Chapter 253: Reinforcements Are Coming!

The enemy is well prepared and the situation at the rear is unclear. This action is too large and things may not be that simple.

Achilles also knew what must have happened in the rear, and there was no time to tangle with Frost King Styx at the moment.

Those two people must have a back-up plan to target Achilles.

The point is, the abilities displayed by the Frost King are too strange, and Achilles has never seen such methods before.

It is neither magic nor energy invocation in any sense, it is like a direct invocation of rules and origin.

It touched the root of everything, which Achilles had realized before.

As for the undead over there, he is not the original body of Styx. His so-called uncle is naturally not an ordinary Gou.

Unless he is sure, he will not come forward in person.

Speaking of his uncle, Zorn Musa, his name is not Styx, and the origin of this name is also very ancient.

That was forty years ago. During that period, the Aaron Empire was unprecedentedly strong, and that kind of strength was not based on one person.

Because Achilles was only an eleven-year-old child at that time.

At that time, Zorn Musa and Achilles's father were the commanders of the Empire's Black and Red Cavalry respectively.

In the same year, the royal family of the Woma Empire declared a one-sided war on Aaron, and the decisive battle took place on the River Styx.

That battle was known as the Battle of Styx in history, and it lasted for two full years. The situation of the battle gradually changed from the Aaron Empire completely crushing the Woma Empire at the beginning.

The frontline was defeated, and the Woma Empire counterattacked against the Aaron Empire!

Achilles' father unfortunately died in one of the battles, and the culprit of all this came from a man named Owonaka.

That person was a member of the royal family of the Woma Empire at that time. He had extraordinary magical talent and became a pseudo-legendary magician at the age of thirty.

This man is one of the four strongest men in mankind today, the father of Ms. Hong Jue.

He single-handedly bulldozed the Aaron Empire's army frontline in the Styx back then!

Achilles didn't know the process of that battle clearly. He only remembered that in the end, his uncle Zorn Musa led the black cavalry to push the front back.

Even killed the pseudo-legendary magician!

Zorn Musa was able to become famous in one battle, because the battle took place on the River Styx. In order to commemorate his immortal contribution, the old king rewarded Zorn Musa with the land of Styx and was promoted to Duke.

Therefore, people began to call him the Duke of Styx, or the Commander of Styx.

It's a pity that he failed to maintain this glory and glory.

Four years later, all his taboo experiments and research were uncovered, and the truth of the year emerged.

It turns out that Zorn Musa has been conducting research on the Necromancy School and has achieved amazing results!

And the reason why he won the Battle of Styx was by turning all the dead into undead!

This also explains why there were no prisoners in that battle and all the insiders were executed on the spot.

Those who survived were all Styx's confidants.

Maybe this is nothing. At most, he used some shady means to win the war.

But Aaron's country is a country with a dual parliamentary system, and the church has greater power than the king!

The church strictly prohibits all research on the Necromancy School. All knowledge that touches the Necromancy School will be cleared immediately once discovered!

All involved will also be secretly executed, after which their bones will be doused with mithril and holy water.

In order to prevent the necromancer from resurrecting these people in the future, or using the conversation with the dead spell to talk to these people.

Because although they are dead, their knowledge is still there, and holy water and mithril can make necromancy ineffective.

Apart from the church, every country also hates the doctrine of necromancy.

This is the fear and hatred that has been engraved into the instinct since ancient times, originating from the "Broken War"!

This alone is enough to make Styx receive the wrath of the entire world!

Even the old king at the time acquiesced to the church's decision to execute Styx.

Although he had long wanted to kill Styx, he never had a reasonable excuse.

The reason why he wanted to kill Styx was a bit more complicated. Styx was extremely ambitious. His territory and legions were expanding year by year. He formed cliques in the kingdom for personal gain. He often coerced and lured various dukes and nobles into cooperating with him.

There is a strong tendency to rebel at any time. Unless he is eliminated, the old king will have trouble sleeping and eating.

So, who leaked the news that Styx was studying necromancy?

The answer is already clear, it is Achilles.

He did this out of self-preservation.

Because Styx planned to transform him into a new type of undead, an undead creature called Abomination.

When he learned the truth, he was not in a hurry to expose Styx, but actively cooperated with Styx's experiments.

It wasn't until he completely gained Styx's trust that he exposed Styx's experiments.

The situation at that time was really like walking on a tightrope. He would definitely not be able to escape from Styx's territory on his own.

The only way is to gain Styx's trust, be careful every step of the way, and slowly wait for an opportunity.

Needless to say, the result was that Achilles exterminated his relatives, was appreciated by the church, and became the youngest temple apprentice.

…

Achilles thrust his sword into the ground, and a loud roar resounded on the ground!

A huge holy light barrier was opened, directly isolating the Frost King and his group of corpses!

The undead beside the Frost King saw this and made a creaking sound on his bones, "Damn it, I almost forgot... Although my nephew looks dull, he has been playing tricks on me since he was a child!"

Looking at the huge light curtain in front of him, the Frost King's face was strange.

What does this mean?

Is it a barrier?

The undead reached out and grabbed the reins of the skeleton horse, and turned around and left.

He said something, but the Frost King didn't understand until the White Walker next to him relayed it, "He said there is no need to chase him anymore, Achilles abandoned the sword and ran away."

Abandoned the sword?

The Frost King looked at the White Walker next to him, and his eyes indicated the huge light wall in front of him.

The White Walker instantly understood what the Frost King meant, and quickly commanded his little brother next to him to rush towards the light curtain.

The result was the same as the invisible barrier beside Achilles, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't break it.

And Achilles' holy sword was stuck in the ground, constantly releasing waves of light.

"In other words, he stuck the holy sword here as a barrier to stop us, and then rode away on horseback?"

"What if we break the barrier and take the holy sword?"

Frost King threw this question to the Styx, but the Styx sneered.

"If you have the ability, then go and get it."

From his tone, I'm afraid that if he takes the holy sword, he will explode?

It's hard to say. Frost King roughly estimated the position of the light curtain. It spreads endlessly upwards and is also wide on the left and right.

It's also a bit troublesome to not see the end.

But there is no way, so I can only find a way to bypass it.

Just when Frost King was thinking about this, the space in front of him suddenly twisted!

I saw a figure appear out of thin air and came directly in front of Frost King!

"Good evening∽"

"Oh, is it daytime here?"

The visitor had a weird smile and held two flying knives in his hands.

This is an old acquaintance of Frost King.

"Did that lord send you here, or did Qin Leng send you here?"
