Hundreds of meters away from the dense fog, a dark undead war fortress was like a black ghost, quietly suspended on the pitch-black sky, overlooking the No. 2 military station under the thick fog on the ground.

From the ground came the sound of fierce gunfire, like bursts of thunder near and far.

Looking down, the undead war fortress appeared and disappeared in the dense fog, shuttling back and forth around the second military station, and the light of the magic cannon crisscrossed and flickered in the thick fog.

I don't know how many war fortresses, the second military station on the ground is besieging it.

On the ghostly fortress of war, a black figure wrapped in black robes was intently looking down at the dense fog below, as if his eyes could penetrate the thick fog and observe the fierce battle on the ground.

His face was hidden deep in the shadow of his hood, and it was impossible to see clearly, but in the darkness he could clearly see two faint green flames dancing in the area of his eyes.

At the same time, it also reveals its identity as a noble lich of the Eternals.

Lichs, who have endless lifespans, are all powerful and feared by all, and are leaders in dark and necromancy.

They were so powerful that they had all but ruled the world, even if the elemental spells, priests, and knights had come together to barely be able to compete with them.

Two thousand years later, the whole world still lives in their shadows, in fear. It is precisely because of fear that humanity has joined forces to exterminate them at any cost.

More than 2,000 years ago, there were no such creatures as lichs in the world, and at most there were only a handful of magicians who studied the magic of life.

When the High Priest of the Dead appears. This is what brought this powerful race into the world.

The High Priest of the Dead is using eternal life as bait. Tempting mages to join him.

Immortality has always been one of the ultimate human pursuits.

For thousands of years. Mages who are constantly coming to the end of their lives renounce their faith and plunge into the arms of darkness in order to gain immortality for their souls.

To this day, no one knows how many lichs there are under the command of the High Priest of the Undead, but it is certain that after two thousand years of development and growth, the number of lichs must be very large.

Although in the last war, the Lich who followed the High Priest on an expedition to the human continent suffered heavy losses. One by one, the more well-known lichs sank into the sand, and their souls dissipated into the heavens and the earth.

But to this day, there are still enough people to take part in this battle against humanity.

Just as the lich was thinking, a voice rang out behind him.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency Edwood. A figure in the same costume approached and whispered.

The figure in deep thought raised his head, looked at the man, and said slowly, "My dear Willibald, is there something wrong?"

"Yes, Lord Edwood. Willibald looked worriedly at the fog outside the fortress of war. "We've been playing for an hour, what should we do next?"

Everyone is still waiting for your instructions. ”

Although after transforming from a creature to a lich. It has almost completely abandoned human emotion, but now it can't help but worry about the current situation.

Edwood was silent for a moment, and then an emotionless hoarse voice sounded, "How's the battle going now?"

Willibald let out a heavy sigh, shook his head, and said, "It's not good, the fog is too big, and our people can't let go of their hands and feet."

And it seems that humanity has been prepared for a long time, and our magic cannon is not a big threat to the human fortress. ”

Edwood pondered for a moment and said, "We can't go on like this, we must break the human defenses." ”

"Who's to say it isn't......" Willibald's tone was full of anxiety, "the swarm won't last a few days."

Helemans, who was supervising the battle on the ground, said that if he could not enter the human fortress within two days and use the human as food, the insects would no longer be able to control it.

If there is no more food, the bugs will kill each other and prey. ”

Edwood's eyes flashed, and he said hatefully: "These brainless reptiles, we shouldn't have pinned our hopes on them in the first place." ”

Willibald shook his head and said, "If it weren't for them, we wouldn't be able to stop the human race from going north." His Majesty's resting place will eventually be revealed.

So far, they've been useful. ”

Edwood snorted noncommittally, staring at the fog in front of him, and scolded these fools who had maggots in their heads.

With the advent of Lorraine, with the rise of alchemy like a comet, humanity has undergone a sea change, and it is no longer the weak race it used to be.

The undead are no longer powerful compared to humans armed to the teeth.

Their advantage now lies in being in the shadows.

In the face of the enemy's attack, what should be done is to lurk deeply, wait for the opportunity, launch a guerrilla maneuver with the enemy, and consume a large amount of the enemy's vital forces.

Instead of recklessly engaging in a head-on battle with the enemy, as is the case now.

Tens of millions of insect swarms and dozens of war fortresses were mobilized, and they looked vigorous and terrifying, but in the end, they couldn't even swallow a temporary barracks of the enemy.

I really should tie up all these fools who are fighting a decisive battle and send them to the Holy See of Light~!

Willibald didn't know what Edwood was thinking, but he was preoccupied.

Although he didn't have Edwood's wisdom, he also knew that the humans had struggled to fight the lich to a draw, and then easily wiped out the flash army that invaded the continent, and now set foot on the land of the dead. How long after that they will destroy all the lichs and overthrow the throne of the High Priest?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but fight a cold war, forcing himself not to think about it anymore.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly murmured, "If only Hylord, Marcel, and Enes were still around." ”

"Huh?" Edwood snorted, glancing back at him.

The chill in his eyes was as cold as a knife.

Willibald suddenly came to his senses and said the wrong thing.

The lichs he mentioned were the best of the pack. But not so long ago in the Second Patriotic War. But they all died on the human continent. Never came back.

And they have one thing in common, both were once strong contenders to Edwood the Lich.

Herod, in particular, has long been competing with Edwood for favor in front of the High Priest of the Dead. The two of them used to fight very fiercely.

He said in front of Edwood that he hoped those people would live, and the implication was that Edwood was not as capable as those people.

Isn't it Edwood's taboo?

Willibald hastened to explain: "Your Excellency, I didn't mean that, I mean, if they're still there. We...... We're going to be a little bit stronger. ”

After finishing speaking, I couldn't help but feel a burst of tightness on my body.

Edwood is notoriously cautious among the Lich, with a petty, jealous, and capricious personality.

Although all the lich's personalities are very cold, vindictive, and narrow-minded, it is easy to imagine how unlikable Edwood is to be judged by his own kind of lich kind.

Of course, if it weren't for this perverse personality, he wouldn't have dared to come up with the crazy idea of kidnapping a dragon back then.

Sometimes you can't help but admire the treacherous nature of fate.

It was because he robbed the dragon clan. Attracts the attention of the archmage Lester, and then goes to Lorraine Castle to investigate. Then there was the birth of Lorraine.

If not. His Excellency the dignified Flying Eagle God of War is still squatting in the countryside, gnawing on old corn and marrying a big fat daughter-in-law. gave birth to a few bare-bottomed sheep herding babies, and did nothing for the rest of their lives.

Or being a happy screenwriter and director in some theater troupe, writing a lot of scripts on the street, and unsubtly telling beautiful actresses or something from time to time, it is also a lifetime of inaction.

Willibald timidly glanced at Edwood, for fear that Edwood would be angry and send him to the ground to attack the human fortress, which would be no different from sending him to death.

Edwood glanced at him, and to Willibald's surprise, he actually laughed.

He raised his hand, patted Willibald lightly on the shoulder, and said leisurely: "I know what you mean, my dear Willibald, if there is Herod, it will be very wonderful." ”

If he could sweat, Willibald was already in a cold sweat, and he lowered his head timidly and whispered, "Yes, Your Excellency." ”

Like all worlds, the mage's world follows the law of the jungle, which is the law of the jungle. People with low skills can only make promises in front of the masters.

Edwood looked out the window into the dark and muttered, "It's so boring to play this game alone." ”

There was a bit of depression in his tone.

Now that the lich of the wasteland is headed by him, and no one has come to compete with him for the position of the undead high priest to sit the number one lich, Edwood can't lift his spirits.

Those big people who once surprised the storm are all dead, and there is no place to bury them, only he is alive and well, and he has become the de facto victor.

However, Edwood was not happy, and when he looked back at the peak of the victors, he suddenly found that compared to life and death, their previous struggles were like children's farce.

I was afraid that the undead high priest thought like this at that time, so he let them fight each other.

After figuring it out, Edwood felt that these wars, battles and the like were very boring, as a genius mage from Maple Leaf Danlin, one of the most outstanding doctors in the history of the academy, he should have higher pursuits.

What Willibald said, if it was the former Edwood, he would definitely be furious, give him a good look, and let him remember it for a long time.

But now Edwood only thinks it's very funny: Your level of Willybald is only so high, and I am in my current realm, you don't understand~!

Edwood shook his head and said, "This kind of attack can't break through the human defenses, forget it, go back, we have to come up with a new plan." ”

Willybald breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Edwood really didn't care about his offense, and the energy of the war fortress couldn't last long until now.

After more than an hour of indiscriminate bombardment, the undead once again returned in vain and gave up the attack.

With a shrill whistle, swarms of black war fortresses rose from the thick fog and formed a formation in the air, flying towards the north.

Edwood looked at the fortress of war that accompanied him to the left and right. I couldn't help but shake my head slightly. This is all that remains of the once glorious Eternals.

Think about when you just set out to conquer the Great Category Continent. The undead have nearly three hundred war fortresses, which can be described as unparalleled.

Only two years have passed, and there are only more than 80 left.

Humans, on the other hand, have built more than 300 war fortresses and occupied almost the entire sky.

If it weren't for the fog, the undead wouldn't even dare to come out.

Edwood laughed miserably, quite a sense of vicissitudes, but this qiē happened in just three years.

For the lich's hundreds of years of life, two years is just a time to sleep.

The war fortress complex went all the way to the north. A few hours later, before the morning sun rose, a field covered with snow appeared beneath the fortress of war.

The undead war fortress began to lower in height, and finally the black war fortress fell straight on the white ground, and slowly sank with the ice and snow that broke through the ground.

Like a brick sinking into water, the snow and ice on the surface of the earth are unhindered to a fortress of war.

Soon, all the war fortresses disappeared into the snow, and the snow was still white and spotless, leaving no trace of the undead.

A few minutes later. Edwood stepped down from the war fortress and looked up at the white dome a few hundred meters above him.

Not to mention that you can't see the deep valley hidden under the snow and ice from the sky. Even if you don't know what to do, even if you go to this area, you won't be able to find the strange things hidden underground.

Willibald walked up to him, looked up at him as well, and said with emotion: "Every time I look at it, I think it's a miracle. ”

Edwood said respectfully: "His Majesty the Divine Throne's skills, how can we compare." ”

Willibald said hatefully, "But His Majesty was still injured by the lowly humans. ”

"It was just a coincidence. Edwood said: "I believe that in the end the victory will be ours. ”

The lichs who had descended from the war fortress gathered together and slowly entered a magnificent cave gate.

As soon as he entered the gate, a scorching wave of air rushed out, blowing the lichs in black robes, hunting and flying.

The intense heat lasted for two minutes, then suddenly stopped, and then a cold breath blew in from outside the cave.

One cold and one hot, one in and one out, alternating every few minutes, as regular as human breathing, very strange.

The lich in the cave greeted him and asked in a loud voice, "How is it?"

The lichs who had returned from the battle shook their heads, and their faces were not interested in talking.

The atmosphere in the cave was very low for a while.

A sense of desperation haunted the lichs.

The human alliance was less than three thousand miles south of them at the moment, and it looked like it was about to hit their last lair.

Until now, they have used all the methods, but they are still helpless against humans.

It's their last stand, and if they can't defeat the humans, one day, the humans will definitely be able to kill them, and it will be the end of all the lichs.

Death had never been closer to them than it was now.

Many lichs secretly regret why they followed the High Priest of the Dead to this hellish Jedi.

If he had slipped away quietly at the beginning, he would have found a deep mountain and old forest to hide in the Semitic Continent, and it would not be a problem to hide for hundreds of years.

That's what a lot of lich and dark spells do.

At the beginning, they joked that the group of people would be caught and killed by humans sooner or later, but now it seems that they are the ones who are stupid.

Originally, I thought that humans would not be able to find the island of the dead, but I didn't expect that humans would find it in just one year.

I thought that the insect tide could eat up the human race - these insect swarms from the other world had already eaten up several worlds, but I didn't expect the human firepower to be so sharp that it actually blocked them.

I really should have slipped away early in the morning.

Perhaps, it's not too late to slip away?

Edwood walked through the lichs with their own hearts, looked at their dejected looks, sneered, and exclaimed, "A bunch of cowards." ”

The lichs looked up, countless pairs of green eyes staring at him.

Just because Edwood is in charge doesn't mean the lich likes him.

Practically everyone didn't like him.

Edwood raised his head proudly, looked at the dense black lich in front of him, and said, "You are all a bunch of cowards, cowards, who have given you life in vain. ”

Everyone knows that Edwood is an avid fan of the High Priest of the Dead, and climbs up by patting his ass.

"You'd better be clear, Edwood. Sensen's warning sounded from the crowd.

Some of the lichs don't take Edwood seriously, and the High Priest of the Dead can't afford to be seriously injured, so they dare to kill Edwood.

Edwood let out a long laugh and raised his voice: "Don't forget, who gave your life, and at the critical moment, you are actually afraid."

We have no way back~!"

Everyone was silent, of course they knew that there was a cliff behind them.

Edwood said in a loud voice, "The Derazerg can only last a few days, and our war fortress only has enough energy crystals to use a few times. If we can't win in two days, we're really finished. ”

The lichs looked at each other, they did not expect that the situation had reached this point, they could only hold out for a few more days, and in a few days, the human race would once again triumphantly go north.

Edwood said: "The war has reached the last moment, victory is at hand, and you are afraid. ”

"Do you have a way to win against humans?" someone asked in a loud voice.

"Yes," said Edwood, "not only do I have a way to win against humanity, but we must win against humanity." For us, this war fortress can only be won and not defeated.

I've found the weakness of humanity, and in the next battle we're going to put all of them on the line, and all of us, not one of us, will go to war.

There are hundreds of us, we are not afraid of human cannons and bullets, and there are only a few dozen mages in the human fortress, and it only takes a few dozen minutes for us to break through the human fortress.

Destroy the human army, and I can guarantee that no one will dare to set foot on this land again for decades to come. ”

Lichs, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't believe Edwood's words.

"Are you sure you're going to win?"

Edwood smiled contemptuously and said, "Either sit here and wait for death, or you want to give it a go with me, do you think there are other options?"

If you don't work hard now, in two days, you won't even have a chance to fight hard. ”

Willibald thought for a moment, and said in a loud voice: "I agree, we go and fight with the human race, and the future is ours if we win, even if we lose, will we be worse now." ”

"Yes, go and fight with them, there is a fortress of low-level creatures on the left and right, there is a Deera Zerg charge, and hundreds of us can't take it. ”

"It's worth a try. ”

Edwood smiled triumphantly, raised a white bone finger, and said loudly, "This is our last battle, and I believe that victory must belong to our immortals." (To be continued......)
