Chapter 54 Cautious Paladins

The tall and majestic city walls were in sight in the distance, and Fanxing and the other paladins breathed a sigh of relief.

After running for so many days, I finally arrived at the Alchemy City.

Fanxing raised his right hand and made a gesture, and the Knights of Conviction slowed down in unison, then quickly stopped.

They were visiting in an official capacity, representing the face of the Ryan Empire, so they couldn't enter the Alchemy City in such a dusty state.

A rain suddenly fell from the sky, soaking the heavily armored paladins.

This was rain created by magic, which washed away most of the dirt on their bodies.

Coupled with simple spells such as light magic, the sacred armor produced by the Ryan Empire sparkled in the sun, and everyone suddenly looked like a country bumpkin transformed into a noble holy warrior.

Then everyone walked towards the Alchemy City at a leisurely pace.

The closer you get to this city, the more you can feel its prosperity.

Even though the Alchemy City has recently fallen into an economic crisis, there are still many caravans coming and going, and the sky is filled with airships.

But even in the dense crowd, the Knights of Conviction are still the most dazzling existence.

Before they reached the huge gate of the Alchemy City, a huge airship had already squeezed through the crowd and landed in front of them.

An alchemist in gorgeous clothes walked down from the airship and said to the group of Knights of Judgment, "Welcome everyone. I am Gustavo Flynn. On behalf of the Alchemist Council, I welcome everyone from the Ryan Empire."

The stars knew the name, Gustavo Flynn, the sixth seat of the Alchemist Council.

Although this position is very high, Fanxing still feels that the Alchemy City did not let the mysterious president come out to greet him, which seems to indicate that it does not attach enough importance to the Ryan Empire.

Although there are nine kingdoms, in reality there is only one superpower and many strong ones.

The Ryan Empire is the only superpower, so Fanxing is naturally a bit arrogant towards people from other countries.

But Fanxing would not show such arrogance. He contacted Gustavo Flynn very politely, and then took his teammates on board the magic airship.

Gustavo Flynn exchanged a few words with Fanxing and then arranged for the group of holy warriors to rest on the airship.

When only her own people were left in the box, Fanxing couldn't help but sigh, "The magic technology of the Alchemy City is indeed amazing. I have a magic airship at home, but I've never seen one this big."

This magic airship is indeed huge. It can easily carry one or two hundred people. With a little modification, it can become a very good aerial fortress.

Another paladin said, "No matter how big it is, it's useless. The airship is too slow and can only be a target."

Fanxing nodded. This statement was correct. The magic airship could be considered a very good means of transportation, but it was not very suitable for use on the battlefield.

The main reason is that every family has magic cannon technology, plus the flying arms of each race and camp, it is not too easy to deal with slow airships. Once the airship crashes, the loss will be too great, and using it in war is not worth the loss.

However, airships are good for bullying monsters like goblins and jackals in the wild.

"I've heard of this Gustavo Flynn. He's a very famous alchemist. He should be able to represent the attitude of the Alchemy City. It's a pity that they don't seem willing to fully cooperate."

After boarding the airship, Fanxing couldn't wait to discuss rescuing Allen with Gustavo Flynn, but the answer he got made him very dissatisfied.

The Alchemy City said that Alan Watson was hired by someone else to attack the castle of the lich, and was captured after failing. The lich's behavior did not violate the laws of the Alchemy City, so they could not take the initiative to ask the lich to hand him over.

This statement made Fanxing very unhappy.

Why talk about laws with a lich? Just go over and tear down his castle, smash his life box and scatter his ashes. It is indeed a country full of heretics. The rules here are simply unreasonable.

After Fanxing expressed his protest, Gustavo Flynn said very subtly that if the Ryan Empire wanted the Alchemy City to break its rules, it would need to pay a higher price, rather than just issuing a diplomatic document and asking them to cooperate.

Fanxing hesitated again and again and did not continue arguing about this issue.

On the surface, Fanxing is an envoy of the Lion Empire, but he came here not to negotiate, but to save people. The Supreme Judgment has made it clear that no negotiation conditions will be accepted. Even if his son died at the hands of the lich, the Lion Empire cannot negotiate with others.

Therefore, Fanxing did not continue to ask the Ryan Empire for cooperation, but only obtained relevant information from Gustavo Flynn.

Now Fanxing took out all the intelligence information and discussed ways to rescue people with his teammates.

After carefully reading the information in his hand, Fanxing breathed a sigh of relief.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The report shows that this lich has not been reincarnated for long.

Although he was a legendary rank, the young lich was definitely easier to deal with. The reason was simple, the lich's strength was not only due to his spellcasting ability, but also to his massive undead army.

But undead require corpses and souls to be created, especially high-level undead like Death Knights, which not only require suitable materials, but also a lot of time to cultivate a suitable soul.

This lich's reincarnation time is short, so he must not have a large army of undead. The undead army that left traces in the valley before should not belong to this Ultraman Tiga.

This is the best news. Without the assistance of a huge undead army, the threat posed by this lich is reduced by half.

A paladin suggested: "Why not attack the lich's castle directly? Alan has been held captive for too long. The sooner we rescue him, the greater his chances of survival."

Fanxing shook his head and said, "Although the Alchemy City allows us to attack directly, it is too reckless to do so. We have traveled for such a long time and have consumed too much physical strength. We need to rest and recover to our best condition. And Alan is not a weakling. He was accompanied by thousands of militiamen and a priest, but he was still captured. This lich is not as weak as imagined.

"After all, it is a castle full of various magical traps. We may not be able to break through it by forceful attack, and it is easy to cause unnecessary casualties."

The Knights of Judgment are not afraid of death, but they are all the future of the Lion Empire, and no one can sacrifice in vain. As the captain, Fanxing must be responsible for his teammates.

"We will first find a place to stay in the Alchemy City. Today we will disperse our forces to gather more information and have a good night's rest.

“Although the Alchemy City officials are unwilling to send troops to help, there is an economic crisis here. We can provide some money, and I believe many people will be willing to take risks for the money.

"Recruit some rogues or rangers and have them sneak in and investigate first. Maybe we can avoid a lot of dangers."

Fanxing's prudent arrangements convinced everyone. Following such a cautious captain, capturing a legendary lich would be easy.
