Seer: An Ordinary Little Pirate

Chapter 358 Herka's Past (Part 2)

Ray's spirit remained in the center of the battlefield, witnessing the entire battle.

As expected, Susis commanded the evil spirit army to annihilate the Imperial Guards of the capital, and the mutated zombies also perished under the siege of the evil spirit soldiers.

However, Susis's expression was not good. The Imperial Guards of the capital were not difficult to deal with, but the three thousand zombie puppets had cost her a lot.

Some say that three thousand people are easier to deal with than three thousand pigs because people have brains; if they can't beat someone, they want to run away, and if they can't run away, they want to surrender, while pigs only know how to charge forward recklessly.

The mutated zombies are mindless killing machines. When the Imperial Guards were in a state of panic, they were killing each other mindlessly. When the Imperial Guards were in disarray, they were still killing each other mindlessly. When the Imperial Guards fled or surrendered in groups, they were still killing each other mindlessly.

From the moment they are created, they are given the command to kill. As long as they are alive and can still move, the killing will not stop.

"You wretched ugly monster!"

Susis cursed, flicking the blood off her flying sword, her eyes blazing with fury.

In the Imperial Palace of Herka Star, the Imperial Head of State, having learned of the complete annihilation of his army, was so shocked he nearly fell off his chair.

"How could the Right Army Commander be defeated? He brought a legion of three thousand zombie puppets! Even a pig could easily destroy a planet with three thousand zombie puppets!"

The head of state hysterically cursed in front of his ministers.

"Reporting to the Führer, according to reliable sources, the Right Army Commander was killed single-handedly by the enemy chieftain amidst the enemy's army. So it's all the Right Army Commander's fault for being too arrogant! If he hadn't been so careless, how could the army's morale have been thrown into chaos? He should apologize to the Empire!"

His political enemies immediately stepped forward to attack him.

"He's already dead, how can you atone for your sins? Shut up, everyone. The Right Army Commander did die for his country. Since you think the defeat in the war is entirely his fault for being careless, then you should lead the army into battle."

Upon hearing this, the man panicked. Although he had pinned all the blame on the right army commander, the fact that the right army commander had been beheaded clearly showed that the enemy was not so easy to deal with.

However, feeling the pressure from the head of state, he also wanted to take a gamble, so he solemnly accepted the order.

"Your subordinate will certainly live up to your expectations!"

The head of state beamed with delight, saying, "The safety of the empire depends entirely on the general."

The general had no hope for the Imperial Guards of the capital. Their previous poor performance had already proven their incompetence, and he pinned all his hopes for victory on the zombies.

"Doctor, you need to speed up the production of zombie puppets. Only with a sufficient number of zombie puppets can we achieve victory!"

The general said to an ugly scientist covered in blood.

"General, please rest assured, we are already mass-producing zombie puppets at the fastest speed. With the assembly line technology, we can produce a thousand zombie puppets per month!"

"Not enough, far from enough."

"Then the only option is to expand production, but that requires building new production lines."

"I'll figure this out."

"General, the zombie puppet is merely the most basic product of limb modification. Its potential has not yet been fully explored. Would you like to obtain the current top-tier product—the mutated zombie king!"

"There are even stronger ones?"

The general exclaimed in delight.

"General, rest assured, as long as the funds are in place, I will definitely present it to you. At that time, even that Rakshasa woman will be easily dealt with."

"Excellent! I have been granted a doctorate; I am a gift from heaven!"

Ray crossed his arms and watched the two talk, his face expressionless.

For some reason, his spirit suddenly returned from the battlefield and then followed the general.

But after watching their conversation, Ray had a vague idea that this general had replaced the already "finished" Right Army Commander as the protagonist, and he was beginning to dominate the course of this history.

Unfortunately, this doctor is not Dr. August.

I remember August saying that he came from this era and didn't know where he was now.

As Ray was thinking of August, the scene began to change. When the image fixed on an experimental device, he froze in shock.

That somewhat childish and short figure... is definitely Dr. August in his childhood!

Ray approached young August and looked at his young face, which was filled with ruthlessness and madness.

"No! That's not how it works! Your experiment is wrong. Limb splicing has limitations; it cannot completely eliminate the energy conflicts between different limbs. Rios' antlers cannot be perfectly fused with Axia's legs because ice and fire are in conflict!"

"To piece together the conflicting energy bodies, unless... unless we use genetic technology to fuse them at their source! Yes, genetic technology!"

Young August shouted, attracting the attention of many researchers, but he showed no fear and instead expressed his ideas more aggressively.

"That's a classic case of doing something pointless. Current gene technology is still in its infancy. If you want to achieve your vision, wait another ten thousand years."

One researcher quipped that, of course, the "ten thousand years" figure was just an exaggeration, and that based on the speed of technological development, gene technology might reach a sufficiently advanced level in a few hundred years.

"If gene technology doesn't work, there are other ways."

"Hmph, the kid gets arrogant as soon as he achieves a little success. I heard that the Right Army Commander died because of his arrogance."

Despite being ridiculed by everyone, young August did not back down. He shouted, "Then let's use mechanical technology! Using mechanical connections where necessary is far better than your current terrible ideas!"

"Using mechanical tissue as a buffer can separate conflicting energies, preventing energy clashes in the zombie puppets. It might even create zombie puppets that don't go berserk, instead of a bunch of monsters that only know how to kill!"

"You make it sound so easy. The fusion of machinery and living organisms is not so simple. It's no simpler than genetic technology."

"That's because you guys are too useless!"

"Don't talk to us like that just because your dad's a PhD! Our contributions to the Empire are not something a little brat like you can insult!"

"My dad is a good-for-nothing too."

As Ray left, he couldn't help but laugh. The evil doctor he hated so much in later years had his pants pulled down and his bottom spanked by other technicians when he was a child.

It turns out that August was interested in mechanical technology at such a young age. Thankfully, he didn't develop enough interest in genetic technology, otherwise…

Ray thought of Ilandi and the others, and of the Dark Beast. If August was researching genetic technology, it could cause even greater trouble.

…………

For a long time afterward, the evil spirits and the Herka aliens engaged in a tug-of-war. The evil spirits were stronger, but the zombie puppets created by the Herka aliens seemed endless.

Although the strength of the zombie puppets decreases as time goes on, and many begin to go berserk uncontrollably after being hit hard, the number of zombie puppets deployed is gradually increasing.

"The Herka aliens are a bunch of evil spirits, even more wicked than our evil spirit race. Even for the sake of the Evil Emperor's great cause, I can no longer tolerate them continuing this disgusting research!"

Even the Rakshasa Green Emperor couldn't help but want to uphold justice.

After fighting for so many days, even if she was stupid, she should have gathered some intelligence by now, so she began to target the zombie production line.

The two sides engaged in a guerrilla war of cat and mouse, with Susis eventually gaining the upper hand, but the morale and combat strength of the evil spirit army were also nearly exhausted.

If things continue like this, Herka will still be the ultimate winner.

The capital was filled with singing and dancing; they were about to make history—they had repelled the attack of the evil spirits!

Many people began to celebrate and, amidst laughter and conversation, devised plans for after defeating the evil spirits.

They have enough strength to expand the empire's territory. Perhaps their first target should be the twin stars Alpha and Beta, which contain rich mineral resources and whose native elves are not very strong.

Just as they were living a life of debauchery, a piece of terrible news arrived, shocking the capital.

The Left Army Commander, formerly a general, was beheaded in the military camp.

The person who killed him was a fire-type spirit who called himself the Crimson Flame Emperor.

The crowd was horrified, realizing that the Rakshasa Azure Emperor Susis was not just bluffing. There were probably five emperors below the Evil Emperor, each of whom was no weaker than the Rakshasa Woman!
