Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 264 Inducement
Some undead wizards are dissatisfied with my "tyrannical" behavior of relying on my tyrannical strength, and I also can't stand their entanglement in trying to take advantage of the fire to "earn more with less work". The seeds of jealousy and dissatisfaction have been planted in each other's hearts. As long as they encounter appropriate external factors, they may lead to direct disputes or even conflicts. Facing the trend that more and more undead wizards intend to get involved in the "wait and see" action that has always been monopolized by me, I have no intention of retreating, and those undead wizards who want to infringe on my vested interests have no intention of giving in. On the surface, they are temporarily doing their own things and not interfering with each other, but secretly they are on the verge of a war. They have deployed troops and strengthened their own strength to prepare for disputes that may break out at any time. For a while, the forces of all parties in the surrounding areas of the holy land "Karamayi" were mixed. There was a common "strong enemy" like me, and they also had their own selfish intentions, making the situation in this area more and more tense and full of heavy gunpowder. Perhaps the direct confrontation between the two sides is only a fuse away.
According to the news from Qingwu Feiyang, those undead wizards still have no intention of restraining their actions. It seems that they or their "masters" behind the scenes are really ready to take practical actions to test my attitude and bottom line. Xian felt that the conflict was inevitable and could break out at any time. I summoned Taotao from the "Hell Volcano" to the Lost Continent to accompany me at all times, ready to deal with the worst situation - to officially go to war with those undead wizards who want to "bully" me. In the face of their active provocation, I resolutely cannot retreat. Good people are bullied. As long as I make even a little concession under their pressure, it means the victory of the "anti-stupid camp". They will inevitably make further advances, and perhaps they will soon launch the next action to gain greater advantages. By then, not only the holy land "Karamayi", but also the "Hell Volcano", "Blood Pool", "Blood Pool", and even the twelve pharaohs of the mummy clan will likely become their next targets for intervention. If I maintain a tough attitude and never give in, I may still have a chance to protect my vested interests. Giving up resistance and retreating weakly will only encourage their arrogance and make them cheat me more and more in order to gain more benefits from me.
Whether it was Afeng, Xue Wuxia, or Qingwu Feiyang, they all confirmed this possibility and supported my attitude of forceful confrontation. Even Long Xing Tianxia acquiesced to my behavior and did not coordinate the tense relationship between me and those undead wizards in the "Dead Space" in the name of the Dark Council, trying to avoid this possible internal conflict of a relatively large scale. This is not only a provocation to me, but also to the Dragon School. The alliance of several major undead wizard forces implies that they or their representatives behind the scenes are worried and dissatisfied with the growing power of the Dragon School. They do not want the Dark Council to become Long Xing Tianxia's "one-man show" and want to maintain or even expand their respective powers. Therefore, I, who was alone and weak, was selected as a breakthrough point to see if I could suppress my high reputation and open up a new situation. In order to maintain my reputation and authority as "the world's number one undead wizard." I must face this test which is likely to be extremely difficult. Any retreat and concession will damage the reputation I have worked so hard to gain, and will deal a heavy blow to me and the morale of the Dragon Clan, affecting the reputation of the Tongxin Alliance and Long Xing Tianxia's plan to further expand its power. The most direct consequence is that the proposal that Afeng and Xue Wuxia are about to propose to fight against and destroy Hua Mantian's Huadu Mercenary Group in the near future may not be successfully passed in the Dark Council. It will be shelved, which is something I absolutely do not want to see. Therefore, no matter what I face, no matter how much it costs, I must win this battle. I even rejected Qingwu Feiyang's proposal to let the Northeast Undead Alliance participate and help me. The holy land "Karamayi" belongs to me alone. I want and must prove to other undead wizards that I have enough strength to protect it, so as to dispel their bad intentions towards me as much as possible. I dare not hope to solve it once and for all, and I must strive to deter more undead wizards who are dissatisfied with me, and try to avoid similar actions that seriously infringe on my vested interests in the future, so as to reduce the troubles that may be encountered in the process of other undead wizards' efforts to expand their power. I want to prove to all players that as the "world's number one undead wizard" and "world's number one master", and the only one in "Tianxia" who holds three artifacts, I am invincible in the "Dead Space". No one, and no one is allowed to deliberately offend me and challenge my authority, otherwise they will pay a heavy price.
While searching for the trace of the Undead Phoenix, I received a report from my subordinates that a group of , and there were many other undead wizard competitors around. I dared not delay and hurried over with a thousand black bone dragon guards who were guarding nearby. Since the situation in "Karamay" worsened and conflicts could break out at any time, for safety reasons, I increased the size of the guards corps from 500 to 1,000, to prevent some courageous players from taking risks and acting recklessly without considering the consequences.
Although the sacred place of the giant magician clan, "Karamayi", is just an altar made of several large stones that look ordinary on the surface, with no cover, it is only within a radius of 10 to 20 miles from the center. The surrounding areas are all quagmires or deep ravines, with complex terrain and a large mass of thick fog that almost connects them. When you are in it, you can neither see nor sense it. Except for the giant magicians who have unique "insights" and can see through the thick fog and are suitable for traveling in the fog area and are known as "Pan-Continental Travelers", it is extremely difficult for ordinary undead creatures to find the giant magician population hidden in the thick fog or deep ravines. This is also a unique ability for them to survive. Only when they enter the area close to the sacred place "Karamayi" and are no longer covered, can we easily find them, defeat them, and subdue them, and in order to hold the coming-of-age ceremony and increase their price. The giant magician population has to come here to worship, which is convenient for us to "wait for the rabbit by the tree". Compared to other undead wizards who focus more on waiting in the central area of "Karamay" without the thick fog, hoping to wait for a group of giant wizards to appear, I, who am more familiar with the geographical environment, start from the outer fog area. Taking advantage of the gaps between some deep ravines and the connection between the thick fog area, and knowing several common routes for the giant wizard group to "Karamay", I can usually find their traces in advance and defeat and subdue them before other undead wizards. Don't give them any chance.
According to the specific location of the giant magician group, I hurried to the designated attack location. If there is no unexpected situation, which causes them to suddenly change their route, this giant magician group will definitely pass by here. I have transferred a thousand black bone dragons stationed in the "Karamayi" defense zone. With my thousand black bone dragon guards, it should be easy to defeat a giant magician group. Since the experience of conquering the giant magician group of Giant Spirit, Duolong and Domodo, I have further understood that a giant magician group is not necessarily only 10 or 20 people. In principle, there is no upper limit on the number of people. It is said that there are even super-large giant magician groups with as many as 100 members. I dare not be careless again. I mobilized enough men to participate in each action to avoid temporary deployment of troops and wasting more time waiting. Anyway, I just issued an order, and the black bone dragons under my men ran errands, and I didn't spend much effort. What's more, the situation in "Karamayi" is so tense now. With so many new competitors, I need to hurry up and try to defeat and subdue the newly discovered giant magician population as soon as possible. Even if the cats smell the smell and come over, they won't be able to take advantage of me.
I really made a profit. This time I discovered a super large group of giant mages. There are a total of fifty or sixty members, five of which are eight-armed giant mages of level 10. It can be said that this is the largest group of giant mages I have ever conquered. I couldn't help but be surprised. If there can be eight-armed giant mages who have reached the middle level of level 10 or even the upper level of level 10, it will be even more perfect. Probably as more and more of our necromancers have been promoted to the ninth level of the necromancer profession, the number of high-level undead who died in the "Dead Space" has gradually increased. Take the giant mages as an example. In the past month, there was only one group of giant mages who came to the holy land "Karamayi" to worship, and at most there were only two groups. Now, especially in the past two months, there are at least two or three groups every month, and the number of giant mages in the group will also be more. From time to time, there will be eight-armed giant mages of level 10 mixed in. I have accumulated a team of giant mages with hundreds of people, which is enough for my battle needs.
I quickly formed an encirclement and was preparing to surround them from all sides and launch a strong attack, trying to defeat them in one fell swoop and subdue them as my subordinates as soon as possible. Suddenly, I received a report from my subordinates who were deployed on the periphery for alert missions that many black bone dragons were gathering in this area from all directions. I did not issue a mobilization order, and the black bone dragon garrison under my command certainly did not dare to act without authorization. Those must be the black bone dragons under other undead wizards. According to the observations of the black bone dragon subordinates who reported the alarm, their target should be where I am. It seems that they have discovered my abnormal actions and want to rush over to share a piece of the pie. It is estimated that they have been waiting in vain for a period of time without any gains, wasting a lot of time and energy, which has made those undead wizards very angry. Finally, they can't stand it anymore and want to openly turn against me. After judging the other party's intentions, I couldn't help but smile coldly in my heart. Not to mention them, I have been enduring and aggrieved for so many days. Seeing these "foreign invaders" ignoring my repeated solemn warnings and acting arrogantly in the sphere of influence I have determined, I have already been full of evil fire, and I want to vent it. Otherwise, I would not act so ostentatiously and not know how to restrain myself. I did not arrange for the black bone dragons to disperse and act secretly, allowing them to find my whereabouts so easily. Without a direct confrontation, those people will not give up. I must let them all know that I, the "world's number one undead wizard", am not in vain. I will not be afraid of their large numbers and will not allow them to be bullied without resistance. Sometimes, the absolute advantage in numbers may not necessarily be converted into a winning advantage.
I stopped the attack on the giant magician group that was about to be launched, leaving only 300 black bone dragons to surround them and closely monitor them, forcing the giant magicians to form a formation to guard them and take a full-scale defensive posture to prevent them from escaping. I will not cause more trouble for you. I will first resolve the disputes with those undead wizards, and then come back to deal with them if there is still a chance. I sorted out the formation of the black bone dragons, strengthened the protection of my land, and shifted the focus of attack and defense to the periphery. At the same time, I issued an emergency order to quickly recruit the other 2,500 black bone dragons stationed around, and let Yibo La also move closer to me immediately. Gather my forces as much as possible and prepare for a direct conflict or even a war. There are a total of 4,500 black bone dragons, unless Qiu Shui Changtian, Tianxing, Yeyou and more than a dozen other top undead wizards directly come forward to participate in this hostile action against me. Otherwise, even if the combined forces of other master-level necromancers can defeat me, they will definitely make them pay an extremely painful price and bear serious consequences that they can hardly afford. There are some people that they cannot afford to offend just by relying on their numbers.
The black bone dragons of other undead wizards have arrived here one after another, temporarily gathering at the periphery and not rushing straight over. Their number is still too small, and they belong to multiple players. If they dare to provoke rashly, the two thousand black bone dragons around me alone can completely defeat them, and give the undead wizards who participated in this operation a head start. However, in order to occupy the right, I will not weaken my momentum because of the wrong. Before the other party clearly expresses hostility, I don’t want to bear the notoriety of bullying others and actively attacking companions to provoke trouble. Even if I wait for them to gather enough people and have a head-on confrontation, the worst case scenario is that both sides will suffer losses, so what should I be afraid of!
There were still waves of black bone dragons flying here. More and more of them gathered here. It seemed that the undead wizards had reached a consensus and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to start a war and openly tear their faces with me to start a head-on contest. My black bone dragon subordinates had already prepared to fight at any time. They had moved closer to here with my arrival. Once they received the order, they rushed over even faster. Before receiving specific orders, they did not take direct hostile actions and did not interfere with each other's black bone dragon actions. My subordinates gathered in the inner layer, and the undead wizards' subordinates were scattered around, vaguely surrounding me, highlighting their numerical advantage, intending to show their strength and put pressure on me.
The remaining 2,500 black bone dragons have already arrived at my side. Taotao, who was originally accompanying me, was sent to ambush outside the encirclement. The enemy's power is too large, and the gap in strength is likely to be very large. Leaving it by my side will not play a big role. Once a war breaks out, it is easy to be injured and die on the battlefield. It is better to stay outside to take charge of the response, so that I can have a chance to ride it and escape the pursuit of the enemy. In addition to the 4,500 black bone dragons that have gathered, the only subordinates of other races guarding me are the high-level destruction knight Ibora with wind attributes, level 10, with a mid-level price. With a swift speed that almost no undead can match, especially the ability to summon Xiaobai to possess it to further enhance its agility and possess the ability of "instant teleportation", these black bone dragons of only level 9 and above do not pose much threat to it. Even if there are tens of thousands of them, it is only a mid-level level 10 that is difficult to fight. At least with its absolute advantage in speed, it will not have too much problem to break through the encirclement. There is enough space for it to dodge and move around, and it should be able to move easily among thousands of troops. Ibola can be said to be my most powerful trump card. It is my greatest guarantee that I have the confidence to fight against the coalition of undead wizards. Naturally, it can only play a more effective role if I carry it with me.
I quickly gathered my men and prepared for the contingency. The actions of other undead wizards could not be so efficient. They were numerous, and the black bone dragons they dispatched belonged to different undead wizards. It was very chaotic to gather them together. It took a lot of effort to reorganize and coordinate them so that they could take their positions and set up a good formation so as not to be confused and be regarded as a mob. Moreover, most of them had neither pet mounts to ride, nor could they transform into bats to fly, nor did they have "demon spirits" to summon and possess, to perform "instant teleportation" to travel. In addition, they were in different places, and it took a lot of time to notify each other and move forward one after another after receiving the news. Therefore, I did not see , and only saw the army of black bone dragons flying over in an endless stream. Seeing how big a show they put on, it turned out that their real purpose was not to "rob" this group of giant mages. They were probably trying to use this opportunity to talk to me clearly and force me to give up some of my vested interests, otherwise they would not let me get away easily. It would probably take some time for them to gather together. Seeing that my subordinates were already arranged, I simply went offline to rest for two hours, so that I could prepare for a tit-for-tat battle with them. Anyway, their target was me, and they would not attack my subordinates without me going online and without consultation. This was a prohibited behavior after public discussion among the necromancer players, unless they had clearly announced that they were sworn enemies. Otherwise, even reasonable things would become unreasonable, and their reputation would be tarnished once it was spread out. Anyway, the contradictions had accumulated for a long time, and a direct conflict was inevitable. I didn't care about their attitude, so I just let them wait for me to go online. Since they clearly wanted to turn against me and negotiate terms, they should still have some patience.
Six hours later, I logged back into Tianxia and returned to the "Dead Soul Space". The other party had basically arranged everything. The densely packed black bone dragons surrounded my 4,500 men in the middle. A rough estimate of the number should be at least 40,000 to 50,000. It was indeed a big deal, if Qiu Shui Changtian and the other dozen top-level undead wizards were not directly involved. After deducting the top players from the Northeast Undead Alliance and those who were unwilling to openly offend me, there should be at least a hundred undead wizards who have been promoted to the ninth-level undead holy magician profession and surrounded me. Qiu Shui Changtian and Ye You must have secretly supported them behind the scenes. Without their acquiescence or even promotion, it would be impossible to gather so many undead wizards who dared to openly hostile to me. It seems that they had planned it in advance and had planned a specific action plan, so they were able to dispatch so many men in such a short time and gather them in place to implement "military remonstration" on me. Force me to compromise.
I took the initiative to walk out of the group of black bone dragons, not even bringing Ibola with me, standing alone in front of the formation, and shouted at the group of black bone dragons surrounding me: "Is there anyone on the other side? Come out and talk. What do you mean by surrounding me like this? Do you want to coerce me and declare war on me?" My words were rude and full of gunpowder. So what if there are many people? Do they think that I will be scared by gathering a group of rabble? They think too highly of themselves.
After a while, the shadows of the black bone dragons on the opposite side swayed, and several undead wizards came out one after another, but none of them came forward to answer me. I was too lazy to urge them to speak, and take advantage of them with words. I quietly waited for the person in charge to appear. After waiting for a while, several undead wizards came forward together, and they were quite courageous. They also did not bring their guards with them, and they were not afraid of getting too close. I suddenly turned against them. After all, I am the "No. 1 Undead Wizard in the World", holding three artifacts, holding the two thrones of "No. 1 Corpse Emperor" and "Blood Emperor", with a higher mental power limit and the ability of "mental attack". In terms of my own strength, I am far superior to these undead wizards who are not so top.
He walked closer and stopped more than ten meters away from me. "Hello, Brother A'dai. I am the Count of Monte Cristo. These are the Red Devil, the Martian, the Freeman and Alexander. We heard that a population of giant magicians was discovered here, so we were all excited and could not help but rush over to join in the fun. We didn't expect that Brother A'dai had already taken the lead. We were entrusted by hundreds of undead wizards to come forward and negotiate with you about certain matters." He spoke politely, and did not rely on his large numbers to act in an overbearing manner from the beginning. It seemed that he wanted to use courtesy before force.
However, claiming to represent hundreds of undead wizards is really a big tone. They still want to use "public anger is hard to suppress" to force me to make concessions. Probably if those level 8 undead wizards with average strength are counted, they can probably gather so many. Even if they are promoted to the ninth level, those who can subdue a thousand black bone dragons can be called top undead wizards. For guys like them who are not too outstanding, it is estimated that they have not been promoted for a long time. It is good to subdue three to five hundred black bone dragons. The black bone dragons in "Dragon Bone Mountain" are all kings of the mountain. There is only one on a mountain, and they need to keep fighting. In addition, more and more undead wizards are involved in the subjugation, and the competition is getting more and more fierce. It is getting more and more difficult to subjugate now, and it takes more time and energy. I have heard of the names of these people. The Count of Monte Cristo, who is the leader, does not seem to be attached to our major forces. He and several undead wizards form a small team to act. Their strength is not top-notch. As for the four Martians, they have no direct connection with Qiu Shui Chang Tian, Tian Xing's Southeast Undead Alliance, Ye You and other forces. The reason why I chose them to take the lead is probably to establish an image of having a backstage and representing the interests and opinions of the majority of ordinary undead wizards, so as to further put pressure on me.
But I am no longer the person I used to be. With the gradual improvement of my strength and reputation, I am now considered "in a high position". My perception has also changed. I am no longer the kind of "honest person" who always thinks of compromise and is unwilling to easily cause trouble. In this virtual world, I have fewer concerns. Everything depends on strength. I have the capital and qualifications to be tough. "You dispatched tens of thousands of black bone dragons to surround me. Are you trying to negotiate with me? If I disagree, will you rush forward and fight me?"
"Those black bone dragons are just our personal guards. Each of them has no more than a hundred people. Compared with your guard corps, Big Brother Ah Dai, they are nothing compared to the big ones. They just appear to be more numerous when they gather together. There is no other meaning."
The matter was obvious. If I insisted on not giving in, they would definitely fall out. It was fine if I made some insinuations. I had no intention of getting entangled with them on this issue or talking nonsense. "You are surrounded by heavy troops. What do you want to discuss with me?"
"Big Brother A-Dai is the 'World's No. 1 Undead Wizard' with great strength. He has already discovered the existence of 'Karamay', the sacred place of the giant wizards, and has made a lot of money from it. We also want to get some of the giant wizards as our subordinates. We also hope that Big Brother A-Dai can help us, the newcomers, so that we can't monopolize all the benefits."
"You mean you want me to give up these giant magicians and let you conquer them?"
The Count of Monte Cristo nodded, "Brother A'dai should have conquered many giant magicians, so he naturally won't take these few seriously. They are just icing on the cake, but for us, it's not the case. It can be said to be a timely help. I hope you can understand our painstaking efforts. Of course, if you, as the first undead wizard to arrive at this group of giant magicians, feel unbalanced, you can also ask for a few, even one or two level 10 eight-armed giant magicians. I think other companions should agree."
Damn it, they were too arrogant. They took away the giant magician group I found, and they left me alone as if they were giving me alms out of pity. I was so angry that I almost exploded. I took a few deep breaths, tried my best to suppress the anger in my heart, and asked in a deep voice, "Is this all you want?"
"This is just the initial goal. It's rare that so many players who are interested in the holy land of Karamay have gathered here. After a brief discussion, in order to avoid malicious competition between each other, which may easily lead to or aggravate internal conflicts, we decided to unite to jointly develop the area around Karamay and evenly distribute the giant magicians who come to worship. I hope that you, brother Ah Dai, can also participate and preside over the specific work, so that everyone will not dispatch a large number of people to patrol nearby, causing duplication and waste. You can allocate some people to do other things, which is more conducive to everyone's development."
Finally, their hideous faces hidden behind their gentle appearance were revealed. This was their real intention. They wanted to open the holy land "Karamayi" and share the giant magicians they found with so many undead wizards. How much could I get if I just kept swallowing my anger? Such a request was simply too much. "Do you think I will agree?"
"Brother A'dai, if you have any opinions, you can raise them. We are here to negotiate. We should seek common ground while reserving differences and reach a consensus. Brother A'dai, you don't want to disappoint so many of us, do you?"
I frowned and said coldly, "I was the first to discover the holy land 'Karamay'. There is no need to share the benefits with others. Moreover, I have already issued solemn warnings many times before and declared my sovereignty over 'Karamay' and the surrounding areas. Anyone who breaks into this area without my permission is an invader. I demand that they withdraw as soon as possible and not damage my vested interests. Joint development is simply impossible. I will never give up my interests."
"Brother A-Dai, don't jump to conclusions. You are so sure. You can think about it carefully and weigh the pros and cons. As long as you agree to jointly develop 'Karamayi' and divide the giant magician equally, we can still discuss the specific conditions. For example, we can clearly stipulate how much share Brother A-Dai will take every month to ensure that you can continue to gain benefits. If everyone acts in unison, it will also save more time and energy that you would spend alone. Everyone will benefit. This is a win-win situation. Why not do it?"
