Chapter 313 Lich
While the generals guarding the city knew that the situation was over, Viola, who was far behind the army, was observing the resistance on the city wall with a telescope.
"That's almost it. Tell the cavalry troops that they can just harass the enemy a little when they retreat, but there is no need to pursue them deeply."
The gap left intentionally was for the enemy to escape. Viola was not interested in the lives of thousands of defenders in the fortress. Capturing the Watcher's Fortress was the key.
The so-called blowing up the drainage outlet was just a feint. Viola was still planning to get this fortress. Besides, they didn't have enough explosives. The explosion was just the leftover explosive package from the previous gasoline barrel cannon. The power was at most about the same as that of a fireworks bomb.
Of course, you can't let them escape too easily. It's okay to harass them a few times, but don't chase them all the time.
Although it is unlikely, if someone is forced to fight back, it is unnecessary to increase the losses on one's own side.
The messenger trotted away, and Zola stayed by Viola's side like a door god, fearing that the princess would rush up to her on a whim.
The royal family of Avarus is like this. If something happens, they will come to you.
Then Viola said to Aldai next to her:
"Inform Renya and ask her to follow the cavalry to harass the defeated army. Her help is not needed on the city wall for the time being."
The dragon has a strong sense of presence, and with her chasing behind, the defenders will definitely run very fast.
To be honest, it was expected that the siege battle would go like this, but it was also a bit unexpected.
Because the current battle situation was the best result from the previous war game, they didn't think it would go so smoothly at the time, but the result turned out to be even better than expected.
After capturing the Watcher Fortress, the biggest difficulty is to open the city. Not only must it be completed in a short time, but it must also be prepared for the counterattack of the four-nation coalition.
While thinking about what to do next, Aldai suddenly said after sending the message to Bai Long: "It's broken, it's a bit troublesome."
These words made everyone around him startled, wondering why Aldai suddenly said this.
But before she could ask, Aldai raised her staff and pointed it diagonally at the sky.
——Buzz!
A huge buzzing burst into his ears in an instant, and a fierce flash of light erupted about ten meters diagonally above. It looked like a four or five meter long light arrow that was coming at a rapid speed hit that location.
Beams of light circled around like smoke, and the surging magic light made people unable to open their eyes. It was only then that everyone realized that they were being attacked by long-range magic, and Aldai used defensive spells to block it.
After two or three seconds, the light disappeared, and the shield at the front also collapsed.
In the sky, you can see a meteor-like trajectory coming towards the location of everyone at high speed, as if to tear away all the dark clouds floating in the night sky. In the blink of an eye, a shadow wearing a black robe appears appeared above everyone's heads.
Its pale finger bones were exposed, and the eye sockets of the skull under the hood were flashing with needle-like red light. Just looking at each other gave the illusion of being stung.
This is a lich.
Viola immediately drew out her sword and thrust it into the ground.
Almost at the same time, a huge golden aura rose along the ground, like a small church made of light, shining on everyone.
This is the temple technique, a type of divine technique that temporarily turns an area into a temple and can defend a large area.
Considering Viola's importance as the leader of the counterattack and the possibility that the enemy might send assassins to assassinate her, Li Chengqi gave her this magical skill early on.
Even the lich flinched when faced with the divine holy light and drifted back slightly, as if to avoid the light.
As long as they were in the temple, the lich had nothing to do with them, but it was impossible to say how much casualties the lich would cause to the army during this period.
Viola was about to turn around and ask Aldai how to deal with the lich, but when she turned around, Aldai was gone. When she looked up, she saw a buzzing light not far from the lich. Through the portal, Aldai walked out of the portal with her staff, floating in the air opposite the lich.
You see, the royal family of Avarus are so virtuous, and they really dare to do anything if something happens!
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Liches are not just fish. Each of these undead spellcasters who obtain near-eternal life by transforming into undead creatures is quite difficult to deal with. They may plan for decades to deal with difficult enemies. After all, time It’s not a luxury anymore.
Moreover, lichs are all the best in the field of spellcasters, and the minimum standard for transforming lichs is level 50.
Aldai has level 45. The difference seems not big, but in fact the gap is quite big.
Level 50 is called an enemy of 10,000 people. Even if they face an army of 10,000 people, they can retreat calmly even if they cannot defeat them. However, those below level 50 do not have this ability and will still be overwhelmed by the number of people.
To put it more intuitively, if a dragon is an adult, it is the minimum standard of level 50, and a level 50 adult dragon can defeat three young dragons like Rhaena without any problem. But Aldai was not afraid at all. She walked out of the portal and looked directly into the Lich's eyes that were emitting a stinging red light like needlepoints.
"Ales, right? I knew it was you when I saw that wicked robe."
There are also some miscellaneous things hanging on the lich's black robe, such as dried animal internal organs, amber made from living human eyeballs, etc.
"Aldai...you seem to be stronger."
The Lich's voice was hoarse and cold enough to have no emotion:
"What research are you doing during this time? You can actually detect my super long-distance spell."
"But still not as good as you."
The two knew each other and were even considered research partners when they were in the academic city.
Lich Alais is a newcomer who has only become a lich a few years ago. He was originally a dragonborn, so the skull looks more like a lizard's skull.
"I saw your masterpiece. The power of the ship-borne magical convergence cannon is quite amazing, but heat dissipation is still a big problem that cannot be solved."
"Haha, without your help from the material expert, I can only do this."
Although it was a compliment, the Lich's tone was still as unwavering as a machine.
Liches will gradually lose the emotions of living people. Alais was originally an emotionless person, and he became even colder after becoming a lich.
Alais is obsessed with the development of magical technology. When time is no longer a luxury, his desire for research and knowledge has reached its peak. Few people can endure it. The idea of recruiting capable assistants for lich has always been It didn't go well.
Until Aldee shows up.
Aldee's intellectual curiosity was almost endless, and her mobility was also very strong. Most importantly, she was a genius.
Alais once thought he had found a soulmate. If Aldai's level was not enough to meet the basic requirements for transforming into a lich, he would have transformed Aldai long ago.
But no matter how much you admire people, if they have different ideas, they will not be able to cooperate.
Aldai believes that magic technology should be used in people's livelihood to make the world a better place.
Alais believes that magic technology should be most used in the military. Only by ending the situation of the Seven Kingdoms and achieving unification will there be a steady stream of technology and human resources to develop higher-level technologies.
The differences between the two reached an irreconcilable point and they eventually parted ways.
"So, what do you want to do here? I don't think you just came to say hello."
"I am now loyal to the Demon Kingdom of Tandelon. The main purpose is to find out what force defeated the navy. But seeing that Princess Viola is also there, I think the war can be ended in a faster way. What do you think? "
The lich does not consider emotions, but pure reason. Indeed, the simplest and most direct way to end this war is to kill Viola.
As long as she disappears, the resistance of the Avarus Demon Kingdom will also lose its flag, and the war will naturally end.
"Sorry, I don't think so."
"I admit that you have indeed become stronger, but are you sure you can resist me?"
The Lich raised his birch staff with a very obvious threat.
Aldai also raised his staff and faced the lich:
"I might not be able to do it, but I want to try."
The huge blue orb on the staff in her hand lit up with magical light, illuminating the surrounding airspace.
"I gotta say, you're not lucky."
The smell of gunpowder is getting stronger and stronger, and the magic power of both of them is at the limit of its potential.
Fighting is inevitable.
