Chapter 258: Hongmen Banquet
The leaders of the apes hated the humans, believing that they had taken away the foundation of their rule that they had so worked so hard to establish in the desert. In the past, all the demon seeds were only looking at him, and they had to pay tribute to him if they got any good things, but since the human race came to give alms to the demon seeds, and lured the desert dwellers to surrender to them with small profits, their position became more and more precarious, and their strength became weaker and weaker, and the demon seeds no longer obeyed him, and praised him as a god in the desert, but had a great posture of respecting and staying away, as if he had been demoted from a god to a plague god in a few nights, and the poverty in the desert did not come from the wind and sand, but from him!
This is an intolerable shame, and if you want to be ashamed, you naturally have to start from the root, that is, to hit humans hard and let them see the power of apes!
But he also had to sigh, when he realized this unbearable change, the effects of the change had taken root in the soft sand, and it was more difficult to shake the trust of the demon seed in humanity than to remove the entire desert.
In fact, many of the descendants of the demon seed have long since been granted entry permits by humans, leaving their barren homeland and heading to the east of the Great Wall. Some of them even intermarried with humans and gave birth to two mixed bloodlines......
This is an irreparable fact, but it is not irretrievable, and there is only one way to save it, which is to restart a large-scale war against mankind, destroy the Great Wall, seize the cities in the east, and turn yourself into the overlord of the east and west sides of the Great Wall. As long as this plan is successful, he will never have to worry about anyone challenging his position in the future!
The leader of the apes is rebellious, but he also knows that it is difficult to win alone, so he has to form an alliance before declaring war on humans.
Those stenching desert or swamp monsters, the leader is disgusted and angry when he thinks of them, but at this juncture, he can't let personal grievances delay major events, and it is still the great cause of the descendants of the apes for thousands of generations!
So the demons in the desert saw a strange thing - the leader of the apes, who was fierce and violent, and killed at the slightest disagreement, became humble and submissive, and approached the demons. He took the initiative to open the tribe's treasury, bringing out food, improvised weapons, and even jewels to send to other tribes, and attached invitations to invite the leaders of the main tribes in the Demon Seed Kingdom to come and talk.
In the past, the leaders of the ape clan regarded wealth as their life, and they were usually reluctant to take out even a piece of fruit to entertain guests. If you want to feast the leaders generously, I am afraid that it is also a Hongmen banquet, maybe it is to wipe out the leaders and replace them with his own cronies......
But if you refuse, on the one hand, the gift sent is reluctant to return, and on the other hand, isn't it a show of weakness to that shameless bastard? If you are not afraid, how can you refuse?
In order to cope with this unexpected situation, the leaders secretly gathered for a small meeting before the envoy made his decision.
After discussion, everyone agreed that this meal must be eaten, and it must be eaten happily and like a friend. But to be on the safe side, everyone had to bring their own soldiers and horses, and lurk in the woods outside the ape tribe, and obey orders.
The ape race is certainly powerful, but no matter how strong it is, it can't kill all the other races at once, if all the demon races stand up and resist him together, the odds are very high!
……
The more than 100 envoys sent by the ape chieftain all returned unharmed, bringing the good news that every tribal leader had agreed to attend the appointment, and had accepted the gift with great gratitude.
"These shameless bunnies!" The small dark eyes of the leader of the ape clan cast a mocking light, "Is it true that my apes are not as intelligent as humans? Promised so neatly, what is it if it wasn't discussed in advance? Swallow the treasure in my treasure house, and come to eat my meal for nothing, and then pat your ass and go away, you really know how to be careful! ”
The military advisor next to him came over and carefully weighed: "My king, you won't really let these bed bugs take advantage of the ape tribe, right?" ”
The leader sneered: "What do you say? He slapped the military advisor in the face and crooked his nose, and from then on he got the nickname of the crooked-nosed ape.
The leader of the ape clan feasted guests, which was the first time since the desert demon seed formed a demon seed society, and it was naturally very grand.
Because of the courage of their own army behind them, and the wine table was full of allies, the leaders of the various tribes who went to the banquet were all elated, ready to eat and drink with their bellies open.
Compared to humans, the brain of the demon seed is so simple that there is almost no sulcus, and it is so flat and a full circle, how much scheming can there be? To tell the truth, they were able to get together to discuss the strategy of the hypothetical snake, which was already considered super intelligent, and no one thought that the leader of the ape clan would attack them at the banquet, and that kind of black hand, even if thousands of troops were mobilized, could not be stopped, because it came from food......
The cunning old ape didn't mention a word of business during the banquet, only talking to everyone about the friendship that never existed, and the prospect of the future of the entire demon seed world. The leaders were overjoyed when they heard this, not believing his nonsense, but thinking that he really had no special intentions, and invited everyone to come, just to relieve the unbearable loneliness in the desert.
Among the more than 100 leaders, of course, not everyone took it lightly, and there were one or two who wondered why his nose was crooked when they saw the military advisor. In the ape tribe, if it wasn't for the leader himself, who would dare to use the military division? But why would the leader slap the nose of his most powerful subordinate?
However, the suspicion of one or two people could not arouse everyone's vigilance, and the banquet went on like this.
After three rounds of drinking, some people begin to feel that they are not strong enough to drink, and they don't understand how much they drink in their own tribe and they don't get drunk. Is it because of the toil of the long journey?
As they prepared to leave their seats and go back to their respective inns, the more beautifully decorated caves to rest, the big ugly face of the leader of the apes suddenly retracted and was as hard as freshly formed ice.
"My friends," he said, "this meal did not disappoint you, did it?" ”
"Huh? What does that guy mean? Why did you suddenly change your face? ”
The alert few immediately realized that something was wrong, and prepared to smash the bowl to signal and gather the troops who were not far away.
The military advisor had a strange nasal voice, and howled in pain from his crooked nose: "Sit down, whether it is a cup or a bowl, gently put it back on the stone table, otherwise you will be killed!" ”
Yes?!
The unpleasant voice of the military advisor was tantamount to a thunderbolt that woke up all the drunken demon leaders. They struggled to open their eyes to see the leader of the ape, who was now the only one with his crooked nose and the group of ape soldiers guarding the cave.
"You...... What have you done to us, you despicable?! ”
The leader of the snake clan shouted angrily, but he could never wait for an answer, for as soon as he spoke, one of the ape soldiers stabbed his throat with a spear.
