Chapter 163 The Paladin kowtows to the Lich
The moment the holy light magic circle was disturbed, Amber teleported into the city and released a large-scale dark spell.
The entire Sand Shadow City was covered in thick black fog. Not only was it pitch dark, but you couldn't even see your hand in front of you.
But the magic power left by Catherine could only interfere with the magic circle for a few seconds. The Holy Light Magic Circle started to work again and immediately locked onto Ambersu, the undead who exuded a dark aura all over his body.
Amber Xiu has always wanted to see the faith transformation magic circle of the Ryan Empire. Now that he has experienced it personally, he finds that this thing is really powerful.
The transformed holy light power was deeply hidden in the magic circle of Sand Shadow City. After Amber appeared, the holy light condensed into dozens of lightsabers and flew towards him.
The former Amber would never have dared to withstand such power.
Fortunately, he was no longer the fake one he used to be. The Golden Throne directly strengthened the mage shield with all its strength to block the continuous bombardment of holy light.
But every time he blocked a sword, a small piece of Ambershu's golden throne would be cut off, and hundreds or thousands of gold coins would disappear.
The holy light sword continued to flow, and Ambershu's gold also disappeared quickly.
But it’s not a big problem. Amber is rich now, and he even has time to carefully study the composition of these holy light swords.
I don’t know which genius came up with the idea to transform invisible faith into the power of holy light.
This is clearly the power of the gods. To the Lord of Dawn, this should be no different from blasphemy.
But this god just acquiesced, which was too much favor to the Ryan people.
After being bombarded by the holy light for a while, Amber suddenly slashed at the ground, and a wall of earth rose from the ground, and the power of the holy light was instantly reduced by half.
"Oh, I see."
Amber's spells flew everywhere, and many criss-crossing earth walls appeared on the ground of Sand Shadow City. If viewed from above, these earth walls formed another kind of magical structure, "sealing" the entire Sand Shadow City.
The power of faith that was originally rippling throughout the city was like a nailed butterfly, unable to flap its wings anymore.
Amber took the time to take out his notebook and copied down the magic structure. He estimated that the holy light magic arrays in other cities in Ryan were based on the same principle. If he sold it to Withering Rose, he would make back all his money today.
Amber Xiu was happily thinking about business matters.
A unique holy light lit up from a corner of the city.
As thin as a hair, but as bright as the sun, wherever this holy light goes, the darkness will part. The black fog covering the city will be evenly divided and then quickly disappear.
This holy light broke Amber's dark magic, and the technique was so ingenious that Amber couldn't help but exclaimed: "Amazing."
My perception extended to the corner where the holy light appeared, and indeed, I saw an aging figure.
Silver Moon Knight, he never left Sand Shadow City from the beginning, he just hid and watched the changes.
This old guy looked like he was going to die at any moment, but Amber felt a great threat from him. If he really fought with him, even if Amber could delay the Silver Moon Knight's death, he would probably have to return to his life box and be reborn.
The Silver Moon Knight had a serious face. The reason he took action just now was because Amber's dark magic covered the entire city. If it continued, the panic caused would definitely result in many unnecessary casualties.
The Silver Moon Knight wants to test the army of Sand Shadow City and does not want to implicate civilians.
But his action also represented one thing - the test was over, and Sand Shadow City had lost completely.
Without Amber Xiu saying anything, the Silver Moon Knight had already flown into the air. He loudly announced to the people of the city: "Don't panic, this was just a military exercise. Just go home and wait for notification. If anyone commits a crime during the chaos, they will be punished more severely!"
The Silver Moon Knight's weak voice echoed over the city, calming people's hearts very well.
The real militiamen who remained in the city, under Allen's command, quickly dealt with the few people who took advantage of the chaos to cause trouble. Then Allen walked into the Temple of Light in Sand Shadow City with shame on his face.
Silver Moon Knight and Amberxiu were waiting for him here.
When he came in, Allen saw Simon and a group of paladins kneeling on the ground in shame, not even daring to raise their heads. However, it was not only the Silver Moon Knight sitting on top, but also Amber Xiu who had transformed into a human form.
Looking at it from another angle, it looks like hundreds of holy warriors are kneeling and kowtowing to a lich.
Alan was so bitter that even his breathing became heavy.
Although no one knew what had happened, this scene would surely be recorded in the history of the Ryan Empire. These holy warriors would be infamous for eternity and become the new subject of jokes for all the bards on the continent.
Seeing Alan appear, Silver Moon Knight snorted coldly and said to him: "Alan Watson, come here and kneel like them."
Alan didn't dare to refute and could only kneel at the end of the line.
Silver Moon Knight then said coldly: "Everyone is here. Okay, then I will tell you what happened. I invited this Ultraman Master to help you and give you a test. The result disappointed me. In less than a day, you lost the Sand Shadow City. If this is not a drill, do you know what the result will be?
"Tens of thousands of our compatriots in Sand Shadow City will lose their lives because of your stupidity!"
In excitement, Silver Moon Knight's face turned red and he couldn't help but cough violently.
Every sound felt like it was tearing my lungs apart.
Alan lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly. Among all the people present, he was the one with the greatest responsibility, because the Silver Moon Knight had entrusted him with the protection of Sand Shadow City.
One day! Only one day had passed, and the Sand Shadow City was lost!
Tears welled up in Alan's eyes, and he couldn't find the right words to describe his failure.
But not everyone blamed themselves as much as Alan. The Holy Knight Simon, who had been so high-spirited and wanted to leave his name in history, was now unwilling to accept the result. He could not help but retort: "General, this is not our fault. Who would have thought that this lich was so cunning!"
Amber Xiu chuckled and said to Simon, "Of course the undead are cunning. Have you only seen zombies that can't even walk steadily in your life?"
This made all the paladins furious, but also made Simon blush.
This excuse doesn't seem to be very convincing.
But he immediately added, "General, it's not just this reason. There's also the female elf. She pretended to be the Elf Queen and used magic to bewitch our minds, so we believed her lies! That magic is definitely a legendary power, and we can't resist it at all."
The Silver Moon Knight had just caught his breath when he was almost fainted by Simon's anger.
"Shut up! Is Her Majesty Catherine someone you can insult casually?!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Simon was confused and asked in surprise: "General, what did you say? Is that woman really the Elf Queen?!"
Who would believe that the Elf Queen cooperated with the Undead and tricked them into leaving the city and falling into her trap? Even the Lord of Dawn would be shocked if this got out!
Seeing that Silver Moon Knight was almost out of breath, Amber Xiu said, "Ahem, let me explain this matter so that you won't be so unhappy about your defeat, in order to prevent any accidents from happening before he paid.
"First of all, Queen Catherine's identity is beyond doubt. As for what you said about deception, it is actually not true. Queen Catherine was invited by the Silver Moon Knights to participate in this exercise. Her mission is not to deceive you."
"You despicable lich, how dare you lie to me?!" Simon couldn't help but stand up and said excitedly: "She played a trick on you and made us think you were seriously injured! Isn't this cheating?!"
Amber smiled and said, "I'm sorry, in the script, you are really only dealing with a seriously injured lich. If you can kill me in a 'severely injured state' during the second attack, then you will win. Think carefully, during the second battle, was most of my strength restrained by Catherine?
"The reason you failed the second time was because you fell into my magic trap? Didn't Catherine remind you to watch your step before the battle?!"
Simon frowned. What Amber said was true. The second battle was exactly as he described. However, they all fell into the trap as soon as they approached. They could not see clearly what the two men were fighting, and then they were all captured alive by Amber.
Was it true that the lich was set to be in a weakened state from the beginning of this exercise? Could they really not even defeat a legendary lich in a weakened state?
Simon asked again: "How do you explain the fake phylactery? If it weren't for this phylactery, we wouldn't have made up our minds to go out in full force!"
Amber Xiu said happily: "In the script, the phylactery is real. If you really kill me when I am 'severely injured', the phylactery is in your hands, and I can't be reborn. Do you understand? In this way, the exercise is over, and you have successfully protected the Sand Shadow City."
Simon was reluctant to believe it at first, but when he thought back to Catherine's appearance... he couldn't help but believe it a little. The Elf Queen really shouldn't cooperate with the Lich. If this was the script arrangement of the exercise, it would make sense.
Simon still couldn't accept that he was deceived by Catherine, so he convinced himself.
The Silver Moon Knight narrowed his eyes and glanced at Amberxiu. This lich really lied without hesitation. He was clearly working with the Elf Queen to deceive this group of hot-blooded young guys, but he cleared Catherine of all responsibility with just a few words. Is this lich worried that the reputation of the elves will be affected?
If it's true, then the relationship between this lich and the Elf Queen seems to be even closer.
The thought made Silver Moon Knight's fingers tremble.
Lord of the Dawn is above!
The Elf Queen and the Lich... I am just too old and can't keep up with the times.
Amber was indeed trying to exonerate Catherine, but the main reason was that Catherine was too easy to use. If her reputation was ruined now, the next time she deceived people, the effect would be much worse.
In short, Catherine must be pure as ice and jade in this exercise. She is here specifically to help Sand Shadow City balance its combat power so that this group of young people can deal with the legendary undead.
I thought I had fooled them, but Allen stood up and said loudly, "No, the magic circle was disturbed just now, so you were able to break through the defense of the magic circle and enter the city. Aren't these traps that disrupt the magic circle left by Queen Catherine?! If she is completely on our side in the script, how could she help you leave traps?"
Amber looked at Allen. This kid has become smarter and learned how to find loopholes.
However, Amber Xiu said without changing his expression, "You think too much. I had sneaked into the Sand Shadow City before Catherine entered the city. It was because of this sneaking that I met your general, and he invited me to join the exercise. It was also because of his invitation that I had arranged all the means to break into the city before leaving the Sand Shadow City."
Amber turned to the Silver Moon Knight and asked him, "Sir Silver Moon Knight, swear to the Holy Light, am I right about what I just said?"
The Silver Moon Knight wanted to say that every word you, the lich, said was true, but you only told nine out of ten truths.
But after hesitating for a moment, Silver Moon Knight nodded and said, "Yes, every word he said is true."
These guys are too arrogant. We must teach them a profound lesson today. We must make them lose completely and leave them with no excuses!
With the Silver Moon Knight as a guarantee, the paladins had nothing to say. They were so ashamed that they wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Amberxiu really enjoyed the feeling of these holy warriors kowtowing to him, but the time was almost up and it was time to collect the money.
