Abyss Demon of All Realms

After all, at the beginning of the establishment of this city, it was in the name of revenge on the [Illithid Empire].

Among the high-level people present, those who are extremely hostile to [Illithid Empire] are by no means a minority.

Letting them bow their heads to it is not much easier than killing them...

Chapter 978: Safe Death

"In the face of a catastrophe, perfection is too idealistic, and it is something that cannot be expected..."

"Necessary sacrifices are already inevitable."

"Even if all preparations are made, the difference is only how much will be sacrificed in the end."

"If I can't recognize this fact, then I have been working hard for many years, and when the [Illithid Empire] arrives, there will only be an end of the whole army."

"So, for the future of my family, whether you want it or not, I will still use all the resources to send the excellent seeds I have selected to send out this hopeless Jedi in exchange for an unknown future..."

He didn't care about those arrogant people who wanted to do everything possible to fight the [Illithid Empire] to the death.

[Fredos] explained the essence of the matter very directly.

As a guy who used to live in the dungeon as a low-level slave and feed on corpses, he belongs to the out-and-out practical school, and he pays attention to the truth and the result.

As for some of the people present, although they were capable enough, in his eyes, after all, they belonged to the immature type who had suffered less beatings and could not recognize the cruelty of the world.

Listening to his unquestionable tone, those who were dissatisfied were also angry about it.

"...Since you have already made up your mind, what's the use of asking us to come here?"

Faced with such doubts.

[Fredos] Still not angry.

Just calmly denied:

"Naturally useful."

"Because the managers of our cities, as those who are in charge of the overall situation, naturally it is impossible for all of them to leave. There must be some people who have to stay, clean up the traces left by the seeds when they left, and the remaining personnel of the commander, Prevent the situation here from completely collapsing."

"And, because of the importance of identity, after the defeat, our existence, compared with a large number of civilians, can create an illusion that we have been completely wiped out, thus inducing the [Illithid Empire] Letting go of vigilance, delaying more growth time for those hidden seeds..."

Speaking of this, [Fredos]'s words also did not have any intention of concealing his intentions.

In a calm tone of course.

Just stated a simple truth.

That is, some high-ranking personnel need to be present to use their lives to cover for the fleeing clansmen!

That is to say, not only some civilians will be abandoned, but even those in high positions will be abandoned...

A lot of deaths.

It is already visible to the naked eye...

But I have to say that although the method is cruel, this method is indeed one of the more feasible solutions.

At a real and sufficient price, in exchange for the enemy's confidence in their own victory!

Without sufficient cohesion and execution, it cannot be implemented at all!

But in the face of his words.

The faces of those other people who were likely to be harmed were not dissatisfied, but unreasonable. Many people's faces changed a lot!

Because, in their view.

This way of dying generously is easier for them to accept than being a leader but abandoning his subordinates to take advantage of the chaos and flee.

After a while, someone responded proactively:

"……I see."

"I understand."

"Then among the remaining personnel, count me as one."

"No matter what, I will try my best to resist until the last moment, and use death and blood to cover up all traces for you."

And after someone took the lead, more people immediately signaled that they could stay and die.

In terms of the number of people, it is several times more than those who wish to escape...

It's as if they have negotiated and are looking for death in a team!

The reason is also very simple.

As a group of guys who dared to secretly plan to challenge the [Illithid Empire] under the absolute disadvantage.

Many people present.

There is no doubt that they are all heroes or warriors who dare to face the bleak life!

Just like the first princes and generals of various dynasties who were responsible for expanding the territory and fighting with horses, they are far from comparable to the depraved and extravagant descendants behind.

As a person who rises from the grassroots.

Mere courage and courage are by no means what they lack!

On the contrary, it has the most things!

Mere death.

There is no way to scare them!

Even those who need to escape are mostly due to different positions, they are indispensable to those seeds, and they have reasons to leave...

otherwise.

I'm afraid they will also sign up to stay and die!

But looking at their scrambling to sign up, [Fredos] just shook his head calmly:

"If you don't need so many people, just leave about one-third of the staff."

"And I, as the first pope of the church, after passing on the position to others, I will also stay and die with you..."

Hear his decision.

Immediately, someone turned pale with shock and said:

"what……"

"This kind of thing is absolutely impossible!"

As the founder and manager of this city, [Fredos] not only provided people with technology and wisdom through scrolls, as the pope of the church, he is also the belief of [True God] in the mortal world. The incarnation, the status is like the pinnacle of Dinghai, commanding the overall situation.

So, I heard that he had to stay too.

Immediately someone retorted:

"It's better for you to leave. Let me pretend to be you and die on your behalf."

Face the kindness of everyone.

[Fredos] did not accept.

Just shook his head slightly:

"No need, a fake is a fake after all, it's more important to let the real thing die like me, and it will be more trustworthy in [Illithid Empire]..."

"And, there's nothing to worry about."

"Death is far from the end of us. In the holy kingdom of our lord, our souls will finally obtain eternal peace..."

After finishing speaking, he picked up a textbook that he wrote from the table beside him.

Turn to the first page of it.

Word by word, calmly recite the scriptures above:

"He is truth and all things."

"When we were alive, we were shrouded in His sight and will, serving Him as Lord. After death, our souls will also ascend to the kingdom that is not in the mortal world, and reach the end of our destiny..."

It's been a long time.

Until he finished reading that page.

[Fredos] just closed the book in his hand, and said calmly:

"Gentlemen, although we cannot enjoy peace and fulfillment in the mortal world."

"As an individual, I will die in a short time."

"But in the kingdom of my lord, I will wait for you to bring the final victory for my race and overthrow the [Illithid Empire] that has made us suffer for so long..."

Chapter 979: [King of Spirit Sids]

fifteen days later.

Still that city.

However, it is no longer as peaceful as it was before.

The cries of creatures, the sound of burning objects, the howling of strong winds, the chewing of flesh and blood being torn apart by sharp teeth...

Countless voices gather here.

Like the march of purgatory, it symbolizes the most primitive death and terror!

And the eye-catching crimson flames and bright red blood formed all kinds of incomparably beautiful and bewitching scenery.

Render the entire monotonous world into dazzling red!

Intoxicating!

Against the backdrop of such a scene.

Obviously, the facts are already evident.

This city has already been captured!

In just ten days!

Moreover, most of the time was actually spent by the other party on their way...

The real duration of the battle took less than four days in total.

at the moment.

On the streets filled with various broken corpses and building wreckage.

There is a large pit with a diameter of 100 meters and a depth of more than 40 meters, which was cut off in the middle.

Inside, several figures were surrounding the dead body in the middle.

Their identities, without exception, are all high-level [Illithids]—[Illithid Elders]!

Each has the power to command a city!

One of them, holding the broken head of the corpse, directly inserted his mouthparts into it without any hesitation.

Slowly sucking up the part of the brain that has been destroyed.

It didn't take long.

He pulled out his mouthparts, and replied to his surrounding companions with a gloomy expression:

"Another useless food. They covered part of their brains with spells in advance, thus preventing me from reading memory and knowledge from it."

This is not the first time this has happened.

Since they captured the city.

Although they managed to capture some high-level personnel and eat their brains.

However, due to the various precautions the other party had prepared in advance.

They are still unable to get the information they want...

As for those middle and low-level personnel, although they have not prepared well in their heads, their own status is not enough for them to know too much.

Therefore, even if the memory is successfully obtained, it is still useless.
