Chapter 104, Code of Conduct
The deformation of the earth element is the basic entry point for earth professionals, and it is also one of the topics that Ouyang Dao has been studying in the past few days. Ouyang Dao's control over the goblins had always been in a delicate state, requiring Ouyang Dao to issue precise commands in his mind, in addition to being in the realm of superb automatic separation, and sometimes even requiring him to synchronize the simulation in his mind, just like the previous hundredfold connection.
The earthworm is said to be a master, but it has not exerted the kind of power that crushes everything in the previous battles, although Ouyang Dao already knows the earthworm's 'will', it is far from knowing whether it will get rid of the influence of unification. Ouyang Dao was very frustrated and couldn't use high-grade weapons, and at Vivian's suggestion, Ouyang Dao found a local mage in Smith's company and spent a few days learning the basics of local magic, and today was the day of the test results. As Ouyang Dao's mind swirled, a complex three-dimensional rune was sketched out in Ouyang Dao's mind, and then synchronously copied and received the dragon, and finally succeeded in using the huge power inside the dragon, and the entire manor turned into a sea of quicksand.
One by one, the members of the Dead Lion Society were swallowed by quicksand. Some people try to get rid of quicksand with their strong physical qualities. Unfortunately, power has no role in the sea of sand. One by one, the team fell to the ground.
The faces of the dead soldiers were full of anger. The shadow of the lion behind him has begun to disappear, and his domineering presence is gradually disappearing, due to the fact that the members of the phalanx that make up the lion's shadow have been devoured several times, and the spirit of teamwork is also limited by the team members. Gradually, Vivian, who was wrestling with the dead soldiers, also relaxed, and she stood beside Ouyang Dao with a smile, "This is the weakness of the fake master," he said sarcastically.
"The strength that does not belong to them will eventually disappear" The strong soldiers who were still struggling in the quicksand gradually decreased, every member of the phalanx disappeared, the shadow of the lion behind the fallen soldiers disappeared a little, and the power of the master disappeared a little.
When most of the members were devoured, the dead soldier, who had broken free from the tentacles' grip and was re-immobilized, the power of the elite poured into his body, but the slippery, hard tentacles still did not move. He said: "I never thought I would die so sure. ”。
"There is no certainty, soldier. I can give you a proper way to die" The grounds of the manor were littered with hundreds of corpses, unwound but all with the same expressions of fear and struggle. Deciding the integrity of all corpses, Ouyang Dao removed the slowly rotating runes from his mind, and the sea of sand lost its energy support and immediately changed back to their original form... Black earth.
Ouyang Dao walked up to the dead soldier in mid-air, his face was full of loser's frustration, and the person who bullied him didn't see him. "You want to know who gave you the message, don't you? Yes, who told you? Tell me, I'll let you die."
"Why should I tell you? I'm going to die anyway."
"The faces of the dead soldiers once again show the desire for life"
"That's not the case". I'll tell you the name, and you let me go. Otherwise, there is no deal... ”
There's a little problem... Looking at the dead soldiers, Ouyang Dao was a little helpless, because the dead soldiers were veterans who survived the battlefield, so the extremely painful torture that ordinary people could inflict was estimated to have no effect. In order to survive the battle of flesh and blood, the will of a dead soldier must surpass that of humans. Then Smith gave Ouyang Dao a look, Ouyang Dao realized that he was asked to release the necromancer, this evil profession threatened to overwhelm the dead, the physical torture may be resistant, but the unknown necromancer brought the greatest fear.
I'd love to, but I'm not a necromancer... Ouyang Dao thought of the necromancer's iconic threat, but realized that he could not imitate either, the most famous method in the world was the Death Bone and the Death Orb, the former was said to cause terrifying flames ten thousand times more than physical pain, while the latter's soul could be locked in a 'dark room' and experienced thousands of years of terrifying legends.
Ouyang Daohui's ability has nothing to do with these two things. At most, they can only use the force of the wind to roll similar storm balls. Unfortunately, despite the fact that this orb, which is condensed from the energy of the wind, is similar in appearance to the spirit orb, anyone can see that it is an attack spell. In the dark and cold moonlight, in the courtyard where hundreds of corpses were buried, Vivien and Smith glanced at Ouyang Dao, and the atmosphere there was perfect for showing the cold face of the necromancer.
Ouyang Dao, the necromancer, decided to ignore their expectations and thought about it. The dragon in control unleashes a small piece of quicksand, in which the grains of sand are strengthened and spin like a whirlpool, and the swirling sand forms a hurricane on the ground, devouring the dead soldiers floating in mid-air. When the quicksand is below the knee, the feeling of struggling in the mud makes the dead soldier break out in a cold sweat.
As the corpse continued to be engulfed, the pressure in every corner would suffocate the dead soldier, and by the time the yellow sand reached his chest, his body was completely immobilized by the quicksand, the pressure stinging like a needle, and no part of his body was spared.
As Ouyang Dao's body grew larger, the pressure from all directions became so intense that the determined veteran screamed in pain as the sand began to devour his mouth. The dead soldier crawled out of the ground, shivering, his limbs swollen red and purple from the lack of blood supply, and if it weren't for Vivien's tentacles around him, he would have been reduced to a puddle of rotting flesh the first moment he left Earth.
The dead soldier spoke later, and according to his staccato account, Ouyang Dao knew that the mysterious informant was a short, blonde young man, and the dead soldier had first seen him a month earlier, and the other party had come to sell information, and after the two sides had traded three times, each time the news was harvested by the dead soldier. Three days ago, this well-informed man came to the door again and sold to Vivien for a jaw-dropping price was not news tonight, and the next three days of the dead soldier was just to gather his people, and this was the last time for him and the other side. It is worth mentioning that this well-informed person does not seem to be good at physical strength, and the gold coins traded last time were divided into three parts by the other party, and the other party took them, and the dead soldier even heard the tired gasps of the other party. Ouyang Dao and Vivian looked at each other suspiciously, confirming what news they asked, and the dead soldier also became one of the three people in the 'Underground Zombie Forest' and returned to the main house and was silent, Ouyang Dao and Vivian were thinking about the words of the dead soldier, at this time, Smith suddenly said, "Gaia, I have a question." ”
"Okay, you say," Ouyang Heartvalley and Smith took a deep breath, trying to suppress their emotions, and he asked in a matter-of-fact tone, "Gaia, why don't you save my guards before the dragon can cover the entire manor?" "And the guards... Ouyang Dao remembered that there were no casualties around him tonight, and the death of the housekeeper and the captain of the guard was a microcosm of the lives of a dozen servants and dozens of guards in the manor. The innocents hired by Smith died in the first wave of attacks, while Ouyang Dao was busy using dragons to control the army, and Smith's people didn't take him seriously at all.
"Their sacrifice is worth it, the dead lion will rush too fast, and the gargoyle, after all, is just my summoner and can't respond in time," Ouyang Dao explained, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with Smith hitting the nail in the head. "Have you tried, and after deciding that it might be too late, have you tried to confirm your guesses, or have you given up?" Ouyang said quietly that when he saw the members of the Dead Lion, the first thing he thought of was a group of thugs walking towards him. He couldn't let them escape. As for those who waste their time, who cares about their lives?
Just like the buildings that are destroyed after the war in the movie, the only thing that people notice is the battle between the monster and Ultraman, who cares about the lives that are not depicted. Extermination is often mentioned, with more than 100,000 people killed or injured in historical records. In the written record, human life is just a number. Smith glared at Ouyang Dao, but Ouyang Dao's answer disappointed him.
"I didn't try, I don't think it's necessary" "When the goblins messaged me, the manor guards and the Death Lion were already at war, I couldn't save a few, but it would scare them away"
"Tactically, the fragments that cannot be saved should play a more important role, those weak who are injured in the crossfire are used as bait, and those who are stronger are waiting, which is the right thing to do," he concluded in an increasingly mechanical voice, and human life has become an icy number. In a statement that shocked Smith, Ouyang Dao said: "Sacrifice in war is inevitable, and this is exactly the sacrifice that a competent commander should maximize to the maximum. ”。
"Whether it's tactically or strategically, my actions are normal," he pointed at Ouyang Dao with a trembling finger, his mouth opened several times, and he couldn't say a word. Ouyang Dao said to Smith: "All people are destined to die, some to waste their time, some to be glorified. ”。 "Your men have helped me succeed, each of them deserves to be paid well, and your mining company must have a pension, which is five times the standard"
"What do you think of human life?" You are willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of your so-called battle plan. Are strength and honor more important than life? Ouyang Dao looked at Smith in surprise. He had expected Smith to know the answer to this question, but he did not expect Smith to be involved in the struggle between good and evil, so it is not surprising that there is such naivety. Ouyang Dao didn't say a word, Vivian looked at her calmly, and said with a smile, Smith, do you know our miners? Even so, there is no shortage of workers in our mines. What do you think? Smith's face turned white all at once, and Vivien said in an extreme and cruel tone: "Sometimes, money is more important than life. ”
Smith was silent, only quiet, and Ouyang Dao smiled. That's it for today, Smith, you go and clean up the house, I'll go back to the sculpture hall When Ouyang Dao walked out of the door, he suddenly thought, "Smith, don't forget five times the pension, this is my reward for them," Ouyang Dao said with a smile, she left the forest and sat in the big house with Vivian and Smith, at this time there was a rustle outside the door, Smith looked up and saw Vivian using her tentacles to collect all the corpses.
Smith walked out in silence, closing his eyes one by one, their faces so familiar to him that most people could relate to him. The new butler was the nephew of an old friend of his. The captain of the escort is a mercenary, and they work well together. Several of the maids were introduced by his companions, and many of the guards were able to connect with his old friends. This is the lesson Smith has learned from his sloppy use of connected youths, and from his refusal to find the right person through an intermediary who can guarantee loyalty, but at the same time bear the pain of their death.
"Haha," Smith said with a wry smile. "How do I explain to my old friends that their deaths have a lot of value?haha, ridiculous comment "Let's be honest, let's find someone in the CIA" Vivien reached out and called out a group of shells, put them together, the corpse was swallowed, and the shells turned into a white line and fell into the left side of the pond in the front room. Don't forget who God is, and since you choose to follow, don't regret it. I hope you remember today's killing, God will not be soft on the enemy" Vivien's kind reminder was not accepted by Smith, he glanced hesitantly at Smith, who was in trouble, and then muttered something about Ouyang Dao. The proximity of the superior only leads to the indulgence of the subordinate. Humans are classless creatures.
They have no means and no power. Ouyang Dao was on his way back to the sculpture hall when he suddenly received a message from Vivian, thinking that the other party advised him to maintain a mysterious and indifferent tone, Ouyang Dao was a little confused. Back in the sculpture hall, Ouyang Dao understood what Vivian meant.
He shook his head with a wry smile. He understands what's wrong with his seemingly right actions: he's a clown who walks in the dark, cruelty and indifference are his rules, and the world shouldn't be on his side. All he needs is his people, those who obey him. He and Smith have a good relationship, but their values are diametrically opposed to the world, so how can Smith continue to be submissive? Our relationship is still so dirty.
Accomplices are not clean.
