Chapter 649: The Snake Man’s Conspiracy

When the Lizard Queen died in the battle at the Bridge of Faith and was transformed into a shadow dragon by Gavin, the originally lifeless Dead Swamp suddenly fell into restlessness, especially the half-sunk Snakeman Temple. After waking up, countless huge figures emerged from the water. They could vaguely look like humanoid outlines, but many of their appearance features were that of snakes.

The snake god statues on the Snake Man Temple lit up one by one, emitting gray light, and the snakes' screams that were difficult to hear with the naked ear spread from above, instantly spreading throughout the Dead Swamp and even the entire map. The En Swamp has pushed that restlessness to an extreme. All the snakes can't help but surge towards the snake-man temple. Among these figures, the most eye-catching ones are those with human-like outlines.

The appearances of these humanoid beings are not entirely the same, and can even be said to be very different.

Most of them are very similar to humans, but they have many non-human characteristics, such as skin covered with snake scales, snake-shaped eyes, sharp snake teeth and bifurcated tongues like snakes. The severity of these characteristics varies. They are not different. The lighter ones only have one or two of the special features, while the heavier ones have all of them, and their skin is covered by a large area of ​​snake scales.

This type of snake-people is called pure-blooded snake-people, which is the lowest level of the entire snake-people. They are called defective products with impure blood. This is due to the reason of returning to ancient times, and also because snake-people are mixed with other humanoid creatures. Finally, the reason for the dilution of the bloodline belonging to snakes.

Don't be deceived by the humanoid part of their body. Even if she only has one snake scale on her body, she is still a snake person, not a human. Her character is biased towards the ruthlessness of snake people, and her camp is also biased towards Snake people are not human. Even if this snake person grew up among humans, once there is a chance to return to the snake people group, they will not hesitate to do so, including betraying those who raised them. Intelligent creatures, because they are creatures without emotions, cannot establish bonds through emotions. Those who tried to bind the snake people with emotions failed without exception, and suffered backlash from them. In order to pay tribute to those with pure blood, Snake people prove their worth and lineage, and their methods are often more cruel and inhumane than other types of snake people.

Due to their physical limitations, it was obviously difficult for these pure-blooded snakemen to move around in the swamp, so without exception, they all rode huge pythons.

There are also some snake people who have broken away from the humanoid category, but are a mixture of humans and snake creatures. The kind of snake that has the upper body of a human and the lower body of a python is only the most widely known species in the world. In fact, On the Internet, the image of snake people is far from limited to this. There are also people with snake heads and human bodies, and there are also people with human heads and human bodies, but their arms are snake-shaped. This group of snake people are collectively called cursed snake people. They are already the middle class of snake people. .

Above them are the models of snake people, snake-hating people who claim to have the same form as the snake god. They have humanoid torsos and arms, but their heads are those of giant snakes, and their bodies are covered with snake scales.

Anachet is a snake-hating person. He is extremely tall. Just the standing part is more than three meters tall. There is no trace of human emotion in the snake's eyes, only endless coldness, including those who look at them continuously. The same was true when the snake people gathered.

Soon, the area around the Snake Man Temple was surrounded by densely packed snakes and snakes. As far as the eye could see, Anachet, the snake-hating man, said in the unique hissing voice of a snake man: "That despicable creature from Kurgol The invaders are dead, and the Lizard King's court is leaderless. It's time to take back everything that belongs to us. It's time to tell the world that the Thun Swamp belongs to our Thun Snake people. I order you in the name of the High Priest Zehir, Show your fangs and inject your poison into the blood of your enemies, turning them into a part of us, so that they can also enjoy the glory of Zehir."

Even when he was giving an impassioned speech, Anachet's tone did not have any ups and downs. There was no emotion in it, only endless coldness, and he was just stating a fact.

"We will never let down Zehir's expectations, let alone the high priest."

"Our venom is destined to fill the entire Thun Swamp, and everything here is destined to belong to us."

"Take back what's ours, take back what's ours."

The responses coming from below also lacked passion, and those snake hisses and roars were more like perfunctory responses. How could a group of creatures without basic emotions inspire morale?

Anachet was so used to it that he continued without being affected at all: "As long as you honor Zehir, he will give you a purer snake-man bloodline, allowing you to gain stronger power, and you will become Zehir." Hill’s fangs.”

"Zehir!"

"Zehir!"

"Zehir!"

These words have a significantly greater impact on these snake people. There is a bit of fieryness in the snake people's screams, especially those pure blood snake people. Obtaining a purer snake people bloodline is their most urgent pursuit at present. If Without getting rid of the shackles of the lower forms, they would not even be able to enter the middle and upper levels of the snake people, let alone gain greater power.

Fortunately for them, the form of snake people is not static. They can constantly shed their skin and transform like snakes. However, this cannot be done by ordinary methods and must rely on the snake god. The divine power helped them carry out.

"Then let's get started." The hateful snakeman Anachert didn't waste any words and gave orders neatly. This is the advantage of abandoning human emotions. They will not be swayed by their own vain vanity and desire for power to do meaningless things. They only need to give orders and the snakemen below will execute them, so that things can be kept in the most efficient state. Those snakemen have no joy and fear, so naturally they will not have lazy ideas.

Those snakemen were as fast as when they came, leading their snake servants to rush to all directions of the Thun Swamp. It didn't take long for them to run away completely, including the original snakes in the Snake Swamp. Even the pure-blooded snakemen with the lowest status among the snakemen were the kings among the non-intelligent snakes. All snakes would willingly accept their slavery and domination.

Obviously, these snakemen did not completely follow the orders of the Lizard Queen and confine their steps to the snake swamp. They have been active in the entire Tuen Swamp. Both the cursed snakemen and the hateful snakemen are shapeshifting creatures. They can transform between humanoid and snake forms at will. Pythons of various forms are the most common existence in the swamp, and it is very difficult to detect them lurking around them.

Compared with the open swords and guns, the snakemen prefer to lurk in the dark and quietly inject their venom into the enemy's blood. This is the method they adopted against the Lizard King Court.

The method they adopted is exactly the same as that of the Lizard Queen, that is, to inject the blood of their snakemen into the blood of these black-scaled lizardmen, giving birth to a new kind of snakemen-lizard snakemen.

In terms of status, these lizard snakemen are equivalent to pure-blooded snakemen. They do not have all parts of their bodies turned into snakes, but their scales tend to be snakes, they have snake-like vertical pupils, their tails tend to be snake tails, etc.

As a scaly tribe, these snake characteristics are not very obvious among the black-scaled lizardmen, especially since the black-scaled lizardmen's bloodline itself is mixed with the black dragon bloodline, which is not very stable. It is not uncommon for some beings that look very different from other tribes to appear.

These snakemen took advantage of the half-bloods' identification with snakemen and infiltrated the black-scaled lizardmen of the Lizard King's Court in all directions. The reason why the Lizard Queen and the Spirit Naga did not notice it was because this infiltration was carefully controlled by these cunning snakemen at the bottom. Among the black-scaled lizardmen that the Lizard Queen cared least about, they were just a group of servants who helped her collect wealth and food. Usually, she didn't even look at them straight in the eye. How could she know that they had been infiltrated by the snakemen?

This is safe, but the combat effectiveness is very limited. After all, as the core of the Lizard King's Court, the half-black dragon lizardmen and the evil-toothed lizardmen can neither infiltrate nor dare to infiltrate. As long as these lizardmen do not leave the black-scaled lizardmen tribe easily, they dare not act rashly.

This time, the Lizard Queen was tempted by the Conqueror Army and pulled out all her main forces to form a large army of Lizardmen. For these snakemen, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

As soon as Anachette was sure that the Lizard Queen was dead, they launched their plan that they had prepared for many years without hesitation. Under the leadership of these pure snakemen, the Lizardmen who lurked in various black-scaled lizardmen tribes controlled all the women and children of these tribes.

The purpose is self-evident, that is, to use them to threaten the black-scaled lizardmen who retreated to the Thun Swamp, so that they would give up the heart of resurrecting the Lizard Queen and become the servants of their Thun snakemen.

They have carefully prepared for this plan for more than half a century, and the timing of launching it is even more exquisite.

The right time, the right place, and the right people.

All parties are on their side, and it is difficult to fail.

All fifteen black-scaled lizardmen tribes, without exception, fell into the control of the Thun snakemen.

When Gregory led the lizardmen army to secretly swim back to the Lizard King's Court, the hateful snakeman Anachet had already sat on the throne that once belonged to the Lizard Queen.

Seeing this, Gregory was furious and said, "Anachet, you are so bold, do you think you can sit on this seat? Are you going to repay His Majesty's kindness in this way? Aren't you afraid of causing His Majesty's wrath and leading the army to directly flatten your snake swamp, so that your last place of refuge will no longer exist?"

The Lizard Queen is not completely unpopular. At least her sons, these half-black dragon lizardmen are loyal to her, at least on the surface, especially Gregory, because this is the key to his rule over the Lizardmen army. If there is no Lizard Queen's fierce reputation, the entire Lizardmen army will not be as simple as falling apart, but will be led by other half-black dragon lizardmen to fight for power and profit. This can be seen from the many obstacles he encountered in the process of bringing the entire Lizardmen army back to the Thun Swamp.

The current Thun Swamp is in an unprecedented crisis. If it is not handled carefully, it will be doomed.

He never thought that before he could figure out how to deal with the conqueror army and determine the current state of the Lizard Queen.

The former vizier of the Lizard Queen, the cunning long snake, appeared again.

Gregory hates snakes, very, very much. Whether it is the former Vizier Anachet or the current Vizier Alhassan, everything they say is venomous, everything they do Everything has an ulterior motive. They have never been loyal to the Lizard Queen. They are only loyal to themselves. They don't need reasons or evidence. He trusts his intuition.

The first time he saw Anachet, Gregory had a bad feeling in his heart. This poisonous snake would have appeared sooner or later, but if it appeared at this time, it would definitely bring disaster. A poison that is difficult to tolerate.

"First tell me where Kurgor is?" Anachet, the snake-hating man, straightened up from the throne that was extremely inconsistent with his body shape and stared at Gregory condescendingly.

His voice was obviously cold and there was no fluctuation in his tone, but Gregory could hear a strong sense of ridicule in it. The most important thing was that he had no way to refute the other party because he didn't know what happened to his queen. whats the matter.

After being shrouded in the black mist created by the enemy for a few minutes, the Lizard Queen's behavior and orders immediately took a 180-degree turn. The enemy who was originally fighting for life and death became a friendly force in the blink of an eye. Declare war on the hag army in the Far Sea Swamp.

They had doubts about this order at first, but when the entire war situation was involved in a god's battle to become a god, all that was left was rejoicing. If the Lizard Queen hadn't changed her attitude earlier, they would probably have done the same. Becoming cannon fodder in the war between gods and gods, and finally becoming the trophy of other people's souls - because in the war between gods, those gods will drive them ashore mercilessly regardless of whether you are good at ground combat. This is needless. Doubtful, in their eyes, they are all mortal ants, cannon fodder that can be consumed without restraint.

The amphibious force that besieged the swamps in the distant sea and returned to the barren river also did not have a big impact on them. After all, it was a defeated army with neither core leadership nor fighting determination. It was a one-sided encirclement. Intercept and kill, and it's the kind that works hard but doesn't work hard.

But with the inexplicable disappearance of the Lizard Queen, Gregory's uneasiness reached an extreme. He always felt that the Lizard Queen's previous uncharacteristic behavior was not as simple as a change of heart, but more like being controlled by someone and had to do this. .

In order to minimize the losses, Gregory took the risk of being eaten alive by the Lizard Queen and brought the Lizardmen army back to the Lizard King's Court. He waited for the return of the Lizard Queen and actively explored the current status of the Lizard Queen. I believe that the root of this matter lies with the army of conquerors. If they choose to open up the Goblin frontier and want to plot the Thun Swamp, they will be an existence that the opponent cannot get around. Only by keeping the entire lizardman army intact can they Have the leverage to negotiate with them and find a way to redeem the Lizard Queen.

But who would have thought that before this matter could begin, extraneous matters arose within the Thun Swamp, making the matter more complicated.

Seeing the half-black dragon lizardman general, Anachet, who hated snakes, was at a loss for words, and hissed: "Is there no way to answer my question? Haha, let me tell you, she is dead, and I am with her There is a mark on her body. When her dragon soul leaves her body, she will notify me immediately that she will never come back..."

"Impossible." Gregory categorically denied, "Your Majesty is not dead yet, she was just temporarily controlled by someone using magic. No one can kill your Majesty silently, Anachet, don't be deceived here." Everyone, get out of here immediately and go back to your snake swamp. I will pretend that nothing happened today. Otherwise, I can lead people to flatten your snake swamp and kill all your poisonous snakes without Your Majesty’s intervention. Kill them all, and you are able to stay in the Snake Swamp not because of how strong you are, but because of the kindness of Her Majesty the Queen, who allows you to exist. "

At the end of the sentence, the half-black dragon lizardman general showed his fierceness. He decided not to waste any time with this cunning poisonous snake, and used the simplest, crudest, and the method he was best at to solve the problem - force.

Anyway, these poisonous snakes have always been good at conspiracy, not combat power. The army of more than 10,000 lizardmen he now holds in his hands is his greatest confidence. He can't compete with the army of conquerors. If he eats one, he has been kept captive in the center of the swamp. Snake nest is not a simple matter.

The snake-hating man was unmoved at all. Instead, he waved his hand and the rotten pool in front of him began to rotate crazily. A picture appeared in front of Gregory, and he just said: "If I remember correctly, this The tribe should be your mother tribe, under your supervision, and these should be your descendants..."

After just one glance, the black dorsal fin on Gregory's head opened angrily, turned red, and roared: "Anachite, you are despicable and shameless, if you dare to touch any of my people, Scales, I will fight you until every poisonous snake in your snake swamp is exterminated."

The Hateful Snake Man didn't take Gregory's threat seriously at all, and hissed slowly. "Whether to touch them or not, the final decision is not in my hands, but in your hands. As long as the general is willing to cooperate with me, I promise that not only will I not touch a single scale of your offspring, but I will also guarantee that the general's status will not be affected in any way, and even above this, he will become the new king of the entire Thun Swamp, the common lord of all scaled people. Not only the lizardmen, but also all the snakemen and crazy frogmen will swear allegiance to you..."
