Elzam: "What do you think?"
Wang: "Use the floating city to directly press it down from the sky, crush all the embassies, legions, and portals, and then the salvation team will kill the lich handsomely."
Elzam was silent for a second and replied: "It's feasible."
Wang pulled a skeleton from the side and put his "helmet" on the skull's head. Then the skull on the "helmet" overlapped with the skull on the skeleton itself. It looked like a high-level undead creature. .
Then he took off his robe and put it on the skull, then picked up the two skeleton arms that he had just put down when he took off his clothes and handed them to the skeleton: "Then you can play by yourself, I will go back to arrange everything. The floating city needs time. Floating over, you first let your undead army trap the Catalans.
"If the offense is not good, then the defense is always okay?"
Elzam: "I have been a lich for so many years and have planned so many undead army marches. This is the first time I have commanded an undead army in a defensive battle."
The king raised his eyebrows. The lich spoke telepathically, so he could also feel some emotions from the lich's words. For example, now he felt that Elzam was a little eager to try.
He didn't care too much and took out the speaking stone to contact Rosalie.
As soon as he took it out, Rosalie responded. It could be seen that Rosalie had been holding the sound stone, waiting for it to vibrate: "King?"
Wang: "Are you done over there?"
Rosalie: "It's over. The casualties haven't been counted yet, but the enemy has been eliminated."
Wang: "Ask Xiaobai to pick me up. I want to return directly to the Floating City."
Rosalie didn't ask why: "Roger that."
**
An hour later, Xiaobai drove Wang back to the floating city. After landing, she immediately changed back and shouted: "I can't stand it anymore! I've really become an errand boy!"
Wang: "You go eat meat and have a good rest. I won't have anything to do with you from now on."
"Don't make it sound like the meat is your reward, I saved it myself!" Xiaobai complained.
Wang: "Be good, there is still one last way to go. Take me to the control room on the third underground floor."
Xiaobai pouted: "You just asked me to eat meat?"
"My, my, run."
Xiaobai carried Wang on his back and ran. At this time, there were many sailors from merchant ships on the floating island. The scene of Wang riding the little girl with a wolf tail was so outrageous that it attracted crowds of people to watch, but the "old residents" of the floating island were already used to it.
Rosalie was directing everyone in front of the defense unit in the center of the island - the statue of the god - when she saw the king coming from a distance and asked, "What's wrong? Are you coming back in such a hurry?"
Wang: "Immortal..."
He looked around and suddenly changed his tune.
King: "The undead army appears in Catalai! The situation is very critical. We must use the floating island to suppress the lich!"
Originally, he wanted to say that the undead army surrounded the Catalan Legion but was unable to attack, so he planned to use the floating island to crush the portal that served as the Legion's logistics source. But in the current situation, saying this is basically equivalent to the official declaration that "we are colluding with the lich."
So "crushing the Catalan embassy and destroying the portal" became "crushing the center of the undead army and destroying the lich".
Rosalie blinked and asked, "Do you want me to remove the 'outsiders' currently floating on the island?"
Obviously, although Rosalie didn't know the details, she roughly guessed what was going on.
Wang: "This battle is very dangerous. We may have to face the Lich's undead army and the invading Catalan soldiers at the same time. We must let all the sailors hired to work on the island get off the island."
Several merchant ship owners around him breathed a sigh of relief. The attack by the Sphinx Knights from Catalonia today had already killed many of their men. It would be too miserable to be led into battle with the undead army again.
They had long been looking for an opportunity to run away, but they didn't expect that the captain of the rescue team would be so reasonable now!
Then a captain said: "The matter is very important, and we are willing to stand on the same front with the rescue team to fight against the undead!"
Wang did not hear the captain's true thoughts, and quickly shook his head and refused: "No, no, you have done a lot, you can go, just leave the rest to us."
Rosalie interrupted Wang: "Just leave the negotiation with you to me. You can quickly go to the central control center to control the floating city. I will ensure that everyone gets off the ship before taking off."
Wang nodded and patted Xiaobai's head: "Let's go underground."
Xiaobai: "Have you finished talking? I'm going to run away?"
"Run!"

Catalan Embassy, library. General Tullius's temporary command post has now become the joint command post of the two armies. General Borman of the second army crossed his arms and looked at the scene outside the window.
"It's so weird, the undead seem to be on the defensive, as if they want to trap us in the area surrounding the embassy."
General Tullius walked to General Boman: "There are indeed such signs. Maybe the undead creatures are waiting for their army to become stronger. After all, they can kill civilians to increase themselves. The stronger the aura of death around, the more powerful the undead army will be. The stronger.”
General Boman looked at Tullius: "In this case, the religious order of the national master can't provide serious help, holy smoke? I have never heard of any orthodox church using such an unknown thing to fight against the undead." Is Genora really a true god?"
General Tullius was shocked: "Hush! Don't die! Although there are soldiers in this room, the partition wall has ears!"
The higher-ups of the cult were standing nearby guarding the portal, which literally means "the walls have ears."
General Boman: "What else can they do to my dignified legion commander? Besides, I am not the only one who is dissatisfied with the national division and his religious order. I will say the same thing again when the third legion arrives. Or, General Tullius, have you become a loyal dog of the Order?"
Tullius: "How do you say this? My allegiance is always to the Catalan Empire, not to a certain national teacher. But you see, the state religion has indeed made Catalan stronger. In the past, we had to farm to barely maintain the existence of the army. , now they can train every day, and they have turned from field soldiers into real standing soldiers.
"Which of the surrounding countries is not afraid of getting three points when mentioning Catalonia?"
Boman: "Hmph. If the purpose of the National Master is really to destroy the world as claimed by the Salvation Team, would you still say that?"
Tullius was shocked: "General! Don't say this nonsense!"
The news of the Salvation Team had already reached Catalonia, and some people who opposed the national division immediately took it as their example. If the crisis entered the next stage as predicted by the Salvation Team, these people would probably start an attack immediately.
Just as Boman was about to speak, a messenger rushed in: "Communications from the country, other legions need time to come from the garrison. His Majesty ordered us to stand by and wait for reinforcements."
Boman frowned and naturally turned the topic to the order he had just received: "Defend? How can this be done? The undead army is defending and massacring civilians to buy time. They will get stronger and stronger if it continues."
Tullius: "General, not only did you speak rudely to the imperial advisor, but you also disobeyed orders?"
Boman shut up.
At this time, the regional director of the Order - the former regional director Odolph entered the library.
All the soldiers present felt as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
Oudolf: "Don't be nervous, I didn't hear anything. I'm here to convey to you the information just returned by the spies. The floating island has taken off again, and the mission of the two of them to seize the floating island cannot be completed for the time being. ."
The two generals looked at each other.
Oudolf: "The good news is that it may land again. It is said that the Salvation Team is preparing to use the floating island landing attack to destroy the core of the current undead army."
Tullius was overjoyed: "Does that mean it will fall in front of us? Great, let's take it down in one go while it falls!"
**
Lich Elzam was muttering to himself at this time: "What's going on? Why doesn't the legion attack? I just set up the formation!"
The skeleton that now acted as his body paced back and forth under his control.
"Oh, it would be boring if the enemy stopped attacking. How about killing some civilians to strengthen the army? This way, the salvation team will look more upright if they kill me. After all, if we take stock of the situation after the battle, we find an undead army. If the civilians were not killed, that must be suspicious.”
He said this without any joking.
After all, for the Lich, death and massacre are all trivial and not worth caring about.
The long career of a lich has long changed Erzam's perception.
He has long lost his respect for life.
So he agreed happily and without any burden: "Okay, let's kill!"
