Chapter 74: Battle Preparations

"Luna, I need to recover my mana. Take this one and patrol the city."

Gu Xi glanced at the scattered negative energy on the ground and turned to Luna.

At this moment, Shaya had already retrieved the Crushing Staff for Gu Xi.

As he took the staff, Gu Xi couldn't help but utter a sound of surprise.

It seemed that the Crushing Staff had absorbed some of the Death Incarnation's power, resulting in a quality change.

[Crushing Staff +1 (Green, Wooden Stick)]

[Attack: 6-9]

[Equipment Requirement: Strength 3]

[Special: Crush, when attacking an enemy, there is an 85% chance to crush the enemy's bones, armor, or other defensive structures.]

[Description: A wooden stick that can crush anything. Previous battle records show that the stick is the most useful weapon.]

Lifting the Crushing Staff, Gu Xi noticed a small bone dragon's shadow flickering across the staff as he swung it.

It seemed this was the change brought by destroying the Death Incarnation's negative energy cluster earlier.

After swinging the Crushing Staff twice, Gu Xi turned to Shaya.

"Shaya, how are you feeling now?"

"Very good, sir. You saw earlier that I can also use the sap. And I have integrated the effects of the invisibility cloak. My stealth ability has improved by at least three levels."

Gu Xi recalled that when fighting the Death Incarnation's negative energy cluster, Luna used Ice Touch, and Shaya used the sap attack.

It seemed she had learned a lot.

"Alright, with your improved stealth ability, you'll be much safer. You should go to Victoria City first. Watch for my dispatched owls; if there's anything needed, I will contact you through the owls."

"Okay." Shaya responded happily.

At this moment, Luna floated over.

"Sir, the battlefield has been cleaned up. We obtained a total of 3,762 units of negative energy. Also, the dragon bones carried away by the skeleton soldiers scattered automatically when the Death Incarnation died. They have now merged into the skeleton soldiers' bodies and can't be recovered."

"Did you plan to recover those dragon bones?"

"Yes, I heard that burying four or more dragon bones in one place can form a temporary dragon grave. Building a dragon grave there can increase the production of bone dragons."

"Forget it. Bone dragons are still far from us. Let's be patient and take over the dock area first. I need to recover my mana. Upgrade all the skeletons, leaving only the three combat squads intact. Convert the rest into skeleton archers. During the Death Incarnation fight, we had insufficient firepower, and that needs to change."

"Are you planning to take the Death Incarnation to attack the dock area?"

Luna, who had been with Gu Xi for a long time, immediately understood his plan.

"Yes, I found that in Death City, the Death Incarnation seems to persist rather than disappear after the battle, as the description suggests. Plus, the synergy between Death City and the Death Incarnation allows for a residence to be built for the Death Incarnation. I suspect the Death Incarnation can stay permanently in the heart of Death City and might appear on the battlefield through the battle gate when the synergy is activated."
