Chapter 1065: Golems
Chapter 1065: Golems
Three days passed with the two sides just glaring at each other like this.
It didn't seem like the lich was planning to do anything and as long as it remained inactive, that was actually a good thing for us.
The longer that it stayed like this, the more time that I would have to do what I was planning to do.
Other than eating and sleeping, I spent most of my time with the Orb of the Dead in my hand.
There was no doubt that all of this dark energy being channeled by me wasn't doing my body any good, but it wasn't as if I could stop now. This would be an important thing for our fight against the lich later, so it wasn't as if I could stop.
On the fourth day, that was when there was finally movement that came from the undead horde.
The undead horde that had remained still during these past few days finally started to move.
When they started to move, they didn't hold back at all.
The horde suddenly started to charge at the wall without any warning.
If it wasn't for the guards that were watching from the wall, we would have missed this sudden change from the undead horde. But since they were watching, we were immediately alerted of the change with the undead horde and everyone rushed up to fight.
As for the royal guards, they all mounted their wyverns and took to the sky.
The wyverns were the biggest support that we had, so they had to be used wisely.
As such, they were being sent into the sky to shoot their flame breaths down at the horde that instantly turned the undead on the ground into ashes.
Only as they were flying through the air, all of the wyverns were being cautious.
They didn't dare get too close to the ground and they even alternated who fired their flame breaths down at the undead. They didn't dare fire their flame breaths all at once, as if they were wary of something.
They were scared of the possibility that there would be bone spears that would suddenly fly through the air at them and catch them off guard.
They were afraid of the lich that was hiding inside of the undead horde.
The lich was strong enough to threaten the wyverns after all, so they didn't dare be careless without sight of the lich.
So even if the wyverns were providing cover fire, the undead horde were still able to make their way closer to the wall. There were just too many of them that the flames weren't able to burn them all.
The ones that were behind the ones that were being burnt were able to use them as protection while they approached the walls.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
As such, the undead horde were eventually able to reach the walls.
It was just that it didn't seem like they were able to do anything while they were in front of this wall. The undead weren't strong enough to break through the walls and the ones on the wall were shooting down at the undead, which stopped them from climbing.
All at the same time, the flame breaths were still falling down on the undead from above.
With the way that they were trapped here, it really seemed like they were lambs to the slaughter.
It didn't seem like the undead would be able to do anything.
"It wouldn't just send its puppets forward to die like this, there must be some kind of plan." I said to myself as I watched the undead horde throwing themselves at the wall like this without care.
I was watching from above on Joan's back, but Joan was the only one that wasn't attacking.
In fact, Klein had forbidden Joan from attacking.
She only had a single mission which was to keep me safe.
Watching the undead horde from above, I knew that there was something wrong with the way that they were acting. It was just that I couldn't put my finger on what exactly was wrong...
That was until there was movement that came from the undead horde.
It was the second line of undead that reached the wall that this movement came from.
The first line had already been killed by the flame breaths and the arrows that fell down from above. They had been completely used as bait for all of the attacks that came at them.
When the second line of undead reached the wall, there were some gaps that suddenly appeared among them. These gaps weren't just simple gaps, but holes that had been created to allow certain things to move out from behind the undead.
The undead had been completely surrounding these things and had been keeping them hidden the entire time.
These were large masses of undead flesh that suddenly appeared from behind the other undead.
These were hulking things that seemed like they were tanks that were filled with power. The moment that I saw them, I immediately recognized what these things were. Golems, these were golems.
They were a higher form of undead that could be created by liches, but I never thought that the lich would have taken this time to prepare them. After all, while golems were powerful, they also took a lot of energy to form.
I never thought that the lich would waste this mana just to summon these liches.
But in this kind of battle, the golems really did make the perfect soldiers.
They were the best troops to have when trying to destroy a wall like this.
One golem made their way forward and smashed its fist right into the wall.
The wall held for now, but there were cracks that formed in the wall which showed just how strong that single blow from the golem was.
If these golems were left alone to wail on the wall, there was no doubt that this wall would
break very quickly.
Something had to be done about these golems.
