Volume 5: Protracted War Chapter 128 Conspiracy (2)
But what I find strange is that the Bat Demon Tika is a member of the vampire bat clan, and has a very tense relationship with the Blood Lich clan. They should be enemies, but the Blood Lich did not hurry up and escape, but actually stopped, stood there and turned around to look over here. I was really puzzled. Could it be that it recognized the origin of the Bat Demon Tika, knew it was no match for him, and so was willing to surrender?
" Such an important battle is related to the development of our vampire bat clan. Although I am restricted by the law of the dead and cannot directly participate in it, I still have the freedom to sneak in and watch the battle."
It turns out that it didn't come here on purpose to help me. So, I still have to deal with those dozen blood witches. My heart sank, and I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Then I thought about the words it shouted when it appeared. After thinking about it carefully, I suddenly had a question, "Douglas was killed by them, and the royal robe was also taken away by them. I wonder why Lord Dicka stopped me from taking it back?"
"I don't mean anything else. I just don't want to cause unnecessary fighting and irreconcilable hatred due to a misunderstanding. Come, brother A'dai, I'll introduce you to a friend." As soon as he finished speaking, he walked towards the Blood Witch first .
The inexplicable words, coupled with the fact that the blood lich suddenly stopped running when the bat demon Tika appeared, added to my doubts. Is there something fishy going on? Now that the fourth wizard king Gravison and the blood lich Douglas have both been defeated, the basic purpose of cooperation has been achieved. Could it be that they want to cross the river and burn the bridge, and secretly plot against me? To become the overlord of a region, it can be said that none of them is easy to deal with. They should all be those who want to take advantage and are unwilling to suffer losses. When dealing with them, you really need to be more careful. However, I don't doubt that the bat demon Tika will take the opportunity to kill me. This basic integrity should still be there. Besides, if they want to kill me, just now is the opportunity. If they launch a surprise attack, I have no power to resist.
After a slight hesitation, I couldn't show weakness to the Bat Demon Tika, so I had to let the Shaman and the others stay where they were, and I followed alone. In this way, even if the blood witch suddenly attacked, I would have the confidence to escape successfully with the ability of "external incarnation". I wanted to see what tricks it was playing. I walked straight to the blood lich, which made me more cautious and alert, ready to escape at any time if there was any unusual movement.
"This is the 'God-defying' of the low-level zombies and skeletons. He was once the first corpse king and now holds the title of the fourth wizard king. He is the undead wizard Ah Dai who commands many elite soldiers and generals." The bat demon Tika and the other party are indeed acquaintances. He first introduced me to the blood lich who "cut in line" and then began to introduce it, "This is the great blood wizard. Oh, now it should be the new blood lich Temur."
Humph, I felt unhappy after hearing that. According to what the bat demon Dika said, it was obvious that he acknowledged that the other party had usurped the throne from me. Wouldn't that be a big disadvantage for me? "Wait, Lord Dika has been watching the scene for a long time, so he naturally knows what happened. This Temur intervened and took the position of the blood lich that was about to be captured by me, and even tried to escape. Since I am familiar with Lord Dika, I will not pursue his fault, but the imperial robe should be returned to me." I said it directly, wanting to see how the bat demon Dika would deal with it.
The bat demon Dika laughed dryly, "Brother Ah Dai, don't be angry. Brother Temur is not an outsider. We have always had a good relationship. He attaches great importance to peace and friendship between the two tribes. Like you, he is also a loyal ally of our vampire bat tribe. He is a powerful blood wizard and could have been promoted to the royal family. However, because he was dissatisfied with Douglas's militaristic policies and dictatorial rule, he had always opposed him and was brutally suppressed. He almost died several times. Now he only has a dozen supporters around him. Much of the information I got about Douglas was provided by him, so it can be said that he has made an indelible contribution. This time, he was entrusted by me to come and help you to deal with Douglas together."
This is complete nonsense. What's the point of helping me? He is clearly here to usurp the fruits of victory. My face immediately fell. "So, Lord Dika supports Temur in occupying the position of blood lich and refuses to return it to me?"
"Brother Ah Dai, you can't say that. Don't be so one-sided. We are all friends. We can discuss things together."
"Lord Dika, in order to fulfill my promise to you, I spared no expense. Not only did I invest almost all of my main forces, but I also asked several friends to help. After killing the fourth wizard king Gravison, I returned to hunt down Douglas without stopping. For this, at least more than 10,000 Terror Knights were killed and injured. Seeing that success was imminent, this so-called "helper" Temur took advantage of the opportunity and killed him with a dozen of his men, and seized the benefits that originally belonged to me. If I let it go, it would be too unfair, wouldn't it make me pay so much for nothing?" The more he talked, the angrier he became. He secretly ordered the reinforcements to speed up and move here. At the same time, he dispatched 500 Terror Knights to rush over to reinforce to deal with various possible situations. It seems that the bat demon Dika is also a little unreliable. I am afraid that it will be difficult to get a satisfactory result if I expect it to mediate. If it doesn't work, I will delay until the reinforcements arrive and use force to solve them. Anyway, Temur only has a dozen men in total. Without other reinforcements, it can be easily killed. Even if the bat demon Tika intentionally favors the other side, it cannot directly intervene in the war. As long as I can kill Temur and succeed the blood lich, and gain control of the "Blood Pool", I don't have to worry about it tearing its face and causing trouble for me in the future.
Thinking deeply, maybe this is also a conspiracy of the bat demon Tika, who deliberately does not want me to become a blood lich and gain control of the "blood pool". After all, the necromancer is theoretically qualified to sign a "soul contract" with all undead creatures. As the strength becomes stronger and stronger, it will also pose a threat to those tyrannical beings, and even have the ability to control a race. The bat demon Tika is very clear about the nature and characteristics of our profession as necromancers. Cooperating with us is like seeking the skin of a tiger, and it may cost itself. Although it gave me the "First Embrace", in order to keep the ability of "blood bat transformation", I can't kill it, but it has the potential to influence and control the vampire bat clan. If the control of the "blood pool" is handed over to me, it is actually equivalent to suppressing the "blood pool" in disguise. Maybe it is safe now, but there may be many troubles in the future. Perhaps this is its real intention to launch Temur and seize the position of blood lich that I am about to get.
