172: Necro's Tomb
After hearing Albrech's words, the panicked Ricas was already excited, and his eyes were fixed on Melaglos, begging him to answer immediately.
However, the deputy regent was not carried away, he never believed that there were good Samaritans who reached out for no reason in this shijie. Even in the face of adversity, he remained calm, took a deep breath and asked, "Is it true? I wonder what conditions your country has for helping?"
Albrech smiled and shook his head: "No need to pay anything! And after the elimination of Perdiccas, we will support you on the throne of the Olympian League, because you are the only one who is the true friend of our Germans, and we think that no one but you is more suitable to lead Pera to enhance friendship with Holy Rome! Although our two countries are currently at war, that is not what we want, we are a peace-loving people." I believe that after you ascend to the throne, you can put aside the disputes between the two countries and work together to create a glorious era!"
The chief of the Teutonic Order spoke better than he sang, but the more he did so, the more his doubts deepened. If he really believes these lies, once he enters the other party's control, he can only be at their mercy! At that time, he will be surrounded by the Holy Roman army, and he will have no ability to protect himself, and he will be their puppet at all, and he will have to do whatever he wants, and it is better to die a glorious battle in such a day!
Thinking of this, Melagros sneered and flatly refused: "Xiexie the kindness of your country. But I'm sorry, but as the vice-regent of the Olympia League, I don't have any reason to rely on enemy countries to ascend to the throne! I am also willing to continue to cooperate with your country in dealing with Perdiccas. But that's only after I reach the bottomless lake defense line and regain the support of the army!"
"But ......," said Albrecht, "the army in the direction of the Bottomless Lake is not to be trusted, and perhaps they have already taken over to Perdiccas, and you will be caught in the net if you go there! And you're completely free, you can leave whenever you want, and you can even lend you an army!"
However, the deputy regent had already made up his mind. No matter how clever he was, he was unmoved: "I'm sorry! I've already made up my mind, and I'm going to leave at once, so that I don't get discovered by Perdiccas' men." ”
The Chief of the Teutonic Order regretted that he had not been able to accomplish the task perfectly. But it got to this point. There was no way out. It could only be tightly tied to the chariot of Holy Rome. In order to protect himself, he must launch an army rebellion, and the defenders in the city of Pera will kill each other, so that the HRE army can take advantage of the situation and enter without the need for a protracted siege war, greatly reducing the tragic losses in the war!
Just as the two of them were thinking about each other, a general of the Silver Shield Legion burst in from outside the door and reported loudly: "Your Highness! We have detected a very powerful source of magic power approaching at high speed!!"
Melagros and Albrecht immediately looked at each other: Perdiccas had already struck!
"My lord, what shall we do now?!" asked Licas, anxiously, "before the enemy is killed." Let's go to the bottomless lake right now!"
"No!" the deputy regent shook his head and said, "Now that the situation outside is unknown, let's not act rashly yet." lest you fall into the trap of the enemy...... Depending on the situation, Perdiccas does not seem to plan to mobilize a large army, so it is okay if the Refractive Castle will not be breached for a while. Likas, you leave the tunnel immediately, go to the bottomless lake to contact first, and let Pei Song organize reinforcements as soon as possible!"
Elrens single-handedly made it to the gates of Fort Refraction, encountering five teams of elite knights along the way, all of whom were easily dispersed by him after dropping a few heads.
Five hundred meters away in front of me is the heavy stone wall of the Refractive Castle, and there is a towering silver-white tower inside the wall. If nothing else, his target tonight, Melagolos, was hiding in it. The walls were made of huge ovoid boulders, seemingly loose but solid, with a faint glow on the surface, emitted by a magic circle fixed to it.
There was a metal gate in the center of the stone wall, and the gilded sign of the sun was engraved on it, but there was no one nearby, not even a single guard could see it, and I don't know if it was because he was afraid that he had hid or if there was some other conspiracy. Undeterred, Elrens walked straight over. Suddenly, a protruding sharp corner of the gate suddenly flashed red, shooting out a ray of light containing powerful magic power at him!
"Oh, it's weird, but this level of defense can't bother me!"
The dragon sneered, drawing his illusionary sword and slashing at the light. 'Bang!' and the red light was deflected and continued to shoot in the other direction. However, it was too early to rejoice, and then a series of red lights shot out from the gate, and Elrens retreated as he blocked with all his might, and as expected, when he retreated five hundred meters away, the red light stopped attacking.
Elrence thought about it, then simply put away his sword and began to meditate on magic. I saw a cloud of black smoke coming out and enveloping his whole body, and a figure could be seen faintly in the smoke quickly getting bigger, and a roar sounded, and the smoke dissipated. The black dragon's huge body soared into the air, waving its wings and swooping towards the Refractive Castle in the air again. The red light on the gate immediately attacked him, but the heavy scale armor covered by the black dragon's whole body was harder than pure gold, and after being hit by the magic light, it only left a shallow scorch mark, which couldn't hurt him at all!
Elrens was extremely fast, and with only two flicks of his wings, he was already on top of the stone wall. He was about to climb over the wall, but unexpectedly, he collided head-on with a transparent defensive shield, and a powerful electric light erupted violently, and the evil dragon was bounced back at once.
"Damn!!"
Elrens roared in anger and spewed a mouthful of searing dragon flame, hitting the metal gate directly. The flames of tens of thousands of degrees of heat burned brightly, and soon melted the gate into a puddle of molten iron. The dragon laughed and burst through the gap
From the stone walls, the Fort of Refraction seemed to be covered in a layer of fog, and all the scenery was hazy except for a tall tower.
However, when Ellens rushed into the wall, the melted metal door behind him suddenly re-coalesced from the left and right sides, and slammed shut.
The scene in the refractive castle became clear, and I saw that behind the stone wall was a wide cemetery, which was densely covered with round arched cemeteries, surrounded by weeds, and poisonous substances such as snakes and scorpions crawled out of the dry shrubs from time to time...... As for the tower where the deputy regent is located, it is actually a few kilometers behind the cemetery!
Is this space magic or an illusion?, Elrens wondered in his heart, and in order to avoid falling into the trap, he decided to see the situation first before moving on. He flapped his wings and descended from the sky, his massive body crushing several cemeteries on the ground. Suddenly, a gust of wind came, mixed with countless low cries echoing in the graveyard!
Elrens sneered: "It's almost the same as scaring ordinary people by doing this trick, how can you bluff me, it's really a joke!
As soon as the words fell, a change began. In the graveyard where he had trampled on, countless bony arms suddenly protruded from the churning dirt! Arms waved and dug in the air, digging through the dirt, and soon a skeleton warrior staggered out of the ground.
In the night, under the dim moonlight, the bones of these skeletons glowed with a miserable white light, and the rusty armor fragments on their bodies fell one after another, along with dark red carrion and maggots, and the stench of corruption rose to the sky, how disgusting and disgusting the scene was!
Elrens managed to hold back his stomach when the skeleton warriors rushed forward, brandishing their broken weapons that glowed black in their hands, screaming and stabbing at the dragon's feet!
"The living~ It's the breath of the living!I hate it~ You should die too~ Wow, ah!!"
Although the weapons of the skeleton warriors are broken on the surface, they are actually accompanied by powerful necromancy, and if ordinary people are slashed, they will immediately lose their combat effectiveness, and in serious cases, they will be transformed into carrion corpses that have no ability to think, only keep the eternal resentment of the living and keep attacking!
Of course, for dragons, these limited necromantic attacks have no effect. I saw a clanging sound, and the weapons that the skeleton warriors had struggled to slash at his scale armor were bounced back!
"Fuck the bedbugs!Fuck me out!!"
Disgusted by the filth, Elrens roared and stretched out his spiked dragon claws to sweep left and right, and in the powerful sound of the wind, the skeletons flew out like rats hit by wooden sticks, falling to the ground and scattering into a pile of broken bones!
However, to the dragon's surprise, the skeletons were not wiped out, on the contrary, the broken bones quickly merged again, some could not find their heads, but loaded with three arms, some had only one leg to jump around, and some of their hands and feet turned upside down, like a large number of deformed people screaming strangely. Not only that, but several times as many new skeletons crawled out of the nearby cemetery, forming a large army of necromancers, attacking one after another!
