[Skeleton Soldier (Summoned Creature) killed Deceitful Shadow Boss (Level 4), you received 18 points of Experience, the Combat Squad received 1 point of Experience, Contracted Undead Luna received 31 points of Experience, and the participating Summoned Creatures received 5 points of Experience.]
[You have defeated all the soldiers guarding the Boundary Tower. You have successfully occupied the Boundary Tower. How would you like to deal with the Boundary Tower: destroy, occupy, or abandon?]
Upon seeing the detailed explanation here, Gu Xi understood the situation regarding the handling of the Boundary Tower.
Destroying is the simplest method; after destruction, you will acquire a large amount of building materials and a large plot of land. Later, Gu Xi can build whatever he likes here.
Of course, the construction blueprints need to be found personally, and both the materials and time must be provided by Gu Xi.
Occupation, on the other hand, involves leaving the current Boundary Tower structure intact, directly taking it over and turning this Boundary Tower into a functional building within Death City.
As for what attributes this building will have, it depends on the situation at the time.
When Gu Xi arrived, he noticed that there were quite a few troops garrisoned at this Boundary Tower. However, the earlier enormous black eye made Gu Xi uncertain about the situation at this Boundary Tower, so he hesitated about whether to occupy it.
As for abandoning it, only a fool would make such a choice.
Abandoning the tower in front of him would mean giving up the spoils of this battle, and the tower would not count as part of Gu Xi’s territory.
After abandoning it, Gu Xi would no longer control whatever changes occur inside the Boundary Tower.
Therefore, Gu Xi hesitated at the moment, considering how he should choose.
Destroying the Boundary Tower in front of him results in the most evident benefits.
On the other hand, occupying involves a clear gamble; if what he ends up with is not favorable, it would then be troublesome to get rid of it, as it couldn’t be dealt with simply via destruction.
Fortunately, Gu Xi is a rather decisive person.
As long as he assesses the situation, he will easily discard some seemingly important things.
Hesitating between the two options briefly, Gu Xi decisively stated. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel⟡fire.net
"Occupy!"
When Gu Xi made his choice, he thought this place would immediately become part of his territory, but he never expected that a new interface would pop up in front of him.
"Choose who will enter the Boundary Tower to occupy it."
Upon seeing the choices before him, Gu Xi noticed that the three Skeleton Bosses who commanded the Combat Squads were all within the selection range.
Gu Xi immediately understood that occupying would require the consumption of a Skeleton Boss.
This made Gu Xi hesitate, as the coordination between Combat Squad 2 and Combat Squad 3 was very good, and it was impossible to do without these two Combat Squads now, while there was no Boss level presence among the Skeleton Shooters.
In the end, Gu Xi pointed to the Skeleton Boss of Combat Squad 1.
"You go and occupy the Boundary Tower."
The Skeleton Boss complied without any problem, lifting a two-handed longsword as he headed towards the Boundary Tower.
Following him, Combat Squad 1 also went up.
Gu Xi was about to stop them but thought of a possibility and decided against it.
Combat Squad 1 entered the Boundary Tower together, and as they stepped into the interior, the six-story tower with a human castle style began to change in appearance.
On the rooftop where the Magic Illusion stood previously, a large platform appeared, with a purple blank Battle Banner erected.
Moreover, numerous skull reliefs appeared around the tower, and these reliefs depicted skeletons holding two-handed longswords. If one walked around the tower, it would be evident that the reliefs actually illustrated a set of two-handed longsword swordsmanship.
Then, Gu Xi heard a voice beside his ear.
[Ding, successful occupation of the Boundary Tower. The Boundary Tower is transformed into Skeleton Sword Soldier Camp (Base), gaining 3 points of City Experience!]
[Building Name: Skeleton Sword Soldier Camp (Base)]
Level: Level 1
Garrisoned Troops: 0 units (0/1, all skeleton soldiers can be organized into one unit, which is not yet named)
Garrisoned Bosses: 1 Boss (1/2, can garrison two Bosses)
Garrisoned Soldiers: 23 soldiers (23/243, can garrison 200+43 soldiers, 200 is the building’s garrison soldier capacity, 43 is the number of soldiers led by the Boss)
Garrisoned Troop Type: Skeleton Two-Handed Swordsmen
Subsidiary Building: Armory (unbuilt)
Note: When the building reaches level 7, heroes can be stationed; at level 15, leaders can be stationed.
The information before him left Gu Xi stunned, as the changes in the Boundary Tower exceeded his imagination.
He never expected the Boundary Tower to turn into a base.
If he had known this would be the outcome, he would have arranged for one of the other two Skeleton Bosses to enter.
Even so, this situation is still favorable news for Gu Xi.
After contemplating, Gu Xi decisively declared, "Name the troop stationed at Skeleton Sword Soldier Camp as Bone-Slaying Camp."
Upon Gu Xi’s command, the Battle Banner above Skeleton Sword Soldier Camp transformed, displaying the name Bone-Slaying Camp on the previously purple blank banner.
Of course, Gu Xi was not fond of the banner’s current style. Though he still used a blank Battle Banner himself, it did not mean he lacked ideas. With his thoughts shifting, the text on the purple Battle Banner transformed into various patterns of different colors. Ultimately, under Gu Xi’s control, an image of a longsword piercing through a skull appeared on the purple banner.
This illustration highlights the longsword, as if it penetrates the entire surface of the banner.
[Troop Naming Successful, Bone-Slaying Camp Established!]
[Bone-Slaying Camp (Level 1, Traits: Attack +5, Defense +1, Experience 77/200): Commander (1/2) Level 2 Skeleton Boss, Members (23/243) Level 3 Skeleton Two-Handed Swordsmen 23]
[Skeleton Two-Handed Swordsman (Level 3, Enhanced Summoned Creatures): Experience (0/500), Attack 3+2 (Two-Handed Sword), Defense 2+1 (Leather Armor), Life 21, Skills: Skill Undead Creatures, Swordsmanship Specialization, Combat Enchantment, Slashing Kill.]
With the Battle Banner and the name set, the Bone-Slaying Camp was considered established.
Although this Bone-Slaying Camp only consisted of 23 Skeleton Soldiers, their status was already higher than that of the two Combat Squads.
Of course, because Combat Squad 1, which originally used two-handed swords, had been upgraded to Bone-Slaying Camp, the organization of the two latter Combat Squads was enhanced.
The skeleton soldiers wielding long spears became Combat Squad 1, and those equipped with shields became Combat Squad 2.
The current situation made Gu Xi realize that their chance was missed; who knows when they would have another opportunity to establish their own troop names.
After all, base-type buildings are not a necessity for every city. Even if Gu Xi has space, he must prioritize setting up Training Camps or other functional buildings to complete the city’s functions first.
As for things related to bases, they will be considered when an opportunity arises.
If no such chance comes, Gu Xi might just postpone it.
After essential buildings are established, some vacant spaces will emerge in such a large city, and then he can prepare new bases.
For now, Gu Xi will not have such an opportunity.
After glancing at the situation of the Bone-Slaying Camp, Gu Xi made no further arrangements, shifting his attention to the ongoing battle in the Pier District.
