Chapter 464 Why are you here?

The continent is in turmoil. Emperor Ryan used the power of time to save 20,000 people who were doomed to die, which made the confidence of the Ryan people soar unprecedentedly.

After organizing several counterattacks, although they failed to completely recapture their city, they finally won a beautiful victory. Ryan lost a legendary paladin and gained two orc legends.

Normally, Angel Watson would not be willing to use this tactic of sacrificing 800 of his own money to kill 1,000 enemies, but the situation is different now, forcing him to give it a try.

Although the battle was brutal, it eventually forced the orcs to abandon their plan to cross the river and attack.

The two sides re-entered into a stalemate, but because the Emerald River restricted the mobility of both sides, the orcs' magical operation of splitting and combining temporarily lost their advantage.

The well-equipped and high-spirited Ryans naturally regained the upper hand, but they were temporarily unable to recover the lost territory. While Anger Watson was fully committed to setting up the defense line, he began to work hard to investigate all the intelligence about the orcs.

He needs to find the key person who controls the entire orc army.

It is difficult to defeat this opponent on the battlefield, but there is more to the battlefield than just the front lines.

Angel Watson has even written to the emperor, hoping that an exception can be made and that the lich can be asked for help.

There is another prerequisite for the orcs to mobilize all their troops instantly, and that is that the other side can easily grasp all the movements on the battlefield.

How did they do it? It was very simple. They ordered a few airships that had no combat capability and were purely for reconnaissance, and put orc observers on board.

As long as the weather is not affected, nothing on the battlefield can escape the enemy's eyes.

Even though the Lion people knew that those small black dots were the orc reconnaissance planes, they had no way to deal with them.

It’s not that I can’t fly, but that I can’t catch up.

The flying technique's speed of thirty to forty kilometers per hour couldn't even catch up with the shadow of the airship.

Having experienced many simulated wars in synesthetic dreams, Angel Watson knew very well how terrifying the war weapons created by the lich were.

Even though they tried very hard to imitate, the technological gap in alchemy was too great.

Just the miniature jet engine that was quietly bought back at a high price, no one in the huge Ryan Empire could copy it. It's not that it can't be made at all, but the scrap rate is too high, and no one can guarantee that there will be no problems during the flight.

If something unexpected happens with this kind of thing, the result will be death.

Many Ryan people are not afraid of death, but they are not willing to sacrifice themselves so easily.

According to Angel Watson, they only need to purchase jet engines and do not need to touch other undead arms at all.

The lich used the undead to control the warships, and they, Ryan, could use humans, as long as they maintained the most basic safety. Anger Watson already had some knowledge of these weapons, and he could train an air force specifically to deal with the orcs.

However, the identity of the lich was too sensitive, and now the emperor had to rest. Would the empire approve this application at this time? But if they didn't look for the lich, they could only look for the dwarves. How could the dwarves sell these jet engines to Ryan? They hoped that the Ryans would lose again, and then they would directly raise an army for revenge.

Angel Watson didn't know that even if the Ryan Empire agreed to cooperate with Ambersu, he would not be able to find the lich for a while.

Amberxiu has just walked out of the underwater maze. He has passed the inner and outer whirlpools and endless thunder and has officially entered the interior of the Thunder Sea.

At the exit of the maze, there was a staircase that had been severely corroded. The two walked up the staircase, which was about to become a slope, all the way to the sea surface.

Directly in front of us is a huge arch made of rocks. I don’t know how many years it has been here, but there are not many signs of damage.

The air was filled with the smell of ozone, and Ariel couldn't help but cover her nose.

Although it smells bad, there is no problem breathing.

Amber was naturally not affected, but he was attracted by the huge rock arch in front of him because he seemed to have seen it somewhere in his memory.

Amberxiu walked quickly to the arch, reached out to touch the rough gray-black surface, and tried to pick off some of it with his fingers to check. He found that the material of the arch was so hard that not even a trace could be left.

Ariel walked to Amberxiu curiously and asked, "Master, did you find anything?"

Amber hesitated for a moment, then said, "I have seen this material elsewhere. It is made of corpses after special processing."

The material of this arch is very similar to that of the ancient civilization that Amber had seen under the desert.

They are all made from the corpses of unknown creatures that have been specially processed. Even Catherine's arrow could only leave a little mark on them, which shows how strong they are.

Amber Xiu never expected to meet him here.

Does that mean that the original Storm Arena was actually built by the lost civilization underground in the desert?

Amber Xiu had a vague guess that the ancient giants were followers of Talos, and they built a magnificent city and the Storm Arena for him. But for some unknown reason, this race died out.

Perhaps some special epidemic caused the genocide, or perhaps they encountered other more powerful races and were eliminated. Of course, the greater possibility is that they offended Talos and were punished and exterminated.

Later, the place where they lived was flooded by sea water, and after a while the sea turned into a desert, burying this civilization deep underground.

This is not impossible for the gods.

Why on earth had Talos brought himself here?

Are you just in the mood to watch a duel between mortals?

The thoughts of gods are always hard to figure out, especially those unreasonable gods like Talos. But it doesn't matter, Amberxiu just wants to capture those ancient heroes.

"Since this Storm Arena is related to the giant civilization, I guess the Heroic Spirits are also in the form of giants."

This giant heroic spirit is a good thing, especially the soul that has been wandering for so many years and has not dissipated yet. It must be very tough. If you handle it casually, it will become a top-level undead and have the possibility of entering the legendary level.

If he could pick up a few thousand such heroes, he could definitely form the most powerful undead army in the world, able to charge on the battlefield bathed in holy light. Ryan's Legion of Paladins would be nothing, and if they dared to leave the city, they would be smashed to pieces.

But Amber would be greedy if he asked for a few thousand. Two thousand would be enough, and he could accept this number.

After thinking about it, Amber opened his private space and invited out Arthur Lane, who had been idle.

Arthur Lane is still dressed in a full body mecha, with the artifact hourglass placed at the core. The entire mecha is an extension of the artifact, allowing him to move freely.

It's just that Arthur Ryan seems to be used to staying in one place. He usually just chats with the old Elf King through the magic mirror and learns about the current news, and he doesn't have any other hobbies.

Being invited out by Amber Xiu today, Arthur Ryan asked doubtfully: "Do you need me to help you deal with the Holy Knight again?"

If he had a choice, Arthur Ryan really didn't want to fight with these juniors. It felt like an adult bullying a child. The key was that the other party didn't hold back, so it would be very troublesome for Arthur Ryan to show mercy.

Amber shook his head and explained the current situation.

"Arthur, it's time for you to stretch your muscles. I want to recapture these giant spirits. It would be best if you could help me. Maybe after I have recaptured all these spirits, they can keep you company."

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

Hearing that they were not targeting his juniors, Arthur Lane immediately became interested.

He wasn't really a homebody, he just felt very unfamiliar with this world. Now he met a group of giant heroes who were older than him? Then he had to show the light and heat of young people, and he also wanted to loosen up his muscles.

"But I consumed a lot last time." Arthur Lane said a little embarrassedly.

Heroic Spirits are not good in any way, but the worst thing is that every action they take consumes all of their strength, and it is very difficult to replenish it.

After the last war, Amber Shuke never "charged" him.

"Don't worry, the emperor won't let hungry soldiers go to the battlefield. I understand this principle."

Amberxiu moved out a large pile of corpse materials, all of which were collected during the recent battles in the seabed. He converted them all into fragments of pseudo-souls for Arthur Lane to eat.

These things could have been sold for a lot of money, but now Amberxiu can't afford to waste them.

There are not only giant heroes here, but also thousands of Githyanki. Amber has just consumed the power of the Golden Throne and is at his weakest.

It's not safe to have only Ariel around, so naturally, Arthur Lane, the strongest fighting force, has to be brought out.

Ariel was watching Amberxiu's operation quietly, and thought that Arthur was just the name of this mecha, but as she listened, she began to feel something was wrong.

Ariel couldn't help but ask Amber: "Is this a paladin? Is it the Paladin Ryan you captured?"

Amber Xiu shook his head and said, "I dare not say he is a prisoner. This is Arthur Ryan, the heroic spirit of the legendary Holy King!"

"Which Holy King?" Ariel was stunned at first, but suddenly her beautiful eyes widened and she said in shock: "Arthur Lane? That Arthur Lane? That...that..."

It was the first time that Amber saw Ariel stuttering. She kept saying "that" for a long time but couldn't utter a complete sentence.

This is not surprising. Even though the Angry Tide Kingdom and the Ryan Empire are mortal enemies, and even though they were driven out of the continent by the Ryan people, this does not diminish their respect for Arthur Ryan.

Killing the dragon tyrant and liberating the world, this great achievement is enough to make Arthur Ryan an idol for everyone.

What's more, when Arthur Ryan died, the humans of the Kingdom of Wrath were still living on the continent, and the battle of faith had not yet begun. This hatred had nothing to do with the Holy King.

Arthur Lane was rather embarrassed, and that was why he didn't want to go out.

In his memory, he was just a "guard" who stole the dragon's artifact, and the subsequent achievements of killing the dragon and establishing the empire had nothing to do with him.

As a result, everyone who comes now admires him so much that he feels like he has stolen someone else's glory. What makes him even more frustrated is that this matter is too complicated for him to explain.

Arthur Ryan could only look at Amberxiu for help. Amberxiu was used to this kind of scene, and in a few words, Ariel understood the origin of the Holy King Heroic Spirit. But halfway through, Arthur Ryan unconsciously interrupted: "Yeah, I didn't expect to be hit by a ghost ship just after unsealing it."

After hearing this, Ariel frowned and started thinking.

After a moment, she said in surprise: "Hit by a ghost ship? Are you sealed in the Kingdom of Raging Tide?"

Arthur Lane replied: "Yes, but when I was sealed, it was still a deserted island with no people."

Amber Xiu really wanted to cover Arthur Lane's mouth. Why did this guy talk so much? Didn't he have enough video chats with the old Elf King? !

When Amberxiu pretended to be Mung Gray River, he found the sealed magical hourglass in the Kingdom of Angry Tide. Amberxiu tricked the people of the Kingdom of Angry Tide to retreat ten kilometers away, and then joined forces with Aige to suppress the spirit of Arthur Ryan.

Ariel saw it differently. She was fooled by Amber and believed that there was a divine weapon sealed in the Kingdom of Wrath of Tide that had great power over the undead. So the leader of the Silent Night Pirates personally went ashore and took the artifact away. It was because Monger Grey River was helpful to this powerful undead that the other party agreed to cooperate with the Kingdom of Wrath of Tide.

Ariel now understood, and said excitedly: "So it was the leader of the Silent Night Pirates who fought against you in that battle. I have always felt sorry for not participating in it personally... Wait, since it was the leader of the Silent Night Pirates who took away the Holy King's heroic spirit..."

Ariel turned her head and looked at Amber, then asked: "Master Ultraman, why is the last heroic spirit of His Majesty the Holy King in your hands?"
