Chapter 442 A World in Turbulence

Amber Xiu is a man who never forgets his original intention. No matter where he is or what he is busy with, his ultimate goal is just to make more money.

Now that the orcs and Ryan have started fighting, it would be a shame not to make some money from such an important event.

The last time Ryan went to war with the orcs, Amber was busy dealing with the priesthood of the Rose Spider Queen. This kind of big business was more important than making money from war, so she missed an opportunity.

By the time Amberxiu had some free time, the orcs had already been defeated by Ryan.

The timing is right now. The orcs have scored a goal and the two sides are back to being evenly matched. Amber's undead troops just happen to be in demand.

I think the orcs won't mind having an extra batch of cannon fodder to consume Ryan's holy light. If this group of orcs are unwilling, Amberxiu doesn't mind talking to Ryan. The undead are not only capable of attacking paladins, and killing orcs will definitely be more efficient.

But he needed a middleman.

Amber thought about it, but found that he didn't know anyone on the orc side.

This may not be very accurate. It should be said that all the orcs that Amber knew were dead.

At the beginning, Amberxiu only had hatred towards the orcs, and the work of revenge had been completed long ago, so he really didn't know many people there.

But it’s not a big problem, Amber Xiu has an extremely wide network of contacts.

Moreover, his network of contacts was so wide that Amber did not need to look for connections himself, Gustavo Flynn would come to him on his own initiative.

The dark-skinned alchemist's serious face appeared on the magic mirror. He said to Amber Xiu without any nonsense: "I have connections with the orcs. I want to sell your undead troops to the orcs. They are very generous now, and I can make a lot of money."

Amber Xiu immediately smiled and said, "Yes, I thought so too. I didn't expect that you have connections with orcs."

"Back then, the products of the Alchemy City were sold to all kingdoms, except for the Emerald Dream Forest. So, in a word, can we work overtime to produce the simulated souls recently?"

This is what Gustavo Fring is most worried about.

After obtaining the artifact gold coin, Gustavo Flynn conducted many experiments on transformation properties.

Finally, he came to the conclusion that the cost that Amber had boasted to him before didn't seem to be much of an exaggeration. This made Gustavo Flynn look at Amber differently.

This lich seemed to like money very much, but he was quite honest after reaching the cooperation. At least he didn't cheat him out of much money in terms of cost.

However, the gold coins of this artifact really burn money, and he can't hold on unless he earns it back quickly.

"I thought you would encourage the Dwarf King to place an order first." Amber said.

Gustavo Flynn had mentioned before that he wanted to go the dwarven route, hoping to make some money to offset the costs.

As a result, there was no news from the dwarves, but instead brought up the business with the orcs first, which surprised Amberxiu a little.

Gustavo Flynn said: "You can put aside the businesses that you can definitely grab, and you should seize the businesses that require competition, don't you think? In addition, the Dwarf King also needs more evidence to prove that your undead are really useful. After all, our enemy is Ryan."

Amber nodded, agreeing with this point of view.

It does sound unreliable for the undead to fight against the paladins, so it is normal for the Dwarf King to have doubts.

Amber Xiu asked: "Are you going to sell the small army to the orcs?"

"It's just one of them, and also our most profitable product. However, is the Undead used in the sea suitable for use on land?" Gustavo Flynn said a little worriedly. This is the first time the product is exported, and if there is a problem, it will have a huge impact on the brand.

"The effect of deploying the Trash Corps in the sea is very good, because the buoyancy of the sea water allows these undead to float in the sea water. But if it is used on land, it can only be deployed directly from the sky, and the effect will be worse. But don't worry, low cost is our advantage, and I can borrow an airship to launch the attack from high altitude..."

Amberxiu had already thought about the use of the Undead Army on land. Although the small army could not swim freely in the air, they had no problem calibrating themselves when falling, so as long as they were thrown down from a high altitude, the hit rate would still be very high.

But the effect may not be very good, because the Ryan people are very well equipped, far surpassing those underwater races who rely entirely on thick skin and flesh.

Humans on land have the advantage of making fire, so forging metals is naturally easier.

The creatures in the sea can only rely on scales as armor, or at most wear some shells on their bodies.

Therefore, the army of small fry either has to install metal arrows on their heads on a large scale, or they can only rely on the air undead that have been smashed to pieces to launch poisonous attacks.

The Lions may be able to use the power of holy light to purify this poison, but the reason why the trash army is called trash is not that they expect these undead to cause much damage. From the very beginning, these undead are consumables. As long as they can consume the holy light power of the Lions on a large scale, then this deal will not be a loss.

No matter how powerful those paladins and light priests are, their magic power is not infinite.

"The orcs are also quite capable. They were able to counterattack Lion, which shows that they are ready for a full-scale war. We are just people who sell mercenaries, not the real key to victory or defeat on the battlefield. It's enough for our products to be worth the customers' gold coins."

Gustavo Flynn agreed very much with Amberxiu's summary. This was what an alchemist should do. Once the goods were shipped, as long as there were no quality issues, it was up to the customer how to use them. Alchemists didn't care about that.

After discussing all the details, Gustavo Flynn was ready to set off for the orc mountains immediately, looking determined to win.

But before disconnecting the communication, Gustavo Flynn couldn't help but say one more sentence: "I thought you would refuse, or at least hesitate."

Amber Xiu said strangely: "Why? How could I not make money if there is money to be made?"

Gustavo Flynn said, "You wouldn't have agreed so readily in the past. You should have discovered that you weren't cruel or murderous before. You would rather capture people for ransom than save the world. Old friend, you've changed recently, becoming more like a lich."

Amber Xiu was stunned for a moment. This evaluation was really weird. What did he mean by more like a lich?

He is a lich.

However, Amber seemed to have sensed something.

After Mr. Fortune's death, what little humanity he had left dissipated quickly.

Whether he admits it or not, when he first transformed into a lich, he still retained many of the moral values ​​of a human being. He did not kill indiscriminately or cruelly, and he had a restraint different from other undead.

But now, Amberxiu is leading this war in the deep sea. Although it seems that he has no choice, Amberxiu knows in his heart that he is quickly approaching the cold-blooded and ruthless lich.

Soon, he will be like the Withered Rose, able to enslave other races without any psychological burden and create more wealth for himself.

Amber Xiu couldn't help but think, is this a good thing?

Putting aside all emotional factors and thinking purely rationally, there seems to be nothing wrong with being more like a lich, and it is inevitable.

The undead only have perception, and everything in the world is like a boring explanatory text that can hardly move the undead. The only thing that can make Amberxiu happy is to gain more wealth.

Without emotional stimulation, people will naturally become numb, which is why the dead lose their humanity.

This process is irreversible, and Amber will only sink into the desire for wealth and continue to fall into the abyss. For the lich, this way of survival is actually a torture.

Because the joyful mood cannot last too long, Amber will only become more and more thirsty for wealth, until one day all the wealth in the world is not enough to satisfy his desire.

At that time, it would be eternal torture.

However, Amber Xiu quickly threw away these meaningless emotions and said to himself: "Who cares? It will take many years. Now I should just enjoy my life of wealth."

Amberxiu hummed a little tune and entered his own private space, where he began to work hard to create a virtual soul.

As time passed, Amber received good news one after another.

As the first batch of small fry were delivered to the Orc Legion, they played a miraculous role when they raided the city of Ryan at night.

This battle is a classic. The orcs wanted to attack the town of Lion at night, but the news leaked out. The people of Lion set an ambush on the road in advance, and when the orc army appeared, the people of Lion launched a counterattack.

The orcs were in chaos for a moment and retreated immediately.

When the Lions saw that the main force of the orcs was about to escape, they immediately chose to chase them.

But this time, the Lions suffered heavy losses, because they underestimated the enemy and their team was deformed, unable to form an effective legion defense effect. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the commander of the orcs ordered the Black Tide in the sky to launch a high-altitude bombing attack.

In the dark night, those insignificant undead legions descended from the sky like a rain of iron.

At the beginning, the Ryan people had not decided what they had. It was just bows and arrows. It was strange that the armor with protective armor could block them.

This was a group of small fry equipped with armor-piercing arrows. The high speed of their fall and the effect of automatic aiming caused astonishingly high damage.

Only those paladins wearing heavy armor could block these attacks, but the orc commander had known this for a long time, so he would rather ignore these paladins and target Ryan's auxiliary army corps. The result was a remarkable victory, and thousands of people were killed in the first airdrop.

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

Then, the air undead contained in the Type 1 Trash were released, and the deadly poison created a Jedi. All the Ryan people who entered it would be poisoned within a few seconds, and then begin to twitch and die.

Because the attack speed was too fast, many priests of light did not have time to cast holy light to dispel the dark magic, and they fell to the ground and died convulsing.

In the darkness, this highly toxic area was more effective. Many Ryan people couldn't see the situation clearly and just rushed in, resulting in more deaths.

It took a full ten minutes before the Ryan people discovered what the problem was and began to use holy light to dispel it.

But these short ten minutes had already caused heavy losses to the Lion people, and at this time the orcs struck back, surrounded them from all directions, and trapped the Lion people's Paladin Legion.

It turned out that from the very beginning, the information about the orcs' night attack was deliberately leaked. Their real target was not the town at all, but the main force of the Lion people.

After so many years of fighting with the orcs, this was the first time that the Lions suffered a complete tactical defeat. The orcs before definitely didn't have the brains to do this.

What is even more terrifying is not this tactical idea, but the fact that the orcs, who have only been howling and rushing forward, can actually execute tactics. This is not something as simple as saying it.

It is impossible to tell all the soldiers the full battle plan, so when they pretend to run away at the beginning, many orcs will think they have really lost. The formation will be disrupted and the morale of the people will be scattered.

It's not that elite troops can't fake a defeat, because once they retreat, they will often turn into a real defeat.

When did the orcs have such an elite force that obeyed orders? This was totally out of character for them.

But that was the fact. The people of Ryan could only fight bloody battles, leaving behind the lives of thousands of holy knights, and barely break out.

This was also thanks to the almost morale-locking performance of the holy knights. Everyone was fearless and brave, and used the Holy Slash to cut a path.

But after this battle, the people of Lion also realized how powerful the orcs were, and had to withdraw their forces to large cities and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

Amberxiu naturally made a lot of money. The orcs were very satisfied with the airdrop service provided by Amberxiu, and Amberxiu also knew the name of the orc commander - Urbano Pacheco, a very young orc who was only twenty years old this year, and he was not a legendary strongman.

This was almost impossible within the orcs. Who would accept the command of a young orc with little combat power? An Boxiu was also very curious about how this orc had obtained the position of commander. You know, the first task for the orcs to gain control of the military power was to defeat the previous commander in a duel.

But the orcs' secrets obviously would not be told to Amberxiu so easily. Amberxiu could only guess that this was related to the orc god Gruumsh. It seemed that this Ubano Pacheco should also be a mortal blessed by the gods.

However, Amberxiu couldn't guess what the specific effect of this blessing would be.

It can't be that he was given a strong command ability? The orc god didn't seem to be very good at commanding. Gruumsh was more like a brave warrior. He once tried to duel with the elf god Corellon... and was shot in one eye.

This is already impressive. Corellon is so powerful. Gruumsh challenged Corellon in his prime. The fact that only one eye was blinded by Corellon's bow and arrow shows that this orc god is worthy of his status as a powerful god.

The orcs won the victory, and were not in a hurry to continue the attack. Instead, they tried to establish a stable base outside the mountains, using a steady and cautious tactic, just like when Ryan attacked the desert.

The people of Ryan felt extremely aggrieved. They had never suffered such humiliation before.

In the end, they had to transfer Angel Watson to the battlefield here.

At this moment, Ryan, who was about to split, put aside the conflicts between each other. Just as Amberxiu had said before, the external force now would only make Ryan restore unity from the edge of division, and it would not be possible to break it apart.

Angel Watson did not disappoint and demonstrated the art of war on the battlefield, winning three consecutive battles and bringing down an orc legend.

Angel Watson had seen Ambershu's Undead Army and had commanded it personally, which prevented the orcs from launching "surprise attacks". With the Lions prepared, it was difficult for the small army to achieve effective results.

When the orcs were about to be driven back, Urbano Pacheco launched a very outrageous roundabout sneak attack. No one knew how this young orc commanded the orcs to bypass the encirclement of the Lion people like a fine net, and actually attacked Angel Watson's rear. Not only did they burn most of the food and supplies, they also captured many Lion civilians, forcing Angel Watson to give up the orc castle that was about to be captured.

Urbano Pacheco successfully defended the castle he built, but the orcs suffered heavy losses, and Ryan failed to achieve the strategic goal of driving the orcs back to the mountains. Everyone suffered losses, but everyone chose to continue fighting.

When the two sides were in a stalemate, Amberxiu received a lot of good news.

In the battle for the volcanic sea area, Aige won battle after battle, and the two pieces of territory at the beginning have now become double digits. The advantage of the undead army in the sea is too great. Without the restraint of holy light, this is the strongest army.

Ai Ge was also smart. While her opponent had not yet figured out a way to crack the problem, she did not think about operating more areas, but instead tried to eliminate the number of enemies first.

And the main target is the Isi manta ray. As the corpses of the Isi manta ray are used for exchange time and time again, a large number of criminals are also sent from the mermaid tribe.

If you don’t count, you won’t know that there are so many mermaids who have committed the crime of “indulgence”. Now, the number of mermaids willing to accept Ai Ge’s rule has exceeded ten thousand.

This number is enough to establish a mermaid tribe of considerable size.

Ai Ge temporarily stopped the war mode and began to try to collect the mermaids' faith.

This is a very difficult task for Aige because she is still just a mortal.

Even if you are a legend, you have not obtained the priesthood and cannot use the power of faith directly. You can only spend time and patience to integrate the power of faith into your body bit by bit. This process will be very slow.

But things can't always go so smoothly. The goddess of fate always likes to give you a few pieces of candy and then kick you.

Just after Ambershu gained absolute advantage, the three races of Kou Tao Murlocs, Isi Rays and Shark Hua Murlocs chose to temporarily unite.

This time, it's not a simple loose alliance.

Instead, the gods behind the three races chose to cooperate, and ordered their believers through oracles to work together to deal with Ambershu, the new force.

In order to decide the ownership of the volcanic sea as soon as possible and to minimize unnecessary casualties, the gods of the three tribes invited Aige to participate in a war game.

If Ai Ge loses, she will immediately lead all her subordinates to leave the volcanic sea area. If she wins, these three gods are willing to divide up part of their power so that Ai Ge can save the process of accumulating faith and be directly promoted to a god.

But when Amber Xiu saw the specific invitation letter, he said to Ai Ge: "Those three gods really think we are stupid! They are not going to play any war games, they want to wait for you to be promoted to god and then tear you into pieces and swallow you up!"
