When the Saint comes, she does not collect food

Chapter 983 The Supreme Emperor

The next morning, Das landed on the island in the middle of the lake for the first time.

Half of the old Yurui City was submerged in water. The corners of the houses made of wood and rammed earth were damaged by the lake water and they were on the verge of collapse.

The dragon blood peppers hanging from the eaves were exceptionally bright red at this moment, and slimes appeared out of nowhere like mushrooms, taking advantage of the situation and devouring the mealworms raised by the snake people.

The traces of looting by the city-state coalition forces last night were left in the knife marks on the house.

Outside the houses on both sides, groups of terrified snake people rested their foreheads in the ankle-deep lake water and saluted the black-clad, silver-armored soldiers from the bottom of their hearts.

If they hadn't maintained order in time last night, I'm afraid all the snake people in Yurui City would have been killed by them.

In fact, more than 90% of the snake nobles and priests living in the temple were killed.

All that was left of Das were a few temple priests and their cowering servants.

As he stepped into the water, Das complained in his heart that his athlete's foot was about to break out, but his expression remained unchanged.

Walk through the crowd crawling on the ground, climb up the steps with intricate carvings, and the huge pyramid appears before your eyes.

In front of the large square built of white stone, four snake-men high priests prostrated themselves respectfully before Das.

Standing in front of them were three snake-man boys, spitting out their tongues in fear and anger.

"Who are these three?"

"They are the descendants of Mad Emperor Lalaka." The oldest high priest spoke respectfully and flatteringly in unskilled Orc language.

They had already inquired with the city-state coalition and found out that the Holy Alliance had actually been planning to do business with them from the beginning.

It was this militarist-minded Lalaka who had a very high opinion of himself and thought that the Holy League was humiliating him, so he ended up humiliating the Holy League in return.

This led to a series of disasters.

You know, this battle killed and destroyed not only the Lalaka dynasty, but also twelve snake lords and seven beastman lords!

In addition to those who escaped and died in battle, half of them were captured. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, they would probably have to surrender to the Holy Alliance later.

Das had gradually figured out the Snakeman Empire, which was actually a barbaric and loose federation of chiefs.

It is said that there are 12 snakeman lords and 7 beastman lords. Under these 19 lords there are small city-states and small lords. The total population may be to .

They already had their own language and writing, as well as astronomical calendar, history and standards of judgment.

For example, the word "emperor" in their language should actually be translated literally as "the priest king above all kings."

Therefore, the worship of the Snake Emperor is more of a worship of a living god, and Lalaka is regarded as the incarnation of Quetzalcoatl on earth.

Hiss...why does it feel a little familiar?

Das quickly shook his head, throwing away some outrageous thoughts.

"Who among these three people is the successor?"

"Uh." The high priest and the translator thought for a long time before answering, "In our Snake Empire, there is no such thing as an heir. When the emperor's sons grow up, they will go to the border to establish a city-state. After the old emperor dies, the adult child who reaches the capital first will become the emperor."

"Then didn't this Lalaka succeed to the throne at the age of thirteen?"

"Yes, but his father killed his other brothers and died when he ascended the throne, so he is the only child."

"All right." Das glanced at the three children. "The hammers are ringing, the sparks are flying! The knights are lining up to get their swords, whose faces are illuminated by the fire, you are the first to put on your armor and mount your horse——"

Das said to a snake boy: "Okay, you are the snake emperor."

"Ah?" After understanding what Das meant, the high priest and the kneeling snake lords looked up in confusion.

They guessed that the Holy Alliance would support a puppet emperor, but they never thought of it in such a casual way.

Das said without caring, "I originally came here to bring you civilization. I advised you to do business, but you didn't listen.

So we had no choice but to fight back. At the same time, this was also a rebellion and uprising by your city-states against the brutal rule of Laraca - this is what our Holy Union encourages.

Originally, we wanted to remove the so-called emperor, but considering that you people might not accept this result, we retained the emperor's position, but your new emperor must issue a "Human Declaration" to deny his priests and the status of the current human god.

Because within the Holy Union, there can only be one god-man, and that is our great sun, His Majesty Horn Garrar.

As for the running of the country, the governors of the city-states elected by the people in various places will form a responsible cabinet through elections..."

Here, Das was talking in an orderly manner about the post-war arrangements for the Snake Empire, including joining the Holy League and land reform.

He was only halfway through his words when he saw the commander of the Eighth Corps rushing in from the palace with an anxious look on his face.

Das raised his hand to indicate a pause, and took the initiative to walk towards the corps commander: "What's wrong?"

"Captain, we have dug up something incredible in the pyramids and the tombs of the Serpent Emperors..."

"Did I authorize you to dig graves?" Das was furious.

The God's Punishment Army dug secretly, and he turned a blind eye to it, but they even dared to say it in front of him?

"It's just spoils of war. It's impossible for the city-state coalition to eat meat while we drink soup... But this is not the point. Sir Das, you should go and take a look."

The Corps Commander felt embarrassed, but he really had no other choice but to keep begging.

In desperation, Das apologized, asked the military priests to comfort the people and guard the treasury, and followed the legion commander into the interior of the pyramid.

Walking into the big hole opened by the shelling, a damp cold wind blew in my face even though it was so hot in the eastern county of Black Snake Bay.

Lighting the torch, Das followed the corps commander through several corridors and arrived at the place they mentioned.

The huge amber eyeballs reflected the light of the torch. The moment Das saw it for the first time, he almost jumped up.

Fortunately, he immediately realized that this thing was dead, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "Immediately seal off the pyramid and do not allow anyone to enter or leave. Send someone to notify Mudie and ask him to wait for me at the temple."

However, the soldier who had been notified had just walked outside the temple when he saw a rider walking on the water.

Mudie got a short-haired horse from somewhere, trampled the water on the road, and rushed into the temple.

"Mudiay." Das immediately waved at Mudiay.

"That's right, I'm looking for you!" They both spoke at the same time, and were surprised at the same time.

"I'll speak first, then you speak first!"

The two spoke at the same time again.

It was Mudiay who calmed down first: "What's the matter? You go ahead and tell me first."

After organizing his thoughts, Das spoke concisely: "In the pyramid of Yurui City, there is a green dragon's head, which is lifelike."

Mudie was immediately shocked: "You mean the head of a dragon, a giant dragon, the kind that can fly?"

"No, I'm talking about those small, flightless, pig-like creatures... How is it possible, they are dragons." Das said unhappily.

Mudiay rolled his eyes at him and said, "Take me to see it."

In the dim tomb, Mudie and Das were silent for a long time, just like the first time, before they spoke: "We have to report to His Majesty. It's best to transport this dragon head out."

"Yes, let's ask His Majesty first. After we take over Yurui City, there shouldn't be much trouble downstream. Let's firmly control this place first." Das only then remembered what Mudie had said to him, "Why did you come to me?"

"It's about the Holy See City. Do you remember the negotiations between the false Pope Priano and the ogre warlord?"

"Remember, what happened?"

"We just got the news," Mudie smiled sadly and relievedly in the firelight, "At the end of November, the false pope raised enough funds, but the envoys he sent embezzled the military pay.

This caused the ogre warlord Cancun to be at odds with the accounts. It was not known whether Cancun felt cheated or for some other reason.

He launched a sudden attack and captured the Holy City, and on November 1453, 11, the Holy City of the Empire - fell. "
