Chapter 35: Paladin Version: Do Not Eat Meat

Never fight a mage in his mage tower unless you are attacking by surprise.

This can be said to be common sense, but things in the world cannot always go as planned.

Just like now, the battle has begun, and there is no turning back.

All the magic defense systems in the castle were activated, and countless dark energies shot out from the castle, falling into the enemy like a cannon.

Mortals cannot resist this magical power and will be corroded into bones if they are touched.

But the Holy Knight and the Priest of Light were not affected. The domineering anti-magic force field made all magic completely dissipate after entering the range of the light shield. As long as the force field lasted, the two of them were immune to magic.

Unless one can cast divine-level spells, one cannot break through the restrictions of the anti-magic field.

At this point, the difference between parallel imported legends and legendary ones can be seen.

Each legend is a demigod who has transcended the mortal world and mastered a little divine power.

Under normal circumstances, the legendary lich Amberxiu could use a magic spell containing divine power to teach these two young people from the Ryan Empire how to behave.

But after giving up the path of the prophecy school, Amber Xiu did not have any magic that could reach the demigod level, and he could only choose to avoid this anti-magic force field. Fortunately, this was cast by magic scrolls, and he just had to wait for the duration to end.

Normally, this kind of scroll casting can only last for one or two minutes.

Amber's leisure was in stark contrast to the enemy's panic.

Harvey dodged left and right in the dark energy, and relied on his extremely accurate intuition to hold on until the first round of magic bombardment was over.

Although he was unscathed, Harvey was still sweating profusely. If he had made the slightest mistake, he would have turned into a pile of bones. The mage apprentice's negligible magic power could not withstand such a strong magic attack even if he had put up a shield.

Looking behind him, the Porcupine Knight was lucky enough to survive, but three of the lords who came with him to fight the Lich died, and both the men and their horses were corroded into bones.

The other soldiers suffered even more casualties, with more than two hundred people killed on the spot. However, there were very few injured because the magic attack just now was too terrifying. Almost anyone who was touched would die completely.

It was so tragic that Harvey really wanted to ask, why did you provoke him?

After all, they still underestimated the power of this lich. Several lords were clearly fighting far away from the battlefield. According to common sense, this place was beyond the maximum range of magic.

Who would have thought that this castle was specially designed to enhance the range of magic.

Harvey couldn't help but wonder, "Did this lich start making adjustments against us after taking in the free folk?"

This is a bit too much to think about. Amber strengthened the magic defense system of the entire castle because the withered rose sent him a detailed list of the city defense system of the Ryan Empire. There are many things worth learning from it, such as the effect of increasing the range of magic. It is simply good value for money. I would be sorry if I didn't do it.

The result was a miraculous effect today.

It's really worthy of being the Ryan Empire. Amber looked at his own results and gave a thumbs up to the Ryan Empire's magic technology in his heart.

Harvey felt very bad. As a consultant, he had suggested retreating more than once, but the lord didn't listen. Harvey was already a little dissatisfied. If he could survive today, he would definitely resign immediately.

But now, he has to fulfill his duties as a consultant.

Harvey rode his horse towards the holy warrior and shouted, "We can't hold on any longer. Do you have any way to deal with this lich? If not, we must withdraw now!"

The paladin asked in surprise, "With less than 20% casualties, you can't hold on?"

The paladin admitted that he had underestimated Ambersu, but were these small lords of the Alchemy City too weak?

Just 20%, and morale has collapsed?

Even if it's the weakest legion of the Ryan Empire, it won't feel anything if the casualties are less than 30%, right?

Harvey wanted to slap the holy warrior, but he could only hold back and said in the most efficient way: "How can an army composed of ordinary tenant farmers be compared with the army of the Ryan Empire armed with faith? This is the fact. Do you have any solution?"

The paladin felt that this experience was truly an eye-opener, but now was not the time to lament. He said to Harvey, "Of course, you can just enter the castle and find his phylactery. Since you can't hold on any longer, just retreat so as not to hinder us."

After the Holy Knight finished speaking, he led the Priest of Light to continue charging towards the main gate of the castle.

The anti-magic field was still in effect, so they could ignore all magic attacks and rush directly to the castle gate.

Harvey looked at the magical light all over the sky, hesitated for a moment, and then followed the paladin.

His intuition told him that if he ran away now, the result would not be very good. Perhaps charging forward with the paladin would be the right choice. He just hoped that his intuition would not be wrong.

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

Seeing Harvey charging along, the paladin praised him, saying, "Your courage is commendable. May the Holy Light protect you."

Harvey thought that even if he wanted to ask for divine protection, he, as a wizard apprentice, should go to the magic goddess Mystra. These religious lunatics really wanted to preach all the time.

Under the effect of the anti-magic force field, all the magic traps in front of the castle gate were rendered ineffective. Simple pits and crossbow traps had no effect on the fully armored paladin. He could just flick the sword in his hand a few times to knock all the crossbow arrows away.

The three rushed to the gate of the castle, and the only loss was two horses. But at this time, the anti-magic force field began to flicker and soon disappeared completely.

Harvey followed the two and arrived at the gate of the castle.

When Amber Xiu saw the three people launching a charge, he decisively hid in the castle. When he saw the holy knight appear in front of the castle door, he smiled and pressed the mechanism.

Just as the holy knight was about to break down the castle door, a series of crackling sounds were heard.

The three of them didn't know what was going on, but the paladin decided to move forward bravely. The holy light on the sword surged. The Holy Slash could not only kill the lich, but was also very useful for demolishing houses.

The sword light fell and chopped the heavy wooden door into pieces. The huge impact force even caused large cracks on the ground.

Harvey was just marveling at the power of the paladin when he suddenly said in confusion, "No, there are too many cracks."

Just as he finished speaking, the ground in front of the castle gate completely collapsed, revealing a bottomless pit.

The three of them were caught off guard and fell straight into the pit.

Amber Xiu watched the three people fall into the pit through the magic monitoring, then reached out and touched the living mercury beside him, and said to the newly born thing: "Little guy, it's time for you to show your ability. If you can win the holy warrior of the Ryan Empire, then I will make a lot of money from this business."
