Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1721 Endless Argument
The appearance of the giant serpent caused the garrison's firepower formation to collapse in a short time, and the entire camp was in grave danger under its rampage!
If Shi Lei and his group were here, they would immediately recognize that this was the 'Snake God' mentioned in the previous intelligence.

The terrifying behemoth units displayed almost irrational destructive power at this moment, razing the Smith Kingdom's camp on the mountainside to the ground in no time.

Among the garrison soldiers, some died, some were wounded, and many were swallowed whole by the giant snake.

The appearance of these behemoth units in this wave could no longer be said to have dominated the battle; rather, it directly ended the fight.

How is this played?
Through successful and sustained suppression, the little confidence that the stationed soldiers had just built up was instantly crushed.

But the giant snake showed no sign of restraint and went straight into buffet mode, frantically devouring the fleeing garrison soldiers.

Faced with this situation, the Snake King was completely helpless.

In several operations, he did not summon the giant snake. On the one hand, his snake-people were also keen on hunting, which was one of their few forms of entertainment. The arrival of the giant snake would ruin their fun.

On the other hand, this giant snake is quite greedy; once it enters the area, it's difficult to drive it away.

Before this big guy has eaten his fill, his own words don't carry much weight.

After eating their fill, they simply collapsed onto the mountainside, ready to rest.

This isn't his subordinate, it's his boss!

But it cannot be denied that this behemoth does indeed have the capital to be so arrogant.

The garrison's response tonight did bring a small surprise to the Snake King, but it was still no match for the giant snakes, so he did not intend to change his original plan.

But the problem now is that his uncle is paralyzed on the mountainside and doesn't want to move...

The Snake King wasn't worried at all about what the humans would do to the giant snake; he was worried that the snake would turn around and go back to eating, which would bankrupt his canteen plan.

Having thought of this, the Snake King had no choice but to stay on the mountain for a while longer.

When the news reached the capital, the black nobles were in an uproar.

Little did they know that the snake people, led by the snake king, stayed behind to protect them.

All we know is that their formidable defensive line, which they relied on, was breached by the snake people! And even a gigantic snake of exaggerated size appeared!

This news was enough to keep many Black aristocrats up at night.

"What do we do? What do you suggest we do now?!"

Inside the council chamber, some Black nobles had already begun to fly into a rage of impotence.

"I knew this wouldn't work!"

Figo's loud and boisterous manner was already annoying, but with everyone in such a bad mood, his impotent rage only made him more irritating.

"Shut your stinking mouth, Figo! I've had enough of you!"

With this angry rebuke, the scene in the council chamber briefly spiraled out of control.

This state lasted for nearly thirty minutes until a voice rang out.

"Enough! Shut the hell up, all of you! Do you think arguing like this will get us anywhere? The most important thing right now is to solve the problem!"

An older Black nobleman with a considerable amount of gray hair slammed his fist on the table to stop the farce.

He was the one who proposed ending the infighting and forming a parliamentary system. Among the black nobles, Zam was relatively intelligent.

At this moment, all the black people in the council chambers turned their attention to him.

That look seemed to ask, 'What can you do?'

Faced with this situation, Zham took a deep breath and then offered his idea again. "Perhaps we can try to seek help from the Great Zhou."

The sheer cliff defense line was indeed their last trump card, but it had already been easily breached by the snake people, indicating that the current situation was beyond their ability to handle.

Seeking help from the Great Zhou has become the most feasible option at this stage.

However, upon hearing this, Figo immediately responded...

"Seek help from the Great Zhou? What if the Great Zhou just swallows us up?!"

"What kind of strength does the Great Zhou have? If they wanted to devour it, they would have done so long ago! Besides, what time is it now? Survival is the most important thing!"

"I don't believe they're really that kind!"

In just a few words, the situation once again teetered on the brink of spiraling out of control.

Just then, a black soldier rushed in from outside the council chamber and brought a new message to the group of black nobles: the snake people had retreated!
Upon hearing the news, Figo was initially delighted, but then, as if he had discovered something, he suddenly shouted...

"I understand, I understand! Those snake people have no interest in our land at all. They attacked our camp because they were looking for food!"

"They want food, so why don't we just give them food?"

At this point, Figo stated in a matter-of-fact tone...

"If they don't like to eat ordinary food and prefer to eat people, then why don't we just give them a batch of slaves periodically and let them eat them?!"

The moment those words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene became somewhat awkward.

Clearly, some people were persuaded.

For these Black nobles, providing some food or even a group of slaves was nothing.

Zham, who suggested seeking help from the Great Zhou, was utterly speechless.

"This is not a long-term solution! Instead of using these resources to feed those snake people, I would rather give them all to the Great Zhou and ask the Great Zhou to help us solve this problem permanently!"

"How can you be sure that the Great Zhou will agree? What if they want to swallow us up?"

"How can you be sure the snake-man will agree? What if the snake-man also wants to devour us?"

In response to this question, Figo simply stated...

"Why wouldn't they agree? It's free food; they don't have to do anything to get the food they want. What reason do they have not to agree?"

"..."

This really leaves people speechless.

Just when the two were about to reach a stalemate, the group of guys who had been wavering like fence-sitters unexpectedly came up with a feasible solution.

"Why don't we try both methods? We'll get a result quickly anyway, and there won't be much loss."

Upon hearing this, Zam paused for two seconds before nodding, accepting the suggestion.

"Yes, but before that, we need to determine the resources we can commit to Da Zhou."

Figo, not to be outdone, responded in kind...

"I also need to confirm the food I can promise the snake people!"
