Chapter 416: Assassination
"Well, almost, maybe a little more, after all, his advantage this time is really too great!" Catherine said helplessly, "Is there any way you can stop him?"
"Yes, now we have such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Lao Xie squinted his eyes and said: "If we do it well, this natural disaster of the undead can be ended in an instant!"
"What?" When Catherine heard this, she suddenly said in surprise: "What opportunity, please tell me?"
"Just kill the Lich King Sorrow!" the old evil man said harshly.
"Ah?" Catherine then said dumbfounded: "Dear, do you have a fever? With our strength, a thousand champion knights, a hundred barbarian warriors, a sword master and a mysterious woman, I’m afraid it’s not enough for the Lich King to deal with with just one hand! What’s more, he is surrounded by experts. It is said that there are dozens of experts in the Holy Domain alone.”
"No, you are wrong!" Lao Xie immediately said: "In the past, these strengths were indeed not enough for the Lich King to take care of himself, but it is different now. The Lich King is now extremely weak and his strength has been greatly reduced. We can still fight.”
"The Lich King's strength has been greatly reduced?" Catherine immediately asked in confusion: "How do you know?"
"Do you even need to ask?" Lao Xie sneered: "Yesterday's earthquake spell was so powerful that it could destroy hundreds of miles of defense lines at once. Even we were greatly affected. It was obviously that This kind of powerful forbidden spell cannot be released casually. Generally speaking, it must rely on the strength of the collective, and the person who presides over it will suffer a great loss of magic power. It is impossible without a certain amount of time. Reply."
"Huh? Are you sure?" Catherine asked excitedly immediately.
"I am more than 80% sure that this is the case!" Lao Xie then said: "Unless the commander of the forbidden curse this time is someone else, and he must also be a legendary master."
"It can't be someone else's command." Catherine affirmed immediately. "Among the undead that attacked this time, only the Lich King himself is a legendary master. None of the other undead monarchs came. This news cannot be wrong!"
"If it is really the Lich King himself who commands, then he must be in a weak state now." Lao Xie immediately said with certainty: "This is absolutely not wrong!"
"So how much do you estimate his strength will drop? Can the troops we have defeat him?" Catherine asked.
"Dealing with the Lich King is not a big problem, but his subordinates are in some trouble. We can't defeat all the undead with more than a thousand people!" Lao Xie said.
"Isn't that nonsense?" Catherine then smiled bitterly and said: "Even if the Lich King is injured. With so many undead armies protecting him, how can we kill him?"
"Of course I'm not talking nonsense!" Lao Xie immediately said solemnly: "I just got the news that the Lich King is anxious to enjoy the fruits of his victory, so he personally led the troops to the front along the path we were walking to supervise the battle. In normal times, it would be impossible for us to rush into the undead army and kill the Lich King, but now we have a very good opportunity, which is to ambush halfway!"
"Ambush?" When Catherine heard this, her eyes immediately lit up.
Lao Xie continued to explain: "The terrain here is extremely complex. As long as we carefully choose a suitable location, we can find an opportunity to directly face the Lich King. And once we assassinate the Lich King here, Then all the undead he controls will be finished!"
The reason why Lao Xie said this is because the control method of the undead troops is different from that of humans. In order to prevent his subordinates from rebelling, each undead monarch will sign a soul contract with his resurrected direct subordinates. This contract clearly stipulates that as long as the master dies in battle, all his subordinates will die immediately. Therefore, as long as Lao Xie can kill the Lich King. That would be equivalent to solving all the undead invading the mainland in disguise, and this time the natural disaster of the undead would be completely over.
After listening to Lao Xie's words, Catherine thought carefully before asking: "Do you think we can kill the Lich King?"
"Of course!" Lao Xie said calmly: "However, it is obviously not a certain thing. I just said that we have this opportunity. As for the probability, there is no way to judge. Because no one knows Do you know the specific extent of the Lich King's injuries? The weaker he is, the higher our chance of success. If he is not injured at all, then our operation can be called a death!"
"But once we succeed, we can instantly understand this undead natural disaster and save tens of millions of lives, right?" Catherine asked.
"Yes!" Lao Xie nodded.
"In this case, I think it is worth the risk for us!" Catherine said solemnly: "It would be gratifying if we succeed. Even if it is a failure. We can also take the opportunity to slow down the Lich King's advancement and fight for those behind us. It’s time to retreat!”
"Yes!" Lao Xie nodded. Said: "I knew you would choose this way, but there is something ugly to say before me. The opponent this time is really not trivial, so I dare not guarantee the safety of anyone, including you and Lan Sinuo!"
"Tell Lan Snow to fly back immediately to report the news. You can leave if you want. Just leave everything else to me!" Catherine said resolutely.
"Haha, silly girl, since I proposed this plan, how could I quit?" Lao Xie said with a smile.
"You, you actually don't have to take risks with me!" Catherine said gratefully: "In fact, you are just implicated by me this time, there is no need to fight to the death with the undead. Besides, you still have My beloved wife is waiting at home, and the Stephen family is waiting for you to inherit. If something happens, I will not feel at ease!"
"Haha, don't worry, even the Lich King can't do anything to me. He doesn't have that ability yet!" Lao Xie smiled and said: "Okay, don't talk about this, let's discuss how to carry out this plan. Go! ”
"We need to call General Blue and the guide to discuss this!" Catherine then said: "But before that, I have to send that annoying little girl away first!"
With that said, Catherine was about to go out. However, Lao Xie immediately stopped her and said, "Wait a minute, what are you going to tell her?"
"What else can I say? Tell the truth, right?" Catherine said.
"That's not possible. If I tell her the truth, this little girl will never miss this fun opportunity!" Lao Xie immediately shook his head.
"It seems that she is really stubborn." Catherine made sense when she heard it, and then hurriedly said: "Then what should I say according to you?"
"Why don't you lie to her and ask her to deliver a message to the third line of defense!" Lao Xie said with a smile: "And tell her solemnly how difficult this task is, and after completing it, she will become a hero or something like that. If so, then she will definitely go and there is no need for you to urge her!”
"You are still cunning!" Catherine smiled, and then she turned and left.
Next, Catherine called the little princess Lan Snow over as Lao Xie said, and told her seriously that there was another important task that she needed to complete now, and then asked her if she was afraid?
Although the little princess Lan Snow was smart, she was not very experienced in the world. She was immediately deceived by Catherine and became excited. She said on the spot that she would complete this 'important' task at all costs.
Catherine then praised a few more words, saying that Lan Snow was a brave and good boy and worthy of being the princess of the Griffin Kingdom. The little girl was so excited that she almost screamed on the spot.
So, after Princess Catherine gave her the task of delivering the letter, she immediately took off with her flying shoes without saying a word, for fear of wasting time.
Actually, there is only one sentence in Catherine's so-called emergency superstition, and that is, 'In order for light to cover the earth as soon as possible, I will try my best to kill the Lich King! Success or failure depends more on God’s will! Please pray for us! ’
After sending away the little princess Lan Snow, Catherine, who had no worries at all, simply called the whole army for a meeting. She first told the terrible consequences of this undead meeting, and then gave some speculations, and finally she was in a state of shock and suspicion. She loudly announced her decision. Then Catherine said to the knights, "If you are not willing to follow me to fight, you can leave on your own. I will give you an order to retreat. This does not count as deserting, and no one will hold you accountable."
Catherine waited for a while, but no one left. Then, without waiting for Catherine to ask questions, the people below started shouting that they were willing to fight side by side with Catherine. Even if they died on the battlefield, they would never regret it!
At this time, the atmosphere at the scene was extremely warm. Everyone was shouting Catherine's name and waving their arms excitedly. Everyone could not help but burst into tears because of this atmosphere. Even Lao Xie's eyes were a little moist. , thus, the intention to assassinate the Lich King was determined.
