This Lich Needs More Money Chapter 135

Chapter 135 Another Ambush

Late at night, a huge carriage set off from the newly built castle and headed for a distant destination.

Even if there is magic to increase the speed, it will take three hours of non-stop running to reach the destination.

The Dwarf Iron Guards don't quite understand the behavior of giving money to people in the middle of the night, and they have no resentment in their hearts. Many people also think that because the Hand of the King has lost one of his hands, he is no longer the general who fought bravely on the battlefield.

After the melee in the Alchemy City began, the dwarves seemed to be giving money to people every day. They gave so much money, but they didn't see any benefit from it.

But they can only think about this in their hearts, and they don't dare to say it out loud.

In the carriage, the guard captain who used the transformation technique to look like Hoffmann Iron Fist was also a little confused.

It's not that he doesn't understand the matter of sending money. After all, he doesn't want to fight, and he also wants to stabilize the rule of the new territory, so sending benefits is necessary.

But why did you choose to send money at night? It's okay to send money secretly, and you also let yourself turn into a leader to hand over. This seems a bit unusual, as if you have done something bad.

Even though he was very confused, the guard captain was still absolutely loyal to Hoffmann Iron Fist. This was the order, so he just had to follow it.

The carriage moved forward rapidly. Because of the anti-gravity magic, it ran very fast. But when they were about halfway through the race, the pulling horse suddenly became manic. Not only did it make an emergency stop, but it also struggled wildly and disobediently, as if trying to break free from the reins.

This situation is not right, the war horses have been strictly trained, and they will not panic and lose control even if they are faced with a phalanx of spears.

There must be something terrible nearby to cause the war horse to react like this.

Just before the dwarves could check, hellfire was ignited around the carriage.

The flames roared and turned into a high wall to seal in all the dwarves. The surrounding space is distorted, and any space spells can no longer be used. The door to **** has been opened, and roaring and screaming monsters rush out of the flames, rushing towards the dwarves like a wave.

Although the dwarves didn't understand why they were ambushed, the dwarf iron guards reacted quickly, splicing their shields together, and quickly deployed the magic energy shield to keep the monsters out.

The seemingly thin and transparent magic energy shield blocked the impact of thousands of demons.

No matter how hard those little cowards waved their claws, they couldn't leave even a trace on the magic shield.

The Dwarf Iron Guard is best at defense, so it is more stable than the elves when attacked.

The guard captain originally wanted to lead the charge himself and break through the siege of hellfire, but suddenly he remembered that he was playing the role of Hoffmann Iron Fist, and he might be exposed if he used his hands, so he could only shout an order: "Kill these monsters. ! Break out to the east!"

The dwarf iron guards responded loudly, then raised their heavy shields and moved eastward against the wave of demons.

They let out a loud shout with every step they took. Their heavy steps brought huge power, and they forced their way out of the wave of demons while holding on to the magic shield.

Many little cowards were squeezed by the dwarves and the others behind them, and slowly turned into a mass of rotten flesh.

This is a tactic commonly used by dwarves, to open up a super-defensive shield and then squeeze the opponent's living space.

Of course, in addition to this, they also have means to fight back.

With the protection of the front row of iron guards, the dwarf mages in the rear began to cast spells freely.

Fireballs were thrown out one by one, blasting all the demons into the sky, and bolts of lightning flew out, electrifying them into charcoal.

This dwarf team has less than fifty people, but the number of monsters killed in their hands has exceeded three digits.

If you continue like this, you will soon be able to break through the encirclement of hellfire. When you leave the range of space distortion, leaving here is just a matter of group teleportation spells.

But to be able to set up such a large-scale ambush, it is impossible for the enemy to just release a little coward.

The Balor Balrog appeared as usual, and several flame giants blocked the dwarves, waving the flame whips and giant swords in their hands and frantically attacking the dwarf iron guard's magic shield.

The violent energy collision exploded on the shield with a light that was brighter than fireworks.

Every bombardment from the Balor Balrog would cause the shield to tremble violently, and the dwarf iron guards had to stop and do their best to maintain the effect of the shield.

The dwarf mages began to focus on these Balor Balrogs, hoping to kill them.

However, the magic resistance of the Balor Balrogs is not generally high. Even if they are bombarded with ice spells, it will be difficult to kill them in a short time. Once the team stopped, the demons' attacks were dense from all directions.

The magic shield is flashing continuously, and it has obviously reached its limit.

The guard captain saw that something was wrong and could not continue to act. He raised the hammer high and knocked it **** the ground.

The ground shook outside the magic shield, and countless thorns grew out of the ground, piercing the bodies of the demons.

A Balor Balrog could not dodge, and the soles of its feet were pierced by ground thorns, roaring in pain.

The captain of the guard is also a strong man of legendary rank, and his profession is an arcane knight.

"Give me blessings, I will deal with those Balrogs!" Following the order from the guard captain, the mages in the team continued to cast magic on him. The power of the bear, the lightness of the cat, the perception of the owl, the stone skin technique, the blessing technique...all the magical effects that can be blessed were thrown at the guard captain, turning him into a big colorful light bulb.

Then he raised his hammer and summoned his magical mount, a huge black goat.

The black goat, which was bigger than an ox, crossed the magic shield with one leap and jumped into the demon with the captain of the bodyguard.

As soon as he landed, the guard captain and his mount quickly became blurry, and three identical phantoms appeared beside him.

The demons couldn't tell which one was the real body, and most of their attacks failed.

The guard captain wielded the hammer to kill. The hammer weighing dozens of kilograms was as light as nothing in his hand. Not only did he swing the hammer, it left an afterimage, but a sonic boom could even be heard.

With the blessing of so many spell effects, the legendary warrior can already break the speed of sound when wielding his weapon with all his strength.

Not only that, the Arcane Knight's spellcasting ability is not weak either. This guard captain has a hammer in one hand and magic in the other. He can throw around range spells such as thunder waves and burning hands for free. Any demon that came closer would be blown away by his spells, and he alone would cut his way through countless demons.

Advancing all the way, the guard captain soon came to the front of Balor Balrog.

The size difference between the two is quite obvious. If it were not for riding a huge black goat, the guard captain would not be as high as the Balor Balrog's knees.

But size does not mean combat power. With the blessing of magic protection, the effect of the flame aura is completely ineffective on him, and can only explode a few small sparks on his body surface.

The war hammer in the guard captain's hand came out and turned into a meteor, hitting the Balor Balrog's head.

The hammer hit the Balor Balrog's skull with great force and precision.

There was a muffled sound, and a huge wound opened directly between Balor Balrog's eyebrows, and lavlike blood flowed down.

But this was just the beginning, because the heavy hammer returned to the guard captain's hand with a bang the moment it hit the target. This is the exclusive ability of the Arcane Knight - weapon binding.

The Arcane Knight can choose a weapon and bind it to himself.

The bound weapon will never fall out of hand, and even if thrown out, it will quickly return to the hands of the Arcane Knight.

This gave rise to a genre of arcane knights—throwing style.

This personal guard captain is obviously a master of throwing style. His hammer is not only accurate, but also adds a lot of special damage. The second time he threw it, the head of the Balor Balrog exploded, giving him no chance to recover. nothing.

After killing one Balor Balrog, he picked up the hammer again and threw it at the other Balor Balor. At the same time, he pulled the reins, allowing the black goat to charge and dodge the flames of Balor Balor. whip.

The captain of the personal guard rushed left and right among the demons, and was occasionally hit by attacks, but he completely ignored the damage due to the blessing effects of dozens of spells on his body, and his hammer throw hit a Balor Balrog twice. If this continues, the dwarves will soon be out of trouble.

But things are often not that easy.

After the second Balor Balrog was killed, three scarlet rays of light fell from the sky.

Three stages of magic energy exploded, and the powerful energy accurately hit the guard captain, making him tremble all over, and several of the protective magics on his body were shattered.

This is not an ordinary spellcaster, but the power of a legendary level.

The guard captain couldn't help but raise his head and saw a shadow with wings passing by in the dark sky.

“This is...a dragon?!”

The dragon-shaped shadow rushed towards the guard captain, opened his mouth and spit out a breath of hot dragon breath.

The guard captain only had time to raise his shield to defend himself. He heard a crackling sound, and most of the protective magic on the guard captain's body was broken again. Even the black goat sitting down was seriously injured by the dragon's breath.

But the Captain of the Iron Guard did not sit still and waited for death. He threw the hammer, as fast as a meteor, and landed on the head of the dragon, creating large sparks with the fine dragon scales.

The flying dragon roared, flapped its wings and flew high, and then continuously used magic energy blasts towards the guard captain.

The energy bombarded him one after another, making the guard captain a little unable to hold on.

Throwing a hammer is useless. Even if the speed of the hammer exceeds the speed of sound, the opponent is high in the sky and will have lost its original speed by the time the hammer is thrown in front of him. The flying dragon has dodged it several times.

The guard captain suddenly fell into a hard fight and could only be beaten without being able to fight back.

And when the guard captain was entangled by the flying dragon, the other dwarves also fell into a hard fight.

The demons are endless and are weakening their magic shield little by little. When the shield is broken, all the dwarves will die at the hands of the demons. The captain of the personal guard had no idea about this. Although the arcane knight also had the ability to cast spells, he was not as versatile as the mage and could handle any situation.

The flying dragon in the sky perfectly restrained him, the arcane knight, and as time dragged on, the dwarves had only one way left: defeat.

Hence, the guard captain made a cruel choice. He abandoned the other dwarves and prepared to break out alone.

At least someone must go back and report the news!
