Chapter 47: Edlaide

The unusual shouting of killing naturally caught the attention of the dark wizard, and she awoke from the energy world within herself and looked out of her cell. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Outside, in the hallway, a lich scurried around forty or fifty skeletons.

The lich wears intricate gray robes and carries a crystal staff entwined with lightning.

Its eyes were rotten to some point, and only two pinpoint-like red glows appeared in their sockets.

"Edlaide?"

The Dark Wizard recognized each other at a glance.

This lich spell is very powerful, and it took a lot of effort when Yeyue subdued him in the first place.

After Night Moon's army of the undead paid a heavy price to break through the mage tower in the Death Wilderness Wizard's Domain, the lich was able to break out of the siege with his own life box.

In the end, the former Ranger General Alfalfa, who has the ability to track down the sky, finally tracks him down and shoots him in the head with the "Forest Light".

It was then that Nightmoon was able to sign a soul pact with the other party, and let the lich design capture his friend, the current lich leader Bol.

Now, like the other souls in the Wastes of Death who have had their doors opened by Night Moon, Edlaide appears to be loyal.

I don't know if I hold a grudge.

A wave of mental turmoil came, and the lich's teleportation technique arrived: "Chief, I've come to protect you." ”

The Lich had arrived from Wizard's Ridge, fifty kilometers away, and it was one of the first to receive a message from the moon to the undead.

The dark wizard lay still and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"A thousand or so humans have stormed Castle Black."

"Humans?"

――――――――――――――――

This invasion of tens of thousands of human armies can be regarded as attracting a considerable degree of attention from the undead of Castle Black.

But it was enough to draw a few more high-level undead from the stronghold within twenty kilometers of Castle Black.

Including the Black Knight Castle, the High Zombie Dungeon, and the Crypt Demon Lair.

Wizard's Ridge, where Edlaide is located, is fifty kilometers away and is not in the range of forced extraction.

But the lich is the main force that controls the lower undead, and many of them have set off with the undead army.

And Edlaide happened to have important magical research, so he didn't go.

So the High Lich who received the message from the moon became the first Lich to arrive, and it happened to be attacked by humans.

With a force of 10,000 people to attract the attention of possible forces in the Death Wilderness, and to attack the Black Castle with elite troops, the human race used a strategy similar to that used when Yeyue died in his previous life.

It turned out that Yeyue, who had suffered a loss once, was prepared.

If it weren't for Matt's sudden appearance and insertion, Night Moon would have been able to discover and eliminate these so-called "human elites" by relying on the low-level undead that she could control.

But now, she had just lost her strength and had just woken up.

The Black Castle and several strongholds within a radius of twenty kilometers were also equally empty, and there were not many high-level undead left.

There are even dozens of high-level undead in the Black Castle, and this is still the number of undead who have come one after another because of the message of the month.

And there are even fewer high-level undead at the Grandmaster level like Edlaide.

However, the human team that invaded this time was indeed quite elite, and in a short time, they passed through the sparse number of zombies outside the castle and lost the control of the night moon, and rushed into the castle.

The high undead in the castle are still resisting everywhere.

Because the news of the Night Moon's loss of power was blocked, these high-level undead did not know that the leader did not have the ability to defend and scout the surroundings of the Black Castle, so they were in a state of unpreparedness and scattered.

All the coincidences came together, allowing this human army that attacked at this time to take advantage of it.

It was in this situation that Edlaide was forced to the vicinity of the dungeon.

――――――――――――――――――

The shouts of killing have become clearer and clearer.

"Looks like we've been stuck underground......"

After listening to the cause and effect, the Lord of the Undead pondered for a long time and said, "The order to reinforce the Black Castle has been issued for a long time. ”

She still didn't get up.

"Yes."

"So, reinforcements will come one after another. If I don't make a move, will you be able to hold the basement until then? ”

"The leader is testing me?"

"Whatever you want."

The dark wizard was noncommittal, and the loss of power was still a secret anyway.

"Yes."

"Mo, if you can still move, help me close the door."

The dark wizard said to the little orc who had been staring at him burningly since just now.

The cell door was closed, so I could be safe.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Humans have finally stormed the dungeon.

It was a group of soldiers with the red lion insignia on their armor, they were strong and well-equipped, and although they only rushed in with more than twenty people, the skeletons in the dungeon were far from their opponents.

However, the skeletons were able to hold back the ferocious human soldiers with their agility and fearlessness.

The lich hid behind the skeleton and cast two natural spells, "Fear Aura" and "Paralyzing Touch", and seven or eight humans fell in an instant.

The skeletons took the opportunity to push forward, and the humans retreated.

But soon, more than a dozen warriors with red lion insignia rushed in from the entrance of the building, and the skeleton soldiers soon fell a dozen more.

Humanity easily regained the upper hand.

Suddenly, lightning flickered in the hallway, and the lich unleashed the magic he had been preparing for a long timeβ€”thunderclouds.

The bright light and hot plasma lasted for five minutes, and when the lightning cleared, Edlaide was the only one standing alone in the hallway.

He crushed even the skeleton soldiers he had brought.

"It doesn't seem that difficult."

He turned back and bowed.

The dark wizard looked at the charred walls outside the cell door and the dozens of human corpses that had been charred by electricity, and nodded approvingly, "Good." ”

Another human soldier stormed the dungeon.

This time there were even more people, 50 of them.

It seems that the resistance of the rest of Castle Black has been gradually eliminated, so this position, which encounters unusual resistance, has attracted more soldiers.

The lich spent a lot of time reciting the incantation, and before the humans who rushed in could figure out what was going on, the "black charcoals" on the ground stood up one by one.

They soon became entangled with humans.

Then, with a wave of his hand, the entire passage outside the cell door was covered with frost.

The frost had no effect on the walking corpses, but it did affect the actions of humans.

The soldiers, of course, knew who they should be the first to eliminate at this point, and they launched a heroic charge against the abominable lich.

But the passage is not wide after all, and the black charcoal successfully blocked the road.

After another incantation, a torrent of icy water mixed with ice poured down out of thin air, dousing all the characters in the corridor.

The magic of the frost was still at work, condensing the ground and the water on all people into ice.

The black charcoal didn't care about the ice on their bodies at all, they just wore another layer of ice armor.

And these humans are going to freeze, and it seems that they will inevitably be killed by Edlaide.

"It seems that there is no problem, he should really be able to hold out until the reinforcements return."

The dark wizard, who had been hiding in the torture bed in his cell and watching the battle, breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, a petite red figure appeared from behind the soldiers.

This man broke through the defense line of the "black carbon" at great speed,

In a flash of cold light, a sword had slashed at Edlaide's head.

With a "clang", the long sword seemed to have encountered an obstacle in a place where there was nothing.

It's a high-defense barrier.

The lich seemed to smile sarcastically, and he raised his staff, another spell about to strike.

At this time, "Red Shadow" suddenly pronounced a word.

Her sword burst into flames of red magic.

It's a fiery and powerful magical flame.

With a "wave", the barrier shattered.

The lich looked taken aback for a moment, and he began to retreat.

However, the red shadow was faster, and with a flash of fire, the lich's head was cut off.

"It's over."

The dark wizard in the cell raised his forehead with his hand and said softly.

――――――――――――――――――――――

Wearing a bright red battle armor, delicate facial features with a sinister aura, and arrogant silver eyes, the red shadow that was as fast as the wind just now was the princess Anna.

Night Moon remembers that Helen said that Anna is a powerful warrior, and it seems that this is not an exaggeration at all.

The Black Carbons are still carrying out a suicidal attack, and they seem to know their fate next: even if they are not broken by human weapons, they will be incapacitated due to the mental exhaustion caused by this violent movement, and they will return to the path of waiting for death.

Anna no longer paid attention to the battle behind her, she pointed to Edlaide's still red-eyed head on the ground, and suddenly asked, "William, is this the legendary lich?" ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

A whitebearded mage appeared at the entrance to the dungeon, dressed in a red, gold-trimmed mage robe, carrying a hardwood staff, and with a kind and kind face.

"It's not as great as the legend says."

Anna spoke with disdain.

"I can't say that," the old mage said earnestly, "the lichs are indeed powerful and dangerous, and if it weren't for your highness, wearing the armor of the red wind that can greatly accelerate and the sword of the fire elves that is invincible, I am afraid we would not have won so easily." ”

"Got it."

Anna was visibly unimpressed, and she plunged her sword into the lich's skull on the ground, and the flare's horrible skull, whose eyes still shone red, turned into charcoal.

Another samurai with a team rushed over.

Another acquaintance, this female warrior is the assassin Tia who has had two contacts with the dark wizard in the divine blessing.

Her outfit had changed today, not the tight-fitting killer outfit, but a very orthodox set of steel officer-style armor.

She wore no helmet on her head, her beautiful long pink hair was haphazardly tied behind her head with a rope, and her face was still covered by her iron mask.

Anna had already noticed the night moon in the cell, and with a swing of her sword, she split the iron barred door made of stainless steel.

Seeing Anna walk in, Mo struggled to stand up and block in front of Yeyue......
