This Lich Needs More Money Chapter 34

Chapter 34 The war begins

Amberson's tone was cold and evil, and he looked like the most classic evil villain in the story. It's a pity that no one believed the cruel words he said.

Even the paladin was a little surprised. How could this lich really seem to be protecting humans?

Another lord standing with the porcupine knight roared angrily: "Who are you lying to? I clearly saw my subjects reclaiming wasteland here! Don't think that because you are a lich, you can plunder the populations of other lords at will. ,"

Amberxiu said nonchalantly: "When we humans raise sheep, don't we let the sheep graze on their own? I want to raise this group of captives and not let them farm. Should I feed them myself?"

“Damn undead!” Although the porcupine knight was angry, he could not find a reason to refute.

Could it be said that today we spent a lot of time and money to gather troops, but in the end we got nothing?

After all, I didn't expect that their reason for sending troops was untenable.

What the Porcupine Knight is worried about now is not the war, but that once the war starts but Amberxiu fails to be completely killed, then as long as the Lich reports this rhetoric to the Alchemy City, then the Porcupine Knight and other small lords will have a big problem. trouble.

It has nothing to do with justice, truth or falsehood, what the Alchemy City needs now is just an excuse, and then it can give these little lords a severe blow.

The Porcupine Knight can all imagine the final result, which is that a few of their little lords will be fined a large sum of money for starting a war. As for the Lich's territory, they may even have to spit it out and return it to the Alchemy City.

This is a lose-lose outcome, and it is also an outcome that the Porcupine Rider cannot accept.

At this time, Harvey, the mage advisor who had been hiding in the crowd, walked up to the Porcupine Knight and whispered: "Lord, there have been unexpected troubles. I suggest that we temporarily withdraw our troops today. We need to change our approach. "

The porcupine knight heard this, but he was very unhappy.

Assembling troops requires a lot of money, and a large amount of food is consumed if the army is stationed for a day. If you get nothing for the money, it will really be a total loss.

Harvey could see the porcupine knight's hesitation. As the lord's adviser, he should actually give more positive advice. But the moment Amberxiu appeared, Harvey felt his head buzzing, and the power from the prophecy school was frantically warning him.

This lich in front of you is very dangerous, you must stay away immediately, otherwise you will be in bad luck.

Harvey reminded: "Sir, if we continue to confront each other here, I'm afraid we will really start a war. I don't think the result will be what we want."

Before the porcupine knight could make a decision, the paladin suddenly said: "Your Excellency, porcupine knight, maybe now is the time for mercenaries to come into play. How about I take the lead in the charge?"

The paladin cannot leave evil alone. Amberxiu appears in front of us as a lich. This evil must be eliminated!

The Porcupine Knight's eyes lit up. He had spent so much effort to win over these paladins just to deal with the Lich. If they were sure of completely eliminating the Lich, then it would not be up to them to decide what was right or wrong.

The porcupine knight said to the paladin: "Your Excellency, paladin, do you really have the confidence to deal with this lich? Once he escapes, we will all be in big trouble."

"Don't worry, we have enough experience in dealing with the undead. The Lich's biggest weakness is not the skeleton body in front of him, but his phylactery. As long as his phylactery is still hidden in the castle, he will never escape. As long as we capture this castle, I will definitely be able to find the Lich's phylactery and completely eliminate him. Now, please give the order." The paladin said with great confidence.

"Okay, now I give an order in the name of the Jais family, please help me eliminate the evil in front of me. Master Harvey, I order you to assist the paladin in the crusade against this evil lich."

The porcupine knight gave the order very formally, and Harvey could only sigh in his heart, and he could only obey the order no matter how reluctant he was.

A paladin, a light priest, and a mage apprentice rode out of the queue on horseback and slowly approached Amberxiu.

The paladin didn't even bother to make a sneak attack, and just moved forward openly and loudly declared to Amber Xiu: "Evil undead, today, on behalf of the Holy Light, I grant you the purification of your soul!"

With the paladin's cry, he began to charge.

This was the signal to attack, and the Porcupine Knight immediately ordered his soldiers to follow the paladin and rush towards Amberxiu's castle.

Thousands of soldiers charged together, and the scene looked quite shocking.

Amberxiu was a little surprised. He underestimated the determination of this group of humans, but that's okay. He has been short of experimental materials recently.

With a wave of the staff in Amber Xiu's hand, countless skeletons crawled out of the ground.

Even though it was daytime, these skeletons were not affected and quickly formed an array under the command of Amber Xiu. Seeing these frail and stumbling skeletons, the paladin became more confident.

There is no point in having more such weak undead. I saw a flash of light on the paladin's body, and a dazzling light radiated from his body. Intense holy light adhered to his armor and weapons, and even the war horse under his crotch was covered.

The paladin rushed into the group of skeletons. Those skeletons that looked extremely weak were purified by the holy light before they even got close, and were directly crushed and annihilated.

This kind of ordinary humanoid skeleton has no power to fight back against the paladin of the Lion Empire, and it can't even stop the paladin's charge.

Seeing that the paladin was about to rush in front of him, Amberxiu directly used the flying spell and flew into the air.

The paladin was not panicked at all. He had seen many flying undead. When he saw him holding his weapon high, the priest of light who had been following the paladin had already begun to recite the incantation.

“In the name of the Lord of the Morning, I command you to prostrate yourself under the Holy Light!”

An ominous light fell on Amber Xiu.

The most commonly used divine spell by priests—command spell.

With the help of the power of the gods, it turns into huge coercion and orders the target to act according to his instructions.

It's just that the Lord of the Morning is a kind god. Command spells cannot make people commit suicide or self-mutilation, but they can order the opponent to lie down, drop their weapons, or flee the battlefield directly, etc.

These effects are also extremely powerful in battle. Just imagine if a warrior throws away his weapon under the influence of command and then falls to the ground. What will happen?

The command spell cannot kill people, but the long sword in the hand can.

If Amberxiu is controlled by the command spell, he will fall directly from mid-air, hit enough to eat shit, and then his head will be chopped off with a sword.

Although the lich can be reborn continuously, it also takes time, and this time is enough for the paladin to break into the castle and find the location of Amber Xiu's phylactery.

“Haha, I was underestimated.”

A red light flashed on Amber Xiu's body, and the light of the command spell was instantly reflected back, falling on the light priest, almost knocking him off his mount.

Spell counterattack, the magician's best method, can eliminate targeted spells by consuming a corresponding or even less amount of magic power.

The Priest of Light did not show the slightest panic. As the old saying goes, the paladins and Priests of Light in the Lane Empire have long seen the methods of most undead, and Amber Xiu has not surprised them until now.

The reason why he used magic even though he knew it was useless was entirely to attract Amber Xiu's attention so that they could successfully close the distance.

Now, the real trump card can be used.

The priest of light took out a magic scroll and recited a spell quickly.

In less than half a second, a faint blue energy shield unfolded, trapping Amber Xiu within it.

Anti-magic force field!

Within the coverage area of the energy shield, all magic effects will be dispelled, no more spells can be released, all summoned objects will be forcibly dispelled, and even enchanted equipment will be forced to become ordinary non-magic objects.

Within the coverage of this magic force field, the effect of Amberxiu's flying spell will immediately disappear and he will fall from the sky, and his proud spellcasting ability will also be completely blocked.

That's how it should be.

But in the expectant eyes of the paladin and the priest of light, Amberxiu did not fall from the sky, but disappeared completely.

The paladin reacted immediately and said loudly: "No, that's a phantom!"

The next second, countless green lights symbolizing corruption lit up in the direction of the castle. These lights fell on the soldiers like a meteor shower. The mortals were corroded into white bones amidst the screams one after another, and a large number of casualties appeared in an instant.

At the gate of the old castle, Amberxiu said disdainfully: "You are still too young. Which lich will appear in front of the paladin in person? Then isn't a magic castle as big as mine a waste of money?"
