When the Saint comes, she does not collect food

Chapter 982: History of Conquest of the Eastern Region of Black Snake Bay (Part )

The leaves of the grass began to shake violently.

The 12-pound iron ball whizzed through the night sky and hit the outer wall of the snakeman camp in front of it like a meteor.

A large hole was instantly pierced through the 80-centimeter-thick adobe and wooden reinforced wall, and behind the wall, broken stones, wood chips and a bloody tail flew into the night sky.

The soil fell down, and under the concentrated bombardment, and to the despair of the snake warriors, a gap collapsed in the wall of the military camp.

Outside the V-shaped gap, the beastman servant soldiers wearing chain mail and carrying iron spears roared and charged towards this side.

Amidst hissing sounds, large numbers of snake people fled madly along the ground.

"Is this the last camp?" Das put down the telescope and asked Tivana beside him.

The beastman female city lord didn't dare to look up at Das: "This is the last one."

Das looked at the camp in flames, his face turning red and black in the firelight: "This lesson should make them see the reality clearly."

Das turned his head and asked Dumpia, "How is it, did the chief bow his head?"

Dombia bowed respectfully and shook his head: "My subordinates told me that it was not the case. They even shot arrows at our envoys and said that it would never be possible to make the noble snake people bow their heads."

This made Das unable to help but be stunned for a moment. Is the mayor of Yurui City so determined?
Setting out from Kabakulubang, with the momentum of previous victories, the Holy Alliance army surrendered as soon as they arrived in Nanbolabang.

From then on, the Holy Alliance army adhered to the mentality of peace being the most valuable, and after the initial demonstration, it would let the personnel of its own city-states negotiate.

This method is much faster than conquering.

As long as they staged a siege and had the surrendering troops display the three-headed statue of the Sphinx, they could quickly win over a city-state.

However, this method sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t work for the snake people, because they don’t seem to believe in the Three-Faced God, so they often fight.

This seemed to have caused misunderstanding among the surrounding beastman city-states.

Some beastman city-states that were not even along the river would come to surrender and pledge allegiance, and even bring their own dry food, spontaneously forming a vassal army of tens of thousands of people.

Das and Mudiay are both confused. What does this have to do with you?

However, as long as they don't eat the supplies from the Holy Alliance, the two of them will let them go.

These vassal troops were even willing to exchange various gems and fruits for salt and ironware from the soldiers.

When coming from the previous city-state, Das heard that there was a relatively large town next to the waterfall, called Yurui City.

He also thought that I have goods and you have raw materials, and we can trade peacefully.

Unexpectedly, this group of snake-men bandits refused to accept the toast and then accepted the punishment, which forced Das to take real action.

Let them know what the black hand is.

In a blink of an eye, within a week, the five camps outside Yurui City were breached.

However, since Yurui City itself has a lake defense, Das did not attack rashly. He still hoped to promote peace through war and that peace is the most important thing.

Therefore, the Holy Alliance continued to surround Yurui City but did not attack it.

Moreover, news came from the rear that several towns that had been surrendered seemed to be unstable and had signs of rebellion.

Their superiors ordered them to suspend the attack and ensure the integrity of the captured areas first.

Only until now during the attack did Das vaguely sense that Yurui City might be a political center of this area.

If we withdraw now and let them gather their forces, the subsequent handling may be more troublesome.

So should we deal with it?

When Das raised this issue at the meeting, the city-state coalition forces were unusually active, among other things.

The chiefs came up one after another and said, as long as you nod, we have nine ways to kill that Lalaka, nine!
Of course, the prerequisite they put forward to Das was - don't let the reinforcements arrive.

Lalaka didn't expect the Holy Alliance army to arrive so quickly and the upstream city-states to be defeated so badly.

Therefore, there are no heavy troops gathered around the capital, and these city-state coalition forces are just trying to take advantage of the situation and invade.

This is not difficult for Das. As long as he sets up cannons and guards the key roads on the basis of the original snakeman camp, it will be difficult for the reinforcements to attack.

Since the city-state coalition forces were so enthusiastic, Das naturally had no objection and let them try.

After the city-state coalition was armed by the Holy League and allowed to participate in the war, the wind direction changed. On December 1453, 12, the city-state coalition first went to several tributaries near the Musk River, destroyed several hidden sluices, and blocked several downstream rivers.

On December 1453, 12, within four days, the water level of Lake Koko rose to the edge of the flood control dike.

1453年12月14日到19日，大量发条炮对着防水堤发动了轰击，并在20日打出了缺口。

The lake water quickly submerged Yurui City on the island in the middle of the lake, and only the temple area on the central highlands survived.

The city-state coalition forces, wearing chain mail and carrying spears, took the lead and launched a landing battle in canoes under the cover of the Holy Alliance's large ships.

In the three days from the 20th to the 23rd, the outer towns were quickly lost, leaving only the pyramid temple still resisting.

Lalaka stood on the wall, looking at the city-state coalition forces retreating like the tide, but the bitterness was even greater than raw cocoa.

The former snakeman hero now looked extremely haggard, and even his once scarlet tongue had turned dark red.

Not to mention the dirty snake skin fragments that have not been cleaned off the snake scales.

As for the snake-men warriors around them, they were in even worse condition, with blood flowing from their snake scales.

They don't understand, what on earth is going on?
Why was the body that the obsidian spear could once pierce blocked by the silver armor now?

Why could the once sturdy rattan armor be pierced by short and thick arrows?

Lalaka was extremely confused at this moment.

He ascended the throne at the age of thirteen. During the five years he fought against his uncle, his mother, and powerful ministers. At the age of eighteen, he held sole power.

In the following twenty years, he first built docks and post stations to connect with the various princes and unified the snake city-states of the Musk River.

He then launched a war of revenge, not only killing the old emperor of the Beastman Empire in one fell swoop, but also taking back the snake-man land that fell into the hands of the Beastmen.

He is now forty years old, at the prime of his life.

The beastman empire was clearly in internal strife, and even their empress was sidelined due to her young age. It seemed that he could unify the snakemen and beastmen...

As a result, a third green-skinned, fanged god descended from the sky and defeated the snake people's kingdom with meteors and black fog.

Could it be that the God of Feathered Serpents will really be suppressed by the God of Green Skin and will never be reborn?
"Your Highness, look over there..." Wu Ergong, who had a broken hand, suddenly pointed at the sunset in the distance and shouted.

On the lake, a boat flying the Holy Alliance flag slowly approached, and the beastman warriors paddling canoes cheered.

During these ten days, in addition to attacking the city, the city-state coalition forces also used rollers to lift the Holy Alliance ships and transported them through the sand into Koko Lake.

Lalaka looked at the slowly approaching ship.

What kind of huge trees would be needed for such a terrifying and huge ship?
In his dazed imagination, the shrieking sound in the palace a few days ago rang in his ears.

The huge iron ball smashed into the water, creating a column of water several meters high. It rolled among the snake warriors and knocked away the warriors wrapped in leopard prints and linen.

"It's time." Looking at the Holy League soldiers in black clothes appearing in the canoe, Lalaka took a deep breath.

He turned his head, looked at his six children, and jumped off the wall with only one word: "Revenge!"

Standing in the ankle-deep lake water, Lalaka knew that the high priests and lords would send their children away.

It doesn’t matter where they are sent, as long as the bloodline can continue, the dynasty will rise again sooner or later!
With the sound of clanging, the obsidian arrows and bone arrows bounced off the bodies of the black-clad and silver-armored soldiers.

These soldiers of the Eighth Legion of God's Punishment Army, wearing mithril steel armor, are the bravest soldiers in the entire legion.

In front of them, standing in the water that was hard to tell whether it was blood red or sunset red, were the last imperial guards of the Snake Dynasty.

"Just surrender." The corps commander looked at the group of warriors in front of him with sympathy.

No one answered the commander's words. Led by Lalaka, they raised their obsidian serrated swords as tall as a person.

"Hiss-"

Lalaka rushed out first.

"Hiss-"

"Praise the Holy Wind!"
