"Click!" With a crisp sound of impact, the lid of the lighter that Don Quixote gave to Liya was lifted, and just as Don Quixote said, flames really burst out, "It's really magical.
Woolen cloth."
"Dang~dang~"
"Who?"
"It's me, princess, your Uncle Merlin!"
"Bang!" The little princess hurriedly hid the lighter because she couldn't explain how it came from. She was kind-hearted and didn't want to implicate the civilian mage to be arrested! After all, trespassing in the royal garden is a serious crime.
!
"Are you still angry?"
"Huh!" Liya wrapped herself in a quilt, making it look like a ball!
"Originally, I promised you to let you spend the night there, but something went wrong."
"What's the problem?" Liya stretched her head out from the quilt, "Is it my sister who has left prison again?"
"No," Merlin touched Liya's little head lovingly, "It would be great if His Majesty came out of seclusion at this time."
"Then what's going on?" Liya suddenly noticed that Uncle Merlin looked very tired. Apparently he didn't sleep last night!
"Uncle Merlin, what happened?"
Merlin thought for a moment and decided to tell the naughty little princess in front of him the truth. Next, he might have to deal with the matter wholeheartedly. If the little princess sneaks out again due to poor supervision and is injured, who will be held responsible?
He couldn't bear it.
"Princess Liya, the undead appeared outside the south city last night!" The undead is a name used in the world of Faerûn for those corpses that should have been laid to rest but crawled out of the graves. "These undead are the same as before.
There are some differences. There may be a powerful necromancer hidden behind them, so I may not have enough experience to take care of the princess. I hope the princess will not sneak out during this time! Is that okay?"
Although Liya is a bit spoiled, she is indeed very sensible. Not long after she was born, King Arthur and the Queen died at that time, so it can be said that Merlin brought her up. Naturally, in her mind,
Merlin's status was similar to that of his father. Seeing the fatigue that could not be concealed in his expression at this time, he nodded heavily, "Don't worry, Uncle Merlin, I won't go out during this period!"
"Well," Merlin smiled happily and touched Liya's head, "Let's sleep for a while longer. If you are hungry, ask Mary to make breakfast for you."
"Um."
After leaving the princess's palace, there was no trace of fatigue on Merlin's face. He was in high spirits. Obviously, like Don Quixote, he knew that this little princess was very innocent under the protection of Arthur Pendry. Although
It would be shameful for a ring mage to deceive a little girl, but in extraordinary times, facing this quirky little princess, there is no other way! Among the many previous words, there are
One thing is absolutely true, that is, the undead wandering outside the main city are unusual!
Last night, he received news from his subordinates that a group of undead had been discovered, so he decisively issued an order. The first was to bring Her Royal Highness back immediately, and the second was to guard the city gate. Things like undead were very difficult to deal with.
, and the night has a very serious impact on soldiers, but it has no impact on the undead at all. Fighting the undead at night is not a wise thing, and once injured, if it is an ordinary soldier, it will not take long.
It will become like those monsters, so the usual way to deal with the undead group is to use heavy armored knights and steam mechas to protect them in the front row, and then let the mage group use long-range spells to destroy them from a distance!
However, the news that Dawn came back from the front line again made Merlin frown. Not to mention the huge number of undead groups, because this is the characteristic of the Necromancer, which has always been a human sea tactic!
What worried Merlin even more was that these undead souls seemed to have high spell resistance, and most low-level spells had no killing effect on them. So the chief of defense at the time took the lead and rushed forward to fight hand-to-hand, only to find that these dead souls were also
Not only are the spirits extremely powerful, but every time a soldier is eaten, the bodies of those undead spirits can be repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye. These are simply a group of unkillable monsters!
The guard chief himself naturally has no problems, but this is not the time for him to show off his personal strength, because from his analysis, these undead souls came from the cemetery outside the southern city of Zemas. Over the years, there has been
I'm afraid no one knows how many corpses have been buried. If there is a necromancer who is really crazy enough to transform all of them into undead, then even if he is stronger, I am afraid that sooner or later he will be beaten by this group of people who don't know fear, fear, or fear.
The monster that knows pain is devoured.
So he decisively ordered to retreat and defend the city gate! He also sent out a message and two requests in succession, notifying the current highest officer in Britain, the Ring Mage Merlin, notifying the Temple of Life, notifying the Temple of the Sun! Come to rescue those injured by the undead.
soldiers and resist the undead invasion!
On the city wall, Merlin looked into the distance. At a glance, he saw countless undead spirits wandering around. With a thought, a huge fireball with a diameter of about three meters exploded directly in the densest place. Just as he thought
Similarly, even with the powerful spells used by the ring mage, only a small part of the undead in the core was destroyed, and most of the undead in the periphery were only blown around by the shock wave generated by the explosion. However, their
Neither the bones nor the rotten flesh on them were ignited by the fire element.
This discovery made Merlin's face darken. He knew exactly how powerful his spell was. If that spell were thrown into the same number of human armies, it would definitely turn thousands of people into ashes!
No scum will be left behind!
It seems that this necromancer is obviously well prepared. Just the first batch of cannon fodder necromancers have such powerful abilities. It is conceivable that there must be more powerful backers behind!
Merlin, who was holding the city wall with his hand, said calmly, "Harry, are the people from the Temple of Life and the Temple of the Sun here?"
Harry is the garrison commander of the city of Zemas, a high-ranking knight. Some people may ask why he is not a high knight. In fact, this is normal. A high knight is not a cabbage. Just grab a handful. In fact, there are five in Britain.
Among the main cities, only the garrison commander of Yalaschi City is a great knight, and he is also equipped with a ring mage!
The reason is very simple. Yalasqi's status is like Shanghai in China and New York in the United States. It is an economic hub city, so the defense force there is much stronger than other cities. It is the only one outside the royal family.
The great knight put it there!
In the whole of Britain, there are only five grand knights on staff, Atwood, and the four royal knights. However, the four royal knights will basically only be dispatched in very serious situations. Most of the time, they are used as strategies.
The power is hidden in the palace, and even Merlin can't see them often!
But even this is enough to keep most countries in awe of the power of Britain. One Knight King, five great knights, and two ring mages! If they are willing, joining forces together, they can really defeat the three major empires.
Any country will suffer heavy losses! Of course, if they really take action, their end will definitely not be much better.
"The people from the Temple of Life have arrived and are helping to treat the injured soldiers! The people from the Temple of the Sun are on the way, and they said they would bring the Sun Mirror with them!"
"Well," Merlin nodded, obviously very satisfied. After all, they give the two temples a lot of convenience every year, whether it's preaching or doing business! Everything that involves them is basically free of obstruction. It seems that
These benefits are not in vain, especially this time the Sun Temple is willing to use the Sun God Mirror.
This made Merlin a little surprised. That thing should be regarded as the projection of an artifact. During the day, it can use the power of the sun god. It really turns ashes everywhere it goes! It is not a problem to deal with such a large number of undead.
nothing!
"How is the situation?" Under the city wall, there were many soldiers injured by the undead lying in various directions. From time to time, some people would moan in a low voice, obviously feeling very uncomfortable!
"Back to the high priest, we just used the group healing technique together. The lives of the soldiers will not be threatened for the time being, but..."
"how?"
"You'd better come and see for yourself." The high priest followed the young female priest to a soldier.
"Good day, Your Majesty." The soldier greeted the priestess politely. After all, his life was saved by someone else.
"Good day," the high priest nodded slightly and looked at the wound on the soldier. Although the blood was no longer flowing, the wound was still rotting.
"Have you used the purification spell?"
"I've tried it, but it doesn't work at all. It seems like something is preventing the wound from healing."
"Really?" The high priest put his hands together and prayed a few words in a low voice. Then he gently placed his golden light hand next to the wound. Under the influence of the golden light, the wound began to slowly heal.
, the black aura inside was also gradually decreasing. However, an accident happened! The golden divine power that could repair the wound was quickly lost, as if it was swallowed by something in the wound!
"Poof~~" The soldier who was being treated suddenly vomited blood, and then his whole body began to rot at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few seconds, the whole person turned into a dead spirit!
"Roar~~" The rotten vocal cords could only make him make a hoarse roar. After living in a peaceful place like the Temple of Life for a long time, there was no sense of crisis for such a priestess who had no fighting ability, and she had never encountered one before.
The undead that can swallow the magic of life. So I was stunned by this sudden change and even forgot to escape!
"Pfft!"
The next moment, the high priest was hugged by the soldiers beside him. The huge force made it impossible for her to break free, and then he was bitten on the neck! She was bitten directly before she could even scream.
Death devoured the flesh and blood of the priestess, and the rotten soldier's body also stopped rotting, and instead became strong and deformed like a balloon!
Immediately afterwards, more screams came out. Apparently, the priestesses who were concentrating on treating the soldiers did not realize that the magic they gave to the soldiers was a death talisman. It not only accelerated the transformation speed of those soldiers into undead, but also
I lost my life!
There were more than a hundred priestesses in total, all of them were killed by the undead spirits that suddenly emerged from the soldiers. Just now they were talking and laughing, but in the blink of an eye, not a single one of the gentle and beautiful priestesses was left. This sudden
The scene that came shocked everyone around. Faced with the undead that moved towards them, they even forgot to call for help!
The commotion on the ground made Merlin on the city wall go to the other side of the city wall and look down. It didn't matter if he looked at it, Merlin almost jumped off the city wall!
Not only were there a bunch of undead under the city wall, but none of the priests of the Temple of Life who were treating the soldiers were dead! Looking at the undead running around, Merlin knew that this was bad, and something had obviously happened below.
, even though they were purified by the magic of life, those soldiers still turned into undead, and so quickly!
It's okay to say that the priest of the Temple of Life died, no matter what the compensation, no matter what, the matter of death in battle can always be solved through peaceful negotiations! The most terrible thing is those undead souls that are scattered in all directions. If they are not killed in time,
If eliminated, they can turn Zemas into a dead city in one day at most!
Just when he was about to go after the undead with all his strength, countless rays of pure white and dazzling light fell from the sky. Those rays of light were like eyes. Each one hit the soldiers who had turned into undead. The so-called spells
The resistance did not play any role at all, and these undead souls that were irradiated were instantly turned into ashes!
At this time, a faint voice floated over from afar, "God said, light will drive away darkness!"
Apparently at the most critical moment, the people from the Sun Temple finally arrived!
