area would mainly be allocated to Dimmy in the Hundred-Armed Cemetery.
At this moment, Luna had a question.
Can Dimmy handle it?
"Let's arrange it this way first. The Blood Garden and Blood Pool are preconditions for building the Haunted House. Now we just need the level 3 Alchemy Laboratory. Let's see if we can cut the line to build the Alchemy Laboratory first."
Luna could answer this question.
"Master, cutting the line to build the Alchemy Laboratory first is no problem, but to upgrade the Alchemy Laboratory to level 3, we need to meet the standards. We don't even have a level 1 Alchemy Laboratory right now, cutting the line is useless."
Listening to this, Gu Xi could only sigh in the end, "Even if we need to meet the standards, we must at least have a level 1 Alchemy Laboratory first, let's do it."
"Yes, Master."
Seeing Gu Xi so insistent, Luna didn't say anything more.
After all, the Alchemy Laboratory was already in the queue, just moving its construction time forward a bit.
As they discussed this matter, they left the Blood Pit area, and Gu Xi still had many things to handle.
Before the battle at the Undead Scourge Formation began, Gu Xi had already been building two core structures.
The Barracks and the Magic Tower.
Later, Gu Xi sent back ten building design blueprints, but at that time he asked Luna to prioritize the city gates and moat.
Because of the Victoria City incident, Gu Xi never checked the construction progress. He only knew that by the end of the battle at the Undead Scourge Formation, the city gates hadn't been completed.
As for when he returned, his mind was on Luna's absence, so he didn't notice if a new city gate had been built in Aridowei.
Now that Luna had returned and the direction of Victoria City had been decided, Gu Xi planned to see the changes in Aridowei during this time.
Luna and Shaya, they all knew Gu Xi's thoughts, and they followed him when he got on the Evil Coffin.
Luna wanted to stay behind Gu Xi to handle any needs he might have immediately.
Shaya saw herself as Gu Xi's bodyguard, following behind to protect him.
As for Dimmy, she simply wanted to watch the fun.
The three of them, as before, quickly followed behind the Evil Coffin, unable to shake them off no matter how fast it went.
Soon, they returned to the original city district of Aridowei.
At this time, Luna flew to the front of Gu Xi to lead the way.
They turned a corner and arrived at the position where Gu Xi and his team had entered the city district from Aridowei Tower.
Here, a new building had already appeared among the houses.
This building was quite abrupt, as its style and area were different from the surrounding houses.
The building, made of blue stone slabs, looked four stories high from the outside, about the size of a football field.
In front of the tall gate stood two skeleton soldiers holding long spears.
Gu Xi's battle flag fluttered atop this building.
This building was one of the most important core structures, the Barracks.
The Barracks served the purposes of recruiting and dispatching troops.
At the same time, organizing units, and sending leaders and warriors out on missions couldn't be done without the Barracks.
It's said that without the Barracks, the combat effectiveness of the city's troops would be halved.
Jumping off the Evil Coffin at the gate, Gu Xi strode towards the Barracks.
Before he could say anything, the two skeleton soldiers guarding the Barracks opened the gate for him.
Then, a heavily armored zombie with a scar on his face walked out of the Barracks.
Seeing Gu Xi, he said sternly, "Fu Gu greets the Master."
[Building Name: Barracks

[Description: Fu Gu's level is equivalent to the Barracks level, but he has strong combat power. If there are no heroes or leader-level existences in the city and an invasion occurs, Fu Gu will command the defense battle.]
"Very good, I want to see inside the Barracks."
"This way, Master."
Fu Gu didn't ask what Gu Xi wanted to see, just made way.
Entering the Barracks, Gu Xi saw walls filled with weapons and equipment, noticing that these included weapons for the initial assassin-type skeleton soldiers and the already decimated spear skeleton soldiers.
It seems this recorded all the undead troops Gu Xi had encountered since becoming a Necromancer.
In the center of the Barracks was a square table, with a sandbox of Aridowei and the surrounding area on it.
The sandbox had many small flags of different colors representing Gu Xi's stationed troops.
Among these small flags, only the flag representing the Bone-Slaying Battalion was the most conspicuous, while the others were small and had no symbols.
"Master, there are currently eleven different undead leaders in the city. Do you need to reorganize the troops?"
Eleven?
Gu Xi was stunned for a moment.
Besides Dimmy, who had leader potential, the other undead leaders had no names, and Gu Xi hadn't paid much attention, just calling them undead leaders, not knowing that the number had reached eleven.
Thinking about it, there were two in the Bone-Slaying Battalion, one skeleton leader, one skeleton mage leader, one skeleton archer leader in the combat squad, and the six new leaders who just joined.
Isn't that eleven?
It seems Fu Gu had figured out the number of skeleton leaders under Gu Xi's command.
"Forget it, no need to reorganize. Let all the undead leaders lead their full undead units, and you organize the rest of the undead."
