Most of the Pelicans can swim as dockers, so the retreat process is much easier than everyone thinks.

After the dock workers put the few people who could not swim or could not swim easily, they all jumped into the water and swam to the floating islands where they landed.

Not only did the dockers do this, but a large number of survivors from the ruined shack area swam to the floating islands.

Because there was no need to operate the floating island for the time being, Wang led all the members of the salvation team to the ground of the floating island to greet the frightened fleeing crowd.

The refugees didn't notice the Salvation Team at first, until a member of the Self-Police Corps saluted the Salvation Team.

Then the refugees surrounded the squad members at once.

A young woman rushed to the king with a three-year-old child and was about to kiss the king's feet. The king was shocked, and exclaimed while hiding: "What are you doing here?" I can't help it! ”

"Your great kindness, you can't repay it otherwise!" The woman burst into tears, "My husband, my parents-in-law, have been killed by the undead. My husband was only half of his body left, and he was still holding the undead and not letting go, so I ran out with the baby. There were several neighbors running with us, but we were the only ones left to reach the water's edge! ”

Another refugee, kneeling on the ground, shouted, "The undead dare not go into the water, they must be afraid of the prestige of the salvation team!" Just get down into the water and you're safe! ”

"That's right! The previous earth shaking also opened up the streets, making it easier for us to run! ”

"Nonsense, the earth must be shaking to destroy the undead! If you think about it, in the tavern minstrels' stories, all the living are turned into undead at once, and it must have been the evil ritual that shook and destroyed the undead, so we could survive! ”

These words made Wang's expression even more complicated.

Elizabeth silently patted him on the shoulder.

The "village chief" Rosalie stood a little farther away, watching the scene.

The refugees who survived the catastrophe rushed to express their gratitude to the salvation team and to the king, and all these thanks came together to form a "conclusion":

"You are the savior of Repulse City!"

"It's a saint, it's our saint!"

Wang pursed his lips and did not refute everyone, he just raised his hands and made a downward gesture, which is usually used by the speaker to suppress everyone's applause or cheers during speeches.

The whole scene fell silent at once, and countless pairs of eyes were focused on the king.

Wang: "I...... Not so great. Actually......"

He had wanted to tell him that the Lich was an ally yesterday and that the earthquake was due to his own mistake, but just before he could speak, he met Rosalie's gaze.

"Fame is also a resource" "We need fame in order to accomplish the goal of saving the world"

Rosalie's words rang in his ears again.

After a short silence, Wang took a deep breath, and then said to everyone with a sad face, "I'm sorry, we still failed. The Lich's intention to summon an army of the undead has succeeded. We have been deceived by the Lich. ”

Immediately someone shouted: "It's not your fault!" It's the fault of the evil lich! ”

"What kindness, even the lich wants to believe it!"

"When I grow up, I'm going to slay the Lich with the Salvation Squad!"

As he heard these words, the king's expression grew resolute.

He said, "I'm going to confront this lich right now!" If possible, I mean, if possible......"

"With such a terrifying undead army, do you want to fight with a team of less than ten people?" Someone exclaimed, "It's too dangerous! ”

"Let's wait for the knights of the Orthodox Church of various countries to make a move!" Someone else shouted.

Wang: "I...... I had killed the lich once, and this time I thought he had reformed, so I took it lightly. I just think that there may be the last trace of kindness that has not been extinguished, so I want to arouse this conscience. ”

"It slaughtered our whole family, what good is there?"

"We've killed our entire street!"

"It's hell on earth!"

Wang did not explain to the panicked survivors, but directly called Xiaobai's name.

The little white turned into a griffin and barked at the king.

The king rolled over and saddled, kicked Bai's belly with his heel, and the griffin rushed into the sky.

**

At this moment, in the middle of the undead army, there was a clearing cleared from the ruins, and the lich himself was sitting at a shabby table.

The table was a random scrape out of the rubble, and it looked dirty, with blood stains on the corners.

This does not prevent the Lich from concentrating on crafting scrolls.

As the sound of the griffin flapping its wings could be heard from the sky, Elzam raised his hand and made a single gesture to back the black knight and the corpse witch who had entered a state of alert.

In fact, even this gesture is not needed, even if it is a high-level undead with independent consciousness, the lich who is the core of the army can also command with his mind.

After all, this army exists because the lich is here.

The undead all backed away, leaving a ten-meter radius around the lich, enough for an adult griffon to land.

After the griffin fell, the king jumped down from the griffin's back and teased, "Aren't you afraid that Xiaobai will pounce directly?" ”

Elzam laughed, "Now that the power of death is so strong, I am not something that a mere druid can defeat. You should understand that I'm not lying, because you have enough knowledge to know how much the Lich's power can be increased when a short period of death reaches a certain threshold.

"I estimate that it will take about half a year for the breath of death brought about by these killings to dissipate, and in this half a year, I even dare to argue with the United Crusade formed by the Orthodox Church in this place."

As soon as the king was about to answer, Elzam spread his hands again: "But the final result should be that I was defeated by the Crusaders, and the paladins and priests crushed me to ashes." Or maybe I was touched and killed by an elite team that had been assembled from nowhere.

"Considering that Repulse City is right on a major trade route that runs across the continent, I guess I'll be wiped out sooner."

Xiaobai turned back into a human form and complained: "You are really experienced. ”

"Of course, over the centuries I've always been wiped out in a different way."

Wang: "So why?" If you're honest, don't make trouble......"

"I'm a lich." Elzam interrupted the king, "There is a druid here, you may as well ask her, and ask if it is evil for a weasel to kill the hen and destroy the hen's cubs?" ”

Xiaobai: "Of course not. ”

Elzam: "Then why should I be condemned for reaping my own life?" My mission is to harvest life and play with souls. To me it's like humans eating and weasels eating chickens. ”

Wang: "Did you think that when you transformed?" ”

Elzam: "No. I was simply trying to spend more time researching, and for the first hundred years after my transformation, I was a good lich. ”

Wang: "Then why is this happening now?" ”

Elzam spread his hands: "If it is a literary work written by a great writer, there will probably be an embarrassing story, in which I will be betrayed by the good side and realize that those so-called good people are all heinous big villains!" And then embrace death.

"However, this is not the case, of course there are bad people in the bishops, but most of the bishops and paladins I have met are good people. There was even more than one person who could accept me as a skeleton.

"Maybe it's because they're feeling the remnants of my humanity in me. Like you now, you're all trying to pull me back and make me a good lich like never before.

"Don't waste your efforts. The Lich is evil, and death is the essence of the Lich and is part of the natural cycle. This was realized in the fifth resurrection. That time I went to the place where the last resurrection undead army was raging.

"I was amazed to find that after the destruction of my army, the dead trees sprouted, the withered earth was revived, and the trees and green grass were more lush than when I raised the wave of immortality.

"I have confirmed with my own eyes the life that is born from the death I have sown. Do you understand? Death is the prelude to a new life, just as the deepest night is bound to precede the dawn.

"I haven't suppressed my nature since."

Wang frowned: "Wait a minute, you said that you didn't suppress your nature from the fifth time, so the first four times, you worked hard to be a good lich, didn't you?" What happened? Why did you gather the undead army for the fourth time? ”

Elzam: "This kind of old thing, if you don't mention it, doesn't change the fact that I'm a pure lich now. As you know, in Minos, I was going to sacrifice the whole city with the orcs, summon an invincible army of the undead, and turn the whole of Monrovia into a realm of death.

"This time I just did what I wanted to do in Monrovia."

As he spoke, the lich turned and grabbed the freshly finished scroll from the table with his sharp-clawed hands.

"I promise you to help your friends with limited prayers. I've set up the prayer statement, and it should fully restore the corpse of your dwarven friend. ”

Wang: "I'm not here to get this. ”

"You're here for answers." Elzam snapped up, "And you've heard the answer just now." If you don't believe me, you can confirm with your druid friends if the land has become more fertile and fertile after the fall of the undead army. ”

Xiaobai was shocked: "Huh? I've only experienced twenty-four and a half complete seasonal reincarnations, and even the army of undead creatures has only encountered this once, I don't know! ”

The king stared at Elzam, and then regretfully realized that he did not have the ability to discern his intentions from the lich's skull.

No, even people like Rosalie and Elizabeth, who are good at observing words and feelings, don't have a problem with a skeleton.

Especially when this skeletal shelf deliberately controls the emotions that flow out of his own speech.

Wang: "Will we be hostile in the future?" ”

Elzam: "Aren't we hostile now?" ”

"But you didn't attack me."

"Because I'm on guard against the Knights who suddenly teleported over, and they really did that." Elzam spread his hands, "Or do you think that no matter how many people I kill, as long as I don't use a sword against you, you don't think I'm an enemy?" Just because the Phase 3 undead will become allies? Don't make a fuss, be mature, there is no room for reconciliation between the living and the dead, we are naturally enemies. Even if one day we will fight against a common enemy, that does not mean that we are allies. ”

With that, Elzam threw the scroll in his hand at the king.

"Grab your scroll and go."

The king took the scroll, turned to leave, suddenly remembered something, turned back and said, "By the way, your spoon is really useful, thank you." ”

"yes, I'm glad you like it."

The king glanced at Xiaobai, and the druid immediately turned into a griffin.

The king mounted a griffon and leaped into the sky.

Elzam watched him go away, and suddenly said, "Of course that spoon is great, it's my favorite magic item 'in life'." ”

After that, Elzam no longer looked at the king, and the light in his empty eyes was ready for the distance, as if he had passed through a long time and a vast space, and reached the moment when he really died.

It's a story that only exists in the wild history, and it looks like the crappy work of some ninth-rate family, but the reality is undoubtedly the most lame writer in the world.

There is no one of them.

Even Elzam does not intend to open the cover of the story again, such a story should be sealed forever until the moment when he is completely destroyed by the forces of justice and even his life box is broken into many pieces.

**

After the griffon landed on the floating island, the king saw Mrs. Hashir among the people who greeted him.

"You're alive!" He exclaimed.

Hashir: "I'm also shocked, if I were given a choice, I would be willing to trade this old life for the survival of even one child." But Lancelot didn't want my old woman's life, he wanted me to continue to watch the young man die in front of me. ”

Wang: "It's good that you are here, so that the civilians on the island will have someone to command." Rosalie, how many civilians are contained now? ”

Rosalie: "I haven't counted it carefully, Nini has estimated that it is about two thousand." ”

Wang: "In such a big city, 2,000 people are running out now?" ”

Hashir: "Most of them were killed by the undead army, and while the earthquake you caused destroyed the streets and walls, making it easier for everyone to flee to the water's edge, this undead army is too powerful, with the common undead such as skeletons, zombies, and ghouls, as well as ghosts, corpses, and even black knights. ”

As soon as Hashir finished speaking, one of the survivors shouted: "I saw a ghost figure pass through the little son of the Brown family, and the young man immediately bled to death, and his body shrank rapidly, only the skin remained smooth, and the next moment he became a skeleton soldier with skin!"

"Skeleton soldiers with skin! The skin was loose and looked like clothes hanging on bones. ”

Wang: "That's the Spirit, a spirit unit that can only hurt them with magical weapons. ”

The king looked at Hashir, "Do you think it will be useful if we continue to wait here?" ”

Hashir: "No. In front of such an undead army, it can rescue 2,000 humans who are still panting, which is already a great achievement. Take off, otherwise those who have already been on the island will not be able to feel at ease. ”

Wang: "Where should we go after we take off?" The undead army doesn't have gargoyles yet, but it won't be long before we do, and we can't leave our fate to the evil creature right in the middle of the undead army. ”

Hashir: "You should leave Rewatershed as soon as possible, and enter a new place where a large number of deaths will occur, and the undead will be strengthened." It's good to go anywhere, let's go quickly. ”

Wang nodded: "I'll go to the control center." ”

At this time, Marika suddenly became alert: "Wait a minute! There are loiterers! ”

As soon as the words fell, Nini stretched out her bow and pointed at the shadow next to her: "Come out, my arrow can hit you even if it is blind." ”

Four men dressed in Shadow Thief armor stepped out of the shadows.

Wang: "Shadow thief? ”

"Yes, we came to deliver the news, but we were met with this chain of events. First of all, congratulations to Your Excellency, the captain of the Salvation Squad, for obtaining the Floating City, without the Floating City, I am afraid that we will not be able to survive this attack of the undead army. ”

The corners of Wang's mouth twitched, since even the shadow thieves thought so, it seemed that this time the pot was indeed completely carried by the undead army.

In the end, Elzam took it all over.

Wang: "Don't talk nonsense, what information?" Could it be that it happened to be the message of the Lich Attack? That's dark humor. ”

"No, it's actually the information that the Yi Songzuo branch relayed from the headquarters. Yi Songzo is actually completely controlled by Catala, and there are still a small number of Catala garrisons. ”

Wang nodded: "And then?" ”

"Yi Songzo, probably the birthplace of the Order. We have determined the location of the monastery in your frame, and the underground of this monastery is likely the remains of a research institute from the age of a giant cyclops, and we are sure that the bishop of the Order, Kaseplan, found the ...... underground."

Wang: "However, we have received information that the bishop of the Order was researching the 'living stones' in Catala and discovered the legendary city of Hamnata, the legendary city of Hamna, in Catala, and obtained the knowledge of Ragnora. And I personally suspect that he was possessed or taken away by something at that time. ”

Captain Shadow Thief: "That's interesting. But information science is about cross-comparison, and there is a key point that is consistent with the comparison between the information we get and the information you get. ”

Wang: "What? ”

"Living stone statues. Anyway, you should go to Yi Songzo next, right? ”

Without waiting for the king to reply, the leader of the shadow thieves took out a cylinder decorated with gilded hoops, which were usually used to hold maps.

Captain Shadow Thief: "We've got a map of the Order's interior, which not only marks the location of the Abbey, but also how to enter the Cyclops Ruins beneath the Abbey. ”

Everyone in the Salvation Squad looked at each other.

Elizabeth: "We can't handle the undead army for the time being, or we'll ...... Chase the line of the Order first, and leave the undead to the crusaders of the Orthodox God Church? ”

Wang thought for a moment and nodded: "That's right, we only have the only priest now, and we are still a dead priest, and we have to toss to resurrect him, and we are really powerless to deal with so many undead creatures." It's better to leave professional things to professional people. ”

Xiaobai: "Then the next target is Yi Songzuo!" Let's go! ”

Granny Hashir: "Although...... We probably won't be able to help much to save the world, but building a house and setting up a tent or something, it should be okay. ”

The king scratched his head: "Okay, I can't drive you down to death." Rosalie, you are now the steward of them all. ”

Rosalie: "Leave it to me." ”

Wang: "Ready to take off, it's time to go!" ”

Liguang clasped his hands on his chest, looked in the direction of Yi Songzuo, and muttered, "This reminds me of the day I left for the monastery many years ago. The home is behind us, and the world is in front of you. ”
