Main Volume Chapter 105 Huge Information Gap
After a fierce battle, the gang defending the city gained the upper hand and it wouldn't take long for them to kill all the undead army. The remaining undead gang members either died or fled, leaving them no room for rebellion.
Zhang Yun estimated the time and thought that Ajid should have run far enough, so he flew following the guidance of the Deep Sea Royal Fang. It took him a few minutes to catch up with the fleeing monster.
"Hey!"
"Got you!"
"Is there someone?" Sensing something was wrong, Ajid stopped running, looked up at the sky, and found that the oriental man was chasing him on a flying monster.
Depend on!
Is this guy sick?
You've already broken my Sea of the Dead and know full well that I'm Ajid's man, yet you're still chasing me?
Could it be that you came here specifically for our Ajid?
Oh, that's all I can do. No matter where you came from, no matter how strong you are, I'm not afraid of you if we really have to fight...
After thinking about it, Carl exuded a yellow sand-like energy, casting several layers of magic shields for himself. At the same time, he summoned a circle of spirit balls and gems, which could be transformed into hidden weapons to fly towards the enemy at any time, or transformed into shields to protect himself.
Then, Zhang Yun slowly descended on a spirit crane, jumped in front of Carl, and looked at Carl leisurely, who was as if facing a great enemy.
"Master Karl, don't be so nervous. How about we find a place to have a drink and chat?"
"No time, my master is calling me, I must go immediately... and I have nothing to talk about with you!"
"Hmm? Don't you want to know why I know about your Ajide? And why I want to disrupt your actions?"
“…”
Carl thought of an explanation: What can I do if I want to find out? Now that the mission has failed, I can't create new undead. Staying here, whether fighting with you or "chatting" with you to exchange information, is unnecessary for me. It's nothing but a waste of time and doesn't help our plan at all.
Don't say that we shouldn't fight back after suffering a loss. We must fight back, but the plan to attack the Holy City is more important now, and I have no idea where you came from. If I waste time fighting with you here, I will suffer a greater loss regardless of whether I win or lose. It is better for me to destroy the Holy City first, and then concentrate my efforts on investigating your origins, and then I will take revenge on you severely.
After all, I am not one of those fools who don’t consider the overall situation. If I suffer a loss, I must pay it back double as soon as possible. As a result, I delay important things and suffer more and more losses...
On the other side, Zhang Yun started to talk nonsense: "You Ajid used to be very low-key, and you were very cautious even in your activities in the Kingdom of Alberia. Now you are suddenly making such a big fuss, even sacrificing the people of an entire city to create an army of the undead. I think it's not just because you don't like the gang in that city, right?"
"Want to attack the Holy City?"
"Eliminate the Shensheng Cult that is the most troublesome to you?"
Hearing Zhang Yun's words, Karl was stunned for a moment, then he realized that this guy must have guessed his purpose, rather than knowing the inside story, otherwise he would not have used such a tentative tone.
"Humph! Whether we want to attack the Holy City has anything to do with you? Are you a member of the Godly Life Cult?"
"Do I look like a Christian to you?"
"If it's not you, then don't worry about us. You have already destroyed the Undead Array, and the things you want to protect must still be there. I don't want to pursue your actions, so just quit while you are ahead and leave now..."
To Carl, Zhang Yun suddenly jumped out to disrupt his plan and was able to find out his origins and details. It was obvious that she was someone who had met with Ajid and was a powerful person.
Zhang Yun clearly knew that he was Ajid, and he was also aware of the trump card of sacrifice, which meant that he was very clear about how powerful Ajid was, and that there was almost no one in the world who could fight against all of Ajid head-on...
So, if it wasn't because his own "Undead Array" touched his interests, why would he risk offending a huge organization and jump out to eliminate his own array?
The interests involved...
Unless there is something he cares about in the desert city and he must protect it, all other possibilities are unlikely.
Otherwise, Zhang Yun could choose to leave the desert city directly. After all, he was very powerful and knew that he was Ajid. He would definitely let him go if he just had a little "chat" with him.
Also, the fact that Zhang Yun did not attack him immediately after he appeared meant that he was not Akito's complete enemy.
Otherwise, according to common sense, since he had a grudge against Ajid, he would definitely attack me directly as soon as he appeared like Effie did. Why would he be so leisurely chatting with me for so long?
Do you want to talk to the murderer of your father when you see him?
Why not just pick up the knife and chop him?
However, Carl's idea was good, but unfortunately he guessed all wrong. After all, he didn't expect Zhang Yun to have such a skill as "insight" that could figure out his background. He also didn't expect that the reason why Zhang Yun didn't attack him was that he wanted to continue to "cheat" him with the information he had "cheated" before and get some fresh information.
This is the legendary snowball...
There was also a problem on Zhang Yun's side. After all, his insight was not omnipotent. He did not realize that Ajid had made several backup plans and summoned armies of the undead in all the cities around the holy city.
He thought that Ajid had summoned the undead army in this city. Now that he had destroyed the undead army, Ajid's plan to attack the holy city would fail.
Because of this, Zhang Yun felt that Ajid was no longer a problem, so she wanted to spend more time "chatting" with Carl instead of just killing him with one blow.
If he knew that Ajid had three other cities with transformed undead armies, he would definitely not waste time and would have quickly killed Carl and then flew to the Holy City to support these potential allies.
so……
Both sides are wrong...
The result is the current seemingly inexplicable situation...
In fact, Ajid has the help of Edward and other members of the Divine Life Cult, plus the masters lurking inside the Holy City. They don't need to make a big fanfare to launch an army of undead to attack the Holy City. They can take down the Holy City with their own subordinates.
This is also one of the reasons why Karl did not have to kill Zhang Yun because the magic circle was destroyed...
However, the Ajid Organization was very cautious and would consider several aspects of each combat plan, just like the hunt for Lucina. It was a simple matter, but they considered "Lucina's escape", "she can only take a boat", "how to notify her companions to locate her", "how to deal with the support of the Great Xia Dynasty", etc., and made an almost foolproof super plan.
If it weren't for Zhang Yun's appearance, Lucina would have been 100% unable to escape. Even if she managed to escape once, the subsequent arrangements would be able to catch her again...
In addition, if Ajid fights the Holy City head-on, many of his followers will surely die, even the main members who have obtained part of Ajid's power. Summoning the phantom of the Ancient Evil God requires sacrificing the life of a main member, so this trick cannot be used lightly.
After comprehensive consideration, they added the "Sea of the Dead" layer of layout, which they had been planning for a long time but was only put into use now.
Look at how long it took Carl to join the Necromancer Gang, and how long it took the Necromancer Gang to grow from a small gang to a large gang. In addition, the other three cities use the same tactics...
It can be clearly seen that these Akides are really far-sighted. They make plans to be foolproof, consider all kinds of details, and like to think ahead!
It’s a pity that Zhang Yun’s variable is really hard to predict. No matter how careful Ajid’s plan is, he can’t stop such a sudden appearance of a time traveler, who is an ultimate hamster with ten years of inventory!
If it was another ordinary time traveler, without the help of the ten-year inventory, and only relying on the initial cheat code that can upgrade and summon heroes, that guy would have died in the first round of Warcraft tide, and would not have survived until now...
"Lord Karl!"
"If you want to attack the Holy City, perhaps I can lend you a hand?"
After hearing what Carl said, Zhang Yun blindly guessed that this guy had made a wrong judgment and thought that he was not Ajid's enemy, but was forced to go to great lengths to dismantle the Sea of Undead magic circle he had summoned in order to protect something in the Desert City.
Then why not play along and pretend that you have accomplished your goal, so it doesn't matter now. I want to attack the Holy City with you Ajid as compensation for destroying the magic circle?
Then I'll trick Carl again...
Carl sneered: "Humph, no need, we Ajid are not weak enough to need help from others!"
Zhang Yun said, "But your army of undead is gone. Without the help of these cannon fodders, if you want to attack the Holy City, I think a lot of people will die, right?"
"Or do you want to go big and directly sacrifice to summon those things and then destroy the Holy City?"
In an instant, two routines appeared. As long as Carl answered normally, whether directly or indirectly, or denied it, Zhang Yun could extract key information from it and then roughly guess Akito's situation.
Unfortunately, this Carl is different from the previous two Ajids. Since he can let go of his resentment and put the overall situation first, he directly chooses to give up attacking Zhang Yun and retreat. This means that he will not talk about things related to Ajid for the sake of momentary pleasure and expose his own information.
"Get lost now! Stop wasting my time! You destroyed my magic circle, which makes me very upset. I want to tear you in half!"
"so!"
"Don't get in my way!"
"I have something important to do!"
"If you continue to follow me, I will be rude. You don't want to annoy us Ajid, do you?"
After just a few words, not only did Carl not reveal anything Zhang Yun wanted to know, but he also secretly set a trap.
The general meaning is, I have figured out what you were thinking. You destroyed our Ajid , but I don't want to hold you responsible now, nor do I need your help. Hurry up and leave here, and don't bother me anymore.
However, although I don't want to hold you responsible, it doesn't mean that I'm not angry. On the contrary, I am very angry, but for some indescribable reasons I choose to ignore you!
You must cherish this opportunity. Don't mess with me. If you mess with me, you will mess with Akito behind me...
If Zhang Yun chooses to be obedient and leave immediately, it means that this kid is not a difficult character. After finishing the mission in the Holy City and freeing up his hands, he will find this kid and take revenge on him.
If Zhang Yun disobeys and becomes aggressive, it means that he has a strong backer and is likely a special mortal force that has connections with the top leaders of his organization. He must find a way to get out of this situation and not provoke this guy again.
If Zhang Yun took action directly...
It is certain that this guy is coming for me and wants to fight with me.
Although I don't know why he was hesitating and not attacking in the city just now, since I have given him chances again and again and he refused to accept them, there is no need to explore the reasons behind it. Since he is determined to die, I will just satisfy him!
Faced with Carl's threat, Zhang Yun would definitely not choose to leave. He also did not choose to be fierce to Carl or attack Carl directly. Instead, he suddenly changed the subject and went straight to the core of the problem in Carl's words.
"Karl, stop pretending. What do you mean by an adult calling you? Are you kidding me? If it was really an adult calling you, you would have figured out my identity from them long ago!"
“…”
"I know you want to capture the Holy City, but you haven't even captured the princess of the kingdom. What's the point of capturing the Holy City now? Are you going to alert the enemy?"
"!?"
Who is this guy?
You even know that we need to capture the kingdom’s princess?
And what does he mean by not catching anything?
Finally, Zhang Yun took advantage of the huge information gap and gained the upper hand again, scaring Carl.
However, although Carl was shocked in his heart, his face remained calm. He did not react at all and did not reply. He was unlike the previous tracker Ajith whose psychological defenses were instantly breached.
So Zhang Yun added more fuel to the fire: "Why? Your intelligence system is so bad? You didn't even know that the princess had arrived in the desert?"
“…”
Carl frowned, he really didn't know about this. After all, Lolo Island had blocked the island for dozens of days and no news had been leaked out. The poor Ajid, who was responsible for delivering the news, was also "intercepted" by Zhang Yun halfway.
Up to now, the news has probably only reached the cities near Lolo Island. Even the headquarters that controls the royal capital has not received the news of "Lucina's successful escape", let alone the news that has spread to the desert which is tens of thousands of miles away.
And Zhang Yun dared to use this matter to deceive Karl...
That was because, at that time, he saw Ajid using primitive manpower to deliver the message instead of using flying monsters, and he was very curious about this, so he specifically asked Lucina about the reason why Ajid used manpower to deliver the message.
Then they figured out that using flying creatures was unreliable, and using the kingdom's dedicated messengers was not safe either. Only delivering the message in person was reliable.
Therefore, Zhang Yun guessed that the information of Lucina's escape should not have reached Carl, and he did not know Lucina's current location, so he deliberately said these words to deceive him.
Even if Carl knew that Lucina had escaped, it didn't matter. He didn't know Lucina's exact location anyway, considering that she had just taken action.
Therefore, Zhang Yun was not afraid that Karl would doubt him. Even if he did doubt him, he still had other ways to reverse his words and dispel Karl's doubts...
What is the most important thing in this world?
Information!
If you know information that others don't know, you can use it to make money from them. The more you know, the greater the information gap, and the more money you can make. This is how IQ tax is cut, what a simple truth...
"So, Brother Carl, I'm sorry, you're going to have to bear the loss this time!"
"Who told me I know more than you?"
