Chapter 160: Provoking Civil Unrest

Ambershoe sat on the golden throne, suspended high above the desert.

The dazzling golden light below had no effect on him, and he could see the battle between the werewolf and the paladin clearly.

There were thirty gnolls, some big and some small, all ferocious monsters, but under the attack of the troops led by the two holy warriors, they were killed like chopping melons and vegetables, and had almost no power to resist.

Catherine, wearing sunglasses, also floated beside Amber Xiu and asked curiously, "What's the point of you controlling these jackals? They were all killed before they even approached the city gate."

This is just a group of very weak gnolls. A spell to control monsters can completely control their leader, and then allow this group of gnolls to attack Sand Shadow City.

But the question is, what use can this monster, which is not even cannon fodder, be to Sand Shadow City?

"Don't worry. These gnolls can't have any impact on Sand Shadow City. I'm just testing their reaction."

"The Jackal didn't even last two minutes. What did he find out?" Catherine asked puzzled.

"Look at the city gates. They started to close before these holy warriors went into battle. It seemed like they were running out of the city at the last moment. But is it necessary to close the city gates to deal with these gnolls?" asked Amberxiu.

"Perhaps the people in charge of defending the city are more cautious?" Catherine speculated.

"That makes some sense, but if they are cautious, why would they rashly send people out to fight these gnolls head-on? Wouldn't it be safer to wait until the gnolls get close and then shoot arrows directly from the city wall? How can someone be so cautious and aggressive at the same time?"

"Why is that?"

"How would I know? That old man won't give me any information. Isn't it time to test him?"

Amberxiu was also helpless. Apart from asking Amberxiu to attack Sand Shadow City, the Silver Moon Knight didn't say anything else. He said that he wanted to completely simulate a foreign invasion, so not only did he not have any intelligence, he also asked Amberxiu to leave Sand Shadow City and invade from the outside.

Of course, the Silver Moon Knight also swore to the Holy Light that he would not give any clues to the defenders of Sand Shadow City, ensuring that this would be a fair offensive and defensive duel.

However, Amberxiu was not planning to launch a direct undead siege on the city. Such a strong attack would make it difficult to control casualties and naturally it would be difficult to earn money from the Ryan Empire.

Amber's goal is to capture them all alive without killing anyone, and then sell them to Ryan to make a fortune.

In order to achieve this goal, we must first understand the reality of this Sand Shadow City.

"Don't worry, just be patient. I left something on those gnolls."

Amber drew a magic circle with his fingers, and the sound of the battle below was clearly heard by the two.

The gnolls were quickly killed by the attack of the paladins, leaving only low and weak wails. The Lions killed these strong gnolls one by one, making sure that the enemies were dead, and quickly ended the battle.

One of the leading paladins said to his companions, "They are just some gnolls. Alan Watson is too cowardly to dare to face the enemy head-on. The experience of being captured before was too much of a blow to him."

Another paladin also laughed and said, "Haha, the young master who has lived a life of luxury encountered that terrifying legendary lich in his first training, and caused the Knights of Judgment to suffer heavy losses. This will probably be a shadow in his life. No wonder the general let him guard this small border town. This man's will is like a broken sword, and he is of no use."

"You can't blame him. Didn't you hear that he was tortured by the lich and was covered in bruises. Both his body and mind were completely broken. It's good enough that he can stand here again."

"Ah? There is such a thing? Where did you hear it from?"

"It was a rejected manuscript. It was originally submitted to the supplement of Legendary Curse, but was later rejected by our Supreme Judge. I have a friend who works in the editorial department. He told me that it describes the torture that Alan suffered when he was captured. The author is another captive with him. The description of the article... Oh, it's really too cruel. I felt very sympathetic after reading it. I wonder how the Supreme Judge felt when he saw his son being tortured like this?"

"Really? Lend it to me after you go back. However, since Alan was tortured so badly, why did the Supreme Judge withdraw the wanted order for the lich?"

"This is the magnanimity of the Supreme Judge. Whether we are willing to admit it or not, the lich saved the lives of tens of millions of people. This righteous act should naturally be rewarded accordingly. Even though the Supreme Judge had a personal grudge against him, he did not violate the doctrine because of the grudge."

"That's so admirable. I probably couldn't do it. Alas, Alan, this kid is really not worthy of being the son of the Supreme Judge."

…

Catherine listened to the gossip and said in surprise, "Did you really do something terrible to this paladin named Alan?"

Amber was a little embarrassed.

It was indeed Amberxiu who asked Harvey to write that submission, but the content was all fabricated, just to force the editor to pay a ransom. Who would have thought that Ryan was so cruel that he didn't even want his own son, and this submission became his "evidence of guilt".

Amber Xiu could only explain: "The torture was fake. I was very busy at that time and had no time to torture this holy warrior. I just asked someone to write a letter to his father, hoping to get some ransom, but failed."

Catherine looked at Amber with suspicion.

Amber Xiu said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. I'm a lich, isn't it normal for me to torture the paladin? The key point now is that Alan Watson has become the defender of this Sand Shadow City, and the people under him have conflicts with him. This can be used to good advantage."

"What are you going to do?" Catherine asked curiously.

"It's very simple. We just need to make their rift bigger. Old Man Yin Yue's letter of recommendation can only save us two or three days. I don't want to waste too much time here."

Amberxiu no longer hid his figure and dropped directly from the sky onto the battlefield.

The dark magic power no longer converged, and turned into a halo of fear, covering an area of ​​hundreds of meters around.

Those ordinary Ryan soldiers were frightened to the point that their legs went weak, and some even fainted, but the two holy warriors reacted extremely quickly, immediately activating their own auras of courage and vitality, offsetting most of Amber's powerful pressure.

But there is little point in doing so, because Amber is no longer the fake legend he used to be. The two holy warriors are no match for him at all.

Amberxiu simply used the Human Immobilization Spell, and the two holy warriors were completely suppressed by him like statues.

Even though they were wearing full body magic gear, all kinds of magic resistance effects were useless, as if they were naked.

This is the power of the Golden Throne. The strengthened spells cannot be resisted by ordinary means.

Once a wizard's spell is sure to hit the target, he is a true wizard.

To deal with these holy knights, there is no need to arrange assassinations like we did before when dealing with Fanxing. You can just use your invincible power to crush them like the headless knight Gareth did. No one below the legendary level can stop them.

If Sand Shadow City didn't already have a complete city defense system, Amber Xiu would have gone straight into the city and used his Wushuang skills, which might have helped solve the problem more quickly.

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

"Go back and tell Alan Watson that his old friend is here to talk to him about the past. Tell him to leave the city alone and come to me. Otherwise, you'll have to wait for them to collect his body."

Amberxiu waved his hand and a whirlwind rolled up, and all the Ryan people in front of him were rolled up and sent into Amberxiu's private space.

There was only one holy warrior left on the battlefield.

Amber sneered and then disappeared.

As Amberxiu left, the effect of the immobilization spell on the holy warrior also dissipated. However, he looked at the empty desert and could not find any trace of Amberxiu.

The sudden appearance of a powerful enemy shocked him. After searching for a while without any results, the holy warrior could only turn around and run towards the Sand Shadow City.

Amber returned to the sky again and said to Catherine, "That's about it. When this paladin returns to the city, he should tell me the truth. Alan Watson's reputation is not good enough, and other people don't obey him. Now I claim to be looking for trouble with him and let him pay the ransom himself. It won't be long before Sand Shadow City falls into chaos."

Catherine asked doubtfully, "Can this sow discord between them? Are the people of the Ryan Empire so easily deceived?"

Amber smiled and said to Catherine, "Of course it's not that easy. The paladins have all been rigorously trained and have strong wills. It's not easy to make them lose their composure. So, I need to add fuel to the fire."

"Adding fuel to the fire, are you planning to launch another sneak attack?" Catherine asked curiously.

As they spent more and more time together, Catherine admired Amberhu more and more. This lich was really good at calculating people's hearts. Catherine felt that she had learned a lot from Amberhu.

"There is no point in a surprise attack and arresting people. It will only strengthen their idea of ​​sharing a common hatred of the enemy. What I want is their internal strife, so we can't let them calm down. Catherine, do you know when men are least calm?" asked Amber Xiu.

Catherine shook her head. As a homely girl, she knew nothing about these things.

"It's simple. Men are the least rational when they are thinking with their lower body."

"Lower body?" Catherine pondered for a moment, her face flushed. What the hell was this perverted lich talking about? ! Is this a question that can be discussed? !

Amber Xiu had no intention of hiding it, and said to Catherine in a serious tone: "You are the fire, you will burn their rationality and then fall into my trap."

"Don't even think about it! I won't help you do such a thing. People who play with feelings will go to hell!"

Catherine refused righteously. She just came here to work and never thought of selling her body. This was something Catherine could never accept.

Amber Xiu said strangely: "What kind of feelings are you playing with? Do you think I want you to flirt with these holy warriors?"

"What else?" asked Catherine.

Amber Xiu said with a bit of regret: "When they are in chaos and quarreling, tell them that you are a legendary ranger who has been hunting me for a long time and hope to get their help. Go and encourage these holy warriors and give them the courage to charge at me.

"Don't always think of yourself as a vase. Your charm is irresistible even to the undead. You have already surpassed the basic instincts of men and women. Catherine, you have been wasting your talent. If you can look far enough, you can even unify this continent."

Catherine's big eyes were full of confusion.

Unify... the continent? (End of this chapter)
