Chapter 322 Heading to Liuyan City
Amber Xiu did not stay in the Unholy Song. Even though Red River Town was the place where he had lived the longest, he had no attachment to this completely changed city.
He was directly teleported to the Black Gate City on the border. After leaving the city, Amber Xiu used illusion to hide his figure and flew into the air.
He wanted to see what the situation was in this area and whether it was possible to stop Ryan's army.
As a result, when he flew into the sky, Amber Xiu saw those densely packed hell gates.
When not activated, the hell gates can be hidden and completely invisible, but the Unholy Song was to threaten Ryan, so these hell gates were projected with phantoms.
Each hell gate is 100 meters high. The ones Amber Xiu had seen before were completely miniature versions and could not be compared at all.
These hell gates are distributed on the border between the two countries. This is a border of about 200 kilometers. At both ends of the border are rugged mountains and a large number of active volcanoes.
Therefore, except for this 200-kilometer border, it is difficult for Ryan to bypass these volcanoes and attack the homeland of the Unholy Song.
But this space is large enough, almost all of it is a flat plain. In addition to the Hell Gate, there are many lava rivers deliberately dug by Tiefling, which flow down from those active volcanoes to form a criss-crossing lava area.
These dozens of Hell Gates are evenly distributed on the border line, one every two or three kilometers, and this defense line can be said to be quite tight.
There are 23 border cities on both sides, and there are fewer on the Unholy Song side, only ten.
Black Gate City is the first city, a completely militarized city, because the walls have been stained with volcanic ash for many years and have turned black, so it is called Black Gate City.
There are 13 border cities on Ryan's side, and Liuyan City is the one closest to the border line and the largest city. The other 12 cities are all satellites of Liuyan City, which play the role of providing supplies and defense.
Ryan's army must set out from Liuyan City. After crossing the border, it will encounter the lava river blocking the road and the Hell Gate.
Under normal circumstances, these two things are enough to stop any army.
Tieflings only need to wait in Black Gate City and support with long-range magic from time to time.
Even if the Lions are brave and invincible and rush through this area, the monsters of the Gate of Hell will chase them and bite them, forcing them into Black Gate City. The pincer attack from both sides will completely destroy the Lions.
As long as the Lions cannot jump over this line of defense, the Unholy Song can rest easy.
But now the line of defense is in name only, and the Unholy Song's line of defense appears very weak, like paper, and can be broken with just a slight poke from Lion.
The loss of Black Gate City means that the Unholy Song's door is wide open, and the Lions can fight however they want. With logistical support, they can easily occupy the entire kingdom.
"No wonder Uladimir is willing to build this line of defense. It is really powerful, with low cost and good effect, saving countless military expenses. No wonder the environment of this kingdom is getting better and better. It's a pity that everything has a price."
The longer Amber Xiu lives in this world, the more he understands what fate is.
Amber Xiu seems to be doing well recently, but that was earned after hundreds of years of wandering. He not only missed a chance to become a god, but also had countless regrets that made his soul tremble when he thought about it.
Arthur Ryan was like a cheat. He killed the dragon tyrant with his mortal body and liberated the world. Then he had to fight against the evil thoughts of the dragon in the last stage of his life, and finally his soul was completely annihilated.
The dragon clan is the same. They once ruled the world, but now they are driven out of the world. Newborn dragons can only eat fish, which shows how miserable their lives are.
Uladimir has been smooth sailing for hundreds of years, and now it is time to pay back.
Amber Xiu continued to fly high in the sky, preparing to go to Liuyan City to see how the Ryan people are prepared and whether there is any opportunity to take advantage of.
Amber Xiu was ruthless enough. He appeared directly outside Liuyan City and displayed his dark magic.
Liuyan City sensed the magic of the undead, and the holy light suddenly shone, locking Amber Xiu.
But Amber Xiu stood far away from the city, which was beyond the attack range of the city defense magic system.
Therefore, dozens of figures rushed out of Liuyan City after a while, probably the holy warriors who came to investigate.
Seeing Amber Xiu, the lich who did not hide the dark magic, they immediately raised their swords and shouted "Holy Light, that evil is worth fighting!"
More than a dozen holy warriors galloped on their horses, and the Holy Slash had already condensed on their swords, and they were about to chop Amber Xiu into bone powder.
But Amber Xiu laughed, and the magic power between his fingers surged, and a huge stone wall blocked the way of these holy warriors.
Fortunately, there was still some distance, and these holy warriors were quite good at riding, so they quickly pulled the horses' heads and narrowly avoided hitting the wall.
At this time, Amber Xiu had already appeared on this earth wall, holding a pardon order in his hand and throwing it to these holy warriors.
"Don't chop down the undead just because you see them. I am a lich pardoned by your Ryan Empire. According to your laws, you cannot use force against me. It is against the law."
Amber Xiu's words almost made the holy warriors fuming. What amnesty for liches? I've never heard of it... Wait, I seem to have heard of it.
When Amber Xiu stopped the war, he was pardoned by Ryan. This matter was quite a big deal. Many people believed that the undead were undead, and they could not be pardoned just because they did good things.
But there were also many people who supported this point, because it was very simple. It was written in the doctrine that saving humans from danger was an act worthy of praise. .
Amber Xiu stopped the war and saved more than a million human lives. If this lich did not reward them, how could these priests have the nerve to take the reward? The number of people they saved in their lifetime was not even a fraction of Amber Xiu.
Considering the stability of the country, those who opposed it had to accept this result. Otherwise, every time they were awarded medals, someone would say sourly, "This achievement is nothing compared to that lich."
This pardon order also had this reason. No one could accept the consequences of the collective rebellion of the priests of light.
Recalling this unpleasant past, the paladins were immediately discouraged. It was the first time in their lives that they encountered the undead and could not swing their swords. And it was not because they did not have the courage, but because the lich had privileges.
How fucking infuriating!
The paladins resisted the urge to curse and asked Amber Xiu: "What are you doing in Liuyan City? You are not welcome here!"
Amber Xiu smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have important information about the Unholy Song. As Ryan's only undead friend, should I tell your superiors about this information?"
