It's still a familiar small building, and it's still an uninvited visitor, but the visitor this time made me feel the urge to call for help.
Opposite the coffee table is a sleepy old man with a snow-white beard on the soles of his feet. His slovenly appearance is somewhat similar to that of a homeless man, but the magic power under that decrepit body is as deep as the sea.
Sitting across from me, I could feel the endless magic, but outside the room, there was no wave.
"...Eternal Night? It's a perfect life form."
The old man put down the teacup and slowly stared at the cup in his hand, as if he was very satisfied with the tea in it, but I knew that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at me.
"Lord of Withering" Sandro, the master of the corpse plane, Bieso and the senior undead emperor, the former chief executive of the Tali Republic, and this time, he is also the undead emperor who came to this plane one of the most prestigious.
And not long ago, that is, he showed an incredible instant forbidden spell in front of the great mages in the kingdom of mages, and only those who know his research field know that it is not a forbidden spell, but just a forbidden spell. Powerful regular magic.
He should be confronting the archmage and the giant dragon on the front line of Baier now. At this time, he appeared in front of me silently. I received the battle report two days ago. He was patrolling the front line. It seems that either he is The large-scale teleportation ability, or, deceived everyone.
Those squinting presbyopic eyes have never been opened, but the eyes of the soul see through everything, and that "perfect life form" may not only refer to the body, but also the soul.
And when he looked at me, I was trying my best to analyze the other's existence.
"The Withered One", "Waterless Dust", "Bone Spider Emperor", the maturity of each undead emperor came up on countless corpses. Facing such an opponent, I would not dare to slack off.
"... What is the old senior coming for? Resurrection?"
Sandro is also a member of the natural undead. If he came for this, it can be completely explained.
But Sandro shook his head and didn't speak, but there was an inexplicable mockery on his half-smile expression, as if I had underestimated him just now.
"The living belong to the sunshine, and the dead belong to the dust. I am not one of those juniors who miss the past. How can I be obsessed with life and death? I came to you, but for the Chengruo you mentioned earlier."
promise? I was stunned. It wasn’t that I didn’t have Chengruo, but that there were too many messed up Chengruo. On the battlefield, what was promised to the opponent was basically nonsense to shake the opponent. When I asked about it, I didn't even know which one it was.
But soon, with a turn of his head, the one who can make Sandro leave the important things in his hand is naturally higher, so there is only one possibility...
"Land?"
And Sandro nodded slowly, which undoubtedly proved my guess, but I was a little surprised.
What I propose is just a plane other than the main plane. For the undead emperors who are committed to the main plane, no matter how they look at it, it should be just an alternative. I expect them to talk to me after they are frustrated. Now the undead army is in full swing. Sheng, are you looking for a way out
I didn't hide my surprise because I needed an explanation too.
"...you did a good job, really, so good that we all had our disagreements."
I think I need a translator. This old man just likes to say something without a beginning and end, and then let people guess. If you guess correctly, it is a matter of course. If you guess wrong, you will look stupid.
"Oh… "
Okay, old man, I'll play with you, let's guess together, I said this interjection with a calm face, then shut up, and the room fell into a strange silence.
"Cough, Phil, please help the old man."
It seems that the big eyes staring at the small eyes can't stand him anymore, and out of his shadow his subordinates are dressed up as a middle-aged old gentleman... Mummy
"Your Majesty Yong Ye, hello, my lord has not spoken for too many years, please allow me to express his words."
Haven't spoken for too long? It is indeed understandable. After all, it is enough for the undead lower than himself to give orders directly with his mind, the same level and higher? No, just communicate with other undead emperors, I am afraid you can also send his subordinates directly.
It seems that you don't like to play dumb riddles, but simply that there are too few opportunities to speak, which leads to the regression of your speech ability? This is really a luxury problem, I nodded, indicating that the guests themselves.
"My lord, you have done a great job. We can't believe that the undead can live so harmoniously with the living. It reminds us of the heyday of the Republic. On, several undead emperors have differences..."
The mummy named Phil is not at all like his kin, and he talks very fast. In his description, I gradually understand the situation of the other party.
There is an endless difference from what I guessed before. Regarding the return, the consuls of the Taly Republic have been divided from the beginning. Some undead emperors are eager to rebuild the Taly Republic, some just want to come to the main plane to harvest souls and flesh, and some I didn't plan to move the nest at all, just didn't come.
And even the Reconstructionists can have completely different attitudes towards the living, so their behaviors are also completely different...
Let’s take an individual as an example. Esso is the backbone of the return group, but his attitude towards the living is relatively moderate. He hopes to build a new Taly Republic where the living and the dead co-produce, and realize the return of civilization. He is also a veteran. Emperor Sandro, the consul, also came from the years spent by the living and the dead. In this regard, his political views are similar, and he is almost a hardcore.
But even "Heng", who came very close to Esso, is a hardcore returner, but she is full of hostility to the living. She originally had no strong desire to return, but some time ago, she was bent on revenge and planned to fight in the Lord. The plane established the kingdom of the dead, and by virtue of the greatly improved individual strength, he vaguely became the leader of the killing faction.
After entering the main plane, whether to use the undead natural disaster to kill all the way and convert all the living into the dead directly leads to the opposition of ideas.
"There are only a few people, there are so many factions and differences, you are also working hard..."
Phil, who was tied with cloth strips, couldn't see his expression clearly, but Old Sandro was tired and seemed to have a headache.
"No way, those few are unique His Majesty..."
I nodded, of course I can understand that being able to go beyond the theoretical limit to become the undead emperor, those guys are all paranoid, and one of the characteristics of paranoia is self-centeredness and extremely difficult to compromise.
Moreover, these undead emperors are the supreme beings who rule a plane and a continent alone, and they are still from the masters who despise the gods. After so many years, it would be strange to deal with them well.
I have made guesses. Since they are all born from mages, the way the undead emperors get along should be similar to the joint mechanism of the Council of Truth. Everyone is an authority in their own field. Naturally, they are paranoid who do not listen to others. They can only act together for common interests, and no one can convince anyone about what to do with superiors and subordinates.
Other powerful beings can also use their strength to distinguish their superiors and inferiors. The status of the mages of the same class has little to do with their strength. Who is the boss with a lot of strength? That's not like the barbarians they most despise!
Moreover, many times the result of spell battles is not only a battle of strength but also a battle of wisdom. Luck is also very important. If you change the order of your moves, the result may be completely different. Two people who are not very different will fight again at another time, and the result will be completely different. is very likely.
And even if they use their strength to compete, anyone can break through a bottleneck in their own field, and then their strength will skyrocket, and then the results will change. The ever-changing ranking can only be a joke.
"The hardest people to deal with in the world are probably the dictators and the crazy and paranoid scientists. The undead emperors are both. It is a miracle that they can live together peacefully. Perhaps, the affection of the compatriots in the past is also very heavy... But There seems to be a gap in it to grab."
Based on the above speculations, the alliance of the Undead Emperor must be an extremely loose alliance, and all the Undead Emperors are almost equal... So when I heard that they actually pushed Bayer in unison, I couldn't believe it.
"Five people like me and Heloise join forces to play mahjong? Is it possible to live in harmony? Dream about it."
My prediction for it should be that each of them will lead an army, open up a plane gate to fight a country, and if they hit it, they will count as their own. This is the most suitable war strategy for them.
"His Majesty Esso and His Majesty Heng are no longer there. It's just the allocation of the main attack positions. Your Majesties have been unable to reach an agreement. Therefore, at the suggestion of His Majesty Hypnos, the five Majesties decided to make a joint attempt... This is the first The second joint, but judging from the results, I am afraid it will also be the last time.”
It turned out that the spies of the Taly Republic have been hanging out in the north all these years, and the relationship between the undead and the living in the Lan Alliance has made those old undead emperors very excited. They suggested not to forge a blood feud with the living in the first place, and leave reconciliation. 's room.
But as soon as the irascible Hypnos started to fight, he lost the Scourge of the Undead, and then snowballed.
He is also accurate, knowing that once something crosses the line, there is no turning back, and those undead emperors of the Harmony faction, seeing that things are so helpless, they are not good men and women, and they will not show mercy to the enemy, so everyone is together. Flat push.
It was cool to push all the way, but halfway through the push, the team had already started to split.
I think it's enough to get a handful, and I ask that I don't eat hard bones like Bayer, and go to other weak countries to harvest souls. The representative is the Great Anina of the Black Absolute Plane. Her qualifications are only average among the people, and she needs it. Massive souls to strengthen herself, in a sense, she is also the only undead emperor who has a realistic desire for war.
The one who heard that the troll empire was actually revived, and was so angry that he wanted to turn his head and fight the troll desperately was the Marshal of the Dead who had also experienced the age of the troll empire.
He is from the same plane of blasphemy as Esso. In a sense, he is both Esso's brother and his subordinate... It is worth mentioning that Sandro also wants to go to the trouble of trolls. The old Tali Republic consul, who did not climb out of the bloody battle between humans and trolls, that blood feud could not be resolved for a long time, even their obsession with resurrecting from the dead.
The dead witch from the plane of fog death, Punos, is not only the youngest from the outside but also inside. He can't understand those old antiques' obsession with trolls. With the goal of establishing the kingdom of the dead, his current goal is to hit the capital of Baier all the way.
Emperor Sonoma on the blood plane is probably the most bizarre one. No one knows what he is thinking. He does not say goodbye on the road, leaving only one clone, and it is precisely because of his Leaving alone, led to a bit of a loss in the spells and undead emperors that followed.
And in the end, it is the old grandfather Sandro in front of him. His choice... He has come to me, and his identity as a Harmony faction has undoubtedly explained everything.
"Your Majesties are too personal..."
Although there was still no expression, I could hear the cry in Phil's voice.
That's right, five people are divided into five factions, and they don't care about their allies at all. This is too strong to evaluate.
In fact, I have already felt it. It is estimated that when they come to a few undead emperors, they will be divided into several factions, and the final outcome will not be different at all.
"You guys are really working hard..."
Being a subordinate to this group of extremely egoistic bastards is absolutely tragic, and my words are very sincere, full of sympathy and understanding.
"You, you just understand. As expected of the only new His Majesty in modern times."
Mummy Phil was moved and seemed to see the dawn of the future.
"... Do you finally know our hard work? Do you remember the Sulphur Mountain back then?"
Heloise's words were passed from the spiritual link, will you give up if you don't spit it out, I'm always better than these guys...
Recalling the Sulphur Mountain City in the past, all kinds of pits and explosions flashed through your mind, causing trouble to your subordinates? The scene of Diana vomiting blood in anger was recalled time and time again, and the more I said it, the more quietly, the less confident I became.
"Cough, if Heng and Esso are both... As long as Esso is still there, we should still be able to sit down and talk."
It seems that I feel a little embarrassed. Sandro's words are full of helplessness. In a sense, this can't be blamed for the poor coordination of the undead emperor. This time the alliance of the undead emperor was organized by Esso, and now the organization No one is there anymore, and there is no way to make trouble like this.
I finally understood. It turned out that the undead emperors did not act decisively when they came up, but they knew it. If it dragged on for a long time, this loose alliance would disintegrate on its own. , the opponent won't be able to block it, and won in confusion, and if it blocks it, it will be GG.
Now that Baier has just blocked this wave, the five great emperors have five thoughts, five actions, and what will happen next, even the God of Destiny can't see it.
I see that the silent Sandro is getting more and more friendly. Obviously, he is not representing the Alliance of the Undead Emperor, but himself.
He said that the living and the dead in the Lan Alliance get along very well, which has undoubtedly shown his attitude.
Perhaps this is a once-in-a-lifetime breakthrough...
