Chapter 233: The world will always crawl under your feet (please vote)
In the wilderness, a group of snake-men are confronting each other.
There appear to be only a few dozen people on one side, but they are all rough and strong men. They hold crude weapons in their hands and have skilled fighting skills with each other. They are a group of snake people from the animal herding tribe from the north and the west.
One party seems to have a large number of people, but only half of them are young and strong, and the remaining half are old and weak.
The weapons in their hands can only be said to be a few pieces of rotten wood, and some of them just climbed up with a stone.
Many times battles are not just about having more people to solve the problem. The elite snakemen on the other side have murderous eyes in their eyes, and they all laugh wildly in provocation. However, the side with more people turns pale under the intimidation of the other side.
.
They were obviously extremely frightened, but the larger but weaker side refused to retreat.
Because behind them is their own village and tribe, they are unwilling to let these people into the village, fearing that the other party will burn their homes and houses to ashes. Some of them have seen this kind of tragedy in other snake villages.
elephant.
As a shout of killing came from nowhere, the two sides finally fought together.
As expected.
The village snake-men's team formed by the old and the weak was dispersed by the opponent in the blink of an eye. The other party had a perfect attack rhythm, and they cooperated with each other to attack and kill the village snake-men.
After the village snake man killed more than a dozen people, many of them were frightened and immediately turned around and ran back.
But this retreat is completely ruined.
As soon as someone started to run, everyone else followed, and no one was willing to stand in front of him.
They exposed their backs to the enemies wielding butcher knives.
Seeing this state, the snakemen of the herding tribe immediately let out bloodthirsty cheers and hisses. They chased them with weapons and hunted them like they were chasing away toothed beasts.
They know that once this happens, the other party can be at their mercy.
The villages belonging to the city-state are being massacred by the snake people.
Enemies stormed into their presence, robbed their women and belongings, and set fire to their houses.
Chaos, wailing, screaming, and death descended on this village at the same time. It seemed that no one could resist these plunderers from the northwest.
"Kill!" The plunderers had already seen the scene of them returning with their loads, their faces were ferocious and their eyes were red.
"Stop them and kill these beast-herding tribesmen." Several snake men who originally fled like frightened animals saw their compatriots and family members being slaughtered, and immediately rushed forward desperately.
But they had lost their formation and cohesion, and now they thought it was too late to counterattack.
The plunderers rushed up and killed him, and the remaining snakemen did not dare to resist after seeing this, so they could only flee outside the village.
"Cowardly city people." The looters laughed, mocking these cowards wantonly.
"Robbing!" They rushed into the house and snatched everything they could see.
"Hiss." The excited robber hissed at the wailing victim, extremely arrogant.
At this time, a group of people came from afar, and a large number of soldiers holding wooden shields and short guns appeared on the hillside in the distance.
As a man standing in the center gave an order, everyone rushed down the hillside to join the battle.
The leader was a tall and mighty man. He waved a short sword and rushed into the looting crowd.
He killed more than half of the dozens of looters by himself.
He has strong muscles, thick eyebrows and deep eyes. His appearance is somewhat simple, and his bronze skin faintly exudes a luster that only metal should have in the sun.
He waved his bronze sword, swallowing up his enemies like a storm.
His companions followed behind him and kept moving forward.
When those ferocious plunderers encountered beings that were more powerful and more powerful than them, they immediately turned around and ran away, screaming.
But the man was very fast. He caught up with the marauders one by one and chopped them to the ground.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the leader of the plunderers ran at the front. He was not slow at all, and he rushed over a thousand meters in a matter of seconds.
The majestic snake man chased after him because he wanted to intercept and kill other people, so he was thrown tens of meters away.
Just as he was about to dive into a small forest, the man who was chasing the leader of the marauders threw out the sword in his hand.
"Bah!"
The sword accurately penetrated the chest of the snake-man raider leader, and he immediately fell to the ground.
The heroic snake man stepped forward and easily drew his sword.
Then he chopped off the head of the raider leader.
He carried the enemy's head and returned to the snake village.
He raised the head of the plunder leader high, and on that head dripping with blood, the other person's expression always stopped at that moment of looking back in horror.
The man roared: "Victory!"
The sound was like thunder, exploding in the village.
His followers and subordinates also roared together, making a snake-like sound.
The man stood on a high place and asked all the snake people in the village.
"Who among you is the Fire One?"
The fireman is the leader of a village and the person responsible for distributing food.
This tradition started from the time of Snake Mother Themos and has been passed down to the present. However, the name of this position was once called Fire Keeper, and now the Fire Keeper has become the symbol of the highest power of the snake people.
And now, this position is no longer just about distributing food, but has become the person in charge of all affairs of a village.
It took a long time for the snake people in the village to dare anyone to come forward to answer and ask about their origins.
"The original Fire One is dead."
"According to the provisions of the city-state code, I am now the new fire bearer."
"who are you?"
The man came down from the height, looked at the other person and said: "I am Alpanz."
The new fire bearer in the village immediately looked at Alpans in disbelief: "Are you the one favored by God, the warrior who climbed the mountain of the origin of life?"
They have all heard the name of Alpans, and recently this warrior's name has been widely circulated in this area.
He is a warrior of the Fire Guard City. As a civilian, he relied on his powerful strength to become the captain of the guard. He led his soldiers to defend the Fire Guard City in the chaos, until the Fire Guard died and led his soldiers from
Rush out of the city.
He single-handedly climbed the mountain of the origin of life, escaped the petrifying ray of death, and received a gift from a god on the mountain.
Some people say that he is actually a hybrid with the blood of gods, which is why he is able to have such a powerful body and such fearless courage.
Some people say that he was born extraordinary and was God's favored one in the world.
But no matter what kind of legend, it is full of legend.
It is clear.
Alpanz is a famous figure, but what makes him famous is not his identity, but his bravery and heroism that surpass ordinary people.
The snake people in the village immediately exclaimed after learning Alpanz's name. No one expected that such a warrior would come to their village to rescue them.
Soon, Alpanz told them the reason.
"Recently, a large group of snakemen from the animal herding tribe attacked the surrounding villages. We have rescued many villages along the way. Some of my followers are also warriors in these villages."
Having said this, Alpans told all the snake people present.
"Although the Fire Protector City is no longer there, the Fire Protector also died in the hands of the rebels."
"But we are all descendants of Alsini, and we are all people of the city."
"Nowadays, the animal herding tribes in the northwest are constantly moving south to plunder us, but we are like a piece of loose sand, allowing them to rob our wealth and plunder our women and children."
Alpanz became more and more excited as he spoke, his face turned red and his eyes were full of anger.
"Look at the people who died, look at the villages and cities that were burned down, this is what we get to when we are not united."
"We must unite to defend our villages and our families."
After Alpans left the mountain where life originated, he saw a large number of herding tribes of various sizes beginning to migrate southward in groups.
This is not a good phenomenon. In the past, the animal herding tribes always stayed away from the direction of the Fire Guard City.
The defeat of the city-state alliance gave the animal pastoral tribe an opportunity.
The wealth that the Stone Demon Tribe gained from plundering the Fire Guard City made them extremely jealous. What's more, even the Fire Guards were dead, so what could stop them.
One after another, tribes formed alliances and began to plunder the villages, towns, and even attack cities.
Order collapsed and everything fell into chaos.
The rebels thought that after killing the Fire Keeper, their time had come.
However, what ushered in was endless war.
The animal herding tribes on the central plains invaded southward, and this village was one of its victims.
Alpanz's speech made the snakes in the village who had just experienced a disaster empathize with each other, and they all expressed their approval.
The crowd was filled with excitement, and they sobbed softly as they looked at their deceased family members and friends.
Alpans formed an alliance with the snake people of this village and swore an oath to the gods.
From now on.
They will be protected by Alpans, but they must also be loyal to Alpans,
The strong snake men in the village also signed up to join Alpanz's team, wanting to become his followers and subordinates.
After testing their physical strength, Alpanz took a dozen of them into his own army.
"very good."
"They are all good boys."
Alpanz patted the chests of these young adults and laughed.
The other soldiers immediately laughed together, while the young man who had just joined raised his chest high.
The young men have just witnessed Alpanz's bravery and strength, and they are looking forward to and eager to join Alpanz's team and become his followers.
Then follow the other party to protect their hometown, and even make great achievements.
Alpanz didn't stay here long, he only made some arrangements and then left.
They started heading to the next village.
Chaos and war came, and Alpanz established a new order in this chaos. He used covenants and oaths to gods to make covenants with villages and towns.
The number of followers and subordinates he led also increased.
He is called the defender.
-------------------
The rise of Alpans has made surrounding forces feel threatened.
Among them, the first one to attack Alpans and his followers was the Lord of Moonlight City.
When Alpans signed an alliance with a village again, the angry Lord of Moonlight City felt that he had been betrayed. He ordered the soldiers of Moonlight City to massacre the village and warned Alpans at the same time.
Alpanz, however, did not feel any fear at all. He was filled with righteous indignation and summoned the young men of one village after another.
He placed the corpses of innocent dead people on the ground and spoke angrily to everyone.
"What did they do?"
"Why did it bring about such a tragic ending?"
Alpanz's voice was thick and his eyes were full of power: "They didn't do anything. They just wanted to protect themselves, their villages and their families."
His words ignited everyone's anger and made the gathered snake crowd excited.
Alpanz immediately took advantage of the situation and completely ignited the fire, completely expressing the dissatisfaction and anger in his heart.
"Those meat bugs in Moonlight City can't protect them, we can only protect ourselves."
"However, those despicable bastards clearly can't protect their own people, yet they won't let us unite to protect ourselves."
Alpanz: "In the beginning, it was these people who colluded with the people from the animal husbandry tribe to break through the Fire Guard City and kill the Fire Guards."
"It was they who brought disaster to us, it was they who introduced the animal herding tribe into our homeland, and it was they who brought us out."
"All disasters and pains originate from them."
"It's these rebels."
"They are the lord of Moonlight City and his soldiers. They are people from the Stone Demon Tribe and people from Seins City."
Alpanz pointed in the direction of Moonlight City: "Obviously they attracted the plunderers from the Beast Tribe, but now these rebels only dare to hide in the city and tremble, allowing the plunderers to rob us.
home."
"We can't go on like this."
"We have to defeat them and we have to protect ourselves."
Finally, Alpanz shouted out the action he was about to take.
"Conquer Moonlight City."
"Restore order and glory to the city."
Alpanz's mobilization made more and more snake-men filled with indignation, and they blamed all pain and suffering on those who launched the rebellion.
When the number of people increased, Alpans immediately marched into Moonlight City with the howling snake people.
The rebels in Moonlight City did not expect Alpanz's rise to be so rapid, nor did they expect Alpanz's counterattack to be so fierce, nor did they expect Alpanz's powerful power.
Alpans led tens of thousands of snakemen to surround Moonlight City, and the dense crowd rushed out of the wilderness like ants.
them.
Come with anger.
"What is that?" There was a snake man on the city wall who saw this scene.
"They are people, they are all people, hurry up... hurry up... close the city gate quickly." When the defender saw the dense crowd of people, he panicked instantly, ran quickly and shouted loudly.
"No, put down the blocking stone as well." He immediately gave another order.
When the defenders of Moonlight City saw the crowd approaching, they immediately wanted to close the city gate. At the same time, they also put down boulders to block the city gate.
This was originally intended to be used against the herding tribe, but now it was used against Alpans and his followers.
However, Alpans activated the life tool, the Blood Blessed One's Certificate, and quickly rushed to the city gate alone, killing the soldiers who wanted to close the city gate.
Then, a man carried the falling stone.
His strong body possesses incredible strength, and he can lift the boulder bit by bit.
"quick."
"Rush in."
"Let those cowardly and despicable fleshworms pay the price."
He called on his followers and subordinates to rush into the city, while he lifted up the boulder.
Soldiers filed in, and the sound of fighting resounded in the city.
"kill!"
"Let the cowardly and despicable meat bugs pay the price."
Alpanz stretched out a hand, and a shield appeared in his hand.
He hit the boulder with his shield forcefully and immediately saw it shatter into pieces.
This time.
The gate of Moonlight City is completely open.
Alpans, who had broken free from the restraints, also entered the city. The streets were densely packed with soldiers from Moonlight City, and the two sides squeezed together to kill each other.
Moreover, there are powerful wise and powerful people in Moonlight City, and they also control the terrifying fire demons and stone demons.
But at this time Alpanz also arrived.
He brandished his weapons like a god of war descending from the sky.
The stone demon was shattered by his shield, but he was unharmed by the fire demon's flames.
The powerful man was torn apart under the spear, screaming in despair.
nobody.
No one can penetrate the protection of his skirt and harm him.
The rulers of the city were all afraid of Alpanz's power, and were too frightened to face him directly.
Alpanz was like a sharp spearhead, killing the soldiers of Moonlight City and fleeing in disarray.
And at this time, many snakemen in Moonlight City rushed out and joined Alpans' team.
Together they entered the city lord's mansion and killed the city lord of Moonlight City.
Alpanz captured the city.
He stood in front of the city lord's palace, looking at the wave of people.
Everyone looked up at Alpanz, who seemed to be radiating light under the sun.
Kong's powerful body and face as carved as a knife make people feel that Alpans is like a god who has fallen into the world.
"The one favored by God!"
"The one favored by God!"
The whole city is calling out the name Alpanz.
Facing the cheers, Alpanz laughed heartily and hugged his followers with his strong arms.
He looked at the crowd, watching the brave and fearless athletes looking at him with admiration.
Alpans finally understood what he wanted and why he wanted to climb the mountain of the origin of life.
He longs for glory.
He is eager to conquer one mountain after another with his friends and subordinates.
He wants to let it go.
Let your name be cheered and shouted by everyone, and be remembered by all future generations.
The guards and young men in Moonlight City were also completely infected by this emotion. The guards put down their weapons, and the snake people rushed towards Alpans.
"We are willing to follow you,"
"The one favored by God."
-------------------
After Alpans became the ruler of Moonlight City, he began his unstoppable rise.
The beast-herding tribes are not afraid of death, and they still go south in groups to plunder the villages of the city-state alliance.
Although Alpanz possesses powerful strength and physique, he is only powerful as a person.
The animal herder tribe was divided into countless raiding teams and did not fight a direct war with Alpans at all.
This troubled Alpans.
"must."
"There has to be a way to solve this problem of mine."
"We must strengthen our defenses so that the plunderers of the animal herding tribes cannot easily attack our villages and towns, so that they not only cannot rob anything, but also suffer a lot every time."
"And we must also have some good weapons, suitable for defense and pursuit."
He suddenly remembered that he always liked to throw guns and swords to kill enemies. This long-range attack method was extremely useful and easy to produce results.
Just at this time.
An idea flashed in Alpanz's mind, and something he had never seen before appeared in his memory.
He saw a tall building that was completely different from the snake city. It was a ceremonial workshop of the three-leaf people.
A person put some materials on a stone slab, the lines on the stone slab started to flow, and then a special creation appeared in front of him.
What he substituted was this person's perspective, but he couldn't see clearly what this person looked like, just like people couldn't directly see what they looked like.
He could only focus on that special creation, and the name of this thing immediately appeared in his mind.
Bow and arrow.
He saw the man make another arrow and put it on his bow.
At the moment when the two were born, streaks of light fell from the sky and fell on the bow and arrow.
The arrow shoots out.
"Boom."
Alpanz saw this man tearing the sea in half with one arrow, extending for hundreds of meters before stopping.
He activated the Blood Blessed One's Certificate again, put on the armor, and the blood-colored cloak stretched out behind his back,
And the shield in his hand immediately turned into a bow.
He came outside, drew his bow and shot a piece of wood.
It must be said that Alpans is extremely talented. He accurately hit the target with a piece of wood, and the piece of wood was firmly rooted in a tree.
Alpanz's eyes immediately lit up.
Although his bow and arrows are not as powerful as in that picture, he can still feel the power of this weapon.
However, this kind of bow made of the shield of the Blood Blessed One is not suitable for other snake people except Alpans. If you want to make it, you must find another way.
"How to make it?"
Alpans immediately summoned the craftsmen in the city and asked them to start thinking about how to make bows and arrows.
The snake craftsmen tried many times, and finally used the tendons of the tooth beasts to make bow strings, and finally made the weapon Alpans wanted.
This new weapon appeared in the age of the snake people.
And unexpectedly, the snake people seem to be born with a talent for using bows and arrows. Their eyes and pupils are very sharp, and they can accurately detect the breath of living life.
At this time, it was once again the season for the animal herding tribes to invade from the south.
Alpan allowed villages large and small to establish a solid defense system, and then used thick smoke to transmit signals.
As long as they can hold on for a moment and a half, the raiders of the animal herder tribe will not be able to attack the village, and they will soon face internal and external attacks from reinforcements.
Alpans used bows and arrows to fight against the powerful tribes of animal herders. These tribes were caught off guard. A large number of snake soldiers fell to the ground before they saw anyone. The leader of the animal herder tribe was faced with such an unprecedented situation.
He was so frightened that he ran away in panic.
Alpans even let his soldiers scatter out to set up ambushes, leading the herder tribesmen into towns one after another, then closing the doors and shooting them to death with bows and arrows.
Such a close distance and a high perspective.
No matter how the enemy roared and howled, they could not kill Alpanz's archers alone, so they could only sit and wait for death.
Alpans repelled and annihilated the raiders of the Beast Tribe again and again, making the people of the Beast Tribe fearful when they heard the names of Alpans and Moonlight City.
Gradually.
The beast-herding tribe slowly began to give up raiding the villages and towns belonging to Moonlight City, and began to raid villages and towns in other city-states.
Alpanz took this opportunity to develop his strength again, and then started his next plan.
Alpans is preparing to take back the lost fire-protecting city that fell into the territory of the beast tribe.
This is the northernmost city, and it is also a passage for the animal husbandry tribe to go south.
Only by recapturing this place can we stop the animal herding tribe from going south to plunder.
When several large tribes agreed to go south to plunder, Alpans returned here with his soldiers.
The core area of the former city-state is now full of animal herding tribes, and all the fields that were cultivated in the past are abandoned.
Alpanz led his men to drive away the people who killed these animal herding tribes and re-conquered the land.
Here he blocked the retreat of the animal herding tribes, and killed several large tribes that had been plundering the city-state every year. They completely disappeared, and most of them surrendered and became their slaves.
He allowed the people who had escaped from the Fire Guard City to come back here and rebuilt the Fire Guard City, hoping to restore the prosperity and liveliness of this place.
Moreover, the important passage southward for the animal herding tribe was blocked, and now the situation completely changed.
The cities and villages in the hinterland of the snake people no longer have to worry about the herding beast tribes going south to plunder them day after day.
This time.
Alpanz's name has also been thoroughly resounding among the snake people and various large and small city-states. As his reputation grows, the number of soldiers and followers also increases.
One after another, city lords from cities and firemen from small villages came to the Fire Guard City to pay homage to him and recognized Alpans as their leader.
People say so.
"He is God's favorite."
"He is irresistible."
"Alpans, the favored one by God, is a born commander."
Although Alpans re-established the Fire Protector City, he did not want to be the Fire Protector.
In the palace of the Fire Guard City, a group of followers asked Alpans.
"Not a firebender?"
"What do you think it is?"
Suddenly a name came to Alpans' mind: "King!"
"I want to be a king."
Everyone didn't understand what Wang meant, but they felt an aura of majesty from this name.
"king?"
Alpanz nodded and spoke boldly to everyone.
"The firekeeper is the one who distributes the food, and the king is the one who rules over everything."
No one dared to question Alpanz's decision. They all saluted Alpanz and respected him as king.
that's all.
Alpans was regarded as the co-lord of the city-state, and was called the King of the Gods by the snake people.
Became the first snake king.
----------
Fire-protecting city.
A temple was built behind the old bonfire altar. The style of the temple was modeled after the Temple of Life, but it was much smaller than the magnificent temple. There were not so many densely packed palaces and there was not a single winding passage.
Leading to the Tower of Babel that reaches straight to the sky.
The temple itself does not have a name, or the temple itself is the name, and there is no need to add other names.
However, because the temple is located in the Fire Protection City, it is also called the Fire Protection Temple.
In the temple, Sally, the Mother of Life, is enshrined as the main deity, and there is a scarlet witch standing beside her.
A bonfire flickered in front of the temple.
Under the steps, there is a gorgeous snake girl who is dancing gracefully, chanting psalms of praise, and praying to the gods in the snake way.
The divine attendants of the temple were waiting in front of the temple early, waiting for the king of gods to ascend the steps.
Alpans, who had recently become the king of the gods, walked into the newly built temple and applied solemnly and solemnly.
What he was thinking about was what the First Ancestor of Blood said.
"You have to remember."
"There are many things in this world that you can't imagine. Your so-called power and strength are like a grain of sand in the soil. There is an ocean beyond the land, and there is an endless starry sky above the ocean."
"Alpanse!"
"To exist in this world, you must first have a sense of awe."
The Mother of Life on the altar is much larger than the one in the legend.
She looks like a majestic girl, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and holding in her hand the vessel from which all life originates - the mother snail of all things.
Alpans prostrated himself before the statue of the Mother of Life, stretched out his hands and laid them on the ground.
"Supreme Lord of Life, Creator of All Things."
"The world and all souls will always crawl under your feet."
After praying to God, he raised his head and glanced at the statue of the Mother of Life.
There is another statue on the stage.
That is a servant of the Mother of Life and another god.
"The First Ancestor of Blood."
The Scarlet Witch, the ruler of the Kingdom of Blood in the Deep Sea, is also known as the First Ancestor of Blood and the King of the Ancients.
Snake people worship the Mother of Life as their main deity and think she is their creator.
But the Creator no longer comes to this world easily, and new gods are actively appearing before the eyes of mortals.
While they believe in the Mother of Life, they also embrace other followers under her, which does not violate their original beliefs.
-----------------------
Dream world.
Sally suddenly felt something. She suddenly ran and picked up the fairy's magic mirror.
Through the mirror, she saw a brand new temple and the shadow of the bonfire outside the temple.
She also saw Alpans, praying to herself under the statue of the god.
However, she didn't pay attention to this guy. She just changed the angle and looked carefully at the other decorations in the temple to see if there was anything novel.
After reading this.
She immediately ran to God Insai with the magic mirror and showed off to Him.
"The God of Insai."
"Look!"
"I have another temple."
Yin Shen took the magic mirror, looked at it and put it into Sally's hand.
"fine."
"They have something to rely on, and you can be happy too."
Sally pouted: "But no one remembers you."
Yin Shen didn't have much reaction: "If you don't remember, just forget it!"
"Just remember me."
Sally was very happy to hear what Yin Shen said, and she wanted to blow her little conch horn again.
However, Yin Shen glanced at her, and she immediately pouted, put down the mother snail of all things, and put it away.
She held the mother conch of all things in her hands and pinned it behind her back, and pursed her lips at Yin Shen.
