050 Elzam's survival strategy
The next day.
The lich Elzam Malcolm emerged from the mage tower where he had just built a pedestal, and looked at the dense airships in the sky, and the floating city in the middle of the airship array.
"They're coming so fast this time." "The last time I assembled such an army, the Crusaders waited almost a year to come. The power of human beings is getting stronger and stronger. ”
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and all the stone statues around him came to life, flapping their wings and flying into the sky.
The gargoyles also had a large number of small flying undead creatures mixed in - they were all resurrected bird corpses, which were not as weak as the gargoyles, but they were huge in number.
The undead that obscured the sky and the sun rushed into the airship swarm in the air.
The large airship at the front bore the brunt, and in the blink of an eye it was surrounded by flying undead. The next moment, the holy light enveloped the airship.
The weak birds and undead were purified in the blink of an eye, and the gargoyle's exterior burst into blue-white flames in an instant.
A gargoyle rushed into the airship's cabin with flames, only to be knocked out in the next second, and his head shattered.
It should be the handwriting of the priest on the airship.
Dense rain of arrows was fired from other airships, and the corpses of the undead were falling like goose feathers and snow.
Elzam was speechless: "These airships...... It's trickier than you think. ”
After all, it was something he hadn't dealt with the last time he had gathered a large army. In fact, his flying unit was purely prepared to fight against the Floating City.
A new order was given, and the undead creatures in the sky began to ram the airship with their own bodies, testing the airship's weakness.
Soon, the height of an airship with its shell deflated slowly decreased.
Elzam looked at the airship and muttered to himself, "Why did that one lower altitude?" I broke the flying magic on it? ”
Until now, Elzam had thought that these airships were flying with a constant flying spell on them.
Just as Elzam was about to continue to command the flying force to "test" the airship, the huge floating city came to him at a slow but unstoppable pace.
The next moment, the earthquake trembled, and it turned out that the bottom of the floating city hit the ground.
Most of the city is on soft mud next to the shoals, and only a small part of the city is on solid rock formations. The stone houses of the nobles were built in these rock formations, and the site of Elzam's mage tower was also located here.
The solid granite bottom of the floating city collided with the rock ground paved with stone bricks, and even the slightest touch caused the ground to shake the mountain.
As soon as Elzam stood firm, he looked up and saw the paladin and the priest jumping down like rain.
"Huh," it sneered, and with a gesture it teleported away.
The Death Knight, who had been following him, drew his two-handed greatsword, his eyes glowing red like a burning flame.
**
The king was standing on the edge of the floating island.
Ms. Teresa was not far away, calling out the number of the detachment. The detachment that was called out tore the scroll of the Feather Falling Technique, and then resolutely jumped down.
Elizabeth sighed beside the king: "These people are so brave, there are thousands of undead creatures below. ”
Flint: "They are the paladins and priests of Lancelot, like predators of the undead. Of course, this is also admirable. But the adventurers, who drank their free drink from me yesterday and left today with a full jug. ”
The news that the Temple of Kailin had a free supply of fine spirits had long been spread among the Crusaders, and some of Lancelot's priests would quietly pay for the "locals" to drink alcohol.
And the paladins can only be greedy from the side, and the paladins of Lancelot can't drink, and if they do, they break their vows.
Many holy warriors were "inspired" halfway to become holy warriors, and many people drank alcohol before they became holy warriors and knew the beauty of wine.
So this became Lancelot's test for the paladins.
Wang: "So with so many free drinks, has Kailin's followers increased?" ”
The dwarf shrugged, "I can't tell if they're here to pray or to drink." Most people will start to talk when they are high, and most of them will cry and regret, and I can't tell whether they are repenting or simply drinking high. ”
Wang: "Maybe both?" ”
Rosalie teased, "One more thing, everyone who leaves the temple of Kailin is much more 'relaxed', and the effect is the same as going to Lancelot's temple to worship and listen to sermons." ”
Marika followed: "No, the people who leave the Kailin Temple are all happy like immortals, but they can't walk in a straight line." ”
Nini: "I've tried drinking, but I don't feel happy, I'm dizzy, I want to sleep, and the sleep aid effect is really good." ”
The dwarf laughed: "So you have long ears and can't understand the beauty of wine!" You're just going to have to drink that juice-like fruit wine! ”
Nini frowned: "I can drink our fruit wine, but ......"
As he spoke, a gargoyle fell in front of the crowd with two crossbow arrows piercing it, and the bolts shattered the gargoyle's stone shell, and the jagged arrows sank into the gargoyle's body.
But this guy can still move, and he just gets up and is about to attack.
Flint pulled out his five-headed flail and shouted at Goldrick, "Don't move my feet!" I'll deal with it! ”
Originally wanted to use the dwarves as weapons, the barbarians dismissed the idea.
The dwarf rushed forward, wielding a five-headed flail, and one of them smashed the gargoyle's body. The moment he lost his "life", the gargoyle cracked and turned into a pile of sand on the ground.
Rosalie poked her head out from behind the king: "It's over?" You're here as usual for nonsense, and I've almost forgotten that I'm at war now. ”
Wang: "People have mobilized so many forces, if Elzam is still cut down by us, it will be so shameless." I don't think we'll have anything to do until the battle is over. ”
Marika: "I don't know how the ground is playing, but I saw at least two Nine Rings priests. ”
Wang: "Elzam is not good at fighting, and all the masters of the Upper Order were beaten down with a single skull at once, and two Nine-Ring Priests were enough to send him away." ”
At this moment, a herald came running and saluted the king: "Your Excellency, Lord of the City, the Cardinal, please go to the Great Tent. ”
Wang frowned slightly: "Is this still our business?" ”
Herald: "Aren't you going to go?" ”
King: "I'll go." Just to express the doubts in my heart. ”
**
As soon as the king entered the tent, he saw Cardinal Pietro frowning and asked, "What has happened?" ”
After asking, I felt that it was inappropriate, and added: "Your Excellency? ”
Pietro: "The Lich Elzam Malcolm is gone, so I ask the Lord to ask where it will go." After all, Your Excellency is familiar with it, isn't it? ”
