----------

After completing the upgrade of Death's Hand and choosing the resonance with the double red equipment, Gu Xi did not immediately begin the binding process of the Rebirth Arrow.

Unable to contact Death, Gu Xi didn't think much of it and went straight back to Alydovi City.

At this moment, Gu Xi did not pay attention to the battle against the portal, but looked up at the sky.

When Bai Yujing was transported here, it was placed directly above the city of Alydovi.

Li Shiqian and the red-clad guard - the blacksmith - have been crafting the orange-grade equipment needed by Bai Yujing.

They were almost done, but then Gu Xi cast a curse, and all the orange gear had to be pulled back and reforged.

Bai Yujing is currently still in a state where Gu Xi has not fully taken control.

At this moment, Gu Xi could move Bai Yujing, but he was unable to utilize all of Bai Yujing's effects.

However, Gu Xi did not come here to deal with this problem this time.

Gu Xi appeared in Baiyujing in a flash.

The moment Gu Xi stepped into Baiyujing, he immediately released the Moon Palace.

The next instant, Bai Yujing trembled slightly, and actually resonated with the effect of the Moon Palace.

This resonant vibration only lasts for about three or four minutes before dissipating.

However, Gu Xi already knew that Bai Yujing was using this method to tell Gu Xi that he acknowledged her.

As long as Gu Xi can control the entire Baiyujing, then he can bind himself to Baiyujing.

However, binding Bai Yujing will be quite troublesome.

Bai Yujing's rank is also at the level of the head of all goddesses and the Hand of Death.

Most importantly, Baiyujing can be used as a wonder; it's like the Bridge of Creation, and it's not a separate, bound entity.

Gaining recognition is already a pretty good start.

In this way, Gu Xi will receive a lot of support from Bai Yujing during the process of binding with Bai Yujing in the future.

This is far better than Li Shiqian's efforts to give orange-tier equipment that was destined for death.

After getting what he wanted in Baiyujing, Gu Xi went straight to Alydoveta.

This place has now been transformed into a large command base.

Everywhere were busy spirits of the dead.

Messages are coming in or going out almost every minute.

Of the nine lords under Princess Anna, three were always present at all times.

Meanwhile, the orange-armored guards and communications are always here, ensuring that any new orders can be transmitted immediately.

Gu Xi also noticed that Shaya had directly dispatched two intelligence organizations stationed here to transmit the latest information at any time.

When they saw Gu Xi approaching, the spirits ignored him completely and continued with their own tasks.

Gu Xi found a place to sit down and casually waved his hand, and a Three Lives Stone Mirror fell into his hand.

Gu Xi made a stroke on the Three Lives Stone Mirror, and all sorts of information flashed before his eyes.

With the help of the goddess leader, Gu Xi quickly analyzed all the information in front of him.

The orders Gu Xi gave before going to find death were all carried out by Princess Anna and the others.

In the two nearby areas, all the forces related to the portal have been identified.

However, Mary raised a suggestion: don't fight together.

Among the factions involved in the portal, there are always priorities.

You cannot face all enemies at the same time.

So Shaya distinguished between the main points and the secondary points here. As for those things that were related, they were also included, but she just gave them a signal.

They directly stated that there was a conflict between Gu Xi and the teleportation portal.

Make them choose sides.

As for the consequences of not taking sides, let them see what happens to other factions. Of course, the most crucial question here is how to deal with that portal.

While Gu Xi and his side were engaged in battle, the portal had already launched a swift counterattack.

He didn't confront Gu Xi's men directly; he simply announced his existence and offered them certain benefits, which was enough to win over a considerable number of people.

They are mobilizing their troops, preparing to concentrate their forces in one position to directly block Gu Xi's attack.

For these forces, being able to withstand Gu Xi's first wave of attacks would be enough.

By then, they will have seen the method of the teleportation portal.

Morale will be boosted.

After that, they were confident they could withstand the remaining attacks from Gu Xi.

The portal will ensure that its core base remains unchanged.

Whether these other forces can survive is beyond the scope of the portal's design.

That's just how people are; they can only see the victories. They can't possibly see how many people died on the road to victory.

Therefore, Princess Anna's strategy was to find the enemy's concentrated location and eliminate them all at once.

However, Shaya raised objections.

In Shaya's view, the enemy's concentrated deployment of troops presented them with a perfect opportunity to strike.

Sending troops will naturally leave the enemy forces vulnerable, giving you an opportunity to take down their cities.

Gu Xi's undead troops don't need morale, nor are they afraid of getting tired.

But the enemy has morale.

If those enemies heard that their homes were gone, their first reaction would be to go back and rescue them.

In that case, their alliance could simply fall apart.

Once they disperse, their troops will not be so easy to retreat.

Those who live nearby might be a little better off, as they can still find a way to cope.

There's nothing we can do for those who live far away.

After all, they were initially recruited by the portal, and sending the large force to gather together was also a method used by the portal.

They wanted to retreat, but the portal certainly wouldn't allow it.

This makes it impossible to go back by teleportation or similar means.

So in the end they had to find another way.

One of these methods was to eliminate the targets set by Gu Xi before his troops arrived.

Once the target is gone, Gu Xi won't bother them anymore.

After all, this can be considered as them submitting their pledge of allegiance to Gu Xi.

Once they get in touch with Gu Xi, they believe Gu Xi will withdraw his troops.

This is arguably the best option for them.

This is also the option that Shaya most desires.

Princess Anna, however, did not think so. She believed that Gu Xi had enough troops and enough red-armored soldiers. She thought that, like last time, a complete rout was not out of the question.

Therefore, the current situation involves multiple fronts.

We'll decide whichever side's situation is more suitable and proceed accordingly.

However, that was the choice made before Gu Xi returned.

After Gu Xi returns, let's learn about your own personal path.

If you concentrate a large force in one place, let's see if your forces are heavy enough.

Gu Xi put down the Three Lives Stone Mirror and waved.

"Have Princess Anna come here for a moment."
