Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　Significant differences were observed in residence, gender, age, physical condition, and other factors.

　But behind this complex diversity lies a profound and unified commonality—dissatisfaction with the status quo.

　In this context, there are naturally many individual Herrschers with thousands of members in the necromancer's territory.

　Looking back, when nuclear power plants around the world became the focus of conflict and confrontation, the thousand Herrschers in the Necromancer's territory did not stand idly by.

　Through the "Dominion Theater," a world bubble bestowed by "God," they each provided crucial support and assistance to the attack in their own unique ways.

　There was no other way; after the necromancer took over, all the nuclear power plants in his territory were shut down.

　Meanwhile, the research institutes of Velvi and Mebius, these two treasure troves of wisdom, were heavily guarded by the undead forces, becoming inaccessible forbidden areas.

　In the original world, the reason why the thousand Herrschers spared no effort to throw all individuals into a battle was because the bait set by Dr. Mei was too tempting.

　The lone challenge of Kevin, humanity's strongest fusion warrior; the personal involvement of Dr. May, a key figure in the Firemoth; the Herrscher cores of the Third and Fourth Herrschers; and the legendary [Blank Key].

　These interests converged into an irresistible force, making the thousand-strong Lawyer willing to take the risk.

　However, on this planet, the situation is quite different.

　Admittedly, the research institutes of Velvet and Mebius are of great value for attack, but their value is not enough to prompt a thousand Herrschers to assemble a team of more than ten people to carry out the operation.

　Without a sufficient number of individuals, it is impossible to break through the undead army's defenses in a short time and achieve the goal of a swift victory.

　According to information provided by an individual who was once a member of the Firemoth Council and is now one of the Thousand Herrschers.

　If you can't finish the battle quickly, you'll be caught off guard by the necromancer.

　And then, nothing happened.

　The Thousand Lawyer was certain that he would be crushed like an insect in the face of the necromancer's terrifying magic.

Chapter 482 The Plan of a Thousand Lawyers

　After ruling out the two prominent targets, the research institutes of Velvi and Mebius, the Tenth Herrscher, the Herrscher of a Thousand, was surprised to find that there were very few weaknesses in the vast territory of the necromancer that were suitable for a surprise attack.

　According to the information from the thousand-strong Herrscher who lurked in the human world and served as a mid-level bureaucrat under the necromancer, the necromancer's direct control over his territory was not strict.

　Those [territory-level soul collection arrays] scattered throughout the land are all built in the camps of the undead garrisons in various places, making it difficult for a few thousand individual Herrschers to penetrate and destroy them.

　The thousand-person law enforcer is a law enforcer, not a law enforcer.

　They must make direct contact with the main body of the magic circle to destroy it, which is almost an impossible task under the guard of the undead legion.

　The necromancer didn't seem to care much about other matters within his territory besides the research institutes of Velvie and Mebius, and the [Territory-level Soul Collection Array].

　As long as the annual tax revenue is collected on time and in full, he often turns a blind eye to the private activities of his subordinates.

　This relaxed management style, while implying a lack of control over the territory, also greatly increases the difficulty for the thousand-strong heralds to find effective targets for attack.

　This is also why the Thousand-Man Herrscher has never had one before.

　There's a real reason why they're making a big splash in the necromancer's territory.

　Compared to conducting small-scale, inefficient attacks within the necromancer's territory, such as killing only a few dozen ordinary civilians, the thousand-strong Herrscher clearly prefers to adopt a more sensible strategy.

　Lurking in the shadows, they secretly acquire supplies and weapons by utilizing the resources of the black market within the necromancer's territory, and then concentrate their power on precise strikes against other areas of human civilization.

　But now, things are different.

　With the adjustment of the Moth's combat deployment plan, the original attack plan targeting nuclear power plants now appears to be no longer suitable for the current strategic environment.

　In this situation, it becomes only natural to adjust the strategy in a timely manner and choose new targets for attack.

　Considering the complex situation and defense mechanisms within the necromancer's territory, the Tenth Herrscher, the Herrscher of a Thousand, began a meticulous intelligence gathering and analysis operation.

　They deeply understood that to find a breakthrough in the seemingly loose but actually impregnable territory of the necromancers, they had to rely on wisdom rather than brute force.

　The strong hone their claws, while the weak hone their wisdom.

　Compared to necromancers, these apostles of God are truly weak.

　Therefore, they understand even more clearly that if they cannot make full use of their wisdom, launching an attack rashly would be like walking into a trap, and they would likely be easily captured by the necromancer, and then suffer a merciless end like crushing a bedbug.

　Fortunately, the individual Herrscher who infiltrated the necromancers and served as a mid-level bureaucrat became their most valuable source of intelligence.

　Its unique perspective and position give wings to intelligence gathering work.

　Within just a few days, with the strong support of this inside man, the thousand-strong herald gained a detailed and profound understanding of the political ecology, military deployments, and even the dynamics of public sentiment in the necromancer territory.

　In the vast ocean of intelligence, they used their extraordinary insight, at the level of Herrschers, to accurately capture the long-dormant, pent-up power deep within the hearts of the people.

　It was a long-suppressed discontent and resentment, like molten lava surging deep underground, seemingly calm on the surface but containing terrifying energy capable of overturning everything.

　Once the time is right, this power will erupt like a volcano, completely shaking the existing order of the necromancer's territory.

　Yes, it is order.

　After discussion among the thousand Heralds, they had come to understand the cornerstone of the necromancer's stable rule over the territory—the unparalleled power wielded by the necromancers.

　As long as the necromancer's power continues to suppress human civilization on this planet, his rule cannot be replaced.

　Even if all the people in the territory rose up in rebellion, they would eventually be reduced to nothing under the iron hooves of the undead armies stationed in various places.

　However, the goal of the thousand Heralds is not to overthrow the rule of the necromancers; their mission is to purify human civilization, not to fight the necromancers to the death.

　Given that Moros has not yet established a magic academy to train magic apprentices on a large scale, they decided to temporarily set aside matters related to necromancers and instead use the undead army as a ready-made tool to cleanse human civilization.

　In this way, they can achieve their goal of purging human civilization while avoiding direct conflict with necromancers, thus achieving two goals at once.

　To achieve this goal, the Thousand-Man Herald needs to provoke the necromancer, causing him to order the undead legion to raise their swords against humanity.

　Wars begin when you want them to, but do not end when you want them to.

　Machiavelli's cautionary words are especially apt at this moment.

　The thousand Heralds were confident that once war broke out, under their subtle manipulation and assistance, the conflict between necromancers and human civilization would inevitably evolve into a long and bloody contest.

　At that time, they will be able to complete their mission of destroying human civilization without shedding a drop of blood.

　Queensland, Australia.

　After careful planning and preparation, the thousand Lawyers officially launched their action plan.

　They knew that provoking the necromancer and forcing him to incite the undead legion to take extreme action against human civilization was a complex and arduous task.

　But they also know that such a challenge is not insurmountable.

　In order to achieve their goal, the thousand Herrschers focused their attention on the two people most cherished by the necromancer—Mebius and Velvi.

　They meticulously devised a complex attack plan, aiming to put these two important figures in a life-or-death crisis, thus triggering the necromancer's rage.

　Meanwhile, the thousand Heralds also devised a series of scapegoating strategies, aiming to cleverly shift the responsibility for this tragedy onto human civilization, so that the necromancers, driven by anger and revenge, would launch a fierce retaliation against the human world.

　Once this plan is successfully implemented, the necromancer's wrath will sweep across the entire planet like a raging storm.

　At that time, the undead army, under its command, will transform into a blade of destruction, bringing unprecedented disaster and catastrophe to human civilization.

　In the matter of framing someone, the lawyers with thousands of followers have an unparalleled advantage.

　Among them are individuals who once held high positions and wielded power in human society.

　For example, the individual who is a member of the Moth of Fire council.

　The existence of these individuals provided them with unique conditions and resources for their framing operation, making the entire plan almost flawless and impeccable.

Chapter 483 The Thousand Herrschers in Action

　Thanks to the incredible, quantum-entanglement-like instant communication ability between the Tenth Herrscher and the Thousand Herrschers, their individual collaboration efficiency has risen to an unbelievable level of tacit understanding.

　As this force quietly infiltrated the territory of necromancers, individual Herrschers of a Thousand became the driving force behind the undercurrents, easily stirring up discontent and unrest among the people by exploiting the social fissures created by the oppressive rule of the bureaucracy.

　Meanwhile, at the new headquarters of the Firemoth, the Firemoth council member, who was also a member of the Thousand Herrschers, began his own actions.

　He presented a formal invitation to Member of Parliament Wang for a meeting.

　Faced with a meeting request from another extremely important member of the Moth Chaser Council, Member Wang naturally attached great importance to it and accepted the invitation with great pleasure.

　At the beginning of the meeting, the two exchanged polite greetings as is customary, creating an atmosphere that was both warm and dignified.

　After the pleasantries, the two quickly shifted the conversation to more substantive topics, officially beginning the meeting.

　"How about it, Wang? My plan sounds pretty good, doesn't it?"

　After briefly and concisely outlining his grand plan, Councilor Karl, who had already become one of the thousand Herrschers, stood with his arms crossed and legs slightly apart, adopting a posture of attentive listening.

　“Karl, your idea does show a certain degree of feasibility, making it impossible to ignore.”

　Having affirmed Representative Carl's proposal, Representative Wang continued without expression.

　"But do you think you can get my support for your plan based on this alone?"

　Congressman Carl was clearly prepared; he smiled slightly and responded confidently.

　"Of course, it won't stop there. As a gesture of goodwill for cooperation, I am willing to place all manufacturing resources, including the Rhineland factory, under our common goal, using this as the cornerstone of our collaboration."

　The terms were so generous that even Councilor Wang was moved.

　"Are you serious?"

　Looking directly into Representative Carl's eyes, Representative Wang asked with utmost seriousness.

　“I’m not kidding, Wang. As long as our plan can proceed smoothly and we achieve final victory, I am willing to give everything for that shared vision.”

　Representative Carl’s words revealed an almost obsessive conviction.

　Representative Wang remained silent for a moment, seemingly weighing the pros and cons, before finally nodding slowly.

　"With such sincerity, I truly cannot find a reason to refuse..."

　Seeing this, Representative Carl's lips curled into a satisfied smile.

　He extended his hand.

　"Have you enjoyed working together?"

　Representative Wang also extended his hand and shook hands firmly with Carl.

　"Happy cooperation!"

　Only after Representative Carl disappeared through the heavy soundproof door of the conference room did Representative Wang finally relax and let out a long breath.

　"Whoo~"

　Immediately, as if a huge burden had been lifted from his shoulders, he slumped weakly into his large office chair, a rare look of exhaustion on his face.

　At that moment, Councilor Wang realized that his back was completely soaked with cold sweat.

　"Negotiations in the same room as a Lawyer, the pressure is truly immense."

　Councilor Wang murmured to himself, his voice filled with emotion and a hint of barely perceptible lingering fear.

　Yes, he had seen through Senator Carl's true identity hidden beneath his appearance—one of the Thousand Lawyers.

　However, upon discovering this astonishing secret, he found himself in a dilemma, facing off against Congressman Carl.

　It is obvious that Representative Wang has no intention of risking his life to expose Representative Carl's identity.

　So, following his established negotiation strategy, he engaged in fierce bargaining with Congressman Carr.

　Originally, MP Wang was prepared to make significant concessions in these negotiations.

　But unexpectedly, the final result was that he unexpectedly gained access to all the manufacturing resources under the control of Senator Carl.

　"An order to deploy the airborne fleet? This is quite a grand scheme. It seems this Herrscher has quite the appetite."

　Thinking to himself, Representative Wang began to carefully review the negotiation process that had just taken place.

　He gradually realized that there might be a more profound plan and calculation hidden behind this negotiation.

　All of this seems to point to the necromancer and Dr. May.

　Thinking of this, Representative Wang's eyes became deep and complex.

　You all regard us ordinary people as pawns on a chessboard, to be manipulated at will. But have you ever thought that a pawn that has crossed the river can one day become a general?

　A resolute glint flashed in his eyes; Councilor Wang had already made up his mind.

　After receiving the order to mobilize the airborne fleet officially issued by Representative Wang on behalf of the Moth Chaser Council, Representative Karl rushed to the makeshift airport being built near the new headquarters of the Moth Chaser.

　As the most important military force of the Firemoth organization besides the Fusion Warriors, the Floating Fleet has always been regarded as the core asset of the Firemoth Council and is tightly controlled by a few senior councilors.

　Even though Dr. Mei, with the help of the necromancer, carried out a comprehensive reorganization and cleanup of the Firemoth Council, the floating fleet remained firmly in the hands of Councilor Wang and other senior members of the Firemoth Council, becoming their stable power base and inviolable private territory.

　The logic behind this situation is clear and profound.

　The unique nature of the airship fleet and the high level of specialization of its technical personnel mean that it cannot be easily controlled by force in the event of any emergency.
