Chapter 16: Finally Settled
"Pavel, I don't want to kill my friends with my own hands, don't force me!"
But the broken arm and the dimmer soul fire also showed that his current state was not optimistic.
"Friends, from the moment you choose to transform into a lich, we're not friends. The Grand Duke of the Rhine stood up with his sword in his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"But Pavel, you know? With a flick of the staff in Yulisel's hand, the skeletal arm that fell to the ground automatically picked it up.
"But you also know how much I hate the undead! For three hundred years, I have always wanted to kill Iloren with my own hands and avenge my parents!" "The Archduke of the Rhine was a little out of control, but he and Ulysel were the only ones on the battlefield, and he didn't care that he would be seen like this.
"Iloron also has unspeakable suffering, it was not his order to start a dark upheaval, he was just forced to carry it out. Ulysel was a little helpless, but at the top of the scepter gathered a blue orb, always on guard against a sudden attack by the Grand Duke of the Rhine.
After all, no matter how strong the lich is, it is also a spell-casting unit, and he still can't resist the warrior's sudden face.
"Lao Tzu didn't care what his troubles were, his undead legion occupied the entire Lake County back then, and the souls of millions of people were imprisoned in his body and became a member of his undead army.
"I saw my father fall to the ground, and it didn't take long for him to get back up and hold my uncle to the ground and bite him. At that time, the biggest fear of every Westerner was not death, but getting up again after death and attacking their relatives and friends. ”
Every word of the Grand Duke of the Rhine pierced Ulysel's heart.
After each Lich is successfully transformed, he must expand his undead army, after all, the Lich must rely on his army to gain a foothold in Hell.
For example, Ulysel's own undead army was only able to reach this size after he invaded the kingdom of Russell once and captured a large city with a population of one million.
However, there are also lichs who do not want to kill after transformation, and do not want to be enemies of humans, but they are all wiped out by a mysterious force or power.
And Iloron was the lich who was ordered to attack Lake County in the west of the Wallaine Kingdom and caused dark turmoil.
"But I want to know why you're on my territory, and you're planning to expand your legion in my Punas County this time?" the Archduke of the Rhine clenched the broken sword in his hand, and it was not difficult to see that he was a little nervous.
The Grand Duke of the Rhine admits that he is indeed no match for the lich in front of him, but as long as Ulysel dares to say a "yes", he will fly up and fight him.
"No, Pavel. I'm not mad enough yet. Ulysel shook his head. "I can't tell you the purpose of my visit, and if it weren't for your obstruction, I'd have gone back by now. ”
"Humph!"
Grand Duke Rhine snorted softly.
"I admit that I am no match for you now, after all, I cannot compare to a lich who has unlimited time and energy to study magic. ”
"I'm leaving, Pavel...... You'll win this time. Yulysel sighed softly and slapped his hand behind him, and a shattered entrance to the space appeared behind him.
"Hopefully the next time I see you, you'll still be alive. ”
With a few words, Ulysel turned around and disappeared behind the "door", and the broken space instantly healed and was intact.
The Grand Duke of the Rhine stared thoughtfully at the place where Ulysel had left.
"Lord Duke, Commander of the First Legion of the Rhine City, Lewandowski, reports to you!" a fifth-level warrior led a thousand-strong knight legion galloping from the north and stopping at the edge of the pit.
"Go and rendezvous with the Fourth Prince's troops, and I'll be there. The Grand Duke of the Rhine commanded without replying.
Listening to the sound of horses' hooves behind him fading away, he let out a long sigh.
"Old friend, I still can't figure out why you turned into a lich, is it just to study magic?..."
......
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, your subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored!" Simon held the reins of the unicorn in one hand and the three-meter-long riding spear in the other, and when he saw Murphy, he threw it all aside and hurriedly ran over.
"Yes, yes, yes. Murphy helped Simon to his feet, and after a word, he hurried to his horse.
It's better to be a horse of your own! It's docile and comfortable, unlike Simon's war horse, the saddle is not comfortable, and the ride is panicked.
And that didn't matter, the horse had a violent temper and almost knocked himself off three times in one night.
Murphy was instantly moved when he rode his unicorn, this saddle was really comfortable.
Riding a horse around the makeshift camp next to the official road, it became a resting place for the warriors after the undead were reclaimed by the lich Ulysel.
Some soldiers had bright smiles on their faces, and after this battle, many trainee soldiers in the soldier corps were able to successfully transfer to first-class soldiers, and the future is promising.
The arrival of the First Army of the Grand Duke of the Rhine greatly increased the confidence of the entire team.
Many soldiers were stupefied by the lich, and there was even a soldier with relatively weak mental power who had completely collapsed at this moment.
He asked, "Do you know the lich? Do you know how terrible the lich is?"
If the respondent replied that he didn't know, the devastated soldier would say a lot of things, such as what could eat three people in one bite, and even change color when he got angry, and even made up the scene where he was choked by the lich and sucked his soul.
In this regard, Murphy was also helpless, and could only send him back to the royal capital to recuperate after arriving in Rhine City.
"Are you all rested?" asked the Grand Duke of the Rhine, who flew from the sky in a strong wind.
"Tell the Grand Duke that the whole army has finished resting and is waiting for the return at any time. Simon and Lewandowski stepped forward at the same time to pray.
"Okay, call all the earth mages to come and fill the road, as for those trees that have been corroded by dead air, when you get back to the city, send a few more holy light magisters or arcanists to come and purify them. The Grand Duke of the Rhine nodded, and then commanded.
Seeing Lewandowski take the order, Archduke Rhine turned to Murphy and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.
"The stinky boy is doing well, and finally he hasn't disgraced you Sellers. ”
"You have won the prize, but I have only done some trivial work. Murphy said with a humble bow.
"It's not like the Prince Murphy I know, if you could do it before, you wouldn't have to boast about yourself to the sky. The Grand Duke of the Rhine was a little surprised.
There are five princes in the kingdom, who are in charge of east, west, north, south, and middle.
Among them, the fief of the Grand Duke of the Rhine is the closest Grand Duchy to the royal city, located in the center of the kingdom, so the Grand Duke of the Rhine is also known as the Grand Duke of the Middle Realm, he can be said to have watched several princes and princesses grow up, and he knows the temperament of each of them well.
And the fourth prince is the least worry-free among them, teasing cats and dogs, idle, idle, idle, unlearned, and proficient in everything from visiting the Qinglou to watch the wind and moon.
Could it be that Sorens guy has finally listened to his own method of education?
"Did your father hang you up and give you a smoking?" thought of this, the Archduke of the Rhine could not help but ask.
Murphy: "?!"
......
After more than an hour of casting spells by ten earth mages, the official path destroyed by the battle was finally filled and it was ready to walk.
So, more than 5,000 people marched towards the Rhine City.
