At this mont in the Pier District, the Death Incarnation was darting around wildly like a stray dog let out for air.
Wherever he flew, the black fog always brought trendous destruction, overturning many of the once intact houses in the Pier District.
The hidden deceitful shadows in the houses were dragged out one by one, so being fused into the black fog, while others were torn to shreds by it.
Gu Xi wasn’t quite sure what was happening, but he felt that the Death Incarnation was becoming increasingly skilled at this technique.
At this mont, Gu Xi turned to glance at Luna.
"I’ll handle it."
Luna imdiately understood Gu Xi’s intention and quickly floated into the range of the Pier District.
As Luna entered the Pier District, Gu Xi noticed that house after house or ruin was rapidly lighting up, and three wharfs near the riverbank were also undergoing changes.
This was Luna fusing the lands of the Pier District.
Gu Xi only needed a glance to imdiately understand the situation there.
At this ti, Gu Xi couldn’t really help Luna with anything. Yalidu City was under Luna’s control, and having already taken the Pier District, the rest should likely proceed smoothly.
Just as Gu Xi was thinking this, there was a sudden loud bang from one of the changing docks in the distance.
The sound of the explosion startled Gu Xi.
"Bone-Slaying Camp, go check it out."
With a wave of his hand, the newly ford regint was dispatched on the spot.
The advantage of having a regint is that as long as the barracks remain, even if the entire legion is wiped out, they can restore combat power through the barracks.
It’s nothing like the initial Combat Squad 1, which couldn’t be retrained once entirely wiped out.
As the Bone-Slaying Camp rushed into the Pier District, Gu Xi also began to lead his n in.
There were still so deceitful shadows inside the Pier District trying to halt the progress of the Undead Corps.
Their level was decent, but unlike the deceitful shadows of the Boundary Tower before, they didn’t have a unified fighting style. Their situation was more like scattered soldiers or civilians, relying entirely on instinct when charging the Undead Corps.
Gu Xi hadn’t feared them before, and now his undead subordinates each had improved combat power. Their coordination was also more adept, significantly speeding up their ability to kill these deceitful shadows.
Trailing behind, Gu Xi didn’t even have the chance to act and could only helplessly watch as lines of information flashed before him.
[Skeleton Soldier (Summoned Creature) kills Deceitful Shadow (Level 2), you gain 1 experience point, Combat Squad gains 1 experience point, Summoned Creature gains 8 experience points.]
[Skeleton Swordsn (Summoned Creature) kills Deceitful Shadow (Level 2), you gain 1 experience point, Bone-Slaying Camp gains 1 experience point, Summoned Creature gains 9 experience points.]
[Skeleton Shooter (Summoned Creature) kills Deceitful Shadow (Level 3), you gain 1 experience point, Summoned Creature gains 13 experience points.]
[...]
Seeing the rate of experience growth like this, Gu Xi didn’t know what to say. In a larger battlefield, one might get dizzy from all the notifications.
Just then, a ding sounded in Gu Xi’s ear again.
[Pier District occupied, Pier District officially integrated into Yalidu City, gaining 5 city experience points.]

Seeing the attributes in front of him, Gu Xi’s eyes lit up as well.
The size of Yalidu City had clearly increased significantly, and advancing to a Level 3 city seed on the horizon.
As Gu Xi was pondering this, Bone-Slaying Camp had already reached near the docks.
At the currently exploded dock, the Death Incarnation was battling a completely tattered ship.
The ship was clearly a fifteenth-century twin-masted galleon, but it had been subrged for who knows how long, with the deck utterly decayed.
However, this deteriorated twin-masted galleon was sowhat odd; it had clearly just erged from the water, yet no traces other than seawater stains could be found on it.
Nothing like barnacles or any other growth from long-ti exposure to seawater was present on the ship.
No fishy sll or muddy scent as might be expected, it was like a ship freshly sunk to the sea floor.
This ship lacked any Ghost Sailors or similar; it was just the Death Incarnation, carrying imnse destructive power, flying to the dock and accidentally blowing up a powder magazine that had sunk with the ship.
The explosion unexpectedly blasted the ship out of the water.
No one knew why, but the ship underwent so mysterious mutation during the explosion and began actively attacking the Death Incarnation.
Even though the daily major skill had been used, the Death Incarnation had fully mastered his combat capabilities. Against the ghostly cannon fire from the ship, the Death Incarnation increased his speed yet again.
The black fog around him repeatedly crashed into the ship, each ti taking a part of it with it.
Yet the ship was astonishingly resilient; even without parts, as long as the Dragon Bone remained, it could reassemble itself.
For the mont, the Death Incarnation couldn’t do much about the ship.
When Gu Xi and his subordinates arrived, they were still tangled up with the situation on the river.
Watching the battle on the river, Gu Xi also didn’t know what to do.
Luckily, Luna floated over from nearby at that mont.
"Sir, this Death Incarnation prematurely triggered the dock’s activation effect."
"What?" Gu Xi blinked and quickly caught on, "So, if we defeat this ship, we can activate this dock, right? What are the activation requirents?"
Hearing it was a premature dock activation, Gu Xi felt half-relieved. After all, he had activated buildings a few tis, and the requirents were never too difficult; he was familiar with this kind of task.
Luna quickly checked, but as she looked deeper, she was surprised.
"Sir, sothing’s not right—these three docks are interconnected and activated together."
