Chapter 1753 Murphy's Law
The battle with the lizardmen was a complete failure, and the Undead King was under tremendous pressure. He had to bear the expectations of his subordinates and build the Great Tomb into a force that dominated the world, but he didn't expect that he would fail in the face of the small lizardmen. This was really a big blow.
He locked himself in the room to reflect, and the final conclusion was that the danger of the person behind the scenes was higher than he thought. He had to find a way to keep a low profile in the future. At least he couldn't launch an attack directly in the short term. He had to change another way.
For example, he supported agents and let them fight wars. Or he could directly seek the country, control the king or the lord to directly control a piece of land.
In short, he couldn't take action directly, otherwise the risk would be too great.
The only problem now was how he could convince these NPCs in the Great Tomb. These NPCs were so arrogant that they were very arrogant. If they slowed down their expansion, they might breed dissatisfaction. Would they betray him at that time?
In the final analysis, the Undead King was also very contradictory. He didn't trust the NPCs in his heart, but he took the NPCs' wishes as his own goals to maintain his position in the NPCs' minds. He just couldn't give up his position as the Undead King, and he was unwilling to part ways with the Guardians.
Because of this psychological burden, he was unwilling to go against the ideas of his subordinates. Although he was a king, he was also a puppet of his subordinates. Of course, the Undead King's humanity was slowly disappearing, and he would change when his humanity disappeared.
Now he still hadn't gotten rid of the attitude of an employee. Those NPC subordinates were all shareholders with dreams, and the Undead King was like a CEO. Although he was senior, he was still a wage earner, working hard for the goals of shareholders.
When his humanity disappeared completely, he would be the real Undead King. His goal was to bloodbath the continent, turn all life into undead, build a fortress with bones, and let fear fill the sun and the moon. NPCs had no choice but to submit. If they disobeyed, they would be killed without mercy. I was the only one in the world.
But obviously there was still a big gap.
The Guardians were all ashamed, thinking that it was their fault and that they had failed to defeat the Lizardmen. Especially the Insect King. After drinking the healing potion, the Insect King and Albedo had recovered. The Insect King thought it was his mistake, he underestimated the enemy, and did not formulate a better and tighter battle plan. He had to take the blame for the failure.
The Undead King looked at these self-blaming subordinates and first issued a self-criticism edict, rushing to admit his mistakes with his subordinates.
For a while, the master and servants were harmonious and sang a song of praise together.
When the confession meeting was at the end, the Undead King said that he wanted to keep a low profile, and everyone also said that it was better to keep a low profile, although they were not very willing.
Seeing that his subordinates all agreed, the Undead King breathed a sigh of relief. Being the leader of a group of demons is still stressful, and he was afraid of being betrayed and retaliated by his subordinates. You can know a person's face but not his heart. Although his subordinates looked very obedient, the Undead King was still worried. If these subordinates were all upright people, it might be better, but unfortunately the evil setting could not be changed at all.
Since the Undead King has always been worried about his subordinates betraying him, then Murphy's Law will be activated, and the most worried thing will happen.
Duran appeared, and he found the vampire Lord, who looked like a 14-year-old lolita, but was actually an old monster with a necrophilia. She had the ability to absorb the enemy's magic value and use it for her own use, and she also had several magics to deal with undead life.
She certainly would not betray the Undead King, because the Undead King's skull was simply the most beautiful thing in the world in her eyes. She couldn't love him enough, so how could she betray such a beautiful skull? She and Albedo could be listed as nymphomaniacs, and they were even worse.
But for the sake of the Undead King, she had to betray, Duran said so.
Shalltear Lord looked at Duran who suddenly appeared with caution. She still remembered that Duran single-handedly broke through the Great Tomb, and now he suddenly appeared, there must be a conspiracy. As for Duran's stupid words like "for the sake of the Undead King, you must betray", she would never believe it.
"Don't you think this is funny?" The logic of this sentence itself is problematic. What the Undead King needs is obedience, and her betrayal must be a bad thing for him, how could it be a good thing?
"You don't understand this. You should also know that many of your abilities are used to target undead life." Duran persuaded.
This is true. Shalltear cannot deny that her ability is indeed aimed at the Undead King.
"What the Undead King lacks now is confidence. You also saw that he retreated so much because of a failure. Can such a king satisfy you?"
At this time, the synchronizer was almost crazy. This Duran was really shameless. He even provoked the relationship between the time traveler and the NPC. They all said that the loli vampire should not be fooled by him. He is a big liar.
The lizardman hero was fooled by him and finally died. Don't be fooled, otherwise your result will be the same.
"..." Shalltear really doesn't like the timid Undead King. The king should not be afraid of not obeying. This is the real king.
"Your ability can help build up the Undead King's confidence. Think about it, you betrayed him, and then you were beaten to death by him. You can use your sacrifice to encourage your king. Isn't that very inspiring? Is there anything greater than inspiring the king? So you are not a betrayer, you just love him deeply, just in your own way."
Shameless, the Synchronizer felt that this God was really despicable and had no bottom line. He actually fooled the loli vampire like this and loved her deeply. This was obviously a lie.
However, Shalltear was thinking, dying for the Undead King, it was really a lofty goal. Although every guardian said that they could die for the king, no guardian had died so far. Albedo almost died to protect the king. Now it is obvious that the Undead King's attitude towards Albedo has changed.
If I don't take action, the Undead King may only have Albedo in his heart and not me. This is not okay, so in order to make the Undead King remember me forever, I have to die for him.
It has to be said that the thinking circuit of the bad guys is different. When the Synchronizer learned about the twisted thoughts of the Lord, he was silent. Betray for the sake of favor, be the enemy of the Undead King, and then die in his hands, so that the other party will remember me forever, this brain circuit is simply invincible, even the concubines in the harem do not think in this way when competing for favor.
Nothing will be left after death, is it really so important to leave a memory behind?
However, once this twisted idea is formed, it can no longer be stopped, and it snowballs and gets bigger and stronger. Finally, Shalltear decides to follow Duran's advice. She wants to betray and finally sacrifice herself for the king in order to inspire him.
