Path of light

Chapter 659 660. Lich and Demon Commander

Six pieces of Nakma demon corpses were placed side by side in front of the magic cabin. The corpses began to slowly decay and the stench spread. Almost all the magicians who were watching covered their mouths and noses.

The remaining ice and snow around had not completely melted, and the surroundings were filled with a strong dark atmosphere.

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

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

Mage Elaud heard the order of Grand Mage Cedric and began to arrange for the Grand Mage to control the steel Golem to turn around.

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

Mage Joyce stood aside and whispered to Grand Mage Cedric.

Grand Magister Cedric shook his head without even thinking about it, rejecting Joyce's proposal.

The other Magisters naturally did not dare to raise any opinions.

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 words of the magicians.

This was the outskirts of the Fourth Expeditionary Force camp. Before the Magic Cabin arrived at the Dragon's Throat Expeditionary Force camp, it encountered the Nakma demons, the natives of the Dark Land.

Roy estimated that they should be a patrol team.

The appearance of this Nakma demon patrol team indicated that there would definitely be a Nakma demon army around.

Because of this, Grand Magister Cedric made the decision to "not move forward with the Magic Cabin". In order to ensure that the Magic Cabin was not followed by other Nakma demons, Grand Magister Cedric also sent Grand Magister Opia to the Dragon's Throat camp to investigate the situation there.

...

Soon, the great magician Oppaia returned to the magic cabin. Her face was a little 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. Oppaia calmed down her slightly flustered mood 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 in the Brinniya Expeditionary Camp. It was very comprehensively marked, and even the military area and living area in the camp were clearly distinguished.

Oppaia stood behind the magician Jonas. It was not until the magician Jonas glanced at her that Oppaia spoke:

"The Nakma demons are currently attacking the fourth expeditionary camp... the Dragon's Throat."

This sentence immediately opened the eyes of all the magicians who were meditating in the conference room.

Everyone guessed that the Nakma demon army was likely hiding nearby, but they did not expect that the Nakma demons were attacking the Dragon's Throat Expeditionary Camp.

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

If it is more serious, the surrounding area may be full of Nakma demon army...

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

But Grand Magician 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 army.

So, Grand Magician Cedric decided to retreat the same way, and search for liches in other places after being away from the battlefield.

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

...

Roy did not 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 Corps 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 Corps in the Dark Land has never organized an effective counterattack. The Nakma Demons initially used the extended logistics supply line of the Temple Expeditionary Force to resolve the first two overwhelming attacks of the Temple Expeditionary Force...

Now, a Nakma Demon Corps 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 blow the horn of counterattack?

A group of great magicians gathered in the rest area on the second floor to discuss this matter. Roy, who always disliked crowds, also gathered with everyone to discuss the current situation of the Dragon's Throat Expeditionary Force camp...

Most magicians agreed with the decision of Grand Mage Cedric, thinking that it was the right time to withdraw now. If it was earlier or later, it might be difficult to get away.

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...

Although the magic wooden house turned around and walked back under the traction of the steel golem, a group of magicians still couldn't help their curiosity. In addition to going to the battlefield to observe the situation in person, the magicians' reconnaissance methods can actually cast spells to explore the situation on the battlefield.

It's just that this magic skill has a very limited observation area and requires a relatively clear relative coordinate position, so it is not a very practical magic skill. 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 has seriously studied this long-distance reconnaissance magic-'Boundary Vision'.

A group of great magicians sat on the sofa. Roy stood behind the great magician Grams and stared at the crystal ball on the coffee table.

He actually had 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 fortune-telling device, but Roy had never used it until now.

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

Roy was confused at first, but when a white mist began to emerge from the magic crystal ball, and when the mist gradually dissipated, a scene appeared in the magic crystal ball.

It was a ruined camp. The most eye-catching part of the camp was the arch formed by the mandible of a huge dragon head.

Behind the arch was a densely packed tent area. It was unknown how long these tents had been built. A thick layer of dust fell on the surface, and some canvases even had some holes. The priests in the camp looked like ants. They picked up their weapons and rushed out of the camp.

At the edge of the crystal ball display area, a group of Nakma demon warriors were seen. These Nakma demons 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 wearing dark and tough armor, wielding sharp battle blades in their hands, and looked like terrifying killing machines.

Countless priests who rushed out of the camp fell on the battlefield. The Nakma demon army in front of them was completely slaughtering the priests in front of them.

The great magician Grams wiped his forehead with his hand, cursed, stood up from the sofa, and went straight to the window, unwilling to look at the crystal ball any more...

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 create some trouble for them. We are not really afraid of them..."

"I can't stand it anymore, I'm going to go out for 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 more blurred..."

Although Oppaia said so, she still cooperated very well.

"It doesn't matter, pull it away a little... Look, come and take a closer look, what is the black fog behind the Nakma demon army?" 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 attracted to it...

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

Roy's scalp tingled a little, but then he realized that this black fog looked familiar.

When they were in Haiti, almost every lich they met was surrounded by this rolling fog.

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

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

Opeya decisively terminated this "vision" and then quickly recited the spell. A clearer picture appeared on the magic crystal ball. At this moment, only a small part of the picture of the Dragon Throat Expeditionary Army Camp on the crystal ball remained, but the fierce battle between the priests and the Nakma Demons was clearer.

The Nakma Demon Army appeared clearly in the magic crystal ball. At this time, the rolling 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 whispered at the same time, which directly stopped the magic wooden house, and the great magician on the observation deck ran down the stairs.

Of course, the discovery of the lich should be reported to Magister Elaud immediately.

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

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

Not long after, Oppaia walked out of the six-person meeting room holding her magic crystal ball, and also brought back the order of Grand Magister Cedric:

The magic cabin waits in place, and all magicians must 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 Expeditionary Camp, a group of weak priests huddled together, holding maces and shields in their hands. All the priests formed a human wall. At this moment, the only gate had been broken, and the Nakma demon warriors passed through the gate of the Dragon's Throat and charged towards the expeditionary camp in groups.

The priests who had lost their divine arts appeared very vulnerable in front of these Nakma demon warriors. Every time they swung their wrist swords, the Nakma demon warriors would be stained with the blood splashed from the priests.

The battle on the battlefield was extremely tragic, and the priests were beaten back by these Nakma demon warriors.

Behind the Nakma demon warriors, there was actually a black fog that could not be dissipated. Several magicians had been observing through crystal balls how many liches were hidden in the black fog.

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

The magicians found that the Nakma demon army did not seem to rush into the Dragon's Throat Expeditionary Army camp in an endless stream, and their number was also very limited.

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

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

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

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

Because when these priests were about to die, their bodies would bloom with extremely hot holy light, and the ground under their feet would ignite a piece of holy light flames. Those holy light flames were ignited by the priests who consumed their last bit of vitality. Nakma demon warriors were infected with this holy light flame, and it was also difficult to extinguish.

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

Mage Elaud sighed.

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

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 commander.

Before they reached the gate, they were cut into two pieces by the fighting spirit stimulated by the long-handled battle axe swung by the Nakma demon commander...

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