Chapter 1176 - 1174: On the Road Again

Chapter 1176: Chapter 1174: On the Road Again

"...Well, alright!"

The woman paused for a moment, then finally responded, "Thank you."

Gu Xi nodded; it was on the way, so taking an extra person wouldn’t be an issue.

Moreover, Gu Xi was somewhat curious about this squad.

The squad clearly had a human knight vibe, but for some reason, it felt oddly gloomy.

Gu Xi also noticed something: Kro apparently didn’t recognize this squad.

That means they weren’t from the nearby three Human Realms.

They must have come from a farther place.

Gu Xi was curious for a moment, wondering what could attract their attention over in the Beite Alliance, causing them to travel so far just to request a resurrection.

While Gu Xi was still pondering the next steps, the woman spoke up.

"Are the two of you dining? We have some nice food. Would you like to join us?"

"No..."

Before Gu Xi could finish speaking, Kro quickly interjected, "Sure, thank you! By the way, I’m Kro, an archeologist. Are you friends from a Human Realm in the Underworld?

I visited the underground before. The crab meat patties were delicious.

They never told me where the crab meat comes from despite having no water."

Hearing Kro’s words, the woman wanted to smile but noticed Kro’s expression change, looking as if he was about to vomit.

"What’s wrong?"

Gu Xi thought something might be wrong with Kro.

Unexpectedly, Kro said with a pale face.

"Crab meat is spider meat."

"Oh, that’s a good idea. Looks like I can add a new food source in my city."

Gu Xi didn’t mind eating something peculiar. In Gu Xi’s view, as long as it’s not cilantro, it’s fine.

After all, he’s even tried rat soup; spiders are just unexpected, but not something he’s afraid to eat.

With Gu Xi’s words, Kro’s complexion improved.’

"I forgot you’re an Undead Mage. In your eyes, there’s really no issue."

As Kro spoke, the special mirror on Gu Xi’s left hand flickered slightly.

Gu Xi knew it was Luna reminding him there was something needing contact.

At this point, Gu Xi didn’t say much more, and with a wave of his hand, the last city gate was collected, while black smoke was emitted from under the Holy Silver Evil Coffin.

"It’s getting late; we should get going. By the way, does your squad need to camp and rest?"

"No need, we can advance through the dark passage, our troops won’t consume much physical strength."

The woman spoke as she raised her head.

It was evident she believed her troops could travel in darkness, which was quite remarkable.

Kro, behind her, chuckled softly and whispered to Gu Xi.

"They borrowed the power of Darkness, but can’t travel too long or far in it. They need to rest after sections, or they risk assimilation by the Darkness."

"How do you know?"

"Passive mind-reading; I can hear whatever she’s thinking."

Kro shrugged, somewhat helplessly.

Watching Gu Xi and Kro exchange whispers, the woman felt they were talking about her.

Yet when she tried to listen, she heard nothing.

In the end, Gu Xi said, "You don’t need rest, then let’s hit the road together."

Hearing that, Kro rolled his eyes.

The woman, however, showed no reaction and simply replied, "Alright, let’s go together."

Kro rolled his eyes even more.

He seemed intent on using up all the eye-rolls for the year.

Fortunately, the woman wasn’t really paying attention.

She said to Gu Xi, "Later on, we’ll fast-travel in the dark; if you can’t keep up, we’ll take our first rest at Green Forest Dao.

But we’ll only wait for you once; if you truly can’t keep up, then we’ll meet in Beite Alliance."

Gu Xi wanted to say more,

but ultimately remained silent, bringing Kro along as he jumped into the Holy Silver Evil Coffin.

The Holy Silver Evil Coffin led the way, bypassing the besieged Rocovarlon.

Once they bypassed that stretch, the Holy Silver Evil Coffin leaped into darkness, its speed increasing rapidly.

The sudden situation startled the woman.

She never expected Gu Xi could move in darkness, let alone at such speed.

Recalling her previous words, she felt her own face stung.

But at that moment, Gu Xi had no time to care about that.

Entering Darkness, Gu Xi immediately activated the special mirror, linking with Luna.

"Master."

Upon seeing Gu Xi connect, Luna promptly explained their recent gains.

The battle outside Rocovarlon was concluded.

Sixty-nine thousand three hundred enemies were killed.

Seeing this number, Gu Xi’s first reaction was disbelief at such a huge count.

But the number wasn’t derived from the corpses transported back.

It was from the increased undead count in Yalidov City.

Thus, Gu Xi understood the number was not erroneous.

The three thousand-some enemies witnessed on the battlefield were likely just the visible troops, supported by a few more waves of human reinforcement.

Gu Xi hadn’t focused on that and missed noticing how they replenished forces.

Among the fallen human troops, apart from some griffins transformed into Bone Griffins, all others were turned into regular undead.

This trait was common.

After all, humans paired best with undead.

No unique choices during the transformation.

At most, human crossbowmen became skeleton shooters, and human priests became corpse witches.

Other situations based on the corpses: intact ones became zombies, damaged ones skeleton soldiers, and non-existent ones ghosts.

As for vampires, specialized conversion is needed.

Double Death doesn’t handle such details.

There weren’t any vampire options here.

But there were several knight corps among the humans.

These knights were far superior to the Beastman Cavalry.

Gu Xi’s three types of knights, they could all be transformed.

Seeing the data, Gu Xi immediately contacted Eldest Princess Anna.

"This batch of undead converted from human knights, send them entirely to the Azure Temple for Cyan Knight training, then supplement the Aurora Knight Order.

As for the human knights’ bodies, send them entirely to the Scarlet Temple to train into Red Knights."

Aside from that, nothing better came from the humans’ conversion results.
