Chapter 789: Causing the Tiger to Leave the Mountain) Please vote for recommendations)
Lorraine watched the lichs dressed in black, exuding a cold aura, and full of ominous crows flying overhead. Finally, they came to the steps of the Great Demon Temple, and then slowly fell down.
.
Then Lorraine lowered his head to avoid being seen by the lich again, secretly thinking in his heart, it seemed that they had succeeded.
The people who were watching the excitement and watching inhumanely fell silent when they saw the black-clothed lich descending from the sky.
The square that had been laughing and shouting just now suddenly became quiet. Tens of thousands of people looked at the lichs as if they were frozen, and the atmosphere was strange.
Liches are attendants directly subordinate to the High Priest of the Undead, but it is difficult for ordinary people to see lichs or dark mages. To ordinary people, they only exist in horror legends.
At this time, the lichs turned around and scanned the people in the square with their pale green eyes.
A gloomy and cold aura emanated from their bodies and surged up like a tide. In a short time, it enveloped the entire square.
Those who were glanced at by this glance felt as if they had come into contact with a cold dead body. Fear, cold, depression, destruction, despair, sorrow... and other negative emotions immediately filled everyone's hearts.
That feeling was as painful as heart-breaking.
Many people turned blue, had splitting headaches, and wanted to vomit. They hurriedly held their heads and buried their breasts.
Some with weak resistance even held their heads in their hands and rolled on the ground in agony.
In just a short while of contact, many people were already driven to mental breakdown by their powerful aura~!
And this kind of aura is just what they naturally reveal.
For a time, the square was filled with wailing and screaming.
The leader of the lich glanced at the people in the square and saw that they all lowered their heads under his powerful momentum. The corners of his stiff mouth could not help but twitch slightly, and there was a trace of amusement in his eyes.
Mortals should fear this powerful force.
But then he couldn't help but be startled.
There are people at the other end of the square who are not affected at all~!
A fat, white man had his hands on his hips, his big black eyes were shining, full of anger, and he would not give in.
Next to him, a pure white baby elephant couldn't hide the combative look in its eyes, glaring at him angrily, eager to rush over.
The lich couldn't help but tilted his head in surprise. Some people could not be affected by the lich's spiritual aura.
But then I realized that these children were innocent and simple, and did not have so many dark and negative emotions in their hearts.
It is difficult to have an emotional impact on them just by relying on spiritual magic.
He immediately sneered: It’s true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers~!
At this time, someone nearby had already pulled the little fat man to the back of the crowd, and the little elephant was also pulled away.
A trace of disdain flashed in the eyes of the lich. This powerful Thunder Flash clan is a race that respects the bloodthirsty and cruel demon god, and a nation that honors heroes and bravery. But when facing him, except for a child,
Except for that, no one dared to look up and look at it. Oh, and there was also a baby elephant.
What a bunch of cowards!
This race has...
Already completely depraved~!
Only great undead, undead beings without emotions or weaknesses, are qualified to rule the world~!
How can ordinary people understand that death is not the end of life, but the beginning of life.
He glanced at Xiaobai, who was swaying his huge butt in the distance and striding away. He saw the arrogant little elephant turning back and snorting disdainfully at him. He couldn't help but pause.
Then he was stunned for a moment.
That little elephant seems to have been seen somewhere before?
Why do I feel that this scene seems a little familiar, like a yellow and dry picture that is already covered with dust in the deepest memory of my heart.
Just as he was thinking about it, he felt a trace of magic coming from the hall. It was the high priest summoning them.
The lich suddenly woke up.
He took one last look in the distance, only to see Xiaobai and the others had disappeared. Then he slowly shook his head: He hadn't been to Thunder Flash very often, how could he have seen it before?
If you live for too long, your memory will inevitably have some fragments. Maybe you think too much.
Another lich next to him came over and said in a hoarse voice: "Sir, the high priest is already waiting..."
The lich snorted coldly, then turned around and strode towards the main hall. Accompanied by several lichs nearby, he immediately disappeared into the dark door of the Demon Temple.
The aura of death that shrouded the square slowly dissipated. The sense of horror and terror that weighed on the hearts of the people in the square disappeared little by little.
Only then did the common people dare to raise their heads and look at the door of the temple, and they started talking about it for a while.
"Oh my god, that's the real undead master~!"
"This day is really worth it."
"They are really awesome."
"Yeah, just one look at it made me... scare Raul to the point of pissing his pants. Hahaha..."
"Yeah, the guy next to me was so scared that he was shaking all over, and then I smelled a bad smell. When I saw it, guess what, he actually scared the shit out of him, hahahaha..."
"..."
Even though each of them was still pale, and the goosebumps on their bodies had not gone away, in order to calm down the fear just now, they kept talking and laughing loudly, mocking the others around them.
It's just that the tone of their speech is a bit dry.
At this time, the rapid drum beat sounded again.
Another batch of noble prisoners with their hands tied behind their backs had already stepped onto the stage.
The common people immediately turned their attention and looked at the nobles on the stage expectantly. Maybe they knew it was too embarrassing, maybe they had become really cowardly and forgetful. Maybe they were too scared.
,
Not a word was mentioned again about what had just happened.
The lich led a few people and walked deeper along the spacious corridor.
The hall was completely dark and quiet, with only dim torches burning on both sides, flickering on and off.
Perhaps due to the effect of some magic, the light of the torch turned into a strange pale white color in the darkness, giving people a cold feeling. It did not have the hot temperature that a flame should have. It was not only weak, but also swaying constantly. It seemed to be under the sky.
It will go out in a second.
The shadows of several lichs illuminated by the flickering flames swayed unsteadily from the ground.
From the depths of the hall, there was a faint cold wind blowing.
At the same time, there seems to be a sad song coming. It goes straight to the bottom of the heart and makes people's scalp numb.
But if you listen carefully, you will find that it is just the sound of the north wind blowing through the hall.
As these lichs walked among them, they found that the hall was extremely quiet and could not hear a sound at all. There was only the sound of the silk robes rubbing gently as they walked.
This atmosphere makes them feel very comfortable. They are originally lives in darkness, and it is sunlight that they hate.
They reached the depths of the hall, stopped at the same time, and then raised their heads.
On the main seat of the high platform, an old man with gray hair and simple clothes was sitting condescendingly on the chair that represented the supreme.
He leaned on the armrest with his left arm, slightly supporting his head with his left hand, and tapping the table in front of him with his right hand, not knowing what he was thinking about.
The lichs looked at each other, then knelt down on one knee and said in unison: "I have met the officiant."
The high priest raised his head, glanced at them, and said, "What are you doing here in such a hurry this time? Have you found the war fortress?"
The leader of the lich glanced at him secretly, then gritted his teeth and said: "Go back to the officiant, but... maybe we have found it."
The high priest was stunned for a moment, and then said: "If you find it, you have found it. If you haven't found it, you haven't found it. What does it mean that you may have found it?"
Although there was no emotion in his words, the lich couldn't help but shudder. The high priest never showed joy or anger on his face, which made people feel scary.
The Lich was silent for a moment, thinking about what to say, and then said: "Back to you, sir. During the search two days ago, Cherno and several dark disciples did not come back. We sent people to search that area again.
The remaining mana fluctuations were found on a small island, and then during a search, they found...their bones were found."
The high priest's eyes flashed, and then he said in a deep voice: "What did you say? Did they die in the battle? Did Cherno die? What exactly happened? Please explain it slowly."
The lich took a deep breath and said: "That's it. When we followed their tracks and found them, they had been hastily buried, and the bodies had been... purified. Chel
Nuo's phylactery has also disappeared."
The lich paused for a moment, and then continued: "It can make Cherno not even have a chance to escape. Looking at the strength of the holy technique, he must be a red archbishop."
The high priest immediately snorted coldly and cursed in a low voice: "Trash~!"
The lich raised his head and glanced at the high priest, then lowered his head and continued: "And there are traces of hidden magic being used around it. It must be above the master level. And deep in a cave, a war fortress was also seen.
The traces left behind. It seems that they replenished their energy and drove away again. Currently, we are concentrating all our manpower to search for them in that sea area. However, we have no clue."
Having said this, he glanced at the high priest secretly, and then continued: "Master Priest, the enemy is powerful, including magicians and red archbishops. And we cannot determine their specific number. They are definitely coming well prepared.
This time they mobilized such a powerful force for the war fortress, and they were sure to win.
But for the sake of the war fortress, we cannot afford to lose anything.
so……"
Having said this, he stopped, then raised his head, glanced at the high priest, and seeing that he remained calm, he hurriedly lowered his head.
He looked at the floor in front of him and continued: "Although they are powerful, they have come from afar after all. If we can take advantage of this opportunity to wipe them all out in one fell swoop, then the strength of the human race will definitely suffer a heavy blow~!"
After saying that, he lowered his head and waited quietly, waiting for the high priest's decision.
At this moment, he didn't know that outside the Great Demon Temple, Lorraine was also waiting eagerly for the high priest's decision. Even more eagerly than the several lichs in the temple.
Although the hole he dug was big and beautiful, and the bait was fat enough, he still had to make the other party fall for the bait.
If the high priest can hold back his temper, remain calm, and still sit in Thunder Castle. In that case, the greatest result will be that the already naked war fortress breaks through the front line of the necromancers and returns to
Human territory.
With such an obvious target as a war fortress, it is not easy to avoid the search and interception of the lichs. After all, this is the home of the dark mages.
If Adeling wants to run away from marriage again, it will not be that easy, and she has to continue to hide it. The most she can do is learn from the advanced experience of Sir Wei when he gave Wu Yingxiong a wedding, and find an opportunity to marry that heartthrob.
The prince was knocked unconscious and then fell away with a knife. He turned around and tried to escape.
But despite this, the marriage alliance between Thunder Flash and Spirit Flash must still be effective. For the high priest, it has no impact on his plan.
There was silence in the Great Demon Temple, and everyone was quietly waiting for the high priest's decision...
The lich knelt on one knee, and he didn't know how long it had passed before he suddenly heard the voice of the high priest, saying: "I understand. Hydro, I will leave this place to you for the time being. I will go to the sea in person to inform you.
Go down, mobilize troops, strengthen the search, and this time we must annihilate all the human race people in one fell swoop."
As he said that, he already stood up.
He took a few steps forward, but suddenly stopped. He looked back at the lich and said, "Hydlo, you are the disciple I admire most.
You know, this wedding is very important. And..."
When he said this, his tone paused slightly and he took a sharp breath.
The Lich's heart suddenly sank. You must know that the person in front of him, whether in the past or now, has always been the most powerful person in the world, and there is no one. Of course, the Dragon Clan and the people who exist in the legend
Except for the strong.
The high priest has always been "unchanging despite the collapse of the mountain". Even if the end of the world comes, he will look at him with cold eyes. To him, it is just the end of the old and the beginning of the new.
But now, his mood actually fluctuated.
He quickly lowered his head deeply.
At this time, I heard the high priest say softly: "I have always regarded Adelin as my daughter. From the time she walked into Akadelin, I have watched her grow up step by step.
It seems that I may not be able to make it back to her wedding this time, but you must make it a glorious one for me. You must satisfy Adelina, do you understand?"
The lich replied respectfully: "As you command, Master."
The high priest had already picked up his cane at this time, and then called the remaining lichs and said: "All of you, follow me. Send an order to mobilize the guardians of the temples in various places."
The few people agreed and stood up immediately.
Hydro could not help but be startled.
At this time, the high priest did not look back and said: "When you turn around, I will send Edwood as your assistant. He... is a little unlucky. Please help him more."
As he spoke, the staff in his hand hit the ground heavily, and then he led a group of lichs to fly into the air, and then flew towards the door in the distance.
Hydro looked at his back and couldn't help but lamented. Although as a lich, he was used to seeing many things in the world, but when he heard Edwood's name, he couldn't help but frown.
Not only is that guy a traitor from the human race, he thinks he is noble and insists on letting others call him Dr. Lich. He is also uneducated and incompetent. He only knows how to flatter and please the high priest.
Then he snitched behind him, which made a group of people hate him extremely. But who made the high priest value this guy very much?
A colleague once made a secret bet in private as to when that guy would be killed by a cold arrow from his peers.
I don't know where the guy suffered a big loss. He lived in peace for two years, but recently he started to tremble again, like a cockroach, making him restless.
But then, he couldn't help but feel something in his heart, Edwood? He seemed to see some picture in his place, which was very similar to something he had just seen?
Forget it, no matter what, it's not this damn guy who was purified by the cardinal.

Lorraine stood on the street, looking eagerly at the entrance of the Great Demon Temple, her heart anxious as she waited.
If he hadn't known that the old guy was so powerful that he couldn't afford to offend him, he would have rushed over and listened carefully to the wall. Now, he could only wait outside with his neck stretched out.
All the plans he made were centered around the high priest. If the old guy didn't fall for the trick, all of it would be in vain.
Lorraine couldn't help but sigh, feeling a little powerless. Compared with the strongest man in the world, his little cleverness was really nothing.
However, Lorraine could only cry out helplessly. These strong men were not old monsters who had lived for hundreds or thousands of years.
Just when he was a little restless, watching Xiaobai secretly sneaking into the square to touch people's wallets. At this moment, he heard a low exclamation in the large square in front of him.
He hurriedly raised his head and took a closer look, only to see several black dots flying out from the large entrance of the Great Demon Temple.
Perhaps time was too tight, and those black dots didn't even stop. As soon as they left the gate, they immediately rose into the sky and flew forward quickly without even looking at the Thunderbolt Man below.
Lorraine hurriedly took out her telescope, opened the barrel, and looked at the black spots.
In the lens, there was a blur at first, and then it gradually became clear. You can see the clothes of those people.
But then it flickered and became blurry again. They were flying too fast.
Lorraine stretched out her hand and quickly adjusted the focus. While adjusting, she swept the lens barrel over the bodies of the men in black one by one.
The first one was dressed in black and was not the high priest.
Neither is the second one.
The third one...
Immediately, he saw the old man in gray robe who was guarded by several lichs in the middle. Even in the strong wind at high altitude, his gray hair was still not messy at all, and his gray robe was only shaking slightly.
He was leading the lichs and flew towards the east quickly. In just a blink of an eye, the union disappeared into the sky.
Lorraine immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his plan finally worked.
This troublesome old guy is finally gone.
The people in the square also breathed a sigh of relief. These undead people, who were like mourning crows, were finally gone.
The living life cannot resist the gloomy death breath of the undead.
The royal family and nobles on the second floor balcony also breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the high priest has left, it means that they will no longer be held accountable for the civil war.
His head was finally saved. Although he lost a large number of loyal subordinates, he could still recruit these subordinates if he had money and power.
But just when they relaxed a little and were congratulating each other, they saw an undead man in black clothes and holding a bone staff at the entrance of the Great Demon Temple slowly walked out and stood quietly at the door.
The pale green light in the pupils swept across everyone's faces coldly and indifferently.
Everyone suddenly fell silent again.
They knew that even though the high priest was gone, he left behind a powerful lich. That powerful shadow still hung over their heads.
The day is still as gloomy as ever~!
At this time, the rapid drum beat sounded again. Another group of nobles walked up to the gallows.
All the Thunder Flash people present invariably felt a little uninterested at this time, and found that this large-scale execution seemed to be a bit long, and it was not as interesting as when it just started.
It was always the same routine of hanging people, taking them off, and hanging them again, and those who were executed also lost interest in telling jokes.
At this time, Lorraine had already pulled Xiaobai and Leo into the carriage together, and rushed towards his station.
Now that the high priest has gone out, he must take action immediately. Fight with them for a while, otherwise all the efforts will be wasted by waiting for them to react.
This time may only last three to five days.
Moreover, Adeling's wedding was imminent. If it was not timely, she would become someone else's wife. Even though it was in name only, Lorraine also felt very uncomfortable.
Lorraine ran all the way back to the station.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Adele chatting with the two people.
When the three girls saw him rushing back, they were all shocked.
Lorraine looked at them, took a breath, and whispered: "It's begun."
The three girls listened to Lorraine's words at this time. They looked at each other and saw the surprise and panic in each other's eyes.
Adeling had long wanted to run away, but at this moment, when it really came, she felt that her legs were a little weak. She sat back and murmured: "It's begun."
Adele stood up immediately and said: "Finally, it has begun."
Fiona looked at them and then at Lorraine. Although she didn't know much about Lorraine's plan, she also knew that this time they were challenging the high priest, a powerful figure like a god among the Semitic people.
For a moment, she was so nervous that she could hardly breathe, and could only murmur: "It's begun."
After a while, a goshawk roared and flew into the sky with spread wings.
