In Cold Weapon Era, no army can turn defeat into victory after entering a rout.
Therefore, not long after the horn of the entire army was sounded, the general who was almost hacked to death by his defeated soldiers became a prisoner and was brought to Allen.
Although he once attempted suicide to save his dignity.
But in the face of Claymore Warrior Superman-like speed, the blade was released before it even had time to cut the skin.
Seeing the miserable appearance of the opponent, as well as the anger and unyielding expression in his eyes, Allen asked with a disinterested smile, "Why, are you not convinced about today's defeat?"
"No! I admire the strong strength and strict discipline displayed by your soldiers and the transformation of Warrior. To be honest, as a general, not only do I have no dissatisfaction at being defeated by such an elite force, but I also feel honored. Fortunately. What really makes me feel dissatisfied and disappointed are my own soldiers. They have no sense of responsibility and pride as soldiers, and they actually wield swords at their companions and superiors in order to escape. If I can go back alive, I will catch these shameful deserters one by one."
When he said these words, the old general's tone was full of naked and undisguised anger.
From the blood stains on his body and the large number of dents on his armor, it is easy to see that he almost died at the hands of deserters several times.
"Are you resenting those soldiers for not staying with you and dying generously?"
Allen undoubtedly saw through the other party's thoughts, and the expression on his face suddenly became weird.
The captured general nodded vigorously. "Yes! In my opinion, as a soldier, from the moment you step on the battlefield, you must be prepared to kill the enemy or be killed by the enemy. If you are a coward who is afraid of death, you should not be greedy for the generous rewards you can get by joining the army from the beginning. But these guys actually chose to run away when the country needs them most to sacrifice their lives. They are simply a group of cowards who betrayed their oath. I despise them! Curse them!"
"Hahahaha! Your ideas are really naive." Allen couldn't help laughing. "Tell me, why do those soldiers stay for you alone, waiting to be slaughtered by an enemy you know they can't defeat? Or, why do you think your ideals are higher than the lives of thousands of ordinary soldiers?"
"You... you don't agree with me?" The general was obviously stunned.
He originally thought that the commander of this elite army would be moved by his "noble sentiment" of taking the initiative to stay and sacrifice.
But the cruel reality slapped him hard, and his whole body was stunned.
Allen sneered and asked, "Why should I agree with you? I guess in your eyes, you don't regard those ordinary soldiers as living people at all, just tools to realize your personal will, ambition and desire. Their death is just a series of cold numbers to you who are above you. Since you don't treat your soldiers as human beings from the bottom of your heart, why should they be willing to sacrifice everything for you, even their precious lives?"
Instantly!
The general's face turned pale, and his dry lips were trembling slightly.
Just like what he said just now, he never regarded ordinary soldiers of civilian origin as human beings, but only regarded them as tools to realize his ambitions, aspirations and ideals.
Not only him, but most of the generals and high-ranking officials in this country also have the same attitude.
In the eyes of the ruling class, only nobles with the same status as themselves can be regarded as human beings.
As for the lower-class civilians, they are just objects of exploitation that are slightly higher than slaves, nothing more.
But the deterrence and order established by the powerful military for a long time made this group of ruling class forget that the civilians were not willing to be exploited.
And this theory also applies to the military.
Why should ordinary soldiers of civilian origin and those male transformation Warrior who were treated as slaves obey the orders of officers and generals of noble origin?
The answer is stable order and deterrence.
But with the rebellion in the country and the disastrous defeat of our own side in the battle just now, order and deterrence no longer exist.
A large-scale rout is simply a normal thing.
After thinking about this, dense beads of sweat immediately appeared on the forehead of this general in his fifties and sixties.
"Ah! It seems that you have already figured out what is the biggest problem and crisis in your country, right?" Allen had a playful expression on his face.
"You... who are you? What do you want to do?" The general raised his head and asked sternly.
Allen shrugged his shoulders and replied, "What to do? Of course, destroy your country, kill all the ruling class and literate people, destroy all books, and let the entire civilization disappear from the long river of history forever, just like you have done to other countries and civilizations. Oh, by the way, I just went there not long ago Royal Court Meeting, I submitted a letter of challenge to the Emperor you are loyal to. Since I have said that I will fight until death, I cannot let you go, let alone take any senior officers as prisoners."
"What? Have you been to Royal Court Meeting?!" The general's expression suddenly changed.
He obviously didn't have much fear of death.
After all, from the moment he chose to stay, he was already prepared to die for his country.
It's just that the general couldn't imagine how the other party got close to the capital where there were heavy troops and the heavily guarded palace.
"Yes! Your middle-aged Emperor is a very interesting person. I very much look forward to seeing him be defeated by one failure after another, and finally turn into a hysterical madman and devil. Well, let's stop talking about it, It's time to send you on your way. Out of respect for your military responsibility and sense of honor, I will let you die a little easier. Ninth Tier Magic——Heart Mastery!"
The words just fell!
Allen raised his right hand and made a grabbing motion.
The next second...
A flash of red light spurted out from the palm, as bright and dazzling as blood.
The old general fell to his knees with a plop, covering his chest with a look of pain, and his eyes were full of fear of this unknown power.
He didn't understand at all why the heart in his chest hurt so much even though the other party didn't touch him, as if someone had crushed it with huge force.
But soon, the scene with his eyes gradually became blurry, his consciousness also disappeared, and the whole person collapsed on the ground.
You know without asking that this person is dead.
As Ninth Tier Magic in Overlord, except for a very few powerful individuals with strong vitality and magic resistance, no one can escape the control of this magic with the "instant death" attribute.
"Did you really kill him with magic?"
Ine Lily, who stood nearby and watched the whole process, showed an expression of extreme surprise.
Because she can be sure that Allen definitely did not use Life Energy or Yoki just now.
Allen raised a finger and instantly used magic energy to create a handful of violet magic flames. He responded with a smile, "Of course! You know, I almost became God of Magic in a certain universe. Using magic is as easy as breathing for me, no. Whether it is for killing or for creation and destruction. Now that the army used to counter the rebellion has been wiped out, I believe that the enemy will no longer act rashly. Next, you can start to implement the second part of the plan, either to collect the mob and start to restore order for actual occupation, or to drive them to continue to flee inland."
"Then what should we do about another country's massive expansion? I don't think the other country will just watch the rise of a third party on this continent."
Ine Lily was obviously very interested in the legendary magic. As he asked, he stared at the ball of Magic Flame.
This flame is different from ordinary flames in that it does not release any heat, but it gives people the feeling of being able to destroy everything easily.
"Don't worry, I will come to their door in person to give them a little warning." Allen said with undisguised contempt in his tone.
"Warning? Didn't you say you wouldn't use your own power to intervene in this war?" Ine Lily couldn't help but ask.
"Who said warning means the use of force? You know, when I declared war on the country behind the organization, I did not use any violence, but they were so scared that they almost peed their pants."
After saying that, Allen tore apart the space and got in, disappearing without a trace.
Seeing the space rift closing at an extremely fast speed, Ine Lily couldn't help but complain, "Yeah! You didn't use violence, but you hung the head of the organization's top leader, Lemoto, on the flagpole of the palace in the capital of the enemy country. Whose head do you plan to hang this time?"
Just when Ine Lily began to order the army to stop the pursuit and collect prisoners and trophies, Allen had quietly arrived at the residence of the Dragon's Descendants family.
At this moment, the usual Tranquility and peace are no longer here, only blood, minced meat and mutilated limbs can be seen everywhere.
Obviously, Teresa has just visited this place.
Some bodies that had just died were still steaming and had not completely cooled down.
She strictly fulfilled her promise, and after entering through the hidden entrance, she killed every Dragon's Descendants she encountered.
No matter whether the other party is an adult or a minor.
Since the appearance of Dragon's Descendants is very different from that of humans, there is almost no psychological burden when killing.
It is estimated that in the eyes of humans, they are closer to monsters like aliens than human beings.
"Have you started yet? It seems I came just in time." As he said that, Allen casually cut off the heads of Dragon's Descendants on the ground and threw them into a temporary space he created.
You don't need to ask to know that it is these Dragon's Descendants heads that are planned to be hung up this time.
He wanted to know how another country would react when it saw so many Dragon's Descendants heads hanging in front of its eyes.
Will it become hysterical and eventually self-destruct like the country behind the organization?
Or simply choose to surrender and integrate into the new era?
But before Allen could finish harvesting the Dragon's Descendants heads in front of him, he suddenly heard a deafening loud noise in the distance, followed by the ground starting to shake slightly, and at the same time there was a painful roar like a wild beast.
Following the direction of the sound, he vaguely saw a huge shadow.
If nothing else, Teresa should have found some unknown secrets hidden here.
No hesitation!
Allen, who has always wanted to understand the secrets of this world and the origin of Dragon's Descendants, rushed to the scene of the incident as quickly as possible without saying a word.
The first thing that caught his eye was a behemoth that was over 500 meters long and as tall as a ten-story building.
Different from those Dragon's Descendants's strange postures after awakening, this guy looks like a real dragon.
Although there is still a certain gap between it and the real Great Dragon. It has neither huge wings nor the ability to breathe dragon breath, but its head, claws and tail are all very similar to Great Dragon.
Especially those light yellow eyes, which exuded a certain kind of majesty.
In comparison, Teresa is as small as a fly, and can only move and dodge under the opponent's huge dragon claws and big mouth full of fangs.
Several times he swung his giant sword and hit the opponent hard, causing terrible wounds, but it didn't take long for him to recover as before under the amazing effect of Regeneration Ability.
While the two sides were fighting, the Great Dragon roared, "Despicable bastard! You killed all my descendants! I will tear you into pieces! No! No! Not torn into pieces! I will capture you alive and turn you into a new Mother Body to give birth to new offspring!"
"Oh? Are you their creator and father? The title Dragon's Descendants is really worthy of your name." Teresa had a signature smile on his face.
Since the characteristics of the Dragon's Descendants gene were retained when this body was created, she could clearly feel the blood connection and suppression.
Obviously, this ancient dragon-like life is the source of Dragon's Descendants, and it is also the best evidence of the lost civilization of an era in this world.
Especially the kind of energy that is almost the same as Yoki, but a little different. It can even be shaped into various forms including fire, lightning, frost, strong acid, etc. during battle.
"Hmph! Those descendants are just my test subjects to shape New World. After I capture you alive, I will use the interesting powers in your body to create more powerful and perfect descendants, and reproduce the glory of the great Dragon Race civilization. How can a lowly race like humans deserve to be the master of the world!"
After saying these words, which contained a lot of information, Great Dragon immediately jumped deep and was surrounded by red flames, and rushed forward fiercely.
The scorching temperature can be clearly felt even from dozens of meters away.
"Dragon Race? Civilization? I really want to have unlocked the secrets of this world."
Allen, who was hiding in the dark, touched his chin and smiled maliciously...
