This Lich Needs More Money

Amberxiu is a person who never forgets his original intention. No matter where he is or what he is busy with, his ultimate goal is just to make more money.

Now that the orcs are fighting with Ryan, it would be a pity not to make a profit from such an important event.

When Ryan went to war with the orcs last time, Amber was busy dealing with the priesthood of Queen Rose Spider. This kind of big business was more important than making war fortune, so she missed an opportunity.

By the time Amber Xiu was free, the orcs had long been defeated by Ryan.

Now the time is right, the orcs have regained a victory, and the two sides have returned to a state of even rivalry. There is just a market for Amberxiu's undead troops.

Presumably, the orcs wouldn't mind having an extra batch of cannon fodder to consume Ryan's holy light, and if these orcs were unwilling, Amberxiu wouldn't mind chatting with Ryan. The undead can't only fight paladins, and the efficiency of killing orcs is certain. higher.

But he needed a middleman.

Amberxiu thought about it, but found that he didn't know anyone among the orcs.

This may be a bit imprecise, but it should be said that all the orcs Amberxiu knew should be dead.

At the beginning, Amberxiu only had hatred towards the orcs, and the work of revenge had been completed long ago. He really didn't know many people there.

But it's not a big problem. Amber Xiu's connections are not as wide as usual.

Moreover, this network of people is so wide that there is no need for Amberxiu to find connections on his own, Gustavo Flynn has already taken the initiative to come to him.

The unsmiling face of the black-skinned alchemist appeared on the magic mirror. He said to Amber Xiu without any nonsense: "I have connections with the orcs. I want to sell your undead troops to the orcs. They are special now." You can make a lot of money by being generous.”

Amberxiu immediately smiled and said, "Yes, I thought so too. I didn't expect you to have an orc relationship."

"In those days, Alchemy City's products were sold to all kingdoms, except Emerald Dream Forest. So, in a word, can you work overtime to create artificial souls recently?"

This was Gustavo Flynn's biggest concern.

After obtaining the artifact gold coin, Gustavo Flynn conducted many transformation experiments.

Finally, he came to the conclusion that the cost that Amber Xiu had boasted to him before did not seem to have much merit. This made Gustavo Flynn look at Amberxiu in a new light.

This lich seemed to like money very much, but he was quite honest after reaching the cooperation. At least he didn't cheat him much in terms of cost.

However, this artifact gold coin was really expensive, and he couldn't bear it if he didn't earn it back quickly.

"I thought you would first encourage the Dwarf King to place an order." Amberxiu said.

Gustavo Flynn had already mentioned before that he wanted to take the dwarf route, hoping to make some money first to offset the cost.

As a result, there was no news from the dwarves, but the orc business was mentioned first, which surprised Amber Xiu.

Gustavo Flynn said: "You can let go of the business that you can definitely catch, and you should seize the business that requires competition to catch it, don't you think so? Moreover, the Dwarf King also needs more evidence. To prove that your undead are really useful. After all, our enemy is Ryan."

Amberxiu nodded, agreeing with this point of view.

It does sound unreliable for the undead to fight the paladin, and it is normal for the dwarf king to have doubts.

Amber Xiu asked: "Are you going to sell the fish army to the orcs?"

"It's just one of them, and it's also our most profitable product. However, are the undead used in the sea suitable for use on land?" Gustavo Flynn said with some worry. This is the first time that a product has been exported. If it is released, Problems have a huge impact on brands.

"The trash fish army is very effective when released in the sea, because the buoyancy of the seawater is just right so that these undead can be suspended in the seawater. But if it is used on land, it can only be released directly from the sky, and the effect will be worse. But don't worry, low Cost is our advantage, and I can lend an airship to launch strikes from high altitudes..."

Amber Xiu has already thought about the use of undead troops on land. Although the fish army cannot swim freely in the air, there is no problem in self-calibration when falling. Therefore, as long as it is thrown down from high altitude, the hit rate will be the same. very high.

But the effect may not be very good, because the equipment of the Lane people is very good, far more than those undersea races that rely solely on rough skin and thick flesh.

Humans on land have the advantage of making fire, and it is naturally easier to forge metal.

Races in the sea can only rely on scales as armor, and at most they can get some shells to wear on their bodies.

Therefore, the Miscellaneous Fish Legion must either install metal arrows on their heads on a large scale, or they can only rely on the smashed air undead to carry out poisonous attacks.

The Lane people may be able to use the power of the Holy Light to purify this poison, but the reason why the Miscellaneous Fish Legion is called Miscellaneous Fish is not to expect how much damage this undead can cause. From the beginning, this kind of undead has been a consumable. , as long as the power of the Holy Light of the Lane people can be consumed on a large scale, then the deal will not be a loss.

No matter how powerful those paladins and light priests are, their magic power is not endless.

"The orcs are not weak in combat effectiveness. Being able to counterattack Ryan shows that they are ready for a full-scale war. We are just people selling mercenaries, not the real key to the outcome of the battlefield. As long as the product is worthy of the customer's gold coins."

Amberxiu's summary made Gustavo Flynn very much agree. This is what the Alchemist should do. As long as there is no quality problem, it is up to the customer how to use the goods. The Alchemist does not care about this.

After discussing all the details, Gustavo Flynn was ready to set off for the orcs' mountains immediately, looking determined to win.

But before disconnecting the communication, Gustavo Flynn couldn't help but say one more sentence: "I thought you would refuse, or at least hesitate."

Amber Xiu said strangely: "Why? How could I not make money?"

Gustavo Flynn said: "You might not agree so straightforwardly before. You should have discovered that you were not cruel and murderous before. You would rather capture people for ransom, or even save the world. Old friend, you have changed recently, becoming more like a lich."

Amber Xiu was stunned for a moment. This evaluation was really a bit strange. What does it mean to be more like a lich?

He was originally a lich.

However, Amber Xiu seemed to feel something.

After Mr. Doom died, his little remaining humanity dissipated quickly.

Whether he admits it or not, when he first transformed into a lich, he still retained many human moral values, not killing indiscriminately, not killing cruelly, and had a restraint different from other undead.

But now, Amber Xiu led this war in the depths of the sea. Although it seemed like he had no choice, Amber Xiu knew in his heart that he was quickly approaching the cold and ruthless lich.

Soon, he would be like the withered rose, enslaving other races without any psychological burden and creating more wealth for himself.

Amber Xiu couldn't help thinking, is this a good thing?

Putting aside all emotional factors and thinking rationally, it seems that there is nothing wrong with being more like a lich, and this is inevitable.

The undead only have perception, and everything in the world is like a boring explanatory text, which is difficult to touch the undead. The only thing that can make Amber Xiu happy is to gain more wealth.

Without emotional stimulation, they will naturally become numb, which is why the undead lose their humanity.

And this process is irreversible. Amber Xiu will only sink into the desire for wealth and continue to fall into the abyss. For the lich, this way of life is actually a torture.

Because the joyful mood cannot last too long, Amberxiu will only become more and more thirsty for wealth, until one day all the wealth in the world is not enough to fill his desire.

At that time, it will be eternal torture.

However, Amberxiu quickly threw away these meaningless feelings and said to himself: "Who cares, it will take many years, and now I'd better enjoy my wealth life."

Amberxiu hummed a little song and entered his private space, and began to work hard to create a simulated soul.

As time passed, Amberxiu received good news one after another.

As the first batch of miscellaneous fish legions were delivered to the orc legion, they played a miraculous effect when they raided the city of Ryan at night.

This battle is a classic. The orcs wanted to attack the town of Ryan at night, but the news leaked out. The Ryan people set an ambush on the road in advance. When the orc army appeared, the Ryan people launched a counter-attack.

The orcs were in chaos for a while and retreated immediately.

Seeing that the main force of the orcs was about to escape, the Ryans immediately chose to chase them.

But this time, the Ryans suffered heavy losses, because they underestimated the enemy and caused the Ryans' team to deform and could no longer form an effective legion protection effect. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the commander of the orcs ordered the Black Tide in the sky to launch a high-altitude bombing attack.

In the dark night, those inconspicuous undead legions fell from the sky, like a rain of iron.

At first, the Ryans had not decided what to do. It was just bows and arrows. It was strange that the armor with protection could stop them.

This was a group of small legions equipped with armor-piercing arrows. The high speed of the fall plus the effect of automatic aiming caused astonishingly high damage.

Only those paladins wearing heavy armor could block these attacks, but the commander of the orcs knew this long ago, so he would rather ignore these paladins and specifically target the auxiliary legion of Ryan. The result was a remarkable victory, causing thousands of deaths in the first airdrop.

Then, the air undead in the type 1 trash was released, and the poison created a dead zone. All the Ryans who entered it would be poisoned within a few seconds, and then began to twitch and die.

Because the attack speed was too fast, many light priests did not have time to use holy light to dispel the dark magic, and they fell to the ground and twitched and died.

In the darkness, this poisonous area was more effective. Many Ryans could not see the situation clearly and rushed in, so more Ryans died.

It took a full ten minutes for Ryans to find out where the problem was, and then began to use holy light to dispel it.

But these short ten minutes had already caused heavy losses to the Ryans, and at this time the orcs killed a surprise attack, surrounded from all sides, and trapped the Ryans' paladin corps.

It turned out that from the beginning, the orcs' night attack intelligence was deliberately leaked, and their real target was not the town at all, but the main force of the Ryans.

After fighting the orcs for so many years, this was the first time that the Lions had suffered a complete tactical failure. The orcs in the past definitely didn't have this kind of brain.

What was even more terrifying was not this tactical thinking, but that the orcs, who had always only howled and rushed forward, could actually execute tactics. This was not something that could be said with words.

It is impossible to tell all the soldiers the battle plan, so when they pretended to run away at the beginning, many orcs would think they really lost. The formation would be messed up and the morale would be scattered.

It is not that elite troops cannot play fake defeat, because retreating often turns into a real rout.

When did the orcs have such an elite force that obeys orders? This is completely inconsistent with their character.

But the fact is that the Ryans can only fight bloody battles, leaving thousands of holy warriors alive, and barely break out.

This is also thanks to the performance of the holy warriors who almost locked morale. Everyone was fearless and used the Holy Slash to rush out a way.

But after this battle, the Ryans also understood the power of the orcs and had to shrink their forces to large cities and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

Amberxiu naturally made a lot of money. The orcs were very satisfied with the airdrop service provided by Amberxiu, and Amberxiu also knew the name of the orc commander - Urbano Pacheco, a very young orc who was only 20 years old this year, and he was not a legendary strongman.

This was almost impossible within the orcs. Who could accept the command of a young orc with little combat power?

Amberxiu was also very curious about how this orc got the position of commander. You know, the first task for the orcs to control the military power is to defeat the previous commander in a duel.

But the orcs' secrets were obviously not so easy to tell Amberxiu. Amberxiu could only guess that this was related to the orc god Gruumsh. It seemed that this Urbano Pacheco should also be a mortal blessed by the gods.

But Amberxiu couldn't guess what the specific effect of this blessing was.

It couldn't be that he was given a powerful command ability, right? The orc god didn't seem to be very good at commanding. Gruumsh was more like a brave warrior. He once tried to duel with the elven god Corellon... and was shot blind in one eye.

This was already very powerful. Corellon was so powerful. Gruumsh challenged Corellon in his prime. He was only blinded in one eye by Corellon's bow and arrow. This orc god was worthy of the rank of powerful god.

The orcs won the victory and were not in a hurry to continue the attack. Instead, they tried to establish a stable base outside the mountains, with a steady and steady tactic, just like the way Ryan attacked the desert.

The Ryan people felt extremely aggrieved. When had they ever endured such humiliation?

Finally, they had to deploy Anger Watson to the battlefield here.

At this moment, Ryan, who was about to split, put aside the contradictions between each other. Just as Amber said before, the external force now would only restore Ryan from the edge of splitting and unity, and it would be impossible to break it.

Anger Watson did not disappoint. He demonstrated the art of war on the battlefield, winning three battles in a row and bringing down an orc legend.

Anger Watson had seen Amber's undead army and had personally commanded it, which made it impossible for the orcs to use "surprise troops" again. With the Lions prepared, it was difficult for the small army to achieve effective results.

When the orcs were about to be driven back, Urbano Pacheco made a very outrageous roundabout attack. No one knew how this young orc commanded the orcs to bypass the Lions' encirclement like a fine net, and actually attacked Anger Watson's rear, not only burning most of the food and supplies, but also capturing many Lion civilians, forcing Anger Watson to give up the orc fortress that was about to be captured.

Urbano Pacheco successfully saved the fortress he built, but the orcs suffered heavy losses, and Ryan failed to achieve the strategic goal of driving the orcs back to the mountains. Everyone suffered a loss, but everyone chose to continue fighting.

When the two sides were in a stalemate, Amberxiu had a lot of good news.

In the battle for the volcanic sea area, Aige won consecutive battles, and the number of territories from the two at the beginning has now become double digits. The advantage of the undead army in the sea is too great. Without the restraint of holy light, this is the strongest army.

Aige is also smart. While the opponent has not thought of a way to crack it, she does not want to operate more areas, but to eliminate the number of enemies first.

And the main target is the Isi manta ray. As the bodies of the Isi manta ray are exchanged again and again, a large number of criminals have been sent to the mermaids.

If you don’t count it, you won’t know that there are so many people in the mermaids who have committed the crime of "indulgence". Now the number of mermaids willing to accept Aige’s rule has exceeded 10,000.

This number is enough to establish a mermaid tribe of considerable size.

Ai Ge temporarily stopped the war mode and began to try to collect the faith of mermaids.

This was a very difficult task for Ai Ge, because she was still just a mortal.

Even if she was a legend, she did not get the priesthood after all, and could not directly use the power of faith. She could only spend time and patience to integrate the power of faith into her body little by little, and this process would be very slow.

But things can't always go so smoothly. The goddess of fate always likes to give you a few pieces of candy and then kick you.

Just after Amber Xiu took control of the absolute advantage, the three races of Kou Tao fishmen, Isi rays and Shark Hua fishmen chose to temporarily unite.

This time, it was not a simple loose alliance.

Instead, the gods behind the three races chose to cooperate, and ordered their believers to cooperate to deal with Amber Xiu, a new force, in the form of oracles.

In order to decide the ownership of the volcanic sea area as soon as possible and to minimize unnecessary casualties, the gods of the three tribes sent an invitation to Ai Ge to participate in a war game.

If Ai Ge lost, she would lead all her subordinates to leave the volcanic sea area immediately. If she won, the three gods were willing to share part of their power so that Ai Ge could skip the process of accumulating faith and directly be promoted to a god.

But when Amber Xiu saw the specific invitation letter, he said to Ai Ge: "Those three gods really think we are stupid! They are not going to play any war games, they want to wait for you to be promoted to a god and then tear you apart and swallow you!"
