Chapter 1062: Lich (1)
Before the bone spear could hit anyone, Klein reacted.
He had his wyvern fly forward and then suddenly started to spin to everyone's surprise.
But it turned out that he had a plan.
With the spin, his wyvern was able to redirect the bone spear that was flying at them with a spinning slash of its claws. It seemed that it was quite used to doing this, which showed that Klein had been doing some training on his own.
Though there was blood that came from the wyvern's claw after slashing at the bone spear, which showed how strong the bone spear was.
Whatever had shot this bone spear wasn't weak.
After taking care of this spear, Klein immediately said, "Retreat."
There was no hesitation in his voice and there was no room for arguing either.
The way that he said this was almost as if he was giving a command, but when it came to this situation, he was more than qualified to give a command even if it was to me who was the king.
He was the captain of the royal guards and the one that was in charge of our safety, so in a dangerous situation, he would be the one to take charge.
Only...
It didn't seem like the other side was planning on letting us go that easily.
"It's too late." I said with a sigh.
That was because with the Orb of the Dead, I was able to sense the fluctuations that were coming from in front of us. That was how I had been able to detect the bone spear that flew through the air.
At the same time, it was how I was able to tell that there were several more that were coming in our direction.
But this time, the other royal guards were able to react and we were able to fly out of the way of the bone spears without a problem. At the same time, there were a few fire breaths that were launched in the direction that the bone spears came from.
After all, it was moving so slow that it wasn't a challenge to dodge out of the way at all.
But this just went to show that there was someone who was in full control of the undead.
If we were able to find that person, then we would be able to figure out why this undead horde was marching on our kingdom.
"We're retreating." Klein said once more.
It seemed that even though he was curious about who the one attacking our kingdom was, he wasn't about to risk all of our lives just to get this information. At the end of the day, he was still the captain of the royal guards and he had his duty.
There were more bone spikes that flew through the air and the undead horde tried to chase after us while we ran away, but the mobility of the wyverns easily allowed us to dodge
everything.
It was only when we approached the walls that their attacks seemed to slow.
It seemed that there was a certain line that they weren't willing to cross just yet.
But at the same time, there was an icy voice that rang out, "You're running already? You're
the ones that tried to challenge my authority and you're running like rats?"
This voice was a voice that seemed to be filled with the essence of death.
It was a voice that seemed like it could take one's soul just from listening to it.
Looking in the distance, we saw where this voice was coming from.
There was a large skeleton that was different from the rest of the undead standing among the horde.
A lich.
It was a lich.
