This Lich Needs More Money

The mighty army arrayed in front of the Blood River Fortress.

Bayer frowned and looked at the "army" in front of him, and couldn't help but doubt his own military level.

Bayer found that he couldn't understand these strange-looking armies, and it was difficult to judge their specific purpose from their appearance.

Scouts always need to be flexible enough, stealthy enough, and fast enough; attack-type units always need to be numerous and strong enough; functional units can look weird, but you can guess at a glance what they are used for. something.

But these undead... Bayer felt like he couldn't understand them.

At a glance, except for the skeletal warships flying in the sky, he could probably guess that they were both reconnaissance and air-to-ground attacks. He really couldn't understand other strange things.

The huge zombie with several legs moved slowly and was not equipped with any weapons. It only had a huge box on its back.

This kind of body is a living target. Even if the box is full of explosive agents made by alchemy, who can be exploded at such a slow speed? Instead, it will be detonated in advance by the demon's concentrated fire, blowing up your own people.

There are many similar bulky troops, all with weird shapes, and you can't tell where the weapons are.

There are only a bunch of heavily armored death knights left that Bayer can understand.

Bayer looked at the young commander again. This kid must have fallen into hell not long ago. He seemed to be a helper brought from the mortal world by the Grand Duke of Deceiver.

To be honest, Bayer looked down on the so-called military geniuses of mortals.

The reason is simple, because the intensity and duration of the war on the Blood River battlefield are not comparable to wars in other planes.

The Githyanki in the Astral Plane can be considered a militarized nation with all their people in arms, and they are invading other planes every day.

But ten years of war damage to the Githyanki is not enough to kill them in one day on the Blood River Battlefield.

War command is a very stressful thing. Every moment's battle report is a huge amount of information, which requires immediate thinking and accurate judgment.

Bayer knew that many mortal commanders would use drugs to forcibly refresh themselves during fierce battles, and then stay awake for several days to support them.

But not sleeping for several days is just the most common situation in bloody battles.

This is also the reason why only gods can be the commanders of bloody battles. If someone is in poor health, he can collect his body in half a month.

Even with the full support of the Nine Hells, Bayer only focused on defense. He really never thought about counterattack, and there was no need.

The abyss is so big and there are so many demons, where are you going to counterattack?

So Bayer really wants to tell Amber Xiu that these millions of troops can just be used as consumables on the Blood River battlefield. After a period of time, when the demons return to normal, then this test will be considered over. Fraud The person will be able to safely be his devil prince, and the support of other princes will return to normal.

But Bayer really has no position to say this, because these undead souls do not belong to him.

Unlike the personal guards he trained, these undead were all created by the Grand Duke himself. No matter what method he used, he did it at any cost.

Since this was the Grand Duke's private money, Bayer could only choose to sit back and watch.

No opinion, anyway, in the end, these undead will die in the demon's land. As for angering those demon lords or what kind of results can be achieved, Bayer thinks it makes no difference.

Bayer also wanted to get rid of this endless torture, but the abyss is eternal and the demon is immortal. A temporary victory is meaningless because the demon will eventually come back.

Bayer sighed and came to the big library, wanting to propose a follow-up defense plan to Amber Xiu, but he saw an unexpected guest.

In the large library, Amber Xiu enthusiastically poured tea for a lady with noble temperament but arrogant make-up.

This lady exuded an uncomfortable aura, which was the natural dragon power belonging to the dragon clan. The person who made Bayer feel the pressure was none other than the evil dragon goddess Tiamat.

Bayer was very confused. Tiamat had been away from hell for a long time, and there had been no news from him during this period. How could Tiamat suddenly appear here, and at this critical time.

When Amberxiu saw Bayer appear, he asked casually: "Have all the arrangements for the expedition been made?"

Bayer did not dare to ask more questions and could only reply: "The first batch of teams has been assembled, but the commander you assigned is not ready to go in person."

Amberxiu nodded and said: "It's my arrangement. Ange Watson is a little weakling. What's the use of going there? If you stay in Blood River Fortress, you can still command remotely through the magic mirror, and you won't have to worry about guarding against assassins."

When he was still a paladin, Ange Watson didn't even have the legendary realm. Ange Watson didn't change much after he went to hell. His individual combat ability was not worth mentioning. Moreover, Angor Watson has already tried to use the magic mirror to remotely command the battle. As long as there is no delay in the magic mirror, it is no different from him going to the front line in person.

The one who really wants to go to the front line is Paluliel. This madman has high-end combat power at the level of a god. At critical moments, he can transform from a staff officer to a charging general.

Hearing what Amberxiu said, Bayer had no objection. He just told Amberxiu about the plan to rebuild the Blood River Front, and left voluntarily after getting Amberxiu's consent.

Bair felt that Tiamat's eyes were always falling on him vaguely. Facing this evil dragon goddess, Bair felt uncomfortable all over.

I don’t know what these two are sitting here talking about. Didn’t I hear that they have a bad relationship?

When Bayer left, Tiamat spoke.

Tiamat asked, "Look, even your subordinates feel something is wrong, and you let me sit here and drink tea with you. Aren't you afraid of being discovered by Cyric?"

Amberxiu laughed, "Why, did you lie to Cyric?"

Tiamat was silent for a moment, then said, "Really not."

Amberxiu took a sip of the tea in the cup and said calmly, "Yes, we didn't lie at all. I want to counterattack the abyss. This is the information you brought to Cyric. The army is already preparing and ready to go at any time."

It's no wonder that Tiamat was confused, because this time it was Amberxiu who took the initiative to find Him and asked Him to help send a message.

Tiamat was too lazy to care about the mess in Hell. Anyway, the dividends of soul coins have always been there, and He is not as concerned as Zariel.

As for his hatred for Amberxiu... it is impossible to let it go. The goddess of the evil camp will not tell you to let go, but she will not hate Amberxiu so much that she will kill her immediately, nor will she think about revenge day and night. This faint hatred faded again after Amberxiu took the initiative to send a large amount of soul coins.

In order to contact this secluded evil dragon goddess, Amberxiu's thoughts also descended on Dragon Island, found Gareth, asked him to help find those five-colored dragons, and then got the way to summon Tiamat through the resonance of blood.

The affairs of hell were enough to keep Amberxiu busy. If it weren't for the magic mirror that allowed Amberxiu to reach anywhere in an instant, she would really be too busy.

Amberxiu really took time out of her busy schedule, using such a roundabout way, and the gift she gave was so generous. Tiamat also temporarily let go of the unhappiness and chose to talk to Amberxiu.

Amberxiu's request was even more weird, asking Tiamat to find a way to spread the news of her counterattack on the abyss.

However, the second request was that no matter who came to Tiamat to join forces against him, Ambersh hoped that Tiamat would agree.

These two requests were simple and not worth so many soul coins, so Tiamat did not dare to accept them at first. The evil dragon goddess was also afraid, and she was really afraid that she would fall into Ambersh's trap with her greed.

In the end, she used the old method. Ambersh swore on the honor of the devil and signed a contract with Tiamat to confirm that she had no ill will towards the evil dragon goddess.

In this way, Tiamat accepted it carefully and completed Ambersh's request.

Tiamat must not understand why Ambersh wanted to spread the news himself. The movement of the troops in hell could not be hidden from the devil. Even if Tiamat did not say it, the news could not be concealed at all.

But soon, Tiamat understood what Ambersh meant, and also understood what the second request meant.

Cyric came to the door hoping to cooperate, and the reason of this prince of lies was also very simple. Since Tiamat spread the news that was unfavorable to Ambershu, it must be because the evil dragon goddess still had resentment. After all, she had been deceived many times and it was almost a shame that was spread out.

Tiamat wanted to say that you were a prince of lies, couldn't you sense others' lies? Didn't you sense the breath of conspiracy?

Now hearing what Ambershu said, Tiamat reacted.

Did she still have resentment towards the fraudster in front of her? Of course she did. If Ambershu was unlucky, Tiamat would not hesitate to add insult to injury.

Then did she have any conspiracy against Cyric?

No, Ambershu's request was that Tiamat would accept anyone who came to cooperate with him to do bad things, and there was no other request. Ambershu didn't even ask Tiamat to pass on the news to him, and he had never asked about Cyric's plan from the beginning to now.

So in the end, Tiamat just spread a piece of news that was unfavorable to Ambershu, and then agreed to cooperate with Cyric, and even the hatred in her heart was real.

It was completely true, without the slightest falsehood, and it seemed reasonable that the Prince of Lies did not find anything.

Tiamat asked: "But I still think it's not normal. Cyric can't fail to sense your malice towards him. He should have felt it the moment you prepared the conspiracy, and there was no need to find clues from me."

Ambershu smiled and said: "Cyric certainly knows that I want to deal with Him. When I was still a mortal, I was already thinking about how to deal with Him. This conspiracy started a long time ago, and I think Cyric has never ignored it. But after all, I am a mortal who is qualified to share the priesthood of lies. Cyric can only sense it, and it is impossible for him to know what I did specifically.

"So, in Cyric's view, I have been calculating Him from the mortal world to the hell, and there has been no change. And you, the evil dragon goddess, are also my enemy, and you didn't lie to Him. How could Cyric know where the problem is? No, it should be said that even you don't know what I am calculating, right? "

Tiamat had to admit this. Until now, he still didn't know what specific plan Amber had, but he had already felt the familiar chill on his back.

In the heart of the evil dragon goddess, the name of the deceiver was more important than the prince of lies.

She accidentally boarded his pirate ship again, but she didn't know anything about it.

Tiamat couldn't help but remind him, "But Xirik is already contacting your enemies. The power of the law of hell is different from the real kingdom of God. This is something you borrowed and does not belong to you at all. Although you have mastered the power of the gods now, your essence is still just a mortal. The gods cannot only count the level of divine power. You should be very clear about this principle, right?"

Amber Xiu nodded and said, "Of course I know. If you fight me now, I can only use this power to resist. I can't have a real chance of winning like Zariel. The power of the dragon clan is indeed beyond the reach of a mortal like me."

This is not modesty, but the truth.

The advantage of the dragon clan's gods is too obvious. If the law of hell is ignored, Zariel is probably not Tiamat's opponent. Amber Xiu, who relies entirely on the law of hell to protect himself, can only protect himself. It is impossible to suppress the evil dragon goddess like bullying Bayer.

Tiamat only needs to pay a little price to escape from hell.

That is to say, if there are really many gods entering this first layer of hell, Amberxiu may not be able to defeat them, because he can only rely on himself now, and other devil dukes will not provide him with any help.

Once Xirik gathers all the gods, Amberxiu is likely to become the first "god" to be killed in his own kingdom.

But it is precisely because of this that Amberxiu will take the initiative to attack.

Amberxiu put down the teacup in his hand and said to Tiamat very seriously: "Whether it is the great evil dragon goddess, the prince of lies, or the goddess of pain... my enemies all think so. I, a lich, am just a mortal. I occasionally get power comparable to that of gods, but my essence has not changed.

"This is what I want. I hope you will always keep this idea and treat me as an ordinary mortal. But you all overlooked one point. When I was still a mortal, I had to be submissive to you high and mighty gods, because our power was completely unequal, and I could only resist with words.

"But it's different now. I have the power to make you bleed."

Amber clenched his fist, and a huge amount of magic power gathered in his palm, turning into a beating heart of hell. This is the embodiment of the law of hell, and the huge pressure made Tiamat frown.

Amber continued: "When I was still a mortal, I dared to attack the gods with words. Now that I have become a god, how can I wait for you to come for revenge like a mortal. I should take revenge. I am the victim who has been bullied and threatened by the gods. Haven't you ever thought that I would take the initiative to attack you?

"After I became the master of this first layer of hell, Avernus, I have made a decision. This time, I won't bother the God of Gods Io to take action. I will take revenge myself and let them know what a real devil is! "

Tiamat only felt regret, but not regret for cooperating with Amber, but regret why she had to make enemies with him in the first place. If she had known that fate would be arranged like this, she would have given him benefits earlier. At that time, Amber was so poor that he couldn't even afford the potion of youth. Just giving him a drop of dragon blood would make him grateful.

Tiamat sighed and asked, "So what is your plan? Remind me, don't let me get involved."

"Respected evil dragon goddess, if you don't know, you don't need to lie for me and keep it a secret. This will make it much easier for you to face Cyric." Amber smiled politely at Tiamat and comforted her, "Don't worry, I am still cooperating with the dragon clan, and you, the mother of the five-colored dragon, are not on my revenge list."

Cooperation... If slavery, blood drawing and skinning can be considered cooperation...

Tiamat was about to say something, but heard Amber change the subject very abruptly: "Tiamat, the dragon gods have a long history and are the most knowledgeable gods. I want to ask you a question. If you can tell me, I will be very grateful. "

Tiamat asked doubtfully: "I am afraid your question is not easy to answer. Don't you have a good relationship with Oghma, the Lord of Knowledge? Is there a question that the Lord of Knowledge cannot answer?"

Amber said helplessly: "I asked the wise Oghma, but I didn't get a reply. So I want to ask, have you seen the goddess of fate?"
