Chapter 22 Bloody Night - The Counterattack of the Undead
Miscalculation...
Seeing the teleportation array gradually disappearing on the ground, Sama was both relieved and felt a little regretful.
Unexpectedly, Sistale-;Vinn has fallen into a night elves and has become the guardian knight of the night priest who should have been the enemy.
In this way, the artifact on him is definitely not "the authority of light".
A fallen Light clan is absolutely unable to become the only messenger who can use the "power of light", even if he was a paladin who was highly anticipated.
The only possibility is...the goddess's kindness!!
This artifact was lost in the Emerald Valley eight hundred years ago. It must have been found in the Curse Temple in the Great Everglades.
Moreover... this Dark Night Priestess is still capable. Not only did he let the Paladins that the Church of Light focus on cultivating, he also got the artifact "the goddess's love" that the Church of Light has wanted to regain the magical artifact for hundreds of years.
Since even the "goddess' love" has been found, the "cursed authority" that has changed from "moon god jewelry" should naturally be obtained together.
No wonder the Church of Light is willing to form an alliance with the dark tribe that they hate the most in order to fight against the undead.
The high priest who possessed two artifacts would not dare to be careless even if the Dharma Emperor of Light came in person.
Especially, the power of these two artifacts combined...
The Night God Haas's "Ring of Passion" plus the Moon God Garcia's "Prison of Curse". It has been mentioned from ancient data that it is the only one among all the dark artifacts that can compete with the Death Artifact.
Moya-; Fassi, a purely blooded dark Trute.
In just one year, the unknown person quickly climbed to the position of high priest. In less than a few years, he would become the central character who led the night elves. If he had the chance, he would definitely find a way to get rid of her. Although he was still a third-level war priest, if he continued to let her grow, he would one day grow into a threat to the Death Corps.
But... the trouble is that this priestess actually has a very similar face to General Roland of the Underworld. Could it be that... they are related to blood?
Or is it just a similar appearance?
When talking to Moya, Sama chose extremely polite grammar, mostly because she was afraid of her face that was almost exactly the same as the other person.
As the oldest undead king among the monarchs of the Underworld, Roland's combat power is far from comparable to ordinary undead. The title of Death Knight alone has already made Samatha afraid.
After the failed summoning of Death Leader, the Lich King completely lost the whereabouts of the legendary strongest undead knight. When he first saw the High Priest of Dark Night, he thought that the general standing in front of him was the one who stood in front of him.
Since the Dark Night High Priest is willing to leave the battlefield, no matter what purpose she is, the wizard and demon king will not stop him.
At least, there is no need to spend the high-level undead that he has finally summoned to deal with this meaningless battle. Regardless of whether the user's ability is strong or weak, the artifact is ultimately a artifact. Even if Sama has enough confidence in his own strength, he also knows that to fight the artifact, he must pay corresponding losses.
There are rumors that the orcs were defeated in White Rose, and the Death Corps also heard of them. Samma did not want to use the high-level undead he had finally summoned to measure the power of the artifacts held by the Dark Night High Priest.
Although the Dragon Clan Covenant was not able to obtain, it was inevitable that there was some regret for this inland attack that penetrated into the Ice Crystal Continent. However, at least the destruction of the city of Plalis has caused all the face to the Church of Light - the church's second largest temple was destroyed by the undead.
This is the only one that satisfies the Lich King.
After thinking about it, Sama didn't care about the arrogant words of the High Priest of Dark Night before leaving. He now paid more attention to breaking the defense of Plales in one fell swoop and trampling on the living creatures in the realm of "life".
"Without the help of the Church of Light, just because you want to resist the advancement of the Death Army?" The Lich King did not take the support troops of the mercenary king seriously at all. These humans actually thought that relying solely on a large number of troops could defeat the undead?
Innocent and stupid!!
Losing the main combat power of the Dark Night High Priest, do humans think they still have a chance to win?
What's more, the only "Dragon Covenant" that made him afraid of was no longer in Mirata, so he would be even less afraid of the Church of Light.
"Immediately prepare for the summoning ceremony to open the passage to the gates of the Underworld. I allow the breath of despair and death to spread throughout this fortress city that the Church of Light is proud of."
Under Samma's command, the lichs formed a circle and kept chanting spells connecting the twisted space.
Layer after layer of skeleton soldiers blocked the lich like shields, without long-distance attacks, the mercenary king had no choice but to see the lich who was just around the corner.
"What is the Mercenary King doing?! Don't he know that this battle cannot be missing the artifact of the Dark Night Priest?" Canaan, who was watching the battle on the wall of Plalis, only saw Moya falling from the air and then disappearing from the battlefield.
You don’t have to think about it and know that it must have been plotted against by the mercenary king and then left with a short distance teleportation magic.
Didn't that idiot king know that the Dark Night Priest had long seen that he had the idea of a sneak attack, so how could he have not thought of a countermeasure?
He had already said that he should not take action before the arrival of the Church of Light reinforcements. Why was he so anxious?
Could it be that he thought that relying on those arriving support troops could win?
Yes, his reinforcements are quite large, but if the lich summons high-level undead, these armies are not enough to see.
The battle of the undead forty years ago was three times the number of Ningal soldiers today, and it ended with a tragic victory. It was not all because the lich summoned high-level undead who was banned in the depths of the underworld. Radley, the king of Fire Dragon, was also dragged into the dark underworld under the siege of the Death Knight.
Now the undead has not used their trump card yet, so what's there to be complacent about?
Is the Night Priestess an easy character to deal with?
I don't know how much energy he had put into convinced the Dark Night Priest to join the War Alliance. Now that he was shot away with an arrow, the Dark Night Elf would definitely retaliate. If they used this as an excuse to return to the ground, how could the Senate in the Holy Capital tolerate such an irreparable mistake?
Russell has the identity of a king, but he doesn't.
If the elder Yuan held him accountable, he would inevitably be punished.
Just as Canaan kept complaining about the mercenaries forgetting, the undead also completed complicated spells. The Fallen Knight escorted the girls captured from the villages that were passing by and brought them into the circle where the lich prayers were conducted.
Like the summons held by the Death Leader, Blood opened the door to the Underworld. High-level undead who had signed a contract with the Lich first stepped out of the passage, followed by other undeads who were eager to return to the earthly realm.
Faced with the sudden appearance of the undead support force, Russell was really panicked. He had not participated in the undead battle forty years ago, and even the previous King Ningal did not participate in that battle.
Looking around the entire battlefield, the huge bone dragon exhaled a black aura of death from its mouth, which could curse the strong soldiers until death in an instant. The death knights wearing pitch-black armor and riding nightmare had a single attack power not as strong as the bone dragon, but they had a body like a copper wall and iron wall. Until their bodies were completely destroyed, they would never stop slaughtering any living creature with life.
What's even more terrifying is that in the death field arranged by the lich, once a human soldier dies, the undead magic will immediately join the corpses with lost souls to the team against humans.
The despair of human soldiers also increased with the number of undead.
A comrade who fought side by side at the last moment will become an enemy to kill you in the next moment.
Nothing can destroy a person's mind like this?
After completing the summoning and domain spells, the lich also participated in the battle against humans.
Despair, death, weakness, and other dark spells gradually reduce the physical and mental defense lines of human soldiers.
Within two hours, the battle situation was already one-sided.
When the dark magician who had been silent had begun to cast his dark magic, Ruthel truly realized the meaning of the words that the night priestess said before leaving.
Thunder, flames, storms, earthquakes.
Elemental magic appears one by one as the black magician's spell is completed.
No matter what kind of magic arrows shoot, it is impossible to break through the invisible wall of the Black Magician's body, let alone hurt him.
"Damn woman..."
At this point, the mercenary king learned more that he could shoot the Dark Night High Priest not because of luck or anything else, but because the other party let the water go.
If she doesn't want to, how could he successfully attack?
It's really a miscalculation...
It would be great if according to the light sacrifice to Canaan, the reinforcements of the light church arrived.
"Damn it, how could I lose to these dead people without thoughts..."
Under the cover of the two generals, Russell reluctantly fled back to Plales, and along with the army that came to support, retreated with the king.
"It's all caused by this idiot king..."
Due to the sharp decline in number, the Knights of the Flame had already withdrawn to the city one step earlier. Looking at the Ningal army, which also suffered no heavy losses, Randy once again complained about the mercenary king's stupid behavior.
"His Majesty the King, haven't I said repeatedly that I will wait until the reinforcements from the Church of Light arrive?"
Standing in front of the king who was receiving treatment, the Canaan sacrifice inevitably made loudly criticize him, which made Russell, who had an already ugly face, on the verge of an outbreak.
"Now...what should I do?" Randy chose the right time to speak. What he cares most about was how long can Plalis last under the crazy attack of the undead?
