Chapter 73 Must be a traitor

The most important thing for a lich is the life box, so every lich will try every means to hide his life box.

Some would choose to bury it deep underground, some would choose to build a perfect magical defense chamber, and some would be paranoid and carry the phylactery with them.

Amber chose to take them all.

He built a secret room in the castle to hold the phylactery, and dug a deep pit underneath the room to hide another phylactery. He also carried a phylactery with him all year round, and hid several phylacteries wherever he went.

Give one to Gareth, one to Withered Rose, one to the student, one to the servant...it's better to have one than to have less.

As for which one is the real one, haha, let’s keep it secret for now. Anyway, no life box is completely useless.

After finishing all these, Amber went to the cell and dragged out all the holy warriors. He tied them up with chains one by one, sealed them with magic, packed them into coffins, and then transported them out of the castle.

The airship from the Alchemy City had already been waiting here, and my old friend Gustavo Flynn had been waiting outside for a long time.

Amber changed into a human form and gave Gustavo Flynn a bright smile: "Old friend, it seems that you are quite anxious."

"The people from the Ryan Empire have arrived. If you don't send them over, I will treat them to a meal. If you deal with it quickly, I can save some time to go back and do experiments."

Gustavo Fring's expression was still as serious as ever. His dark skin and terrifying eyes made him look even scarier than the lich Ambershroud.

"Oh, you came so quickly, who is this important person?" Amber asked.

"Haha, he's also your old friend, the Supreme Judge of the Ryan Empire, James Watson."

The smile on Amberxiu's face suddenly disappeared. If there was any emotion left in his heart after he was reincarnated as a lich, hatred towards James Watson was one of them, and it accounted for a considerable proportion.

"It's such a pity that we can't let this old man carry his son's coffin for a state funeral." Amber Xiu said gritting his teeth.

Gustavo Flynn then smiled. He was happy to make Amber angry.

This damned lich not only rejected the president's invitation, but now he has also caused him to be ridiculed. Gustavo Flynn did not think that his alchemy level was worse than Amber's, it was just that the two of them were researching in different directions, and his research was not of much help to this plan.

Things that were not related to his profession were actually used to mock his lack of wisdom, which made Gustavo Flynn want to dismantle Amber's life box right away.

But don't worry, you will get what you want soon.

Thinking of this, Gustavo Flynn couldn't wait to say to Amber Xiu: "Let's get on the airship. I hope you can be prepared. The use of the wishing machine is a bit complicated. We still need several hours of practice."

"Is it so troublesome? I thought I could just make a wish to the machine and it would be done." said Amber Xiu.

"How can it be so simple? This is a great machine that we have spent countless efforts to create. If we want everyone to be able to make a wish, we naturally need a more complicated process. You must remember the precautions carefully. Otherwise, if there are any problems, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Amber looked at Gustavo Flynn's face and couldn't see any flaws in it.

This old guy acted just like the real thing.

If Amberxiu hadn't had friends to help him get the news and debunk their false predictions, he might have really rushed in.

And now, Amber Henriques and Gustavo Flynn, two veteran actors who are over a thousand years old in total, are competing with each other in acting skills. It's a pity that there are no film critics standing by and shouting 666.

Amberxiu took the captives on board the airship, and as soon as he entered the cabin, he found himself trapped in a space that was blocked by teleportation magic.

Gustavo Flynn saw the change in Amber's expression and explained, "This is the latest model, to prevent others from using teleportation magic to board the ship."

Haha, I don't believe you, who would play boarding battle in an air battle? When attacking airships, they just use magic cannons to bombard them.

Perhaps he was really anxious, Gustavo Flynn didn't care whether Amberxiu believed it or not, and directly drove the airship at the speed of a monk, rushing all the way at lightning speed, and returned to the Alchemy City in the shortest time.

Shortly after the airship left, a team of fully armed holy warriors appeared outside Amber's castle.

The Knights of Judgment still came this time, but their number had increased several times.

Moreover, the person in charge of leading the team is the supreme referee James Watson.

When the Alchemy City talked to Ambersu, it said that returning the Holy Knight would be considered a favor, but when it talked to the Ryan Empire, this favor also included the Ambersu Castle.

The City of Alchemy was responsible for bringing Amber out of the castle. While the legendary lich was not in his own wizard tower, the Lion Empire took action personally to completely destroy this evil place.

That's part of the deal.

James Watson stood in front of Amber's castle and gave an order with a cold face: "Destroy the evil in front of you and purify all the filthy undead."

The holy warriors responded in unison, raised their swords high, and the holy light merged into one.

When these holy warriors rode their celestial horses towards the castle, the castle's automatic defense system was automatically activated, and dark erosion energy continued to fall like rain from the sky.

But the necromancy that is deadly to ordinary people becomes a breeze with the various defenses of the paladin, and has no effect at all.

This is the terrifying thing about the Ryan Empire. The effects of their divine magic are particularly suitable for large-scale legion operations. The larger the number of people, the stronger the combat effectiveness.

The skeleton puppets outside the castle did not pose any threat as they were purified by the power of holy light before they got close.

They advanced like a hot knife through butter. The castle gate was broken down, the trap at the door was detected in advance, and it was completely filled up with a rock-making spell... Without anyone to control it, these defense facilities could only operate mechanically, and their effectiveness was greatly reduced.

The holy warriors were unstoppable and completed the task in less than ten minutes.

The paladin who came to report said respectfully to James Watson: "Lord Supreme Judge, we have completely captured the castle, but... there are some casualties."

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

When it comes to the last sentence, the holy warrior feels a little embarrassed.

James Watson also frowned and asked, "Casualties? It's just a magic castle without a lich controlling it. Just skeletons. You tell me that the Knights of Judgment actually suffered casualties?"

It was as if I heard something incredible.

It is a shame for the Paladin Legion, which is good at legion combat and has various healing magics, to have casualties in such a battle.

"Sir, we encountered several strange skeletons. They have strange shapes, use magical weapons, and their ammunition is very strange..."

The holy warrior recounted the whole process in detail, causing James Vaughan to frown.

At the beginning, the advance was very smooth. Ordinary undead and magic traps could not have much impact on the paladins. The real danger was the alien skeletons that suddenly appeared. The skeleton gunners with only half of their bodies but holding magic rifles, hanging upside down from the ceiling, and the skeleton tanks blocked in the hole in the wall with only a little bit of the gun barrel exposed.

Every attack from these monsters caught people off guard, and what was even more terrifying was that once their bullets caused a wound, it would cause the human bones to grow abnormally. Several paladins were only scratched, and then torn to pieces by the overgrown bones while wailing.

However, no healing magic could cure this terrible symptom, as if it was not a magical curse but a terrible power they had never seen before.

Fortunately, there are very few skeletons of this type. After confirming their location, they can be eliminated with a direct Holy Slash. The huge skeleton tank can only be hit by a few more Holy Slashes, and because of its huge size and clumsy size, it cannot dodge and is a complete sitting duck.

James Watson didn't expect that Amberxiu had such vicious means. Is there really undead magic in this world that cannot be purified by holy light?

The paladin continued to report, "Sir, there are many human slaves outside the castle. They should be our compatriots enslaved by the lich."

James Watson waved his hand and said, "According to the usual practice, we gave them enough food and set them free. We did not take them away this time."

"But, my lord, there is another priest of light in the castle. He says he is your son's attendant."

James Watson frowned. Why is there still a Priest of Light? Haven’t all the hostages been handed over to the Alchemy City?

"How is he, is he seriously injured?" asked James Watson.

The paladin hesitated, then replied, "He appears to be unharmed, and he doesn't seem to be lacking in food and water. He looks...very healthy."

James Watson said angrily: "How could he be unharmed?"

It was clearly written in the article that Alan had to endure inhuman torture every day, which made James Watson burst into tears. How could this priest of light be unscathed?

James Watson said angrily: "He must have betrayed his faith. Interrogate him severely! Also, dig out the lich's life box as soon as possible!"
