Chapter 530: Desperate Hunt
The white skeleton hung with scattered black feathers, guiding the ravens of war and death to fly over the battlefield, their tarnished scarlet eyes rising and falling, with resentment and mockery, and let out a noisy and piercing scream—
The raven is coming, and the hunt begins!
……
Looking up at the countless ravens flying in the sky, each with a scroll tied to its feet, filled with dense wedge-shaped scripts.
This is a list, from first to sixty-fourth, and every city-state of Monsutteria is impressively listed.
Black and white, two contrasting hues, indicate the new ranking of each city-state after the war.
Black is at the top and white is at the bottom.
This list, which maintains the sorrow and laughter of countless city-states, announces the end of one war, and also heralds the beginning of another hunt.
The suffix of each city-state's name is marked with a special symbol, which means how many hunters the city-state should pair with after the hunt begins.
The first city-state was spared this hunt, and from the second city-state onwards, the number increased gradually.
The second city-state is called 'Thebais', 'Glorious High City', 'Eternal Twin City', 'Giant City with a Hundred Gateways', and countless other titles.
Since its birth, this city-state has experienced countless great hunts, won five 'firsts' in countless 'lackey wars', and has gradually developed to this day by relying on the resources obtained from victory.
With a total population of more than 400,000, it was able to form a standing army of about 25,000 people, and after general mobilization, it could organize an army of more than 100,000 people, and the number of slaves was innumerable.
The 'Thebais', which looks like a chain of two cities, will face a 3,000-scale hunting party this time, which is not a huge number, but it is definitely not easy.
The king of Thebais was ready to keep the sacrifice to a minimum.
……
Ugash was in nineteenth place, and was greeted by a hunting party of more than 10,000 people.
That's a terrifying number for a city-state.
Because this is the seventh dry season, seven decades later, Wumas, who has not been seen for a long time, may come to lead.
If not, then the hunting party is just a small number.
The dominant witch is the fearful fate that every life in this oasis cannot resist in order to survive.
Thousands of years ago, a terrifying battle led to the destruction of the entire continent of 'Sipocles', and countless races rushed to flee.
The kingdom of Monsutria was the first to collapse, and its destruction preceded the destruction of the people of Maya.
While many races and civilizations were being destroyed by new invaders, the Monsutes returned to their homeland and established a new order in the world where the 'arms of the goddess' were gradually drying up.
This time, however, they were targeted by a new invader, but the other side seemed to be disgusted with the near-one-sided war, and for fun, they devised such gamified rules that the originally united Monsutters were plunged into cannibalism.
From the dawn of the kingdom to the dark age of city-states and mutual conquests, the ugliness of the intelligent race is infinitely magnified by fear that borders on despair.
This behavior made Cangye have a kind of thought.
The Witchmas, or the 'Children of Fear', did not invade for the purpose of territorial expansion and resource plunder, nor for senseless killing for fun.
This seemingly useless game of nurturing may be the evil thoughts that have accumulated in the hearts of every intelligent species in the torment of many years.
Filled with anxiety, insecurity, anger, hatred, sadness, and other negative emotions, the people of fear may feed on these illusory substances, and all games may just be a way to provide infinite food for themselves.
……
Hypotheses are proposed, and the next thing is to prove that the night is hidden on the city walls.
Countless Ugash's soldiers rushed out from his side, and the crown prince as the leader was only ten steps away from him, and the bone-shattering steel soul warhammer in his hand was almost sweeping him.
Under the sharp and rapid sound of the horn, the night eyes looked through the tall city wall, and looked up at the plain that had just been irrigated by blood, and dense black spots appeared on the horizontal line of the distant gaze, like a shocking poisonous sore on the body of a sick patient.
The earth is screaming, and the black dots are gathering into a tidal current, engulfing endless destruction.
With the head of a horse, the body of a man, the scarlet eyes that only know how to kill, the sharp teeth that are exposed, and the claws that are as slender as a sickle, this appearance is simply a killing machine prepared for war!
The true face of the hunting party, the true face of the hunting party, was the earliest rebel of the 'Sipocles' before the invasion of the 'Children of Fear' in countless documents, wreaking havoc for hundreds of years, destroying countless civilizations and destroying countless races until they were defeated by the scorpions.
Now the truth of history has been revealed, and the appearance of the Asut Mahin was brought about by the 'Children of Fear'!
……
The hammer smashed under his feet, bursting out countless cracks, and Crown Prince Irut let out a roar:
"Gentlemen, this is a battle for survival!"
"Who is standing before you? Who is hiding behind you? ”
"Either pick up your weapons and kill the things standing in front of you, or let them rush behind you!"
"Either live! Die or die! ”
The simple and clear concept once again inspired all the soldiers under the Crown Prince's excellent [words], and the fear was temporarily suppressed.
Ma Min's charge came extremely fast, and his legs with dense small muscle groups had a strong explosive power, and he only needed to bend his legs and kick to the ground, and then he could bounce upwards five or six meters high, and a sharp claw clinged to the city wall to quickly crawler.
The hot oil poured from the top of the city, and even if it didn't fall on the fast-moving horses, the oil-stained walls would be slippery, making the horsesmen's climbing skills useless.
After that, countless bows and arrows and spears poured down from the city, intertwined like a rain tide, and there was nowhere to escape, and there was no way to avoid it, and many horsemen were crucified to the ground on the spot.
However, the second group dragged the corpses of their compatriots from the ground, built a wall of corpses, and moved quickly towards the city.
Herod!
There was a loud bang, and a strong horse chief jumped up from the ground, grabbed the wall with his claws, and then rolled over and leaped in.
Waiting for it is the crown prince's war hammer.
After several attacks, Irut repelled the attacks of several horsemen chieftains in succession, and killed many thousand-necked and centurions under the hammer.
The most powerful horse king had not yet appeared, and Irut was lucky, but the appearance of a dark shadow shattered this short-lived happiness on the spot.
The chief is the leader of a tribe of horse people, and the king of horses is the leader of countless chiefs who are qualified to establish the founder of the kingdom.
If a hunting party has the appearance of the King of Horses, then it means that there is no witch horse in the team, and on the contrary, there is great despair.
Now, the true leader of the team has finally appeared, but not the Horse King.
