Undead Mage from a Cell

Chapter 837 - 835: First Instance Quest

"What lies ahead is our frontline. When we arrived, the enemy had already seized Westminster Cathedral, so we could only set up our defenses in the large square in front of it.

But it’s obvious that the alleys near the square also have other enemy deployments.

We are currently trying to prevent the enemy from breaking out of Westminster Cathedral.

Your forces are strong enough now; would you like to move directly to the front line?"

The Grand Knight explained the situation to Gu Xi while inquiring about Gu Xi’s needs.

"Grand Knight, I need a piece of open land to transfer my troops over. Then I plan to first clear out the enemies in the streets and alleys around Westminster Cathedral.

As you can see, all my troops are Undead, and you understand how Undead operate.

Is there anything you need help with?"

As a close confidant of the British Royal Family, the Grand Knight was certainly aware of their situation.

The royal family had faced numerous Undead situations after passing away.

The Grand Knight was also familiar with various Undead scenarios.

Upon hearing Gu Xi, the Grand Knight said, "There is indeed a task around the perimeter of Westminster Cathedral.

When we arrived, we surrounded Westminster Cathedral and blocked the entrance and exit, clearing the square of people.

However, some people are still fighting those strange enemies in the alleys. I hope you can rescue them."

[Ding! You have communicated with the Grand Knight inside the dungeon and learned of his needs, thus activating a dungeon quest!]

[Dungeon Quest: Reinforcements on the Streets]

[Quest Description: In the streets and alleys, some ordinary people are being attacked by Deceitful cultists. Please rescue them.]

[Quest Requirements: Rescue at least 20 civilians (0/20)]

[Quest Reward: Battle Banner design (the more civilians you rescue, the stronger the design’s effect).]

[Note 1: In the streets and alleys, cultists are attacking all life around them. Time waits for no one, act now.]

[Note 2: Be cautious; apart from cultists, there are other dangers in the streets and alleys.]

Upon seeing the popped-up information, Gu Xi knew this was the second internal mission.

"Alright, I’ll handle this task. I happen to have a unit that’s best suited for street combat. Grand Knight, give me a larger area to deploy my troops.

Once my troops arrive, you can begin recalling the soldiers scattered in the streets and alleys."

The moment Gu Xi accepted the task, the Grand Knight ceased further conversation and immediately led Gu Xi to a vacant spot near Westminster Cathedral Square.

During Gu Xi’s last visit to the dungeon, he had come here too, but due to his status and position at that time, he couldn’t get close.

He could only watch from afar as various factions battled the cultists emerging from Westminster Cathedral.

This time was different; Gu Xi’s status was no less than those in the diverse factions.

As the Grand Knight led him over, he asked, "Baron Gu, that is our main defense line against Westminster Cathedral, would you like to familiarize yourself with it?"

"Sure, but let’s wait for a moment. I’ll arrange things first."

Gu Xi nodded to the Grand Knight, then glanced at the vacant land, pointing to the ground.

"Steel City Gate!"

As per Gu Xi’s command, the Steel City Gate emerged on the open land.

The Grand Knight was stunned to see Gu Xi conjure a city gate.

The Grand Knight increasingly believed Gu Xi was a key figure of some faction. Otherwise, how could he possess such skills?

However, Gu Xi did not stop there.

After deploying the Steel City Gate, Gu Xi pointed slightly behind the gate.

"Soul Summoning Tower!"

Upon Gu Xi’s order, the crimson Soul Summoning Tower rose.

Once everything was set up, Gu Xi finally began issuing commands.

"Robbie, lead the Bone-Slaying Camp out."

Under Gu Xi’s order, Robbie led the Bone-Slaying Camp out through the Steel City Gate.

Upon entering the Westminster Cathedral major event dungeon, Robbie looked around in surprise.

In fact, Robbie was the hero obtained from the Westminster Cathedral major event dungeon.

Being at Westminster Cathedral made him feel at home.

"Robbie, lead your troops into the nearby streets and alleys, kill all the cultists, and rescue the civilians."

"Rest assured, sir; I’ll handle it."

Upon hearing that his task was street combat, Robbie became excited.

The Bone-Slaying Camp excelled in street-fighting styles; this kind of combat was most convenient for him.

After dispatching Robbie and the Bone-Slaying Camp, Gu Xi turned his gaze toward the Westminster Cathedral gate.

Various cultists were continually rushing out. Among these cultists, some wore black robes wielding daggers, while others showed signs of transformation due to Deceitful Shadow.

As they charged out, they were as suicidal as the Undead, relentlessly attacking everything around them.

However, their Combat Power was not strong; Gu Xi observed they were mostly at Level 4 to 6.

The highest among the leaders in the group was Level 7.

Not a single one had reached Level 8.

Gu Xi also noticed a situation: standing high atop the Soul Summoning Tower, slightly left behind where the cultists charged, the enemy’s strength was the weakest.

With intent to break through, a five-member squad around Level 8 could directly storm through and reach the gate of Westminster Cathedral.

Gu Xi immediately realized this was a chance the dungeon granted to players for strategy.

After all, most players were between Level 5 and Level 10, and a frontal assault was unlikely.

What they usually did was attack through sewers, backdoor corners, or other defensive weaknesses.

By advancing sneakily, they eventually confronted the final boss from unexpected angles.

The soldiers and cultists fighting at Westminster Cathedral Square were simply dramatic props, mere background.

But for Gu Xi, it was different.

All those cultists continuously rushing out from Westminster Cathedral were sources of Experience and manpower.

Gu Xi wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

So Gu Xi promptly began summoning new troops.

Amidst a cloud of black smoke, the Lancer troops, their bodies shimmering with metallic luster, appeared.
