"How, did you give the things to him?"
Located in the pitch-black environment at the deepest part of the Abyss, two creepy huge red eyes looked down at the spider goddess Rose.
Needless to say, the owner of the eyes is the will of the abyss plane called "Urgashek".
But unlike his usual cold and emotionless reaction, he seemed a little excited and expectant today, so much so that his voice and tone had very obvious ups and downs.
Rose was quick to notice this, and immediately put one hand on her chest, bowed slightly, and responded, "Yes, as you instructed, I personally put the abyss fragment into Soth's hand.
But the price was that one of my avatars was destroyed.
Moreover, he was restricted by the gods of the Grey Eagle plane and was not allowed to appear in this world or send down any incarnations, projections, or saints for at least five hundred years.
That damn guy used my relationship with you as a threat and pushed all the dirty water and faults onto me in front of the gods of Os.
What's worse is that I have now become enemies with many lords, including Graz'zt."
When this matter was mentioned, the Spider Goddess became furious.
Obviously, after Zuo Si left, she was besieged by the Grey Eagle gods including the sun god Pero, and even her descended incarnation was beaten to pieces.
Although due to the monopoly of the dark elves' faith, even if they are restricted from entering this plane for five hundred years, it will not actually have much impact.
After all, the connection of faith and the granting of divine powers can proceed as usual.
But the problem was that Rose, who was narrow-minded, had never suffered such a loss before. She stayed in the deep pit magic net and became more and more angry and crazy, but she had no way to retaliate.
To be exact, after witnessing the insane fighting power of the Khorne Angel Zariel and his brutal act of eating a demon demigod alive, she was still feeling frightened.
The goddess was unsure whether the drow warrior demigod who obeyed her orders, Selvetarm, could withstand a head-on battle against this great devil who had already established his reputation in the bloody battle.
What's even more terrible is that Rose suddenly discovered that the mages can actually summon the gods and their incarnations of Faerun across planes.
She simply couldn't imagine what a horrific scene it would be if Zuo Si combined this ability with the huge network behind him, and then led the gods of Faerun to start a cross-dimensional missionary and conquest mode.
You have to know that not every material plane has gods, and not every place with gods can reach the strength of Toril or Greyhawk World.
When a suitable material plane is found, a large number of incarnations of medium or even powerful gods will descend directly. It would be strange if the gods that have not yet developed can withstand it.
Once this alliance grows like a snowball, it will turn around and deal with itself. The mere thought of it makes one's scalp tingle.
Fortunately, from Zuo Si's series of actions, Rose did not yet realize that the other party had such plans.
Otherwise, she would be feeling very uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, Urgashek was clearly not interested in these complaints.
To be precise, no one in the entire universe knows better than him what kind of creatures the demons bred in his body and the chaotic evil gods living in the abyss are. They are so bored that they have to find something to do, and every now and then they will be beaten back home in a very shameful way.
Especially the spider goddess Rose in front of him, who has been making small moves against the elven pantheon since her fall.
Not only did he secretly create a magical artifact called the [Rose of Qirashar] to corrupt the elven gods.
Moreover, he formulated a very sinister and cunning plan, preparing to first assassinate Corellon so that he could not exert his full strength normally, and then contact a large number of allies including the orc gods to attack Avandor and destroy the entire elven pantheon.
In other words, Corellon is more nostalgic, and his temper is relatively mild among all the powerful gods.
Otherwise, with Rose's current behavior, she would have died several times already.
But Zuo Si obviously did not tolerate the bad habits of the Spider Goddess, and she always fought back immediately when she provoked him.
So from the moment he secretly revealed the information about the Abyss Fragments to Grazzt, Urgashek knew that Rose would definitely suffer a great loss this time.
As expected, he became the public enemy of the gods in the Grey Eagle world.
For five hundred years, no incarnations, saints, or projections were allowed to descend, which basically cut off any possibility of her making any big moves.
After a few minutes of silence, Urgashek said bluntly: "I don't care about your little tricks during the transaction, nor am I interested. I just want to know where Soth took the fragment and why he hasn't studied it or even touched it yet?"
“Haven’t you started touching and studying it yet?”
Rose was stunned for a moment, then she looked thoughtful and guessed, "Maybe he is more cautious. After all, this guy is always very careful no matter what he does, and I suspect he has hidden his real body a long time ago and has been using some kind of clone ability."
“But the problem is, I can no longer feel the existence of the fragments.
It has been taken out of this universe.
It felt like I was trying to kill three Eldrazi titans, but couldn't find their bodies or spirits at all.
Apparently, Soth left this universe with the fragments, completely isolating me from perception through the dark space."
Urgashek stated the problem that was troubling him very straightforwardly.
Because this was a situation he had never encountered before, and his perception ability was the same as that of the gods in this universe, unable to pass through the mysterious dark void.
Although the planeswalker's land cards can form a certain spatial connection, that is achieved through sparks.
And the Spark also possesses some of the characteristics of the Dark Void to some extent.
"I'm sorry, but I can't help you with this. If you want to talk to him in person, the best time to do so is when he comes to fulfill his promise to seal away the three Eldrazi titans."
After saying this, Rose once again placed one hand on her chest and saluted the supreme will of the abyss, and then returned to the deep pit magic network that she ruled.
Although Zuo Si's threat, which was almost like flipping the table, made her very angry and annoyed, it was still far from the deep hatred she had for her "ex-husband" Corellon.
In the eyes of the Spider Goddess, the several small conflicts with Zuo Si were at best just tests and games, while the war with the elven gods was a real fight to the death.
The huge red eyes floating at the bottom of the abyss watched Rose leave, and then quickly disappeared without a trace.
…
At the same time, in a secret base established by Shane VII in another world, three planeswalkers were staring at the fragments of the abyss placed on the table in a daze.
To be precise, it should be two planeswalkers plus a planeswalker's projection.
The main brain separated a piece of its own brain tissue and used transformation magic to shape it into a girl that looked exactly like Isadora.
On her chest, there was a unique light of sparks flickering.
Shane VII next to him was in a more miserable state. Most of the body of the legendary magic - the demilich had been destroyed, or it had been eroded by the power of the abyss, turning him into a half-human, half-demon form.
Especially the second demon head that grew out from the fork of the neck, it opened its mouth and grinned like a lunatic, and spoke some confusing abyss language from time to time.
"How do you feel now?"
Zuo Si asked without turning his head, staring at the books on the table that were constantly emitting black and red mist and faint light.
Shane VII smiled bitterly and replied, “It’s terrible.
I felt like my consciousness, thoughts, and soul were about to be torn apart in that instant.
Fortunately, my true soul is preserved in the phylactery.
And the spark also gave me a certain protection.
Otherwise, it will definitely be eroded and distorted by some powerful will.
I can't believe that a madman like you would actually make a deal with the will of the Abyss Plane to get such a dangerous thing."
As he spoke, the half-lich raised his hand and fired an extremely effective [Disintegration] at his other head, directly turning the guy who kept making noise into a pool of powder. His entire body also collapsed and disintegrated, revealing a skull inlaid with gems hidden inside.
Obviously, this is his real body.
Zuo Si smiled and asked, "Why not? As long as the price is right, I am willing to trade with anyone, even an mortal enemy. What's more, in this transaction, I only paid a tiny price."
"But the question is how to deal with this fragment of the abyss? With the level of me and Mastermind Planeswalker Spark, we can't draw any energy from it, let alone read the forbidden knowledge stored in it."
There was a hint of helplessness in Shane VII's tone.
Obviously, he and the mastermind had tried it before, and all of them failed.
"Don't worry. Leave it here first. I will come and deal with it after I recover from hibernation. And this thing was obviously sent here by the Plane Will of the Abyss for testing. I am becoming more and more interested in it now."
After saying this, Zuo Si carefully wrapped up the fragment in the form of a book again with the piece of silk.
After a simple test, it can be basically confirmed that without sufficient strength, any attempt to read, understand and absorb the contents of this book will be no different from suicide.
Shane VII nodded thoughtfully: "This is the only way now. But are you sure you want to put the abyss fragment in this world? Don't forget, we haven't completely seized control of this world yet."
"It doesn't matter. If there are guys who are not afraid of death, let them steal. Anyway, we will definitely not be the ones who suffer in the end."
Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders as if he didn't care.
Are Abyss Fragments so easy to steal?
Stop it! If this thing is not controlled properly, the core of the entire world will be corroded and distorted, and then transformed into a new abyss level.
The best proof of this is the gods' vigilance, fear and terror in their reactions when they saw it.
"Hahaha! Okay, I admit that what you said makes sense. No matter what this world eventually becomes, it will provide us with enough energy." Shane VII couldn't help laughing.
Ever since he broke free from the constraints of space and became a planeswalker, he has been able to feel more and more what true freedom is. Naturally, his personality has become more open-minded and he is no longer as petty as before.
After all, if you fail in one world, the worst that can happen is that you can just start over in a new world.
There are countless time and space in the multiverse, and you can always find the one that suits you.
"Yes. No matter what the truth of the original magic is, and whether it can really be used in the future, we can draw enough energy from this planet. By the way, Mastermind, how is the situation over there now?"
Zuo Si suddenly changed the subject and looked at the girl next to him who looked exactly like Isadora, but whose eyes revealed a cold and rational look.
The mastermind replied without hesitation: “Everything went well.
I have currently used those lizardmen to convert nearly six to seven million mind flayers.
And the remaining 600 million were kept in captivity as slaves and food.
At this rate, it will take only a few months to complete the transformation into a super brain.
As for strength, it should be able to compete with a demigod."
"Demigod? Are you serious!?"
Shane VII was stunned on the spot.
Because he had been trying for so long but still couldn't obtain the power of a demigod.
"certainly.
Unlike arcane magic, psionics is an absolutely idealistic power that originates from firm convictions in the mind and even the soul.
In other words, as long as my mind is strong enough, I can fight against the divine power and not lose in the battle.
Moreover, every time I merge with a mind flayer's brain, my power will become stronger."
When saying this, the mastermind's tone did not fluctuate even a little bit. The extreme indifference and rationality gave people goose bumps involuntarily.
Obviously, the indigenous people of the occupied time and space, the Lizardmen, have now completely become captive livestock.
The mind flayers who think they are the masters are slightly more advanced livestock.
By "scientifically" managing these livestock, resources can be maximized and a steady supply of spiritual energy can be provided to the main brain.
What’s even more amazing is that both the Lizardmen and the Mind Flayers can be transformed into a powerful army at any time.
In this regard, the management and efficiency of the Mastermind are no worse than those of the devil army in Baator and the flesh-and-blood mechanical army in New Phyrexia.
Moreover, as the number of mind flayers increased, psychic technology also began to develop by leaps and bounds, and the functions of many psychic devices were no less powerful than those of the Shock Oil creations.
For example, the mind detection used in the Grey Eagle world that is enough to cover an entire continent can actually be directly replaced by mind suggestion, charm, control, and even pulling millions or tens of millions of people into the virtual world.
In addition, on the planet controlled by the main brain, more than a hundred snail-shell ships have been built, and the brain pool of each battleship contains the secondary brains sorted from her.
This means that even if the main brain carrying the spark is destroyed in battle, she will not really die, but will only lose a part of her huge body.
"Damn! Psionics sounds like cheating."
Shane VII couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
He finally realized why Iolum, the great arcanist who created the Golden Age of Netheril, finally chose to merge his consciousness with the mind flayer's mastermind and became the first mastermind lich in Faerun's history.
"If you are interested in this, I have the professional information of the spiritual master here. You can merge with the master mind that you captured before through magic rituals." Zuo Si suggested with a smile.
Shane VII obviously hesitated for a moment, but soon shook his head and refused, "Forget it. Psychic power is not suitable for me. I'd better continue to walk the path of arcane magic."
"What about soul energy? Are you interested in soul energy?" Zuo Si continued to ask with interest.
"Soul energy?"
There was a strong sense of surprise in Shane VII's tone.
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Yes, soul energy is the heavy magic power invented by the genius archmage Karsus.
Its essence is to shape the raw soul and life energy directly into spells for use.
If using the magic web to cast spells is equivalent to processing firewood into coal, and then putting it into an efficient furnace to maximize combustion utilization, then soul energy is simply and crudely lighting the wood to build a simple bonfire.
The most important thing is that the energy source used by soul energy is not one's own soul and life energy, but borrowed from an infinite and huge source.
The more connected your soul is to this Source, the greater the power you can draw from it.
How about it, doesn’t it sound interesting?”
The gem-studded skull of Shane VII floated up and shook gently twice: "It's very interesting, but I also feel the huge risks involved. Normally, if mortals connect directly with such a source, it will be affected, right?"
“It’s definitely dangerous.
But I can assure you that this danger is not at the same level as the abyss fragment you just touched.
Here, here is the information about soul energy.
If you are interested, you can find a chance to try it.”
After saying that, Zuo Si placed the notes he had sorted out about soul energy on the table beside him.
"Okay, I'll watch it when I have time."
King Xia En VII readily accepted Zuo Si's suggestion and put away all the notebooks.
Different from normal magic, divine arts and psychic powers, real soul energy is connected to a system called "chakra" through a method similar to enchantment, and then gains additional magical effects and power by strengthening a certain part of the "chakra".
This stuff is pretty interesting.
Moreover, since the number of soul energy users is very small, it is very easy to achieve the effect of "killing at first sight" as long as it is used well.
Just when the three planeswalkers temporarily ended their research on the abyss fragments, a hurried sound of footsteps suddenly came from afar, and then a voice that made Zuo Si feel uncomfortable all over echoed at the door of this secret room.
"Hey! My dear master, how did you take time out of your busy schedule to come here? Did you come to check if I was being lazy?"
While he was talking, the diary's sloppy and annoying face appeared at the stairs.
Just think about it, as the secret base of Shane VII, there are only a handful of people who are qualified to pass through the numerous traps and guards to enter.
He happens to be one of them.
"What the hell are you doing?" Zuo Si asked, holding his head.
Diary took out a handkerchief from somewhere, wiped the lipstick marks of different sizes and colors on his face and neck, and responded heartlessly: "Hey - I can't help it, who makes me so popular.
Those young and beautiful girls couldn't walk when they saw me, and they had to express their inner joy and excitement with practical actions.
The Church, in particular, even specially prepared thousands of carefully selected women of childbearing age, and insisted that I have in-depth discussions with them, hoping that they would get pregnant and give birth to more strong offspring.
Looking at the high priest's expectant and earnest eyes, I didn't know how to refuse.
Alas - what a kind and gentle person he is, willing to give everything for the survival and development of the human race.
I decided to help them despite my difficulties.”
He proved through his actions that if people succumb to their desires without any bottom line, they are basically no different from smarter animals.
Zuo Si couldn't help but complain: "So this is actually the choice made by the little head below instead of the big head above? You should know what the priests of the Church are thinking, right?"
"Of course I do.
They simply took a fancy to my individual strength, and wanted my tadpoles to cultivate and give birth to powerful offspring, so that they could awaken and gain powerful powers like those gods.
I have no problem with that.
Anyway, all I want is to get something for free in the literal sense. As long as I feel good, I don’t care.
更何况我究竟有没有生育能力还不一定呢。
也许等下一次返回浮空城的时候，应该让那些专家做个检查。”
日记本无所谓的摊了摊手，完全就是“死猪不怕开水烫”的架势。
“你可真是个彻头彻尾的牲口！”
左思没好气的翻了个白眼，强忍着一拳打在对方脸上的冲动。
可日记本却不以为耻、反以为荣回应道：“谢谢夸奖，我会加倍努力争取早日达成万人斩。
听说你扶持的那位王国公主拉娜殿下，现在已经彻底羽翼丰满，正在暗中筹划着彻底干掉自己的父亲、兄长、姐姐夺取王位。
然后对整个国家的贵族反动一场史无前例的大清洗。
相信在这个过程中肯定会有无数可怜的贵族小姐和夫人会卷入其中。
到时候又有鲜嫩可口的可爱羔羊可以享用了。
哦，差点忘了跟你说。
上次你让我调查的白金龙王，现如今已经可以确认他的位置了。
组要组织一次猎杀活动助助兴吗？”
“嗯——暂时不需要。
我们在这个世界的第一目标是始源魔法。
次一级的目标才是抽干这颗星球的魔法能量与生命能量。
继续搜集那些真龙王的信息，
至于剩下的，基本就是让那些召唤过来的魔鬼获取灵魂。”
左思低着头稍加思索后很快做出了决定。
“OK！明白了。”
日记本转身直接开启传送门消失在原地，从始至终都没有提过老骨头和他的纳萨力克大坟墓。
原因非常简单。
这位来历存疑的穿越者现在已经沉底暴露在本地土著的眼皮子底下，并且老巢遭到了数十万联军的包围封锁。
玩家们更是化整为零渗透进各国的军队、冒险者中，伺机猎杀那些从地下钻出来的炮灰和NPC。
才没过多久，纳萨力克大坟墓的资金储备就消失了差不多四分之一。
其中有的钱是花在了复活重要NPC，有一些则花在了打造各种武器、装备、卷轴上。
还有许多宝物和装备在不断的拉锯中随着NPC的死亡掉落，最终成为玩家手中的战利品。
如果非要用一个词来形容老骨头目前的心情，那必然是焦头烂额根本不知道该怎么应对这样的绝境。
毕竟在他的记忆中，自己穿越之前只是个微不足道的底层业务员、社畜，被上司当做垃圾一样鄙视和咒骂的可悲小人物。
这一点从现实世界的社交基本为零就能略窥一二。
最终只能把所有这方面的需要寄托在游戏中。
再加上左思的横插一脚导致他无法像原本剧情中那样，靠着压倒性的绝对力量来弥补自身眼界、能力、心智、思维等各个方面的严重不足。
在这种情况下，缺点自然是被迅速的无限放大，几乎是做什么错什么。
而左思带来的玩家们则一个个像疯狗出笼一样，不断通过战斗和猎杀提升等级、积累经验、获取各种魔法物品的奖励。
光是跨过传奇等级的就已经超过足足两千人。
由于纳萨力克大坟墓的NPC经常都是一身极品乃至神装，只要杀死一次就必然会掉落足以令人眼红的宝贝。
所以高等级的玩家们根本就看不上这个世界其他各个国家和势力那点微不足道的收益，都聚集于此满脑子想的都是如何才能抓到一条“大鱼”。
事到如今，纳萨力克所有的战斗人员、女仆团和各层百级守护者，基本全都被杀死了起码三次以上。
某些出击比较频繁的更是死了十几次二十次。
夏提雅失去了自己的滴管长枪和女武神铠甲，科塞特斯二十一把武器眼下也只剩下了不到一半，暗夜精灵姐弟的武器和世界道具也在战死的时候丢失，雅儿贝德持有的地狱深渊权杖也被另外一件黑色双手大剑所取代……
唯一让老骨头还算庆幸的是，自己上一次被杀的时候没有携带公会武器——安兹乌尔恭之杖。
不然要是这玩意落到对方手上，那基本就可以不用打直接投了。
此时此刻，他正坐在属于自己的王座上，瞪着眼眶里的两点红光，看着从魔法镜子中传回的战斗影像。
才短短十几分钟的功夫，整整两队死亡骑士加六个死者大法师就被轻而易举的全部歼灭。
有些甚至连携带的魔法卷轴都没来得及激活。
那高效且干净利落的战斗方式，即便是站在老骨头的角度也不由得为对方拍手叫好。
或者说这些冒险者和佣兵的表现，简直就跟他穿越前的玩家们几乎一模一样，都是那么的贪婪，愿意为了丰厚的奖励冒任何风险，并且毫不畏惧死亡。
甚至就算有同伴死亡，对方的反应也都十分平淡，甚至偶尔还会用尸体开玩笑，完全感受不到哪怕一丁点的悲伤。
这群人的表现与周围国家派出的联军士兵截然不同。
后者只要遭到突袭死伤惨重，分分钟就会士气崩溃转身大规模的溃逃。
也正是多亏了他们，纳萨力克大坟墓才始终有充足的尸体作为补充，可以源源不断制造出强大的亡灵军团维持现如今的防御圈。
沉默了良久之后，老骨头终于在内心之中深吸了一口气，向自己身边的恶魔守护者询问道：“迪米乌哥斯，你觉得以现在的形式我们可以开始反攻了吗？”
“是的，无上的至尊。
趁着这段僵持拉锯的时间，我已经带着人手屠杀了圣王国的十二个城镇。
为您准备了一只总数量高达二十万的亡灵大军。
只要等太阳落山夜色降临，就能里应外合发动一场规模空前的大反攻。
到时候不管是那些冒险者和佣兵也罢，还是来自周围各个王国的军队，都必然会乱成一团。
我们要做的就是集中优势力量，对分散在森林周围威胁最大的目标发动饱和打击。
根本不给他们呼叫支援或逃跑的余地，直接以最快速度将其消灭。
到时候一解围，我们就立刻瞄准王国或是帝国中的一个发动全面入侵，把整个国家所有的活人全部杀光，打造一个只有亡灵的国度。
而你，就是这个国度中唯一的王。”
迪米乌哥斯非常干脆的说出了自己邪恶且无比疯狂的计划。
作为一个恶魔，他从来就没有把人类的生命放在心上，甚至还能从折磨和拷问人类中获得某种快感。
通过这一次多国联合起来的围剿，这个比较聪明的家伙已经意识到纳萨力克大坟墓在本地土著的眼中就是异端、是死敌。
既然如此，那就索性彻底放开手脚来一场大屠杀。
反正只要把活人都变成死人，那么一切问题就都迎刃而解了。
到时候要做的就是像滚雪球一样，利用这些死尸制造出来的亡灵生物不断对外扩张，杀戮，直至整个大陆乃至星球的生命全部消失。
如此一来，就再也没有人能威胁到无上的至尊和纳萨力克大坟墓的安全了。
长期的拉锯战，NPC与守护者的反复死亡，仓库内大量物资装备的消耗，还有来自精神方面折磨，早已抹掉了老骨头最后的一丁点人性。
此时此刻的他已经是个彻头彻尾杀人不眨眼的亡灵生物，因此立刻大手一挥用冰冷的声音吩咐道：“那就开始吧！
是时候让这个世界的土著明白，招惹我们要付出什么样的代价。
他们想要战争和死亡，那就给他们战争和死亡。
今天晚上一个都不要留下，所有人倾巢而出。”
“如您所愿！”
数名NPC集体单膝下跪向这个公会中最后留下来的玩家行礼。
没过一会儿功夫，他们就穿戴上那些原本属于其他退坑玩家的装备，眼神中闪烁着愤怒的光芒。
为了这一战，老骨头可以说是豁出了血本，直接打开宝库把最后的家底都拿了出来。
当时间来到午夜十分，迪米乌哥斯带人通过屠杀平民大量转化的亡灵军团终于抵达了森林外围各国军队的驻地。
由于亡灵既不会疲劳、也感受不到恐惧的关系，它们压根连脚步都没有停下，就这样径直朝着已经睡下的大片营帐发起冲锋。
要知道这些军队一直都认为敌人时来自于深林里边，因此各种警戒哨塔、栅栏、围墙、壕沟、拒马等东西也都在超里边这一侧。
至于背后，基本没有什么像样的防御工事。
于是乎，二十万的亡灵在众多死亡骑士的率领下，一下子就把营地彻底冲垮。
许多士兵还在睡梦之中，就被骷髅或是僵尸手中的利刃分尸了。
更要命的是，凡是被死亡骑士杀死的倒霉蛋，很快就会被转化成为新的低级亡灵。
在这种夜间突袭+毫无防备+滚雪球壮大的三重压力下，别说是这种中世纪组织纪律性极差的军队，就是现代军队也没有几个能撑得住的。
才一眨眼的功夫，帝国、王国、教国和圣王国的军营就彻底炸了。
Especially the old king, Rambusa III, who had led the team in person to ease relations with the Empire and the Theocracy, rushed out of his tent, stunned by the flames and shouts of killing everywhere. From time to time, he could see soldiers and nobles fleeing in panic around him. He was completely in a daze.
Before he could react to what was happening, a dark shadow suddenly emerged from the darkness and rushed towards him at a speed that was almost indistinguishable to the naked eye.
There was a flash of cold light! The old king felt a sharp pain in his chest.
When he lowered his head, he saw that his heart had been pierced and blood was flowing out of the wound.
As for his personal bodyguard, he had already died in a pool of blood not far away.
"Who... who are you? Why... why are you going to kill me?"
At the end of his life, Rambusa III endured the severe pain and asked the question that concerned him most.
He was very eager to know who sent such a powerful assassin to kill him.
The young emperor of the empire?
Or the great priests of the Church? Or the restless nobles within the kingdom? They couldn't be eager to replace his foolish son, could they?
In short, the old king wanted to find out before he died whether the country inherited into his hands could continue.
"It's Princess Lana. She's tired of your incompetence and plans to take over the country herself."
The assassin took off his hood to reveal a thin face, and the elf's iconic pointed ears could be vaguely seen on both sides.
"What? Lana! This... this is impossible! She is so kind and lovely, how could she do something like killing her father?"
Rambusa III's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Haha, I guess you never really understood your daughter, did you?
In fact, you are not the only one who was assassinated tonight.
And all your descendants, and a list of six hundred nobles.
Dear King, this coup is also a brutal purge.
What the Golden Princess wants is a clean country where she can display her talents.
As for those nobles you rely on, more than 70% of them will be exterminated tonight.
There is no place for them in the new era that is about to begin.
Of course, we will announce to the outside world that all the victims, including you, were the victims of a despicable and shameless sneak attack by the undead.
Her Highness Lana will ascend the throne full of grief, become a queen, and make a series of reforms.
How about it, are you satisfied now? Actually, Princess Lana originally wanted to stab your heart with a dagger herself.
But considering that if all the royal family members and a large number of nobles were killed, she would have to escape by chance many times, which would arouse the suspicion of outsiders, so I had to give up and let me do it instead. "
After saying this, the assassin smiled ironically, bowed gracefully, and quickly disappeared into the shadows during the chaos.
The old king held his chest in severe pain, feeling his body getting weaker and weaker, and even his vision became blurred.
At his deathbed, he finally saw the undead soldiers rushing towards him, and then his entire head was chopped off with a click, ending his mediocre life.
However, if you look closely, you can find that the last expression on his face was not pain, but a strange smile.
The reason was simple! Rambusa III suddenly realized that his youngest daughter was the smartest and most decisive one in the royal family.
If she inherits the kingdom, then he won't have to worry too much about the entire country being defeated or annexed by neighboring countries in the future.
After the old king had been dead for a while, the warrior captain who was out on patrol finally rushed back, fighting his way out of the siege of tens of thousands of undead like a madman, and roared in grief and anger while holding the headless corpse of the person he was loyal to.
Although he wanted very much to kill all these undead creatures, it was obviously impossible to do so given the army's current state of collapsed morale.
With no other options, Gazef could only take the old king's body and choose to retreat temporarily.
In an instant, the area within a radius of dozens of kilometers was filled with defeated and fleeing troops.
Similarly, deep in the forest, players also started an all-out war with the Great Tomb of Nazarick, which had come out in full force.
Various legendary magic and nine-ring spells were overwhelming, turning almost half of the forest into a sea of fire.
Occasionally, you can see meteorites falling from the sky and dazzling energy beams.
The deafening explosions and violent earthquakes could be clearly felt by people hundreds of kilometers away.
There is no doubt that for the indigenous people of this world, this is an outright war between gods and demons.
Many fleeing soldiers were so frightened by the horrific scene that they turned back after rushing a few hundred meters inside.
They would rather fight the undead to death than die in obscurity under the influence of powerful magic.
The Diary was currently standing above the battlefield, appreciating with great interest this wonderful show that had been brewing for quite some time, and calculating the number of players' deaths in his mind.
After a long while, he could not help but smile and comment with gloating: "Concentrate superior forces to form an overwhelming advantage of more people against fewer people in a local area?
It seems that the old man is not completely useless, he even knows a little about military strategy.
Not bad, not bad.
If this continues, the players will be furious in no time.
I'd better send a message to the floating city of Plantia in advance, so as to avoid being in a hurry when transmitting later..."
