Chapter 722: Chapter 609: Righteously Killing the Dwarf King_2

Why didn’t the Kingdom of Impure Hymns simply open all the Gates of Hell to attack Laine and instead use the Gates of Hell as a defensive weapon? Wasn’t it because the devils were simply uncontrollable?

Opening the Gates of Hell ahead of time may not result in the demise of Laine, perhaps the Kingdom of Impure Hymns would have been destroyed by the devils first.

This Lich wishes to open the Gates of Hell. Once the devil army appears, these Dwarves and Goblins will become the first casualties for the devils’ feeding frenzy.

"Master, you’d better think this through! Devils are uncontrollable, are you trying to ruin the entire Royal Capital? There are many innocent Dwarves here..."

Seth Yuri tried to persuade, but Amberser calmly said, "Don’t worry, the devils I summon are very obedient."

"Obedient devils?!"

Seth Yuri became anxious. This Lich was far too careless. Devils are only superficially obedient. Given any chance, they would immediately turn against you. The scale of these Gates of Hell indicated that they were massive. Even if the Lich had made a pact with the devils, how many could he control when the devil army appeared? Just a few hundred little inferior demons running into the civilian area could cause significant casualties.

As the Gates of Hell became more distinct, Seth Yuri, with gritted teeth, summoned a huge axe. The young Dwarf urgently said, "Master Ultraman, please stop your ritual immediately. We can discuss other methods!"

Amberser sighed but was too apathetic to explain. Today, his mood was foul, and he had no patience for patient discourse.

Before Seth Yuri could lift his axe, Amberser had already cast a Stopping Spell his way.

Seth Yuri’s body was immediately imprisoned in a red Magic Power cage.

The young Dwarf had never expected that his magical defenses would be ineffective, as the Magic Power seemed to pierce through all his defenses at once.

Unable to move, he could only shout, "Damn it, stop for Uncle Zane’s sake!"

But Amberser completely ignored him and, amidst the guards who had come at the sound, finally prepared the entire Gates of Hell.

Enormous, crimson shadows solidified into form, with lightning that tore through the air, causing all the guards to retreat.

The Gates of Hell swung open with a thunderous boom, and squadrons of well-equipped Nightmare Knights emerged.

"Nightmare Knights?!"

Seth Yuri panicked even more. These were one of the high-level devils. Taming a Hell Incubus was not a simple matter. One needed to have substantial strength, and just a few could slice him up as easily as chopping vegetables.

But there were too many Nightmare Knights in sight. One group, two groups... An endless stream appeared, quickly numbering over a hundred, and still increasing. How did such a powerful devil army pass through the Gates of Hell? Shouldn’t it be a large number of little demons at the front? Why were they all elites?

In Seth Yuri’s shocked gaze, a tall Nightmare Knight approached Amberser, dismounted, knelt, his movements graceful like flowing water.

This fierce-faced devil respectfully said to Amberser, "My lord, it is an honor to see you again. Thank you for everything you’ve done for Laine."

Amberser summoned Mage Hand to help him up, comforting, "Rise, Ange. We are old friends after all."

Ange Watson, once the foremost general of the Laine People, was also one of those who’d been most deeply controlled by the Magic Dragon. Unable to bear the torment within after the Magic Dragon’s true identity had been revealed, he opted for suicide.

This was a huge loss for Laine, but his two brothers couldn’t even afford to mourn. They could only tirelessly work day and night for the revival of Laine.

After receiving the list of suicidal Paladins, Amberser immediately had his old friends help to collect them. A million Paladins, that was a tremendously powerful force.

However, Hell was vast, and only a few hundred had been found so far, and that too with the assistance of the Clerk of the Second Layer of Hell.

And among these Paladins was Ange Watson.

Once a Laine person, the esteemed Clerk handed down a sweeping order to transform all of them into Nightmare Knights after inquiring about the situation in Laine.

Without this Clerk’s intervention, who else would have so many Nightmares? This creature itself is a high-level Hell demon, worthy of being the mounts for the Grand Dukes of Hell.

Amberser now intended to attack the Dwarf Palace, naturally requiring the help of this group of Nightmare Knights.

That was why Amberser was confident he could control them.

Standing before them was not just any Lich, but a dear friend who had fought side by side with Saint King Arthur · Laine, a war hero from the battle against the Magic Dragon, and the person who saved Laine from the brink of collapse.

These Paladins who had committed suicide from shame toward Laine, dared not utter a single word of disobedience upon seeing Amberser.

When Amberser commanded them to stand at attention, not a single Nightmare dared to lift a hoof.

Amberser instructed, "Ange, this is underneath the Dwarf Capital. I will have someone give you a map of the Royal Capital. Take half an hour to study it, and then level the Dwarf Palace for me."

Ange Watson punched his chest forcefully, respectfully saying, "As you command, my lord."

Indeed, as Amberser said, Ange Watson had no reason to refuse. Facing the benefactor who had saved Laine multiple times and even given them a second chance, what could they do but obey?
