Chapter 216: Shadra, the Queen of Poisonous Spiders
Feather Forge struggled to burst out with a burst of flames, burning the spider silk that trapped him, and flapping his wings with all his might, quickly moving away from the spider that Marri had transformed, as for the other trapped Feather Humans, he couldn't do anything.
There are no reinforcements on your side, but the enemy's reinforcements are coming. What's more, if the fight continues, the feathers may not even have the strength to fly away.
Looking at the compatriots who were still desperately struggling in the cobwebs on the ground, and looking at the feathered warriors in the air, this last bit of strength would never be able to rescue the trapped compatriots, but would only put himself on board.
"Retreat! Retreat! Feather Forge finally gritted his teeth and gave the order to retreat.
————
"Shadra! Get ready to enjoy your offerings! Marri, who had regained his human form, sneered and held one hand in a false grip, drawing a green band of light from a feathered man bound in a cobweb. The green band of light contained an abundance of life energy, and as he inhaled the life energy into his body, Marri showed a look of enjoyment.
The feather man immediately screamed and struggled, and with the loss of life energy, he quickly dried up and aged at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. It didn't take long for it to become a dried corpse, completely lifeless.
After sucking three feathered people in a row, Marri felt that all the consumption of the battle just now had been replenished. She enjoyed the frightened gazes of the other captured feathers, and said coldly, "Now the sacrifice is enough, prepare for the sacrifice ceremony!" Let Shadra come down and lead us to the destruction of humanity! ”
Although it is better to sacrifice on the three Mayan pyramid-shaped altars in the city of Shadralo, the sacrificial ritual cannot be carried out properly due to the intermittent human bombardment there. Anyway, the feather people left behind more than seven hundred warriors, among which there were still four or five hundred alive, even if a lot of sacrifices would be wasted if sacrifices were made elsewhere, the number of sacrifices was still more than enough.
The troll warriors who came back to the aid disarmed the feathered people trapped in the cobwebs one by one, tied them up, and strung them aside.
Some of the other trolls, the elderly, the sick, and the disabled, dealt with the deaths and injuries of their own people, while most were busy arranging the ritual scenes. These trolls have no mercy for their own casualties, and instead value the ritual of sacrificing to their primordial deity, the Spider Queen Shadra.

Through the images taken by the drone, Xiang Ningxuan could clearly see those busy trolls. Although the sacrificial habits of trolls were completely different from those of humans, Xiang Ningxuan still recognized that they were preparing to sacrifice.
If he wanted, he could even bring in the artillery and bomb him. Just a few rounds of calibration with the drone to aim at them. However, Xiang Ningxuan didn't want to startle the snake yet.
"Old Chu, do they all think that we don't dare to attack?" Xiang Ningxuan smiled at Chu Xiong Tiandao beside him.
"This shows that our deception is effective. We were so cowardly before, and they naturally thought so. "Chu Xiong Heavenly Dao.
Beside the two of them, the elite regiment was already assembled and ready to attack. In addition, 1,500 fighters drawn from other combat regiments are being assembled.
Of course, if you attack now, the trolls can still choose to flee for their lives. Only after the sacrificial ceremony began to attack, they did not dare to interrupt the ceremony and escape, so they could only stay tough. This is the chance to get rid of these trolls once and for all.
The rituals of the trolls are rough and primitive, full of bloody cruelty, and of course, the object of worship of these deadwood trolls is a spider, which adds to this. As long as there were enough sacrifices, the preparation of the ritual was relatively simple, the trolls took out the blood of the feathered people who had already died, drew a ghostly voodoo figure on the ground, and then decorated it with the head and flesh, and it was ready in less than half an hour.
Wearing a voodoo mask and painted in strange shapes, the witch doctor dances an eerie dance full of primitive atmosphere, humming a rough beat in his mouth.
High Priest Marri stood solemnly in the center of a voodoo figure drawn with the blood of a feathered man, his hands raised in the air, and began to guide the ritual.
Eight strong troll warriors each pulled a feathered captive and came to Marri's side, ignoring the captive's struggles and wails, and slashed him with swords in hand.
The blood that gushed out did not spill to the ground, but gathered into her hands under Marri's guidance, and then slowly spilled into the clearing in front of her.
As the blood spilled, a faint red shadow gradually formed in front of Marri.
The corpse of the Feathered Man was torn to pieces by thousands of spiders. The spiders busily threw the minced flesh into the red phantom.
Soon, the troll warriors brought in eight more captives and slaughtered them again without mercy, while Marri repeated the action, spilling blood in front of him.
After doing this a few times, the phantom in front of her gradually solidified, and it could already be seen that it was an extremely huge spider figure, which was twice as large as Shen Rui's dragon knight form. The huge butt is stamped with a red and black pattern in the shape of a skull. Eight hideous long legs covered with stiff fluff, huge fangs with a faint purple-black glow, and cold and bloodthirsty bright red spider eyes. This image is Shadra, the queen of poisonous spiders.
As a large number of Feathered captives were slaughtered, their blood, **, and souls became the nourishment of Shadra, for her to descend into this world from an illusory primordial god to flesh and blood. Shadra's image grew more and more solid, and its greed for flesh and blood prompted it to push Marri to offer more sacrifices.
"Boom!" Several shells landed a little farther away, blowing up and injuring several trees.
Kronska frowned at where the shells landed, and couldn't help but wonder. "Aren't humans bombarding Shadralo? How did you get here? ”
Before he could figure it out, a bloodied troll warrior stumbled over, he still had a lot of terrifying wounds behind him, if it was a human, let alone running over, it would probably have hung up a long time ago. The troll warrior panted, "Oh no, an elite human force has come over!" ”
At this time, the high-ranking priest Marri and the other priests were busy with the sacrificial ceremony, and they didn't bother with other things at all. The only one who can call the shots is Klonska. Although he didn't know the saying that "the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it", since the human beings took the initiative to kill them, the only countermeasure was to lead the troops to scare them back.
Klonska didn't talk nonsense, and with a wave of his big slap, he summoned all the main forces of the trolls to assemble.
During this time, human artillery fire has been bombarding the place where the ritual was held. Even if Klonska owes his IQ, he knows that the situation is not right, and the human race is here for the sacrificial ritual.
In a short time, the army of trolls was assembled, and Kronska left five hundred troll warriors behind to ensure that the ritual was carried out properly. He personally led more than a thousand warriors in the direction of the humans.
