Chapter 90: Powerful Undead Troops

"Okay, come over here."

Hearing that Gu Xi was willing to take over this matter, the necromancer finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As a middle-ranking member of the Sunshine Glory Guild, he was well aware of what had happened in world number ULYUHDDS04CC80.

The main problem was the three fortresses responsible for suppressing the world's dangerous areas. They had failed to contain the threats, resulting in chaos with ghosts and undead, akin to a night parade of a hundred demons or an undead plague.

Summoning so many players was primarily to quell the chaos of the ghosts. However, the key issue lay in the three fortresses.

One fortress was in the best condition, with the necromancers and death knights still holding their ground, only lacking in manpower. Gu Xi’s task was to deliver this batch of troops to them.

As long as these undead troops reached their destination, the fortress could exert its effect.

After explaining the importance of the matter to Gu Xi, the necromancer continued.

"Gu Xi, you're a newcomer. Normally, such an important mission wouldn't fall on your shoulders, but the current situation is dire. Players above level 5 cannot enter this world. Among the players below level 5, if we wanted to transport these 5,000 soldiers, we'd need at least 20,000 soldiers to fight our way through. Only you can secretly transport these troops to the designated location. Most importantly, the level of these soldiers is somewhat... Let's say you've encountered a good opportunity. Here's the troop you're supposed to take in. Take a look."

The necromancer led Gu Xi to a teleportation gate near the plaza.

This teleportation gate did not lead to any game world but to a separately segmented small space.

Standing outside the teleportation gate and looking inside, Gu Xi saw five phalanxes of varying sizes.

There were two phalanxes of skeleton soldiers, each with clear banners. Some skeleton soldiers wielded swords and shields, the most basic type, while others were skeleton archers.

However, judging by their equipment, they were much stronger than Gu Xi's own skeleton soldiers.

There was one phalanx of zombies, numbering 1,500, all carrying sturdy shields and iron hooks on chains.

Lastly, the smallest number of troops were the ghosts, divided into two units. One had about 300 members, similar to the antique-style black-robed ghosts Gu Xi had previously obtained. The other unit consisted of semi-transparent ghosts.

But just by glancing at them, Gu Xi noticed an issue.

"Comrade, isn't this too many soldiers?"

"You noticed that too. There are a total of 5,500 soldiers here, intended for consumption along the way. After all, various things can happen on the journey. If you encounter danger, you can use these units. But you must ensure not to lose too many. As long as you can deliver 5,000 soldiers to the fortress, you’ve completed the mission."

With that, the necromancer handed Gu Xi a map.

"You will appear here, and then you will take this route. See the skull mark? Your mission target is there."

Following the map, Gu Xi saw that the final location marked by a skull had a small note.

"Dispersed Immortal Garden?"

"Yes, the name was given by the guild leader. We couldn’t help it. From the entry point to here is about 500 kilometers. We'll provide you with a good horse. Unless you encounter major battles, it should take about a day. Factoring in potential delays, you have two days. As long as you deliver these soldiers to the Dispersed Immortal Garden within two days, your mission is complete."
