Chapter 16: The Great Evil God, the King of Thieves, and the Tapir (2-in-1)
??β OK, this is also cleared. β
In an ancient tomb, a young man resembling Tapiri is directing a group of tomb robbers, who skillfully unload a stone slab from the wall and smash it to pieces.
In the center of the shattered stone slab, a hieroglyph with the inscription "Atum" can be seen β a stone tablet that records the real name of the "nameless pharaoh".
Although the work is quite efficient, a look of fear can be seen on the face of each tomb robber - they did not come here to rob the tomb of their own free will, but there are countless necromantic warriors behind them who are serving as overseers, and the slightest carelessness can cut off the heads of these tomb robbers with lifeless knives.
Anyway, tomb robbers are creatures, and in Egypt, which values tombs, no one cares about death, and even the people have to celebrate. Of course, behind the strict laws was the high income of tomb robbing in Egypt.
"That's why I can find so many tomb robbers at any time......" Looking at one of the tomb robbers working next to him, the thief king tapir smiled evilly and said, "The tombs of the pharaohs are too rich, so that this creature can't be killed in this country." Of course, now it's cheaper for me ......"
Although he was once a tomb robber, since he was captured by the Egyptian royal family some time ago, the thief king's subordinates have fallen apart. Although he had long expected that the people gathered because of interests had no loyalty, when Tapir Liang had just come to this world, he couldn't help but scold his mother.
His opponent is the supreme Pharaoh and he is a thief who has just been arrested, and the distance between the two is too far apart for a good woman to cook without resources.
But fortunately, as the spokesperson of the great evil god Zoak in the world, the new King of Thieves as a player is not completely without his own command.
Looking at the necromantic legions walking beside him, the corners of Tapir's mouth were hooked, revealing an evil arc - it's strange, this smile of the King of Thieves seems to outsiders to be cruel and cold, but in the eyes of those who are familiar with him (or non-human?), the King of Thieves at this time is completely "revealing MMP in his smile".
The Necromantic Legion, a power that the former King of Thieves did not possess, is a resource that Tapir can command as a "player" who fights on behalf of the great evil god Zoke, and it is also an important part of his ability to plan his march against the Pharaoh.
Sounds cool, right? Necro Warriors don't get tired, don't fear death, and are perfect warriors......
If it's not too stupid, the above words are all right.
In fact, a day has passed since he came to this world of memory, and Tapir Liang has had enough of the fact that his subordinates are a bunch of brainless necromancers. Can only accept simple instructions?That's okay, anyway, Tapir Liang didn't plan to let these empty-minded guys do any complicated actions in the first place, they can help the King of Thieves cut people.
But the King of Thieves soon discovers that his men are the legendary "False Eyes"! At best, they are fake eyes with knives (and occasionally riding horses)!
Well, that's probably a bit wrong to say - because even a bunch of real and fake eyes can at least do some work, right? You can always open your vision and scout when the player isn't there, right? At least it's better than the two or five boys who are dragging their feet, right?!
For example, when robbing the first tomb to erase the name of the Pharaoh, the King of Thieves asked some of the necromantic soldiers to "guard the door" after killing the king's tomb guards. This should have been a very simple order, but what was the result? Good fellows, after hearing this order, they really just "guarded the gate"! If the other side did not attack the gate, they would remain motionless and wait for death! The Egyptian army set up a ballista in front of them and prepared to attack them with fire, and they didn't even send cavalry to stop it! The military priests were preparing a big magic trick in front of them, and they didn't stop it at all! It was really a matter of "guarding the gate" wholeheartedly!!
When Tapir, who was destroying the "Name of the King", saw the influx of troops and military officers, his heart almost collapsed - if it wasn't for Dil Bondo's injuries and desperate protection of the lord, it is estimated that this RPG game would have been cold before it began.
In this way, when leaving, the Egyptian army did not forget to give Tapir Liang and the tomb robbers led by him a ruthless blow, and the tomb robbers team was directly reduced by 1/4 in that 10,000 arrows. If it hadn't been for the new undead legion summoned by Tapir in time to deter these guys, they would have run out long ago.
So when robbing the second tomb, Tapir, who had learned his lesson, changed the order to the army of the dead from "guard the door" to "slaughter me when you see the living". As a result, the hardened necromancers were easily led away by the Egyptian army on a few fast horses, leaving the king of thieves alone to watch the swarming enemies in the night.
In that battle, first of all, fortunately, the "name of the king" there was not deeply hidden, and it was easily found and destroyed, and then the thief king tapir Liang still relied on the power of Dil Bondo to release the sealed "Time Machine God Yafu Jie" to finally force a bloody way, otherwise he was afraid that he would be cold again......
After experiencing these two thrills, at the location of the last "Name of the King" seal, Tapir Liang chose to personally command the legion throughout the whole process, and sure enough, with the command of a few necromantic legions that would not be blind to fight, the guards of the royal tomb were easily solved: after Dil Bondo killed the young Egyptian general who had caused a lot of trouble to Tapir, the enemy army surrounded by the necromantic legion soon began to rout, and was captured by Tapir in large numbers.
After handing over the captives to his necromantic guards, Tapir led the tomb robbers to destroy the last place of the "King's Name".
Looking at the shattered slate, Tapir Liang was very satisfied - although he relied on cheating to enter this world a few days before the game, this time of hard work was not in vain: these nasty "names of the king" were finally cleaned up by him in advance.
Originally, his plan was not like this, he should not have fought the Egyptian army so early, but directly led the necromantic legion to attack the royal capital, and killed it at a time like the Pharaoh's succession ceremony, and first recklessly saw if he could get the thousand-year-old artifact - after all, the first contact between the "two players" is very important, because after the player comes into contact, he will receive the attention of the highest level of the game, and his actions will be guarded against no matter how covert.
And it is definitely a crazy idea to raid the palace on the first night and attack at the time when the "Millennium Artifact" is most concentrated! This is very dangerous, but it is not without a chance of victory; although the possibility of defeat is great, once it succeeds, you will be able to harvest multiple "Millennium Artifacts", so that the victory will directly advance to your side!
And in the original world line, Tapir Liang almost succeeded in this assault: the carelessness of the unprepared priesthood at the beginning gave him a chance. In the end, if the game hadn't summoned the "Giant God Soldier of Obelisk" in time, there would have been no less than two "Millennium Artifacts" that would have been snatched by Tapir Liang that night.
......After the last stone slab was also shattered, Tapir Liang did not directly dump the broken stone powder and leave, but looked back at his necromantic legion and those tomb robbers, as well as the captured Egyptian army and the accompanying military officers, and then thought: [Although the longer the time drags on, the greater the advantage for the game as the Pharaoh, but at least for now, his biggest hole card "The name of the king" has been eliminated by Uncle Ben. This means that Uncle Ben now doesn't need to worry about any bugs that jump out of this game, and he can start to plan for the next step......]
The so-called next step is actually related to the true and false eyes of the Necronomicon Legion: the Necromantic Legion is indeed unstoppable under the command of Tapir, but Tapir knows that sooner or later he will have to face a master like the game, and he will always face a time when he will not be able to participate in the command of the army.
In the original world line, the necromantic legion near the tapir or the great evil god could make the Egyptian royal city boiling with more than ten or twenty horsemen, and when the tapir and other masterminds were not there, these necromantic legions also dealt with miscellaneous soldiers: not to mention being singled out by the Pharaoh alone, even high school students such as the city and Honda could fight with them in hand-to-hand combat, and even suppress them to some extent, do you say you are not ashamed?
Therefore, Tapir knew that he needed an "assistant" to assist him now, and now he had a very good option......
"Bang Bang Bang ......" The footsteps of the dead spirit sounded, and at the same time, Tapir Liang heard the sobs of a group of young girls.
[It's coming...... It's also time. Tapiri sat up from the ground, and then looked at the flattering leader of the tomb robbers and the necromantic soldiers behind him, who were holding a group of girls in ragged or coarse linen clothes, all with frightened expressions on their faces.
"My lord, I've already brought it for you~" The leader of the tomb robbers flatteringly squeezed to Tapir's side - this guy has a bit of a brain and knows how to take refuge in himself, so Tapir Liang also gave him a small task: let him lead a team of necromantic soldiers to a nearby port to grab a few boatloads of smuggled slave girls, and if the number is not enough, go to a nearby village to make up.
After hearing this order, the leader of the tomb robbers showed an expression of "understand, understand, understand", and then completed the task with great speed: the "goods" in the port were indeed insufficient, and he specially went to the nearby villages to loot a lot to get enough people.
Of course, in order to please this mysterious being, the leader of the grave robbers deliberately chose the girls - of course, if he knew what these people were for, he probably wouldn't have been so troublesome.
After the maidens were brought in, a large number of previously captured Egyptian troops were also brought in, and behind each soldier was a cloaked and armed necromantic warrior - in an era when copper weapons were still basically used, the steel knives of the necromantic soldiers could indeed be said to be divine weapons, and if they had a brain, Tapir Liang felt that he could even save the steps of collecting the seven artifacts to unseal the Great Evil God.
The soldiers and maidens knelt all over the ground, and the twelve priests who assisted in guarding the tomb were all captured, and not a single one escaped. Unlike the soldiers, who were all male, five of the twelve priests were women, and when they saw the large number of girls being escorted in by the necromancers, they had a look on their faces that could not bear to watch.
Many of the young soldiers were shouting "what kind of good man this is", which of course neither the tapir nor the necromantic warrior bothered to listen.
At the same time, the tomb robbers, who had been busy all day, were overjoyed - they thought that these girls were used to reward them with "prizes", and looking at the number of people, it was estimated that four or five people were enough.
For a while, the tomb robbers felt that this adult was quite good, not to mention his strength, and he knew how to sympathize with his subordinates.
However, no one has noticed one thing: if anyone counts it, they will find that in this royal tomb, if you don't count the twelve priests, the tapir himself, and the leader of the tomb robbers, then the ratio of men to women among the remaining living people has reached a perfect ratio of 1:1!
"You're doing a good job, now, stand back. The leader of the grave robbers hurriedly retreated to the back after Tapir's order, and then, at the signal of Tapir's eyes, all the necromantic warriors began to move......
"Ahh
"Let go of me!
"You...... What a bastard you are!"
......
With all but Tapir Liang looking in shock, dozens of tomb robbers were stabbed to death by the first and then thrown into the pit that had been used to store the smashed powder of the stone slabs!
"You......" an older priest looked at it all with a shudder, "you're not human!"
"When did you get the illusion that I am a human being?" Tapir Liang glanced back coldly, and then frantically opened his arms and said, "Since your beloved Great God Commander did such a thing in my hometown, for the sake of revenge, Uncle Ben no longer intends to be a human being!"
The "......" priests looked at each other and didn't say a wordβthe sentence of Tapir Liang just now was too informative, and they couldn't understand it for a while......
"From now on, throw all the 'materials' into it!" Tapir Liang waved his hand, and for a while countless tears fell, the last screams of the girls before their deaths and the roars of the soldiers before their deaths began to intertwine in this royal tomb, and Tapir opened his arms as if he was not in hell on earth, but listening to a beautiful symphony in the theater!
Soon, the last maiden and soldier were also killed and thrown away, and the tomb began to gradually regain its peace......
"It's also a blessing to have them buried in the royal tomb, isn't it?" Tapir Liang turned his head and stared at the twelve military officers, with a strange smile on his lips.
"They have this privilege, and of course you have ......" Tapir Liang gestured with a look, and at this time, before the priests could react, they were stabbed to death by a necromantic warrior to a male priest!
"Ah...... Ah......" The young priest stretched out his hand helplessly, he was a talented person, he was one of the more promising of the new generation of probationary priests, and he was also born into a noble family, and he wanted to confess to a female apprentice priest named Manna after this operation, but now he could only sleep in this lonely desert......
"This one is extra - you regret you can't share the same burial chamber with everyone else. Tapir Liang said indifferently, as if he had just killed a chicken, and then he pointed to the old priest who had angrily reprimanded him before, and said with an evil smile: "And you are also redundant;
"I ......"
The old priest looked at Tapir Liang in a daze, not knowing what to say.
"Others...... Let's get on the road!" Tapir Liang waved his hand, and the steel knives of the necromantic soldiers slashed down!
ββββββ destroy the dragon gondoraββββββ
Blood flowed into the stone slabs, gradually forming seven shapes......
The blood of the soldiers and the local inhabitants mixed together and became the material for dark alchemy......
One man and one woman, paired ......
That pair of ...... Desperate eyes!
"Ahh
And this hell ...... It's not the first time I've seen Aknati β he's even directed the scene himself!
"...... of the village of Kreelna," trembled in horror, and Aknadi muttered......
And on the other side, the tapir who felt the gaze of the "Millennium Eye" smiled evilly, and said in his heart: [The seed has been planted, so, see how long you can endure it?]
