Chapter 378 - 237: The 5th Generation of Augustus
"If this kid continues to advance, he might truly become the Second Immortal King."
Previously, Noah had regarded Wayne’s potential to become the Immortal King more as a jest, not expecting him to truly achieve anything significant. After all, within the Great Graveyard, even conservative estimates suggest that the number of Legendary Undead exceeds two digits—truly a Kingdom-level force.
This is precisely why, before the Undead disaster erupted, forces across Central Earth were preparing for war at all costs, because the Immortal King of the Great Graveyard was severely wounded and asleep, while its remaining forces were still formidable.
Although there were issues such as chaotic command, multiple sources of orders, and severe factional conflicts, these problems were not exclusive to the Undead forces.
Any large-scale power is bound to have similar problems, isn’t it?
Take the Elf Court, the first to be hit by the Undead disaster, for instance. Despite appearing to have a monarchic system with a Queen respected by many Elf Clans, in reality, the temple priest, clan elders, Royal Family Council, and the military all enjoy substantial rights.
The Elf Queen is merely positioned above the leaders of these internal forces. In practice, to get anything done, consensus is required, and such coordination leads to outrageous internal consumption.
In contrast, even without the Immortal King, the Undead’s organizational coordination and unity surpass the Elves. At least when any Legendary Undead’s orders reach the mid-level, they can be quickly executed, and from the mid-level to the lower level, commands are followed without any discount because the lower-level Undead lack intelligence.
