Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 11
It didn't take long for Captain Alice Comstock, who had put on a simple long dress, to rush over. Seeing that the guards under him had also come back to life, the captain of the female guards naturally shed tears of excitement.

Then, Lord Eliot Igor once again accepted the collective thanks of the guards.

Captain Alice was even excited, and gave Lord Lord a hot... er, cold kiss.

Only Chief Mage Victor Lowry stared dryly at the scene, his expression stiff.

However, some people will become more tolerant and open-minded when they get older - junior magister Victor Laurie is obviously in this category: the master has made up his mind, and he will no longer investigate what the lord is. The master who cast the resurrection technique believes that spending his brains on such unsolved mysteries will undoubtedly shorten his few remaining lifespans.

Sometimes, people feel that the world is extraordinarily beautiful as long as they don't go to the horns.

The master felt that he had realized it.

However, after the joy of successfully resurrecting several guards faded, several people present began to face the same problem——

"Lord Elliot..." Alice Comstock looked at her lord, her blue eyes finally showing worry, "Our team is... still trapped in the center of the infection zone, right? ?"

Master Laurie glanced meaningfully at Lord Lord, while Xia Houyan nodded with pursed lips.

——After all, I can’t escape this topic...

Alice and the five newly resurrected guards looked at each other, and the expressions of the six warriors were very complicated.

Although resurrected from the dead, the scene of facing zombies before dying is still deeply in the minds of several people: if there is a choice, no one wants to face those terrifying and violent undead creatures again.

But their team was just surrounded by countless zombies in the infection zone.

Xia Houyan was silent for a moment, then said:

"Assuming, just assuming, that I can revive you indefinitely, can you protect everyone from the infection zone?"

When he said these words, Xia Houyan felt a little guilty:
After all, his resurrection technique has only succeeded twice so far, and it is uncertain when it will fail. The so-called "infinite resurrection" is just the most optimistic assumption.

After listening to the Lord's words, the guards' faces turned pale: they understood that the Lord wanted to use the resurrection technique to revive them continuously to create an "undead" guard team, and then escorted the convoy away from the infection. Area;
But the infinite resurrection, doesn't it mean that they have to die in the corpse tide again and again?

The guards are also ordinary people. No one is a warrior who is not afraid of pain or a sage who sacrifices himself for others. Loyalty to the lord does not mean that they are willing to endure the pain of death repeatedly in order to escort a group of other lords!
There was silence in the tent for a while.

Alice Comstock bit her red lips and said softly:

"Lord Elliot, the brothers of the guards have sacrificed enough, please don't let them face the horror of death - if you need, I can fight alone, and I am willing to die for you countless times."

Xia Houyan shook his head: If he just repeated the resurrection of Alice alone, not only would he not be able to bear it, but he would not be able to fully protect the team when he had only a female swordsman as a fighting force.

"I remind everyone to pay attention." Master Laurie, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said coldly, "The six people who were resurrected today, all of you were lucky enough to keep all the corpses in the corpse tide - I think, if you are eaten by zombies If it's broken into pieces, even Elliot-sama's resurrection can't do anything, right?"

Only then did everyone realize a key problem!
The ability to repair limbs that the resurrection technique can provide is limited, which means that only relatively complete corpses can be successfully resurrected!
If there is only one piece of minced meat and one skeleton left, then neither the original resurrection technique nor the Lord Lord's special edition resurrection technique will work!
——Just now, at the suggestion of Master Laurie, Xia Houyan tried to cast the resurrection technique on a half-corpse of a mouse, but unfortunately failed, thus confirming this conclusion; and now, everyone suddenly realized that the master proposed to do this test What do you want.

Master Laurie's meaning is very clear: once someone dies in the corpse tide, and the corpse is excessively damaged, it means that he is truly dead and there is no chance of resurrection.

That is to say, even if the lord can really resurrect the corpse indefinitely, as the battle progresses, there will always be people who will be gnawed into pieces by zombies and cannot be resurrected, resulting in a permanent loss of combat power.

The seven guards who are still alive, plus the five who were resurrected, and the captain of the guards, Alice.

The only thirteen warriors left in the convoy, can they survive until several resurrections and still get away with keeping the whole corpse?

The answer is not optimistic.

Xia Houyan only felt a huge sense of frustration coming towards him.

In order to protect the team of 500 people, he was even willing to break the taboo and use necromancy to resurrect the guards, but after a long circle, the hope of letting everyone escape is still so slim!

"Lord Elliot..." Alice looked at Lord Lord sympathetically and said softly.

"Lord Elliot." Master Laurie said decisively, interrupting Alice's comforting words, "Your efforts have not been in vain. In fact, our situation has greatly improved."

Huge improvement?Xia Houyan looked up at the master in a daze.

"Yes." Master Laurie said firmly, "Originally, we only had seven guards left, but now we have thirteen guards, including the powerful Captain Alice—now, I have enough With confidence, the 13 of them plus myself will definitely be able to safely escort you out of the infected area!"

Xia Houyan felt something stuck in his throat head:
"So, are you still persuading me to escape alone?"

"You're not alone." Master Laurie shook his head. "Among these thirteen guards, there should be a few lucky ones who will eventually be able to accompany you out of the infection zone alive."

"What about yourself?" Xia Houyan asked.

"You have an old life, why bother." Master Laurie laughed.

Xia Houyan felt empty in his chest: Originally, he could only survive alone; now, due to the resurrection technique, he could save a few more lives.

But why is it still so unwilling in my heart...

"Is there really no way to save those subjects?" He looked at Master Laurie for help.

"No way." Master Laurie gave a cruel answer, "It is impossible to escort a team of 500 people with only a dozen guards anyway—Master Elliott, even if you lose the 500 people People, when the new territory allocated by the empire, everything can start again."

Xia Houyan bit his lip, then looked at the guards.

"Master Laurie is right." Alice whispered, and the guards behind her nodded silently.

Xia Houyan stood up in silence and looked out of the tent - the bright moon was hanging high, the stars and rivers were dazzling, yes, after crossing, he only had a glimpse of this beautiful new world.

After leaving the infected area and arriving in his new territory, there will be a better tomorrow waiting for him to experience...

Countless past events on Earth, and various memories of Eliot Igor, flooded into my mind all at once.

After a long time, Xia Houyan turned around and looked at Master Laurie, at Alice, and at the guards.

Everyone is waiting for his final decision.

"My life is not more precious than anyone else's." Xia Houyan closed his eyes for a while, and then announced lightly, "Tomorrow, the guards can set off with Master Laurie - I believe that your thirteen warriors and one A magus who should be able to escape the infection zone safely without distraction to protect me; but I will die with my people."
