Chapter 477 Destroying the Phylactery
"This time, he really went too far."

"He was doing all kinds of tricks before, but we all turned a blind eye..."

"It seems that it is indeed our appeasement that caused him some unnecessary misunderstandings."

Compared to Antonia's rage, the other archmages were calm.

To them, the tragedies and crises were just a few lines of description on paper.

The power of the Archmage does not come from the support of the common people, but it is inevitable that he is like a wealthy landowner who hates jackals, tigers and leopards and has to spend money to repair sheepfolds.

Someone else said: "It is easy to get rid of Ren, but who will be responsible for the Dolan Kingdom?"

Antonia said: "There are so many great mages on the committee, can't we just pick one or two to replace them?"

"Financially..."

"Also try to adjust as much as possible. We cannot be controlled by Ren, otherwise he will take advantage of us."

Antonia said coldly.

But he did not destroy the thing immediately. Instead, he waited until the committee dispatched troops and made sure that the replacement candidates were in place before starting.

He needs to use those demons to consume part of the undead army.

Antonia immediately summoned the guards: "Go and take out Ren's lich phylactery."

This thing looks inconspicuous, but in fact it has been subjected to a variety of high-level secret techniques, and its material is also a solid object that is the latest masterpiece of alchemy.

"We're getting ready as quickly as possible."

"Oh well!"

This thing is placed in the Atrein Mage Tower, and no outsider can steal it. Now, Antonia keeps it in person, making it even more foolproof.

When encountering such a thing, I did not communicate with him or investigate and collect evidence, but took action directly...

If this legion cannot be handled well, it may cause quite a disaster.

Even we are also vigilant and wary of Ren.

During the few days of waiting, Antonia thought and considered repeatedly, and she felt more and more that Roland had foresight.

"Facts have proven that people who are not of my race must have different minds.

It is the core of the wizard's life, the phylactery that contains the essence of the soul.

But, you can only be considered unlucky..."

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Soon, a simple-looking treasure box was brought over.

Everyone was shocked, knowing that the legendary mage was really angry.

In addition, the next round of abyssal erosion is imminent.

After comprehensively considering the pros and cons of all parties, these rotating committee members finally began to tend to get rid of Renn.

After these years of fighting, the number of soldiers and horses under Renn has increased instead of decreasing. This is the advantage possessed by the undead army.

It was as if he had seen the answer to the future.

Of course Antonia wouldn't know that it wasn't that Roland had seen the future, but that history kept repeating itself over and over again, often with striking similarities.

Human nature has not changed, so basically what people can do has not changed much.

But in any case, the investigation team secretly headed to the Kingdom of Dolan has set off, and preparations to take over the war situation in Rennes are also in progress.

Soon, the expected evil disaster came as expected.

All parties were nervously preparing for war and began to intercept as they did in the past.

……

"Your Excellency, the undead army under Ren is at war with the demons and has entered a fierce stage!"

In the mage tower, in the communication array, news from the frontline battlefield came back.

"Okay, we can start."

Antonia had a look of helplessness and regret on her face.

Renn is a genius mage born in Atrein, and he doesn't want to get into such a situation.

Antonia originally thought that by treating Lich Wren like a high-level mage in the past and giving him great trust and freedom, she might be able to restore him. But he didn't expect that the lich was a lich.

After being transformed into an undead creature, even the nature of life has been completely changed, and all past attempts to win over and assimilate have become stupid and ridiculous.

"such a pity……"

Antonia sighed softly, took out a staff, held it in the middle with both hands, and chanted a spell.

After a moment, a white light enveloped it, filled with an oppressive aura.

He pointed the tip of his staff at the lich's phylactery.

Level 9 "Mage Disintegration"!
The power of this spell lifted the protection attached to the Lich's phylactery and also quickly eliminated its magical properties.

When the light dissipated, the guard waiting next to him suddenly knocked down the long-handled war hammer in his hand.

With a snap, the life box shattered.

There was a ball of brilliance inside that spread out like smoke, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

……

The frontline battlefield is where fierce battles take place.

White waves whizzed like magic missiles, pouring on the demon charging from the opposite side.

Blood splattered and screams spread.

These white waves are bone spears condensed from the bone powder of the underworld. Under the influence of magic power, they form sharp spears.

They can be called heavy bed crossbows with low magic level. Under the group spell casting of a group of skeleton mages and necromancer subordinates, they can be regarded as overwhelming.

The next moment, among the recently dead demons, the bodies of many bulged and their flesh exploded.

The bones and internal organs exploded in all directions with a loud bang under the influence of powerful magical energy.

The already crowded formation became even more chaotic.

The demons, big and small, were running around without any structure, trampling on each other, and some were even so frightened that they started to attack friendly forces without explanation.

It was a classic necromancy spell, "Corpse Explosion".

Small bombs made from the flesh and blood of corpses can be as powerful as level 3~5 spells.

When fighting against those biological armies with emotions and intelligence, it can even have the effect of intimidating and reducing the enemy's morale.

Ren stood on a high platform not far from the battlefield and watched this scene from a distance.

Suddenly, his body shook violently without warning.

The fire of the soul in his eyes quickly dimmed as if being blown by a strong wind.

This thing was originally a projection of the essence of the soul, presented through something similar to long-distance entanglement.

In other words, his "body" is not here, but in the phylactery.

If you only attack from the outside, no matter how many times you destroy the corpse, he will be able to regenerate near the phylactery after a period of time.

But at this moment, Antonia directly destroyed the vital phylactery.

The lich, whose strength was comparable to that of an archmage, immediately collapsed without the ability to fight back.

Along with the surge of magical power, the bones on the body ignited with faint blue flames and began to burn.

There were some mid-to-high-level mages from Atrein nearby, who were originally here to cooperate in the battle and monitor the movements of the undead army. When they saw this scene, they all looked shocked.

But before they could fall into chaos, an archmage wearing a gorgeous robe appeared with his team of mages and quickly took over the situation.

"Your Excellency, everything is going according to plan."

In the mage tower, Antonia rubbed her eyes, showing a rare hint of exhaustion.

He had no regrets about executing Ren, he was just worried about the trouble that would follow.

At this moment, the guards waiting in the communication room soon received unexpected news through the tower spirit.

"No, sir, the situation has changed!"

"Lord Gallo of the Southwest Front suddenly fainted during the casting process. The army was in chaos and the defense line collapsed!"
