————————————————
The Flame Domain was cast immediately onto the gathered tree creatures.
A large number of flame-bearing tentacles emerged from the ground, entwining with the tree creatures’ roots.
After releasing the Flame Domain, Gu Xi did not stop his attacks. He cast another Flame Storm, sending blazing bone fragments crashing onto the tree creatures.
Only then did Gu Xi realize that what Amirka said was true.
Once these tree creatures are rooted in the ground, they possess tremendous defense and life force.
These two attacks were aimed specifically at the tree creatures.
Judging from the situation, the effect was actually quite good.
However, even after a big flame, only a dozen or so tree creatures were burned to death.
In the flames, Gu Xi noticed that these tree creatures were clearly organized, pulling back any tree creatures that could still be rescued.
They pushed the corpses on the ground to the forefront to act as shields against the attacks.
They even managed to direct the flames onto the dead tree creatures, throwing their comrades’ bodies forward.
With such a fighting method, combined with their numbers, it’s no wonder Amirka fought them for hours and still couldn’t destroy the enemy.
But now that Gu Xi was here, everything was no longer a problem.
Gu Xi brought a large army.
Although he didn’t bring heroes, various Undead Bosses assisted Gu Xi in command, so he didn’t need to worry about anything.
Now, Gu Xi wanted these tree creatures to see what a Skeleton Sea and a Sea of the Dead truly meant.
The last time, when he fought the Spore Cultist Charlie, Gu Xi had already proven this point.
Ten thousand Skeleton Shooters gathered together.
No matter how strong the defense and life force, even the Boss could be killed in a single strike.
And now, with enough troops in hand and fighting on his own turf, Gu Xi naturally had to maximize this advantage.
He waved his hand, and the prepared Skeleton Shooters simultaneously launched an arrow at the tree creatures.
Five to six thousand bone arrows flew out instantly, landing heavily on the tree creatures in front.
This wasn’t like fighting Spore Cultist Charlie. Although these tree creatures had high defense, they didn’t have the outrageous effects of Spore Cultist Charlie.
When these arrows fell, they didn’t reduce the life force down to a point where it only deducted 1 life point.
Each bone arrow could take away 5 to 10 life points from each tree creature.
Over six thousand bone arrows came down, amounting to nearly sixty thousand life points.
No matter how much life force these tree creatures had, they were just 8-level beings, with life points ranging from roughly 250 to 400.
In just this moment, nearly two hundred tree creatures fell.
This directly took out ten percent of the tree creatures, leaving the rest bewildered.
They had never expected to lose ten percent of their men in just a face-to-face confrontation.
Keep in mind, with this minimal force, they had managed to withstand various cavalry attacks forcibly.
What was happening now, this was impossible.
Meanwhile, Gu Xi’s Ghost Corps had already pounced in front of the tree creatures.
Their speed was extremely fast, and given the high level of the ghosts, which could ignore most physical attacks, these ghosts didn’t consider anything else, diving into the battle array of tree creatures at once, attacking towards the back.
Gu Xi had brought over four thousand ghosts.
And with that strike, they killed about two hundred tree creatures on the spot.
They even tore open a gap in the tree creatures’ defensive line abruptly.
The following Skeleton Soldiers charged in as well.
Unlike the ghosts, Gu Xi brought significantly more Skeleton Soldiers.
He brought at least thirty thousand Skeleton Soldiers, ranging from level 4 to level 8.
The 8-level ones were the main force of the Skeleton Soldiers, while the ones below level 8 were brought out to gain experience and enhance their combat power.
After all, the number of 4-level or so undead in Yalidov was growing, and relying only on the campaigns from the barracks was slow in gaining experience.
Gu Xi sometimes had to take them out for a spin.
Over thirty thousand Skeleton Soldiers crowded together, their attacks, naturally, couldn’t be unleashed simultaneously like the Skeleton Shooters.
But their numbers were sufficient to surround the tree creatures.
Skeleton Soldiers wielded weapons, relentlessly hacking at the tree creatures.
Each attack would take away 10 to 15 life points from the tree creatures.
Under ordinary circumstances, this life force depletion wouldn’t mean much, but here, with such a large number of Skeleton Soldiers, it was significant.
They truly surrounded the tree creatures.
Regardless of whether their own bodies could withstand it, once at the enemy, they would strike with all their might.
This attack method was somewhat similar to the Black Spear Camp’s approach, but with so many Skeleton Soldiers, the attack intensity was significantly stronger.
The tree creatures simply had no way to resist, and any attempt to replenish life with methods from behind was thwarted by Skeleton Soldiers, who on one blow, felled four hundred tree creatures.
Then the Skeleton Shooters followed up with another shot, taking down two hundred more enemies.
Such a performance shocked Amirka.
The tree creatures died so quickly, it was very unusual.
However, Gu Xi remained quite calm.
This was already considered a bit slow.
He turned to look over at Amirka.
"Amirka, have you understood now? Your choice wasn’t wrong, but even cavalry needs coordination.
If you can’t increase the number of cavalry, then you need to find a way to organize other troops.
As the Undead, never forget your greatest advantage."
Amirka glanced back helplessly, replacements for various Death Knights had a weekly yield of only one to two, where would he find a large army?
Isn’t this making things difficult for him?
Yet Amirka also knew there was no way he could gather a significant number of cavalry quickly.
Moreover, in the coming period, the number of cavalry he could command would decrease.
After all, Gu Xi only agreed to let him command the Cyan Knights, while other Knight Corps were to be taken away.
Currently, he could command so many cavalry simply because Amirka hadn’t returned yet.
But soon it wouldn’t work, as Gu Xi would also need to deploy these cavalry.
Amirka couldn’t keep holding onto them.
