thirty-two

As the kobold patrol appeared at the entrance to the passage, the four petrified guards caught their attention. Natasha immediately covered them with a soundproof barrier, and Guderian and the warriors rushed into the patrol at that moment. The battle ended smoothly and quickly. The mages each took out various test tubes containing unknown liquids and poured them onto the kobolds' corpses, which soon melted into puddles of stinking water.

Guderian and his party carefully borrowed various shadows to enter the cave through the passageway, and the stone walls of the cave were illuminated by the enemy's torches at intervals, and although it was a little dim, it was still possible to see the general situation inside the cave. The cave has four passage entrances, each guarded by kobolds. The distances between these entrances differed, and Guderian gestured to the warriors in the shadows - lurking from both sides, trying to eliminate the entrance guards at both ends at the same time, and then trying to stop the guards of the other two entrances from sounding the alarm before they could react. Guderian's warrior thinking did not take into account the existence of Natasha and other mages, but he didn't know that when Guderian and the warriors launched an attack on the kobold guards at the two entrances, Natasha and the mages had already eliminated the kobolds at the other two entrances as soon as possible. After the simple and crude flesh melted and destroyed the corpse, everyone looked at Guderian with a headache - there were four entrances to the passage.

Guderian lost his memory, Natasha and the mages blocked the passage with a soundproof wall, and said: "We are divided into groups, and after reconnoitring the terrain that we have explored before, we will retreat to the rear line of defense and wait for the passage, and if there is an enemy, we will retreat first." ”

"Good. Natasha agreed. So Guderian divided the group into four groups, and then chose a passage for himself. Natasha's warriors and mages who had been assigned to Guderian's group followed.

The passage here is much narrower than the defensive line, only six or seven meters wide and more than four meters high. The passage was also very short, and the next exit was seen in the swaying light of the torches planted by the enemy on the stone wall, and the kobold guards on the side of the exit. From that exit came a loud noise of indescribable noises.

After petrifying the guards, Natasha and Guderian lurked outside the exit and looked— A cave that was even bigger than the previous one was lit with fire, and countless kobolds were carrying or forging various instruments under the supervision of some minotaurs and drow, and some were gathering in a formation without knowing what the purpose was, and in the middle of the cave was a towering altar, above which two thick chains locked a demon with two horns and wings on its head to a huge stone pillar, and a group of drow mages were extracting and cutting flesh from the demons around the altar, and the demons were screaming and crying out in pain.

Guderian and Natasha probably finished the scene in the cave a lot, and without finding the enemy's main force, they retreated.

"We're going to withdraw, Drow Mage, we're going to tear down the plane barrier and open the demon's door!" Natasha sealed the exit with a soundproof wall.

So Guderian and Natasha led the crowd to quickly retreat to the first cave. At this time, a battle was taking place in the first cave. I saw that the three groups of people who had been separated before were about to be forced to besiege together by a group of skeletons of various species, and a steady stream of skeletons were pouring out of the other three caves to join the encirclement. Armed with all sorts of rusted swords or swords, these skeletons unconsciously rushed towards the encircled warriors and mages, blasting them into bone dregs with all sorts of brilliant spell explosions, only to be reinforced, endlessly.

Guderian and his entourage didn't say a word, they directly let go of the firepower and tore apart the skeletons on the periphery, and rushed over to join everyone.

"The mage tore open the encirclement in the direction of the retreat, and I broke off with General Guderian!" Natasha looked solemn.

So the mages collectively erupted into large fireballs in the arch of the warriors, and in the scorching explosion wave, the encirclement in the direction of the passage of the defense line was emptied, and everyone immediately escorted the mages towards the passage. Guderian and Natasha stayed last, holding off the countless skeletons that continued their pursuit.

"Truly...... We meet again, my materials. A shrill hoarse laugh echoed through the massive cavern, and a figure in a black cloak appeared above the cavern.

"Fortan Julis?" Guderian said with a slight stunnedness. At this time, most of the people had already retreated into the passage of the defensive line, and only Natasha and Guderian were on the slope of about twenty meters outside the passage.

"Boom...... It seems that I have made a very deep impression on you!" Fortan Ulis waved his hand, and several blue lights shot out. Out of nowhere, Natasha pulled out a sapphire staff as tall as her and pushed it against the blue light, floating in front of Guderian. For a moment, a wall of ice stood in front of Natasha and Guderian. The burst of blue light blasted several skull-sized freezes on the ice wall.

"Hmm, the backward archmage, or a little beauty...... You will all be servants of the great Fortan Ullys!" Fortan Ulis flashed twenty meters in front of Natasha and Guderian, and his cloak was flipped down, revealing his hideous and withered bald head. The moment Fortan Julius flashed, his hands were already raised high, and a huge lightsaber appeared above his hands. At the same time, three equally dark figures also flashed more than ten meters away from Fortan Ulys, and they also used various magic spells to aim at Natasha and Guderian.

Natasha had already propped up a bright yellow oval shield to cover herself and Guderian the moment her figure appeared, and then the staff was stretched across her plump chest and her mouth was chanting. At the same time, Guderian drew his bow and arrows and shot three arrows at the three figures who had just appeared near Fortan Ullis. Retreating to the defensive line, a group of mages in the passage also gathered at the entrance of the passage, condescendingly inspiring a sea of fireballs towards Fertan, Eulis, and the three figures that had just appeared.

At the same time as the three figures appeared, in addition to the one explored by Guderian and Natasha in the cave, a steady stream of minotaurs and Drow converged in the Sea of Skulls in the cave and pursued Guderian and Natasha.

The lightsaber slammed into the bright yellow oval light mask, followed by an ice gun and two large fireballs, dimming the light yellow light mask that had been swaying by the light saber. The shockwave of the fireball burst sent Natasha's long fiery red hair and flaming red dress flying all over the air, and at the same time, Natasha's prepared spell descended in front of the sea of fireballs of mages at the entrance of the passage behind her—a huge black vortex pulled the three figures and Fertan Ullis, who had just thrown out the lightsaber, and then the explosion of the sea of fireballs annihilated the four figures. Guderian was at a loss in such a spell battle, and the enemy didn't bother to pay attention to the arrows he had shot earlier, allowing them to crash into the instantaneous stone skin. At this moment, in the midst of the fireworks, Guderian could only pull out his slasher and deflect away the feathered arrows that Drow had fired at Natasha and him.

"Let's go!" Natasha floated and let go of the black vortex, floating and dragging Guderian's arm towards the entrance of the passage behind. It's just that a bald head stopped six meters in front of him, and although his cloak and black robe were damaged a lot, and his face also had many burnt marks, it didn't seem to have been hurt much. At the same time, the three figures were embarrassed to surround the left and right and the back more than ten meters away. These three were different, almost naked all over their bodies, all kinds of scorching and bloodstains, and seeing that the injuries they had suffered were not light, it was only then that they could see that their identities were Master Drow.

"Do you want to go?" Fortan Ulis pointed at Guderian the moment he appeared. A scarlet light rushed in.

Guderian was dragged by Natasha and had no time to break free, so he had to slash across the path of the scarlet ray. "When!" an explosion sounded in Guderian's ears, and the huge momentum pushed Guderian and Natasha back three or four steps. Death fingers! Guderian remembered it vividly.

Natasha had been preparing her spell when the Lich fired the Finger of Death, but the impact of the Finger of Death's blow on Guderian's blade knocked her and Guderian back, interrupting the final casting gesture. After firing the Finger of Death, the lich stretched out his withered hands in Natasha's direction, muttering words in his mouth. Natasha was shocked back and immediately blessed herself and Guderian with frost armor, only to see that the two of them were surrounded by white frost in the shape of five or six shields. After being shaken back, Guderian leaped towards the lich with his backhand as Natasha blessed the frost armor.

The distance of less than ten meters was only a blink of an eye under Guderian's full outburst.

"When!click~click~click" followed by a sound of gold and iron, it was a screeching sound like something scraping on the glass. Guderian's slash was blocked by the lich's right arm, and the slasher rubbed against the lich's arm as Guderian pressed it hard. And because of Guderian's shock, it also interrupted the unknown magic of the lich. At this time, the Drow mage who was around Natasha and behind him finally joined forces to cast an azure ice ball hanging more than ten meters above Natasha, radiating snowstorm and frost from Natasha as the center for a while.

Guderian felt the biting cold and wanted to turn back to rescue Natasha, but he couldn't turn back, the lich's strength was surprisingly great, and he used the power of controlling the blood to barely suppress the lich back.

Natasha was frozen into an ice sculpture in the snow, wind and frost, and the mages at the entrance of the defense line had no way to provide any support between the lightning and flint, and could only use various spells to hinder and attack the skeletons and minotaurs who were about to merge with them.

After suppressing the lich, Guderian swung his sword and continued to attack, causing the lich's misjudgment to disappear. Only then did Guderian have a chance to turn around and see Natasha's beautiful ice sculpture with her eyes closed, and she couldn't help but be anxious and angry. The long golden hair, which had been tied into a ponytail, exploded on its own and flew into the air, and the black eyes ignited with golden flames - "You all have to die!" With a roar, Guderian's figure rushed towards the joint force with the light of the sword

Three Drow mages of the Arctic Realm spells. As soon as the three of them recovered from the spell casting guidance, their vision was the blonde hair and sword light flying in the sky, and they were in a different place before the thought of instantaneous spells was born.

From the Lich's Death Finger teaming up with the Drow Mage to cast the Arctic Cold Domain, to Guderian and Natasha being knocked back, to Natasha blessing herself and Guderian with frost armor, to Guderian rushing to the Lich to force the Lich to flash, to Guderian looking back and seeing Natasha turn into an ice sculpture, to the three Drow Mages being in different places, it was only a matter of half a minute. The surrounding skeletons and minotaurs were suppressed by the mages at the entrance of the defense line, and they had to surround more than thirty meters away and not be able to enter. At this time, the Minotaur and Drow, who were shooting arrows in a distant formation, saw the death of the three Drow mages, and couldn't help but stop advancing and attacking. Similarly, the Witch who dodged Guderian's frontal attack appeared near the three Drow mages, and watched them die before they could rescue them. A chill rose from the lich's soul - this person was no longer as weak as he had seen more than a month ago! This was the most advanced of the three high-level mages who were close to the existence of the archmage!

Of course, it is a fact that Natasha's black vortex, the Great Splitting Technique, and the sea of fireballs of the mages at the entrance of the defense passage, have already injured three Drow mages. In the same way, it is also true that they have just joined forces to cast the Extreme Cold Realm. However, this is not the reason why Guderian was able to kill them in an instant. Even if they were at their peak, Guderian could kill them in an instant - the speed and power, the cold chill in those eyes, made the lich make such a judgment.

The lich looked solemnly at Guderian, who had just killed three drow mages. The Lich did not take the initiative to attack again, but was only vigilant to flash at any time - this kind of spatial spell, which few archmages can master, is a necessary skill for the Lich to kill people and set fire to his home travel.

Guderian glanced coldly at the lich and turned back to Natasha's ice sculpture. There was no movement in the entire cave, and all of them were staring at this man who looked like a demon god. Guderian didn't know if Natasha was dead, so he didn't dare to act rashly, and while guarding the enemies around him, he stared closely at Natasha who was being frozen in mid-air, the reason why the ice was in mid-air was because Natasha was floating at the time, and after turning into an ice sculpture, the position hanging under her feet was supported by icicles more than one meter high.

"Let's go!" Guderian shouted to the mages and warriors at the entrance to the passage. But Guderian did not leave Natasha's ice sculptures.

The mages took a deep look at Natasha and Guderian before the warriors descended into the passage. The surrounding enemies can only watch them leave without the Lich's orders.

The lich had no intention of continuing to pursue these humans. Now it's time to think about what to do with this kid, the girl in the ice sculpture, hum, even if she doesn't die, she will have half a life.

Guderian was on guard around the ice sculptures, and the enemy was also eyeing the surroundings, but no one attacked. This confrontation lasted for nearly ten minutes, and finally broke with the arrival of another black figure.

"%....../+&@?" The black figure is the Drow Archmage who fought against Natasha that night. The Drow Archmage said something to the lich that Guderian did not understand. The lich just nodded. Guderian couldn't guess what the other was communicating.

After talking to the lich, the black figure came to Guderian ten meters away, and pulled away the hood on his head, revealing a swarthy, handsome, but somewhat old face.

"Human, is this your lover?" said the old mage Drow, grimacing, in the lingua franca of the human realm.

Guderian was a little surprised, but he just looked coldly at the Drow mage and did not speak.

"Although we are enemies, we admire heroes. Don't worry I'm taking advantage of others. "Drow mage tried to get Guderian to let his guard down.

"Who are you?" said Guderian.

"I, Kechiris, the seventy-second generation of the Sun King's bloodline. "Master Drow is very sincere.

"She, is there any salvation?" Guderian didn't know much about spells, and now he had to ask the enemy about his situation.

"With her archmage's physique, she doesn't die so easily. "Drow didn't explain much.

Guderian knew that Natasha was still alive, and his previous anger subsided a lot. It's just that how to wake up Natasha from the ice sculpture has become the current problem.

"As long as you and your lover work for us, I can save her. "Mage Drow is very direct.

Guderian was speechless......

"Or, help me find something, and I can save her. Drow continued.

"What's that?" Guderian was intrigued.

Old Mage Drow stared at Guderian for a moment and said, "A flying machine, like a disc, is very large. The whole body is made of metal. ”

"Huge flying machines, discs made of metal?" Guderian had never heard of, "I've never heard of anything like this." I've heard that the elves and dwarves have airships on the continent. ”

Seeing that Guderian's appearance was not fake, the old mage shook his head and said, "You only need to go to the Imperial Library of Dayu and you will find the relevant information on the top floor. When the time comes, you'll find the location of the aircraft, and you'll find me with any Drow. ”

Guderian didn't know what secret was behind this information, but Guderian knew that Natasha had to be rescued. After thinking for a while, Guderian said, "How can I believe that you can save her?"

"You have no choice but to trust me, do you?" said the old mage, smirking.

Guderian looked around, all enemies. No matter how powerful he is, he can't break through to the ground with Natasha's ice sculpture and let other archmages rescue him.

"I forgot to tell you that those who are frozen by the Extreme Cold Realm will fall into a deep sleep, and if there is no way to forcibly melt the ice sculptures from the outside, then the frozen ones will also die. The only way to do this is to keep the frozen effect alive and then use our Drow special methods to awaken the consciousness of the frozen person and let her break through the ice from the inside out. Of course, the person who can get into the Extreme Cold Realm and not die immediately is either an archmage or a strong person like you, and maybe there is another way. You can try. The old mage smiled and groaned, looking like he was leaving.

Guderian did not dare to take any chances, and hesitated to quietly gaze at the moving figure in the ice sculpture. Suddenly, Guderian felt himself see Natasha's eyelashes move......
