The Bizarre Adventure of the Warhammer Elves

Chapter 94 The Distressed Emperor

On the desolate plains, yellow dead grass and dirty mud pits full of toads can be seen everywhere, all of which illustrate the harm caused by the death of the Harvest Goddess!
thump~ thump~ thump~
The green python hidden in the field slowly raised its head, and when it noticed the sound of horseshoes getting closer, it couldn't help but secretly delighted.

Since a few days ago, a voice full of benevolence has always sounded in its heart. Although it can't understand what the other party is saying, it can understand the meaning:
"Go kill, go devour, try to be the best child!"

During this period of time, it has been lying in ambush on this trail, constantly devouring passers-by and messengers, which has expanded its physique to an unbelievable length of nearly ten meters!

The snake goddess gave it the ability to digest and grow quickly, but at the same time it also made its stomach never satisfied.

After sticking out its tongue slightly to sense the surrounding airflow, the green python hiding in the grass swooped forward, ready to strangle the target with its powerful death entanglement and sharp fangs!

"This is the seventh head. It's hard to imagine that the Snake Cult will become so rampant!"

After slowly pulling out the mace from the shattered green python, the knight in white cross plate shook off the blood on the hammer head with some disgust, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

As a knight of the Knights of the Glorious Cross, he has been fulfilling the experiment he set up, using his medical knowledge to help those poor passers-by who need help for free.

But now, the entire empire has fallen into unprecedented turmoil, catching everyone by surprise!
Whether it is the Snake Worship Cult who is looting everywhere, or the D'Shar Legion that came to take advantage of the fire, they are forcing the leader of the empire, Emperor Marius, to issue a new order:
Abandon the fortresses that are being fought on the front line, and use all the military power to suppress rebellions and famines!
After pinning the mace around his waist again, the knight looked at the blood on the ground around him and the bulging belly of the green python, and couldn't help praying in his heart:
"Goddess of Harvest, if you still love your people and your pious children, please expel these horrible filth as soon as possible!"

This loyal knight of the empire didn't know that the Harvest Goddess he was talking about had long since become the most primitive power of faith and became a part of the Misty Goddess.

————The capital of Bacchus Empire, Siyuan City

On the streets full of people in the past, only a few passers-by with suspicious appearances were hurrying on their way, and the indifferent wheel marks on the ground were telling the misery of the city.

The people didn't know what happened. When they saw the withered plants and the poisonous snakes over the wall, they all returned home and blocked the doors and windows.

The gate of the once magnificent palace was overgrown with weeds at this time, and some legionnaires stared nervously at the ground, worried that the poisonous snakes that might suddenly swoop out of the grass would bite them.

Inside the palace, it was a completely different scene:
"Come on! Have another drink!"

"Hahaha, look at the reprimand letter written by Governor Kairos. He actually thinks that the fall of Emperor Lingang is our responsibility!"

"Hey—the stone statue of Goddess Damia shed blood and tears for some reason, I really don't know what the future of the empire should be..."

"Never mind that! Come and see the gems I looted from a D'Shar village, it's even brighter than the stars in the sky!"

……

A grand banquet was going on, and dozens of gathered generals and governors were all toasting and drinking, as if they didn't care about the people who were already in trouble outside.

The untouchables will die when they die, as long as it doesn't affect the wine that can be delivered to the city on time tomorrow, then they don't bother to care!
To them, the recent infestation of poisonous snakes and turmoil is nothing more than an invasion of the Snake Cult army, and they can easily crush them as long as they gather their legions to attack.

As for those scholars who persuaded them to sacrifice to the Harvest Goddess, they must have been bewitched by the Snake Worship Cult, so they uttered such wild words!

Instead of spending a lot of money and financial resources to pray to the illusory goddess, it is better to use the money to recruit more soldiers and form a new legion.

The oil and water in it can be much more profitable than holding sacrifices!

Looking at the generals below, Emperor Marius sitting on the main seat also took a sip from his wine glass, and closed his eyes depressedly looking at the various battle reports in his hand.

The war with the Dexia Principality has lasted for more than half a year, and the border territories of both sides have long been in ruins, unable to provide stable taxation at all.

And within the empire, small groups of Snake Cult troops are constantly harassing those villagers, and even some security forces are not their opponents;

Dilingang was even occupied by an army of elves that came out of nowhere, and he didn't even want to read the battle reports from the front line!
Huge snakes spewing flames, trebuchets that can make thunder, and even human slaves who surrender to the elves, what is it!

He has only been fighting abroad for a few years. How come the country has become a paradise full of vitality, bursting with everything, and filled with wonderful creatures? !
Looking at these generals who had no sense of crisis and were completely addicted to pleasure, and recalling how they were when they first arrived in Pande, Emperor Marius couldn't help but sigh.

"I really miss those days... We almost broke through Sarleon City and completely unified Pendor..."

At that time, he was still a young general called 'General Osa'. Under his command, the expeditionary force of the Guacax Empire continued to gallop across the Pendor Continent, conquering cities and fortresses one after another.

However, as the old emperor was assassinated by the Snake Cult, the entire Guabax Empire fell into a bloody civil war, and was finally defeated one by one by the Snake Cult.

After losing the aid from his home country, General Osa was already guessed that the Snake Cult would not let him go, an expeditionary force that was isolated overseas, so he did nothing but build the New Bacchus Empire!
General Osa, who was crowned emperor, called himself "Emperor Marius", carried out a series of reforms to his army, and finally successfully led the generals to gain a foothold in the southern part of Pendor!

After recalling the glory of the past, Emperor Marius looked at these generals who were drunk with beer bellies, stepped down from the stage, and reprimanded them:

"My old friends, when did we become so cowardly? If it were us, we should be discussing how to regain Emperor Lingang and expel the Snake Worship Cult!"
