Volume 5: Protracted War Chapter 127 Conspiracy (1)
At the same time as Douglas died, the blood-colored golden robe he was wearing suddenly emitted a faint golden light, fell off by itself, flew into the air, and floated directly towards the dozen blood witches. When it was above their heads, it slowly rotated, and the golden light became brighter and brighter, and shot out a beam of light, covering them all. The dozen blood witches immediately dispersed quickly, leaving only the tallest guy standing there, with his hands raised high, staring at the blood-colored golden robe flying over, and constantly making rhythmic strange noises like "ho ho". The rest of the blood witches all formed a circle around the tall blood witch, prostrating themselves on the ground, motionless, as if they were worshiping devoutly.
After a while, the light beam from the bloody golden robe gradually shrank, and finally concentrated on the tall blood wizard standing directly below, condensing into a beam of light, and its own rotation speed became faster and faster. Suddenly, the golden light suddenly became stronger, and the eyes were blurred, and then the light suddenly shrank, and the bloody golden robe disappeared from the air and attached to the tall blood wizard. Suddenly, the tall blood wizard waved his arms vigorously in the air, and let out a sharp "wow" scream, twisting his body, and even his legs almost wanted to jump up, obviously due to excessive excitement and some hysterical symptoms, and the dozen or so blood wizards crawling around him also straightened their upper bodies one after another, raised their hands high, and looked up at the tall blood wizard who was "wearing the imperial robe" and screamed repeatedly.
I was confused by a series of sudden events. How could the reinforcements that were supposed to be Douglas's troops turn around and take his life? Are these dozen blood wizards enemies or friends? Which group do they belong to? Other undead wizards, or NPC monsters? I didn't know how to react. When I woke up from my confusion and realized that something was wrong, the bloody golden robe had already been draped on the tall blood wizard, and Douglas's blood lich throne had fallen into the hands of others.
I was so angry. What was this? My victory was so easily usurped? I invested almost all my troops and paid a heavy price to force Douglas to the end of the road. If it had been delayed for a few more minutes, he would have been dead. It was because of the appearance of these dozen blood witches that Douglas's desperate heart was aroused. He escaped so far, which gave these "third parties" who suddenly appeared an opportunity to take advantage of it and get a ready-made big bargain without any effort. If they hadn't intervened, the bloody golden robe would definitely be mine, and the throne of the blood lich should also be mine. Now I have nothing, but at least more than 10,000 horror knights have been sacrificed for this. What can I use to compensate for the huge loss? I failed to obtain the jurisdiction of the "Blood Pool", the holy land of the blood witch clan. Have I fulfilled my promise to the bat demon Tika?
Even a clay figure has a temper, not to mention that I have never suffered such a big loss. The more I think about it, the angrier I am. This matter must not end like this. Isn't it just a dozen blood witches? I immediately issued an order to dispatch 500 horror knights, including more than 100 horror bull knights, to come to support. As long as we can hold them back for a while and wait for the reinforcements to arrive, we will have enough strength to deal with them. At the same time, let Shaman and his men be on guard and prepare for battle to see what the dozen blood witches will do next. It would be best if they can continue to "celebrate" like this, so as not to force me to attack immediately. With the little strength around me, it is not enough to confront a dozen elite blood witches led by a new blood lich.
However, the reality went against my wishes. The Blood Lich quickly stopped the "New Emperor Inauguration Celebration Ceremony" and, as if I didn't exist, walked directly towards the "Blood Pool" with his men. Naturally, I couldn't just let them leave like that, but after the initial impulse and anger, I regained some of my rationality. Until the last moment, I was still reluctant to leave them alone and take risks, which would lead to greater losses. With the purpose of delaying time, I shouted at the blood lich: "I am the fourth witch king, Ah Dai. Who are you and why do you rashly intervene and usurp my spoils? If you refuse to communicate, you will be regarded as my enemy and I will attack you. Even if you can escape this time, I will be fully prepared in the future and will lead a large army to attack the holy land of your blood witch clan, the 'Blood Pool', and swear to seek justice from you." Even if I knew I couldn't win, I would never give in. In the "Dead Space", the strong are respected. It is useless to just ask for sympathy or mercy from others without the support of strength. Blood witches have relatively high IQs, and those who can succeed as blood liches must not be stupid. I believe they can understand the consequences of this matter. It all depends on how they choose.
The blood lich paused for a moment after hearing what I said, but continued to move forward. It seemed that it was not affected by my empty threats and chose to resolutely protect its vested interests. I was disappointed, but it was no wonder. If it were me, I would probably make the same decision as it did. Now that things have come to this, I have no way to retreat. Unless I am willing to suffer this loss, I can only try my best to fight and see if I can delay a little time until the reinforcements arrive.
Fifty-three Ghost Kings appeared from the sky, forming a formation and emitting a "Soul-stealing Wind" to obstruct the actions of the Blood Witches. As long as Xiaobai was safe, it would not matter even if all these Ghost Kings were lost. The few surviving Terror Knights around them also launched a "Flash Combo" and rushed forward. Shaman, Taotao and the others also got into combat positions, hovering above the Blood Witches, waiting for their chance to strike. No matter what they did, they would not be allowed to retreat easily.
As the battle was about to break out, I suddenly heard a call, "Brother Ah Dai, don't be impulsive, stop for now and listen to me." As soon as the voice fell, a bloody golden bat fell rapidly from the sky and flew in front of me and transformed into a human form. It happened suddenly and quickly. I was caught off guard and had no time to react. I was immediately scared to death - if it was an enemy surprise attack, it would be terrible. Fortunately, the other party did not have any malicious actions, but just stood there facing me. After calming down a little, I looked carefully and found that it was an old acquaintance, the bat demon Dika, an ally of the vampire bat clan.
"Lord Dika, why are you here?" Although it felt that the Bat Demon Dika's arrival was a bit abrupt, and he stopped me from attacking, and the meaning of his words was a bit strange, but after all, he was one of my own, which was equivalent to adding a strong ally. Anyway, the little strength I had now would not be a match for the blood lich. I immediately ordered them to stop and retreat back to my side to see how the Bat Demon Dika would deal with this unexpected change. If it was willing to take action personally, with its unfathomable strength , it might be able to deal with the dozen or so blood witches including the newly born blood lich by itself.
