Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 313 Lich
While the general defending the city knew that the situation was hopeless, Viola, far behind the army, was using a telescope to observe the resistance on the city wall.

"Almost done. Tell the cavalry to harass the enemy as they retreat. There is no need to pursue them too far."

The gap was deliberately left for the enemy to escape. Viola was not interested in the lives of thousands of defenders in the fortress. The key was to capture the Lookout Fortress.

The so-called explosion of the drain was just a feint. Viola still planned to keep this fortress. Besides, they didn't have enough explosives. The explosion was just the leftover explosive packs from the previous gasoline barrel cannon, and its power was at most similar to that of a firework.

Of course, you can't let them escape too easily. It's okay to harass them a few times, but don't chase them all the time.

Although it is unlikely, if the other party is forced into a corner and launches a counterattack, it would be unnecessary for our side to suffer additional losses.

The messenger trotted away, and Zora stood by Viola like a door god, fearing that the princess would rush forward on a whim.

The Avarus royal family is like this. If something happens, they will really do it.

Then Viola said to Olde beside her:

"Inform Rhaena and ask her to follow the cavalry to harass the fleeing army. Her help is not needed on the city wall for the time being."

The dragon's presence was extremely strong, and with her chasing after them, the defenders would surely run very fast.

To be honest, it was expected that the siege would turn out like this, but it was also a bit unexpected.

Because the current battle situation is the best result from the previous war game simulation, they didn't think it would be so smooth at the time, but the result is actually better than expected.

After taking down the Lookout Fortress, the next biggest challenge is to open the city. Not only must it be done in a short period of time, but we must also guard against the counterattack of the Four-Nation Alliance.

While thinking about what to do next, Ordai suddenly said after sending a message to Bailong:
"It's broken. It's a bit troublesome."

These words startled the people around, wondering why Alday suddenly said this.

But before he could ask, Aldea raised her staff and pointed it diagonally toward the sky.

- Om!

A huge buzzing sound suddenly broke into the ears, and an intense flash of light broke out about ten meters above. It looked like a four or five meter long, rapidly approaching light arrow hit that position.

Beams of light swirled around like smoke, and the surging magical light made it impossible to open one's eyes. Until then, everyone realized that they were attacked by long-range magic, and Alde blocked it with a defensive spell.

After two or three seconds, the light disappeared and the shield at the front collapsed.

In the sky, one could see from afar a meteor-like track heading towards everyone's location at high speed, as if it was going to tear apart all the dark clouds floating in the night sky. In the blink of an eye, a shadow in a black robe appeared above everyone's head.

Its pale finger bones were exposed, and the eye sockets of the skull under the hood flashed red light like needles. Just looking at it gave one the illusion of being pricked.

This is a lich.

Viola immediately drew out her sword and stabbed it into the ground.

Almost at the same time, a huge golden light rose along the ground, like a small church made of light, shining on everyone.

This is temple magic, a type of divine magic that temporarily transforms an area into a temple and can defend a large area.

Considering Viola's importance as the leader of the counterattack and the possibility that the enemy might send assassins to assassinate her, Li Chengxi bestowed this divine art on her early on.

Even the lich shrank back when faced with the holy light, and floated back slightly, as if trying to avoid the light.

As long as they are in the temple, the liches will be helpless against them, but it is hard to say how much casualties the liches will cause to the army during this period.

Viola was about to turn around and ask Oldie how to deal with the lich, but when she turned around, Oldie was nowhere to be seen. Looking up, she saw a buzzing light portal opened not far from the lich. Oldie walked out of the portal holding a staff and floated in the air opposite the lich.

You see, the royal family of Avarus is like this. They really dare to take action when something happens!
–‐‐——–‐‐——

Liches are no small fry. Each of these undead spellcasters who gain nearly eternal life by transforming into undead creatures is quite difficult to deal with. They may plan for decades to deal with difficult enemies. After all, time is no longer a luxury.

Moreover, all liches are the best in the field of spellcasters, and the minimum standard for transforming into a lich is level 50.

Aurday is level 45, which seems like a small gap, but in fact the gap is quite large.

Level 50 is known as a match for ten thousand men. Even if facing an army of ten thousand men, he can retreat calmly even if he cannot defeat them. However, those below level 50 do not have this ability and will still be killed by the outnumbered troops.

To put it more intuitively, if a dragon is an adult, it is at the minimum level of 50, and a level 50 adult dragon can easily defeat three young dragons like Rhaena. However, Alde was not afraid at all. She walked out of the portal and looked directly into the lich's eyes that emitted a painful red light like a needle tip.

"Alais, right? I knew it was you when I saw that evil robe."

There are some miscellaneous things hanging on the lich's black robe, such as dried animal organs, amber made from living people's eyeballs, etc.

"Auldair...you seem to be stronger."

The lich's voice was hoarse and cold, without any emotion:

"What have you been researching these days? You can actually detect my ultra-long-range spells."

"But still not as good as you."

The two knew each other, and were even considered research partners when they were in the Academic City.

The lich Alais is a newcomer who has only been a lich for a few years. He was originally a dragonborn, so his skull looks more like a lizard's skull.

"I saw your masterpiece. The power of the ship-borne magic convergence cannon is quite amazing, but heat dissipation is still a big problem that cannot be solved."

"Oh, without your help as a materials expert, I can only do this much."

Although it was a compliment, the lich's tone remained as steady as a machine.

A lich will gradually lose the emotions of living people. Ales was originally a person with indifferent emotions, and he became even colder after becoming a lich.

Ales is obsessed with the development of magical technology. When time is no longer a luxury, his desire for research and knowledge has reached its peak. Few people can bear it. The lich's idea of ​​recruiting capable assistants has never been smooth.

Until Oldie showed up.

Alday has an almost endless thirst for knowledge, a strong drive for action, and most importantly, she is a genius.

At one point, Ales thought he had found a soulmate. If Orde's level had not met the basic requirements for transformation into a lich, he would have helped Orde to transform long ago.

But no matter how much you admire someone, if you have different ideas, you will not be able to cooperate.

Alde believes that magic technology should be used to improve people's livelihood and make the world a better place.

However, Ales believed that magic technology should be used most in the military. Only by ending the seven-nation situation and achieving unification would there be a steady supply of technology and human resources to develop higher-level technology.

The differences between the two had reached an irreconcilable point and they eventually parted ways.

"So, what are you doing here? I don't think you're just here to say hello."

"I am now loyal to the Demon Kingdom of Tandelon. My main purpose is to find out what force defeated the navy, but seeing that Princess Viola is here, I think we can end the war in a faster way. What do you think?"

The lich does not consider emotions, but purely rationality. Indeed, the simplest and most direct way to end this war is to kill Viola.

As long as she disappears, the resistance forces of the Avarus Demon Kingdom will lose their banner and the war will naturally end.

"I'm sorry, but I don't think so."

"I admit that you have become stronger, but are you sure you can resist me?"

The lich raised his birch staff, the threat in his eyes obvious.

Ordai also raised his staff and pointed it at the lich:

“I may not be able to do it, but I want to try.”

The huge blue orb on the staff in her hand lit up with magical light, illuminating the surrounding air.

"I must say, you have bad luck."

The tension was growing stronger and stronger, and the magic power of both of them was at its limit, ready to be unleashed.

Fighting is inevitable.
