The rumbling sound of artillery fire woke Chen Mo up. He came to the window and noticed Ada Wang looking outside through the window.
"What happened? Have they started attacking?" Chen Mo asked Ada Wang, but his eyes were looking through the window at the museum not far away.
The curator originally chose this place as his home and the base of the Pharaoh Guards in Cairo. In addition to fancying that the house was strong and sturdy, and that the interior space was large enough to accommodate a small army of at least fifty people when necessary, it also
A very important point is that through the windows on the third floor, you can directly overlook the museum in the distance and most of the streets of Cairo.
When necessary, you only need to place a few lookouts and a few soldiers with good marksmanship on the roof, and you can control the surrounding streets very well. It is a very good stronghold.
And now, through the window, Chen Mo could clearly see that in the square in front of the museum, part of the crowd that had originally gathered here was moving in the direction of the rumbling artillery fire outside the city.
Obviously, the British outside the city launched an attack and began to stretch the defense forces inside the city.
"The sound of artillery is very fierce. It seems that the British are serious this time. It seems that they are not just trash." Ada Wang shrugged, answering Chen Mo's question, and also made a gesture to the British.
A slightly more positive review.
Originally, in Ada Wang's view, the British would actually be defeated by half of their infantry regiment in a night attack, and their strength was only that much.
Coupled with the tendency of the British to use the Pharaoh Guards as cannon fodder, Ada Wang's impression of them was not very good.
However, now the gunfire was very dense and violent. Although the gunshots could not be heard due to the distance, Ada Wang could confirm that the British had indeed launched a fierce attack, which made her slightly change her view of these British.
However, this did not have much impact on the actions of Ada Wang and Chen Mo. It was just that the British attack was more fierce, which could attract more enemy attention and facilitate their actions.
"Now that the British have launched an attack, it's time for us to take action." Chen Mo watched with satisfaction as the crowd originally gathered in the square began to move toward the outside of the city, and was ready to start their action.
Raising his hand to apply undead mind to himself again, Chen Mo already liked thinking and acting in this absolutely rational way.
Although this makes him seem less "human", it is a good thing for a mage, especially a necromancer, to think rationally rather than act emotionally.
Especially for Chen Mo now, he really needs to use his own interests and rationality as the prerequisite for action, rather than relying on his own emotions and perceptual impulses to do things.
Although emotional thinking can sometimes create miracles, most of the time it can only be called emotional thinking, and only rational analysis can make the most suitable choice.
After entering the undead state of mind, Chen Mo looked at the square in front of the museum and there were still a large number of people. He quickly made some trade-offs in his mind, and then took out a soldier card and a pious card.
The Believer's Head.
Seeing these two things, Ada Wang's eyes couldn't help but jump, and asked Chen Mo: "Boss, is it necessary to use the plague zombies? What if the T-virus spreads in the world?"
"I have prepared the plague zombies. The virus on them is not airborne before it is catalyzed by magic. The spread of the virus is more conducive to us gaining people's hearts and controlling this country." Chen Mo looked at Ai expressionlessly.
Da Wang, answered her question.
At this time, Chen Mo's behavior was very different from his normal state. If he were in non-undead mental mode, Chen Mo would not use the plague zombies because he was worried about the subsequent impact.
Even though the Plague Walking Corps is the only force in Chen Mo's hands that can be called an army, considering the style of the Plague Walking Corps and the ability of this unit to spread viruses, it will undoubtedly have a serious negative impact.
But under the influence of the undead mind, Chen Mo at this time was more inclined to maximize interests and the so-called optimal solution.
At this time, he believed that there were still a large number of enemies gathered in the square. Waiting for the army outside the city to attack could certainly mobilize these enemies more effectively and gain a "better" opportunity for him to invade the museum.
But similarly, if you keep waiting, those who died in the war will also have Sekhmet come faster because of the blood left by the war.
Under such circumstances, delaying time will certainly be beneficial to oneself, but it will also be beneficial to the enemy, or even more beneficial.
So at this time, instead of waiting any longer, you should use the power at your disposal to win for yourself.
Releasing the zombies of the plague, launching attacks from around the square, drawing the enemies away from the square, and then leading people into the museum to prevent Immorton's ritual of summoning Sekhmet to come, is undoubtedly a more appropriate approach at the moment.
As for the subsequent negative impact, it will certainly have an adverse impact on Chen Mo's original plan, but it is not irreversible.
Chen Mo's fundamental purpose is to rule the country, and rulers have various means of rule. They can rule with benevolence and improve the quality of people's lives to win the hearts of the people. This was what Chen Mo originally planned.
An armed force was established through the Pharaoh Guards, and the great cause of reviving ancient Egypt was to expel the British and the current Egyptian royal family, thereby establishing a country under its own control.
But in addition to benevolent and gentle means, a country can also be ruled with an iron fist and terror.
The spread of the virus caused by the zombies of the plague can sow fear, and you only need to announce the means to cure the plague, and you can also gain a lot of public support.
Moreover, human beings are born with forgetfulness and evil nature. To paraphrase Emperor Taizong's famous saying, "Yidi are animals, fearing power but not having any morality." The fear brought by fear and power is far better than the obedience caused by receiving benefits.
lasting.
Under the influence of the mind of the undead, Chen Mo can clearly realize that he is not a wise ruler or politician. He cannot balance all parties, nor can he significantly change people's lives and make them respect him extremely.
.
Therefore, using his identity as a necromancer to make the people fear power rather than virtue is the best way for him to consolidate his rule over Egypt.
As for the negative impact brought by the identity of the Necromancer, as long as Chen Mo can always ensure that he is strong and the fear that deeply penetrates people's hearts always remains a deterrent, then there is nothing to worry about.
The only thing that needs to be considered is how to allow the country under his rule to develop normally, so that his identity as a necromancer will not turn into a situation where the Second World War is about countries fighting against him for justice.
