Chapter 143: The Lich Appears on the Third Floor of the Necropolis

Outside the Undead Cemetery.

The legion led by Christian has cleared the undead on the periphery.

The undead legion on the periphery is mainly composed of ghouls, gargoyles, skeleton mages and some black warriors.

Low-level undead creatures such as ghouls and gargoyles are no match for the two orange legions on the left and right wings.

The quality of the skeleton mage is only purple, and the damage is not high, and the black warrior is restrained by the war wizard.

Especially the commander who leads the war priest is an archangel.

When Christian launched an attack on the cemetery under the protection of the legions on the two wings of Brienne and Asis.

The undead legion that came to stop was completely suppressed.

The ghoul legion has the largest number. In the first wave of attack, they encountered Brienne's demon knights on the left wing. Under the violent impact, they only lasted a few minutes, and the entire legion was burned into black ash by the terrifying magic flames.

As the air combat force, the gargoyle legion was stopped by the griffin knight when trying to support the ghouls.

The sword skills of the sword-type griffin knights of Commander Yasis made these undead legions with high armors defeated one after another as soon as they met!

The last black warrior, with the skeleton wizard and the largest number of skeleton legions, was blocked by Christian.

In close combat, the black warrior and the skeleton wizard first discovered that the vanguard on the opposite side was a group of heavy armor units wearing heavy armor, holding iron shields, and wielding flails.

Directly deploy two skeleton wizard groups to the front, because wizards are the most restrained against heavy armor.

But when seeing a ball of holy light rising from the body of this group of heavy armor units, roaring to purify evil, the commanding black warrior was horrified to find out.

This is a group of barbarians from the temple!

And it is a priest who can fight better than the paladin.

In the short moment when the war priest appeared, the entire skeleton wizard group was wiped out.

Later, the black warrior even discovered that there was an angel with wings behind this group of war priests!

The fear from instinct made the leader of the black warriors directly order to flee!

The last main army of the undead almost collapsed at the first blow.

The defeated undead fled madly towards the cemetery.

At this time, Christian, the commander of the main force of the central army, found that the undead were about to retreat.

Christian boldly inserted.

He personally led the Plantagenet Guardian Knights to penetrate from the side to the entrance of the undead cemetery.

Here, the undead army trying to escape back to the cemetery was intercepted.

Under the pincer attack from front and back.

The fleeing undead army did not last long before Harold, who caught up, burned it into a pile of slag with holy light.

At this moment, in front of the cemetery, the two armies of Christian met up.

The entrance to the undead cemetery was already open to them.

At the entrance of the undead cemetery at this time.

Christian did not order an immediate attack on the interior of the undead cemetery, but chose to temporarily rest the troops.

Waiting for Vanas who entered the cemetery to send back information.

Vanas has camouflage skills and had sneaked into the cemetery to gather intelligence.

Just when the two commanders, Brienne and Asis, came to meet.

Vanas also brought intelligence out of the cemetery.

"I've been waiting for you, Vanas!"

"What's the situation in the cemetery now!"

Christian asked.

Vanas quickly came over and drew a simple map on the ground.

"This is the general structure of the Undead Cemetery."

"The area outside we see now is the ground structure of the Undead Cemetery."

"This is the entrance, and there is a part of the low wall around it."

"This large area around the cemetery is a land of bones filled with undead magic."

"After we go in, we will be eroded by the spirit of the dead, and our speed and perception will be reduced."

"After the soldiers die in battle, the spirit of the dead will be enhanced, and the corpse will be immediately transformed into a ghoul."

"If the dead unit is a high-level unit, it will also be transformed into a high-level undead black warrior."

"When I just came out of the cemetery, I only found a part of the skeleton necromancers, who were constantly summoning the skeleton knights and low-level skeleton soldiers on the bone land."

"And some of the remaining black warriors are hiding under the cemetery."

"This is the general situation of the troops on the surface of the cemetery."

After a pause, Vanas continued.

"But this does not mean that the undead in the cemetery only have this little force left."

"Because this is only the force on the surface."

"The cemetery is divided into two structures, above ground and underground."

"The structure above ground is simple, but the structure underground is very complex."

"I ventured deep underground and have obtained the structure underground in the Undead Cemetery."

"Underground, the Undead Cemetery has a total of three layers."

"The layer close to the surface is the legion on the Undead Cemetery before, mainly the Black Warriors."

"After we attacked the Undead Cemetery, these Black Warriors moved underground."

"We also took some skeleton mages with us."

"There are not many of them, but the black warriors have the skill to transform corpses into undead."

"At the same time, the area of ​​the first floor is not large, and it is not suitable for too many soldiers to enter the battle."

"I suggest using war priests to fight."

At this point, Vanas paused and looked at Christian.

Seeing that he did not express his opinion, he continued.

"The second underground floor is mainly composed of corpse wizards and the abominations they create."

"Corpse wizards are mage units, and their long-range curses are very powerful."

"Abominations are a collection of evil thoughts of the undead."

"The physical strength is very strong."

"If we forcefully attack the second floor, I am afraid that there will be more casualties in the face of the cooperation of the two."

"These two floors are roughly the main forces of the Undead Cemetery."

Hearing this, Christian asked.

"What about the third floor?"

"No undead troops stationed?"

Vanas shook his head.

"The third underground floor is a bit weird!"

"They don't seem to be native units of the Undead Cemetery, but rather from outside."

"Because I found liches and death knights inside."

"But the lich's condition seems a bit weird, lying in an ice coffin."

"The number of death knights is not large, only about 300."

"They look more like lich guards."

"And they have nothing to do with the cemetery."

After Vanas finished speaking, Christian said after a moment of silence.

"Lich?"

"Lich in the Old World era were transformed from dead magicians."

"At that time, some magicians pursued infinite lifespans and gave themselves enough time to study magic."

"They developed a way to make themselves immortal."

"Use precious metals to create a soul box."

"As the lich's life container."

"As long as the soul box is not destroyed, the lich can be reborn infinitely!"

"At the beginning, the magicians who transformed into liches were indeed obsessed with studying magic, but as time went on."

"Without other desires, the lich's psychology began to gradually become distorted."

"The magic they studied became more and more taboo."

"Finally, a disaster was brought about, and the Lich King was born. This was a collection of evil thoughts and the strongest undead unit. Under his leadership, the undead ravaged the world, and the terrifying undead plague swept across Middle-earth, directly causing the once powerful Middle-earth Empire to collapse. "

"If it weren't for the emergence of the Holy Temple!"

"With the sacrifice of 30,000 holy warriors in exchange for the opportunity to kill the Lich King, the whole world would have fallen, and there would have been no glorious era of the Old World civilization."

"From then on, the Middle-earth United Holy Temple and the Mage Association listed the lich as an evil creature of the undead, and entered the ranks of the Holy Temple's hunt."

"And magicians no longer seek to transform into liches."

"Especially after entering the Glory Calendar, powerful magicians have more ways and means to extend their lifespans."

"And the long lifespan makes them feel tired, and they are no longer interested in transforming into liches."

"Basically, after the start of the Glory Calendar, liches in the Old World era have become extinct."

"How could the liches that disappeared in the Old World era appear here in the North?"

"This is really strange."

"Is it created by the fog?"

Christian said with doubt.

At this time, the angel Harold said.

"Christian, no matter how the lich appears, just kill it."

"Evil must be purified!"

"Besides, we have studied the lich thoroughly. It is not difficult to purify them. Just destroy his soul box."

"You haven't forgotten the temple spell of the Soul Needle!"

Christian nodded.

"A spell specifically targeting the lich's soul box. Every temple must learn it!"

"How could I forget it!"

Harold replied: "That's good!"

"As long as we kill our way into the cemetery and blow up the lich's body."

"Then cast the Soul Needle. Even if the lich has a soul box, the Soul Needle can make his soul box self-destruct."

Christian agreed with this.

"Harold is right. The lich's soul box technology is not a powerful technology. There is no need to worry at all."

"I just can't figure out the strength of this lich."

"What if it is a lich from the old world era? It is basically a demigod-level strength."

"Once awakened, it will be a devastating disaster!"

At this time, Vanas said.

"It shouldn't be, this lich is not that strong."

"Because I saw a contaminated Holy Light Stone in the lich's hand."

"I can see that the Holy Light in the Holy Light Stone has not been completely contaminated."

"There is still a faint trace of Holy Light power."

"If the lich has the strength of a demigod."

"The holy light power in the Holy Light Stone will definitely be completely contaminated, and there will not be a trace left."

This statement was recognized by Christian.

"I have also sensed the power of the Holy Light Stone before."

"You are right, evil creatures like liches cannot suppress the Holy Light Stone."

"It shows that the strength of liches is limited."

"Even if he wakes up, he will not be too powerful, at least not as powerful as a demigod."

"As long as he is not a demigod, I am confident that I can kill him!"

Christian immediately swept across the heroes present.

"Now the intelligence inside the Undead Cemetery has been ascertained."

"It's time to launch the attack."

"I have been ordered by the Lord to lead the central army."

"Now I will pass on the order on behalf of the Lord!"

"Brayney!"

"Your Demon Knights will lead the way for the central army and sweep away all the undead on the surface of the cemetery."

"Okay!"

"Asis!"

"You lead the Griffin Knights to disperse the vigilance with the cemetery as the center."

"The Undead Cemetery will not have only one entrance and exit."

"There must be another passage or teleportation array."

"Whether it is an escape passage or a teleportation array, it will not be too far away."

"Once you find the undead escaping from the underground."

"You must take action and keep them."

"Don't let the undead escape, especially the lich!"

"Yes!"

Christian then looked at Harold.

"Your Excellency the Archangel."

"You lead the war priests as the vanguard and sweep the undead layer by layer."

"And I will lead the central army to follow and provide support."

"Okay!"

Finally, Christian said to Vanas.

"We need you to lead the way, Vanas!"

"Yes, sir."

There are not many words, please forgive me, readers.
