Chapter 392: March

If the Ash Lake army were to hit the ground in Riptide City, the Black Rock army would stab the tired enemy in the back.

If the Ash Lake army captures Riptide City in one fell swoop, the Blackstone army will try to grab their own interests as much as possible while the two sides are engaged in street battles in the city.

Win or lose, the result is so wonderful. Rather than taking revenge on their rivals, the higher-ups of Blackstone City are more willing to take advantage of the fire to rob, after all, there are no eternal enemies in the world, only eternal interests.

Driven by the same interests, Blackstone City and Ash Lake will not die if they cooperate for once, even if this new city full of despicable fugitives and lazy outcasts has irreconcilable contradictions with the surrounding city-states, it is not impossible to bridge the gap under the same interests.

As a result, behind the army pouring out of the Ash Lake, more than half of the samurai and nobles in Blackstone City, as well as members of the royal family with extremely noble blood, all followed faintly under the premise of maintaining a certain safe distance.

The "Goddess of Spring Water, Jonira" found the army of Black Rock City for the first time, and after a quick glance, she didn't find a single instrument, so she simply ignored it.

"These mortals with bad minds have the ability to have chicken intestines and small stomachs. I don't understand the overall strategic situation, but I am a conspiracy and trickery, and everyone is proficient and proficient. I am not afraid that our army will slash this group of scavenging hyenas and jackals under the horse with a backhand. ”

Blackrock's intentions were readable, but their actions soon drew the following from neighboring city-states, as Riptide City was known for its abundance in the rainforest, and there were many people looking for it.

After hearing the news, the nobles of Wild Boar City, White Cloud City, and Pearl City personally led the family warrior regiment and servant mercenaries, guarding each other and approaching, following behind the army of Ash Lake, all wanting to share the profits in this battle, or join forces to exterminate these homeless people and fugitive slaves.

Such a large-scale field march quickly attracted the attention of the higher-ups of Riptide City, and the army of Ash Lake was completely coming at them, in addition to not guessing the reason, the decision-making level was more likely to mobilize the army in the city as soon as possible.

This simple and clear truth, no matter how stupid and short-sighted the nobles are, know very well in their hearts that they have no way to retreat, and they have no intention of suing for peace before the war starts.

After all, this is the city-state protected by the river goddess Ichchel, and most of the royal family members have blood close to the river flowing in their bodies, and even the maddening blood of the god of war Huizilopochtli.

The former can make the royal family members who inherit the blood of the goddess recover as soon as possible after being injured by touching the river water. As for the madness, once it is stimulated enough to go berserk, the royal family will become immensely powerful and fight irrationally, and will not stop until the madness is exhausted.

There were three royal daughters of this generation, except for the eldest daughter, who entered the temple and became a shrine maiden second only to the high priest, who would not easily appear in front of the people, and the other two were neatly dressed and set foot on the city in person.

As for the prince with mad blood, there is only one at present, and after pampering a large number of women, he has left enough offspring, but it is not clear who inherited the bloodline of the god of war, Hyzilopochtli.

At this time, the prince was also standing on the city wall, completely devoid of bloodthirsty and brutal temperament, and looked like an ordinary aristocratic young man, who could easily talk about it.

However, as soon as someone walked close to him, they would see dense bloodshot streaks in the Mad Prince's eyes, and even a faint red glow in the middle of his pupils.

The clever servants all hid far away, for fear of being torn apart by this prince who seemed to be unprosperous, had a turbulent undercurrent in essence, and was in a state of exploding at any time.

The crest on his head was unusually gorgeous, with more than a hundred blood-stained feathers, including the blue blood of the swamp crocodile and the black venom of the rotting spider.

Cutting off these monsters is not for the people, but to show his bravery, which shows that the temper of this prince of Rapids is really unscrupulous and selfish.

The mad blood prince stepped on the city walls, of course, not to protect the people, but to prepare to fight, after all, there were too few enemies who dared to attack Riptide City, and there were only a handful of them.

So much so that when the enemy really appeared, the mad blood prince couldn't wait to go to the front line, and even prepared to gather private troops to take the lead in the field battle outside the city.

A faint smile cracked into his face as he watched the approaching smoke and dust, the largest of which was naturally the Ash Lake army that dared to attack Riptide, made up of despicable fugitive slaves and shameless bankrupt civilians.

However, not far behind this puff of smoke, there were three or four small puffs of smoke, which seemed to be relatively small in number, but their hostility was more concentrated on the army of Ash Lake than on rushing towards Riptide.

The mad blood prince's brain was not stupid, he first looked at it a few times, and then secretly thought about it in his heart, and couldn't help but laugh. His laughter is like a night owl who accidentally catches a vole, completely proud and arrogant from the heart, arrogant in not taking his opponent in his eyes.

At the same time, the river goddess Ichchel stayed in the secret realm, reducing the useless consumption of divine power by sleeping, and instead used this part of the saved divine power to secretly control more rivers and further expand her influence.

No one can find the specific location of the secret realm, it is like a river, in a state of constant change, otherwise, the river goddess Ichichel would have been hit by the god of war Huizilopochtli and forcibly snatched into his own god lineage, instead of inheriting the descendants of the bloodline, sleeping with the goddess Ichichel, raising a great city builder, and even establishing Riptide City, the most famous city-state in the rainforest area of the southern continent.

When the Ash Lake army entered Riptide City's sphere of influence (30 miles), the farmland and livestock area of Pingchuan, the truth beneath the smoke and dust was exposed. With their uniform pace, their energetic military appearance, and their determined eyes, their opponent, the most famous mad-blood prince in Riptide City, couldn't help but gasp.

"God of War! Not long ago, these people were all outcasts and fugitive slaves, and it has only been a long time before they have become elite warriors who have experienced a hundred battles. Could it be that there really is a god standing behind the lake of ashes?"

The army that had integrated into the heroic spirit of the Han Empire had no scruples about passing through cornfields, through a network of dense ditches, and even a livestock area where large livestock lived, and quickly arrived in front of Riptide City.

The First Priest Temothy walked to the front of the army of the Ash Lake, looked up at the nobles and warriors on the city wall, raised his right foot and slammed it to the ground, and there was an invisible warm wind, lifting his body and slowly flying upward.

This scene fell in the eyes of many people, especially the guards on the walls of Riptide City and the members of the royal family such as the Mad Blood Prince, who couldn't help but be speechless.

The mad blood prince's brain became unusually clear, like an injection of spirituality, and like a fleeting spark of inspiration, which was a flash of wisdom and a manifestation of mature sanity.

"A priest who is good at levitation, there must be a god behind him, who should be in control of the wind realm. The rumors turned out to be true, and the fourth generation of God King Quitzerquatto's god-like winged serpent has returned. The resurrection of the gods, the rise of the ashes after the burning of the world, is simply incredible!"

The voice of the speaker has changed from hoarse and green to extremely calm, giving people a sense of steadfastness and confidence. Others may not feel it, but the two princesses of the royal family have a unique feeling because they inherit the blood of the river goddess Ischel.

Then they discovered that the eldest son of the king of Riptide City, at least when he had just spoken, was definitely not a mortal, but a certain god descended into him, and saw through his eyes what he wanted to see, through which his mouth spoke information that was extremely important to everyone.

The two of them glanced at each other, and couldn't help but think in their hearts: "I'm afraid it's the god of war Huizilopochtli who has descended! This time, I'm afraid it will get my wish!"
