This Lich Needs More Money Chapter 509

Chapter 509 The Shame of the Empire

　　No one in Lane could have expected that the wedding, which had been lively just a moment ago, would turn into a life-and-death battlefield the next second.

When the devastating blow that had been brewing for an unknown length of time came, the small villa where the Lane people were located was completely enveloped in the red light. For a moment, even the thunder in the sky was covered by the red light.

Old William sighed and ignored chatting with the young man Allen. He raised his shield and jumped out of the window.

The golden holy light turned into a huge shield and enveloped the entire villa.

Seeing this holy light shield, everyone no longer worried.

The power of the Imperial Shield is difficult for even the Silver Moon Knights to shake, let alone a mere orc.

The weight of the shield was reassuring...until the red light fell.

An indescribable vibration came, but no sound of collision could be heard. Like a muffled bomb, the sound disappeared with a slight bang, but what followed was an extremely terrifying shock wave.

The strong wind roared, blowing away several layers of the surrounding ground.

When the dust settled, the Holy Light Shield was in pieces, and the small villa was also full of cracks, looking crumbling.

After all, the Imperial Shield could not completely block the full power of this terrifying blow, but it was much better than the apocalyptic scene around it.

Fortunately, the villa was full of strong people and evacuated to a safe place before the building collapsed.

Old William looked at the giant orc in front of him with a pale face, and his expression became very solemn.

It was a terrifying orc more than three meters tall, with red skin all over his body and a giant ax in each hand. Ordinary people would use it as a two-handed axe, but in the hands of this orc, it becomes a one-handed ax that can be played with.

Orc King Luojia, there is no other orc like him.

Why would he suddenly appear and attack the Lane people without restraint.

Does the Lich really dare to use the reputation he has built for so long to deceive the people of Lane?

Just to kill Emperor Ryan?

It seems like a big gamble, but it actually makes no sense. They can leave at any time. The Ryan people can install the teleportation array on the ship. It is not a technical problem to make it smaller and turn it into a disposable portable teleportation array.

Allen flashed to the little emperor's side and said to him: "Your Majesty, please leave first. I'm going to ask what the lich is doing."

The little emperor glanced at Allen, but instead of doing what he said, he looked into the distance.

In the depths of the thundering night, there seemed to be many black shadows approaching at high speed.

"His Majesty!"

Allen wanted to persuade him again, but found that several of Lane's paladins had already walked over and vaguely surrounded him.

The little emperor looked at Allen carefully and then said, "Alan, do you really know nothing?"

Seeing this formation, Allen couldn't help but smile bitterly, then took a few steps back, and then asked: "Your Majesty, if I don't know what I say, will you believe it?"

The little emperor did not answer, but other Lane people had already given their answers.

From the beginning, Allen was not trusted, and now he is the first object of suspicion.

But the Orc King didn't care what was going on inside the Lane people. He swiped the ax in his left hand backwards and then threw it hard.

The explosive force caused the giant ax to spin at high speed, sending out a piercing roar in the air, aiming directly at the emperor.

Old William, Shield of the Empire, had not yet recovered his breath, but he still raised his shield to block the ax for his emperor.

The huge impact caused Old William to retreat several meters. Although the opponent's attack was far less powerful than the previous one, Old William's Holy Light consumed too much and it was still difficult to block it.

The giant ax whirled and was bounced dozens of meters away.

When the other paladins of Lane saw this scene, they immediately rushed towards the Orc King, intending to attack him while he only had an ax left.

But what shocked everyone was that the Orc King just raised the ax in his right hand high, and the other ax that had just flown out flashed in front of him.

This is a pair of artifacts. Even if the other ax is bought by Ryan, it can still be summoned thousands of miles away with the other ax. It's just that the Lane people don't know this at all.

The two paladins who rushed forward were unable to react in time and were forced back by the Orc King's double axes, causing some damage to their bodies.

However, as soon as they landed, healing spells fell on them, as well as a series of auxiliary spells such as chain of protection and sword protection, which made these two paladins light up like light bulbs.

This is the combination skill of the Lane people. The paladin plus the light priest is equivalent to invincibility.

The legendary paladin, who was blessed with a series of spells, attacked from both sides. One wielded a giant sword of light comparable to a pillar, and the other held a five-meter holy light spear. They were not afraid of this orc who was more than three meters tall.

The orc king howled, barely suppressing the two holy warriors, and his physical strength was constantly being consumed.

"Despicable and shameless white-haired dogs! You are indeed not warriors! Come out, what else are you watching?!"

Following the roar of the Beastman King, bursts of loud rumblings were heard in the dark night. A huge black shadow rushed out, burning with purple flames!

The long knife burning with flames was swung into a dazzling ring at the side of the black figure. Purple flames flew out from the black shadow like a cannonball flying towards the white-haired old man.

A young paladin next to him flashed in front of old William and raised his shield towards the purple flame sword.

As soon as Old William saw this purple flame, he opened his mouth to stop it loudly. It's a pity that he was already a step too late. The long sword burning with purple flames had penetrated the young paladin's shield and penetrated directly into his body.

The shield blessed with holy light was like paper. Not even the magic armor and more than a dozen defensive spells on his body could resist this long sword.

"No!"

Old William's voice came out just now, but it was a pity that the paladin couldn't hear it clearly.

He couldn't understand how he couldn't even block a knife!

With the clatter of the chains, the purple flame sword that had passed through the chest was pulled out by the opponent, and the extremely tall black figure was clearly seen by everyone.

It was a headless horseman riding on a giant eight-legged horse and wearing heavy black armor.

Gareth turned to old William and said unexpectedly: "Hey, I seem to have seen you, many years ago, in Mercury City in the Dark Region..."

After recognizing the person coming, Old William threw the seriously injured and dying young paladin to the priest, and then roared: "Retreat immediately! Protect His Majesty from leaving! I will stop him!"

Old William's hands were shaking, but not just from fear. He has already recognized who the Headless Horseman in front of him is. This is the undead known as the shame of the Lion Empire. He once killed the Headless Horseman who single-handedly defeated the Lion Empire!

The reason he knew this was because his ancestor had participated in the battle to encircle Gareth, but died at the hands of the headless horseman.

Garrison has been a paladin for every generation, and every generation has considered Gareth as the family's greatest enemy.

Today is the second time Old William has seen the Headless Horseman. The last time was decades ago when he entered the Underdark with the Silver Moon Knight to defeat the powerful lich.

It was a lich who reversed life and death and violated ethics. He could turn the undead into real life. This was the most unbearable blasphemy for Ryan, so the Silver Moon Knight led the empire's elite into the Underdark to kill the lich.

Everything originally went smoothly, with the Silver Moon Knight as the main attacker and Old William as the assistant. The two of them cooperated to sweep the entire Dark Territory.

Later, in order to ensure that the lich had nowhere to escape, Old William and the Silver Moon Cavalry soldiers attacked Mercury City in two groups.

There was only one Silver Moon Knight on one side, while Old William brought thousands of elites with him on the other side, including the Silver Moon Knight's most valued students.

The Silver Moon Knight faced the undead army in the Underdark, but Old William only encountered one person, the Headless Horseman in front of him.

And he killed Ryan's army with just one charge.

Old William couldn't react at the time, and even his shield was pierced by this man's sword. The majestic Imperial Shield couldn't even block the opponent's move.

Old William clearly remembered the feeling of the purple flame sword piercing his chest. Everything just happened was like a repeat of the past.

In the end, the survivors used teleportation magic to send all the survivors away, and old William survived.

Ryan suffered heavy losses in that battle. Not only was he seriously injured, it took him many years to recover. The student of the Silver Moon Knight died at the hands of the headless horseman, trampled into a pulp by his eight-legged giant horse, and had no chance to resist.

Now that we finally see each other again, that nightmare-like figure makes old William tremble all over.

Not just fear, but excitement.

Old William raised his shield, his old body separating Gareth from the emperor. A bottle of potion that resembled the starry sky was poured into his mouth, and then his pale hair quickly turned black, and his aging body became upright again. He returned from a dying old man to a man in his thirties.

The light priest behind him covered his body with countless spells, making him feel several times stronger again. The strong holy light lit up from his shield, turning into an iron wall of holy light and crashing towards Gareth.

Back then, he had a strong body but not this powerful holy light. Now he relies on the power of the Fountain of Youth to regain his youth.

It's time to settle the family feud and the blood debt of the year.

The iron wall of holy light crashed towards Gareth, and the holy light turned into hundreds of lances, vowing to pierce Gareth's body.

However, Gareth had no intention of evading, and instead pressed his legs between the horse's belly and hit the iron wall of holy light.

This time, he did not throw out the flaming sword in his hand, but held the handle tightly in his hand and slashed hard at the iron wall of holy light.

The purple flames were so intense that they seemed to turn into darkness, colliding with the iron wall of holy light.

In just an instant, the iron wall of Holy Light, which contained all of Old William's power, was split into two.

Old William looked at the dark aura coming towards him, and he couldn't even react.

Isn't the Holy Light supposed to restrain the magic of darkness?
