Chapter 158: The Enemy Appears
"Master, wake up, Master!"
In a daze, Gu Xi heard Luna's voice. He even felt cold little hands pressing on his face, seemingly trying to wake him up.
Gu Xi sat up, glanced at Luna, and saw that she was holding a roasted owl and a cup of Green Ghost in her hands.
"Thank you, this is exactly what I need right now. Luna, how long did I sleep?"
Glancing at the undead who were already in position, Gu Xi reached out to take the food and drink.
"About two and a half hours, Master. The gargoyles and the new skeleton soldiers and skeleton archers are already in position. Also, it seems the enemy is almost here."
"Almost here?"
Gu Xi tore off a leg of the owl and bit into it forcefully while looking outside.
He noticed a large number of strange creatures approaching from about seven to eight kilometers away.
These creatures looked like mummies, but their skin was red. Among them were some riding on yaks, beating drums made of unknown skins, directing the troops towards this direction.
Gu Xi could only see them from a distance and couldn't determine their numbers or strength.
He glanced at Luna and then climbed up the stairs behind the city gate to the top of the gate tower.
At the top of the gate tower, fifteen gargoyles were huddled together at the edge of the wall, wrapping their wings around themselves, waiting for the order to strike.
"Go check out the enemy's situation."
Gu Xi ordered sternly. If he weren't still chewing on owl meat, he might have sounded more authoritative.
Upon hearing the order, the gargoyles took off, splitting into three groups of five, flying towards the distance.
From the top of the gate tower, Gu Xi found it a more suitable position to command the battle.
From here, he could easily see everything within a two-kilometer radius.
This would make battle command much more convenient.
However, Gu Xi also knew that this position was somewhat detached from the battlefield, and many of his spells couldn't reach every corner of the battlefield.
Moreover, he couldn't see the battle happening directly under the city gate, which would be a blind spot.
As Gu Xi was contemplating the feasibility of commanding from the gate tower, the gargoyles flew back.
