"Don't worry, you can't die. In the oblique corner of the garden corridor, two small spotted snakes swam out from behind a flower bed, looking no different from the snake pets that dotted the palace, but uttering a strange lingua franca: "But the one on the left behind you, next to the umbrella, can arrange for him to die." ”

Before the words fell, the snake man really shook his head and hurriedly retreated, and raised his hand to explode a cloud of white steaming clouds! Several attendants and guards around him couldn't avoid it, and they were burned by the burning clouds that hit all directions like waves, killing and injuring several people in an instant. Fortunately, the Venerable Snake King had a talisman, and instantly opened a 'smart magic ball' to wrap himself and a few attendants around him, narrowly avoiding this blow.

In this mess, the snake man disappeared. The strange little flower snake that had just spoken rose to its feet, and the reverend Magellan, who had turned into a black robe, stood in front of the king: "The snake people outside have already shouted 'Fight for freedom, uphold tradition', and rushed in with weapons to kill your whole family." When I entered, the outermost palace guards had already begun to surrender to an 'Uncle Wang'. ”

"Bastard!!!" The snake king in the smart magic ball angrily opened his fangs and hissed the star red snake letter: "This old immortal guy is here to make trouble again, he should have been killed last time!!" But seeing the black-robed human on the other side, he smiled: "It's not one person who is making trouble." If you had killed them earlier, you wouldn't be where you are today. It's not your fault, it's just that the situation can't be reversed by manpower. Don't tell me, you haven't prepared. ”

"I don't know if it's okay. The Snake King grunted in some shock: "What I do is good for the long-term of the country. Where are the snake people who support me?Why didn't they come out?" Dong Hezi on the other side just shook his head: "What's the use of saying such angry things now? The people who have benefited from you have not yet formed an organized interest group, and only the new interest group can defeat the old interest group." Not even a new interest group has been formed. How can such a scattered group fight over the interest groups entrenched in the middle and upper strata? Besides, it is difficult for the old samurai clique to transform in a short period of time, and this is a historical inertia that is very difficult to reverse. It can only be said that His Majesty was a little anxious and softer. As he spoke, he pointed his staff to the right, "Let's go, their spies and killers have arrived." A flash of lightning at the head of the cane, 'Pong!!', blasted the stealth spy forty paces away.

The Snake King immediately opened the teleportation ring, and just as the ring emitted a hopeful teleportation green light, a sudden 'bang!!' exploded violently!!!, and the huge destructive energy blasted the Snake King away. He also blew off an arm! If it weren't for the other protective spells on him. He's done with it!

When the other snake men acolyze or don't dare to step forward. Dong Hezi hurriedly flew over to cast a healing spell, sealing the broken and bleeding arm and awakening the faint snake king, the weak snake king scolded as soon as he opened his eyes: "%¥#@, Ju~~~ran~~~ secretly exchange ~~~~ my teleportation~~~ ring." Hmph~~Hmph~~I still have a back hand~~~ Take me away!I will~~~ Thank you. ”

Dong Hezi ordered Bonook to carry him up. As he said, he walked into a large ceremonial hall not far away. There are well-groomed frescoes and rows of stout snake-headed fountains. In one of the snakes' mouths, there was something like a jewel hidden inside. The weak Serpent King took the orb. After a few incantations, the authentic teleportation light that emerged from the bead sent the two of them to an island surrounded by the sea ~~~~~! Judging from the rainbow-like sun in the sky, this is some otherworldly plane.

"Huh?" Dong Hezi asked curiously, "Isn't it the plane of the snake god?" The snake king, who had not yet recovered his limbs, grinned miserably: "Do you think the snake gods are still on my side?" Look back. See that peak? We're going there now. "There is indeed a stout 'peak' in the back island, standing abruptly among the dense tropical vegetation and coconut palms, but its color is less stony and more like hardened clay. It's a bit like a half-ruined towering castle.

"There's the Vermi Ant-Man there. The Serpent King explained, "They're still trustworthy, and I've put some things there." He let out a long sigh and said, "I may have today, and now I can use those things to make a comeback!!" But Dong Hezi persuaded: "You still want this? You have some connections, we hired you as a senior consultant, and we will definitely not treat you badly in terms of price~~~~"

"Shut up!!" The snake king was very angry: "How can the hatred of losing the country be said!!Do you know~~~" Halfway through the anger, he suppressed his anger, so as not to anger the masters around him: "You still help me regenerate my arm, you can't go to see the ant king like this." But the other party was not angry, and said with a half-smile while using the advanced 'regeneration technique': "What are you missing?" Did you really own the whole country before? Can you really mobilize the money in the treasury? Can you really mobilize all the troops? Can you really get the ministers and officials to do what they are asked to do? When you send people to check the ghosts below, will the people you send really honestly check on them? Can you really implement your national plan? Have you ever seen the furniture in your house go against your own and bargain?"

The Snake King, who was constantly enraged, choked up - yes, will the furniture bargain with him?

But soon he found an excellent excuse to refute it: "As you say, there is no king in the world who can really have complete control over his country!

Such a stern questioning only made the other party shrug his shoulders: "Unless you are in charge of one or several villages, you can visit every household, and you can directly control everyone below, otherwise you have to divide power." Either feudal or bureaucratic, or feudal and bureaucratic. The vassals of the vassals are not your vassals, and you can't control what the bureaucrats can't control. It's actually out of control. For example, what great king really could control the trade and merchants of his country, and why did the powerful kings always restrict commerce and merchants?"

The Snake King's arm has been regenerated by the sparkling spell, and the love has eased a little, think about it carefully. Indeed, no king can really control all the people and things in the country, even if there are one or two, it is short-lived, and he has paid the price of losing the country or being scolded as a tyrant for the ages.

"Therefore, no matter how powerful a king is, he can only have a part of the social resources, such as his own land, his industry, and the taxes he can control. Other resources are divided among the various forces. As a king, he must use these resources to maintain and press a 'lever pulley structure' to leverage other social resources to serve his own goals. For example, rectification, such as mane hanging, such as public opinion, and the most common army. Once these 'lever pulley structures' fail, or their own resources such as land, industry, and controllable tax revenues collapse. And he collapsed. Since any one king can only use one part of his resources to 'leverage' another part of his resources. So in essence, he was just a leader or a persecutor, never an 'owner'. If you never have it, how can you lose it?"

"You're so long-winded. The Serpent King didn't want to talk about it anymore: "Like according to your words." The old doctrine that has been passed down for thousands of years is?" The other party helped him to walk towards the giant peak-like ant 'castle': "It's originally a nonsense to fool people. It's like 'whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world'. That is to be said to the people at the bottom, to fool them! It is the 'lever pulley structure' of public opinion and ideology. You've been king for so long, and you haven't seen through this trick?"

The Serpent King's anger has come up again. The pain of losing the country is so light that this magic stick says that it is unbearable: "In the wolf pack, the wolf king should own one qiē, and in the deer pack, the leading stag automatically owns the entire deer pack." This is a truth that has existed since the dawn of heaven and earth, how can it be erased by your clever words?!"

The other party just pouted from the scoundrel: "It's just an extensive management model, and it won't work if it is used in large groups or groups that require complex cooperation." There are a lot of herd animals that don't need to be managed this way. For example, there are some forest ants~~~ yo, are those Fumi ant people in front of them also forest ants?"

The Snake King realized that the problem was strict - those Fumi Ant-People did not have a king!!They had a 'committee' composed of seven to a dozen people at the top, and there were many 'committees' at the bottom, but in fact they were not strictly hierarchical, and many of the lowest-level Ant-Men could have frequent contact with the Ant-Men of the Supreme Council without the slightest barrier. The so-called 'Ant-Man Castle' or something, in fact, is just a 'breeding tool', and even some 'Ant-Man Castle' will borrow the Ant King and Queen Ant like other 'Ant-Man Castles' when the Ant King and Queen die in the event of an Ant Queen!

I didn't pay much attention to it before, but now if I go there~~~ I will definitely be laughed at by this god!

Just as he was struggling, the silent bodyguard Bonuk next to the god stick spoke: "There is a lot of movement in the distance, it seems that something very big and heavy is coming! Is it a tsunami? Hey, your place is not safe anymore!!"

The Snake King and Dong Hezi held their breath before they faintly heard some faint voices, and the Snake King immediately shouted: "It's a flesh-loving and fleshy soft mud monster! Hurry up!!You must hide in the fortress of the Fumi Ant-Man before that thing arrives!!" Dong Hezi pulled them to their feet, and said, "Don't make a fuss, even if it is a giant soft mud monster, there is a way to deal with it." Besides, they're not fast. ”

As they were talking, they flew into the air and saw a large 'wave'-like thing on the sea in the distance, which was rushing towards the island at an alarming speed! Seeing this, even the snake king shouted: "See? It is already here! Hurry up! If it catches up, it will be over! This thing specializes in meat, and even the slightest smell of meat can attract it from a distance of more than ten miles! It regularly roams the islands and eats everything that has meat on the island! Whether it is a giant beast or an insect! Only the fortress of the Fmmy Antmen can withstand it for a while. ”

"Are you sure it's not a tsunami?" Bonouk felt that the large thing in the sea was too big, as if several majestic castles sunk in the sea were moving rapidly! ”

The Serpent King hurriedly said, "No! That thing will smell our flesh and summon flying monsters to attack us, and I suffered a loss last time, and I was almost eaten by it!

Soon they flew above the vast fortified castle of the Fermi Ant-Men, and saw the Ant-Men pull out their shiny magic javelins and shiny staffs, ready to attack them. Then the Serpent King took out a magic rune and flashed it at the ant-men below, and the ant-men put away their weapons and instructed them to land in a circular clearing at the gate.

Soon, several Ant-Men in armor~~~ Yes, Ant-Man did have special metal armor on his body, and he came over surrounded by a leader dressed as a mage or warlock. Fortunately, it can speak a common language, and it quickly connects with the snake king. When I heard the Serpent King say, "There is a carnoid ooze monster coming." Ant-Man farted in a hurry.

Fortunately, this 'fart' doesn't stink, and the human form of Dong Hezi can't smell it at all, only the snake king and Bonouk with a keen sense of smell can 'enjoy' it. This fart is the 'roar' of the ant-people, floating with the wind, the surrounding ant-people are panicking, and some people ant-people run to the clay sentry to release 'wolf smoke', emitting a strong smell that can be smelled by Donghezi, and quickly spread to the surroundings and the entire Ant-Man fortress.

When the surrounding ants cheered and set up defenses, they had been led into the huge castle, although it was also a special clay building, but the passage was quite neat, the upper and lower walls were like human buildings, but the steps were too shallow, and they were not suitable for walking down.

There are actually some glowing fungi planted in the passage, not ordinary black slimy anthills. Some of the halls also have layers of deep 'squares' on the thick walls, and resting Ant-Man is coming out of them ready to fight. There are even 'soldier ants' who are bigger than the giants, with their big cracked jagged jaws menacingly, holding a large round shield and a man-long magic sword and walking towards the upper level.

If it were in the Overworld, this kind of guy could easily cut off the head of a sub-giant warrior with one jaw, and the armor on his body plus the insect armor on his body was enough for them to become a battle-breaking warrior! But here they also looked small and nervous, they were sent to guard the entrances of the upper and lower floors, and Dong Hezi and his party were also taken to a hall on the upper floor instead of the heavily defended lower level.

The upper and lower walls here are rough like a farmhouse's mud house, but this 'soil' is unusually strong, several times harder than bricks. After a while, there were also a number of stout worker ants pushing wheelbarrows filled with mud-like things from here to and fro. Ant-Man, who accompanied him, also apologized: "This is the meeting room, but now the situation is alarming, and I can only go through the aisle and the stacking yard." When the emergency is over, ask the elders to come and meet with a few others. ”

Dong Hezi asked curiously: "What are they going to do?" The other party was very nervous, and even the complex mouthparts were moving, making the accent a little unstable: "I want to go ~~block the ~~ door, that hobby~~~ The flesh is extremely ferocious, the copper door and iron windows are blocked~~~ I can't live, as long as there is a little gap, it will be drilled in, and all the gaps must be pasted, especially the top vent~~~ If it is drilled into a part, it will be a big trouble." ”

Bonook was also curious: "What about your magic, we sense that you have a lot of magic here, use magic to deal with it!" but the other party shook his head: "It can mess with our spells and make our spells messy." Especially when it covers the entire city, it's hard to say whether the magic array in the city can function normally. ”
