This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 331 The chaos in Liuyan City

 It took three days for the fire in Liuyan City to be completely extinguished. The alchemy bomb material used by Amber Xiu was specially made and added with a very strong accelerant. The flames generated after the explosion continued to burn and were difficult to extinguish even with water.

Rachel Angelo didn't sleep for three whole days, not only because of the fire that was difficult to extinguish, but also because several undead soldiers appeared one after another in Flowing Flame City.

Every time he is transformed into an undead, it is a heavy hammer that hits the hearts of the people in Liuyan City.

This kind of undeath without warning is a heavy blow to everyone who believes in the Holy Light.

 In the hearts of all Lane people, the undead are the ugliest and evil race in the world. The Lane people regard the undead as their lifelong enemies before they reach adulthood.

 At the beginning, Gareth killed Leanne, and the army of Apoptotic Rose undead besieged the imperial capital. These were the "pillars of shame" that the people of Leyne were familiar with.

When the Lanes were young, nine adults would imagine that they could kill these undead, washing the shame of Lane, and became the hero of the empire.

 Most of these young people cannot pass the training of paladins and can only end up as ordinary soldiers or enter other industries.

 But even if they lose their dreams, they will firmly remember that the undead are Ryan’s enemies.

 Now, he will become undead without any warning.

　　It was Emperor Lane's personal order to solve the Unholy Ode at once and make this kingdom become Lane's back garden.

 The reason why I chose Unclean Ode is because I have never fought it before, so no matter what results are achieved in this war, it belongs to the current Emperor Ryan.

When Rachel Angelo saw that he had bald spots on his head, he angrily killed the little nobleman in the cell, thinking that he had come to trick him on purpose.

 In fact, Rachel Angelo had suspected that the curse was related to the Fountain of Youth he had taken before, because the undead soldier who had turned into an undead at the beginning had also taken the Fountain of Youth, and like Rachel Angelo, he began to lose his hair.

This suspicion kept Rachel Angelo awake all night, for fear that she would suddenly become undead.

After this situation occurred several times, Rachel Angelo had to temporarily turn off part of the defensive magic circle.

 After putting out the fire, Rachel Angelo ordered people to count the supplies and found that most of the warehouses had been completely burned down. I don’t know what the formula of those alchemy bombs was. They burned at a terrifyingly high temperature. Even the armor was melted into scrap metal, and most of the other items were burned.

In the end, Rachel Angelo could only give one order. As long as they could still maintain their sanity, all undead soldiers would be sent to a special cell. When Emperor Ryan comes to the front line, he will be asked to use the power of the Dragon Arms to rescue them.

The Fountain of Youth may be the carrier of a curse, and all those who take it will become undead.

 Hearing that there was still hope for help, the people in Liuyan City felt more at ease.

Rachel Angelo felt a little heartbroken. These were war supplies prepared in advance, and now they can only be re-distributed to other cities.

 Before the war even started, Flowing Flame City was in a mess, and Rachel Angelo had a vague feeling that this war was not so safe.

 Rachel Angelo still hasn't figured out how Amberxiu could fly so fast, and what he used to penetrate the magic shield of Flowing Flame City.

 But in the next two days, some of the undead soldiers were low-level soldiers and had not taken the Fountain of Youth. Rachel Angelo didn't know whether she should breathe a sigh of relief. This meant that he was not more susceptible to the curse than others, but it also meant that his guess was wrong. He had not found the source of the curse, nor had he found it. Curse happens regularly.

"What the lich said is true. It's a pity. I should have been patient a little longer, at least to find out the truth about this curse."

Rachel Angelo understood this order very well. It may not be a wise decision strategically, because the orcs have already opened the door, and it is obviously easier to fight there.

However, the arrow was on the string and they had to fire it.

 The first cursed Frodo was sent to the imperial capital. With the power of the dragon's arms, he traveled back in time and returned to human appearance.

 Because these people who have become undead can still be saved.

Many soldiers failed to react. After turning into undead, Liuyan City's defense mechanism was triggered, and the holy light fell and purified him.

Rachel Angelo regrets now that she should not have launched a holy light attack on Amber Xiu after discovering that he had run away. As a result, the Lich's body was not purified, and instead the opponent burned half of Flowing Flame City.

 The young emperor needed a hearty victory to increase his reputation.

Hitting the orcs is not an option, because he was not the one commanding the previous war. Even if he wins, he will be considered to have taken advantage.

The young emperor wants to carry out reforms and concentrate more power in the hands of the emperor, instead of dividing it between the supreme judge and the minister of military affairs.

 In the past, this idea was delusional, because the little emperor was a fertility machine. How could he gain fame when he couldn't even hold a sword steady?

 He couldn't even change the Supreme Court because no one was willing to sacrifice his life for him.

 But things are different now, not only because there is a traitor in the Supreme Judge's family, but also because the emperor can control the dragon weapon.

The little emperor had only heard that the magic dragon weapon was a sacred weapon for the country and could not be used easily. Only those who could resonate with the magic dragon weapon could inherit the throne. But that thing has been locked in the basement, and I don’t know what it is used for.

 Until he finally put on this set of artifacts, the little emperor finally understood why this thing could become a national artifact.

 The power to reverse time is like a god.

There is no need to learn any martial arts or swordsmanship, nor do you need to exercise.

As long as he puts on this set of artifacts, he will have the power of a dragon and indestructible defense, and as long as he gently swipes his finger, time will move forward and backward according to his heart.

The little emperor believes that this is invincible power. No one in the world can resist the magic dragon armed force. It is time for him to step from the breeding puppet to the stage and become the real Emperor Ryan.

 As long as you can gain enough reputation, all the power of the empire can be taken back.

 All the Lion royal family agreed to the little emperor's plan, even if using the dragon's weapons required extremely cruel costs, they would not hesitate.

 Because the royal families hiding in the dark knew that Ryan was beginning to become unstable, and his fanatical ideas and doctrines were getting further and further away from each other, and many people in the country began to feel confused. Even the Supreme Judgment was ambiguous, and this old man had ruined the atmosphere of the tribunal.

 If this continues, there will be serious internal strife in Lane. The royal family believes that it is time for the Lane people to understand the majesty of the emperor. As long as the power of the magic dragon arm is used to unify the continent, all doubts will disappear.

Unholy Ode, a kingdom that has never been taken advantage of by Ryan, is most suitable for the first battle of the Dragon Arms. If it wins, it will be an unmitigated victory. No one can question it at all.

Rachel Angelo was very familiar with the situation in the imperial capital, and he did not like the supreme judge. The old man was extremely rigid and had criticized his own massacre methods more than once. Fortunately, Rachel Angelo did everything impeccably every time and had enough "evidence" to prove the rationality of the massacre, otherwise the old man would have dared to put him in jail.

Now that the emperor wants to change the position of supreme judge, Rachel Angelo definitely applauds and agrees. He is eager to directly remove the position of supreme judge.

 Therefore, Rachel Angelo also hopes that this war will go smoothly.

But with so much trouble right off the bat, Rachel Angelo began to worry. This is a war that cannot be lost, and no one can bear the consequences of failure.

Rachel Angelo was thinking about how to arrange the reconstruction of Liuyan City when someone suddenly reported to him: "General, we found a few deserters."

Rachel Angelo frowned and asked: "Deserts? Soldiers who were frightened by the undead?"

 The subordinate shook his head and said: "No, he is a member of the Iron-Blooded Lion Legion."

Rachel Angelo stood up immediately, her majestic body filled with a sense of oppression. He asked angrily: "How could there be deserters in my bodyguards?!"

The Iron-Blooded Lions are the soldiers led by Rachel Angelo personally. They are all composed of paladins and are the most elite troops under their command. Several of the team captains are legendary level paladins and are his most loyal subordinates.

Rachel Angelo has never doubted the loyalty of this unit, let alone worried about their morale. These are veterans who have survived a series of fierce battles with him.

 After the emergence of the undead, the fastest to calm down was the Iron-Blooded Lions. They were also able to maintain their morale, putting out fires and rescuing people at the same time.

How could there be deserters in such a unit?

The subordinate lowered his head and answered with fear: "It's Frodo Ors, Lorencos Ors. They left Liuyan City with a few paladins. They didn't apply to leave the city, and they didn't stay. any record."

 “Frodo and Lorenkos?”

Rachel Angelo was completely stunned. Isn't Frodo the child he sent to the imperial capital and was rescued by the emperor? Lorenkos, this is Frodo's father, is one of Rachel Angelo's most effective subordinates, a legendary paladin.

 “Impossible, absolutely impossible!”

Rachel Angelo was unwilling to believe that these two people would be deserters. There was no reason for this.

There must have been some accident, maybe related to the curse, maybe Frodo became undead again, or maybe Lorenkos also became undead. They found that they couldn't control it, so they took the initiative. leave.

 That must be the case, they will never become deserters for no reason!

“Go find them, chase them immediately, and bring them back! If they become undead... no matter what, bring them back first!”

After Rachel Angelo's order was issued, Liuyan City's already insufficient manpower detached an elite team led by the legendary paladin and chased the "deserters" in the direction they left.

  Rachel Angelou sat in her general's chair, rubbing her head painfully.

Unconsciously, a few more red hairs fell out, making his head even more ugly, just like Liuyan City now.
