Looking at the ring’s description, Gu Xi felt speechless.
He never expected purple equipment to be so stringent.
Each special attribute came with a corresponding penalty.
And each penalty was quite severe. Seeing these penalties, Gu Xi didn’t want this item anymore.
However, since it was a piece of purple-quality equipment, someone in the guild would likely want it.
After thinking it over, Gu Xi put away the [Blood Battle Beard Ring].
Then he turned his attention to another item.
Compared to the purple-quality ring, the next item was of lower quality.
It was a pair of green-quality leather bracers. Gu Xi was puzzled, wondering how, despite the big bearded man losing his left shoulder and arm, the bracers retrieved from his right hand came as a pair.
Moreover, they had embroidered gold patterns, clearly a set.
[Dragon Tear (Green, Bracers)]
[Defense: 5]
[Equipped: Strength +2]
[Equip Requirement: Strength 2]
[Special 1: Strength Surge, can be activated during combat to triple arm strength for 35 seconds.]
[Description: Nine bulls and two tigers cannot match a dragon.]
The bracers appeared normal.
But Gu Xi felt they were not meant for a necromancer, more suited for a death knight.
He couldn't possibly equip these bracers and charge to the front lines. If he had to fight personally, what would be the point of his undead minions?
So, the dragon-named bracers were also stored away.
Next, Gu Xi picked up a battle flag from the battlefield.
The flag itself wasn’t significant; the 10-meter flagpole was.
Gu Xi hadn’t paid much attention to the flagpole initially, but when the skeleton soldiers brought it to him, he realized it was a valuable piece of equipment.
[Soul Pole (Green): Battlefield flagpole. When erected on the battlefield, it affects all soldiers within a 2000-meter radius.]
A glance at its attributes revealed that the flagpole's true purpose was to amplify the battlefield effect of the flag.
The flagpole itself had no attributes; only the player’s battle flag could bestow attributes in battle.
Fortunately, Gu Xi had a battle flag but lacked a suitable flagpole.
Though tall, the flagpole could be used.
Gu Xi planned to have the skeleton soldiers place the flagpole on the city gate after clearing the battlefield.
This way, whenever he summoned the city's gate, the flagpole's effect would activate, boosting his soldiers' combat power.
Thinking of this, Gu Xi instructed the skeleton soldiers: “Take these items back to Aridowei City first. Erect the Soul Pole on the city gate, and I’ll deal with the rest when I return.”
While Gu Xi was giving orders, Luna floated out from the city gate.
“My lord.”
“Luna, why did you come out? Is everything alright in the city?”
“Everything is fine. I was managing the sunken cemetery just now. It's sorted out now, creating a large plot in the city. There are also many corpses to handle.
The cemetery was underwater, so it took some time.
By the way, my lord, it seems you just fought a major battle?”
“Yes, some obstructive fellows, but it’s all settled now.
You came at the right time. I just sent some items in. Equip our soldiers with the armor and upgrade their capabilities.
Also, process the steel-enhanced giant bones and demon blood hide. My idea is to first strengthen the city gate's defense.
As for this flagpole, you see how tall it is, I can't carry it around. Place it on the city gate. When the gate opens, the battle flag can be raised, and its effects will spread across the battlefield.”
“Understood!”
Luna quickly agreed after noting the items Gu Xi had sorted.
She also considered where to store the extra materials.
The dock warehouse was completed, possibly a good storage site.
After assigning tasks, Gu Xi jumped onto the lid of the evil coffin, wrapped himself in a blanket, and fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing Gu Xi asleep, Luna felt a bit of pity.
She quickly took over all tasks, organizing the skeleton soldiers to clean up and transport everything back to Aridowei City.
After ensuring nothing was left behind, Luna floated to the evil coffin, turned Gu Xi over, and tucked the blanket tightly around him before speaking to the coffin.
“You know the way, right? Leave once I retreat. Ensure the lord is not jolted off, no matter your speed.
Unless attacked, do not wake the lord. He is very tired and needs rest. Run steadily so he can sleep longer.”
