154: Chapter 154 Conquering the Serpent God Kingdom
Over two thousand giant pythons, as thick as large pipes, advanced in unison, the ground rustling as it was rubbed by their heavy belly scales.
There was no need for Gu Han to give an order.
The Titan Shield-Armored Ant-Men arrayed in the front, organized in groups of twenty, rapidly interlocked their heavy, sturdy armor, instantly forming massive spheres of armor.
The massive spheres of armor began to roll with a boom, causing the entire ground of the Snake-person God's Kingdom to tremble violently.
The level-eight giant pythons appeared extremely tiny in front of these super-giant armor spheres, like earthworms just unearthed, being ruthlessly crushed by the rolling armor spheres.
Some giant pythons attempted to use their powerful bodies to constrict these rolling spheres, but upon coiling around them, they realized their bodies were simply not long enough.
They bit down on the shield armor, only to be caught by the momentum and spun around on the spheres, their scales cracking from the rotational force instead.
The Shield-Armored Ant-Men blocked most of the level-eight giant pythons at the first opportunity, but some still managed to bypass the groups of armor spheres.
Massive snake tails swept across viciously with a whistling sound, sending large swathes of ordinary-sized Ant-men who couldn't dodge in time flying through the air, their bodies exploding mid-air.
Gu Han quickly issued an order for the ordinary-sized Ant-men army to retreat.
The Black-Armored Ant-men took the opportunity to strike, their giant bladed legs slashing wildly, scraping against the thick scales of the giant pythons, sending large sparks and piercing metallic screeches flying in all directions.
Gu Yanxiao's "Blade of Breaking Formation" had already reduced their defense by a full half, but their foundation as level-eight creatures remained; this layer of skin was still ridiculously tough, and a few slashes only created bleeding gashes, unable to decapitate them directly.
Hundreds of giant pythons took advantage of the force of the slashing bladed legs to nimbly wrap around the necks and multiple joints of the Black-Armored Ant-men.
The massive snake bodies tightened frantically, and the giant pythons and Black-Armored Ant-men immediately rolled and grappled together on the ground.
The ordinary-sized Ant-men army retreated rapidly like a black tide; in such a situation of giant creature combat, it was very easy to be killed by mistake.
In the center of the battlefield, the Dragon-Lizard Titans fully demonstrated the terrifying monstrous strength of the Ant-man Race.
Two Dragon-Lizard Titans coordinated tacitly, with one foot firmly stepping on the giant python's frantically thrashing tail, while the other foot forced its millstone-sized snake head into the mud.
The sharp claws on their four arms dug deep beneath the rough snake scales.
Both Titan-level creatures exerted force simultaneously, just like two strong men pulling on a straw rope.
As they both pulled desperately in opposite directions, the giant python's massive body tightened, and a teeth-gritting tearing sound came from the strained flesh, with blood mixed with broken scales spraying out like rain in all directions.
On the other side, the Ant-Fist Titan was like a pile driver, its giant fists pounding out one after another, smashing the head of a level-eight giant python more than ten meters deep into the bedrock.
There were even two Ant-Fist Titans standing on either side, treating a giant python like a punching bag in the middle, both punching it simultaneously.
Shockwaves exploded in the air, and the python in the middle didn't even have time to let out a hiss before its scales shattered and bloody gore splattered out from both ends.
Those low-level Snake-people were stunned.
The high and mighty level-eight elites of their own tribe were currently being pinned to the ground and beaten by a group of super-giant monsters that had emerged from who knows where.
Some Snake-people were frightened out of their wits, dropping their weapons and turning to run. Others turned red-eyed, transforming into pythons several meters long, diving headlong into the retreating army of ordinary Ant-men to engage in a bloody slaughter.
Several Dragon-Lizard Titans pinned down a level-eight giant python, their four arms hooking into the upper and lower jaws that the python had opened wide in agony.
"Roar!"
The Dragon-Lizard Titan let out a roar, the muscle groups on its arms instantly bulging, and its wrists pulled in opposite directions with force.
That level-eight giant python, which possessed extremely tenacious vitality, had its jaw and entire throat forcibly torn into two halves.
Several giant pythons also coordinated with each other, wrapping around isolated Titan Ant-men and constricting them desperately.
The battlefield was in total chaos.
"Run? Where are you running to! The God's Kingdom has been breached! Our home is gone! Where else can you run!"
A blood-covered level-seven Snake-person smashed the head of a low-level deserter with its tail, roaring sternly at its scattered clansmen.
"The nation is broken and the home is destroyed! For the God Lord! For the clansmen! Fight them to the death!"
This stern shout woke the remaining Snake-people up.
The originally scattered formation began to contract, and those Snake-people who were preparing to flee turned around, their vertical pupils filled with a resolute will to die.
They no longer fought individually, but instead swarmed in groups, throwing their lives into the piles of Ant-men.
Facing a desperate situation, these Snake-person believers madly squeezed out their last bits of strength, and for a time, they actually killed and wounded quite a few Ant-men.
Gu Han stood on the head of a Black-Armored Ant-man, holding the antenna with one hand, looking down at this tragic battlefield.
"Surrender and I will spare you."
Gu Han's voice resonated across the entire field.
"Your God has already been captured alive by me."
The gray clouds in the sky, originally filled with smoke, were torn open, and a full-scale holographic projection appeared directly in the sky.
As the image began, a panorama of Gu Han's God's Kingdom appeared, with the lush colors of every place in full view.
The camera zoomed in rapidly, and within a glaring, pale white light, the wailing of the Snake-person Demigod came through with absolute clarity:
"Spare me! I really won't dare to do it again! Whatever you want, I will give you!"
This was a recording Gu Han had prepared in advance; the video had been edited, the scenes jumping frequently, all showing the Snake-person Demigod wailing and begging for mercy.
"Money! I'll give you 30 billion! No, 50 billion! I'll transfer it all to you! You can loot my God's Kingdom as you please!"
Another jump in the video.
"I will hand over all those level-eight elites to you! You can sell them as war slaves; they can be exchanged for piles of credit points!"
"I beg you, I don't want chickens, ah, I don't want grass either! I..."
The voice echoed over the entire God's Kingdom.
All the Snake-people were dumbstruck; even though they couldn't see the figure in the white light, that was indeed the voice of their God.
"It's fake! This is sorcery! He is trying to disrupt our morale!"
The old Snake-person raised its crutch and tried to shout again, but before it could finish, a Dragon-Lizard Titan descended from the sky, its giant foot crushing it and a dozen other Snake-people around it into meat paste simultaneously.
Especially those level-five and level-six ordinary Snake-people, watching the existence they knelt and prayed to every morning and evening now wailing and begging for mercy like a piece of trash.
Then looking at the black, oppressive mass before them, an endless sea of ants that completely obscured the horizon.
More and more low-level Snake-people wailed in despair, while more and more Snake-people rose up to resist.
This battle lasted for ten full hours of high-intensity hand-to-hand combat.
The Ant-man Race possessed not only terrifying strength but also extraordinary endurance, like war machines that never knew fatigue.
Although those level-eight giant pythons had extremely tenacious vitality, under such hand-to-hand combat with almost no time to catch their breath, their stamina was eventually completely exhausted.
Except for a few die-hards who chose to self-destruct on the spot to die for their nation, the remaining thousands of injured elites, as well as millions of ordinary Snake-people, all dropped their weapons, lay on the blood-soaked soil, and chose to surrender.
He glanced at the final battle losses recorded by the smart assistant.
Because they were at the very front and bore the brunt of the most tragic counterattacks from the level-eight giant pythons, the Titan Ant-men lost about a thousand in total. The ordinary-sized Ant-men army sacrificed over two million in this close-quarters strangulation battle.
The fact that they could turn into giant pythons was indeed something he had not anticipated; the losses exceeded his estimates, but it was still acceptable.
Gu Han took out a march card and collected the Titan Ant-men and the prisoners of war.
"Dad, I'll have a few Black-Armored Ant-men take you back first. There's still some cleaning up to do here; I'll come find you later."
Gu Yanxiao waved his hand, "Alright, stay safe."
After sending his father off, Gu Han directed the Ant-men army to spread out completely.
All the corpses of the fallen Ant-men and Snake-people were transported back to the God's Kingdom. These extraordinary remains would all be cast into [Plant Beans to Get Melons], converting them into nutrients for the God's Kingdom.
The army began to move like a swarm of locusts; wherever they passed, not a blade of grass remained.
The divine plants were dug up by the roots, and everything that could be taken was transported back to the God's Kingdom; even the ground was completely overturned, leaving not a single stitch or thread behind.
Gu Han sat on the head of a Black-Armored Ant-man, inspecting this vast Snake-person God's Kingdom along the way.
Besides looting resources, he valued the opponent's city structure and energy circulation layout even more.
He carefully observed the ecological structure of the Snake-person God's Kingdom. The buildings here were mostly domed stone houses, along with structures built from giant snake bones, and the underground drainage System was also extremely unique; every detail highlighted the foundation of a civilization.
"Move all their documents and stone carvings back." Gu Han ordered.
For every God's Kingdom to develop to its current stage, the believer tribe within must have its own unique technology tree, medical skills, or metallurgical civilization.
Architectural blueprints, herbal formulas, and forging techniques—these were all rare treasures that could allow the civilization of the God's Kingdom to learn from each other's strengths and offset weaknesses.
Gu Han really loved studying all knowledge related to God's Kingdoms; any civilization was a crystallization of wisdom, some of which deserved to be respected and should not disappear with war.
It was only that Cyst Demon's God's Kingdom that gathered crowds to inhale toxic gas every day, possessing no useful civilization at all.
