King

After making arrangements for his family, Earl Langton walked into a secret room alone. As a long-established noble family, how could it not have some secret methods?

Being unable to stop the front of the orc army does not mean that it cannot cause trouble for the orcs. If you can't survive on your own, you naturally have to try your best to support the enemy.

"Jiejie..."

"After all these years, someone is finally here. You guys from the Lebolon family, maybe your ancestor died early and forgot to tell you about the grudge between me and your family!"

The eerie sound made people's scalp numb. Shadows were flying all over the sky, and the dark wind blew out the oil lamp in Earl Langton's hand.

"I don't need to worry about how my ancestors are doing. I came here this time to see if your lich, who once roamed the continent, has been extinct.

Since you, the old man, are living well, I'm relieved. Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, in short you can go out soon.

The Lebolong family is about to be gone, and the grievances left by the ancestors are naturally not important.

As a junior, I cannot lose my courtesy. I heard that you lich likes killing the most and feeds on devouring blood, so I will give you a blood meal.

Hope you are satisfied.

I have prepared all the materials needed to cast the undead natural disaster for you. There are corresponding formations at multiple nodes in the city.

When I open the seal, you can use it to your heart's content!

It is best to cover the entire city of Bethel to show your great wizard card. It is estimated that if you kill everyone who enters the city, you will be able to regain your body.

Of course, I won’t be able to see it this day. The key to opening the seal has become one with me. The moment I die, it will be the moment you see the light of day again. "

Earl Langton said casually.

It was as if he really didn't care about life and death, but the trace of hesitation in his hands betrayed his inner unwillingness.

If he had a choice, he would never release this old monster. But there is no way, the orc army has already surrounded Bethel City, and reinforcements do not exist at all.

Although the secret passage leads outside the city, it is still unknown whether it can escape the sight of the orcs.

The best way is to make some big noise to attract the attention of the orc army, so that they will not pay attention to the little miscellaneous fish outside.

The lich in front of him is undoubtedly a good chess piece. Once the undead natural disaster breaks out, the orc army that enters the city will surely suffer heavy losses.

Now a lot of orc troops have entered the outer city. According to his estimation, this wave can kill at least thousands of orc elites.

The next thing is the problem between the orcs and this lich. No matter who wins or loses, it has nothing to do with him, a dead man.

"Young man from the Leboron family, I know that you just want to use my power to avenge you, but I like this gift.

If only your ancestors could be so enlightened. Why bother going to this point?

That's all, as long as I can regain my freedom, the grudges between us will be wiped out. As long as I don't meet you in the future, I won't kill your descendants. "

The old lich promised generously.

"If you don't encounter me, I won't kill you." If this can be considered a promise, then people all over the continent can probably make this promise to their enemies.

"Then, on behalf of the juniors, I would like to thank you for your kindness! I still have something to do, so I will take the first step."

Earl Langton responded angrily.

Dealing with these dark creatures with twisted hearts is just tiring. Everyone believes in completely different ideas, and it is difficult to communicate normally.

"Young man from the Lebolon family, don't leave in a hurry! I think your young man has amazing talents and amazing bones, and is the most suitable to be a lich.

How about you let the old man be your guide, help you complete the transformation into a lich, and live your life from now on..."

Before the old lich could finish speaking, Earl Langton turned around and left the secret room. Ordinary people don't know what a lich is, how can a noble like him not know it?

It seems that the lifespan is long. As long as the life box is not found, one can easily live for a thousand years, and even longer is not impossible.

But there is no free lunch in the world. If you can increase your life span by a thousand years for nothing, there will probably be lichs everywhere on the continent.

In the face of life, morality is never worth mentioning. In order to extend their lives, the elderly nobles would do anything.

The crux of the problem is that in the process of converting a living being into a lich, not only the essence of life changes, but even the soul will be distorted.

No one has ever been able to retain everything they had in life after being transformed into a lich. Even if part of the memory can be retained, it will not play any substantial role.

He is no longer himself, so such immortality naturally has no meaning.

Returning to the military camp, Earl Langton ordered coldly: "Pass the order and distribute the holy water to every soldier.

Tell the soldiers that the Lord of the Morning is with us. Even if you die in battle, your soul will enter the Kingdom of God after death.

If the orcs continue to attack tomorrow, then fight them! "

How can we release an old lich without making some preparations in advance? It's enough to just follow his men and lead everyone to death. It would be too much to allow everyone's souls to have no peace after death.

…

"Brother, we..."

Before the boy could finish speaking, the older young man interrupted softly: "From now on, don't talk. If you have any questions, wait until you are in a safe place."

My younger brothers and sisters are too young and not sensible yet. Uncle, could you please use magic to put them into a comatose state, so as not to alarm the strong orcs above. "

The typical tension is too much. In a long and narrow secret room, the probability that there happens to be a strong orc above the head is not high.

Even if they happened to meet him, with the commotion in the military camp, the probability of being able to detect the movement below was very slim.

But these are extraordinary times, and the Leberon family's hope lies in this secret passage. There is nothing wrong with being careful.

The old man nodded slightly and released a sleeping spell.

There were only a few little ones making trouble, the rest were all adults, and all of them behaved extremely quietly.

Everyone was holding weapons and wearing armor. If not for the sad expressions on their faces, no one would have known that this was a fleeing team.

They advanced quietly along the secret passage. Half an hour later, the sound of rushing water rang in everyone's ears.

Looking around, it turned out to be an underground river. Obviously, the ancestors of the Leblon family put a lot of effort into selecting the site when they built the Bethel Fortress.

The existence of underground rivers not only solves the water source problem in the city, but also serves as a golden channel for escape.

If we didn't have this thing and relied on man-made tunnels to avoid the orc army outside the city, we would probably have to travel dozens of miles.

A purely manual excavation project of this magnitude would probably not be completed without decades of effort.

"Let's take a rest first. The outlet of this underground river is not far away. It is estimated that it is only about ten miles away from the orc camp.

If you go out now, it will be difficult not to be discovered by the enemy's scouts.

There are at least three thousand-man eagle troops in the orc camp. Once their traces are exposed, even the gryphon cavalry will have a hard time evading their pursuit.

Let's wait for your father's signal first. After he finds a way to hold back the orc army, we can take a boat out from here to break out and leave. "

Following where the old man pointed, there were specially-made canoes and boats. It's just that the distance between these ship sides and the water is very short, only a dozen centimeters.

Once one sits on it, the distance to the water becomes even narrower. If a fat person goes up, he might sink directly.

The internal structure of the observation boat is not for people to sit on it, but for people to lie in it.

No matter how you look at it, don't pinch it. It gives the impression that this is not prepared for the living, but more like it is prepared for the dead.

There is only one explanation for this unique design: the space above the water surface of the underground river is very limited, so the height of the ship's side can only be lowered.

In the event of a collision, these escaping canoes can instantly become their coffins.

Suddenly a water monster appeared on the river. He glanced at everyone, as if he was confirming something, and after a while he slowly said:

"There is nothing wrong with the bloodline, but why has your Leboron family declined so quickly? It has only been a mere hundred years, but it's time to run for your life in a hurry.

Judging from the strength of you juniors, it shouldn't be difficult to keep the family business. Is it possible that the world outside is changing so fast? "

Not only is it not weak, this team of more than a hundred people is a considerable force anywhere.

Except for children, the weakest remaining ones are intermediate magicians. Most of the guards have the strength of high-level knights, and there are even more than a dozen silver knights and gold knights.

The three old men headed by them are either magisters or earth knights. Wherever you put it, it will be a strong one.

"Senior Kelondo, Bethel City has been invaded by orcs. The Leberon family has been defeated, and now they can only survive by cutting off their tails.

Leblon family, the next head of the family, Anthony, please give us a ride for the sake of your ancestors! "

While he was talking, the young man had already stepped forward and bowed down to the monster.

"Okay, Anthony boy. Don't do these useless things for me. I have made an agreement with your ancestors, so it can certainly be counted.

But let’s start with the ugly words. I’m only responsible for seeing you out of here. What happens next is your own business.

You should resolve the grievances between humans and orcs by yourselves, and don’t try to involve me.

When you decide to leave, just lie down on the boat and I will take you away. "

After saying that, regardless of whether everyone agreed or not, the shiny monster dived directly into the water and showed its attitude with practical actions.

…

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Accompanied by bursts of killing cries, the Bethel defenders who fought bloody battles finally reached the brink of collapse. Watching the soldiers fall one after another around him, Earl Langton slowly drew out his sword.

However, they did not rush to attack, but slowly retreated with their soldiers, deliberately introducing the orc army into the inner city.

Although the legendary Lich King was powerful, he had been sealed away for countless years and could still retain some of his strength. Earl Langton was unsure.

The power of the undead natural disaster mainly depends on the strength of the caster.

Even if many small auxiliary formations were arranged in advance, no one could tell how many of them would still be effective due to the war.

In order to make his death more valuable, Earl Langton decisively chose to resist step by step, luring the orc army to pursue him.

Without any surprise, Earl Langton's dazzling armor quickly attracted the attention of an orc officer, who personally led the army in pursuit.

"Humans, please surrender quickly. I can guarantee that you will not become food after you surrender!"

Faced with the surrender of the orc officer in front of him, Earl Langton laughed. If the orcs' promises were reliable, sows would be able to climb trees.

Even if the orc really accepted the capture, he would not surrender at this time. If he really wanted to survive in the world, he would have escaped from the secret passage long ago. Why should he stay here until now?

"kill!"

While speaking, Earl Langton had already rushed out with his sword in hand, showing his attitude with actual actions.

After hacking to death more than a dozen Ursine soldiers in a row, he finally angered the Ursine master hidden in the team and struck directly at Earl Langton with a sharp blow.

He could have avoided it, but Earl Langton, who had long been determined to die, was waiting for this moment. Instead of avoiding it, he took the initiative to meet him.

The body was separated in an instant. At the moment of his death, the battlefield, which was originally full of blood, suddenly felt a gust of wind.

The temperature in the city began to plummet, and the hot sweat on the forehead suddenly turned into cold sweat. The strange changes made countless people feel hesitant.

Before anyone could react, the originally bright sky suddenly turned dark. Countless corpses that had fallen slowly began to move.

Looking at the rising black mist in the sky, the orc priests fighting outside the city suddenly exclaimed: "Canopy of the Undead!"

Without any hesitation, he hurried straight to the Bear King's camp.

"Your Majesty, quickly order the troops in the city to withdraw. Someone is releasing a natural disaster of the undead. Judging from the scope of the undead canopy, the caster must have at least the level of a great mage.

Coupled with the multiple amplification formations deployed by the enemy in the city, this undead natural disaster may be able to awaken all the soldiers who died in the city.

It's too late to stop it now. Only..."

I haven't had time to say the next words. The originally rising black mist suddenly solidified, and the natural disaster of the undead was successfully cast.

As the orc priest expected, except for the soldiers carrying holy water, all the corpses in the city stood up. They all picked up weapons from the ground and pointed their butcher knives at their former comrades.

A new round of melee began. The orc officers and soldiers who had just won a great victory were stunned by the scene in front of them.

…

Hudson, who was leading the army to Flying Bear's Castle, was admiring the scenery along the way.

There was no other way. With the newly formed Twenty-Third Army Corps, which was holding them back, the marching speed could not be increased, so naturally it would distract him.

This was one of the reasons why he asked for the magic crystal cannon from the bureaucrats in the Logistics Department. After all, the marching speed has been slowed down by his teammates, and if he wants to go down further, there is not much room for reduction.

"Report!"

"Your Excellency, Legion Commander, a black cloud appears in the northeast. It is suspected that someone is using the Undead Scourge!"

The voice of the messenger pulled Hudson back from his fun.

"The natural disaster of the undead" is not a gadget. Although it is not as powerful as the legend, it has the power to destroy the world, but its lethality and destructive power are still amazing.

It doesn't appear often, mainly because of the harsh conditions for casting spells. Not only does it require the consumption of a large amount of precious materials, but also a suitable casting location must be selected.

Generally, areas that have just experienced a war, or are in an ongoing war, are the most suitable for casting the Undead Scourge.

Opening the map and checking the location, Hudson quickly determined the location of the battlefield - near Bethel Fortress.

Calculating the distance, the distance between the two sides is at least fifty or sixty miles. Even if he wanted to go over and help, it was too late in time.

"Got it! Send someone to continue to pay close attention. Don't get too close to Tan Ma for the time being."

Hudson said solemnly.

Bethel Fortress is not far from Flying Bear Castle, only forty miles away. If something goes wrong in Bethel City, the pressure on Flying Bear Castle will be great.

If the orcs are crazy and like to push them all the way, the Flying Bear's Castle will be the next target.

There's no point regretting it. There are many military orders on the battlefield. Since the task is coming, it must be carried out.
