Chapter 479: New Era, Old Grudges

Deep in the underground, hundreds of ferocious zombies are still digging sand and stones frantically.

Their fangs and claws were constantly broken due to excessive force, but they continued to regenerate under the cover of the huge dark magic.

With these groups of crazy and tireless miners, the rubble and mud were quickly cleared away, revealing a huge passage.

The elegant ghoul in formal attire walked past his servants and went all the way to the depths of the passage.

A huge arch appeared at the end of the passage. It was a door of flesh and blood that was stronger than steel.

The zombie Yugashi stretched out his hand and knocked. The slight movement made a huge noise. The vibration was transmitted repeatedly underground, causing countless sand and rocks above to fall.

Only when the passage was mostly buried again did Yougasi sigh and say, "Are you still asleep? How good is your sleep quality, old friend!"

There was still no response from inside the gate. Yugashi sighed and said helplessly, "I really don't want anyone to see me like this."

The next second, Yugasi's body swelled up as if inflated, and the gentleman's suit on his body was completely torn apart. Those huge muscles seemed to have turned into tumors, and each one had its own heart beating wildly.

In this form, Yugashi wields his claws.

Scarlet light attached to the claws. The members of the Mourning Poets Society were powerless to the body of the Rose Spider Queen, and it was difficult for them to even cause damage, but Yugashi could disembowel the body and prevent the Rose Spider Queen from automatically regenerating.

Now, when faced with flesh and blood that is harder than steel, Yugas can still tear it into large chunks and stuff it into his mouth.

"Tsk, it's so disgusting!"

Yugasi complained.

These specially processed flesh and blood are very hard and chewy, making them very good food for zombies. However, they can only provide energy and the taste is not very good. It is like chewing tasteless bacon. It is just greasy and disgusting.

But ghouls are not picky eaters, and this form consumes a lot of energy, so Yugas must eat something to replenish his energy.

After a while, Yugassi dug a big hole in the gate.

The legendary ghoul gathered his strength and returned to his skinny appearance. His dress was already in tatters, but he still tidied it up a little before walking into the gate.

After entering the door, Yugashi shouted to the darkness: "Old man! How long are you going to sleep? Arthur Ryan has been resurrected, don't you want to see your old comrades?!"

In the darkness, two red lights lit up and a violent earthquake that shook the earth was heard.

Yugashi narrowed his eyes and transformed into a tumorous ghoul again, blocking his body with his claws.

Just as he took a stance, a huge fist slammed in front of him. The fist alone was bigger than Yugasi's body.

The huge force pushed Yugasi more than ten meters away and plowed several scratches on the solid ground.

Yugasi blocked the punch, then said with a smile: "Old man, I haven't seen you for many years, and you are still so irritable when you wake up?!"

The giant fist was retracted, and the two red lights in the darkness became more conspicuous. A deep voice came: "Arthur Lane? He is dead!"

Yugashi regained his human form and brushed off the dust on his body.

"Old man, you have been asleep for too long. Arthur Lane has indeed been resurrected. Do you want me to tell you what happened recently?"

The red light in the darkness receded a lot, and a deep voice came: "Recently, which year do you mean?"

Yugas said: "Then let's start from the last thousand years."

…

In the darkness, two old antiques who had lived for who knows how many years were chatting about major events in the past thousand years. One was talking and the other was listening. After an unknown amount of time, the topic finally came to the present.

"This lich is very interesting. Arthur Ryan was dug out by him. I don't know the specific details yet, but I can be sure that it is the real thing."

The shadow in the darkness was silent for a long time, then slowly said: "I will let him die again! I will kill him with my own hands!"

"I thought you and he were comrades-in-arms?"

"Yes, that's why I want to kill him."

"reason?"

"You don't need to know."

"That's great. I just need your help. Old man, you should still remember why the Mourning Poetry Society was founded, right?"

"Well...it has nothing to do with me though."

Yugashi let out a sharp laugh.

"I know. That's why we can be friends. Aige has already embarked on another path. She won't be my competitor. Gareth has been restrained and has lost his qualifications. I originally had no rivals in the Mourning Poetry Society, but this lich... the president seems to be very optimistic about him."

"I'm not interested. Why are you telling me this? Members of the Mourning Poets Society are not allowed to kill each other. Even if you want to eliminate your competitors, what can you do? Do you dare to violate the rules of the Mourning Poets Society?!"

Yugasi tapped his knees lightly with his nails and said calmly and firmly, "If necessary, I certainly dare. But in the end, it is our president who decides the outcome. If I violate the rules he sets, I will lose. So, I will use other methods to solve it."

The giant in the dark was silent for a moment, then said, "Yugasi, have you ever thought about this? You are the first member to join the Mourning Poetry Society after the president and vice president, but the president has been recruiting new members over the years instead of giving the final reward directly to you. Perhaps it's because you don't meet the qualifications in the first place."

“It’s possible.” Yugasi’s calmness surprised the giant in the darkness, and the elegant ghoul continued, “But the president didn’t announce my failure, so I still have a chance. And as long as I have a chance, I won’t give up. Those young people don’t know the real secret of the Mourning Poets Society. They don’t even know when they lost the qualification to participate in this competition, and this is exactly my advantage.”

The dark giant was silent again, then sighed.

"I don't understand your idea, but just tell me, what do you want me to do? As long as it does not violate the rules of the Mourning Poetry Society, I can help you."

Yugasi said happily: "I know you are reliable. I will certainly not let you break the rules. I just want you to seriously help the newcomer overcome the difficulties in front of him. I hope that this lich can be promoted to a god as soon as possible, and then he will lose the qualification to compete with me."

"How far is he from becoming a god?"

"I don't know. He's very strange. Logically, as a mortal who provoked the God War and deceived many gods, he should have been recognized by Io long ago. But he has not responded. I guess the president prevented his promotion, or there are other reasons. But it doesn't matter. Let him continue to be arrogant. Io will not sit idly by and watch the gods interfere with mortals at will, nor will it allow a mortal to tease the gods at will. Becoming a god, or being destroyed, this is his final fate."

"Okay, I'll help him, but I have to kill Arthur Lane."

"You decide for yourself. I don't doubt your determination, I only doubt your ability. You were no match for Arthur Ryan when you were alive. Now that you have become an undead, the Holy Light has a stronger restraining effect on you. Can you withstand Arthur Ryan's Holy Slash?"

"I don't know, but Arthur Lane must die!"

"Then don't be impulsive. Wait until you are absolutely sure. Now, please stretch your muscles and see this new world, old man."

When Yugasi walked out of the underground ruins, a five-meter-tall monster appeared behind him.

If Amber was here, he would recognize the other party at a glance. Isn't this the giant puppet he saw in the Storm Arena?

Compared with the two, this giant is just bigger and looks stronger.

Bathed in the sun, the dark giant raised his hands to shield himself from the scorching sun. Although the sun had little effect on him, it still made him feel uncomfortable.

Looking at the golden sea of ​​sand in front of him, the dark giant couldn't help but roar.

The huge sound waves caused the sand and dust to fly everywhere, as if a small sandstorm had been set off.

After venting for a while, the dark giant asked Yugashi: "Now, where to go?"

Yugashi pointed forward and said, "I told you to stretch your muscles, so of course we should hunt first. Old man, have you ever eaten the meat of a paladin? With your size, you can eat one in one bite."

"Paladin... I forgot."

"Then eat more and you'll remember it soon."

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

A bloody storm rolled up, and the two powerful undead disappeared, and the bloody storm flew towards the nearest Ryan city.

Two hours later, this small town of thousands of people was breached, and dark magic enveloped the entire city. By the time the reinforcements of the Ryan people arrived, the city had become ruins.

Thousands of residents disappeared, leaving no bodies behind except bloodstains on the ground.

This incident alarmed the entire Ryan, who thought that the Dwarf Kingdom had launched a counterattack. The already tense situation in Ryan worsened again.

Ryan's need for war weapons is even greater.

Amber Xiu received urging from Angel Watson every day, hoping that he could complete the transaction as soon as possible.

Amberxiu did not expect that the dwarves would suddenly cause trouble, so he went to the dwarves overnight to inquire about the news. However, he found out that it was not the dwarves who did it, and the border town of Ryan in the desert was not destroyed by the dwarves at all.

In the end, Amber Xiu could only sigh that the Ryan people had so many enemies.

However, selling the airship is certainly not impossible. Amberxiu does not want to sell the most powerful weapon of war to this little emperor who is suspected to be a dragon tyrant.

In the end, Amberxiu only sold a few jet backpacks, which had the same effect. He let Ryan's paladins carry jet backpacks and magic mirrors and fly in the sky, and they could also complete battlefield reconnaissance tasks.

But its efficiency is definitely not as good as that of an airship. The endurance of an airship is much longer than that of a jet pack, and it can fly for several hours without landing.

The jetpack's maximum flight time is only half an hour, after which it must land to refill its magic power.

Jet backpacks are cheap and are individual equipment. The operating requirements are simpler than airships, and can help Ryan out of his immediate situation.

After regaining the information advantage, the threat posed by the orcs to Ryan was greatly reduced, and there was even a feeling of being evenly matched in several frictions.

The orcs can micro-manage, but they only have one excellent commander, while Lion has a large number of front-line commanders who are better than the orcs.

If one person cannot accurately control tens of thousands of troops, then change it to two hundred.

Angel Watson played to Ryan's strengths, breaking the whole into small pieces, monitoring the entire situation through the magic mirror in the air, and then relying on the subordinate officers at the front line to respond on the spot. The effect was surprisingly good, repelling the orcs' tentative attacks time and time again.

The battlefield between the orcs and Llane finally entered the state of "fighting a mess". Both sides knew each other well and knew that sending troops would be of no benefit, but they were forced to take action.

War is no longer a game of tactics and courage, but has become a simple tug-of-war and attrition, depending on who can hold on first.

This kind of war of attrition is most likely to undermine morale and spirit. After a month, both sides chose to temporarily cease fire.

There was no mutual declaration, but the orcs no longer sent troops to try to cross the river, and Llane no longer sent warships to fire at the orc docks from a distance.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and everyone needs a break.

Perhaps when the river freezes over, the two sides will have another battle.

At this time, Amber finally got a reply. The orc commander finally took time out to meet him. At Amber's request, the orc commander would meet with Amber in the capital of the orc kingdom.

The terrain of the Orc Kingdom is composed of various undulating mountains. The capital is the same, a city built on a mountain. The population is not too large, but it is one of the most magnificent cities.

Half of the palace complex built on the mountain is hidden in the clouds, and countless thunder and lightning strike these palaces all the time. These thunders will become the source of magic power for the entire orc capital, providing various conveniences for the orcs.

This was not the first time that Amber Xiu came here, but he still admired the designer's idea. This not only solved the problem of thunder, but also provided the city with an endless supply of magic power. It was said that this was a technology from a lost magic civilization. The magic pipelines were laid throughout the city, turning the capital into a huge magic circle.

It’s a pity that the orcs’ magic technology is not well developed. The magic power converted from lightning is only used for water supply and heating. The rest is converted into magic power for city defense.

Amberxiu felt that this was a complete waste. This was already the core area of ​​the Orc Kingdom. If the enemy reached here, there would be no need to attack at all. The orcs would collapse automatically after just a few years of siege.

Therefore, Amberxiu felt that there was no need to build magical defenses for war here. If the magic power was used to develop people's livelihood, the Orc King's Capital would probably become the richest city on the continent.

"What a pity! These orcs don't understand economics at all."

Amberxiu sighed as he entered the royal capital under the guidance of a group of orc soldiers.

The gleaming swords and spears were raised high, forming a direction marker for Amber's path. This was considered the highest welcome etiquette of the orcs. As long as the warrior could walk through this gleaming passage without changing his expression, he would be respected by the orcs.

It was too easy for Amberxiu to remain calm. If the undead didn't want to show any expression, they would have no expression at all. He also didn't think that any orc would use the cup as a signal to let these orc soldiers hack him to death with their swords.

Therefore, Amberxiu might be the fastest guest ever to walk through this corridor. When he arrived at the One-Eyed Inn at the end of his journey, all the orcs looked at him with admiration.

This lich is really powerful. Every step he takes is so steady. His calmness is definitely not fake.

Amber was about to ask about the meeting place with the orc commander, but suddenly she felt something strange.

Amberxiu quietly took out a gem from his private space. It was emitting a faint red light, and the red light turned into an arrow pointing at the door of the hotel.

The telepathic gem responded at this time? The orc soldier in charge of leading the way said to Amber respectfully: "Master Ultraman, General Pacheco is waiting for you on the third floor."

Amber Xiu remained calm on the surface, but couldn't help cursing in his heart.

Are these orcs crazy? They chose a mind flayer as their commander?!
