After Ring Fort Village was built, Gu Xi did not rush to the next place but stayed at Ring Fort Village for a day.
Having helped Meg sort everything out and even taken Meg for a patrol outside the Jiaolong Blood Castle, Gu Xi then headed towards Rotten Forest with Li Yufang.
Liu Yingguang had mentioned before that the area of Rotten Forest had been assigned to the Corpse Bone Fish Dragon Guild.
The Third Elder had just come from there.
When the Third Elder appeared, Gu Xi saw a signal flare go off in the sky over there.
Later, Amirka showed up, and the Third Elder appeared from that direction.
Though some time has passed, Gu Xi still remembers this matter.
Now that he has time, Gu Xi naturally wants to go over and see what’s going on there.
And he needs to settle accounts with the Corpse Bone Fish Dragon Guild’s players.
Not to mention anything else, just the fact that they actively came over can be considered an invasion by Gu Xi.
With this excuse, making them withdraw a bit and yield part of the resource points should be feasible.
With this thought, Gu Xi naturally set out with his army.
The Bone Dragon Corps flying in the sky were led by the Ghost Dragon, while the ground Conversion Undead Combat Squad was commanded by the Bone Titan.
In addition, all of the Bone-Slaying Camp and Black Spear Camp were also mobilized.
This was to ensure Gu Xi’s safety along the way and also to ensure that the players of the Corpse Bone Fish Dragon Guild would obediently follow orders.
After all, Gu Xi could feel that the Steel Ghost Claw Guild was likely unable to hold this part of the game world anymore.
The players of the Corpse Bone Fish Dragon Guild would not give up their benefits here.
If Gu Xi wanted to seize more resource points, besides reasoning, he also needed the strength to make the other party willing to listen to reason.
As Gu Xi headed towards Rotten Forest, the White Knight Order had already investigated the previous situation.
Multiple testimonies confirmed that the previous signal flare was the work of Su Yong alone, and it could not be attributed to a group action by the Corpse Bone Fish Dragon Guild.
"This is troublesome."
Listening to the testimonies delivered, the Captain of the White Knight Order was also somewhat troubled.
Previously, the conflict with Amirka could have been resolved.
After all, they didn’t end up fighting, and as soon as Amirka made a move, they retreated.
But there’s a serious problem; after they withdrew, Amirka’s troops were completely wiped out by someone.
Although the Death Knights of the White Knight Order understood that it was the Third Elder of the Fusion Association they had been chasing, they couldn’t explain it clearly.
You must know that they came over this time to trap the Third Elder and stop him from running around.
Yet they failed to trap him and broke the defense network because of some false information.
It is really difficult to handle this situation.
"Captain, how about I go over to communicate? You know, although I’m a Death Knight, I have mastered Diplomacy Skill.
Although this skill isn’t very useful for players, being able to communicate is better than not communicating.
At worst, we compensate a little.
I believe the players behind that Knight Order wouldn’t want to disrespect Bailian City."
"Yeah, Captain, it’s not that we don’t want to communicate with him, but we haven’t found his contact information and couldn’t explain the situation in detail.
That’s what’s causing such trouble.
As long as we clarify, I believe this can be resolved."
The Captain of the White Knight Order couldn’t help but shake his head.
Nobody wanted this situation, but it already happened, and he couldn’t act as if it hadn’t.
Right now, he could only consider if he had anything on hand that could satisfy Gu Xi.
At this moment, a subordinate from the White Knight Order hurried over.
"Captain, the players from Screaming Castle have come out."
"They came out?"
Hearing this, the Captain perked up, "Where is this information from, and how many came out?"
"Captain, it seems they came out to cause trouble. The Corpse Bone Fish Dragon Guild over there found that a large number of Bone Dragons and Ghost Dragons appeared in the sky, in immense numbers."
The returning Death Knight hesitated but still used the word "immense."
Hearing this, the Captain’s face became even grimmer.
He hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Forget it, I’ll go talk to him, hoping he can hold back his anger for Bailian City’s sake temporarily.
At most, when I return, I’ll give him all my rewards this time."
After speaking, the Captain mounted his warhorse and headed back towards Jiaolong Blood Castle.
His Death Knights quickly followed.
Seeing his subordinates like this, the Captain got angry.
"What are you coming with me for, wanting to be caught all at once?
Go back, the Fusion Association’s people haven’t been found yet.
I’m just going over to explain the situation; if that player wants to continue living in Bailian City, he won’t do anything to me. There’s still room for negotiation, nothing will happen."
The Death Knights understood this reasoning, but they trusted even more that angry players wouldn’t care.
If Gu Xi really let these matters go, why bring such a large force over?
In fact, they didn’t know that Gu Xi wasn’t even aware of the Third Elder’s appearance related to the White Knight Order.
He brought the troops purely to seize territory.
He had no intention of clashing with Bailian City.
When Gu Xi brought his troops into the territory occupied by the Corpse Bone Fish Dragon players, he happened to see a Death Knight walking out from nearby.
This Death Knight was a bit taller than average and wore black heavy armor typical of a Death Knight, as well as a cloak belonging to the White Knight Order.
This signified his identity, that he was from the White Knight Order.
Upon seeing this Death Knight, Gu Xi raised his hand slightly, signaling his troops to halt temporarily.
He then looked towards the Death Knight.
At this moment, Gu Xi understood that this person was likely dispatched by Bailian City to hunt Black Players.
Gu Xi’s task was to block an exit out of this game world and hold it.
He had nothing to do with hunting the Fusion Association and Black Players.
Just as Gu Xi was about to speak, the Death Knight spoke up first.
"Hello, I am Wang Yongshou, Captain of the Seventh Squad, Fifth Platoon, Third Battalion, White Knight Order.
You can call me Captain Wang or Million Wang."
Listening to Wang Yongshou’s self-introduction, Gu Xi was momentarily confused, somewhat unsure of the situation.
However, it seemed that Wang Yongshou was here to plead.
