Chapter 1586: Deep behind enemy lines

Helmut stood at the entrance of the cave, staring at the white ice above his head in a daze. After a long time, he sighed and then he retracted his gaze. .
Helmut is a member of the Lich who stayed behind in the Lair of the Immortals and the leader of all who stayed behind.
Among the four lich who remained at the same time, he had the oldest qualifications.
Originally, they wanted to participate in this battle that would ultimately determine the fate of the immortal, just like other liches.
But Edwood ordered them to stay, one to serve the dead high priest who was seriously injured.
The second is to deal with the worst case.
If the liches have not won the victory over humans and cannot stop the advancement of humans, the liches of them will be responsible for covering up the last lair of the immortal, so that even if the humans are victorious, they will not find the undead high priest. , Leaving the last glimmer of hope.
When the time comes, they will use explosive crystals to blow up the ice above their heads.
Over the top of the canyon, tens of thousands of tons of huge ice like the roof will pour down, completely burying the canyon hidden under the ice cover.
In the extremely cold weather in the wasteland, the ice that collapsed would be as hard as steel in two days. The pickaxe hits only one white spot on the ice.
In this way, even if the location of this cave is found by humans, it will take at least several years to dig it.
In the past few years, enough time for the undead high priest to recover most of his injuries, even if he could not immediately launch a counterattack, he could at least protect himself.
Of course, the result of this is that some of their left-behind personnel will also be frozen in the cave.
However, as an immortal family, they don’t need any food supplies, and they have lived alone for hundreds of years. Even if they are frozen for a few years, it is just a small fragment of their long life. And self.
As long as His Majesty the Gods heals his injuries and restores his mana, the future world will definitely be the world of the immortal clan~!
But... but this is the worst plan after all.
Therefore, since Edwood led the army on the expedition, Helmut and the remaining lich have been waiting at the entrance of the cave, staring at the ice cap above their heads, hoping that they can return victorious.
For the cold and selfish lich, such a mood of expectation is extremely rare, even never before. Helmut just vaguely remembered that when he was a human being hundreds of years ago, he had a similar mood when dating a lover.
Time passed by in their anxious waiting. By the early hours of the morning, the ice cap above their heads was still pale, and there was still no movement.
Helmut and their hearts gradually became heavier, and the longer they dragged on, the less their hope of victory became.
If no one returns by daybreak, it means they have completely failed.
Helmut's heart was mixed for a while.
Various scenes kept appearing in his mind: moments when the liches on the march were wiped out, moments when thousands of priests and mages rushed into the cave. After a while, the liches returned triumphantly...
The liches who stayed behind also looked different at this time. Some were silent, some sighed. There are still people who are still unwilling to give up, staring at the ice cap above their heads without blinking, hoping that the war fortress of the undead will appear in the next second...
Just as Helmut was expecting the results in his mind, suddenly a lich exclaimed in excitement: "Someone is back!"
Helmut looked up suddenly.
I saw a black spot quickly approaching against the white background above.
Then it grew bigger and bigger, and finally turned into a dark pyramid-shaped war fort~!
It came to the top of the canyon, and then slowly landed.
Compared with the deep and narrow canyon, a lone war fortress looks very small, but it is very eye-catching.
The liches staying behind watched nervously at the landed war fortress, guessing in their hearts the outcome of the war.
Helmut stared at the war fort and muttered: "Just come back, just come back..."
When someone comes back, it means they may have won.
The war fortress quickly dropped to a height of only a few tens of meters. At this time, someone asked in a worried voice: "Why is there only one? What about the others?"
Helmut couldn't help but reacted.
He hurriedly raised his head and scanned the top of his head, but he could not find any other war fortresses.
Sure enough, there is only such a lonely war fortress falling through the ice sheet~!
In the past, when the battle returned, more than a dozen war fortresses would land in sequence at the same time, and the huge roar echoed constantly in the canyon, which was extremely lively.
Helmut's mood suddenly sank again: Only one came back, which is not a good sign. Did all the other people die?
At this time, the war fortress flew carefully through the canyon under the ice, and finally landed on the open space in front of the cave.
Helmut squinted unwillingly, and continued to patrol under the ice cover for another week.
But all the dust around the war fortress fell, but no one saw the war fortress coming in behind.
After the landed war fortress settled on the ground, Helmut and the Liches looked at each other, and then they all flew over in a hurry.
They desperately want to know the news of the war. Even if it is a failure, it is better than waiting so dryly.
But when they came to the front of the war fortress and saw that the door hadn't been opened for a long time, Helmut couldn't help but a glimmer of doubt flashed in his eyes-although he didn't know what happened, it was obviously abnormal.
Just when he couldn't help but want to fly into the war fortress, and when he went to take a look in person, the door of the war fortress made a muffled sound, and then slowly opened.
Immediately afterwards, several liches wrapped in black robes slowly walked down.
Helmut immediately stopped them and asked anxiously: "How did we win? Why are you the only one coming back? Where are the others?"
While he was talking, he took a closer look at the other party, and saw that the black-robed man at the head was pulled very low, completely covering his face, and he couldn't see his appearance at all.
However, he didn't care about it either. Basically all the liches had this surname.
The main reason for this is not to pretend to be mysterious, but because there is too much rotten meat on their faces, so they all subconsciously choose to cover their faces-although the witches don’t care too much about looks, after all, As a human, there are still a few traces of beauty and ugliness deep in my heart.
The black-robed man at the head stopped, was silent for a moment, and said in a hoarse voice: "Yes, we have won. To be sure, we are about to win."
The liches who stayed behind let out a burst of excitement and cheers.
Someone touched his forehead and cried out: "I know it, and I know that it is impossible for the immortal to fail."
"Thank God's Majesty, destiny is still on our side after all."
"..."
Helmut also breathed a long sigh of relief. He always regretted that he hadn't participated in the decisive battle. Hearing the news of victory suddenly, Helmut felt his phylogenetic trembling with excitement.
At this moment, he even had the urge to cry, which was a miracle for the Lich who had lost his life and feelings.
He suppressed his excitement and said: "Just... just come back one of you? The battle is very difficult, right?"
"No, of course not." The headed black-robed man let out a dry laugh, and said: "The others will be back soon. They are cleaning the battlefield. We are back to report the good news to the high priest."
The liches couldn't help but glance at each other, and they all saw the disappointed expression in each other's eyes.
Helmut suddenly cursed in his heart the gang of liches who saw profit and selfishness for their bad roots. As soon as the crisis of the war was lifted here, these puppies started fighting again, hoping that others would not succeed.
At the same time, I couldn’t help but sigh: It turns out that there are other people alive. Really, if only one comes back... Uh, no, if they fight with the enemy and all die in battle, then it should be more. OK~!
However, they did not say these words. Instead, one by one desperately squeezed smiles on their faces and shouted: "Go, your majesty will be very happy to hear it. You are really lucky, sure. Will be rewarded by His Majesty."
While talking, they gave way.
The headed man in black robed a low laugh, bowed his head and walked slowly forward.
Helmut looked at the figures of these witches and sighed. The immortal clan finally passed the biggest crisis of his clan in two thousand years.
They won, and the future is theirs. After all, the dark magic will usher in a day of victory.
Although they have lost their strength, lost the Semites, and the service of the dark wizard, as long as they are given enough time, under the leadership of the undead high priest, the eternal life will reign over the world.
The most important thing for liches is time. They can wait patiently for opportunities in a hundred years.
And human beings, no matter how powerful they are, one day when they finally get old, unless they are strong to the realm of a demigod, they can live forever like the undead high priest.
The innate advantage of the immortals is that those lowly races that use physical activity will never be able to compare.
Helmut even began to plan future strategies in his heart. First, they had to use the Dera Zerg to clear the humans on the Undead Island, and then spread the Dera Zerg out to contain human power.
After the undead high priest recovers from his injury, he will return to the Semitic in one breath to rebuild the glory of the immortal.
When the time comes, you must give those walls a bit of color to let them know the price of the betrayer.
After this battle, the status of Edwood's number one lich will be untouched. Helmut decided that he must have a good relationship with him. The number two and number three dare not think about it. He can be satisfied with the number six and seven. Up.
Helmut watched several liches walking towards the cave, secretly envying in his heart, and said in secret: A group of lucky puppies, I don't know what the gods will reward them.
These people must be confidants of Edwood, right?
Otherwise, it won't be this fat man...
Looking at the backs of these people, Helmut suddenly felt something wrong, but he couldn't say that there was something wrong there. There was a strange feeling in his heart. Anyway, it was a bit awkward to see these liches.
He carefully thought about the conversation with these liches, and suddenly remembered what was wrong: they were talking about the undead high priest, not the Lord of God, and it was very strange that they did not use honorifics like the liches.
Thinking of this, Helmut suddenly raised his voice: "Wait."
A dozen liches who were walking toward the cave suddenly stopped. They suddenly stopped like stone statues. After a few seconds, the leading liches turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Helmut took two steps forward, and said in a deep voice: "I don't seem to have seen you before. May I ask you who are you?"
"There are so many beings in the world, it's normal that you haven't seen me." The leading Lich slowly said with an inexplicable smile, "My name is Lorraine~!"
×××××××
A few hours ago...
In the early hours of the morning, the battlefield shook the sky, and the undead war fortress swooped into the black night sky and opened fire, then pulled away.
The light from the magic cannon spilled into the fortress like raindrops, splashing a ripple like water on the ground.
On the battlefield covered by thick fog, the war fort that passed over the human fortress launched an attack, and then plunged into the thick fog and disappeared quickly.
Even the liches must be careful when flying in the fog. With their dark vision capabilities, they can't see tens of meters away.
Therefore, flying in dense fog is a technical job, and the liches had to slow down and circle the fortress slowly.
The battle lasted more than an hour, and the liches gradually felt strenuous in the high-intensity attack.
In this case, no one noticed that a war fortress of the undead was sneaking into their ranks from the east.
On this war fortress, a man wrapped in black robes said with an urn: "You kid promised that if my zero machine is gone, you will be exactly the same with me."
A person next to him who was also wrapped in a black robe said impatiently: "Don't say one, you can pay for three.
One for driving, one for borrowing, one for collecting, how about? "
"Good or good, how do I feel that your kid's tone is like cursing?"
The speaker opened the hood of the black robe, revealing a long fluffy white beard, staring a pair of eyes and said displeasedly, it is the curse magister, the dean of the Maple Leaf Danlin Mage Academy, and the chairman of the coalition advisory committee. , Rester.
Opposite him was Marshal Lorraine, the deputy commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, the front-line commander, and the protector of Vantino.
Lorraine curled his lips and said, "Cut, don't pull it down, I will keep it for myself."
At the same time, I secretly said in my heart that not all of your masters have the German surnames of dead otaku, and there is no essential difference from those otaku who bought three copies of the same CD.
There was a soft smile next to him, and a person who was also wrapped in a black robe raised his hand and punched Lorraine, revealing a pink-white palm from the slipped sleeve.
Lester smiled very satisfied, and said: "This is what your kid said, you can't fall back on your account then."
A dozen people stood scattered around the two, dressed exactly the same as Lorraine, all wrapped themselves tightly, and hoods concealed their faces.
"Yes, yes." Lord Lorraine reluctantly agreed, and said: "Fortunately, he robbed such a war fortress."
Lester patted the icy walls of the war fort, and said with emotion: "Yes, I didn't expect to use it again today."
The fortress of the war where everyone was riding was Lester's zero machine, which was taken back by Lorraine and Lester from the Semitic.
After returning to the Maple Leaf Danlin, the Elemental Masters took the zero machine as a template to embark on the old road of the rise of traditional industrial countries, which are first cottage and then innovative.
It's just that the gang of otaku elemental mages who don't have girlfriends are really powerful. They quickly cracked the circle of the undead war fortress and began to study the creation of human war fortresses.
Humans do not have the original technology of a war fortress, but the research on the circle is not comparable to that of the witches, and soon a war fortress that flies faster, higher, and has a larger load capacity is created.
This number zero machine was also successful and became Lester's personal car to show off his achievements.
When the undead's war fortress suddenly flew from the north, Lord Lorraine thought of the zero machine and mixed it with the undead's war fortress. No one could detect the abnormality.
The zero plane first ducked carefully into the dense fog, circulated a few laps pretendingly, and fired two shots outside the fortress.
When flying over the fortress, Lord Lorraine even saw the bright and dazzling ‘self’ on the ground, like a 200-watt large light bulb, running back and forth in the fortress.
At the same time, I also saw the ‘Rest’, who showed great power on the wall of the fortress, and the spells were emitted from his hand, very conspicuous.
Lester next to Lord Lorraine muttered: "That old guy pretends that I don't look like it at all."
Let everyone laugh.
After drilling into the thick fog, the zero plane flew slowly northward, leaving the sky over the battlefield, and it took ten minutes to break through the thick fog.
As soon as he walked out of the fog, he raised his speed to the highest speed and galloped north, leaving behind the battlefield full of explosions.
At about four o'clock in the morning, a ground covered with ice and snow appeared under the zero plane and flew into the ice and snow area.
Even in the dark night, the white ice and snow on the ground are also very eye-catching, the vast white has been extended to the distance, the pure white has been extended to the far north, there is no end in sight.
In the extreme north of the wasteland, the temperature is below freezing all year round, but there are no lakes and rivers, and occasionally there is only a small amount of poor rainfall.
I don’t know that it took thousands of years to form an ice layer as thick as tens of meters.
The patience and mighty nature of nature amazed everyone on the zero plane.
Behind the crowd, a low voice suddenly said: "We are here."
The people on the zero machine lowered their heads, but found nothing, only a piece of pure ice and snow, and the zero machine began to slowly lower.
The base of the black pyramid-shaped war fort touched on the ice and snow, and then passed through a layer of ice that had been frozen for thousands of years, as hard as steel, and sank slowly without encountering any obstacles. In the ice.
The black figure of the war fortress disappeared little by little in the ice, until the top of the sharp tower was swallowed by ice and snow.
The ice and snow on the ground returned to its original state, as if it had never moved.
In the eyes of everyone's astonishment, the zero plane went straight through the ice and landed in the dim canyon.
Lester kept his eyes wide open watching the war fortress pass through the ice layer several meters thick, and couldn’t help but sigh:
The old man, the undead high priest, really has two brushes. simple."
A person next to him nodded, and said, "Hiding the old nest under the ice, what I don't know is that I can't find it for a lifetime."
"But he was found by us~!" Lorraine pulled on the hood of the black robe, pulled out a Thomson submachine gun from the black robe, checked the drum filled with bullets, and pulled the bolt "click" He loaded the bullet and said in a deep voice: "Prepare to fight."
Several people behind him took out their weapons from under the black robes at the same time, and after careful inspection, they hid them close to themselves in the generous black robes, and there was no abnormality from the outside.
Everyone nodded to Lorraine immediately, indicating that they were ready and said nothing during the whole process.
Lester raised a handful of black dust and sprinkled it on everyone to isolate everyone from the living breath. At the same time, he solemnly said: "Be careful~!"
Everyone in Unit Zero looked at each other, and they all saw the flaming fighting spirit in each other's eyes.
The war fortress slowly landed on the open space in front of the cave, and several black shadows quickly greeted him. Lester took a quick look and said, "Be careful, it's the lich~!"
"Damn~EbookFREE.me~ Shouldn't they all be on the battlefield?"
Several people looked at each other, but they didn't expect to meet the Lich as soon as they landed. This was beyond their expectations and might cause unpredictable consequences.
Lord Lorraine glanced out the window and said: "Don't be nervous, there are only four. Let's go down and listen to my command. If it doesn't work, we will kill them.
Now, open the door~! "
The door of the zero machine slowly opened, Lorraine stepped out of the war fortress first, and his fingers in the black robe had already been buckled on the trigger of the Thomson submachine gun.
The Lich on the opposite side asked eagerly: "What happened..."
Lord Lorraine carefully observed the surroundings while he was speaking, but the Lich was not aware of it, apparently treating them as accomplices.
After dealing with this guy a few words, Lorraine forced himself to calm down and stepped through the middle of the lich. His purpose was to find the undead high priest and kill him directly. If the lich sees through a battle, it is likely to alarm the hidden undead. High priest.
But after walking out a few meters, a lich behind him suddenly stopped himself and asked: "I don't seem to have seen you before. Excuse me, are you?"
Lorraine knew that this guy was already suspicious, and if he stopped to talk to him, he would definitely expose more suspicious points.
The plan was settled in his mind, Lorraine smiled calmly, gestured to the people behind him, turned to look at the lich, and smiled and said: "There are many people in the world, you haven't seen me, it's normal...
My name is Lorraine~! "
"Do it, kill them~!" (To be continued.)
