This Lich Needs More Money

The dwarf king's capital fell into chaos.

No one knows where this group of nightmare knights came from and why they entered the royal capital directly.

Even if it is a newly built royal capital, the defense and detection magic circles are the most basic. How could there be a lot of devils appearing in the city without being noticed.

But the nightmare knights didn't give the dwarves any chance to react.

Angor Watson brandished a flaming lance and charged forward. In the past, he was just a commander, and his combat effectiveness was not very good, so he could not charge forward.

But after being transformed into a demon, a hellish engine was implanted in his body.

His heart was boiling and burning, and the huge magic power turned into strength, making him extremely powerful.

Those stocky dwarf iron guards holding huge shields could not stop Angor Watson's charge. They directly hit a gap in the shield wall, and then the nightmare's flaming horse hoofs trampled all the way through.

The cavalry behind will quickly expand the gap and completely disrupt the dwarves' queue.

No wonder the dwarves liked grandeur so much. From the city gate to the main entrance of the palace was a straight road, wide enough for twenty carriages to drive side by side, and the ground was paved with large flat rocks. After walking out of the Goblin Bank, the Nightmare Knight was only thirty meters away from the main road. It would only take a little speed to get there.

With such a straight road, no one can resist the cavalry charge.

The surprise attack came so fast that the dwarves had no time to prepare for defense. Ange Watson had already rushed to the palace gate with almost no losses.

But once you get here, you can't charge anymore.

The palace gate is made of gold and iron, its thickness is very exaggerated, and a lot of defensive magic effects have been added. It is probably completely locked by a mechanism now, and it is impossible to open it by collision.

The dwarves on the palace walls are also ready, with bows, arrows and magic at the ready, ready to attack these devils head-on.

Ange Watson raised his spear high, and the nightmare knights behind him all pulled up their reins and stopped firmly outside the dwarf's shooting range.

This distance made the dwarf commander on the wall very uncomfortable.

As long as Ange Watson moves forward a little bit, he can use magic and bows and arrows for long-range consumption, but he is just a little short of it. How long can the condensed magic power last? How long can the bow-bending warrior last?

How did these demons know the dwarves' best range? How could he pinch so accurately?

Little did they know that these demons were all transformed from the Paladins of Lane, and they had been fighting the dwarves for many years.

Although the previous invasion was unjust, now helping the orthodox Alpine clan of the dwarves overthrow the vampires would be a proper execution of justice. It's just that when I was a paladin, I fought unjust wars, but now that I have become a devil, I have begun to uphold justice. No matter how I think about it, I find it ironic.

Although Ange Watson was a little emotional, as an excellent commander, he should focus on the war on the battlefield.

He quickly gave an order to Amber Xiu: "Lord Davian, the defense system of the dwarf kingdom still needs your help to break it, otherwise it will not be possible to break through with a surprise attack alone."

Amber Xiu nodded, and the thick mecha flew in front of the group of nightmare knights.

Amberxiu crossed the invisible range warning line. The dwarves didn't know what this huge black mecha was, but no matter what, they had to blow it up first.

The arrows and magic hit Amberxiu together, seeming to cover half of the sky.

Amber Xiu chuckled, raised his right hand and lightly grabbed it towards the sky.

A strong wind was generated in an instant, and the arrows with various effects were all missed by the strong wind. They collided with the flying magic and exploded into brilliant fireworks in mid-air.

The first attack that the dwarves had prepared for a long time was resolved by Amber Xiu, but this was just the beginning.

Before the strong wind subsided, it turned into a tornado and rolled towards the palace.

As soon as they got closer, an energy shield filled with various runes lit up over the palace. The magic defense system of the Dwarf Palace has been activated to block the tornado.

Even the legendary mage couldn't break through the national level magic defense with a single spell, so the dwarves on the city wall didn't panic at all.

But they got one thing wrong. Amber Xiu was not just a legendary mage at all.

The tornado and the magic defense shield collided with each other, causing the sky to flicker continuously. Then drops of highly corrosive acid appeared in the tornado, immediately filling the air with an unforgettable stench.

At this time, the dwarves finally realized something was wrong.

This is not a simple tornado, it is a precursor to a vengeful storm.

Revenge Storm, a nine-ring spell, is different from the famous Meteor Explosion, which is known to have the widest coverage and the most terrifying destructive power to the city.

Storms, acid rain, thunder, and various other major disasters will appear. The specific difference depends on the caster's own magic level.

The stronger the magic power, the stronger the disaster that can be manifested.

But no matter how powerful a mage is, you can't cast Revenge Storm while wearing heavy armor and omitting chanting?

Is this something a mortal can do?

How did they know that Amberxiu had been blessed by the Lord of Storms and could use the Revenge Storm once a day for free. This is a divine magic blessed by Talos, which has surpassed the limits of mortals.

Amberxiu also provided a large amount of magic power to this spell, further strengthening the power of this magic.

Storms, acid rain, thunder, earthquakes, fires, and even meteorites... These natural disasters recurred and began to consume the reserve magic power of the Dwarf Kingdom crazily.

The palace looked like the end of the world, and even the Dwarf King hiding in the deepest part of the palace could sense it.

When he learned that a large army of demons suddenly appeared to attack the palace, the Dwarf King was only slightly surprised, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought that the new king chosen by the Dwarf Gods was going to come in, as long as it was not this, nothing else mattered. Although he didn't know where these demons came from, there was nothing to worry about the demons attacking the city. He had guards to protect him, so he didn't have to worry at all.

After Amber made a deal with him last time, the Dwarf King was very worried, and he once prayed to the gods with tears, hoping that the Dwarf Gods could understand his difficulties.

At that time, the Dwarf Kingdom was on the verge of collapse. If he was still sick and unconscious, the Dwarf Kingdom would definitely fall apart. However, the gods did not respond to his prayers.

The dwarf king couldn't help but feel angry. He was clearly for this kingdom, so why should he be abandoned?

He knew that this was a blasphemous idea, but just as people cannot control their own hearts, he could not control his anger towards the gods. The dwarf king also knew that the gods knew about this blasphemy, so he worried every day that a dwarf would appear in divine light and raise the blessed hammer to smash his head.

This kind of life of fear is too hard to bear, especially since vampires don't need to sleep, so time passes even slower.

The dwarf king tried to order a search for those dwarves in the country who suddenly appeared with strange talents, claiming that the kingdom was about to regain lost territory and needed more talents to help, but in fact he wanted to find these suspected gods and strangle them all in the cradle.

Doing so might anger the dwarf gods and get a more severe punishment, but the dwarf king couldn't think of any other way.

Anyway, they were all going to hell, so why not drag more people along?

Maybe if he caught the god-favored person, he could prove his ability, and maybe there was still a little chance of survival?

Unfortunately, the time is too short.

In just a few days, there is no time to find any dwarf who is suspected to be a god-favored person.

Now the battle outside is lively, the dwarf king thought about it and chose to walk out of the palace.

It is night now, he can move freely, maybe showing bravery on the battlefield can make the gods change their minds?

Regardless of success or failure, the dwarf king can only treat everything as a life-saving straw and try everything.

Ignoring the obstruction of the guards, the dwarf king walked out of the palace with his guards, and looked up to see the terrifying sky. Dense lightning fell like raindrops, constantly hitting the kingdom's magic shield.

The dwarf king was also surprised. Who cast such a terrifying spell?

Let a legendary wizard cast the nine-ring spell at will? Are the generals guarding the palace idiots?

In fact, the guards of the palace are not idiots. The legendary dwarf warrior has jumped down from the city wall and rushed towards Amber Xiu with his elite subordinates.

The revenge storm needs to be cast continuously. This strange wizard in heavy armor cannot be allowed to continue. His action must be interrupted.

The warrior is very confident that as long as he is allowed to lean, a rough iron hammer throw can repel him or even kill him directly, and the spell will naturally stop.

However, Anger Watson has long seen his intention.

In fact, Amber's revenge storm is to lure the strong in the city to take the initiative to attack, and consuming the magic power of the magic circle in the city is secondary.

Now that the strong have appeared, it is the turn of the devils to take action.

The Nightmare Knight launched a charge and collided with the troops of the dwarf warrior.

This dwarf warrior is indeed strong. When he threw the iron hammer in his hand, countless thunders were entangled on it. He smashed the nightmare's head with one hammer, and knocked over several nightmare knights with the remaining force, and then returned to the hands of the dwarf warrior.

Anger Watson said loudly: "It's an arcane knight, and his legendary ability is related to the hammer!"

One of the characteristics of the arcane knight is that he can bind his own weapon. Whether it is thrown or forcibly disarmed, the weapon will eventually fly back to his hand. This hammer is obviously his bound weapon, and the power attached to it is not something he can contend with.

But Anger Watson is just a commander, and naturally there will be strong people to deal with it.

There are also legends among the paladins who committed suicide and went to hell.

A tall nightmare knight rushed out waving a spear, and a surging flame burst out from the tip of the spear, covering the arcane knight.

The two legends collided with each other, and the shock caused forced others to push away.

Anger Watson was well prepared and led the nightmare knights to divide the dwarf troops again, weakening the opponent's power bit by bit.

The nightmare knights fell behind in numbers. Although the battle between the strong was evenly matched, other nightmare knights soon suffered casualties.

When the dwarves saw that they had the upper hand, they became more courageous and wanted to defeat these demons in one breath.

However, before the arcane warrior could exert his full strength, a large number of cracks suddenly appeared on the protective shield above the dwarf palace.

The crisp sound of the cracking became a heavy hammer, hitting the arcane knight's heart hard.

"This is impossible. Even if the power of the revenge storm is several times greater, it is impossible to destroy the defensive magic circle of the palace in such a short time!" The arcane knight was extremely shocked. If the magic defense of the palace was so easily broken, the dwarves would have been destroyed long ago.

However, this is the fact. The defensive magic circle was destroyed, and the power of the revenge storm began to quickly destroy everything in the palace.

In the other two directions of the palace, two nightmare knights had climbed over the city wall and rushed towards the inside of the palace. Wherever they went, the flames roared, and the fire of hell was burning everything.

Originally, the magic defense of the palace would not be so easy to break, but unfortunately, there were not only dwarves in the dwarf palace.

This is a multi-ethnic country, and the establishment of this defensive magic circle is inseparable from the support of the Goblin Bank. So a long time ago, the Goblin president left an insider in the palace.

Originally, these insiders were useless. The movement of destroying the magic circle was very loud and could not be concealed from others. But now Amberxiu led the devils to attack the city. The loud noise caused by the revenge storm has covered everything. This surprise attack came too quickly. No one would have thought that the devil could have an insider.

The magic circle was destroyed, and there was a loophole in the defense. The other two nightmare knights rushed in and began to destroy frantically.

They didn't need to kill many people, just to make the palace fall into chaos.

Palaces were destroyed, and beautiful scenery turned into a sea of ​​fire.

There are still many legendary strongmen in the palace, but they can't find the enemy at all. They are all caught up in the chaotic crowd. Don't think about restoring order in the palace in a short time.

The legendary strongmen fight each other and try to resist the pressure of the revenge storm.

The nightmare knights destroyed frantically, forcing the dwarves into greater chaos.

At this moment, the dwarf king had just come to the city wall, and then he was hit by several thunders, almost splitting him into charcoal.

He didn't know what happened, only that the whole palace was in chaos. He only saw a sea of ​​fire, but couldn't see clearly how many devils there were. At this time, a group of guards came up and said to the dwarf king: "Your Majesty, let's avoid these demons for the time being. No matter how many there are, they can't stay here for a long time. Your Majesty's safety is important. Let's leave temporarily through the secret passage."

Protect the dwarf king to leave, and leave the rest to the generals to deal with. Anyway, the demons will be eliminated sooner or later. They can only cause some damage and it is impossible to really occupy the entire palace. Maybe they just want to harvest some souls and create some panic.

Just like in the story, the demons can't have much impact on this world after all, and they will be driven back to hell.

Therefore, the dwarf king hesitated for a moment, but still agreed with the guards' opinion. Under the protection of the guards, he left the city wall and walked towards the nearest palace.

Dwarves are best at construction. There are special secret passages under almost every palace. Many of them are only known by the dwarf king himself, so he can find an escape route at any time.

This is also the reason why Seth Yuri believes that assassination is almost impossible to succeed.

Shortly after the Dwarf King entered the secret passage, several green lights rose in the palace. They were specially made alchemical fireworks, which were still dazzling even under the cover of the revenge storm.

Seeing this scene, Amber stopped casting spells.

This was the signal agreed with the inner ghost. The explosion of alchemical fireworks indicated that the Dwarf King had left the palace. According to the plan, they could retreat next.

Otherwise, when the dwarves recovered, Anger Watson and his men would all die here.

The Nightmare Knight could only create chaos. It was impossible for hundreds of them to really destroy the city. If they forced those legendary strongmen to fight desperately regardless of the lives of the people below, Anger Watson and his men would also suffer heavy losses.

Amber cast a spell again, but this time it was "Lyra's True Illusion".

The palace began to be filled with large fogs, obscuring the vision of the dwarves. This was also the signal that Amber and Anger Watson had agreed on. Now it was time to retreat.

The Nightmare Knight was not affected by the illusion and immediately turned his horse's head and left the palace.

Because of the obstruction of vision, the dwarves did not dare to pursue, but only tried their best to put out the fire and stabilize the situation.

Seth Yuri must have received the news. It depends on his own ability. If he can't accept the Dwarf King's offer, then this God-favored person can really go home and rest, waiting for the Dwarf Gods to choose the next one to be the new Dwarf King.

The Dwarf King who escaped into the secret passage did not know that he had been tricked, and was still running towards safety.

But just when he was about to run to the end of the passage, a pale elf appeared in front of everyone.

The elf said to the Dwarf King with regret: "Cowardly king, the real hell is ahead. It's not too late to turn back now."
