This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 225 The war begins

“You said that the elves and gods asked you to help me?” Amber Xiu felt that he had heard a big joke.

 He is a lich.

The broken skeleton has nothing to do with elves, and may be somewhat comparable to the spider-like drow in the Underdark.

 “Catherine, are you possessed by an evil spirit?” Amber Hew asked.

This evil spirit refers to the evil god. Amber Xiudu suspected that there was an evil **** who took a fancy to Catherine and started to create hallucinations for her. However, illusions are not very effective against elves, and Catherine did not seem to be deceived.

 Catherine was not joking at all, she said seriously: "I have been blessed by the gods, you should know that."

 Speaking of this, Amberxiu's soul turned black with jealousy.

At that time, his teeth were itching with hatred. Unfortunately, he had lived for hundreds of years and had never seen such a reliable blessing or such a generous god.

The God of Alchemy is still Amber Xiu's teacher, but it turns out that he has to spend krypton gold to give him a blessing.

After reciting Corellon's hymn silently for several times, nothing happened. Amberxiu could only say to Catherine: "I guess you are thinking too much. If the elves and gods wanted you to help me, they would have said directly, no need." So roundabout. Aren’t you their favorite voter?”

 Listen, is this human talk?

 This is not normal, very abnormal.

Oracles are never straightforward and clear, and 90% of them are riddles. Only by letting believers guess by themselves can the mystery of the gods be maintained. Amberxiu couldn't figure out for a while whether it was Catherine herself who was special, or whether the elves and gods had a special attitude towards her.

When Catherine said this, Amberxiu couldn't help but look up at the sky. Sure enough, the moon in the sky was a bit ridiculously big, as if it was about to fall down.

 “Straightforward and clear? How straightforward?” Ambrose asked.

There must be some questions here, and we may have to wait for the historian Huggie Stone to give Amber the answer.

Catherine explained: "The blessing I received is that I will not be harmed under the moonlight. Don't you think this blessing is strange? Although it was a blessing given to me by Lady Moon, which is related to her priesthood, I I always feel that this blessing should be used here. Look at the moon in the sky. Even in the desert, it is rare to see such a big moon, as if it is afraid that it cannot illuminate the desert clearly. "

Reminiscent of what Arthur Lane's heroic spirit said, he originally killed the dragon tyrant to fight for all races on the continent, so how could the kingdom he established become a public enemy of all races?

"But this is unreasonable. Why should the elves and gods ask you to help me? If they really want to give me benefits, they can just tell me no?"

Not only did the elves have to guard against them, but even the druids of Emerald Dream Forest were frightened to open the entire forest barrier to prevent the Lions from taking the opportunity to invade.

The reputation of the Llane people has changed, and under the watchful eyes of the Lord of the Dawn, they have become public enemies of all races in the continent?

"Forget it, let's not talk about such meaningless questions. You said you want to help me, is this a mature decision? You are firmly bound to Silvermoon Highgarden, let alone in this timeline, you are still Queen of the elves, even if you have stepped down from the throne, your words and deeds are bound to the elves."

Amberxiu said this, but he was already praying in his heart. What are the prayers of the elves and gods?

“Obviously the people of Llane are believers of the Lord of the Morning. When did the world start to associate Llane with random invasions?”

Of course Amberxiu hoped that Catherine would help, but after getting along for a while, Amberxiu also regarded Catherine as half a friend, and he did not want this silly elf girl to become a sinner of the elves.

That's right, when did the believers of the Lord of the Dawn become the public enemies of the entire continent?

Catherine shook her head and said in a rare firm tone: "I am no longer the little girl I used to be. The gods must have also seen this, so they will no longer speak the oracle as straightforwardly and clearly as before. They are testing me and hoping I can make a mature decision."

Catherine's words made Amberxiu fall into deep thought. This was not a matter of Catherine's personal feelings. Amberxiu felt vaguely that something was wrong, and it was very wrong.

Catherine said: "If it were in the past, I would also think that doing so would be detrimental to Silvermoon Highgarden. After all, Ryan is an ally of the elves. But recently I have thought a lot about the crisis of the elves since the onset of the magic addiction disease until now. It's up to you to solve it in the end. Where is our ally Lane? The elves don't even want them to know about the magic addiction disease, because we are also worried that Lane will take this opportunity to invade Silvermoon Highgarden.

 Catherine recalled it for a moment, and then said: "It's just... just like chatting with friends."

"So, you think Ryan has a problem, so you are ready to stand against Ryan?" Amberxiu asked.

"It's not that simple, but at least I shouldn't stand on Ryan's side unconditionally." Catherine hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "If possible, I will try not to expose my identity to help you, but even if there is exposure, I can convince myself of the risk.”

Amberxiu looked at Catherine, was silent for a long time, and then said "thank you".

 He felt a little regretful that he should not have weaved the future of a social animal for Catherine. Catherine cried miserably in the fate he weaved.

 When the time comes, give her a holiday.

Amber was ready to tell Catherine the good news, but they both turned their heads at the same time and looked towards the end of the desert.

 The night could not block the perception of the two of them, and the Lane army had already appeared on the horizon.

Now is not the time to chat. Amberxiu opened his private space and said to Catherine: "You go in first, and I will ask you for help if necessary."

 Catherine nodded and walked into Amberxiu's private space.

Amber Xiu summoned Naomi in the form of a time dragon and flew into the sky riding a silver dragon.

To Ambrose's surprise, the Silver Moon Knight did not fly into the sky. No Llane appeared in the sky; they all seemed to remain on the ground, marching with the army.     "Playing like this? Then the Dwarf Iron Guards will be miserable."

Just as Amber Xiu sighed with emotion, a bright holy light condensed over the Lion troops.

Amberxiu thought it was the Silver Moon Knight who was about to take action, and thought he could trick him into giving him a sword, but he found that the holy light condensed into the shape of a silver-armored warrior.

 Summon celestial warriors?

This giant of light is almost ten meters tall. Although it is condensed by holy light, its body is lifelike, and you can still see the details of the expression of this celestial warrior.

 At the beginning, three hundred slaves could summon heavenly warriors through faith after two days of training. These were Lane's regular troops, and their piety was naturally much higher.

The celestial warriors condensed with holy light rushed towards the position set up by the dwarf iron guard.

The defenses originally prepared for humans completely lost their meaning in front of the ten-meter-tall celestial warriors. Any low wall, ravine, or trap to stop the horse could be crossed with a slight lift of the leg.

The long sword condensed with holy light slashed across the ground, plowing a deep ravine. Whether it is stone, sand, or steel, it is cut like butter under the cutting of this holy light sword.

The Celestial Warriors charged all the way, as if they wanted to cut the entire position open.

However, the dwarves did not panic. After fighting for such a long time, the dwarf iron guards of Ryan had already seen this trick.

 Dozens of hammers were thrown out, with a strong impact, hitting the heavenly warrior.

The hammer seems to carry the blessing of the earth. When it hits the energy structure of the celestial warrior, it will explode a force like a sandstorm. Dozens of hammers are enough to interrupt the charge of the celestial warrior and cause large cracks in his body.

The Celestial Warrior simply leaned down and swept across the battlefield with his long sword, completely disrupting the defensive position.

 But this warrior of light collapsed completely after the second round of hammer blows, turning into holy light and wandering in the air.

 Lian lost a celestial warrior, and the dwarf's position was destroyed. Most of the dwarf iron guard casualties were lost. It seemed that the Lian people made the profit. The Lane people thought so too, so their troops began to charge.

 What follows is a brutal hand-to-hand combat.

The Dwarf Iron Guards block the front to make room for the spellcasters behind them.

The rays of light from various spells were connected together, shining like fireworks in this desert night, but where these lights and shadows fell, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and it was extremely tragic.

Lane does not have so many fancy spells, most of them are light priests who provide assistance to the warriors in front.

Divine Guidance, Blessing, Chain of Protection, Shield of Protection, Vitality Halo, etc... The white holy light turned into an ocean, covering the bodies of all Ryan warriors, causing each of them to be wrapped in the holy light, stinging people. Can't even open my eyes.

Amberxiu took a look at the battlefield. Even though he was an outsider, he could still see that the dwarves were retreating steadily.

Although the dwarves guarding the city here are all elite, their number is too small, and their military combat effectiveness is not comparable to Ryan's.

The paladin wearing heavy armor stood in front, like an iron can. Various blessings allowed these paladin to resist most spell damage, and the paladin's Holy Slash could cut even steel.

 The integration of offense and defense, coupled with the neat and uniform camp, makes it look much more professional than the dwarves.

On the side of Manna City, only the dwarf iron guards could maintain their formation. The other mercenaries who had been forcibly recruited had become a mess and began to be forced back step by step by Ryan's army.

Amberson watched carefully. This was the first time he saw Ryan's large army fighting on the battlefield.

In the last exercise, Amber Xiu relied entirely on deception to lead the paladins into a trap. He never saw them performing at their best. Looking at it now, I just feel my scalp is numb. Ryan is just like the Silver Moon Knight. The Silver Moon Knight is stronger than the standard at the legendary level, while Ryan is beyond the standard in the Nine Kingdoms.

The dwarves cannot hold out for long in a frontal battle, and the legends of the dwarf kingdom can only start to join the battle to block the offensive of the Lion Army.

 Amberson has been hovering in the sky, looking for his only opponent.

Soon, Amber Xiu felt a dangerous breath coming from below.

A silvery-white moonlight flew out from Ryan's army and flew toward the sky.

Amberxiu was shocked. This old man, instead of killing Manna City, would he first kill himself flying in the sky? !

Amberxiu didn't hesitate and controlled Naomi to avoid it, but he was surprised to find that Naomi couldn't outrun the sword light, and Yuehua's sword seemed to have firmly locked onto Amberxiu's aura. , and can follow him around corners.

 “Holy shit!”

Amberxiu couldn't help but curse, quickly opened the private space, and caught Catherine out.

Catherine, who had not yet reacted, was about to speak and asked if she needed help, but was thrown out by Amber Xiu.

Yuehua struck Catherine directly with her sword!
