Thanks to the reward of the book friends of the supreme destiny, the new book "The Legend of the Immortals of Time and Space of the Six Dynasties" has been uploaded, if you are interested, you can take a look, leave a collection, and recommend tickets......

Even though there were swarms of frogs bouncing around in the streets, no one dared to hurt them. Even the guards of the royal capital had to transport a large amount of water every day to feed these things.

And the dead frogs, after all of them were transported out of the city, they found a place to burn and bury them.

No one understood why the pharaoh gave such an order, and the frog meat tasted quite good. What's more, if there are too many of these things, it is easy to make people's scalp tingle.

However, Pharaoh's orders were harsh. Understand and obey, and do not understand.

During the long period of time that Lasis ruled the kingdom, the pharaoh gave many orders that were confusing at first. But in hindsight, all of them proved that the pharaoh's unpredictable prophet was far-sighted.

In short, although these frogs jumped out of the river, many died. But there were no mass deaths.

It is again the kingdom of God hanging high in the sky, falling like meteors.

Among the rotting frogs that were supposed to die in large numbers, countless maggots and flies would be born, and then a great plague would be brought to the kingdom. makes the corpses all over the place, and every family wears filial piety.

However, because of the rain (precaution) of Lasis. Sanitation and disinfection were carried out, and frog carcasses were incinerated.

So while the hot weather brought an epidemic of plague. But it is not as rampant as imagined!

The prophesied plague of frogs and maggots. There is also a plague of flies, so that the plague of humans and animals has been passed over safely and soundly.

The idol of the goddess Neve is a goddess with a frog's head. The frog plague symbolizes the fall of this goddess.

Then maggots, flies. The plague of livestock, and the plague of man. It symbolizes the fall of the god of the wild, the god of flies, the god of cattle, and the god of Imt.

These are the powerful gods among the Nine Pillars of Heavenly Gods, and they are in charge of the most important priesthood.

Lassis stood on the balcony and looked in the direction of the earthsea. Somewhat melancholy!

Although several great gods have fallen, as long as they are dealt with well, the impact on the human world is not too great. But what happened next. It's different.

In this divine war, even a great god like Ossaith would not want to let the Nine Pillars Heavenly God fall so easily.

The most crucial is the war with the Olympus gods enshrined in many city-states near the Earthsea......

Lasis looked in the direction of the sea of earth, and I am afraid that this time the two sides will also lose the situation.

Not only did a large number of the Nine Pillars of Heavenly God fall, but Olympus also suffered a great loss in strength and faced the end of being usurped by his descendants.

And this qiē will only cheapen the rise of a new god in vain. In the end, it even profited, continued to develop, and even became a dominant family. Destroy the other Nine Pillars and the Olympus Gods!

This is the supreme power of the Great Light God!

Things have developed to the present, and Lasis no longer has the slightest doubt about the process of the evolution of world history.

The most important thing now is to see if you can grasp the opportunity. Fish in troubled waters and profit from it!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but let out a long sigh!

"Pharaoh. The coalition forces of the Earth Sea have attacked. They have organized a huge fleet, which will be coming soon!"

A messenger spoke in a trembling voice. came to Lassis and spoke. It can be seen that the alliance of the earth and sea is very strong this time. So much so that they panicked like this!

"Don't panic! What are you afraid of, how many enemy coalition forces there are, how many warships there are in total. Which city-states joined the coalition?"

Before the battle began, Lacis had already guessed this day. So he just asked unhurriedly.

It is easy to stabilize people's hearts!

So, look at the appearance of Lacis. The envoy quickly calmed down, and said quickly, "Almost all of their city-states have joined this coalition. The city-states of Yana, Chris, Spartin, and so on formed an army of almost 100,000 men. There are almost 300 warships, and they are about to cross the earth and sea and come to our land!"

"So, is it basically all the city-states around Earthsea that participated in this war? In other words, if they are destroyed, then the entire Earthsea will be ours......

It is the most powerful city-state of Earthsea, Yana, at its peak, it was only about 40,000 households, with a population of about 200,000.

According to the limit, the number of soldiers is only one ding per household, but it is about 40,000. This is already forcing the rhythm of rebellion......

Other large and small city-states only contributed tens of thousands, or even thousands, of troops, which is already remarkable!

Therefore, as long as the 100,000 earth-sea alliance forces are wiped out, there will be no way back. It is enough for the entire earth sea to lose any resistance and be conquered by the kingdom!

"But......" The messenger opened his mouth wide, but for a long time he could not speak. In the end, after thinking about it for a long time, I had to nod. Or did the pharaoh say this sentence to the point!

So the messenger held back for a long time, and at last he just said, "But we must destroy them!"

"Then destroy them!" said Pharaoh, with a wave of his hand, as if he had only killed an inconsequential fly.

The messenger was speechless, though it seemed to be. However, the entire kingdom is worried about internal and external troubles, and it is really not so easy to defeat this unprecedented enemy.

The Earth-Sea Alliance has more than 100,000 warriors, and the kingdom is able to mobilize more than 100,000 troops. The combined strength of both sides is probably more than 200,000, and this is already an epic and unprecedented battle!

This will completely decide the fate of both civilizations!

At this time, Lasis showed a shallow smile. After enduring this world for so long, it is finally time for the poor dagger to see it.

The Earth-Sea Alliance is coming a little slower than expected. After all, it's a coalition army, and there is too much coordination work to do!

And the relationship between these earth-sea city-states is not so close. In fact. There are also many contradictions between them, and they are very different from each other. I don't know how many wars have been fought.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the kingdom has grown too fast in recent years. The battle for hegemony in maritime trade, Yan zhòng has affected the countries of the earth and sea, and with the Olympus gods behind it, it is impossible to have such an expedition!

Therefore, there have been a lot of frictions and contradictions. The coalition forces were long overdue.

At this time, the troops of the kingdom had already made a preparation.

Lacis's policy was to clear the wilderness and lure the enemy deeper. Exchange space for time. Drag it out until the enemy can't take it anymore.

After all, the Earth-Sea Alliance is an expedition of laborers. In the places where the city-states of the Earth Sea are located, agriculture is not well developed. Every year, large quantities of grain were imported from the kingdom.

Therefore, the logistical problems of these coalition forces will definitely not last long.

And the kingdom has the Nilo River, which floods every year, bringing abundant silt, silting up the fields, which is the best fertilizer. It is enough for the kingdom to have a great harvest of food for the kingdom. It is also able to export in large quantities.

However, Lasis had been brewing this war for a long time. Over the years, disasters have been used as an excuse to shrink the output of grain exports. Stockpiled large quantities of grain in the kingdom.

Not only enough to survive disasters and famines. It is even enough to cope with this cruel war that is bound to come.

At this time, this qiē arrangement is all at this time. It worked.

This year, there was a drought and a catastrophe. The water level in the Nilo River is decreasing. After the so-called blood and water and other disasters, the poor harvest was already a foregone conclusion.

Lasis left the order. Let the people of the lower reaches of the Nilo be moved to the vicinity of the royal capital of Thebes, where the kingdom would open barns for grain.

So, after a lot of hard work, the earth-sea alliance army went ashore and did not encounter the imaginary enemy. Nor was he able to loot enough to compensate for his hard work, and he was driven slowly upstream.

At this time, the coalition forces suddenly discovered that the arid waters of the Nilo River were simply not enough for their battleships to pass.

As a result, the sad battleship had no choice but to stay at sea. Then, about 30,000 or so infantry slaughtered Thebes, a few hundred miles upstream.

At this time, the kingdom's army was in full swing, and it was even recuperating.

And near the Earthsea, the coalition forces, accustomed to the humid and warm weather, suddenly came to the desert area, and the hardships they suffered were enough to make them complain.

However, this qiē is only the beginning. They didn't expect that something like a nightmare was still waiting for them.

When night fell, the coalition forces had just set up camp and rested. In such an era, organizing an expedition across the sea is not an ordinary difficulty.

Crossing the sea, coupled with the arduous trek. This qiē had already made them tired to death.

In the middle of the night, the sound of horses' hooves shook almost the entire ground. Countless horses burst out of the night and entered the camp of the Earth-Sea Alliance.

The rugged mountains near the Earthsea are just a place where the city-states are located. There were no such large-scale cavalry at all, and they rarely interacted with them.

In fact, in this day and age. Cavalry is more like a toy, or something that some dirty nomadic tribe gets to bluff people.

No stirrups, no heavy armor. But the light bow of the horse had little effect on the armor of the heavy infantry of the coalition forces. That is, for some light infantry, it can also play a harassing role.

Therefore, it was absolutely not expected that the enemies of the kingdom would carry out a large-scale raid with cavalry.

By the time they heard the movement and reacted, it was already too late. The cavalry had already entered the camp.

These were the cavalry of the nomadic tribes who had vassalized the kingdom, and at this time they had fought into the enemy's positions. Immediately threw these coalition forces into chaos.

But the combat effectiveness of these coalition forces is really strong, and the army composed of the citizens of these city-states is not comparable to the equipment and morale of ordinary armies.

They quickly organized and repelled the attacks of these vassal cavalry. But a large number of tents and baggage have been burned.

Between the lingering smoke, the sky has turned white.

Spurred on by these victories, the coalition set out again and struck at Thebes. Prepare to take down the vulnerable enemies in one fell swoop.

However, when they came to Thebes, they were almost desperate.

This capital city was far more magnificent and strong than they had imagined. It is even more than the famous Yana Castle, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Outside the city, two simple satellite cities were built. Each of them was stationed with a large army, which was in the shape of a horn, defending the whole of Thebes.

"God, there are at least 50,000 enemies!"

"With such a tall and strong wall, there is simply no way to deal with this enemy!"

The soldiers of the coalition army watched this scene, many of them were extremely experienced, and they did not know how many wars they had participated in. Just a cursory glance, I lost confidence.

Originally, they were tired. However, he was proud and relieved of the huge coalition forces mobilized by all the city-states of the sea this time, thinking that victory would be easy!

As soon as their army arrives, the enemy will surely be crushed.

However, the qiē in front of me gave these guys who felt very good a blow!

The commander of the coalition forces looked bad, hurriedly organized the troops to stop, and then prepared to start camping and resting.

There was a faint uneasiness in his heart, this war was going to be very difficult to fight. Even if the gods prophesied victory in this war, it would be the same!

At this moment, not only in the human world, but also in the divine realm. The war is still raging!

Before the coalition army could set up camp, the kingdom's army had already been dispatched to force the coalition army to go to war.

Between the two sides, there was only a small fight. There were not much losses between the two sides, but the coalition forces were not able to set up camp smoothly and could not light a fire until late at night to cook.

And before dawn, the kingdom's army began to provoke again.

The main force of the kingdom gathered more than 70,000 at least in Thebes. Divided into three shares, each of which can force the coalition forces to cope with it with all their might, and dare not slack off.

However, the kingdom's army has always fought at home. Deepening the exhaustion of the coalition forces.

This made the coalition forces unbearable, and even launched a decisive battle.

However, the kingdom's army, with its back to the city wall and the absolute superiority of its troops, was able to cope with it, although its combat effectiveness was inferior. So that the coalition forces did not achieve much success!

This was only a few days of stalemate, and bad news came from the rear of the coalition forces.

The fleet, which remained at the mouth of the Nilo River, was raided by cavalry in the middle of the night, as a result of which the unalert fleet suffered heavy losses. Dozens were set on fire, and even the paddlers were killed in the thousands.

Most of the warships of the coalition fleet were paddle boats. Because the area of the sea is not very large, and most of the places are calm.

Therefore, most of the ships sailing in the earth and sea are not sailboats, but oars. (To be continued......) R1292
