Chapter 649
Entering Dihua City [Seeking Recommendations and Monthly Tickets]
“You guys, after you’ve conquered the world, when it’s time to govern it, you can’t be so reckless.”
Don't be too murderous; these are all valuable assets for us to acquire in the future.
We should still show some tolerance towards creatures that can be taught and educated.
"I will follow the teachings of the Supreme One."
Cocytus, Shalltear, Sebastian, Demiurge, and the others bowed to Chen Hong in unison.
But seeing the somewhat bewildered looks on Shalltear's and the others' faces, Chen Hong still let out a soft sigh.
These guys are either from the extremely evil camp or the neutral camp.
The entire Great Tomb of Nazarick is almost entirely dominated by the evil faction.
Sebastian, the old butler, is an extremely unconventional and benevolent man with an off-the-charts sense of justice; he's practically an anomaly.
Demiurge, meanwhile, felt a flash of white light from his glasses as he pondered:
"Your Highness's words must have a profound meaning!"
"First of all, as the supreme, noble, and powerful Dragon Aspect, the Supreme One is also a marginalized member of the Great Tomb of Nazarick guild. It is impossible for him to have any sympathy for lowly monkeys."
"Secondly, the Supreme Being said that one should not kill too many people when governing the world."
Conversely, if we're conquering the world now, wouldn't we be able to slaughter everyone we want?
"However, the Supreme Being is, after all, the supreme ruler, and his image must be glorious and majestic."
"I understand now. The Supreme Being is giving me a hint. He needs a white glove."
"Hahaha, let me, Demiurge, bear the sins."
"These lowly, filthy monkeys, I, the demon Demiurge, will clean them up."
"It is enough for the Supreme Being to show his mercy to the ignorant and foolish masses."
"As for cruelty, let me, the demon Demiurge, show it!"
"No one is more loyal than me, Demiurge!"
"Humans are creatures that are base to the core. Only when they are tempered by a miserable and dark life and then lured by a hard-won ray of light will they obediently listen and cherish the hard-won light and kindness."
"Light lies ahead, darkness lies behind; the path to salvation lies within it!"
"I have come to understand the methods of governing the world and the art of ruling."
"This method and technique will remain unchanged for all time!"
"It's nothing more than the same thing in a different guise."
"I, Demiurge, have understood the essence."
"Truly worthy of being the Supreme Being, to think so far ahead."
"Now is the time to conquer the world, so we should carry out a thorough massacre and cleanse the area to deter the villains."
"If the Supreme Being were to bestow some more mercy and favor, these monkeys would be grateful, reducing the cost of rule and enhancing the stability of the regime."
"When the time comes to rule the world, we must restore production and make the lambs produce plenty of milk."
Then it extracts nutrients layer by layer to strengthen itself.
If they misbehave, remind them of the past, recall the bitterness and appreciate the sweetness, and give them a good talking-to.
If you can't understand the tapping, then skin them alive, pull out their tendons, break their bones and suck out their marrow, and physically eliminate them.
Unless they form an organized force, what can mere monkeys do to cause trouble?
It was just a retaliatory crackdown.
I will take the essence of the world and use it to nourish the Great Tomb of Nazarick, thus consolidating my power. With a single thought, I can suppress the world and forge an immortal dynasty.
For all eternity, there is no power to resist.
"Always hang a phantom bone in front of the dog, so that he will always have hope, always have something to look forward to, and never be able to turn things around."
Ahead, the light of hope is fishing; behind, the darkness of despair is chasing.
He was told to run his whole life, without stopping for a single moment.
"Create value for us all, to nourish us!" "Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!"
"It turns out that the greatest despair in this world is not darkness, but a ray of hope within the darkness."
"I, Demiurge, am still not evil enough!"
"I have figured out what true evil is."
"The wisdom of the Supreme Being is truly unfathomable, far beyond my reach."
Feeling Demiurge's inexplicably fanatical gaze, Chen Hong was somewhat bewildered.
But he didn't care; perhaps this guy had just become a bit eccentric again.
Ignore him.
Chen Hong shook his head, ignoring it, and continued to focus on the battlefield.
By this time, the kingdom's army had been completely defeated and almost entirely wiped out.
Chen Hong, mounted on his dragon horse, waved his hand:
"Let's go into town!"
"Waaah!..."
As the deep sound of horns rang out, Black Goat led the way, and elite soldiers in full armor marched into the city in two columns.
Cherubim guarded the area, female warriors surrounded it, and demons carried their scepters.
The procession marched into the kingdom's capital in a grand procession.
Under Chen Hong's orders, no one was harmed in the area they passed through. Instead, a large army was dispatched to control the city gates and patrol various places to maintain order.
Many who took advantage of the chaos to burn, kill, and loot were executed on the spot, serving as a deterrent to the public.
Even so, the entire city's population remained terrified at the sight of this alien army.
Non-my family, its heart must be different.
This instinctive resistance and fear is inevitable and can only be addressed gradually over time.
Chen Hong and his men rode their horses through the streets, while the people on both sides knelt in fear and panic, not daring to speak loudly for fear of attracting attention and being accidentally killed.
Brian, a blue-haired swordsman, quietly looked up and sized up Chen Hong and his group.
The more he looked, the more horrified he became, his eyes filled with fear.
During the previous war, he took advantage of the chaos to leave the city and secretly fight against the undead skeletons, and even fought against a Valkyrie.
But the result was far beyond his expectations, and he was almost beaten to the point of having his Dao heart shattered.
His swordsmanship, honed over many years and a source of great pride, was easily defeated, causing him to lose his will to fight on the spot and flee to save his life.
At this moment, he was so frightened by the aura of Chen Hong and the others that he broke out in a cold sweat, his mind clouded, and he was almost broken by the cruel reality.
Fortunately, he was ultimately a man with a persistent pursuit of swordsmanship, retaining the last bit of stubbornness. Though bent, he remained steadfast in his sword spirit, yearning to go further, challenge the strong, and wash away his humiliation.
With a complex mix of stubbornness, fear, and longing in Brian's eyes, Chen Hong and the others walked away without even glancing at him.
The procession arrived at the palace, where the warring nobles finally reached a consensus and, led by the old king, arrived late.
“The sinners, along with the nobles of the Kingdom of Li Yestige, request to submit their surrender.”
"We beseech the Supreme Ruler to grant us an opportunity to serve the Great Ruler!"
The old king held the surrender document in both hands, knelt down with a thud, and bowed his head to the ground, adopting an extremely humble posture.
Regardless of their inner thoughts, the nobles all knelt down before the cold blades.
They all acted like quails, hoping to go unnoticed and not be used as a scapegoat.
Unfortunately, Chen Hong wasn't buying it.
"Hmph!" Chen Hong, seated atop his tall horse, looked down at everyone and coldly replied:
"I have only heard of surrender documents that were presented without a fight, with people kneeling and welcoming the surrender when they came out of the city."
I have never heard of a defeated city falling to its gates and a surrender document being presented to the kneeling officials. (End of Chapter)
