Chapter 16 The Great Evil God, the King of Thieves, and Tapir (Two in One)
"Okay, this place is also cleared."
In an ancient tomb, a young man who looked exactly like Tapir Liang was commanding a group of tomb robbers. They skillfully removed a stone slab from the wall and smashed it into pieces.
In the center of the shattered stone slab, you can see the hieroglyph written "Atum" - this is a stone tablet recording the true name of the "Unknown Pharaoh".
Although the work efficiency is quite high, you can see the look of fear on the face of every tomb robber - they do not come here voluntarily to rob the tomb, but there are countless undead warriors behind them who are serving as supervisors. If they are not careful, , the long knife full of death energy will chop off the heads of these tomb robbers.
Anyway, tomb robbers are such creatures. In Egypt, which values tombs, it can be said that no one cares about them even after they die, and the people even celebrate them. Of course, hidden behind those strict laws is the huge income from tomb robbing in Egypt.
"That's why I can find so many tomb robbers at any time..." Looking at a tomb robber working next to him, the King of Thieves Tapirang smiled evilly and said: "The tombs of the Pharaohs are too rich, resulting in this kind of tomb robbers." There are so many creatures in this country that I can’t kill them all. Of course, this is an advantage for me now…”
Although he was once the king of tomb robbers, since he was captured by the Egyptian royal family some time ago, the robber king's subordinates have fallen apart. Although he had long expected that people who gathered for profit would have little loyalty, when Tapirang first came to this world, he still couldn't help but cursed.
His opponent Yugi is the supreme Pharaoh, but he is a newly captured thief; the distance between the two is too far. Without resources, no matter how clever Tapi Liang is, it will be difficult for him to make a fool of himself.
Fortunately, as the spokesperson of the Great Evil God Zoke in the human world, the new King of Thieves as a player is not completely without his own subordinates.
Looking at the undead legions walking around him, the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing an evil arc - it's strange, the Thieves King's smile looks very cruel and cold to outsiders, but to those who know him well, In the eyes of humans (or non-humans?), the King of Thieves at this time is completely "mmp in his smile".
The undead army is a power that the former King of Thieves never had. It is a resource that Tapiryo can command as a "player" participating in the war on behalf of the great evil god Zoke. It is also an important part of his plan to march against the Pharaoh King.
Sounds cool, right? Undead warriors never tire, are not afraid of death, and are perfect warriors...
If it wasn't too stupid, all the above would be true.
In fact, one day after arriving in this memory world, Tapirang was fed up with the fact that his subordinates were all a bunch of mindless undead. Can you only accept simple instructions? That's not bad, anyway, Tapirang didn't intend to let these empty-minded guys do any complicated actions from the beginning. They could just help the King of Thieves kill people.
But the King of Thieves soon discovered that his subordinates were simply the legendary "group of false eyes"! At most, it’s a prosthetic eye with a knife (and occasionally riding a horse)!
Okay, that might be wrong - because even a bunch of real and fake eyes can at least have some effect, right? You can always open up your field of view to investigate when the player is not present, right? At least it can be better than the second and fifth boys who are lagging behind, right? !
For example, when robbing the first tomb to erase the name of the Pharaoh, the King of Thieves asked some undead soldiers to "guard the door" after killing the guards of the royal tomb. This should be a very simple command, but what is the result? Good guy, after hearing this order, they really just "guard the door"! If the opponent doesn't attack, they will stay motionless and wait to die! The Egyptian army set up their crossbows in front of them and prepared to attack them with fire, without even sending cavalry to stop them! The priest accompanying the army prepared a large-scale magic trick in front of them, but they didn't stop him at all! All you have to do is “keep the door” wholeheartedly! ! !
When Tapirang, who was destroying the "Name of the King", saw the army and the priests pouring in, his heart almost collapsed - if Dilbondo hadn't been injured in the battle and fought desperately to protect the Lord, he would probably have lost his temper. This RPG game has already gone cold before it even started.
In this way, when leaving, the Egyptian army did not forget to give Tapirang and the tomb robbers he led a hard blow. The tomb robber team was directly reduced by 1/4 in the salvo of thousands of arrows. If Tapirang hadn't summoned a new undead army in time to deter these guys, they would have run away long ago.
So when he robbed the second tomb, Tapirang, who had learned his lesson, changed the order given to the undead army from "keep the door safe" to "kill any living person you see." As a result, this group of smart undead souls were easily lured away by a few fast horses of the Egyptian army, leaving the King of Thieves alone at night watching the swarming enemies messing up in the wind.
In that battle, first of all, fortunately, the "Name of the King" was not hidden deeply and was easily found and destroyed; then, the Thief King Tapirang was released and sealed by Dilbondo. With the power of "Time Machine God Yafujie", he finally forced his way out, otherwise he might be in trouble again...
After these two great thrills, at the last place where the "Name of the King" was sealed, Tapir chose to personally command the army throughout the whole process. Sure enough, with the command, the undead army, which would not fight randomly, easily eliminated the guards of the royal mausoleum: after Dierbondo killed the young Egyptian general who had caused Tapir a lot of trouble, the enemy surrounded by the undead army quickly began to collapse and was captured by Tapir in large numbers.
After Tapir handed the captives to his undead to take care of them, he led the tomb robbers to destroy this last "Name of the King".
Looking at the broken stone slab, Tapir was very satisfied-although he entered this world a few days earlier than the game by cheating, his efforts during this period were not in vain: these annoying "Name of the King" were finally cleared up by him in advance.
Originally, his plan was not like this. He should not have confronted the Egyptian army so early. Instead, he led the Undead Army to attack the capital directly. He rushed in at the time of the Pharaoh's succession ceremony and tried to see if he could get the Millennium Artifact. After all, the first contact between "both players" is very important, because after the players contact, he will receive the highest level of attention in the game, and his actions will be guarded against no matter how hidden they are.
And it is definitely a crazy idea to attack the palace on the first night and choose to launch an attack when the "Millennium Artifacts" are most concentrated! This is very dangerous, but it is not impossible to win; although the possibility of failure is high, once successful, you can harvest multiple "Millennium Artifacts", which will directly advance victory to your side!
In the original world line, Tapir almost succeeded in this assault: the unprepared priest group underestimated the enemy and gave him an opportunity. In the end, if Yugi had not summoned the "Obelisk's Giant God Soldier" in time, there would be no less than two "Millennium Artifacts" that would be snatched by Tapir that night.
[Although I lost the initiative to attack first, it's not bad now...] After the last stone slab was shattered, Tapir did not dump the rubble and leave, but looked back at his undead army and the tomb robbers, as well as the captured Egyptian army and the priests who accompanied the army, and then thought: [Although the longer the time drags on, the greater the advantage for Yugi as the Pharaoh, at least now, his biggest trump card "King's Name" has been eliminated by me. This means that I don't need to worry about the existence of any bugs that jump out of this game, and I can start the next plan...]
The so-called next plan is actually related to the true and false eyes of the undead army: the undead army is indeed unstoppable under Tapir's command, but Tapir knows that sooner or later he will face a master like Yugi, and he will always face the time when he can't split himself to participate in the command of the army.
In the original world line, the undead army near Tapir or the Great Evil God can make the Egyptian royal city abuzz with just a dozen or so riders; and when Tapir and other masterminds are not around, these undead army can only deal with the miscellaneous soldiers: not to mention being killed by the Pharaoh alone, even high school students like Jonouchi and Honda can fight them evenly in melee, and even suppress them to a certain extent. Don’t you think you are ashamed?
Therefore, Tapir knew that he needed an "assistant" to assist him now, and now he has a very good choice...
"Clang clang..." The footsteps of the undead sounded, and Tapir heard the sobbing of a group of girls at the same time.
[It's coming... It's time. 】Bulliang sat up from the ground, and then looked at the flattering tomb robber leader and the undead soldiers behind him. The undead and tomb robbers were escorting a group of girls who were either in tattered clothes or in coarse linen clothes, and their faces showed expressions of fear.
"My lord, I have brought the people for you~" The tomb robber leader flattered and squeezed next to Bulliang - this guy had some brains and knew to rely on himself, so Bulliang gave him a task that was neither big nor small: let him lead a team of undead soldiers to the nearby port to rob a few ships of smuggled female slaves; if the number of people was not enough, go to the nearby village to gather.
After hearing this order, the tomb robber leader showed an expression of "understand, understand, understand", and then completed the task at a very fast speed: the "goods" at the port were indeed not enough, and he specially went to the nearby village to plunder more to gather the number of people.
Of course, in order to please this mysterious being, the tomb robber leader deliberately selected the girls - of course, if he knew the purpose of these people, it would not be so troublesome.
After the girls were brought in, a large number of previously captured Egyptian troops were also brought in. Behind each soldier was a dead warrior wearing a cloak and holding a steel knife - in this era when copper weapons were still basically used, the steel knife of the dead soldier could indeed be said to be a divine weapon; if they had a brain, Bulara felt that he could even save the step of collecting the seven artifacts to unlock the Great Evil God.
The soldiers and girls knelt all over the ground, and the twelve priests who assisted in guarding the royal tomb were all captured, and not even one escaped. Unlike the soldiers who were all men, five of the twelve priests were women. When they saw a large number of girls being escorted in by the dead, their faces showed an expression of reluctance to watch.
Many hot-blooded young soldiers roared words such as "What kind of hero is this?" Of course, neither Tapirang nor the undead warriors bothered to listen to these words.
At the same time, the tomb robbers who had been busy all day were all delighted - they thought these girls were "prizes" to reward them. Looking at the number of people, it was estimated that four or five per person would be enough.
For a while, the tomb robbers all felt that this gentleman was quite good. Not only was he powerful, but he also knew how to be considerate of his subordinates.
However, no one has noticed one thing: if someone counts, they will find that in this royal tomb, if the twelve priests, Tapir Liang himself and the leader of the tomb robbers are not counted, then among the remaining living people, The ratio of men to women is perfect 1:1!
"You did a good job. Now, retreat first." The leader of the tomb robbers hurriedly retreated behind after Tapirang's order. Then, with a look from Tapirang, all the undead warriors Start taking action...
"Ah! What are you doing?!"
"Let me go! I am one of my own!"
"You...you are such a bastard!"
…
With everyone except Tapirang looking shocked, dozens of tomb robbers were stabbed to death first, and then thrown into the large pit that was used to store the powder after smashing the stone slabs!
"You..." An older priest looked at all this tremblingly, "You are simply not human!"
"When did you have the illusion that I am a human being?" Tapirang looked back coldly, then opened his arms crazily and said: "Ever since your beloved high priest did such a thing in my hometown, for revenge , I no longer intend to be a human being!”
"..." The priests looked at each other without saying a word - the information that Tapir Liang just said contained too much information, and they couldn't understand it for a while...
"Start now, throw in all the 'materials'!" Tapirang waved his big hand, and countless tears burst into his eyes. The last screams of the girls before their death and the roars of the soldiers before their death began to intertwine with each other in this royal palace. In the mausoleum, Tapir Liang opened his arms as if he were being saved, as if he was not in hell on earth, but listening to a beautiful symphony in a theater!
Soon, the last girl and soldier were killed and thrown down, and the royal mausoleum gradually began to regain its calm...
"It's a blessing to be able to bury them in the royal tomb, isn't it?" Tapirang turned his head and stared at the twelve accompanying priests, with a strange smile on his lips.
"They have this privilege, and of course you do too..." Tapirang signaled with a look. Before the priests could react, a male priest was stabbed to death by an undead warrior!
"Ah...ah..." The young priest stretched out his hand helplessly. He had good talent and was one of the more promising among the new generation of trainee priests. He was also born into a noble family. Originally, he wanted to go to the Yiyi after this operation was over. A female trainee priest named Mana confessed her love, but now she can only sleep in this lonely desert...
"This is extra - it's a pity that you can't enjoy the same tomb with others." Tapirang said calmly, as if he just killed a chicken, and then he pointed at the old priest who had scolded him before, evil Xieyi smiled and said: "And you are also redundant; as for you, you are responsible for returning to the royal city and bringing this news to the Pharaoh King, to the great priest Aknadi, and to everyone, understand?"
"I……"
The old priest looked at Tapirang blankly, not knowing what to say.
"Others... let's get on the road!" Tapirang waved his hand, and the steel swords of the undead soldiers slashed down!
————Destruction Dragon Gondola——————
The blood flowed into the stone slab and gradually formed seven shapes...
The blood of soldiers and local residents was mixed together and became the material for dark alchemy...
One man and one woman, paired...
Those pairs of...desperate eyes!
"Ah!" With a frightened cry, the great priest Aknadi woke up from his nightmare - he seemed to have seen something with his thousand-year eye just now. He saw that in a royal tomb somewhere, a hell-like situation on earth was taking place. !
And this hell... This is not the first time Akhnadi has seen it - he even directed this scene himself!
"The village of Claire..." Trembling with fear, Aknadi murmured...
On the other side, feeling the gaze of the "Millennium Eye", Tapirang smiled evilly and thought to himself: [The seed has been planted, so let's see how long you can endure it? 】
