Chapter 433 A Greater Empire
Ange Watson opened his eyes and climbed out of bed.
He rubbed his temples, feeling a little tired. Although synesthesia dreams are also sleep, and the energy consumption when thinking is much less than when awake, it can't withstand the high-intensity military exercises.
It was like a long dream, which seriously affected Angel Watson's normal rest.
But as a holy warrior, he could still hold on. He just needed to take a longer nap during the day.
But after he got up from the bed, a concerned voice came from beside him: "Ang, are you okay?"
Ange Watson quickly got up from the bed and knelt in front of the man: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am just a little tired."
The person who had been waiting beside Angel Watson was the current Emperor of Ryan, Price Ryan.
Angel Watson is not with his brothers now. Synesthesia dreams can ignore distance when entering dreams, but Angel Watson is not in the imperial capital either. Instead, he is in the small border town where he originally lived.
Before, Angel Watson communicated with his brothers through the magic mirror given to him by Allen. The eldest brother took the initiative to find his younger brother and had a "heart-to-heart" communication, and then was "persuaded" by Allen.
Angel Watson expressed his spiritual support for their actions and his willingness to provide help at critical moments.
Alan happily gave him a magic mirror so that he could communicate at any time.
However, after Angel Watson received the magic mirror, he secretly reported to the imperial capital and became the emperor's confidant.
The emperor knew all about the subsequent synesthesia dream military exercises and Amber's various movements, but it was the first time that he left the emperor secretly and came to Angel Watson's side.
Unfortunately, when the emperor arrived, Angel Watson was about to fall asleep.
The young emperor politely asked Angel Watson to complete the agreed military exercise first so as not to let the lich notice anything. He then waited by Angel Watson's bed, patiently waiting for him to wake up.
Price Lane looked at Ange Watson who was kneeling on the ground and said slowly, "There is no need for these boring formalities. I am not here to show off the emperor's majesty, but there are some things that need to be discussed in person."
Angel Watson stood up slowly, still respectful.
"I am always at your command."
Price Lane waved him to sit down, and then said kindly: "There is really no need for this, Ange. After you told me about the magic mirror, I knew your loyalty to the empire. The empire is now in danger, and it does not need these cumbersome and useless etiquette, but loyal and capable people like you.
"I came here today to confirm a few things with you. Was that lich really planning to occupy this sea area and assist his undead friend in becoming a god?"
Anger Watson nodded and said, "Your Majesty, that is exactly what the lich said. He has never concealed his goal from the beginning."
Price Ryan thought for a moment and said, "But this doesn't fit the lich's style. Isn't he afraid of leaking out such a serious matter?"
Now, everyone has heard the name of the lich, and shocked by his many feats, many people have begun to dig deep into Amber's past.
The Ryan Empire is no exception, as Amber is the number one undead on their wanted list.
As soon as the investigation began, many of Amber's past events were exposed. Even though he had used many aliases, people still found clues.
The little emperor has now confirmed several aliases that Amberxiu has used, and all of these names are well-known. The lich's habit is not to change the pseudonym easily unless it is used to the extreme.
And from these past events, it can be seen that this lich has always acted cautiously and has a strong sense of crisis.
Would someone with this kind of personality tell everyone about such an important plan?
It was fine that the Unholy Hymn was exiled, but why did the Lions and the elves keep it a secret for him? In other words, after the lich had spoken out about this plan, he had never thought of hiding it, and he didn't even care if others spread it.
Price Lane pondered and said, "If he is just overconfident and thinks his plan will succeed, then it's fine. But if he spread this information intentionally, then there may be a problem."
Anger Watson nodded and said, "Showing weakness to the enemy, or exposing the center of the army to attract the enemy's attack, is a common tactic. However, from the military exercises in the past few days, I have not found out what his real plan is. I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I am incompetent and cannot help you with your worries."
Price Ryan waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. If you hadn't told me about the magic mirror, I wouldn't have known that the lich was so powerful. I'm actually worried about you. Your brothers and father are smart people, and they may not be able to keep it a secret for long. If your report is discovered by them, Ange, have you thought about the consequences? Can you accept their anger?"
Angel Watson said confidently: "Your Majesty, rest assured. I have already made preparations for this matter. Moreover, I reported this information to them and they approved it."
Price Lane was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and said to Angel Watson: "Are you a double agent?"
Angel Watson said quickly, "Your Majesty, my loyalty to you is proven by the Holy Light. I am definitely not a double agent. I just lied to Allen and said that I wanted to sneak into the imperial capital as an undercover agent. Therefore, Allen knew all the intelligence I reported, but Allen and my father don't know the details of what I said and what I didn't say."
"And how much have you kept from me?" Price Lane asked.
The little emperor looked into Angel Watson's eyes, as if trying to see through his true heart.
Anger Watson said firmly: "Without reservation, Your Majesty, my loyalty to the Empire will not be flawed in the slightest."
Price Ryan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I believe you. This is our Ryan tradition. We never doubt anyone with malice. Arthur Ryan was like this back then, so he always had companions around him that he could trust with his life, whether they were orcs or tieflings, humans or undead, and this is exactly what I need to learn."
Anger Watson looked at the little emperor with some doubt. It was true, but calling the Holy King by his name? That seemed a bit disrespectful.
However, that was the royal family's own business. Anger Watson quickly forgot about this detail and asked the emperor, "Your Majesty, the lich's offensive will begin soon. If my estimate is correct, his chances of winning in this sea battle will be extremely high. Are we just going to watch him achieve his goal?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Price Lane asked, "Oh, it seems that you think highly of him. There are so many races in the deep sea. How do you judge that he can win?"
"The reason is very simple. The power he controls is too strong. Not to mention the powerful undead of the Mourning Poets Society, the undead army he created alone is the nemesis of all sea creatures. I have never seen such special undead. It seems that they were born for war. I can say that he doesn't even need other undead troops. The huge number of Type 1 trash is enough to sweep across this sea area."
During the exercises, Angel Watson tried to use various marine races to deal with the attacks of the undead, but no matter how hard he tried, he often failed and his victories were very few and far between.
There is only one reason, and that is that the undead type 1 is too scary.
A small torpedo the size of a finger is difficult to detect when it is swimming normally, but it has its own aiming and powerful impact when it accelerates to charge. Even if it misses, it can release poison and kill all living things in a large area.
What was even more terrifying was the number. In the exercises, Ambersu always set the number of Type 1 minnows to over ten thousand, saying that this was to allow them to adapt to war in advance, as if these undead were not worth anything at all.
If Amber could really mass-produce this kind of undead like he produced arrows, what other races in the sea could resist it? Not to mention the other two new types of undead soldiers that looked extremely difficult to deal with. Anger Watson thought about it for several days but couldn't think of any way to restrain them. There was no doubt that the other sea races were doomed to lose.
Price Ryan asked again: "If these new undead are so powerful, if this lich wants to attack Ryan, do you have any way to deal with it?"
When Anger Watson heard this, he blurted out, "Then he is doomed to lose, Your Majesty. In the sea, there are too few individuals who can use the power of Holy Light, so they can't restrain the power of the undead. But it's different on land. These weak undead can be wiped out in large numbers with just a single Holy Light spell, and the poison they carry will be purified by the power of Holy Light, so even a surprise attack will hardly pose a threat."
This is restraint. Even if Ambersu prepares to throw tens of millions of Type 1 small fry at Ryan's city, it may kill a lot of people, but the impact of the undead poison will not be too great.
Holy light is very effective in purifying dark magic, and any light priest can do the job.
Not to mention that every city in Ryan has accumulated a huge amount of faith. Once these forces are released, they will form a holy light barrier covering the entire city. The weak undead of Amber were evaporated as soon as they approached.
At that time, the Withered Rose used the passage in the Underdark to raid the Lion's capital. Even though it lured away most of Lion's troops, it still failed to capture the capital when it was at its weakest. This was because the Holy Light was too restrained against the Undead.
Price Ryan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. Our great cause cannot be ruined by a lich. Ange, continue to pay attention to your brother. Alan is also an outstanding talent of our Ryan. I really don't want to meet him on the battlefield. We should join forces to create an empire more perfect than Saint King Arthur.
"When the Holy King supported other races to establish kingdoms, it seemed that the other races were grateful, but in fact, establishing an independent nation was the beginning of mutual hatred. Human greed will never disappear, and the friendship between countries will be eroded by time. In the end, only a simple struggle for interests will remain."
Price Ryan stood up, clenched his fists and said, "I want to create a more perfect empire, where all races and all living things will be unified. From now on, we will no longer have any conflicts, and there will no longer be life-and-death wars. I want to complete the great cause that Arthur Ryan failed to complete, and walk a path of holy light that is even farther than his!"
Ange Watson responded excitedly: "Your Majesty, I will follow you until death!"
