Chapter 857: Group Battle Lich King (II)
The Spatial Enhancement Pillar slammed into the energy shield of the Lich King's Dark Shield almost instantly, causing the Lich King's complexion to change dramatically, as he thought he was going to escape from danger. --.
Although under this violent impact, the spatial enhancement pillar turned into dust the moment it came into contact, the Lich King knew that another Sword Saint was approaching at an extremely fast speed, and the dark energy he had just condensed was once again scattered.
The Lich King, whose face was extremely pale, could only flee into the distance. Now that his realm is shattered, he is no longer as strong as he was just now, if it weren't for the dark shield and the buffer of the dark book, otherwise, he would have been destroyed by his forbidden spell.
The thunder sword master who rushed to the front, each sword carried the power of thunder, and slashed at the Lich King's body, even if the Lich King was protected by the Dark Shield, but he was still beaten to the ground.
However, what secretly surprised him was that with the current situation of the Lich King, he could still hold on under such a blow, and the strength of the Lich King was unfathomable.
However, he was not alone, and the Lich King, who was stopped by him, was soon overtaken by the Ice Sword Master and another sage, and the magic and fighting spirit swords hit the Lich King almost at the same time.
The Lich King, who hadn't flown far yet, couldn't bear it anymore this time, spat out a mouthful of black blood from his mouth, and stumbled forward.
Finally flew out of the way again, and the Lich King had to learn Suina's previous escape method and burrow directly into the woods below.
While the Lich King burrowed into the woods below with a slash from the Thunder Swordmaster, three new figures appeared at the same time where the Lich King had burrowed into the woods, and then all of them flew towards the north at the same time.
Watching the six saint-level powerhouses fly farther and farther, Shuina and the thief also knew that their mission was over.
As for Marshal Ryken and the bishop of a church not far away, they didn't need to participate, after all, in the face of the Dark Yin Soul Dragon, their attacks were probably only in single digits, and they would only be a burden if they went.
Seeing that there was no danger around, Mina also thief Yiyoudao immediately stepped up his actions and put the bone dragons shattered by the bone dragon into his backpack one by one. And the ones that are too big to be stuffed into are also stolen, and some people use daggers to cut them directly into pieces and put them in backpacks.
The bones produced by the bone dragon carry extremely strong undead energy, which is the best material for the undead summoning of necromancers, and it is also the best source of energy for the advancement of the white bone seal of Daybreak.
As for the huge magic armor on the other side, although Mina was very hot-eyed, they had no way to move it directly, after all, they couldn't move the magic armor that was more than twenty meters high and weighed several tons.
And when Mina and the others were about to clean up, Marshal Lyken and the bishop had no interest in chasing the Lich King, after all, now Marshal Lyken himself was injured, although the injury was not serious, but in the case of damage to the realm, it was not easy for them to act rashly.
It's not that Marshal Lyken is afraid of death, but his identity is too special, and if something happens, it will affect the morale of the front.
The two people who came to the top of this magic armor were very interested in this armor, and Marshal Ryken even went into the hole to see what was going on inside.
And the thieves who had already entered just now also knew that in this magic armor, there were a large number of magic arrays engraved and a lot of gems inlaid with them, and the cost of this thing alone was already astronomical, not to mention the technology used on it.
"Marshal." At this time, Mina and the thief also came to the magic armor and showed their faces.
However, Marshal Lyken is not very happy now, the ice blue mage robe on his chest has been stained red with blood, but his spirit is not bad, but his face is a little pale.
"Yes, you have lived up to your teacher's expectations." Marshal Ryken looked at the two of them with great satisfaction, without the contributions of these two people, I am afraid that there would be no way to win the Lich King today.
"That's what we should do." The thief also responded immediately.
"By the way, the Lich King's side ......" Mina was more worried about this one.
"Don't worry, if they can't kill the Lich King, then it's useless for us to try." Lyken has a strong belief in the strength of the six of them.
If even they can't kill the Lich King, then there really is no one in this world who can kill him.
"But, the art of snatching ......"
"Don't worry, we've got this." Ryken lifted his sleeve to reveal a white light mark on the back of his left hand, and then said, "Although this mark does not completely stop the progress of the seizure technique, it can play a preventive role, and that little time is enough for us to react." It's just that if the Lich King is really determined to escape, we have no choice. ”
In the few minutes that had just been fought, Rykan knew that the Lich King's strength was really strong, and if they really wanted to escape, they could only stop him, but they couldn't stop him at all.
However, fortunately, the Lich King, who has self-destructed his own realm, may no longer have the capital to fight guerrilla warfare. As long as there are no accidents, they will win this battle.
However, in this world, the most common thing is the accident.
With the cooperation of the two saint-level mages, the magic armor of the Demon Armor Yin Soul Dragon was sent back intact.
And after Minai and the thieves also joined up with Dawn, they soon came to the command camp of Marshal Ryken.
Mina already knew that the old mage was coming, and this time, he came to ask for a task reward.
However, when Mina followed the herald to the old mage's room, he heard Marshal Ryken's heavy sigh.
The two looked at each other outside the doorway, and their faces were a little ugly.
"Isn't the Lich King dead?" There is also a way to thieves, and I am most afraid of such an accident.
"This is impossible, if none of their 6 saint-level powerhouses can eliminate the accident, then the Lich King has already solved them in turn, and there is no need to escape, let alone self-destruct their own realm." Shuinai analyzed it, and immediately denied the idea that thieves also have a way.
If this is the Lich King's bitter blood plan, then Mina still doesn't know whether this Lich King is a brain-dead or a masochist, after all, self-destructing the realm, this kind of thing is not something normal people would do at all.
Shui Nai and the thief also had a way and didn't say much in private chats, after all, the most direct way was to ask directly.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door, and then the door was opened from the inside.
"Come, come in!" Marshal Lyken already knew that there was someone outside, and through his own sense of the fluctuations in Mizuna's magical power, he could also know the identity of the comer.
The old mage's room is large, and there is a study and a back room, but the layout here is not fancy at all, and all the decorations are very simple.
However, Minai found that there were no less than a dozen magic arrays in this room at work.
If someone dares to break through, and the strength is not too strong, then I am afraid that before they can enter, they will be directly bombarded into slag by these magic arrays.
Mina, they all know that this is Marshal Ryken's protection of the old mage. To be honest, now this old mage has no other self-protection ability except for the various props on his body.
That's why Farr has always been by his side to protect him.
Now the old mage was sitting on a chair in the study, holding a cup of hot tea that was emitting steam, and he looked calm and relaxed, which was very different from Marshal Lyken, who was frowning sadly.
"Say it! Do you have something to do with me? The old mage asked faintly, holding the tea.
"Uh......" Mina was also a little speechless at this time, if Marshal Laiken was not there, he would have directly collected the debt.
And Mina also knew that the old mage must have known his intentions, but he didn't know what he was thinking.
However, Mina's reaction was not slow, he knew that it would not be reasonable to propose any task reward to the old mage now, but he couldn't help but say it.
"That's right, we want to know about the Lich King, so that our president can lay out the plans for the future."
"The Lich King's situation? We don't know about that, because they haven't come back yet, but now we can't pay attention to him. Alas, it was really a wave that did not settle, and a wave rose again. When Marshal Lyken heard this, he replied bitterly.
At this time, Shui Nai also found that Marshal Laiken actually had a faint smell of herbs on his body, and his chest was slightly bulging.
"Marshal, I wonder what worries you?" The thief also asked almost instinctively in the tone of taking the task.
Howard...... Breaking free from the control of our empire, we are now declaring independence in our own holy city. As a state, a small part of the territory of the human empire is already under his control. Alas, it is clear that as long as we go to the next city, we can push this line of defense into the undead empire, but something happened at this juncture. Alas! Laiken said with a sigh.
Hearing the news, Zuna and the thief also had a way, looking at each other, but they didn't receive any news.
"When was this happening?" Mina also asked worriedly.
"I also just received the news that while we were ambushing the Lich King, Howard suddenly sent a message to the Human Empire, asking us to assist them in arresting the blasphemer as the first new pope of the Holy Empire." Marshal Ryken glanced at the old mage and Mina, and the look in his eyes clearly told them, "You are his target."
"Holy Empire? He's not going to be emperor himself! Seeing that the old mage didn't react much at all, Mina knew that he already knew the news.
"Well, the first pope and the emperor are temporarily held by him at the same time."
The human empire's reaction was...... "The thief also has to ask, if they really let this Rausch Holy Empire run rampant, then they are not unlucky!"
"It's impossible for us to let him divide our territory, so our king asks us to go south directly after dealing with the Lich King, annihilate this rebel army, and return us to a clean rear." Marshal Lyken said categorically, and at the same time his tone was full of anger and resentment.
Obviously, the opportunity to destroy the Undead Empire is in front of you, but something like this happened, and all the deployments of their military headquarters were wasted.
"Then the war on the side of the Undead Empire ......" Minai was worried about this, if the frontline military strength here was empty because of Howard's bastard gang's affairs, then it would be impossible for them to hold on any longer.
Without the support and support of NPC forces, players simply don't have the ability to gain a foothold on this front line.
"Let's keep it as it is, but we can't afford to launch a counteroffensive, so we can only maintain this balance, and wait until we annihilate Howard, and then we will think about it in the long run."
"Laiken, don't underestimate Howard, although his actions are indeed a bit of a danger to others, and he does things by unscrupulous means, but since he dares to be a careerist, he naturally has that strength, otherwise, his ambition will not be able to go this far, so you must pull it to the level of your rival, otherwise, you may lose in his hands."
"This ...... Teacher, you're right, I'm the one who underestimates the enemy. Laiken thought about it, and began to think back to his understanding of Howard one by one, as the old mage said, this Howard is actually not simple, just he can build the City of Holy Light, and he wants to establish the Holy Light Empire, and there are so many people who support him. In this aspect alone, he was ashamed of himself.
"Actually, I'm more worried about Howard's aftermath now." The old mage put down the teacup in his hand, and Mina naturally picked up the purple clay pot on the table and added hot tea for him and Laiken.
"You should know that after Huo Hua left the Holy Light Sect this time, he actually didn't bring many people with him, at least this kind of people basically can't have the strength to build. Country. But not only did he do it, but he did it so openly, which is not in line with Howard's personality. Then there is only one reason, that is, he has the power that does not come from the Human Empire, so he is not afraid of the counterattack of the Human Empire. The old mage first moistened it with hot tea, and then analyzed it quietly.
"Could it be that he is a spokesperson?" Just when everyone was quiet, Mina suddenly thought of the Lich King.
He knew that the reason why the Lich King dared to start a war was because he was favored by the dark god and had the powerful power to command the dark camp. If the Lich King hadn't gotten this power, I'm afraid he wouldn't have dared to start a war, at least before, he had been developing underground battles, otherwise he would weaken the strength of the Human Empire.
"The response is fast!" After glancing at Mina, the old mage took a sip of tea and said, "He did get instructions from the God of Light, although I don't know if he really became the spokesperson, but one thing I can be sure of is that the God of Light is finally going to intervene." Therefore, if we really fight with Howard and the others, I am afraid that we will not be able to withstand the attacks of both the dark camp and the god of light, and then ......."
The old mage's words stopped here, but everyone here knew that this result would probably be the end of the defeat of the Human Empire.
"Then teacher, what is your opinion......" Laiken heard his teacher analyze the current situation so calmly, and knew that he must have his own plan.
"Now there is one thing that must be guaranteed, that is, the Lich King must die, and then we may ignore the affairs of this undead empire. After all, the territory of the Empire of the Undead is no longer suitable for us, and it can only be ruled by the undead. When the old mage said this, his eyes were fixed on Lyken's complexion.
And just as he thought, Marshal Lycan, who heard this, had a slightly worse complexion, and his brows were even more furrowed.
"Teacher, I'm afraid this is inappropriate." Rykan looked at the old mage and said with some puzzlement.
The land of the Empire of the Undead originally belonged to the Human Empire, but because the dark forces did not hesitate to sacrifice dozens of high-level necromancers in order to get this springboard, they used the darkness to pollute this piece of land.
Since then, the Empire of the Dead, a land that originally belonged to humans, has been lost.
Since then, the Human Empire and the Undead Empire have also been in a state of fire, and all the soldiers and marshals of the Human Empire are determined to recover this land.
"Teacher, do you want Nabi to take control of the Undead Empire?" However, Minai agrees with the old mage's plan, he has been to the Empire of the Undead and knows some of the situation there.
As the old mage said, there is no suitable place for the creatures of the Holy Light camp to survive, and the ubiquitous dark energy, for creatures without dark physique, is always eroding their bodies and constantly assimilating their souls, and this is the origin of the dark human race.
"Nabi? Teacher, you want to establish a pro-human empire of the undead country, but I'm afraid it's not easy, after all, the undead clan itself has a feud with us, this ......"
"Lycan, you haven't been to the Undead Empire, so you don't know, but not everyone there is willing to fight against us humans. There are many people who just want to keep their current lives, but if we really push them to a dead end, then they can only be our enemies in order to protect themselves. ”
Although the old mage hadn't been to the Undead Empire for a long time, with his previous knowledge, he knew that the people in the Undead Empire were not of the same mind, at least he was not hindered in the Undead Empire because of this, but met a group of friends who were all fighting for magic all their lives.
And when the old mage persuaded Marshal Lyken to say a few words for Nabi in front of the human emperor, Mina and the others began to discuss their plans in a private chat.
Originally, they just came to get the task reward, but they didn't expect to get so much information that has not yet been announced, which is more valuable than any reward.
It's just that this kind of information is a bit of a chicken for these two idle players, but the iron peak and unscrupulous profiteers behind them can magnify the value of this information by thousands.
"Okay, I'll try." Marshal Lyken could naturally think that once this plan succeeded, the benefits would be much better than leading people to occupy it himself, but he had always fought all his life to recover the undead empire, and now he listened to his teacher's opinion, but he did not approve of recovering by force, which made him feel a little uncomfortable, so he behaved listlessly.
