Chapter 223: The Lich
Ryder still remembers that after receiving Dini from the factory yesterday and telling him that he was going to fight the dark elves with the army today, Dinie's lonely expression made him feel distressed. The two walked towards Dini's house in silence, as if the laughter and laughter of the past had suddenly disappeared, and when Dini was sent home, Ryder was about to turn around and walk back, when Dini suddenly reached out and grabbed him, and whispered, "Don't go, okay?" โ
"I'm afraid this won't work." Ryder scratched his head and replied, "My current status is still a captive, and I can't disobey the orders of my lord, and besides, if no one goes, who else can protect Blue Star City?" โ
After hearing Ryder's answer, Dini was silent for a while, and then said to him: "Then you have to pay attention to safety, don't be a hero, don't ......" Dini stood there, babbling a lot of precautions, while Ryder stood there honestly and listened.
As she spoke, Dini fell silent again, and then, as if she had made up her mind, she suddenly hugged Ryder, kissed her on the cheek, and whispered with a flushed face: "You must come back, I will wait for you." Without waiting for Ryder to speak, he turned and ran home.
Thinking of this, Ryder touched the place where Dini kissed him, and a smirk appeared on his face. Then he picked up his pack with a firm look in his eyes, turned around and walked out of the tent, and at the same time secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must come back alive for the sake of Dini.
Take your eyes off Ryder, I brought all the heroes with me on this expedition, there are a total of twenty-nine heroes, namely: Dragon Knight Davidian - lv10; All-around Knight Priest Thunder's Fury - Lv10; Dark Ranger Trixie - Lv10; Izaror, Guardian of Light - Lv10; Panda Brewmaster Manjix - Lv10; Moon Knight Luna - Lv. 10; Paladin Chan โ Lv10; Invoker Karl โ Lv9; Bounty Hunter Gondor - Lv10, Invisible Assassin Riki - Lv10, Crystal Maiden Rylai - Lv9, Show Tease Magister Lena - Lv9, Hell Lord Abaddon - Lv10, Two-Headed Dragon Jakiro - Lv10, Axe King Mรถngke Khan - Lv8, Immortal Lord Bard Dez - Lv10, King of the Gods Zeus - Lv9, Naga Siren Siriss - Lv6, Skywrath Mage Zagonus - Lv7, Ursa the Bear - Lv6, The Bombermen Three Brothers - Lv5, Archmage Rubick - Lv6, Goblin Ripper Lazrec - Lv6, Chaos Knight Nesaki - Lv6, Elder Titan, Minotaur Chief - Lv6, Broodmother Spider Erazina - Lv6, Windranger Ryrelei - Lv6, Moon Princess Mirana - Lv6, Dwarf Helicopter Aurel - Lv7.
A total of twelve heroes have reached the full level and comprehended the ultimate skill, and the remaining heroes have been trained during this time, the most important thing is the battle with the Wyvern group some time ago, and the level has all been significantly improved. But what hurts me more is the level increase method of the three Bomberman brothers, and Nima has to get enough experience for the three of them to level up, which is too cheating.
Then, in the morning, the tavern refreshed a new hero, that is, the lich Acerian, this hero refreshed in a very timely manner, and recruited him just in time for him to command the undead mage troops. Besides, I can also push all of the undead creatures down on him.
The Lich was an ice mage named Acerian who threatened to bring devastating frost in an attempt to conquer an entire kingdom. Eventually, the civilians, with the help of a few desperate magicians, finally mustered up the courage to plot against him. They used some magical ropes to bind him forever, and after Acerian was tied to a heavy stone, the frost wizard was thrown into a lake that was said to be bottomless. But in fact, it is not, and the rope hangs right on a protruding stone when it sinks. He died there peacefully, but his body did not decay, and so on for 10,000 years, until the feng shui master Anhill came to verify the legend of the Lake of Darkness, which was considered to be a bottomless lake. Anhil's lowered tie was tied to the rope of the drowning wizard, and he pulled on the unexpected rein. Believing that by converting the dead into the undead, they could ask the lich about the lake, and he removed the ropes that bound the lich and performed a simple reincarnation ritual. Since Acerian's story has been erased by time, even the descendants of those who killed him no longer remember it, so no one could warn Anhir of his reckless behavior at the time. But then Anhill tasted the bitter fruits of his recklessness, and as soon as the lich broke free from the ropes, he devoured him.
After reading the introduction of the lich, this guy is a proper careerist, and if it weren't for the fact that the hero recruited from the tavern was 100% loyal to me, I would never have recruited him. Lich abilities include Frost Burst, Frost Armor, Evil Rite, and Chain Frost.
Frost Burst: Acerian uses the power of frost to blast devastating frost on enemies, dealing ice damage to the target and nearby units.
Frost Armor: Ace Ryan comprehends at lv3 to create a protective layer of Ice Armor for allied units, and enemies will be attacked by Cold Energy when attacking units with Ice Armor.
Evil Sacrifice: Realization at lv6 for Acerian, sacrifice an allied unit to restore mana for Acerian. This Nima skill is a money-burning skill at all, and I have to stipulate that Ace Ryan can't use this skill on troops other than skeleton warriors.
Chain Frost: Ace Ryan realizes at lv10 and releases a frost orb that can bounce between enemies, dealing massive ice damage to enemies.
After recruiting the Lich from the Tavern, the system sent out a prompt again, stating that the number of heroes I had recruited had reached thirty, and the cost of recruiting heroes would increase again from now on. When I heard the news, I felt a pain in my head, not because of the increased gold coins, but because of the magical energy. Nima was originally short of magic energy, but now that the number of heroes recruited has increased again, the magic energy will be even more stretched in the future.
In addition to the heroes, all the undead troops who had been staying in the undead base since they withdrew from the front line were also summoned by me to act with the army. I remember the look of surprise Wallace had when he saw my undead troops yesterday, especially after seeing the Abomination and the Frost Dragon, his eyes were so bright that they could be used as light bulbs. Then he started asking me questions, always trying to find out how these undead creatures he had never seen before were made.
How could I possibly know how I found out? I was just an imposter alchemist, and in the end, he couldn't help it, and after promising to give him an abomination and a frost dragon to study, he finally let me go.
I didn't take all the troops with me on this expedition, but left all the Terran infantry and a thousand Imperial Guards and five hundred crossbowmen in Blue Star City to guard against the possible small forces of the Dark Elf troops.
As lord of this territory, I accepted the forward mission given to me by the Duke of Ayers, and once my warriors had assembled, I set out to clear the way for the army. As a forward force, the main task is to send scouts to reconnoiter the enemy, and then clear the obstacles encountered by the large army in the rear.
After leading the troops into the forest, I sent out twenty groups of scouts that had been arranged, each consisting of five wolf knights, five huntresses, ten three-eyed wolves, five horned eagles, and five gargoyles.
After sending out the scout troops, I had Little Dai and the three Bombers ride on Jakiro's back, escorted by Zagonus and Orel, and set off first to lay mines on the Dark Elves' march route, trying to raise the level of the three Bombermen brothers to level 6 and learn to attack suicide before the two armies clash. Protected by four flying heroes, the three Bombermen brothers should be in no danger when they plant mines.
In the end, I placed all the mountain giants in front of the troops to be responsible for opening the way, uprooting all the trees that stood in the way of the march and stacking them neatly aside. These trees can be used to make furniture, so it's a shame to throw them away, and when the battle is over, let the troops bring them back to the city on the way back, and let the furniture factories outside the city process them into furniture and sell them.
After walking like this for three days, Xiao Dai and others, who had planted mines in front, were first attacked by the enemy's scout troops. The enemy's scout force is a mixed force of Manticore, Harpy, Lizard Knight, and Minotaur.
The first to discover the other party was of course Xiao Dai and others who had a system map, and after discovering the enemy, Xiao Dai and the others did not talk nonsense, and directly launched an attack. The first is that Xiao Dai directly turned into a real dragon form, and directly used the dragon tail swing towards the only manticore lion beast in the enemy force, and knocked the manticore lion beast from the sky into the ground, and directly solved it.
After Zargonus had dealt with the Manticoremon with Little Dai, a concussive bolt of light was thrown at the gathered Harpys, sending them trembling. Then Orel took advantage of the opportunity of the Harpy's whole body paralyzed after being hit by a concussive light bullet, and rushed to the Harpy and used the rocket barrage, killing all the Harpy at once.
