Gu Xi’s final caution was correct.

At the end of the battle, the beastmen organized another counterattack.

If Gu Xi hadn’t dispatched the Conversion Undead Combat Squad to the battlefield immediately, the beastmen might have had a chance to turn the tide.

During this battle, Gu Xi noticed that the beastmen clearly focused more on their own combat power.

For the beastman heroes in the rear command, they were indifferent.

Instead, if a beastman suddenly burst out with combat power nearby, they would gather towards that area, potentially creating a small frenzy.

However, they faced limitations in terms of level caps.

On the other hand, Gu Xi’s troops kept increasing.

Even if the beastmen gathered, they couldn’t face attacks from all directions.

Before the beastmen could carve a bloody path, they were suppressed and killed by the Undead.

This cleanup took more than an hour before the battle finally ended.

In this battle, a total of over 46,000 beastmen troops died.

While Gu Xi’s Undead lost over 20,000.

A two-to-one loss ratio is considered quite significant for Gu Xi.

Because, excluding the initial batch of Skeleton Soldiers summoned by Gu Xi, all other fallen Undead were from the regular troops of Yalidu City.

Given their level and troop advantage over the beastmen, the fact they were battered like this shows the beastmen’s strength.

Especially during the final chaos, the beastmen adopted an extreme one-for-one fighting style, determined to kill an Undead no matter what.

Under such circumstances, the beastmen achieving this loss ratio showed some skill.

However, Gu Xi was not dissatisfied because of the loss of over 20,000 Undead.

The death of over 46,000 beastmen meant Yalidu City would gain over 46,000 new Undead.

Moreover, the corpses here could still be summoned.

In comparison, the loss naturally became smaller, perhaps even a slight gain, so Gu Xi wasn’t displeased.

After obtaining detailed data from this battle, Gu Xi waved his hand.

"Sweep the battlefield, drag all the corpses back first. I’ll perform the summoning later."

Under Gu Xi’s command, a mass of White Impermanence appeared on the battlefield.

They quickly cleaned up everything on the battlefield, sending all visible items to Yalidu City.

At this time, Kro couldn’t help but ask, "Aren’t you summoning on-site? You seemed adept at summoning during the battle."

"This is a major battle; summoning on-site consumes a large amount of mana.

Besides, it can’t be done all at once."

Gu Xi explained the situation, "I need to replenish my mana at least ten times to complete the summoning of nearly 50,000 people.

You might not know how awful those magic potions made in my city taste.

Replenishing my mana with magic potions ten times feels unbearable.

We need to travel later; I don’t want to pass out at this time."

Listening to Gu Xi’s words, Kro understood Gu Xi’s concerns.

However, he was still curious and asked.

"Have you experienced the backlash that comes from exhausting your mana repeatedly?"

"I have, once I almost couldn’t hold on.

No, why do you call this status a backlash?

Do you know something?"

"I know a bit; I’ve experienced it too.

After that time, my perception ability was slightly enhanced, and my spells became more spiritual.

Later, I asked some people and found out it’s called mana backlash.

If you withstand it, there are great gains, but if you don’t, your mana will decrease by a third directly.

So many know this method, but they’re unwilling to try it.

You’ve succeeded once; it’s already remarkable."

"The spell became spiritual? I don’t feel that way."

"Maybe everyone develops differently, but mana backlash brings benefits; you shouldn’t doubt this."

Because of the common topic, the two chatted on the battlefield.

Gu Xi’s Ghost Squad acted swiftly.

They only took half an hour to transfer everything from the battlefield to Yalidu City.

Even the blood-stained soil was completely dug away.

Seeing the situation, Kro was speechless.

"Brother Gu, aren’t you being a bit excessive?"

"It’s their habit."

At the moment, Gu Xi was holding the list just cleared, responding to Kro while browsing this time’s loot.

Among this clean-up, the most intriguing to Gu Xi were six pieces of purple weapon equipment.

Including the humanoid golden hammer from the beastman chieftain, a magic staff strung with skulls, a war axe entirely made of metal, a spear, a throwing net, and a whistle.

A heroic-level beastman corpse, six pieces, and one leader-level beastman corpse; besides, the beastman chieftain and elder seemed peculiar, not considered leader-level, but clearly not weaker.

A bone carriage, pulled by a Tyrannosaurus, though dead, the carriage remained.

Despite the impact from Amirka, the carriage wasn’t destroyed, just overturned; if upturned, it can still be used.

Additionally, Gu Xi obtained over sixty heroic-level beastman corpses.

Regarding boss, warrior, and elite-level corpses, weapons, and equipment below blue quality, there were many more.

These weren’t even tallied or recorded, left for Eldest Princess Anna at Yalidu City to handle.

Besides, Gu Xi discovered a significant amount of food.

These were rare goods Yalidu City couldn’t produce.

Among this food, most were pigs and chickens, all piled about two thousand meters from the battlefield.

There was also plenty of firewood and pots; from the looks of the food, this was likely beastman’s supply on their journey.

After all, beastmen are human, whether marching or fighting, they need food.

This food could sustain over forty thousand beastmen for three to five days.

From this, their range of origin could be calculated.

Yet, Gu Xi had no intent to pursue the beastmen.

He only ordered the food transported back to Yalidu City and instructed it be sent to Maze Demon City.

No further attention was given to remaining matters.

After tidying the battlefield, Gu Xi ascended the Holy Silver Evil Coffin, resuming travel, and as the coffin got back on track, he considered the distribution of the newly acquired purple armor.
