Chapter 442 The Turbulent World
Amberxiu is a person who never forgets his original intention. No matter where he is or what he is busy with, his ultimate goal is just to make more money.
Now that the orcs are fighting with Ryan, it would be a pity not to make a profit from such an important event.
When Ryan went to war with the orcs last time, Amber was busy dealing with the priesthood of Queen Rose Spider. This kind of big business was more important than making war fortune, so she missed an opportunity.
By the time Amber Xiu was free, the orcs had long been defeated by Ryan.
Now the time is right, the orcs have regained a victory, and the two sides have returned to a state of even rivalry. There is just a market for Amberxiu's undead troops.
Presumably, the orcs wouldn't mind having an extra batch of cannon fodder to consume Ryan's holy light, and if these orcs were unwilling, Amberxiu wouldn't mind chatting with Ryan. The undead can't only fight paladins, and the efficiency of killing orcs is certain. higher.
But he needed a middleman.
Amberxiu thought about it, but found that he didn't know anyone among the orcs.
This may be a bit imprecise, but it should be said that all the orcs Amberxiu knew should be dead.
At the beginning, Amberxiu only had hatred towards the orcs, and the work of revenge had been completed long ago. He really didn't know many people there.
But it's not a big problem. Amber Xiu's connections are not as wide as usual.
Moreover, this network of people is so wide that there is no need for Amberxiu to find connections on his own, Gustavo Flynn has already taken the initiative to come to him.
The unsmiling face of the black-skinned alchemist appeared on the magic mirror. He said to Amber Xiu without any nonsense: "I have connections with the orcs. I want to sell your undead troops to the orcs. They are special now." You can make a lot of money by being generous.”
Amberxiu immediately smiled and said, "Yes, I thought so too. I didn't expect you to have an orc relationship."
"In those days, Alchemy City's products were sold to all kingdoms, except Emerald Dream Forest. So, in a word, can you work overtime to create artificial souls recently?"
This was Gustavo Flynn's biggest concern.
After obtaining the artifact gold coin, Gustavo Flynn conducted many transformation experiments.
Finally, he came to the conclusion that the cost that Amber Xiu had boasted to him before did not seem to have much merit. This made Gustavo Flynn look at Amberxiu in a new light.
This lich seemed to like money very much, but he was quite honest after reaching the cooperation. At least he didn't cheat him much in terms of cost.
However, this artifact gold coin was really expensive, and he couldn't bear it if he didn't earn it back quickly.
"I thought you would first encourage the Dwarf King to place an order." Amberxiu said.
Gustavo Flynn had already mentioned before that he wanted to take the dwarf route, hoping to make some money first to offset the cost.
As a result, there was no news from the dwarves, but the orc business was mentioned first, which surprised Amber Xiu.
Gustavo Flynn said: "You can let go of the business that you can definitely catch, and you should seize the business that requires competition to catch it, don't you think so? Moreover, the Dwarf King also needs more evidence. To prove that your undead are really useful. After all, our enemy is Ryan."
Amberxiu nodded, agreeing with this point of view.
It does sound unreliable for the undead to fight the paladin, and it is normal for the dwarf king to have doubts.
Amber Xiu asked: "Are you going to sell the fish army to the orcs?"
"It's just one of them, and it's also our most profitable product. However, are the undead used in the sea suitable for use on land?" Gustavo Flynn said with some worry. This is the first time that a product has been exported. If it is released, Problems have a huge impact on brands.
"The trash fish army is very effective when released in the sea, because the buoyancy of the seawater allows these undead to be suspended in the seawater. But if it is used on land, it can only be released directly from the sky, and the effect will be less. But don't worry, low Cost is our advantage, and I can lend an airship to launch strikes from high altitudes..."
Amber Xiu has already thought about the use of undead troops on land. Although the fish army cannot swim freely in the air, there is no problem in self-calibration when falling. Therefore, as long as it is thrown down from high altitude, the hit rate will be the same. very high.
But the effect may not be very good, because the equipment of the Lane people is very good, far more than those undersea races that rely solely on rough skin and thick flesh.
Humans on land have the advantage of making fire, and it is naturally easier to forge metal.
The races in the sea can only rely on scales as armor, and at most they can get some shells to wear on their bodies.
Therefore, the Miscellaneous Fish Legion must either install metal arrows on their heads on a large scale, or they can only rely on the smashed air undead to carry out poisonous attacks.
The Lane people may be able to use the power of the Holy Light to purify this poison, but the reason why the Miscellaneous Fish Legion is called Miscellaneous Fish is not to expect how much damage this undead can cause. From the beginning, this kind of undead has been a consumable. , as long as the power of the Holy Light of the Lane people can be consumed on a large scale, then the deal will not be a loss.
No matter how powerful those paladins and light priests are, their magic power is not endless.
"The orcs are not weak in combat effectiveness. Being able to counterattack Ryan shows that they are ready for a full-scale war. We are just people selling mercenaries, not the real key to victory or defeat on the battlefield. As long as the product is worthy of the customer's gold coins."
Amberxiu's summary made Gustavo Flynn very much agree. This is what the alchemist should do. As long as there is no quality problem, it is up to the customer how to use the goods. The alchemist does not care about this.
After discussing all the details, Gustavo Flynn was ready to leave for the Orc Mountains immediately, looking determined to win.
But before disconnecting the communication, Gustavo Flynn couldn't help but say more: "I thought you would refuse, at least hesitate."
Amberxiu said strangely: "Why? How could I not make money if I can make it?"
Gustavo Flynn said: "In the past, you may not have agreed so simply. You should have discovered it yourself. You were not cruel and easy to kill. You would rather capture people and ask for ransom, or even Can save the world. Old friend, you have changed recently and become more like a lich."
Amber Xiu was stunned for a moment. This comment was a bit weird. What does it mean to be more like a lich?
He was originally a lich.
However, Amberxiu also seemed to feel something.
After Mr. Fortune's death, what little bit of humanity he had left dissipated quickly.
Regardless of whether he admits it or not, when he first transformed into a lich, he still retained many human moral values. He did not kill indiscriminately or cruelly, and he had restraint that was different from other undead.
But now, Amberxiu is leading this war in the depths of the sea. Although it seems like he has no choice, Amberxiu knows in his heart that he is quickly approaching the indifferent lich.
Soon, like the Apoptotic Rose, he will be able to enslave other races without any psychological burden and create more wealth for himself.
Amberxiu couldn't help but think, is this a good thing?
Putting aside all emotional factors and thinking purely rationally, there seems to be nothing wrong with being more like a lich, and this is inevitable.
The undead can only perceive, and everything in the world is like a boring explanatory text, which is difficult to touch the undead. The only thing that can make Amberxiu feel happy is to gain more wealth.
Without emotional stimulation, people will naturally become numb. This is why the undead lose their humanity.
And this process is irreversible. Amber Xiu will only sink into the desire for wealth and continue to fall into the abyss. For the lich, this way of survival is actually a kind of torture.
Because the happy mood cannot last for long, Amberxiu will only become more and more thirsty for wealth, until one day all the wealth in the world is not enough to satisfy his desire.
At that time, it was eternal torture.
However, Amberxiu quickly threw away these meaningless emotions and said to himself: "Whatever, after so many years, I still enjoy my wealthy life." Amberxiu hummed a ditty Enter your own private space and start working hard to create a virtual soul.
Time passed day by day, and Amber Xiu received good news one after another.
With the first batch of Miscellaneous Fish Legion being delivered to the Orc Legion for use, they performed miraculously when they raided Lane City at night.
This battle can be called a classic. The orcs wanted to attack Lane's town at night, but the news leaked out. The Lane people set up an ambush on the road in advance. When the orc army appeared, the Lane people launched a counter-attack.
The orcs were in confusion for a while and immediately retreated.
Seeing that the main force of the orcs was about to escape, the Lions immediately chose to pursue them.
But this pursuit caused heavy damage to the Lane people. Because they underestimated the enemy, the Lane people's team was deformed and could no longer form an effective legion protection effect. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the orc commander ordered the Kuroshio in the sky to launch a high-altitude bombing attack.
In the dark night, those inconspicuous undead legions of miscellaneous fish fell from the sky, like an iron rain.
At first, the Lane people hadn't decided what it was, but it was just bows and arrows. It would be strange if the armor with added protection could block it...
This is a group of miscellaneous fish legions equipped with armor-piercing arrows. The high speed of falling and the effect of automatic aiming cause astonishingly high damage.
Only those paladins wearing heavy armor can block these attacks, but the orc commander has known this for a long time, so he would rather ignore these paladins and specifically target Ryan's auxiliary army. The result is remarkable results. In the first The first airdrop caused thousands of deaths.
Immediately afterwards, the air undead contained in the Miscellaneous Fish Type 1 was released, and the poison created a Jedi. All Lane people who entered it would be poisoned within a few seconds, and then began to twitch and die.
Because the attacks occurred so quickly, many light priests had no time to cast holy light to dispel the dark magic, and they fell to the ground and twitched to death.
In the darkness, this highly toxic area was more effective. Many Lane people ran into it without being able to see the situation clearly, and more Lane people died.
It took a full ten minutes for someone from Lane to discover what the problem was, and then began to use holy light to disperse it.
But this short ten minutes had already caused heavy losses to the Lane people. At this time, the orcs responded with a counterattack and surrounded them from all directions, trapping the Lane people's paladin army.
It turned out that the orcs' night attack intelligence was deliberately leaked from the beginning. Their real target was not the town at all, but the main force of the Lane people.
After so many years of fighting with the orcs, this was the first time the Lane people had a complete tactical failure. The orcs in the past definitely didn't have this brain.
What's even more frightening is not this kind of tactical thinking, but the fact that the orcs, who have always only roared and rushed forward, are now able to execute tactics. This is not just a matter of words.
It is impossible to completely tell all the soldiers about the battle plan, so when they pretend to escape at the beginning, many orcs will think that they have really lost. This time the formation will be messed up and people's hearts will be scattered.
It's not that elite troops can't fake defeat, because it often turns into a real rout as soon as they retreat.
When did the orcs have such an elite force that enforces laws and regulations? This is totally out of character for them.
But that was the fact. The Lane people could only fight **** battles, leaving thousands of paladins alive, and barely managed to break out.
This is also thanks to the almost morale-locking performance of the Holy Warriors. Everyone is not afraid of death and uses the Holy Slash to break out of the way.
But after this battle, the Lane people also understood how powerful the orcs were, and had to shrink their forces into large cities to wait for the arrival of reinforcements.
Amberxiu naturally made a lot of money. The orcs were very satisfied with the airdrop service provided by Amberxiu, and Amberxiu also knew the name of the orc commander - Urbano Pacheco, a very young man. The orc is only twenty years old this year, and he is not a legendary strongman.
This is almost impossible among the orcs. Who can accept the command of a young orc with little fighting ability?
Amberxiu was also curious as to what method the orc used to obtain the position of commander. You must know that the first task for the orc to gain control of the military was to defeat the previous commander in a duel.
But the secrets of the orcs will obviously not be told to Amberxiu so easily. Amberxiu can only guess that it has something to do with Gruumsh, the main **** of the orcs. It seems that Urbano Pacheco is also a mortal blessed by the gods.
But Amberxiu couldn't guess the specific effect of this blessing.
It couldn't be that he was given a powerful commanding ability, right? The orc **** doesn't seem to be very good at commanding, and Gruumsh is more like a heroic warrior. He once tried to duel with the elf **** Corellon... and was shot out of one eye.
This is already very powerful. What kind of strength does Corellon have? Gruumsh challenged Corellon in his heyday. He only lost one eye under Corellon's bow and arrow. This orc **** is worthy of the rank of powerful god. .
The orcs won the victory and were not in a hurry to continue the attack. Instead, they tried to establish a stable base outside the mountains, using a steady and steady strategy, just like when Ryan attacked the desert.
The Ryan man felt extremely aggrieved. When had he ever endured such humiliation?
In the end, they had to deploy Angor Watson to the battlefield here.
At this moment, Ryan, who was about to split, let go of the conflicts between them. Just as Ambrose said before, the current external force will only restore Ryan to unity from the edge of division, and it is impossible to break it.
Ange Watson did not disappoint. He performed the art of war on the battlefield and won three battles in a row, causing the death of a legend of the orcs.
Anger Watson had seen Amberxiu's undead army and personally commanded it. This resulted in the orcs being unable to carry out "surprise attacks". As long as the Lane people were prepared, it would be difficult for the miscellaneous fish army to achieve effective results.
Just when he was about to drive the orcs back, Urbano Pacheco made a very outrageous roundabout sneak attack. No one knew how this young orc used to direct the orcs to bypass the Lane people. The encirclement of the net unexpectedly attacked Ange Watson's rear. Not only did he burn most of the food and supplies, but he also captured many Lane civilians, forcing Ange Watson to give up the orc city he was about to capture.
Urbano Pacheco successfully saved the city he built, but the orcs suffered heavy losses, and Ryan failed to complete the strategic goal of driving the orcs back to the mountains. Everyone suffered a loss, but everyone unanimously chose to continue fighting. Go down.
When the two sides reached a stalemate, a lot of good news came from Amberxiu's side.
In the battle for the volcanic sea, Ai Ge won consecutive battles. From the two territories at the beginning, it has now become double digits. The advantage of the undead army in the sea is too great. Without the restraint of the Holy Light, this is the strongest army.
Ai Ge is also smart. Before her opponent can think of a solution, she doesn't want to manage more areas, but first eliminates the number of enemies.
And the main target is Yixi Manta. As the bodies of Yixi Manta are used in exchange again and again, the mermaid tribe also sends a large number of criminals.
It's true that I don't know that there are so many people in the mermaid tribe who have committed the crime of “indulgence”. Now the number of mermaids who are willing to accept Ai Ge's rule has exceeded 10,000.
This number is enough to establish a sizable mermaid tribe.
Ai Ge temporarily stopped the war mode and began to try to collect the mermaid's faith.
This is a very difficult job for Ai Ge, because she is still only a mortal.
Even if he is a legend, he has not obtained the priesthood and cannot directly use the power of faith. He can only spend time and patience to integrate the power of faith into his body bit by bit. This process will be very slow.
It's just that things can't go on so smoothly after all. Goddess of destiny always likes to give you a few pieces of candy before giving you a kick.
After Amberxiu's side gained absolute advantage, the three races of Kuo Tao, Yixi Ray and Shark Hua chose to temporarily unite.
This time, it is not a simple and loose alliance.
Instead, the gods behind the three races chose to cooperate and ordered their believers in the form of oracles to cooperate against the new force of Amber Xiu.
In order to decide the ownership of the volcanic sea area as soon as possible and minimize unnecessary casualties, the gods of the three tribes sent an invitation for Ai Ge to participate in a war game.
If Ai Ge loses, she will immediately lead all her subordinates out of the volcanic sea. If she wins, these three gods are willing to share part of their power, allowing Ai Ge to skip the process of accumulating faith and be directly promoted to a god.
But when Amberxiu saw the specific invitation letter, he said to Aige: "Those three gods really think we are stupid! They don't want to play some war games, they want to wait for you to be promoted to God will tear you apart and swallow you!"
