Act20 Battle of the Castle V.
Two fat legs shook a few times in mid-air, and the caveman felt the air in his chest pulling away from his lungs little by little, and he felt as if a flame was burning inside him, and he grew his mouth, wanting to gulp greedily the cold wind of the night—
The palm of the hand that grabbed his neck quickly lowered him down.
"Lord Notson, Lord Melville is still preparing for his calling, and he says that things seem to have encountered a little bit of a problem."
Although the Caveman Shaman and the Lich sound like they both belong to the profession of using spells, unlike the Lich who bases his magic power on the mysteries of knowledge, the Cavemen's mastery of spells is often due to the awakening of the bloodline-
This is also very understandable why only by stepping into the first stage of awakening can the special profession of shaman appear in the cave people's group.
"That idiot—"
The Lich Melville dropped the chain at a critical time, and to be honest, Notson was really annoyed -
Although the human castle must be taken, then again, if he loses too many troops, it is not within his acceptable situation. After a while, Robo, the "Caveman Soldier", finally breathed a sigh of relief from the pain of suffocation, and he followed closely behind Notson, and began to babble something again.
"Lord Notson, there are times when the Lich's spells don't seem to be more reliable than those of the Shaman."
He quietly belittled Melville the Lich in one sentence, and secretly exalted himself, "Perhaps, we need an alternative. ”
"Robo, we urgently need cannon fodder, cannon fodder now! Do you know? If you don't have a better idea, I'll let you put on armor and lead the charge! ”
"Don't, wait! Lord Notson, I don't want to face the swords of those human knights—"
"What the hell do you want to say!"
Notson's pace was fast, and as he made his way through the crowd of the undead, he found the lich who was still busy—
It seems that because of Robo's interruption, Melville's mood began to become disturbed, but he couldn't choose to escape from the current matter, so he had to forcibly calm down and continue to work-
He swung his staff, trying to re-engrave a summoning circle in another location using the white bone marrow fluid, but the sound of his footsteps getting closer and closer made him raise his head again.
The hood of the hood slipped off, revealing a sleek head.
The lich doesn't have a single hair on the top of his head, and in terms of hairstyle, he maintains the same style as Robo the caveman.
Robo!
He couldn't help but hate at the sight of that ugly face, and almost wanted to greet the female direct family of the caveman in person, if they were still alive—
The latter didn't pay attention to his hideous and distorted expression, and he glanced down at the silver white bone marrow fluid flowing through the mud like a winding stream.
"Lord Melville, it looks like you've failed again."
"Your sister—"
At this time, the lich had already spotted the death knight Notson in front of the caveman, although the caveman seemed to have a flat expression, but Melville could detect a hint of schadenfreude in his tone, he had a heart attack, but in such a short moment, he endured the curse words that were about to blurt out.
War is imminent, and internal disputes or conflicts are not a brainy move.
As a lich known for his wisdom and learning, he must not be like a stupid and cheap caveman.
"Melville, what's going on?"
Notson asked calmly -
Although there is a difference in the strength of the two, the Lich Melville is not a subordinate of Notson after all, not to mention that most of the undead troops gathered outside Kingfisher Castle at this time are from Melville's command.
Moreover, Notson has another layer of thoughts that he does not want to be known: the Lich Melville's military power basically comes from the "Black Blade Warlord" Sask, and if this battle is successfully won, he can take advantage of the situation to take this army into his own pocket.
He believed that he, as a veteran general of Diel, would never behave as clumsy as Sask's lowly skeleton -
When he heard that the kid had been wiped out by a team of human mercenaries, and that he had only escaped through the anchor stone, he almost didn't laugh his big teeth.
Mercenary?
How about these knights in the castle?
He had heard that these knights belonged to the elite of the human army, but at this time, in the face of his troops, they could only retreat into the castle.
"Your Excellency Notson, the arrangement of the summoning circle has encountered unexpected interference, and the situation is not going well. So far, there are only two summon points. ”
Melville, the lich, replied with a blank face, that he had taken the cavemen as air - and by "interference" he might be referring to Robo the caveman, or maybe something else.
"So, what if the summoning is done now?"
"There aren't too many creatures, and I think two small summon points can summon about a hundred skeleton warriors per hour at full capacity."
Hearing the Lich Melville's words, Notson was silent for a long time—
This amount of cannon fodder is too scarce, in some legends about the high-level lich of Dill in the human realm, which one is not a wave of a staff to summon thousands of necromantic legions, and in Melville, the number of a hundred seems so cold, it can't help but make people feel a little funny-
Of course, at this time, Notson didn't care to laugh at the lich Melville, he knew that this lich gentleman's current strength was not at all comparable to those "legendary figures".
"So, let's get started, it's just nightfall, and I'm hoping to see a thousand skeletons in the early hours of tomorrow morning."
"As you wish, Lord Notson. However, I want you to restrain the others so that they don't interfere with my work. ”
Melville, the lich, also took a special look at the caveman—
This hateful creature had disturbed his work more than once, and the matter of carving and summoning magic circles was quite familiar to an awakened lich, but for some reason, he always felt that his mana was disturbed by some special force.
What exactly is the situation?
The Lich Melville was intended, but Notson's orders were in front of him, and he didn't have much time to spare.
After Notson and Robo, the "Caveman Advisor", left, he returned to a summoning point he had carved earlier, entered his mana, and began the summoning ritual with a spell in his mouth.
……
Kingfisher Castle, lit up overnight.
On the hill, the members of the "Primordial Dream" mercenary group were in good spirits, and there was no sign of fatigue, and Levin withdrew his gaze from the direction of the castle, "Boss, why didn't the undead attack for a long time?" ”
