The deeper he went into the Dongli Grasslands, the more it felt like hell to Yang Dingtian.
That was because there were flames of war, destruction, and death everywhere.
Almost every tribe, every forest, and every valley was burning. Everyone was being massacred.
Countless werewolves, demon wolves, eaglemen, and leopardmen were crazily destroying every tribe and crazily capturing every slave!
Under the Snakeman Race's enslavement, the cruel half-human army was followed by death wherever they went.
Now, Yang Dingtian saw that most of the half-human tribes on the ground had already disappeared. They had all become the Snakeman Empire's military camps and castles.
The Snakeman Empire's slave army was in every corner of the forest, searching for half-human slaves to build a terrifying desert defense line.
Yang Dingtian had stirred up trouble, but he couldn't bear it any longer. That was because the cruel slave army had practically trampled on the bottom line of intelligent life.
Slaughtering, capturing, raping, and cooking were a series of crimes that were constantly being played out on this land.
Therefore, in the process of investigating, Yang Dingtian became a chivalrous hero.
He began to crazily hunt down the Snakeman Empire's slave army in the forests of the Dongli Grasslands.
Of course, it wasn't correct to call it a hunt.
Although Yang Dingtian came and went without a trace, when he killed, he was fierce and decisive.
At first, when a dozen werewolf cavalry teams were searching for slaves, Yang Dingtian killed them all in a flash.
Later, when he encountered a few hundred werewolf cavalry teams, Yang Dingtian also killed them all in a flash.
Yang Dingtian didn't take the initiative to provoke the Snakeman Empire's slave army. His goal was to save the fleeing half-human race.
In order to hide his identity, Yang Dingtian covered himself in a black cloak.
Every time the Snakeman Empire's slave army moved out and raised their butcher's knife, he would appear.
No matter how many slave soldiers there were in the Snakeman Empire, from dozens to hundreds, he would kill them all in less than a quarter of an hour, saving the fleeing half-human race from the butcher's knife.
Dozens, hundreds, thousands!
In the end, Yang Dingtian killed more and more of the Serpentmen Empire's slave army.
More and more Half-Humans were rescued by Yang Dingtian, and they began to gather and flee towards the east!
…
In the process of playing the role of a chivalrous hero, Yang Dingtian had more or less figured out the whole situation.
About ten months after the great battle in Cloud Sky City, the Naga Tribe that had been sealed off for a thousand years suddenly left their territory.
A group of less than a thousand Naga warriors attacked the Werewolf Tribe, Demon Wolf Tribe, Eaglemen Tribe, Leopardmen Tribe, Lizardmen Tribe, Ghost Men Tribe, Tiger Men Tribe, and Lion Men Tribe!
The Dongli Grassland had a total of a few hundred Half-Human Clans. These eight clans were considered the strongest ones.
Less than a thousand Snake-People warriors had completely defeated the higher-ups of the eight clans in just over half a month. They had captured the leaders of the eight Half-Human Clans and captured all the experts and brought them into the territory of the Snake-People Tribe.
Half a month later, the few thousand Half-Human experts of the eight clans were all released and their strength had increased tremendously.
Then, the few million Half-Human warriors of the eight clans all became the slave army of the Snake-People Tribe.
Then, the few thousand Snake-People Tribe warriors led the few million Half-Human Tribe slaves to form 16 armies and began to sweep across the entire Dongli Grassland.
Then, the end of the Dongli Grassland's Half-Human Tribe began.
Wherever the brutal slave army passed, not even a blade of grass grew and everything was destroyed.
On the Dongli Grassland, one tribe after another fell.
Countless villages and villages were destroyed, and countless Half-Humans were slaughtered.
In just over half a year, more than 90% of the tens of millions of square kilometers of the Dongli Grassland had fallen.
Almost all the tribes were destroyed.
In the shortest time possible, the Snake-People Tribe enslaved the few million troops of the eight major battle clans and swept across the Dongli Grassland, establishing a huge Snake-People Empire.
This was the first time in thousands of years that the Dongli Grassland was unified, and it was almost the first empire in the entire Chaotic World!
That's right, it was a real empire!
Queen Poissa had become the Queen of the Dongli Empire!
Under the Queen, there was the High Priest, the Prime Minister, the Four Great Commanders, and the Sixteen Generals!
The few million Barbarian soldiers of the eight major clans were under the command of the Sixteen Generals!
Moreover, Queen Poissa had established a complete class system.
The Snake-People Tribe was the noblest tribe in the Empire.
The Spirit-People Tribe and the Eaglemen Tribe were first class tribes.
The Lionmen Tribe, the Leopardmen Tribe, and the Tigermen Tribe were second class tribes.
The Werewolf Tribe, the Demonic Wolf Tribe, and the Lizardmen Tribe were third class tribes.
The remaining few hundred Half-Humans, including the Beast Tribe, were all enslaved!
Now, all the large cities and villages of the Dongli Grassland had fallen.
The few million troops of the Snake-People Empire were guarding the entire Dongli Grassland.
Teams of dozens and hundreds of people began to search for the Half-Humans in the primitive forests and the depths of the mountains.
The Half-Human slaves that Yang Dingtian had seen in the desert were only a part of the Snake-People Empire.
In fact, the Snake-People Empire didn't just want to build a defensive line of six to seven thousand miles in the desert.
She wanted to build the entire Dongli Grassland into a military fortress.
In fact, the city wall she wanted to build wasn't six to seven thousand miles, but more than thirty thousand miles!
Yang Dingtian was completely shocked. Compared to Queen Poissa, Yang Dingtian's Cloud Sky City was nothing.
This Queen actually wanted to encircle the entire Dongli Grassland with a gigantic city wall.
Once the city wall was built, seawater would be drawn in and a moat that was a hundred meters wide would be dug.
What was even crazier was that this gigantic project was already half completed.
The Snake-People Empire had used tens of millions of Half-Human slaves, millions of Giant Beasts, and millions of Barbarian soldiers to build this unprecedented military defense line.
Now, the thirty thousand miles of military defense line had entered the climax of construction.
Countless Half-Human slaves had died!
Tens of millions of slaves weren't enough. Therefore, the Snake-People Empire's slave army had no choice but to frantically search for the Half-Humans that had escaped to the deep mountains in the Dongli Grassland.
…
In fact, when the several hundred Half-Humans were attacked, they also thought of forming an alliance to resist the Snake-People Empire.
However, the Snake-People Empire's slave army was too fast!
The eight tribes' slave army were basically Demonic Beast Cavalry that traveled thousands of miles in a day. Before the Half-Human Alliance could reach an agreement, millions of slave soldiers had already surged over like a tide.
This was even faster than the German Blitzkrieg in World War II.
In fact, the Snake-People Empire had swept the entire Dongli Grassland in less than three months.
This was because the eight tribes were the most powerful fighting tribes in the Dongli Grassland. They were the eight overlords of the Dongli Grassland.
When the eight tribes joined forces, they were enough to sweep the Dongli Grassland.
However, for thousands of years, the eight tribes had been at war with each other. Not to mention the eight tribes joining forces, even the three tribes joining forces had never been seen before. They were always at war with each other.
In less than a month, the Snake-People Race had made the leaders of the eight tribes kneel under their scales. From then on, the eight tribes formed an incomparably powerful force that swept the Dongli Grassland.
Then, as the ninth overlord of the Dongli Grassland, and also the smartest tribe, what was the fate of the Foxman Race?
The Foxman Race had split up!
A portion of them had surrendered to the Snake-People Empire, while another portion had joined the resistance army.
Therefore, a portion of the Foxman Race had become the Snake-People Empire's slave army.
Of course, the Snake-People Race's main use was that they had many beauties. Therefore, these beauties had become the Snake-People Empire's prey.
Moreover, because half of the Foxman Race had joined the resistance army, the Foxman Race's position in the Snake-People Empire was not fixed. They were not slaves, nor were they told what race they were.
Queen Poissa had issued a decree that once the Foxman Race's resistance army was completely annihilated, the Foxman Race would become a second-class race.
Then, where was the resistance army?
The resistance army was everywhere!
The current resistance army had become similar to a guerrilla army. They had begun to launch sneak attacks on the Snake-People Empire's cities and towns. They had also launched sneak attacks on the Snake-People Empire's slave army and rescued captured Half-Human slaves.
Then, where was the resistance army's base?
In the Holy Valley at the far east of the Dongli Grassland, it was an extremely dangerous place where one person could guard against ten thousand people.
Now, the Holy Valley was the only place in the entire Dongli Grassland that had not fallen.
It was also the destination of countless slaves fleeing. It was also the only pure land in the Dongli Grassland!
The Foxman Race was the main force of the Holy Valley's resistance army.
Now, the Snake-People Empire's million-strong army, two commanders, and eight generals had already built an extremely powerful castle and defense line outside the Holy Valley.
Now, the Holy Valley's war was about to break out!
Once the Snake-People Empire's million-strong army was fully assembled and the defense line was completed, they would launch the final counterattack against the Holy Valley's resistance army!
The Foxman Race's leader, Day By Day Bella, happened to be one of the leaders of the Holy Valley's resistance army.
Of course, he was not the highest leader!
The highest leader of the Holy Valley's resistance army was Saintess Hai Xin and her disciple, Huang Yu!
Saintess Hai Xin was like a savior who had suddenly descended!
When the Half-Human Race was in complete despair, when Day By Day Bella's Foxman Race's resistance army was almost completely wiped out, she appeared!
With her own strength, she killed dozens of Snake-People Race's experts and hundreds of Half-Human Race's experts, saving the last resistance of the Foxman Race.
Then, she and her disciple, Huang Yu, appeared in every corner of the Dongli Grassland to save the tribes that were still resisting.
Thus, the scattered Half-Human Race's resistance army gathered under Saintess Hai Xin's command and became a powerful force that retreated to the far east of the Dongli Grassland!
Of course, there was actually nothing in the far east of the Dongli Grassland. There was only an undulating stretch of huge rocky mountains.
Saintess Hai Xin gathered hundreds of experts and used force to split open a crack in the rocky mountains.
Behind the crack was a huge valley that looked like a paradise.
The Half-Human Race's resistance army and the escaped slaves entered the valley.
Because of Saintess Hai Xin, this valley was named Sacred Valley and became the last pure land of the Dongli Grassland. Now, millions of Half-Human Race's people were in Sacred Valley and there was an endless stream of Half-Human Race slaves escaping to Sacred Valley.
However, the path of escape was becoming more and more difficult because the Snake-People Empire had built a thousand mile defensive line in front of Sacred Valley, completely surrounding the entrance to Sacred Valley.
Because the final battle in Sacred Valley was about to begin!
Therefore, the resistance army's guerrillas had begun to retreat from Dongli Grassland to Sacred Valley and prepare to participate in the final battle!
After the resistance army's guerrillas left, the fate of these escapees became tragic.
Because there was no one to lead them to Sacred Valley and no one to protect them from the slave army's pursuit.
And Yang Dingtian's appearance just happened to fill this gap!
… …
At this moment, Yang Dingtian was three thousand eight hundred miles away from Sacred Valley!
This was the territory of the Snake-People Empire's Fifth Legion!
The Fifth Legion's highest commander was the Snake-People General Viper Mo!
Her encampment was a thousand and three hundred kilometers away in the Southeast Demon City. It was a completely new castle!
Under her command, there were over three hundred Snake-People warriors and four hundred thousand slave soldiers from eight clans!
In the beginning, Yang Dingtian only took action to save the slaves that were being hunted down.
Later, Yang Dingtian took the initiative to attack and began to search for the Snake-People Empire's slave army to destroy them!
Therefore, the number of people that Yang Dingtian had killed was increasing!
In less than ten days, the number of Snake-People Empire's Fifth Legion that died in Yang Dingtian's hands had exceeded twenty to thirty thousand!
And the number of Half-Human Race slaves that Yang Dingtian had rescued had also exceeded twenty to thirty thousand!
And Yang Dingtian's name had spread far and wide. He had become the savior of the entire Southeast Dongli Grassland and the Fifth Legion's nightmare!
And yet, no one had ever seen Yang Dingtian's appearance.
Because of this, all the slave soldiers that saw Yang Dingtian had died.
Therefore, the Snake-People General Viper Mo had always thought that Yang Dingtian was an elite rebel army of the Holy Valley and that there were no less than a few thousand of them!
Of course, they did not know that there was only one Yang Dingtian!
And now, Yang Dingtian had become too powerful to be ignored!
Because the Foxman Race slaves that he had rescued had begun to gather together.
They also felt that Yang Dingtian was an elite member of the resistance army. Therefore, they instinctively approached him.
Therefore, the number of escaped slaves increased and finally, there were tens of thousands of them!
And Yang Dingtian had begun to run for his life.
He alone had to protect these tens of thousands of people!
And General Viper Mo had also discovered these tens of thousands of escaped slaves and was about to organize an army of a hundred thousand to kill them.
Therefore, for the past few days, Yang Dingtian had no choice but to kill all the slave soldiers that approached these thirty thousand slaves. He did not allow any slave soldiers to come within a thousand meters of these thirty thousand slaves.
However, these slave soldiers were only scouts!
Yang Dingtian had already seen General Viper Mo's army of a hundred thousand. They had formed a huge pocket formation 500 miles ahead and were waiting for these thirty thousand slaves to rush in!
…
Within the Holy Valley!
Saintess Hai Xin was wearing a blue veil that only revealed two pairs of eyes!
But just these two pairs of eyes were enough to turn all living things upside down!
This was a woman whose beauty was not inferior to the Nihility Piao Ling!
She was wearing a long dress that was the color of the sea. It caused her delicate curves that were like mountains and rivers to release a devilish charm.
In front of her was her disciple, Huang Yu!
She was wearing a fiery red dress that accentuated the curves of her body. Her curves were incomparably alluring.
On her face was a pure gold mask that only revealed a pair of eyes that were like burning flames!
The beauty, figure, and temperament of these two women could be at the top of the pyramid of this world!
"Our messenger bird sent a message that there are tens of thousands of escaped slaves four thousand miles away from the Holy Valley. They are heading towards the valley."
Saintess Hai Xin said, "Also, a mysterious force appeared and killed tens of thousands of slave soldiers from the Naga Empire, saving these tens of thousands of slaves!
Has our resistance army all returned? "
Her voice had a very special feeling to it. It was as mysterious as the sea, generous, and with a mesmerizing magnetism.
Day By Day Bella said, "Reporting to Saintess!
Our resistance army has a total of one hundred and fifty thousand guerrillas. Most of them have returned to participate in the final battle in the Holy Valley.
There are less than ten thousand people outside and they are all scattered.
To be able to kill tens of thousands of slave soldiers from the Naga Empire, it should not be our force! "
"Then whose force could it be?" The patriarch of the Butterfly Tribe asked.
"It doesn't matter whose force it is.
As long as we fight against the Naga Empire and save the half-human slaves, they will be our comrades. "
Hai Xin said, "According to our intelligence, the Naga General Viper Mo has gathered hundreds of thousands of soldiers and is preparing to kill this force and the thirty thousand slaves!
We can't let our comrades and compatriots die like this. We have to go and rescue them! "
Day By Day Bella said, "Saintess, I also want to rescue them.
However, the final battle in the Holy Valley is right before us and the Naga Empire's encirclement is about to be completed.
If we want to rescue them, we will have to break through the Naga Empire's encirclement. We will suffer heavy losses and the gains will not make up for the losses! "
"No, we can't give up on anyone!
Even if the sacrifice is huge, we have to bring them back. "
Saintess Hai Xin said, "Huang Yu, lead a group of the most elite warriors. There is no need for a lot of them, less than a thousand will do!
Take the fastest flying mounts and rush out before the Naga Empire's encirclement closes. Rescue the thirty thousand escapees and that mysterious comrade and bring them back to the Holy Valley! "
"Yes, Master!"
Huang Yu said. Then she turned around and walked out of the simple wooden hall. She began to gather the elite warriors, preparing to break out of the encirclement of the Snakeman Empire and rescue the 30,000 fugitive slaves and the so-called mysterious comrade-in-arms.
…
Now, the number of slaves under Yang Dingtian's protection was increasing. The number had exceeded fifty thousand!
After General Viper Mo finished setting up the encirclement, he did not even send any scouts.
When the fifty thousand escapees saw that the Naga Empire's slave army did not appear, they immediately felt that the resistance army protecting them was more powerful.
According to the crowd, there were already tens of thousands of elite resistance army protecting them.
As for Yang Dingtian, he wanted to cry but had no tears!
He was only one person, and not tens of thousands of people like in the legends!
Of course, he did not know that Saintess Hai Xin also thought that there were at least a few thousand elites.
In front, General Viper Mo had already gathered 200,000 soldiers and was waiting for the fifty thousand escapees to rush in.
At this time, the fifty thousand escapees were only a hundred miles away from General Viper Mo's army.
"Saintess Hai Xin, disciple Huang Yu, who is she?" Yang Dingtian thought for the last time.
Then, he went alone towards the Viper Demon army of two hundred thousand.
There was no other way. In order to protect the fifty thousand escapees, he could only think of a way to kill Viper Mo and throw the slave army into chaos!
