Chapter 33: Target of All
Secondly, the emy wasn\'t overwhelmingly powerful. After all, they could establish Zerg-nests and relocate at any time. Ev if they abandoned some Zerg, they could still rebuild their forces with the Armory and main Zerg.
Lastly, the emy was likely from the Contint of Overlord channel, giv that their master only showed such thusiasm for conquest on the contint, otherwise, he was just a lustful homebody.
In conclusion, their Zerg territory must have provoked widespread anger, or those clueless fools planned to gain something, leading to a collective assault.
However...
Catherine cautiously asked, "Master, are the emies from that channel?"
Charles didn\'t bother to hide anything. He nonchalantly nodded and said, "Yes, it\'s those bastards. About three thousand mid and low second-tier units will clash with our Zerg."
"Perfect timing. We hav\'t flexed our claws in a while, and people seem to have forgott about us. Let\'s use this coalition to cemt our position in the Sere Forest."
At this stage, an army of a three thousand second-tier units could practically sweep the battlefield like an invincible force.
But there was one variable... the existce of Charles, the Zerg Overlord.
With over t thousand Zerg units, ev discounting the non-combat worker worms, there were still thousands of combat units. After a month of developmt, their forces had become quite robust.
Apart from not having aquatic units for now, they ev had biological satellites!
With such power, dealing with those ragtag armies would be effortless...
After giving the orders, Charles waved his hand dismissively. "Alright, you two go make preparations. Catherine, you should also observe how Medusa handles things. Giv your dominion skill and information network, you ought to learn more about commanding units."
However, the two female slaves didn\'t leave this time. Medusa knelt down first, her face full of guilt, and said, "Master, is this calamity upon us because we slaughtered that Goblin Overlord last night?"
This matter itself wasn\'t difficult to guess, Charles was a rather gtle person.
Therefore, the two wom could freely browse the parchmts and understand a bit about the matters within.
However, Charles\'s gtless had its limits—except wh he was issuing orders or during intimate momts... At those times, the master was particularly dominant and assertive.
Of course, they didn\'t dislike it th, in fact, they liked it ev more.
At other times, he was a relatively mild Overlord. So, the only variable was the death of that tainted blood, which had brought about this calamity.
As for the concept of "red names," Medusa, being a native, didn\'t quite understand... After all, she was born in an era wh the Contint of Overlord had already stabilized, with major forces trched in their territories.
Hearing Medusa\'s self-reproachful voice, Charles didn\'t lift her up but instead, with an inexplicable expression, asked, "Medusa, don\'t underestimate your master. Do you think I wouldn\'t know about these things?"
"You\'re overthinking, fearing that your master will abandon you. It\'s merely an ant, ev if it brought a swarm of ants, what differce would it make?"
He had be kind to people before because some individuals were worth such treatmt, driv by interests. Now that he had access to the Global Channel, his transactions in the regional channel had significantly decreased.
The people worth treating well had already be idtified, and they could ev form a group to chat casually.
Thus, he could completely massacre all unfridly Overlords within the Sere Forest!
Medusa was stunned upon hearing this, th gritted her teeth and said, "That tainted blood dared to covet your possessions. Ev if it meant my death, I would still have slaughtered him!"
Catherine nodded fiercely in agreemt.
For the two wom, Charles\'s interests were above all else!
Being his possessions, they wouldn\'t allow themselves to be defiled, let alone be se by others.
Charles nodded in satisfaction at their words.
It\'s just killing someone, just a red name, it\'s not like the sky is falling!
"But master, after all, it was us who killed the man. How about you punish us a few more times?" Catherine blinked her large eyes, her tone full of allure.
Charles siltly rubbed his forehead, looking at the two wom who seemed ready to strip down and head to the training room at any momt. He was both exasperated and amused.
With a speechless smile, he said, "You two look like you\'re expecting another training session... Come on, it\'s wartime. Let\'s be serious, alright?"
"This matter is closed. If you want to be trained, you\'ll have to wait until this situation is resolved. With flies buzzing a, I\'m in no mood for that."
"Besides, I\'ve just thought of an interesting experimt... The more they come, the better!"
Charles was indeed quite capricious.
Ev if today Medusa had killed Megan Takeshi out of mere dislike without any legitimate reason, he wouldn\'t have said much.
Why did he establish the Zerg force if not to become stronger and protect himself?
Ultimately, it was to protect those he loved and who loved him... The lives of others were of no concern to him.
Moreover, this time, it was that shameless individual who had grown tired of living and dared to covet his female slaves. Not snatching that scoundrel\'s soul and lighting a lantern with it was already merciful.
Three thousand second-tier units? Bring it on!
Hearing their master say this, Catherine and Medusa were a bit disappointed that he wouldn\'t punish them, but they wouldn\'t go against his will.
"Yes, master! I\'ll muster the Zerg soldiers and thoroughly eliminate the invading emies!" Medusa\'s eyes were filled with unwavering determination, a reflection of her absolute loyalty and trust in Charles.
"I\'ll get to work too. I need to focus on my research and strive to unlock the secrets of the Blood of the Overlord!" Catherine said with great thusiasm.
Hearing the ergetic voices of his two foolish yet spirited female slaves, Charles nodded with a smile and th granted them additional permissions.
Wartime... Wartime was the perfect opportunity to eliminate those within the Zerg ranks who had no pottial for advancemt through battle.
As the two wom walked away, Charles took out a red box from his system space.
Inside the box was a Bloodthirsty Zerg, peacefully asleep.
This was the fifth Bloodthirsty Zerg that Charles had specifically commissioned Catherine to produce for his research.
...
Sere Forest.
Within the campmt of the Overlord Grand Alliance.
Countless second-tier powerhouses from various races patrolled back and forth, their movemts accompanied by heated debates inside.
"Idiot! Megan Takeshi was a warrior of our nation. Since he is dead, it is only natural that we, the Sakura Nation, lead the charge for revge. The position of alliance chieftain should rightfully belong to us!"
"Oh, give it a rest. What can a tiny country like yours lead? If you\'re really capable, go solo against Number One. If not, leave it to our Lighthouse Nation!"
"I believe our White Elephant nation is the most competitive!"
The argumts continued, with no one willing to relinquish their claim to the alliance chieftain position.
They knew full well that everyone was here with their eyes on the Heart of the Overlord from Number One, making guine cooperation impossible.
What if someone from a particular nation became the leader and th st other countries into the fray first to weak their forces?
Giv the currt scario, they were almost certain of victory!
With over three thousand second-tier combatants, what did it matter if Charles had a few top-tier third-tier experts? Surely, one third-tier powerhouse couldn\'t annihilate three thousand emies, could he?
If the disparity in ranks was that significant, why wasn\'t there a similar gap betwe the first and second tiers?
So, this meeting wasn\'t really about discussing strategies to deal with Overlord Charles (Number One), it was about how to sure they and their countries got the largest share of the spoils.
Number One was a treasure trove that could make someone immsely wealthy overnight!
They were like a band of pirates about to set sail for treasure, vividly describing the outcome of their success.
But... they paid no heed to the fact that there was the Contint of Overlord.
Treasures existed, yes, but whether they could claim them was another matter.
After all, the deep sea held not just treasures but also sea monsters.
If Charles were to be giv a name, he would be the Krak of the sea monster realm.
An undefeatable, god-like sea monster!
And at that very momt, the first vanguard dispatched by the Overlord Alliance was already suffering an unprecedted ambush.
"Aargh! Quickly inform the coalition, there are remnants of Number One\'s Zerg here, all formidable second-tier tities, and there are... three hundred of them!"
The coalition troops wailed as they were slaughtered by the weakest of the combat units, the Zerglings...
