This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 35 The Paladin version does not eat minced meat

 Never fight a mage in his mage tower unless you are doing a sneak attack.

 This can be said to be common sense, but everything in the world cannot go as planned.

 Just like now, the battle has begun, and there is no turning back.

The magic defense system in the castle was all activated, and countless necrotic energies were shot out from the castle, falling into the enemy like a turret.

Mortals cannot resist this magical power, and will be corroded into bones as long as they are touched.

 But the paladin and the light priest were not affected. The overbearing anti-magic force field caused all magic to completely dissipate after entering the scope of the light shield. For the duration of the force field, the two of them were equal to magic immunity.

 Unless you can cast god-level spells, you cannot break through the restrictions of the anti-magic field.

 At this time, we can see the difference between parallel import legends and legends.

Each legend is a demigod who has transcended the mundane world and mastered a small amount of divine power.

 Under normal circumstances, Amberxiu, the legendary lich, could use a magic with divine power to teach these two young men from the Lion Empire how to behave.

But after giving up the path of the prophecy school, Amberxiu did not have any kind of magic that could reach the level of demigod. He could only choose to avoid this kind of anti-magic force field. Fortunately, this is performed using a magic scroll, so you just have to wait for the duration to end.

 Under normal circumstances, this kind of scroll casting can only last for one or two minutes.

Amberxiu's leisurely attitude was in sharp contrast to the enemy's panic.

 Harvey dodged left and right in the dark energy that filled the sky. With extremely precise intuition, he persisted until the first round of magic bombardment ended.

Although he was unscathed, Harvey was still sweating profusely. If he had made even the slightest mistake just now, he would have turned into a skeleton. The sorcerer's apprentice's negligible magic power could not block such a powerful magic attack even if he put up a shield.

Looking behind him, the porcupine knight was lucky to survive, but three of the lords who came with him to defeat the lich died, and even the men and horses were corroded into bones.

 Other soldiers suffered heavy casualties, with more than 200 dead on the spot, but very few injured, because the magic attack just now was too terrifying, and almost as long as it was touched even a little, they would die completely.

 It was so tragic that Harvey really wanted to ask, why did you mess with him?

  After all, they still underestimated the power of this lich. Several lords were obviously fighting far away from the battlefield. According to common sense, this place has exceeded the maximum range of magic.

Who would have thought that this castle specifically enhanced the range of magic.

Harvey couldn't help but wonder: "Did this lich start to make adjustments to us after taking in the free people?"

This is a bit too much to think about. Amberxiu strengthened the magic defense system of the entire castle entirely because Apoptotic Rose gave him a detailed list of the city defense system of the Ryan Empire. There are many things worth learning from. For example, the effect of increasing the magic range is simply high quality and low price. Don’t pretend to be sorry for yourself.

 The result was miraculous today.

It is indeed the Lion Empire. Looking at his results, Amberxiu gave a thumbs up to the Lion Empire's magic technology in his heart.

Harvey felt very bad. As a consultant, he had made retreat suggestions more than once, but the lord did not listen. Harvey was already a little dissatisfied. If he could survive today, he would definitely resign immediately.

 But now, he must fulfill the duties of a consultant.

Harvey rushed towards the paladin on horseback and said loudly: "I can't hold it anymore. Do you have any way to deal with this lich? If not, we have to withdraw our troops now!" The paladin was surprised. Asked: "With only less than 20% casualties, you can't hold on?"

The paladin admitted that he underestimated Amber Xiu, but were these little lords of the Alchemy City too weak?

 It’s only 20%, does this mean morale has collapsed?

Even if the Lion Empire’s weakest legion has lost less than 30% of its battle damage, it won’t make any difference, right?

Harvey wanted to give this paladin a slap, but he could only endure it now and said in the most efficient way of communication: "How can an army composed of ordinary tenant farmers compare with the army of the Lion Empire armed with faith? This is the fact. Is there anything you can do?"

The paladin only felt that this experience was really eye-opening, but now was not the time to sigh. He said to Harvey: "Of course, you just need to enter the castle and find his phylactery. Since you can't hold it anymore, you can't." Just retreat, so as not to hinder us."

After the paladin finished speaking, he led the priest of light and continued to charge towards the main entrance of the castle.

The effect of the anti-magic field is still there, and they can ignore all magic attacks and rush directly to the castle gate.

 Harvey looked at the magical light that filled the sky, hesitated for a moment, and then followed the paladin.

His intuition told him that if he ran away now, the result would not be very good. Perhaps charging with the paladin would be the right choice. He just hoped that his intuition would not be wrong.

Seeing Harvey charging with him, the paladin praised him and said, "Your courage is worthy of praise. May the Holy Light protect you."

 Harvey thought to himself that even if he asked for blessings from the gods, he, a mage apprentice, should go to the magic goddess Mystra. These religious lunatics really have to preach all the time.

Under the action of the anti-magic force field, all the magic traps in front of the castle gate were ineffective, and simple traps and crossbow traps had no effect on the armor-clad paladin. Just a few clicks of the long sword in his hand would kill him. All those crossbow arrows flew away.

 The three of them rushed to the gate of the castle. The only loss was two horses. But at this time, the anti-magic force field also began to flicker, and soon disappeared completely.

 Harvey followed the two of them and also came to the gate of the castle.

Amberxiu hid in the castle decisively when he saw the three people charging. When he saw the paladin appearing in front of the castle door, he smiled and pressed the switch.

Just as the paladin was about to break open the castle door, a clicking sound sounded.

None of the three people knew what happened, but the paladin decided to move forward bravely. The holy light on the long sword surged. The Holy Slash can not only kill lichs, but also demolish houses.

The sword light fell and chopped the thick wooden door into pieces. The huge impact even caused large cracks on the ground.

Harvey was sighing at the power of the paladin when he suddenly said doubtfully: "No, there are too many cracks."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground in front of the castle completely collapsed, revealing a bottomless pit.

 The three of them were unprepared and fell straight into the pit.

Through magic surveillance, Amber Xiu watched the three people fall into the pit. Then he reached out and touched the living mercury beside him, and said to the newly born little thing: "Little guy, it's time for you to show off. If If you can win the paladin of the Lion Empire, then I will make a lot of money from this business.”
