Chapter 1066: Exposed early
Chapter 1066: Exposed early
After coming back from the surprise of those golems suddenly appearing like this, Klein quickly gave the order to attack.
The wyverns stopped using their breaths on the rest of the undead horde and started focusing the firepower on the golems.
It was just that these flame breaths never reached the golems.
Before they could reach them, there was more movement from the undead horde.
Just like a few days ago, the undead started gathering together in one mass. Only this time, they didn’t come together in the form of a hand.
This time, they formed a wall over the golems that were at the wall.
These were walls that completely blocked the flame breaths that fell down at the golems. With how thick the walls were, not a single bit of the flames reached the golems in the end.
It seemed that the lich didn’t care about the undead at all, as long as these golems were safe.
It seemed that the lich only cared about destroying the walls with these golems.
That just went to show how intelligent this lich was.
After all, without the walls, there was no doubt that we would be at a disadvantage.
First, there was the large number difference.
Second, there was the difference in fear of death.
The undead didn’t have a fear of death since they were undead in the first place, but the same couldn’t be said of the guards that were on the walls. They were living beings, so they naturally feared death.
Third, if there was nothing stopping them, there was a difference in strength between the guards and the undead.
The undead were strengthened by the dark magic of the lich, so they were stronger than the average person.
The average person would find it hard just to face a single undead, let alone a horde that even had golems in them.
Without the wall, the guards would be completely overrun by the undead horde that was here. So we couldn’t allow the golems to break down the walls.
It was just that no matter how the wyverns fired the flame breaths down at the golems, it never reached since there were always walls of undead that formed to protect the golems. It seemed that everything that we could do was considered useless against these walls.
Unless we went down, it didn’t seem like it was likely that we would be able to take care of these golems.
But the moment that we went down, that would mean that we would fall into the trap of the lich.
The lich must know that we wouldn’t be able to take care of the golems without bringing the wyverns down. The wyverns were the things that the lich was the most wary of since they posed the greatest danger to the lich.
The wyverns were strong enough to even hurt the lich since they were both S Ranked Monsters.
That was why it was using this strategy to bring down the wyverns.
A wyvern that was grounded was only half as strong since the main power of the wyvern came from their mobility that came from their ability to fly.
If they didn’t have this mobility, there was no doubt that they would be easy pickings for the undead.
That was why we couldn’t bring the wyverns down to deal with the golems.
But at this rate, it seemed like it would only be a matter of time before the walls were destroyed by the golems.
When that time came…
Klein gritted his teeth when he saw the way that the undead formed walls to protect the golems.
He could hear the sounds coming from below even if the walls of undead blocked his field of view. He knew that time was ticking down and he had no choice but to make a decision.
It was just that he had no idea what the right decision was.
“Boom!”
With one more sound hitting deep into his heart, Klein finally came to a decision.
“Half, we’ll split ourselves into half.”
Everyone trembled when they heard this, but there wasn’t a single person that had a confused look on their face. Every single one of them knew exactly what he was planning to do by dividing them in half like this.
What Klein was basically saying was that he was asking for half of them to volunteer to sacrifice themselves.
They would be the ones that would have to go down and deal with the golems while the rest provided support from above. Though the ones that went down would no doubt fall into the trap of the lich.
They would have to deal with whatever the lich was planning and possibly even die from falling to the trap.
But doing this was the only way to ensure that the wall was safe.
Everyone had grim looks on their faces after this since no one wanted to die.
However, they also knew that they had to choose half of them to go down in the end or they would all die.
One by one, it seemed like they were about to volunteer for the task.
Before they could do that though, I suddenly said, “There’s no need for that.”
Klein looked at me with a serious look.
It wasn’t as if he couldn’t understand where I was coming from, but he knew that this was the only way.
“This isn’t the only way.” I said this as if I could guess what Klein was thinking, which surprised him.
Though it wasn’t that hard to figure out what he was thinking with the look on his face.
After saying this, I said, “We’ll just expose what we’ve been doing in the past three days.” Klein deeply knitted his brows when he heard this before shaking his head to say, “It’s too
early for…”
Before he could finish, I cut him off by saying, “You’re forgetting what the real important
thing is.”
“Real important thing?” Klein asked in a confused voice.
With a nod, I said, “The wyverns, the wyverns are the things that matter the most to our kingdom and to this battle.”
There was a look on Klein’s face as if he was slowly being enlightened.
