This lich needs more money

Above the wilderness, a silver-white team was galloping on horseback.

Whether it's the armor on their bodies or the mounts on their crotches, they all exude little bits of sacred light.

This is the Knights of Sin of the Lion Empire, a special force composed of high-level paladins. Even their mounts are celestial war horses summoned through divine magic.

They have all given up their original names and only call each other by code names.

The paladin in charge of leading the team is named Fanxing. He has been running wildly with the Knights of Conviction for three days and three nights, just trying to get to the Alchemy City as quickly as possible.

This was the first time since the establishment of the Knights of Sin that they had the opportunity to face the legendary undead. Every one of them was so excited that they couldn't sleep for a long time. They wished they could fly directly to the Alchemy City to purify all evil in the name of the Holy Light.

However, there is a long distance between the two countries, and the Lane Empire has not very friendly relations with other countries. It is impossible for a powerful armed army like the Knights of Conviction to be directly transmitted to other countries.

Fanxing had to take his teammates through many detours. Now, as long as they passed through the canyon in front of them, the rest would be a smooth road. However, according to intelligence, this canyon is occupied by a huge tribe of jackal people.

The Jackal Man is a cursed, twisted creature that is inherently evil and cruel. After occupying this canyon, it massacred countless passing humans. Fanxing has long been prepared to eliminate this jackal tribe as a warm-up before dealing with the legendary undead.

Although this tribe of jackals numbered in the thousands, and although they had been running wildly for days and nights, Fanxing believed that just ten of them were enough to kill them all.

Just as he reached the outer edge of the canyon, his teammates beside him said, Fanxing, something is wrong ahead.

Fanxing observed carefully in confusion and found something wrong.

The canyon in front of us was covered by a light layer of mist.

The cloud of death hasn't completely dissipated yet?

As the enemy of the undead, Fanxing is very familiar with common necromancy spells. The cloud of death is a large-scale offensive necromancy spell. The caster can create a poisonous cloud that covers a designated location.

There is another explanation for the cloud of death - the city-killing spell.

If multiple necromancers work together to cast spells, they can create a cloud of death covering the entire city, causing great damage in a short period of time.

But the jackal man does not have the talent to become a necromancer, so it is naturally impossible for him to release the cloud of death in his own home. In other words, a necromancer once came to this canyon and a battle took place.

Expand toxin protection, let's rush in and take a look.

Fanxing gave an order, and everyone in the team lit up with magic light. The light green magic lines were constructed into the shape of a shield, allowing these paladins to ignore the effects of most poisons.

Then they rode into the canyon on their heavenly war horses.

The poisonous cloud that had mostly dissipated could no longer have any impact, but when they rushed into the simple camp in the canyon, everyone subconsciously held their breath.

Densely packed corpses of jackal men lay on the ground, their deaths were extremely tragic.

Fanxing jumped off his mount and carefully inspected the bodies of these jackal men.

Then Fanxing discovered that these jackal men were not only poisoned to death, but also many had their bodies penetrated by weapons, their heads torn off by brute force, and most of their bodies were missing, as if they had been devoured by ghouls... From these details It can be concluded that it was not a certain necromancer who massacred the jackals, but a huge undead army.

Skeletons, zombies, ghouls, death knights, abominations...many traces of high-level undead. Fanxing was worried about the traces he found.

The jackals were not attacked unprepared, but the two armies fought head-on. The thousands of jackals were completely killed with almost no ability to fight back.

Keep looking inside. No matter how powerful this undead army is, it's impossible not to leave a single skeleton behind. These are thousands of jackal people. For such a huge tribe, there must be warlocks and leaders... It is impossible for there to be no resistance. Power.

Fanxing's words seemed like an explanation to his teammates, and also like a pep talk for himself.

The scene he saw before him was too outrageous and gave him a bad feeling.

As we headed towards the canyon, we still saw only the corpses of jackal men. At most, we could only find some rotten flesh and blood from the claws and weapons of these corpses, probably left over from fighting the undead.

But still not even half of the bones of the skeleton soldiers could be seen, but many huge horse hoof prints were seen on the ground. This is the charge of the organized death knights. Their nightmare mounts can ignore the rugged terrain and directly tear apart the jackal troops.

It can be seen that the jackal warlocks were pierced by the death knight's spears before they could cast spells, and then were trampled into mud.

Continuing forward, I finally saw a mutilated ghoul corpse, probably because it was completely dismembered and therefore was not taken away. Near these ghoul carcasses were a hundred times as many jackal-man corpses, and a giant jackal-man as big as a grizzly bear was lying on the pile of corpses.

This is obviously the leader of the jackal tribe. Just by looking at his size, he has the power to tear apart tigers and leopards. However, this powerful jackal leader has been hollowed out, and all the internal organs in his abdominal and chest cavity have disappeared. This is Typical ghoul attack style.

Fanxing examined it carefully and came to a conclusion.

The jackal leader was pierced through the body by the death knight's spear, and then his body was thrown to feed the ghouls.

He was unable to cause any damage to the enemy during his lifetime because the giant ax in his hand was not stained with any blood.

As for the torn ghoul, it was most likely that the ghouls fought themselves when they were snatching food, and that was the only casualty.

What shocked Fanxing even more was that the Death Cloud was only used after the war. The purpose was probably just to be too lazy to clean up the battlefield.

They were not collecting corpses or trophies, they were just passing by, and they seemed to be in a hurry. Unfortunately, this group of jackals blocked their way.

When Fanxing came to this conclusion, the expressions of all the paladins became solemn. They are all experts in dealing with the undead and understand what this battlefield represents. A huge undead army passed by here and headed towards the Alchemy City.

This undead army has at least dozens of death knights, thousands of skeletons, and other undead soldiers such as ghouls. More importantly, there are many necromancers in it.

So the question is, what kind of strong man can lead such an army of undead, so powerful that he doesn't even bother to take away the corpses of these jackal men?

Fanxing looked towards the direction of the Alchemy City, feeling that this mission was more difficult than imagined.

Everyone, be prepared. This time, we may have to deal with more than one legendary undead.

The reminder of the stars made all the paladins become nervous, but soon a teammate reminded: Such a huge undead army is heading towards the Alchemy City. Is it preparing to attack the Alchemy City? If so, maybe We can use the power of Alchemy City to deal with this group of undead.

This suggestion made Fanxing's eyes light up. This was indeed a good idea.

Yes, let's speed up. It's best to bypass this undead army and reach the Alchemy City in advance!

Fanxing took out a magic scroll of group flight. Not long after, the group of paladins flew through the sky like meteors, very carefully avoiding the huge undead army marching on the ground.

It's just that they didn't notice that there was an extremely huge shadow hidden in the clouds higher in the sky. After they were far away, a huge dragon head poked out of the clouds.

A huge bone dragon thirty or forty meters long fell from the sky and landed in front of a huge carriage. This carriage made entirely of silver was pulled by sixteen Hell Nightmare horses. It was like a small palace, looking extremely noble and luxurious.

The Bone Dragon growled lowly at the carriage: Sister Qiangwei, why don't you kill these nasty paladins?

A cold voice came from the carriage and replied: Didn't you say that you saved Gareth in the Lion Empire and that's why he fell in love with you?

I want to try it too.
