"I must say, that skeleton does look quite like one."
"It's looking this way! Wait, it's pouncing! Aa ...
Screams soon echoed throughout the entire holy city. Death, death, more death. The skeletons and zombies summoned by the Legion of Death indiscriminately pounced on all living things, ending their lives with their weapons, teeth, and claws. In the process, they would begin to evolve.
"Help me!!!"
"Monster! Monster!"
"I must be dreaming, I must be dreaming!"
"Where is the army? Where is our army?"
At the same time, the mysterious live stream started broadcasting again. This time, the live stream showed the tragedy unfolding in the Holy City, with blood everywhere and water everywhere. It was an unedited, infantry-only live stream version.
"Oh my God, is this okay to broadcast?"
"The person behind this live stream must be the Jade Emperor from Heaven."
"That was intestines, wasn't it? It must have been intestines! Intestines flew out!"
"My God, how is this a live stream? How did they do it?"
"Can anyone tell me if this is special effects or real?"
"The news is on other websites, and it's being broadcast live on other TV stations. Oh my god, it's true."
People all over the world were stunned and began to watch the live stream with a sense of nausea. Although there had been a dragon battle before, it was a once-in-a-lifetime event. With the government of various countries suppressing the hype and the live stream remaining silent for a week afterward, everyone returned to their normal lives, only occasionally bringing up the incident for discussion.
In any case, most people have already accepted that it's a blockbuster special effect. Hollywood in the United States and Bollywood in India have even taken the initiative to say that they will make blockbusters. It's just a promotional trailer. After all, it's too counterintuitive. Even if other content creators debunk the rumors, ordinary people will be curious at most until it actually happens to them, but they won't investigate it in depth.
But if it happens again and again, then it's not just a simple matter of truth or falsehood; it means that the normal world as we all know it is collapsing little by little.
"My God, what is this?"
Ye Hu was equally shocked. He had just taken a nap, and before he could even sit down properly, his secretary rushed in to deliver this incredibly fantastical news.
At first, Ye Hu didn't believe it. "You can't just make me believe it; I have to try it," he said. Then, with a "Duang," it... well, it's all true! So, it's even more hilarious!!!
"Then we'll send our troops there, send all the nearest troops we have!"
“Mr. Prime Minister, our main forces are all in the Gaza area, and there are only some second-line troops and militia in the holy city.”
"Then mobilize them! As long as they launch an attack, everything will be fine!"
"But they have no ammunition."
Well, the Israeli army, which only discovered its insufficient stockpile when it went to war with Hamas, can only be considered to have solved the ammunition supply problem on the Gaza front with the help of external forces. However, the second-line troops in the rear are almost like puppet troops. Besides, with only two hundred bottles of Coke a month, why risk their lives?
"This is something the local officers need to consider. Now I'm ordering them to take immediate action and not let the situation escalate! Do you understand?" Ye Hu roared, sounding like a mustachioed man from a movie.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Prime Minister!"
Section 11: Taking the Blame, Keep It to Yourself
(Update: Today is a holiday, but because it's Qingming Festival, I can't wish everyone a happy holiday. So I wish you all a good holiday, a good rest, good health, and all the best (^V^*))
History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme, just like Israel today and Japan in the past. The difference is that Israel is a weak imperialist country, while Japan is a poor imperialist country.
However, if present-day Israel were to fight World War II Japan, with both sides having similar weapon configurations, it would be utterly crushed. Any one of the monsters from the East Asian sphere could easily dominate the Holy Roman Empire in Europe. Even the Green Ivy would tremble in fear. This is the true value of the Chinese civilization.
When the mobilization order was issued, the Israeli soldiers in the Holy City reacted, if not as fast as a rabbit, at least as slowly as a tortoise.
The reason for this situation is very simple: the front-line troops are practically offline on weekdays, and the second-line troops, or even the cannon fodder at the bottom level, are not even as good as the cola soldiers. They are similar to the puppet army. They can bully the people on weekdays by relying on the Huang Army, but if they are replaced by something that can resist, even a pack of dogs, they are the kind of creatures that will be chased away. It is hard to imagine that this country once made the Middle Eastern countries tremble.
It's not surprising, given that there were quite a few leftists in the Israeli government back then. Ironically, many of these people came from the Soviet Union, which supported Israel in establishing a state in Palestine. The most capable people in Israel at that time came from the Soviet Union and established a whole system of planned economy.
For example, those settlements in Israel, which are described as communities, are actually communal organizational forms.
But today, Israel has completely lost many things. Its long-term tyranny and the false confidence built through propaganda of hegemony have made them seriously complacent. As the saying goes, "War is a matter of vital importance to the state; a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected." No country can use force with impunity, and no country can absolutely overwhelm the world with force. When you think that might makes right, you have already fallen into a lower class.
After all, a skilled warrior does not achieve great feats.
The best strategy is to attack the enemy's plans; the next best is to disrupt their alliances; the next worst is to send troops; and the worst is to attack their cities.
Israel previously used the fighting strength of its elite soldiers to carry out the most inferior schemes, and became increasingly unscrupulous, starting to emulate its spiritual idol, Mustache. It's clear that even squid has to fight for its cause, so it's only natural that it's now facing retribution.
Every villain thinks they are invincible, and they only start thinking that way when their opponents turn the tables on them, just like now.
If the Israeli army in the Holy City can quickly assemble its forces and use modern firepower to clear out the undead, then they can still overpower them in the short term. After all, the difference between modern firepower and cold weapons is obvious. Qin Shan did not arrange so many skeleton mages to serve as relay nodes, but if the first wave is not held, then the next wave will be like a dam bursting and flowing out in a torrent.
After all, once people start dying, the number of undead will increase, even double. It sounds very mystical, since the idea of two or three skeletons emerging from a corpse is absurd no matter how you look at it.
But in reality, the necromancer's blade is real, and when it comes to weapon criticism, it doesn't matter whether you accept reality or not.
"Very good, excellent. Now for the main course: raise the flag and give the world a squid shock."
At Qin Shan's signal, a new batch of skeletons soon appeared, bearing religious symbols unique to squid, while Hebrew chants began to echo in the air, sounding ethereal and sacred.
This is actually a kind of mental manipulation, although it's only the most basic kind, but it's really effective. Before humans truly master supernatural powers, this kind of mental manipulation can easily create panic and chaos over a considerable area. After all, the weapons that humans currently manufacture don't have the attribute of magic resistance (~―▽―)~.
Qin Shan's move was very clear: he was to equate Israel with evil words like squid, demons, necromancers, and darkness, and then present a righteous and heroic image of eliminating the undead, questioning in front of the world why there was so much sorrow and death on this land. Coupled with the deterrent power of superhuman strength, he was sure that other countries would not believe him.
Then, by creating even bigger disturbances and making it clear that the Celestial Dragons among the squid are the root of the problem, and that human civilization will never have peace unless they are completely eliminated, the capitalist squid cancer can be completely eradicated.
However, this is only part of the Qinshan plan. It is normal to expand the scope of the attack appropriately in this process. Who told you capitalists to be of one mind and declare that you have squid blood? This implicit contract that belongs exclusively to the squid Celestial Dragons will mark you with the mark of the devil as long as you acknowledge it, and you will fall into depravity.
This is obviously nonsense, but that doesn't stop Qin Shan from secretly granting these people demonic powers and causing them to fall into depravity in public.
For example, one could disguise oneself as a demon to visit a certain Celestial Dragon, offering him the temptation of immortality and power. Once the other party takes the bait, one could suddenly corrupt him and turn him into a terrifying demon. At that point, the other party wouldn't need to do anything; everyone else would fill in the blanks and frantically investigate the relationships between the upper and middle classes of their own country.
No narrative can compare to the narrative of class conflict. If those selfish and self-serving guys don't die, the tragedy of the Shanghai defense battle in the previous life will definitely happen again. Qin Shan doesn't want to feel that sense of powerlessness again.
Human brains are not like leeks, but some people's brains can hinder the normal functioning of other people's brains.
As the religious symbol of Judah was raised by the dead, and Hebrew songs filled the air, the whole world was shocked, and the comments in the live stream exploded.
"Holy crap! Holy crap! What happened?"
"That seems to be a symbol of Judaism."
"Just remove the 'seems like' part, that's it!"
"Why can I still hear singing? And the singing is so strange. I can't understand it, but it sounds so right."
"It's a song praising the Holy Lord. The gist of it is that this is the land of squid, and everything squid does here is right. There is only blood and death for the enemy, and every slaughter is praise. What the hell is this song?"
"There's even something called spiritual pollution? Does Israel really summon demons?"
"It's not impossible. The Nazis were fond of astrology back then. They took the squid from 'Our Party's Struggle'. Maybe they really did discover something from the mustache's research."
"Could it be that the dragons fighting before was real? Oh my god! The world is going to be destroyed!"
The above is considered a relatively normal comment. Some eccentric extremists, Aha! believers, and pure internet trolls don't care about the truth; they just want to see the world burn.
"Excellent! Judgment Day! This is Judgment Day!"
"Season 3 has started, I want to see rivers of blood!"
"The world is so boring now, let it be destroyed, the new world is calling us!"
In short, the internet bears witness to the diversity of the human species.
For ordinary people, their rants and madness cannot cause any direct damage through the barrage of comments, but for the leaders of major countries behind the screen, things have become so troublesome that they are terrified.
At the White House, Biden, unusually sober, let out a roar.
"Get me a chamber pot, right now!"
Section 12: Invite the Chamber Pot to the Stage
(Second update is here! (~―▽―)~)
Of course, Ye Hu knew what was happening in the Holy City, but he was actually completely confused and overwhelmed.
What do the symbols of Judah, the religious flags of Judaism, and other miscellaneous things pointing to squid have to do with us, Israel? We don't have necromancers. If you want to raise the dead, go look at the war reports from the Russia-Ukraine battlefield. Why are you making things difficult for an old man like me here?
That's certainly the logic, but the problem is, after witnessing the tragedy in Gaza, how many countries in the world still think Israel is right, just like no country would believe the United States is willing to do good deeds these days (Black Hawk Down).
"This is a very serious political incident. Tell me, what are you doing now?"
"We did nothing wrong, and I'm completely baffled. I don't know anything!"
Faced with Old Man Deng's questioning, Ye Hu almost cursed. "As Israel's good son, shouldn't you Americans be rushing to offer condolences, make positive statements, and provide full assistance? How dare you question me? How dare you question your old father? You unfilial son!"
Ye Hu kept the above to himself, and his tone was relatively tactful. However, considering that Deng Xiaoping's term would most likely end here after this term, Ye Hu's tone was quite like Li Hongzhang's—the paperhanger.
"What is happening in Israel right now is very disappointing to the Western world's allies."
"In short, that's how things are, that's the situation, but what exactly the situation is depends on the circumstances."
Anyway, Ye Hu is indifferent right now. In any case, the United States will eventually be unable to ignore Israel.
So what am I afraid of? At worst, I'll just lie down on the ground and die right there in front of you. Would you still dare to disown your father then?
At this time, Biden was also under great pressure. After all, the Israeli lobbying group and the political power and influence of Jews in the United States are quite considerable. In particular, the peculiar Jewish certification system allows most Jews to become Jews by finding any reason and relying on sufficient funds and power. Rather than saying that they joined the Jewish community, it is more accurate to say that they formed a larger power group, namely a financial conglomerate.
This is the true nature of Judaism, its fundamental character. In the new century, the former opportunists have finally found the most suitable version of their tactics. Relying on the blood of the lower-class Jews, the upper-class Jewish devils have enjoyed the benefits brought by capital and political asylum, turning all of Hitler's actions into political errors, while supporting Jews is politically correct.
But this compassion has its limits and is very easy to squander.
When Israel begins to imitate the behavior of the Third Reich, their aura will be consumed ten or a hundred times faster than before, and with their efforts, Seele will be almost in heaven.
This is just a joke. The Nazis were a cesspool too, the only difference being which one was a bit more of a cesspool.
For Ye Hu, the current problem is still not too big. After all, Tel Aviv is 72 kilometers away from the holy city. Although it is shorter than our distance, it is still possible to deploy several defensive lines. The capital's defenses are definitely much stronger than those of other places. Facing a group of enemies with only cold weapons, they cannot be crushed by the prepared defensive lines.
That's how it usually is, but what if it's an abnormal situation?
The undead legion's spells can be cast in the Holy City, so naturally they can also be cast in Tel Aviv; this is part of the script.
While the world's attention was drawn to the holy city, Qin Shan and his group arrived in Tel Aviv.
Immediately afterwards, another screen appeared on the live stream, drawing the attention of the chat room's comments.
"Why is there an extra screen?"
"It seems to be Tel Aviv."
"Could it be that something happened in Tel Aviv too?"
"Look, it's a skeleton soldier!"
"My God, Tel Aviv has fallen!"
Large numbers of undead emerged from the ground, the same scene, the same story, even the same unit types, except this time on a different map, and in greater numbers, because there are cemeteries in Tel Aviv, and cremation is strictly prohibited in Israel.
This is closely related to their religion, so now these raw materials are all going to the undead legion for a bargain.
After a person dies, a portion of their soul power remains in their body. However, cremation causes this portion of soul energy to lose its anchor and dissipate completely. But if you are buried in the ground, maintaining relatively intact remains, that is the necromancer's favorite.
In the world where necromancy was invented, the locals always cremated bodies to prevent the undead from taking advantage of the chaos. They had a long history of elaborate and experienced ways of dying.
But Israel has clearly never experienced such a brutal attack, nor has any of humanity (Black Death: Really?), so for modern people, burial or cremation is more of a matter of choice. However, things may not be so simple after today.
Tel Aviv quickly descended into chaos, resembling the situation in northwestern Shanxi, filled with gunfire and cries of agony. To make matters worse, Tel Aviv was home to a large group of Haredi Jews, a group of Jews who were entirely modern and classically religious, lacking any fighting ability and numerous in number. Moreover, upon seeing the approaching undead, their first reaction was to kneel on the ground and beg for God's forgiveness.
What a touching act! Send you to meet God and ask him what he thinks.
As a result, the Haredi Jewish community quickly became a necromancer stronghold, with double-digit numbers of skeleton mages appearing every minute. Qin Shan, watching from the shadows, was stunned. To whom did this piety belong?
But whatever, the plan can now move into the third phase.
The ethereal songs rang out again, like whispers from the subspace, eroding the local resistance, opening up more battlefields, and creating greater chaos. When the undead and the people were completely mixed together, even the Israeli soldiers with Nazi hearts couldn't fire when they saw their own people in their capital city and those undead.
After all, back in Gaza, they were just someone else's relatives, but now they are truly his own.
Even animals have feelings.
However, this gives the undead army an opportunity. Guns and ammunition alone cannot eliminate these skeletons. After all, the weakness of undead units is soul crystals, which are randomly generated within the undead's body. They may be hidden in the head and chest, but they may also be in the limbs. This randomly generated configuration is the work of a certain necromancer. The effect is very simple: to prevent the enemy from specifically targeting the undead's weaknesses. Now my weaknesses are randomly distributed. Let's guess what they are.
It's a disgusting tactic, but it's really effective. Unless you use heavy artillery to clear the area, even if every bullet is a headshot, those undead units are still combat-ready. In other words, enemies crawling towards you on the ground are even more dangerous; you can easily be pulled down if you're not careful.
"Where are our planes? Where are our artillery? Where are our tanks? Tell them to launch an attack immediately!"
The chamber pot was furious. For him, no matter how things developed, his political career could end on the spot. So he was going to go completely mad, drag the whole of Israel into an even deeper abyss, use war to prolong his political life, and drag the United States into the mess.
He wouldn't care what damage using heavy weapons would cause to the capital.
You will only lose your lives and property, but I will lose all power!
Just then, the chilling sound of ancient Hebrew suddenly echoed throughout Tel Aviv.
"Hehehe, found it! The bloodline of the contractor from 2000 years ago! Let us continue this 2000-year-old contract!"
