Seeing the crowned undead walking towards him, Lei Xiao also went straight to meet him.
"Your Excellency, you are His Majesty the Guardian King Gary, the leader of the Broken Valley Alliance, right?"
Lei Xiao spoke first and stretched out his palm towards the other party.
Just now, Lei Xiao had obtained some further information about the Broken Valley Alliance from the strange stone elves, including this crowned undead.
"Your Majesty, Human Race, you're welcome, just call me Gary."
An old and hoarse voice sounded, and old Gary, who was wearing a mottled crown, nodded to Lei Xiao. After hesitating for a moment, he finally stretched out his palm.
He was obviously thinking about whether, in his current appearance, he was still qualified to act with the etiquette of a normal strong man.
And Lei Xiao's solid and powerful palms have already told him the answer. As long as the light in his heart does not go away, even in his current state, he can still move towards the light.
Feeling the hot temperature from Lei Xiao's palm, Old Gary was stunned for a moment, and then he held Lei Xiao tightly with his mottled bone palm.
On the other side, feeling the piercing cold and hard bones and palms of the opponent, Lei Xiao seemed to see a resolute old king wearing a crown and a gray beard, his old eyes shining brightly.
After the handshake was completed, the bloody light in old Gary's empty eye sockets was no longer there, but instead glowed with a gentle blue light. He looked at the strange stone elf again and continued: "Yuyou, it seems you succeeded."
"Grandpa! Finally I can see you again!"
The stone elf named Youyou had tears streaming down her face and rushed towards Old Gary. The latter, after hesitating for a moment whether he would shock the other person, stretched out his bone palm and touched the former's head affectionately.
.
"Sorry Grandpa, at the beginning, before Yoyo could activate the magic circle, she was surrounded by those evil guys and eventually fell down."
The stone elf's shoulders were trembling constantly, as if he was venting thousands of years of unwillingness and grievances.
Seeing the scene where grandfather and grandson met, Lei Xiao nodded slightly. It seemed that old Gary was the master of the stone elf.
"I don't blame you. Didn't grandpa also fall into their hands back then?"
Old Gary patted Youyou's shoulder gently and comforted: "The important thing is the present, not the past."
After saying that, Old Gary looked at Lei Xiao again. Although he couldn't make any expression, he still opened his mandible and smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, your Excellency, Human Race, is ridiculous. All of my heirs will die in the battlefield or suffer the consequences."
, so after accidentally discovering Youyou, I treated her like a granddaughter."
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao just smiled and nodded, without disturbing this reunion after thousands of years.
"Your Majesty, human race, what is going on?"
I saw Loris walking forward, the lion's face blackened by the flames of war was full of confusion.
It can be clearly seen that the originally fluffy and smooth mane on his neck is all knotted, and a large area is burnt, which shows how intense the battle just now was.
"Is this the Guardian King Gary, the leader of the Broken Valley Alliance?"
Xina also swam forward, her fair face also full of confusion.
"Yes, that's what happened."
Lei Xiao signaled the two of them to gather the main generals and briefly described the whole story.
"So there is such a thing..."
After listening to Lei Xiao's description, not only the major generals looked in disbelief, but even Loris and Xina opened their mouths in surprise and did not react for a long time.
I have to say that this is indeed beyond the imagination of everyone present. After such a long time, even though they have been completely destroyed, the strong men of the Broken Valley Alliance are still engraved with the mark of revenge, even with the current situation.
Such a terrifying undead form.
For a moment, everyone couldn't help but cast a respectful look at the strong men of the Broken Valley Alliance headed by Old Gary. It was precisely because of their unyielding that we were able to place the weight of victory on the scale.
In addition to being surprised in their hearts, everyone's eyes fell on Lei Xiao.
Having said that, if His Majesty the Human Race hadn't discovered this in time and successfully activated those markings, I'm afraid our side would still have been destroyed.
"Your Majesty the Human Race, this group of lichs and other undead spirits have been completely wiped out, and our injured strong men have all been properly treated. So what should we do next?"
Xina calmed down and asked Lei Xiao again.
"Then we must attack the Lich's capital as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the Liches and Undead from other directions surround us, our situation will still be extremely dangerous."
Lei Xiao didn't hesitate at all. He nodded to Xina first, then came to Old Gary again and said: "Old leader, although we have eliminated the lich here, the opponent's core power still exists.
We don’t have much time left.”
After that, Lei Xiao briefly described the current situation and our situation to the other party.
"Did those abominable lichs still build a capital city on the ground? They actually turned our former home into a dead land without any vegetation."
Old Gary clenched his fists, looked at Xina and Loris again, nodded slightly and said: "I didn't expect that even the strong men from the Desert Alliance and the Rainforest Fortress Alliance would come."
After hearing Old Gary's words, Xina and Loris both smiled awkwardly and said hello to the former.
You must know that the Broken Valley Alliance stood at the top of the third-rate forces back then. Compared to this, the recently established Deserted Sand Alliance and the Rainforest Fortress Alliance were as weak as young monsters that had just broken out of their shells.
In order to prevent the Broken Valley Alliance from harming themselves, Huangsha and Yulin both reached a friendly agreement with the former on the surface, but secretly they were always on guard against the former and did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
When the Broken Valley Alliance went to war with the Lich, both the Deserted Sand and the Rainforest had many excellent opportunities to send troops to help the Broken Valley Alliance resolve the crisis. According to the agreement, both of them should indeed send troops.
But until the Broken Valley Alliance was devoured by the lichs, the two still chose to stand by and watch, allowing the forbidden arts to spread rampantly in the once-fertile land, and even gloated a little, until this time the war came.
In other words, the Desert Alliance and the Rainforest Fortress Alliance are both responsible to a certain extent for the Lich becoming more powerful.
If they could fulfill their promise back then and choose to stand with the Broken Valley Alliance instead of just sitting on the sidelines, the Lich would have been wiped out long ago. How could it have developed to what it is today?
After all, those powerful second-rate forces were indifferent because the Lich would not take the initiative to provoke them, but they were completely afraid of the power of the Broken Valley Alliance, so they betrayed their trust and created the current situation.
Thinking of this in their minds, Xina and Loris' faces became even more embarrassed.
At that time, although they were not the decision-makers and were not even born yet, no matter how you think about it, if the two alliances had fulfilled their promises back then, the Lich would never have been so unscrupulous that it was almost destroyed not long ago.
themselves, and their entire alliance.
Sensing the embarrassment between the two of them, Old Gary just opened his mandible and seemed to be trying his best to make a smile. Then he also used the honorific title given to Lei Xiao by Xina and others, nodded heavily and said: "
Your Majesty the Human Race, this underground city operates independently and has no connection points with the ground."
"And with the lich's temperament, it is absolutely impossible for him to connect his capital with this place."
Old Gary pointed to another passage and continued: "The nearest underground city exit is not far away. Let's return to the ground first."
After saying that, Old Gary first signaled Lei Xiao and others to wait for a moment, then walked to the other strong men of the Broken Valley Alliance and said loudly: "Everyone, we have been waiting for too long for today's battle.
But now, His Majesty the Human Race has come with his strong men, as well as the strong men from the Deserted Sand Alliance and the Rainforest Fortress Alliance. This is our chance to take revenge!"
"But before that, we would like to thank His Majesty the Human Race for helping Youyou activate the markings on us! This gave us this coveted opportunity!"
After saying that, Old Gary put his hand bones in front of his ribs and bowed deeply to Lei Xiao.
The other strong men of the Broken Valley Alliance also made the same move, expressing their gratitude and respect to Lei Xiao.
"You're welcome, it's precisely because of your awakening that we can reverse the situation of the war."
Lei Xiao was very calm, nodded slightly and said: "It is our honor to be able to fight side by side with you."
"No, it is our honor to be able to fight side by side with His Majesty the Human Race! The courage to go deep into the hinterland of the Lich alone is enough for us to admire sincerely, because we know how powerful and terrifying the Lich is."
Old Gary nodded heavily, then stabilized the mottled crown on his skull, and shouted: "Fighters of the Broken Valley Alliance, the time for revenge has come, and this time I will not allow anyone to fall behind!"
After that, Old Gary waved his hand, and all the strong men of the Broken Valley Alliance were in high morale. They immediately arranged a battle formation and headed for the nearest passage to the ground. Lei Xiao and other strong men on our side
They all reorganized their teams and kept up with the opponent's pace.
Everyone went up the passage. This time, although they did not encounter the previous gravity barrier, they were still stopped by an extremely strong forest white barrier wall.
At first, everyone wanted to force a breakthrough, but no matter how old Gary, Loris and others focused their attacks, they still couldn't move the slightest bit.
"Damn it, the opponent must have noticed the failure of the group of lichs just now, so they sealed off the entire dungeon!"
After trying his best to attack to no avail, Loris rubbed his numb and red mouth and spat hard.
"This confinement barrier is probably directly connected to the Lich Capital. It is strong enough to be called a defensive barrier for the main city of a second-rate force, and the energy used is the endless stream of black mist miasma."
After inspecting it for a moment, Fleming frowned and said, "Unless we can destroy the Lich Capital on the ground, we cannot forcibly break it."
"But we are already trapped here, how can we destroy the other side's capital first?"
Xina frowned and looked at Lei Xiao involuntarily. After experiencing more and more things, the leader of Huangsha seemed to have placed great trust in the latter.
"Old sir, is there any other way to crack it?"
Lei Xiao gently rubbed his chin and asked Fleming again: "For example, the special method you used to deal with the lich before?"
"Your Majesty, this confinement barrier is indeed based on necromancy. Maybe I can give it a try."
After Fleming lowered his head and sensed it for a while, he nodded and said, "But it will take a certain amount of time to crack it."
"Just go ahead and do it."
Seeing that there was no other choice, Lei Xiao affirmed without hesitation: "If there is any need, I will fully support you."
"As you command, Your Majesty!"
Fleming stroked his chest and saluted, and immediately began to take action, while Lei Xiao directed Yoniel and others to establish a soundproof barrier to prevent disturbing the former.
After everything was deployed, Old Gary also came over and said: "Your Majesty the Human Race, I have also ordered my strong men to go to other passages to check. If there is any news, I will notify your Majesty as soon as possible. Don't worry, this
We will fight side by side with you until the end."
"The words of the old leader always make people feel reassured."
Lei Xiao smiled slightly. Taking advantage of Fleming's break to crack the magic circle, he stopped smiling and asked a question he had been wondering about for a long time: "Old leader, with all due respect, what was the relationship between your alliance and the lich back then?"
How did the war happen?"
"To be honest with you, Your Majesty, the human race, the root of everything comes from the desire for strength."
Old Gary lowered his skull and began to describe: "It was precisely because of this twisted desire that we finally opened the magic box of destruction, and then awakened those terrible and disgusting guys."
"So, it was really you who awakened the lich in the first place?"
Loris opened his eyes wide and blurted out: "What happened back then?"
"The origin of the matter begins with our accidental discovery of an underground ancient ruin from the Silver Moon Era."
Old Gary's old voice was filled with vicissitudes of life as he continued to describe.
Through the other party's narration, Lei Xiao learned that after the ancient ruins were discovered, Old Gary, the leader of Broken Valley, happened to be patrolling nearby. After getting the news, he directly led the guards to join the exploration.
The team of ruins.
"At the beginning, the underground ancient ruins were no different from other ruins we discovered. They were full of ancient and vicissitudes of life, covered with magic vines and magic moss everywhere, and shone with a dim and mysterious light.
"
"But as the exploration deepened, I gradually discovered that something was becoming more and more wrong with that ancient ruins, because the murals engraved on the walls were extremely cruel and bloody scenes, including sacrifices, practicing taboo magic, and all kinds of things.
The cruel punishments are all presented one by one before your eyes."
"What's even more disturbing is that there are many twisted and weird giant sculptures, including skeletons, monsters, and legendary demons..."
Hearing Old Gary say this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
