Chapter 44: The Sand Python Legion
The volume of these stone pillars is very huge, and there are at least three or four people hugging each other, and the patterns on them are exquisitely modeled and delicate, and from the perspective of shape, it seems to be the court architectural style of ancient times. Although it is a little mottled and broken, you can still vaguely discern the magnificence of the past! It is impossible to determine the actual height of these stone pillars, but based on their thickness, they should be at least 20 meters.
"Why are these pillars carved into the stone walls?" Sang Nan was puzzled: "Where are the people here now?" "In this place, thousands of meters above the ground, and uninhabited, it is incomprehensible to suddenly find signs of the existence of human civilization!
In order to find out about this matter, Sang Nan called Gong Yehan and Runye and others here, and made several simple 15-meter-high ladders out of tree branches to clean up the plants covering the surface of the stone wall. Over time, most of this stone wall slowly came to light......
"This, this is the totem pole of the Grass Empire!" Sosa, who had been staring at those patterns, suddenly trembled: "Could it be that what is recorded in the legend is true?" Oh, my God! ”
"Grasse Empire?" Sannan asked curiously, Mo Fei Sosa knew the origin of these stone pillars?
"Yes, it's the Grass Empire! That's what I saw on top secret texts inside the temple! Sosa looked very excited, and swore that "I was hunted down by the temple because I peeked at these texts!" ”
Seeing everyone looking at him with surprise and curiosity, Sosa sorted out his thoughts before he spoke: "The texts say that the Grass Empire was founded by the mysterious and powerful ancient race of the Wiki people. Living in a desolate and harsh natural environment, they have developed a brave and fierce character, they are natural warriors, fearless, adventurous, and death-defying, wandering, hunting, and fighting are their daily way of life. Later, its prominent leader, Thrall I, continued to make military expeditions to other countries, eventually establishing a unified Grasse dynasty that controlled nearly half of the continent. ”
"What do you think this pattern looks like?" Sosa asked, pointing to the pattern on the pillar in front of him.
"Like a snake?" Mei Donn stared at the pattern and asked, "But how can a snake have wings?" What does this have to do with the Grasse Empire? ”
"Because the totem of the Wikipedia is the sand python!" Sosa said in the affirmative.
"Sand python?" The crowd looked suspicious, and they had never heard of such a creature.
"That's right! Legend has it that this sand python skin is more than stone and iron, with wings on its back, and its strength is infinite, which is an extremely terrifying existence. The people of the ancient Vikki tribe believe that this sand python is a messenger sent by the gods to protect them, and it is the messenger of the divine will, so they worship it extremely much, and every year a grand sacrifice is held in the capital of Andes, praying that the python god can protect them on the battlefield and defeat all enemies...... "Sannan saw that Sosa was very clear about the affairs of the Glass Empire, and it seemed that he had peeked in the temple before**, no wonder those monks hated him to the bone and regarded him as a traitor.
"A flying anaconda?" Everyone felt a little unbelievable when they heard Sosa's description, but thinking of what they saw in the cave didn't subvert their previous perceptions?
"The Grasse Empire expanded externally, relying on strong force and fearless of death, it is said that they once had a powerful army with a strength of 50,000 and made all opponents fearful, called the Sand Python Legion!" Sosa took the trouble to introduce the legend of Grasse in an impassioned tone.
"This sand python army is known for its excellent defense, amazing endurance, and good at grappling, and the armies of many countries fought against them, and in the end they were entangled to death because of their exhaustion!"
"They are like a giant python on hunting, always slowly strangling their prey with their amazing defense and brute strength."
"Wasn't there anyone who could compete with it then?" Li Yuanru's expression was a little questioning.
"I don't know, because it's not written in the books!" Sosa said in a deep voice: "But the only exception is when Grass invaded the Great Yan Empire in the east, he fought with the Great Yan Legion, which was known as the strongest attack on the continent at that time.
In order to destroy this legion, a coalition of 1 million men from 16 nations surrounded it in the Turan Heights, and the Temple sent a legion of 5,000 monks, the Legion of Light, to fight.
This battle lasted for three days and three nights, the two sides fought in the dark, and the entire Turan Heights was almost stained red with blood, but the combat effectiveness of this sand python army was indeed terrifying, and the 1 million coalition troops were almost killed and wounded, and even the supreme commander of the coalition forces at that time, Romanov, was killed on the battlefield!
Because this battle was so tragic that the blood flowed like a river, it was also called 'Scarlet Turan' by later generations! ”
"What is the end of this sand python army?" Li Yuanru was thrilled when he heard it, and he couldn't help asking.
"In the end, after the sand python army fought to more than 3,000 people, it broke through!" Sosa said in a quiet tone.
"What!" Everyone couldn't help but gasp, this, this is too against the sky. Break through in the bag of 1 million troops? Even Sang Nan couldn't help but shake his heart when he heard this result.
"After this war, the countries were no longer able to stop the expansion trend of Grass, they lost the courage to continue to resist, and they accepted the ministers one after another, and established the dominance of the Glass dynasty on the continent in one fell swoop!"
Thinking of the tragic scene at that time, everyone was a little distracted, and the atmosphere was very silent......
After a long time, Sang Nan suddenly asked faintly, "What about the losses of the Templar Light Legion?" ”
Sosa said abruptly, "The Legion of Light is the most powerful legion in the Temple, and its members are all eighth-level monks, but in the end, there are only more than 200 people left!" ”
"Eighth-level strength?" Li Yuanru's expression froze, and he almost exclaimed.
The average strength of the Li battalion is now level five, and it is a commander-level warrior in the army, if it can reach the scale of 3,000 people in the future, he thinks it will be a very terrifying force! Now that he heard about the undefeated record of the Sand Python Legion, and felt the huge gap between the two sides, his mood suddenly became a little depressed.
"When did this Battle of Turan take place? Is it real! Sang Nan had some doubts in his heart at this time, he had been familiar with hundreds of treatises and ancient books on history since he was a child, and the amount of reading was very amazing, it was said that with such a glorious existence as the Glass Empire, there would definitely be a key mention in the history books, but he had not seen any relevant written records.
"The time recorded in the texts should be 30,000 years ago." Sosa's answer was a little hesitant, with a hint of obvious doubt in his eyes, apparently not even he was sure whether it was true or not. Because according to the records of the current history books, the earliest human beings only appeared 15,000 years ago, and the formation time of human civilization is less than 10,000 years. But 30,000 years ago, the Moya Continent was still a wilderness, where did these countries, temples, and various formed legions come from?
But that's exactly what the temple books say! How else to explain the serpentine patterns on these stone walls? Sosa still had a glimmer of illusion.
"Do you know where these books come from?" Sang Nan asked suddenly.
