Chapter 659: Lich and Demon Commander

Six corpses of Nakma demons were placed side by side in front of the magic wooden house. The corpses began to rot slowly, and the stench filled the air. Almost all the magicians watching covered their mouths and noses.

The remaining ice and snow around had not yet completely melted, and a thick dark atmosphere filled the air.

At this time, only Roy, who was standing next to Grahams, was in good condition...

Grand Magister Cedric stood on the terrace outside the magic cabin, looking at the Nakma demon warriors lined up side by side. After pondering for a while, he decided that the magic cabin should leave the area immediately.

After hearing the instructions from Grand Magister Cedric, Magister Elaud began to arrange for the Grand Magister to control the Steel Golem to change its direction.

"Teacher Cedric, it's rare for us to encounter Nakma demons, so why don't we... kill a few more Nakma demons before leaving."

Magister Joyce stood aside and whispered a suggestion to Grand Magister Cedric.

Grand Magister Cedric shook his head without even a second thought and rejected Joyce's proposal.

Naturally, the other magicians did not dare to make any more comments.

Although Grams was more inclined to the opinion of Magister Joyce, he had no right to speak at this time...

Roy and Leah could only stand in the corridor of the magic cabin and listen to the magicians' conversation.

This was the far outskirts of the Fourth Expeditionary Force camp. Before the Magic Wooden House reached the Dragon's Throat Expeditionary Force camp, they encountered the Nakma demons, the indigenous inhabitants of the Dark Land.

Roy guessed they were a patrol team.

The appearance of this Nakma Demon patrol team indicates that there will definitely be Nakma Demon legions around.

Because of this, Grand Mage Cedric made the decision to "not move the magic cabin any further". In order to ensure that the magic cabin would not be followed by other Nakma demons, Grand Mage Cedric also sent Grand Mage Oppaia to the Dragon's Throat camp to investigate the situation there.

……

Soon, the great magician Oppaiya returned to the magic cabin. Her face was pale and her pace became a little chaotic. She pushed open the door of the small conference room and saw several magicians sitting around the round table. Oppaiya calmed her slightly panicked emotions and walked straight in.

On the conference table was a map of the Dragon's Throat Expeditionary Camp. This map was bought by the magicians at the Brinniya Expeditionary Camp. It was very comprehensively marked, and even the military area and living area of ​​the camp were clearly distinguished.

Oppaia stood behind Magister Jonas, and only spoke after Magister Jonas glanced at her:
"The Nakma demons are currently attacking the Fourth Expeditionary Force camp... the Dragon's Throat."

These words immediately made all the magicians who were meditating with their eyes closed in the conference room open their eyes.

Everyone guessed that the Nakma Demon Army was probably hiding nearby, but no one expected that the Nakma Demons were attacking the Dragon's Throat Expeditionary Force camp.

In this way, the magicians have already entered the edge of the battlefield.

In more serious cases, there might be Nakma demon armies all around...

The six magicians immediately discussed countermeasures. Magician Joyce wanted to take this opportunity to rush directly to the Dragon's Throat Expeditionary Camp and join the war.

But Grand Magister Cedric did not want everyone to be involved in this war, because the Temple Expeditionary Force had already entered the depths of the Dark Land, and the priests in the Dragon's Throat Expeditionary Force camp might not be able to stop the attack of the Nakma Demon Legion.

Therefore, Grand Magister Cedric decided to retreat the same way he came, and once he was far away from the battlefield, he would search for the lich in other places.

The other magicians followed the decision of Grand Magician Cedric, and the magic cabin immediately moved away from the Dragon's Throat Expeditionary Force camp...

……

Roy didn't expect that the war between the Temple Expeditionary Force and the Nakma Demons would spread here.

You have to know that this is only the fourth camp of the Temple Expeditionary Force, which is considered the rear base of the Temple Expeditionary Force. If these Nakma Demon Legions came directly along the expeditionary route, it means that the entire Temple Expeditionary Force was annihilated in the Dark Land...

However, this conjecture is obviously unrealistic, because since the Temple Expeditionary Force entered the Dark Land, it has always taken the initiative.

The Nakma Demon Army in the Dark Land had never organized an effective counterattack. The Nakma Demons initially used the extended supply lines of the Temple Expeditionary Force to resolve the Temple Expeditionary Force's first two overwhelming attacks...

Now, a legion of Nakma demons suddenly appeared in the Dragon's Throat. Roy was a little worried about the current situation of other expeditionary camps.

Could it be that the Temple Expeditionary Force has been completely annihilated, and the Nakma Demon Army has begun to sound the clarion call for a counterattack?

A group of great magicians gathered in the rest area on the second floor to discuss this matter. Roy, who usually didn't like crowds, also joined everyone to discuss the current situation of the Dragon's Throat Expeditionary Force camp...

Most magicians agreed with Grand Mage Cedric's decision, believing that it was the right time to withdraw. If it was earlier or later, it would have been difficult to even escape.

The magic wooden house originally had little mobility. Once it was targeted by the patrol team of the Nakma demons, that would be the worst thing that could happen...

Although the magic wooden house turned around and walked back under the pull of the steel golem, the group of magicians still couldn't help their curiosity. In addition to going to the battlefield in person to observe the battle situation, the magicians could also use spells to explore the situation on the battlefield.

However, the observation area of ​​this magic skill is very limited, and it requires a relatively clear relative coordinate position, so it is not a very practical magic skill, and many magicians will not waste time learning such a magic.

Oppaia is a space magician. In order to increase the success rate of casting portal magic, she happened to study this long-distance reconnaissance magic - 'World Vision' seriously.

A group of great magicians sat on the sofa. Roy stood behind the great magician Grahams, staring at the crystal ball on the coffee table.

There was actually a magic crystal ball of a similar style in his magic waist bag. Magician Dalakli told Roy that his magic crystal ball was a demon divination device, but Roy had never used it until now.

As Oppaia chanted a series of rapid spells, the magic crystal ball on the coffee table began to emit a magical glow.

Roy was confused at first, but then a white mist began to emerge from the magic crystal ball. When the mist gradually dissipated, a scene appeared inside the magic crystal ball.

It was a ruined camp, and the most eye-catching place in the camp was the arch formed by the mandible of a huge dragon head.

Behind the archway was a densely packed tent area. It was unknown how long these tents had been built. A thick layer of dust had fallen on the surface, and some of the canvas even had holes. The priests in the camp looked like ants, picking up their weapons and rushing out of the camp. At the edge of the crystal ball display area, a group of Nakma warriors were seen. These Nakma warriors had the lower body of wild horses. They launched a charging formation on the plains of this dark land, which was quite impactful.

The Nakma demon warriors were clad in dark and tough armor and wielding sharp blades in their hands. They looked like terrifying killing machines.

Countless priests who rushed out of the camp fell on the battlefield. The Nakma Demon Legion in front of them was completely slaughtering these priests one-sidedly.

The great magician Grams wiped his forehead with his hand, uttered a curse, stood up from the sofa, and walked straight to the window, unwilling to look at the crystal ball any longer...

The other great magicians were also indignant, muttering in a low voice: "How could this happen? The Nakma demons are slaughtering our compatriots in the camp ahead. Even if we want to evacuate, we should at least create some trouble for them. We are not really afraid of them..."

"I can't bear to watch this any longer. I'm going to go out and get some fresh air!"

At this time, a great magician suddenly shouted: "Everyone calm down. Wait, Oppaia, can you adjust the angle to the back to increase the viewing distance?"

"The picture will only be smaller, and the image will be blurrier..."

Although Opea said this, she still cooperated and did as she was told.

"It's okay, just move away a little... Look, everyone come here and take a careful look, what is that black fog behind the Nakma Demon Legion?" the great magician said loudly.

Not only did the great magicians focus their attention on the magic crystal ball, but even Roy's eyes were drawn to it...

In Roy's sight, the fist-sized crystal ball showed almost the entire scene of the Dragon's Throat camp. At the edge of the scene, in the blurry distance, there was actually a rolling black fog...

Roy felt a little scalp-tingling, but then he realized that the black fog looked familiar.

While they were in Haiti, almost every lich they encountered was surrounded by this rolling fog.

The black mist appeared behind the Nakma Demon Army, and the image of the lich suddenly appeared in Roy's mind...

The great magicians were also obviously aware of this situation. The magicians in the rest area on the second floor of the magic cabin looked at each other in bewilderment, and everyone whispered a name at the same time: "Lich..."

Oppaiya decisively terminated the "vision technique", and then she quickly recited the spell, and a clearer picture appeared on the magic crystal ball. At this moment, only a small part of the picture of the Dragon's Throat Expeditionary Camp was left on the crystal ball, but the fierce battle between the priests and the Nakma demons was clearer.

The Nakma Demon Legion appeared clearly in the magic crystal ball. At this time, the swirling black fog in the crystal ball and the lich with a skull exposed from the black fog also appeared in the sight of the great magicians.

"Lich..."

The great magicians once again uttered a low cry at the same time, which directly stopped the magic cabin, and the great magician on the observation deck ran down the stairs.

Of course, discovering a lich must be reported to Mage Elaud immediately.

However, Magister Elaud did not order an immediate return to the battlefield of the Dragon's Throat Expeditionary Camp, but instead had the magic wooden house hide in a very shallow rift in front.

At this time, Oppaia also went to the six-person small meeting room of the magicians...

Not long after, Oppaia walked out of the six-person conference room holding her magic crystal ball, and also brought back the order from Grand Mage Cedric:
The magic cabin waited in place, and all magicians had to calmly observe the situation in the Dragon's Throat...

So a group of great magicians gathered around the magic crystal ball, paying close attention to the battlefield in front of them.

……

In the Dragon's Throat expedition camp, a group of weak priests huddled together, holding hammers and shields in their hands. All the priests formed a human wall. At this moment, the only gate had been broken. The Nakma demon warriors passed through the gate of the Dragon's Throat and charged towards the expedition camp in groups.

The priests who had lost their divine powers seemed very vulnerable in front of this group of Nakma demon warriors. Every time they swung their wrist swords, the Nakma demon warriors would be stained with the blood splattered from the priests.

The fighting on the battlefield was extremely brutal, and the priests were beaten back step by step by the Nakma demon warriors.

Behind the Nakma demon warrior, there was a black fog that could not be dissipated. Several magicians were observing through crystal balls to see how many liches were hiding in the black fog.

Just now, two lich heads suddenly emerged from the black fog...

The magicians discovered that the Nakma Demon Legion did not seem to be rushing into the Dragon's Throat Expeditionary Camp in an endless stream, and their numbers were also very limited.

The lich hid in the thick black fog, which obscured the entire rear of the Nakma demon army...

There are many priests in the camp, but they do not have the power of holy light.

When fighting, the priests are no different from ordinary first-level warriors, and are even weaker than ordinary first-level warriors.

However, Roy discovered that the number of these Nakma demon warriors on the battlefield was becoming less and less.

Because when these priests are about to die, their bodies will emit extremely hot holy light, and the ground beneath their feet will ignite a holy flame. Those holy flames are ignited by the priests by consuming their last bit of vitality. It is also difficult for the Nakma demon warriors to extinguish this holy flame once they are contaminated by it.

"At the end of their lives, they burned out the last bit of their faith and were able to die together with the Nakma demon warriors."

Magister Elaud sighed softly.

He appeared behind the crowd and watched the situation in the Dragon's Throat Expeditionary Camp with everyone else.

As the earth shook violently, a Nakma demon commander as big as a mammoth appeared in front of the gate of the Dragon's Throat Expeditionary Camp.

A group of priests stood up in the camp and rushed towards the Nakma Demon General.

Before they even reached the gate, they were chopped into two by the fighting spirit unleashed by the long-handled battle axe swung by the Nakma Demon Overlord...

This group of priests fell in a pool of blood at the gate.
