"In this swamp, you have no opponent but Hydra! But, just now, you failed, defeated by a traitor to Atlas, by a group of monkeys jumping up and down!"

Kuruma's roar was audible outside the tent.

It had been six days since Kuruma led his troops into the swamp, and with the help of local guides and vanguards, they easily spotted the trail of the giant monkey tribe. What he didn't expect was that these monkeys were unusually difficult to deal with!

Instead of engaging him head-on, the giant monkey adopted the strategy of luring the enemy deeper, and then broke it into pieces, harassing and attacking the enemy's stretched line of troops in all directions.

Giant monkeys form groups of three or five, specializing in scouts and scattered small troops, each raid lasts no more than ten minutes, sweeping away opponents like a whirlwind, and then disappearing into the vast forests and boundless swamps again.

The endless harassment made Kuruma's men miserable. The large troops could not catch up, the small troops could not beat them, and after entering the swamp for six days, they hardly ate a single meal or slept a peaceful night's sleep. There was an evil fire in everyone's heart.

Yesterday evening, when the scout reported that he had discovered the monkey's den, Kuruma was overjoyed and ordered his men to ignore the monkey's harassment, and all the troops marched in unison to the monkey's nest, only to be ambushed in the forest, and if it had not been for the timely arrival of Sipitotek's legion, the vanguard would have been almost completely annihilated.

It was an unprecedented defeat for Kuruma, with more than 200 killed and more than 300 wounded - those abominable monkeys are outrageously capable of fighting alone!

The biggest headache is that that damn Atlas traitor Yupanki actually got involved with the monkeys!

Kuruma came to lead two groups of men, one was the Atlas Priesthood under his direct command, which was his most loyal and reliable force, from which he selected the elite and personally led the team, and the second was the Sipitotek Legion, one of the four Atlas legions that had recently taken the initiative to move closer to him.

The military side is not dealing with the priestly group, but the situation is stronger than the people. A few months ago, the military upstart Cheberkeley took the initiative to ask His Majesty the Emperor to take the post of director of the construction of the Colossus of the Sun God, which caused a lot of shock, and the monolithic military began to have a gap, and then, the Sipitotek Legion, which had long been in charge of the security of the sacrifice, began to send people to contact Kuruma to secretly discuss the status and belonging of the future legion, and reached an agreement on many aspects, and the relationship between the two sides heated up sharply.

As Kuruma's position became more and more solid, he was worried when news came from the Far South in the barren land that the prince had taken refuge in the jungle in the form of a giant monkey. However, what made him even more restless was that a newly formed country was actually challenging Atlas - Tenotirán!

Compared with the Atlas, which could easily mobilize more than 100,000 regular troops, Tenotiran was not worth mentioning, and it was said that there were less than 5,000 regular troops. But the small nation exuded a ferocity and a furious aura throughout it, and its thirst for land and its population was beyond the reach of even the swamp crocodiles, and in less than half a year its territory had expanded sixfold to the north to the south bank of the Thundering River, and the tribes that had joined it were said to have reached more than one hundred and eighty.

If the ambitious Tenotiran uses the nonsense of the prince turning into a giant monkey to make trouble, will the dissatisfied guys within Atlas, especially the old things in the military, do they make small moves behind their backs - that's for sure!

Therefore, the southern expedition is imperative, on the one hand, to kill all the giant monkeys and completely cut off the source of rumors, and on the other hand, to test the combat effectiveness of Tenotiran. Of course, since the Sipitotek Legion is willing to take the relationship further, let's help the southern expedition.

However, Kuruma never expected that the powerful Atlas Priesthood Regiment, coupled with the elite troops of the regular army, would be defeated miserably by a group of monkeys and a traitor Yupanki!

The two generals and the deputy priests of the six priesthoods looked at each other, and their eyes made eye contact for a long time, and no one dared to come forward to be this substitute ghost. It wasn't until the bruises on Kuruma's head burst out and he was about to erupt that a legion commander cautiously said, "Priest, it's not that we don't do our best, it's that their tactics are very special. ”

Kuruma stared at him for a long time, and a word came out of his teeth: "Say." ”

"They—may I use the word, these monkeys are as intelligent as we are, and we are more than half of the defeat we are guilty of—they are very good at ambushing, and they move in the jungle as naturally as fish in water, and if they are in a good position, we are confident that we can destroy them all with a single charge. ”

Kuruma said gloomily: "I thought that the regular army of the Atlas couldn't even beat a group of monkeys - it's really not a matter of strength?"

"It's not. ”

Go on. ”

"The second is Yupanki, this guy is experienced in a hundred battles, and knows the characteristics, equipment, tactics, and quality of soldiers of each legion inside out - but here's a problem, how can a dignified Atlas hero give up his status to get involved with a group of monkeys?"

Kuruma stared at him for a long time and said coldly: "He did not stand the test of the sun god and fell. ”

The legion commander said helplessly: "I have no intention of questioning your authority, but the following gossip is flying all over the sky......

Kuruma roared: "Bullet pressure! I can't even control the mouths of soldiers, what are you officers eating! Anyone who spreads similar remarks will be planted with evil seeds in his heart, kill, kill!"

Not only the two legion commanders, but even the six deputy chief priests secretly complained. Those who can join the expedition are elites, and it is not a sentence or two of "the will of the sun god" that can fool the past; now that the battle situation is unfavorable, and because of petty and indiscriminate killing, should this soldier be brought with him?

After Kuruma roared, he felt that he was a little out of shape, and coughed twice: "That Iron Raven of Turançova is the embodiment of the devil! Yupanki was tempted when he fought him, and took the evil rumors as the truth, so he resolutely embarked on a dangerous journey, and the deeper he went into the jungle, the more he was polluted by the demons, and now he has completely become a servant of the demons! Well, this explanation will suffice!"

A group of subordinates looked at each other, and one of the deputy priests couldn't help but say, "However, we are also going deep into the jungle now, if we say that, will everyone be worried about their own fall?

Kuruma was so angry that he almost vomited blood: "Are you all fools? This is for you, what do you say to the people below, and do you want me to teach me a word? If personal bravery can solve all problems, then what use do you want! In the future, I don't want to hear similar reasons again!"

When it comes to this, whoever is the top is a fool. Therefore, everyone unanimously said that the priest is wise and powerful, and in the future, we will be indignant and strong, and we will not give Xiaoxiao a chance to take advantage of it.

"Very well, the more ferocious the monkey resistance, the closer we are to their lair, and I know very well that they have a reason not to retreat!
