"I'm sorry, Mr. Ainz, I failed to capture a prisoner, and I got so many death knights that I was seriously injured... Please give me the death penalty immediately!"
"Cocytus."
The voice came, and although it lacked tone fluctuations, one could feel the person's concern.
Cocytus tried to get up from the bed, but was held down by a cold bone hand.
Ainz just looked at Cocytus quietly. The Zerg warrior, whose whole body was protected by a hard carapace, was seriously injured. The beautiful carapace like ice crystals cracked a lot of lines like glass, leaving smooth curves on the edges that had been melted by extremely high temperatures.
Cocytus's breathing is not as strong as before, and his body is trembling slightly. This guardian of Loyalty to Ainz, Loyalty to Great Tomb of Nazarick is suffering from shame and pain.
For a long time, Cocytus raised his head and begged humbly to Ainz, "Master Ainz! Please give me another chance! This injury was only because I was soft-hearted. I will never let Great Tomb of Nazarick's honor be shamed in my next attack."
"Quiet! Stupid warrior! Your destiny is decided by Master Ainz!"
The person who yelled at Cocytus was Demiurge. He looked like Frost and showed an inhumane attitude in his movements.
Demiurge doesn't hate Cocytus for behaving like this, but rather wants to help Cocytus avoid Ainz's possible anger.
He played the red face so that Ainz could better play the white face.
Of course, this is just Demiurge's possible calculation of Ainz's next action. What kind of punishment the Supreme Being will impose on Cocytus, who made stupid mistakes that caused Great Tomb to be humiliated, is a riddle that he cannot answer...
"Alas..."
Ainz sighed, and took his hand away from Cocytus's shoulder, moving all the way to the huge wound on his chest.
He wanted to touch it, but he was worried that Cocytus would be in pain.
What a huge wound... The outer shell was shattered, and the flesh and blood inside was burnt and scorched, and you could even see the ups and downs of the internal organs inside...
Ainz looked at it, feeling sad for Cocytus's injury, and then a huge anger enveloped his reason.
Although these guardian NPCs were created by his friends, Ainz has long regarded these NPCs as his precious children!
Now seeing that the child he cherished was so seriously injured, Ainz also felt a lot of dissatisfaction with the guild 'Imperium of Man'.
Ainz's silence made the guardians uneasy. After a long time, Ainz suddenly asked.
"What are those who attacked Cocytus doing now?"
Albedo immediately answered, "The Assassin Insect we sent out have already done reconnaissance work. Those people are building defenses around a portal-like thing."
"Portal?"
Ainz's rhetorical question made it difficult for Albedo to answer, but she still said bravely, "This is just my conjecture... The shape of the door is roughly a white crack. No one can use this thing to get in or out, and no one can see what is going on inside."
"That's it..."
"So Master Ainz, what are we going to do next? Kill all those people?" Albedo said these words with uncontrollable hatred in her tone. She was set to hate the human species. If Ainz hadn't been suppressing her, she would have killed all the humans in the Sorcerer Kingdom.
Now that Cocytus has been harmed by this group of humans, the contempt and bloodlust that Albedo has been holding in his heart can no longer be concealed.
"Master Ainz! Let me lead the team!" Shalltear on the other side requested to fight. She had felt extremely guilty for drawing a sword against Ainz, and she was eager to prove her Loyalty and value to Ainz through one action.
Ainz still hasn't answered, he is thinking about the strength of the player guild 'Imperium of Man'.
According to Cocytus, the thing that hurt him was just a round iron ball, which exploded in an instant with a heat comparable to that of the sun. Cocytus's ice could not stop such a terrifying heat wave.
Considering that the soldier used words to put down Cocytus's vigilance and get closer to use it, Ainz guessed that this one-time use anti-personnel weapon has a limited range of action and has an extremely obvious forward swing. As long as the guardian keeps a distance and remains vigilant, he can easily avoid it.
But Cocytus also said that the weapon named Volkite Gun in the enemy's hands also posed a great threat to him. If it were not for the shielding of speed and water vapor, Volkite Gun's shooting could injure Cocytus.
These weapons were collected and given to Shizu for study. She still could not dismantle these weapons or even use them. Shizu said that there was an invisible force in these weapons that was competing against her.
Ainz's guess is that the enemy guild has put a safety lock on the props to prevent the props dropped by them from being picked up and used by other guilds after their death.
There are such functions in games, but they are limited to mid- to low-level props. Some special high-level props and world-class props cannot be safely locked, and if they are lost, they are lost.
But if we guess based on mid-level and low-level props, the power of these props is too great. Could it be that the enemy guild has some game bug? It's like the damage increase overflow of Voodoo Blood buff a few years ago?
Ainz's mind was in a mess. He wanted to slam the table and shout, "All guardians will follow me to fight! Destroy them in the name of Great Tomb of Nazarick!"
He was also worried that this was the enemy's trap, and that something more deadly was still hidden in the secret and had not been activated. As soon as he got into it, failures would follow.
Just when he was deep in thought and had no idea, a confident voice came.
"I see, I already understand Master Ainz's arrangement."
Do you understand? What do you understand?
Ainz thought to himself that he both loves and hates Demiurge's brain-filling ability.
Sometimes he gets into trouble because Demiurge is overthinking, but sometimes he is deeply confused, and it is this guardian who guides him in the way forward.
Ainz pretended to chuckle a few times and praised, "Oh? I just pondered for a moment, do you know my arrangement?"
"Haha... Compared to Master Ainz's real thoughts, I only guessed one ten thousandth of it."
You guessed 1 in 10,000? What you said casually can match my three days of meditation...
Ainz continued to resist the urge to complain. He also wanted to see what good ideas this guy had. He continued to say to Demiurge, "Since you guessed it right, I will order you to inform the other guardians of my plan."
"I am happy to serve you." Demiurge saluted gracefully and explained Ainz's great plan to everyone...
