----------

Gu Xi didn't know why the enemy retreated, but after looking at the battlefield and the intelligence sent to him, Gu Xi understood that this was an opportunity.

The troops that the Grand Lord arranged to guard near Dragon City were originally two of the Seven Eyes, Seven Hearts, and Seven Tentacles troops under the Grand Lord.

One is the Void Demon Heart Force that guards the source of the void, with a number of 200,000 people and mainly responsible for defense.

The average level of soldiers is around level 25. Their situation is rather special. Some of them are like ghosts after being transformed, but they are more energetic than ghosts.

The kind whose body is weakened and physical attacks have almost no effect.

But their own attacks can hurt others, so it can be said that they are more difficult to deal with than ghosts.

The other is the rift tentacle force within the seven tentacles, which has a number of about 250,000 people.

How should I describe its appearance? It looks like a sutured body.

Half of their bodies looked like complete human troops. Whether it was the weapons in their hands or the armor on their bodies, they were all dressed like standard human soldiers.

But the left half of their bodies is different.

This part of the body directly turned into tentacles, as if the body was split into two pieces and tentacles were installed in the other half.

These tentacles are extremely elastic, not only are they not easy to cut off, but they can also attack at a semi-long range.

Most importantly, these tentacles have a certain destructive effect on space.

Over the past three years, the Void Demon Heart Force has been mainly responsible for targeted defense, while the Rift Tentacle Force has been the main force in destroying the red light curtain.

It’s a pity that their strength is not that strong, with an average level of about level 27. In Gu Xi’s eyes three years ago, that was just the level. During these three years, they simply couldn’t break through the defensive shield set up by the Axe of Creation.

At the beginning, Moore, who was guarding here, thought they could break in and kept watching them for a long time.

Later, I found that their methods were useless against the protective shield, so I ignored them.

The troops being withdrawn this time were mainly the Void Demon Heart Troops.

According to Gu Xi and the others' guess, it is very likely that something went wrong at the Source of the Void because no one has been guarding it for more than three years, and that the Void Demon Heart Troops have to be transferred back to deal with it.

As for Gu Xi's recent deployment of additional troops near Longcheng, the prince had seen it.

However, the prince has always believed that Gu Xi’s strength is insufficient, and he has always been hiding behind the protective shield.

Even if more troops were sent, it would be of no use. Gu Xi didn't even dare to open the defense shield and kill him.

Because the prince saw clearly that Gu Xi had been developing with the help of the protective shield.

As long as the shield is opened, all their work over the past few years will be in vain.

The prince's men can attack Gu Xi's territory from all angles.

By then, not to mention that Gu Xi will not have enough troops, even if he has enough troops, they will not be able to defend against the attack of the prince.

The prince observed Gu Xi here for more than three years.

Although I don't know as much as the British people in Victoria, I still have a deep understanding of them.

He believed that Gu Xi would never release the protective shield.

That's why he transferred the Void Demon Heart troops back when problems arose at the Source of the Void.

As for the rift tentacle troops, leave them where they are and let them continue attacking the defense shield.

In order to ensure that the rift tentacle troops could have a better combat environment, the Grand Prince also transferred a group of vassal troops from nearby.

The number of these vassal troops is not small, about 300,000.

The main ones are shadow ghosts, zombies, corpses of cultists, and some wood-turned people and poisonous people. Their levels are not too high, 15 to 19 levels are the limit of these servants.

If they are stronger, above level 20, they will almost certainly be included in the main combat force by the Grand Lord.

They will not be used as vassal troops here.

As for wild monsters below level 15, the prince has no time to pay attention to them.

In their eyes, monsters below level 15 are all cannon fodder, miscellaneous soldiers, and food, and they don't need to be counted in the sequence of the troops at all.

These miscellaneous soldiers and wild monsters, which may number over a million, were mixed in at the outermost edge of the defense line like a flock of sheep.

Perhaps these miscellaneous soldiers will be of some use only after the defense shield is broken. Anyway, in the eyes of the Grand Lord, these miscellaneous soldiers are not actually included in the battle sequence.

But it is different for Gu Xi. In Gu Xi's eyes, all existence is meaningful.

In other words, he counted all the enemies.

This is also the reason why one of the two main combat forces of the Grand Duke was transferred away, and the battle report from Gu Xi was that the enemy had only transferred a small part.

However, doing so is also beneficial to Gu Xi. At least Gu Xi is not too careless because the Grand Lord's defense forces have been transferred away.

Instead, he carefully mobilized the troops, carefully analyzed the enemy situation, and carefully considered the next battle strategy.

In battle, what you should fear is not the ever-changing situation, but what you have missed.

The best idea is to think everything through before the war.

If it is impossible to take care of everything, then you have to find a way to plug all your loopholes.

Although it was not the first time that Gu Xi faced such a battle, this time he was fighting against the Great Lord, so Gu Xi naturally had to be extremely cautious.

Gu Xi came up with various plans one after another to deal with different situations.

At the same time, Gu Xi's main heroes were also mobilized.

Of these heroes, the one who cared the least was naturally Arroyo from the Black Gun Battalion.

At this moment, his face was full of excitement.

Ever since the last battle with the Dragon Tooth Soldiers and the Hundred-Headed Dragon under the golden apple tree, Arroyo has been getting cocky.

Before, he wasn't quite sure about his fighting ability.

It’s different now, the Black Spear Battalion under his command are experts who have fought against demigod-level soldiers.

The strongest soldier under the command of the opposing Lord is only level 35, which is far from the demigod level requirement.

At most, all the soldiers in their team are champion-level.

But so what? The ones Arroyo killed were championship level.

Shi Li who was standing beside him had the same expression.

The last time he fought the Dragon Tooth Soldiers, he hadn’t killed enough.

This time he must kill as many enemies as possible and make up for all the experience he lost last time.

As for the other heroes who arrived here earlier, they all had the same expression.

They knew clearly that their troops were no match for the Grand Prince's troops, but they had no fear of death. In their eyes, all enemies were paper tigers, and as long as they fought, there was no possibility of failure.

Among these troops, the most stable one is the Undead Arrow Tower Hunter Troop transferred from Black Pole City.

After being transferred here, they did not show any expression, but just quietly set up tall arrow towers there, ready to attack.
