Chapter 1048 The Temptation of Evil

"You want me to make an enemy of the whole world?" Kerwin's eyes widened, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

He couldn't believe in his dreams that this mysterious guy in front of him actually had such arrogant and terrifying thoughts.

Zhang Cheng spread his hands with a half-smile: "Why not? Think about it, when will those kings and dukes who are used to being aloof and aloof pay attention to a country noble like you who lives in a remote area. I guess they will In their eyes, you are just an insignificant watchdog, used to defend the borders of the civilized world and resist the invasion of the wild land. Don't tell me that deep down in your heart, you don't have the slightest bit of knowledge to overthrow them to the ground and then step on them hard. The urge to kick."

"Are you crazy? This kind of thing is impossible to succeed!" Kerwin couldn't help but retorted loudly.

As a lord, he may not be the smartest or cunning, but he must know how to assess the situation best, so he is very aware of the income gap between his territory and those of lords in wealthy areas.

And income means stronger strength. You can recruit elite soldiers with warrior levels to form an army, and attract a large number of spellcasters to work for you.

As the so-called powerful army is, without exception, it is built up with massive gold coins.

With such a huge economic gap, trying to make up for the gap through quantity is simply a fantasy.

After all, Kerwin had witnessed with his own eyes the bloody scene of thousands of barbarians living in the depths of the swamp attacking the border fortress, only to be brutally slaughtered by a garrison of less than three thousand people.

It is estimated that if he changes his focus and becomes the enemy of the kingdom, the end will not be much better.

"How do you know it's impossible to succeed without trying it? Believe me, as long as you nod, I will provide you with endless soldiers. One hundred thousand, one million, ten million, in the face of absolute numerical advantage, you Your enemy will never be much stronger than a newborn baby. In addition, I also promise to give you the power to become the legendary great hero who can defeat ten thousand people." Zhang Cheng undoubtedly sensed the thoughts in the other party's mind and took the initiative to increase his chips. .

In any case, he needs to remain quiet and mysterious, and must not be discovered by the masters, otherwise trouble will soon follow.

"But doing this will make me lose the foundation of my rule! Controlling monsters? How do you think most civilians will view me? They will regard me as an enemy, and would even choose to flee rather than live in my ruling area. "Kerwin clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he expressed the greatest resistance.

no way!

Almost all intelligent life forms live together in groups as basic units.

They recognize each other's blood, identity, cultural and religious habits, and at the same time instinctively reject other ethnic groups that are incompatible with themselves.

Not to mention alien life, as well as different branches of an intelligent life, it is very likely that they will hate each other.

Therefore, once a ruler begins to manipulate another species to kill his own kind, the people will immediately have extremely strong negative emotions. It is not worth making a fuss about the possibility of riots overthrowing the existing ruling class.

Of course, Zhang Cheng knew the consequences of doing this. He leaned forward slightly and said in a very low voice: "What does it matter? If those stupid civilians try to escape, it will be the implementation of the joint sitting law. One person escapes and kills the whole family. A person fled and killed ten neighboring households. Guess, when faced with the threat of death, will they choose to report the escaped person, or will they be willing to sacrifice the lives of their relatives and friends to protect the escaped person?"

"You...you are simply a devil!" Kerwin's voice was trembling, and he finally realized what kind of guy he was dealing with.

evil!

dark!

tyrannical!

cruel!

The most important thing is that the other party did not hide even a little bit from the beginning to the end.

He simply couldn't imagine how such a terrifying person could exist in the world, and how he developed such a dark personality.

"Devil? Hahahahaha! No, dear Kerwin, the word devil does not suit me. Well, now tell me your choice. Will you actively accept the reality of becoming an agent, or will you be forced to accept it?" Zhang Cheng laughed and issued an ultimatum.

In fact, if it wasn't for a little more fun, he could have completely replaced the lord in front of him by modifying his memory or even directly creating a perfect clone.

But it was too boring to do that, and there was no way to pass the boring time, so it was more interesting to leave this person with the potential for betrayal.

"I...I am willing to be an agent." Kerwin struggled for a moment, and finally lowered his head and chose to compromise.

He doesn't want to die!

I don’t want a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years to be cut off in my generation.

"Ah! Wise choice! Congratulations, you made a right decision, time will prove everything. In order to express my sincerity, I will show you something next to enhance your confidence." With that, Zhang Chengchong stood aside The young man waved. "Ellens, take him around for a tour."

"As you wish, Master." The young thug put his hand on his chest and bowed slightly, then dragged Kerwin, who was like a walking zombie, and disappeared around the corner of the steps leading to the lower level.

Listening to the footsteps gradually disappearing, Zhang Cheng pursed his lips and murmured in a voice that only he could hear: "Now that we have an agent, the next step is to start a war on this planet, with blood. and death to test my control over the rules of the universe. As for whether life on this planet will become extinct because of this, it depends on their luck."

…

At the same time, the remaining troops, who were stuck on the cliff and unable to advance or retreat, were still anxiously waiting for news.

As the sky became darker and darker, they all began to feel strong uneasiness and fear in their hearts.

Especially the monsters constantly wandering outside the parapet, which caused great pressure on everyone. In addition, there was nothing to use as fuel to light a bonfire to dispel the darkness. Every time the sky became darker, the tension would rise.

"Damn it! Do you think the lord will abandon us?" A young soldier couldn't help but ask first.

"Shut up! Don't ask questions you shouldn't!" the veteran next to him scolded angrily.

"But so much time has passed since he left. Even negotiations must have a result, right?"

"Child, don't presume to speculate on the mind of a powerful spellcaster. Their thoughts are different from normal people. Be patient. As long as the lord is not an idiot, he will definitely be able to reach an agreement with the other party."

"No! Look! What is that?"

A mercenary with sharp eyes suddenly stood up and pointed at the huge shadow slowly rising from the woods in the distance.
