Chapter 596: Chapter 463 Randomly Eliminate a Country as a CG

In just one year, Lord Lind had collected more than enough materials, whether from scavenging rarely visited ruins or directly buying them with cash. He never cared about his finances, which made the "Black Knight" a notoriously easy mark for miles around.

Some had even been tempted to treat the Black Knight as an ATM, but ended up having their own wealth drained instead. After that, they became much humbler.

Collaborating with the financially unrestrained Black Knight was profitable, since he never haggled.

Yet, these people didn’t know that they had been noted in Lind’s little black book. The day the Undead logged on, these people would immediately become targets of hostility. Whatever they had taken today, they would have to spit it out tomorrow, with interest.

Lind simply looked at the man beside him.

"I have returned this time to start a war."

He had always been a pacifist and had even considered, if possible, to return to the time before the collapse of the Ring of Magic, to settle down and get married in the Royal City and live out his days as a contented nobleman.

But now he had no choice but to take the offensive.

Lind’s gaze turned to William: "We represent the Abyss."

Nur and Ska had expressionless faces.

In Magic Land, whether it was the power of the Beastmaster, the Abyss, or even the Three Gods, different deities simply represented different factions. It wasn’t strange to find a city with a dozen different religious beliefs. For example, every Beast King was a dual-believer without pure faith, yet they still lived well.

In the Newbie Village Continent, the Abyss was feared, but in Magic Land, it was just one of many evil and powerful forces. Such forces were always more, never less, and only humans led by Magdalena regarded them as fearsome tigers.

So, it didn’t matter if Lind claimed he was representing the Abyss or even if he became the Abyss itself. Neither Nur nor Ska would be scared; on the contrary, they would be thrilled—their trump card had become even stronger!

However, Lind knew William’s thoughts were different. He had lived through the war of the Abyssal Great Rift. That war, in the context of their nearly yearlong experiences, might seem naïve and weak, but at the time, it was a terrifying enemy that couldn’t be dealt with even by mobilizing the entire Kingdom.

Only those who had been through that knew how abhorred the Abyss was.

William asked, "Lord, what do you need me to do?"

He knew that Lind looked at him for a reason.

Although not the sharpest, and preferring to fight against the strong, it didn’t mean William understood nothing. His broadened horizons allowed for expanded thoughts beyond limitations.

That was called, having one’s mind opened.

"You can choose to follow me back to the Xilu Continent, stay on the Xilu Continent, and be my enemy."

Be Lind’s enemy?

Hearing this, William was startled, but it only came off as a somewhat amusing expression on his simple face.

Having forcibly initiated his own "2.0 version", the Rand Kingdom’s advantages had to be maximized with "hidden storylines" and "hidden rewards" to attract all the Undead.

That’s right, as the 2.0 BOSS appointed by the Abyss, he should dictate where the main storyline would take place, who it would clash with, and how.

"You could also choose to return to the Land of Beasts and lead them when the time comes for the Undead to appear."

Lind’s plan was to take this opportunity to extend his influence and proceed with transplanting, which meant shifting the Undead from being "able to join anyone" to becoming exclusive leeks for Lord Lind. So, the battleground had to be controlled within the three continents... while he still could maintain control. Once he lost control, he would send the Undead to the Magic Land’s Newbie Village in batches.

His goal was to handle them in batches, consume all of them, and not to waste a single one.

But the 3000 Undead in Magic Land couldn’t be wasted either, nor could he sit idly by and let this elite group fall into Magdalena’s hands. With William’s current ability, simply guiding the Undead’s actions was no issue.

Moreover, once Lind and William disappeared, the Undead of Magic Land might cause some trouble. Tione alone might not be able to control them.

He didn’t plan to take Tione back with him; he needed to leave a popular character behind.

"Lord, what if I stay by your side?" William made a choice that wasn’t on the table.

Taking an NPC who was one of the main characters of the 1.0 version and joining him with the Abyss—Lind wondered how the officials would react upon hearing this news.

Lind said, "Tao Lexi would definitely hate me to death, hahaha! But just thinking about her grinding her teeth in anger is too amusing."

William followed with a goofy laugh. He was familiar with the temperament of his kin and didn’t mind the playful banter between Lind and Tao Lexi. Having interacted with him over time, William realized that Lind’s true nature shone through when he wasn’t putting on airs.

"Then you all return to the Undead-led Newbie Village." Lind looked at Tione, then pulled out the Beastmaster from his embrace, "Do you still remember the former cats of the Undead?"

The Beastmaster struggled being grabbed by the nape of the neck: "You think I’ll give back power? Wishful thinking! You you you you have not given me a single Echo as promised!"

"What use would it be to you even if I gave you all of them? At best, you’ll recover to the Beast King level, but who could you beat?" Lind shook the Beastmaster, "You can freely order the Undead to find Echos for you and let them make sacrifices to you through Soralis."

"Are you serious?" the Beastmaster couldn’t believe Lind would be so generous.

"Do I have to teach you everything? Introduce some new functionalities to those cats of yours, which can only be unlocked by donating Echoes. They’ll surely be rushing to do so."
