Chapter 81: Subjugation (3)
[Physis' POV]
Once the direction was determined, things progressed rapidly. A swift and efficient assassination team was formed, consisting of ten members, including myself, Adilun, and Lucas. This team was meant to penetrate among the monsters and intercept the monsters of higher rank or higher.
The execution was scheduled for tomorrow. Although it seemed nearly impossible to sneak among countless monsters and cut the head of a higher-level monster, we had a powerful magician who could turn unreal into reality.
Thus, we were confident that we could handle the threatening monsters successfully.
If monsters suddenly died in a place where there were no enemies, it was obvious that chaos would arise. Confused, the monsters would retaliate against the ones attacking them.
Although the monsters were not highly intelligent, they possessed an innate characteristic of absolute obedience to their leader who leads them.
The Demon King must have realized this and established a command structure for the monsters. Only those who followed him would be spared, and he would consolidate the monster's forces.
Therefore, if the King's designated command system were to falter... the monsters would likely fall into disarray.
Since their leader had been killed, their aggression might turn towards the surrounding monsters.
As monsters inherently lacked a sense of collective consciousness...
The Demon King would probably need to reassert his dominance or issue new orders to regain control over them.
Though it might be considered an inefficient army, except for the King, most monsters had considerably lower intelligence. It was only natural for them.
