Chapter 648: Monkeys Become Kings

Anyway, as long as one mutated, it was equivalent to being dead. At that time, whether it was a shelter, a magic desk, or a card, these things would all be useless.

So rather than being attacked by undead outside, it was better to stay in one's own nest.

If not mutated, there is a barrier as support.

If mutated, one couldn't care about so much anymore.

"Moreover..."

"Moreover?"

"The other party said the attribute values of those undead seem to be very high as well, at least higher than theirs."

"How is this possible?"

"Exactly. We are already Quasi-Evolvers. How could those whatever undead possibly be higher than us? They can't all be Evolvers, right!"

If Evolvers were so easy to produce, then why would they still be Quasi-Evolvers?

It was the same for those class holders.

Wasn't it because everyone couldn't become Evolvers that they settled for the next best thing and chose to be Quasi-Evolvers?

Now look at this. If you told me that all the Exorcists in Double Moon Bay had turned into undead, they could still barely understand it.

But if you say that these Exorcist undead are all Evolvers, no one would believe it.

After all, the entire Double Moon Bay has a permanent population of nearly thirty million.

Now they're suddenly written off as undead, and they're even Evolvers with higher stats than Exorcists. Who can stand this?

"Is there no way to confirm it?"

The commander-in-chief also didn't believe it, so he needed more intelligence.

Undead, he knew about them; there were sighting reports of their appearance in the central and northern parts of the continent.

But that kind of thing fundamentally couldn't possibly be higher than an Exorcist.

Or rather, as 'Exorcists', this kind of guy with no IQ, like a zombie, was originally within their hunting range.

Although he didn't know how these guys popped out, they were all widely distributed but scattered existences.

But now, they had actually mutated the entire Double Moon Bay all at once!

Was someone conducting an experiment?

Were those weak, slow-moving undead that appeared previously just early experimental models, and now the attack on Double Moon Bay is the official start of mass production?

This didn't seem to be impossible either.

But still that same sentence: what is needed now is intelligence!

"No... Yes!"

The brigade commander shook his head, originally wanting to say no, but changed his mouth temporarily.

"Is there or is there not?"

The commander-in-chief asked rather impatiently.

What do you mean 'no... yes'? Can't you speak more properly at a time like this?

"Yes, yes. There wasn't just now, but now there is."

The brigade commander wiped a handful of sweat.

"Oh? What's the situation?"

"Someone used Appraisal Glasses to take a look and found that the stats of these undead are the stats of an Exorcist plus the stats of an undead, which is why they are so high. Simply put, it's a one-plus-one model."

"..."

A one-plus-one model?

So stats can actually be stacked?

Wait... can't the stats on magical items also be directly stacked onto one's own stats?

This 'phenomenon' of an undead's attributes being stacked onto an Exorcist like a magical item isn't hard to understand then... my ass!

How on earth did these people mutate into undead!

The commander-in-chief knew the word 'mutation'.

After all, now whenever there was the slightest rustle of leaves in the wind on the continent, everyone could see people posting about it on the world channel.

So regarding mutants, or rather, the people of the Necromancer Race, the vassals of the Witch Race, he still knew about them.

But even those Necromancers weren't as frightening as these undead, whether in terms of stats or numbers.

And it was even this 'feat' of thirty million people collectively mutating achieved within one hour.

Yes.

No matter what the parties involved said.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Necromancer Race was a vassal of the Witch Race, and specifically a vassal of the Dark Witch Clan.

After all, the entire race was mutated from dead people saved by the Dark Witches' Resurrection Spell.

So it wasn't strange at all that they currently lived in the Forsaken Territory.

Wait!

Dead people mutating!?

The Necromancer Race is dead people mutating. Then could those undead be the same?

After all, when on Blue Star, the first thing associated with the word 'undead' was matters related to death.

Although he didn't know how it was on the Karim Continent.

But it was still necessary to investigate a bit.

Tap, tap, tap... tap, tap, tap...

Walking back to his desk, the commander-in-chief sat back down in his chair anew, and then pondered how to play this next move.

First.

An unquestionable point was that without the core layer and all the high-level executives, he could be considered the existence at the pinnacle of all Exorcists right now.

In other words, he could command all the Exorcists.

Under these circumstances, it was equivalent to being directly crowned king.

Although there was no such thing as a king or not a king among Exorcists, such a massive group indeed also needed someone to lead.

Otherwise, everyone would scramble around everywhere like headless flies and ultimately be defeated one by one by their enemies.

Second.

If Double Moon Bay was completely occupied by those undead, then that would be equivalent to a central blossoming within the entire Exorcist-occupied area.

And if these guys were allowed to charge out from Double Moon Bay, who knows what things would happen.

One must know that those unseen undead were all transformed through mutation.

If they had some virus on them, wouldn't other regions also be finished along with it?

After all, many works on Blue Star described it like this.

Coupled with the fact that it spread inexplicably and caused people to mutate, the commander-in-chief couldn't help but think this way.

Moreover, now that the other commanders-in-chief had died out, he definitely had to go and take over those troops.

Otherwise, if left like this, letting them fight alone, then it would be too much of a waste.

Finally.

And also the most important point.

The reason for the mutation also needed to be investigated clearly. Otherwise, no matter how they defended against it, they would ultimately only end up being reduced to undead.

Sigh... who told me to love worrying so much. Since it's like this, let me save this race in distress.

Having made up his mind, the commander-in-chief looked at all the brigade commanders inside the tent.

"Now I will issue orders."

"Yes."

Upon hearing that orders were being issued, the brigade commanders, who had originally been somewhat thrown into confusion, finally had a backbone and immediately stood up straight.

Although it was just a tiny movement, it made the commander-in-chief feel a burst of smugness upon seeing it.

Right now, there were only a dozen or so brigade commanders in front of him, but later on, there would definitely be more and more.

Who told him to be the uncrowned king of all the Exorcists right now.

"The entire unit, maintain the current defensive posture and be vigilant against the counterattack of the allied forces of the kings."

The commander-in-chief said so.

If he wanted to do some other things, then the first thing was to stabilize the battlefront on the Double Ring Hills' side.

Only in this way could he extricate himself to go command those troops in other regions.

"Then what about you, Commander-in-chief?"

"I am going to other regions to command, to prevent those undead from charging out of Double Moon Bay."

The commander-in-chief had a serious expression on his face, simply not saying that he was going to take over troops.

"Then Commander-in-chief, what about this brigade of mine?"

Fox, who seemed not to have been assigned a task, asked like this.
