Chapter 143, The Lich Appears on the Third Level of the Necropolis
Outside the Cemetery of the Dead.
The legion led by Christian has cleared away the undead on the periphery.
The peripheral undead army 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, while the Black Warrior is restrained by the War Wizard.
Especially the commander who leads the war priests is an archangel.
When Christian launched an attack towards the necropolis under the protection of the two flanking legions of Brienne and Assis.
The undead army that came to stop them was completely suppressed.
The ghoul army was the largest in number. In the first wave of attacks, they encountered Brienne's demon knights on the left wing. Under the violent impact, they only lasted a few minutes before the entire army was burned to death by the terrifying magic flames. Black and gray.
As for the Gargoyle Legion, which was an aerial combat force, when they tried to support the Ghouls, they were stopped by the Griffin Knights as expected.
The explosive swordsmanship of the sword gryphon knights commanded by Assis caused these undead legions with high armor to be beaten and retreated as soon as they met!
The last black warrior, the skeleton mage, and the largest skeleton army were blocked by Christian.
In a hand-to-hand encounter, the Black Warrior and the Skeleton Mage first discovered that the opposing vanguard was a group of heavily armored units wearing heavy armor, holding iron shields, and wielding flails.
Directly place the two skeleton mage groups in front, because mages are the most resistant to heavy armor.
But when he saw a ball of holy light rising from these heavily armored units, roaring to purify evil, the commanding black warrior realized in horror.
These are a bunch of barbarians from the Holy Temple!
And he is a priest who can fight better than the paladin.
The entire skeleton mage group was wiped out the moment the War Priest appeared.
Later, the Black Warrior discovered that there was actually an angel with wings behind these war priests!
The instinctive fear caused the leader of the Black Warriors to directly order to escape!
The last main army of the undead was almost defeated at the first touch.
The defeated undead fled madly towards the necropolis.
At this time, Christian, who was commanding the main force of the Chinese army, discovered that the undead were about to retreat.
Christian makes bold interjections.
He led the Plantagenet Guardian Knight from the side to the entrance of the Cemetery of the Dead.
Here, the undead army trying to escape back to the necropolis was intercepted.
Under attack from front and back.
The fleeing undead army did not last long before being burned into a pile of dregs by Harold, who was catching up.
At this moment, in front of the necropolis, Christian's two legions joined forces.
The entrance to the Necropolis of the Dead was already open to them.
The entrance to the Cemetery of the Dead at this time.
Christian did not order an immediate attack inside the Cemetery of the Dead, but chose to rest and recuperate the troops temporarily.
Waiting for Vanas to return information after entering the necropolis.
Vanas has camouflage skills and has sneaked into the necropolis to detect intelligence.
Just when the two commanders Brienne and Assis came to join them.
Vanas also brought out the information from the Cemetery of the Dead.
"Waiting for you Vanas!"
"What's going on in the Cemetery of the Dead now!"
Christian asked.
Vanas quickly walked over and drew a simple diagram on the ground.
"This is the general structure of the Necropolis of the Dead."
"The area we see outside now is the above-ground structure of the Cemetery of the Dead."
"This is the entrance, surrounded by a raised low wall."
"The large area around the necropolis is a land of bones filled with undead magic."
"After we enter, we will be eroded by the aura of the dead, and our speed and perception will be reduced."
"After a soldier dies in battle, the aura of the dead will be enhanced, and the corpse will immediately transform into a ghoul."
"If a high-level unit dies, it will be transformed into a high-level undead black warrior."
"When I just came out of the necropolis, I only found some skeleton necromancers. They are constantly summoning skeleton knights and low-level skeleton soldiers in the land of bones."
"And some of the remaining black warriors are hiding under the necropolis."
"This is the approximate strength of the necropolis on the surface."
After a pause, Vanas continued.
"But this does not mean that the undead in the necropolis have only this small force left."
"Because this is just the power of the surface."
"The necropolis is divided into two structures: above ground and underground."
"The above-ground structure is simple, but the underground structure is very complex."
"I ventured deep underground and have obtained the structure beneath the Cemetery of the Dead."
"Underground, there are three levels of the Necropolis of the Dead."
"This layer near the surface is the legion from the previous cemetery of the undead, mainly the black warriors."
"After we attacked the Necropolis of the Dead, these black warriors went underground."
"Some skeleton mages were also taken away together."
"There are not many, but the Black Warrior has the ability to transform corpses into undead."
"At the same time, the first floor is not large and is not suitable for too many soldiers to enter the battle."
"I recommend using War Priest."
Having said this, Varnas paused and looked at Christian.
Seeing that he didn't comment, he continued.
"The second underground level is mainly occupied by corpse witches and the abomination they create."
"The Corpse Witch is a mage unit, and the long-range curse is very powerful."
"Abomination is a collection of undead evil thoughts."
"The physical body is very powerful."
"If we attack the second floor by force, I'm afraid there will be more casualties in the face of the cooperation between the two."
"These two floors are roughly the main force of the Cemetery of the Dead."
Christian asked after hearing this.
"What about the third floor?"
"There are no undead troops stationed there?"
Vanas shook his head.
“The third underground floor is a little weird!”
"It doesn't seem like a native unit from the Cemetery of the Dead, but rather like it comes from outside."
"Because I found the Lich and the Death Knights inside."
"But the lich seems to be in a strange state, lying in an ice coffin."
"The number of Death Knights is not large, only about three hundred."
"They look more like Lich guards."
"It has nothing to do with the necropolis."
After Vanas finished speaking, Christian pondered for a moment and said.
"Lich?"
"Liches in the Old World era were all transformed from magicians after death."
"At that time, in order to pursue unlimited lifespan, some magicians allowed themselves enough time to study magic."
"We have developed a way to make ourselves immortal."
"Create a soul box from precious metals."
"As the natal vessel of the Lich."
"As long as the soul box is not destroyed, the lich can be reborn indefinitely!"
"At the beginning, the magician who transformed into a lich was really obsessed with studying magic, but as time went on, it became more and more intense."
"With no other desires, the lich's psychology began to gradually become distorted."
"The study of magic is becoming increasingly taboo."
"In the end, disaster was caused. 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. The terrifying undead plague swept across Middle-earth, directly destroying the originally powerful The Empire of Middle-earth collapsed. ”
"If the Holy Temple hadn't been born out of nowhere!"
"With the sacrifice of 30,000 holy warriors in exchange for the opportunity to kill the Lich King, the entire world fell, and there was no more glorious era of the Old Continent civilization."
"From now on, the Middle-earth United Temple and the Mage Association have classified lichs as undead evil creatures and have entered the ranks of the Temple to hunt them down."
"And the magician no longer seeks to transform into a lich."
"Especially after entering the Glory Calendar, powerful magicians have more ways and means to extend their lifespan."
"And the long life span makes them tired, and they are no longer interested in transforming lichs."
"Basically, after the beginning of the Glory Calendar, lichs in the Old World era have become extinct."
"How come the lich that disappeared in the Old World appears here in the North?"
"This is so weird."
"Is it caused by the fog?"
Christian said questioningly.
At this time, the angel Harold on the side said.
"Christian, no matter how the lich appears, just kill it."
"Evil must be purified!"
"Furthermore, our research on lichs has been very thorough. It is not difficult to purify them. We only need to destroy his soul box."
"You haven't forgotten the Holy Temple magic of Soul Fixing Needle, have you!"
Christian nodded.
"Every temple must learn the spells specifically targeted at the Lich Soul Box!"
"How could I forget!"
Harold replied: "That's good!"
"As long as we enter the necropolis and blow up the lich's body."
"Then use the soul-fixing needle. Even if the lich has a soul box, the soul-fixing needle can cause his soul box to self-destruct."
Christian agrees with this.
"Harold, you are right. The Lich's soul box technology is not a powerful technology. There is no need to worry about it at all."
"I'm just not sure of the strength of this lich."
"If it is a lich from the Old World era, it is basically a semi-god-level strength."
"Once awakened, it will be a devastating disaster!"
At this time Vanas said.
"Probably not, this lich is not that strong."
"Because I saw a contaminated Stone of Holy Light in the hands of a lich."
"I can see that the Holy Light in the Stone of Holy Light has not been completely contaminated."
"There is still a faint power of holy light."
"If the lich has the strength of a demigod."
"The power of Holy Light in the Stone of Holy Light will definitely be completely contaminated, and it is impossible for even a trace to remain."
This was recognized by Christian.
"I have also sensed the power of the Holy Light Stone before."
"You are right, evil creatures like lich cannot suppress the Stone of Holy Light."
"It shows that the strength of the lich is limited."
"Even if he wakes up, he won't be too powerful, at least not with the strength of a demigod."
"As long as he is not a demigod, I am confident that I can kill him!"
Immediately Christian swept across the heroes present.
"Now the information in the Cemetery of the Dead has been discovered."
"The time has come to attack."
"I am ordered by your lord to serve as the central army."
"Now I will deliver the order on behalf of the lord!"
"Braney!"
"Your Demon Knights will clear the way for the Chinese army and sweep away all the undead on the surface of the necropolis."
"Okay!"
"Assis!"
"You lead the gryphon knights to disperse the warning around the necropolis."
"The Necropolis of the Dead will not have only one entrance and exit."
"There must be another channel or teleportation array."
"Whether it's an escape tunnel or a teleportation array, you won't be too far away."
"Once the undead underground is discovered to have escaped."
"You must take action and keep them."
"We must not let the undead escape, especially the lich!"
"Obey!"
Christian then looked at Harold.
"Your Majesty the Archangel."
"You lead the War Priest as the vanguard and sweep away the undead layer by layer."
"And I will lead the Chinese army to follow and support."
"Okay!"
Christian finally said to Vanas.
"We need you to lead the way, Vanas!"
"As commanded."
