This scene was, without a doubt, extremely strange and shocking.
Many would never forget this scene for the rest of their lives.
Over twenty thousand people lined up and walked towards the giant pit of death, drowning themselves alive.
The people at the back clearly saw the people in front of them drown, but they still jumped in wave after wave.
These people didn't even struggle after falling into the water, allowing themselves to suffocate.
Their minds were controlled by the Mirror Demon King, and they didn't feel any pain. On the contrary, it was as if they were in heaven. Thus, even if they suffocated in the water, they didn't feel any pain at all. It was only when death approached that they regained a moment of clarity.
That brief moment of clarity allowed them to struggle a little before they died completely.
"Plop, plop, plop …"
Group after group of tribal soldiers fell into the giant pit of death.
The brothers of the Flame Demon Tribe were already prepared to fight and die, but what awaited them was such a breathtaking and terrifying scene.
They couldn't be more familiar with this giant pit.
Large amounts of soil were needed to build walls, pave roads, and even build houses.
Over a thousand people had dug for almost two months to dig out this giant pit that was nearly a kilometer in width.
Then there was a rainstorm, and the giant pit was filled with water taller than a person, so they could only abandon the giant pit.
In the end, Lan Ling ordered for a scaffold to be built in the giant pit, and then huge branches were used to cover the entire pit.
No one knew why this was done. Many even thought that the chief wanted a clean water source, or a huge artificial lake.
Who would've thought that it was to create a death trap?
… …
Constantine kept shouting at the top of his lungs, sending wave after wave of soldiers into the Ghost Realm in an attempt to awaken the soldiers who were walking towards the giant pit of death.
However, no matter how many people went in, not only did they not awaken the soldiers who were walking towards the death trap, but they were also walking towards the death trap themselves.
"Come back, come back …" Constantine screamed at the top of his lungs.
"Go wake them up, go …" He whipped the tribal warriors beside him, ordering them to enter the Ghost Realm to wake up the soldiers of the two tribes.
However, none of the personal guards of the two chiefs dared to enter.
Because none of those who entered could return, all of them walking into the death trap.
Just like that, Constantine and Alphonso watched helplessly as their soldiers walked towards the trap and death!
Constantine's heart wasn't just bleeding, it was completely torn apart. He couldn't even feel the pain, only the coldness and numbness.
He had been tricked once again!
How many times has it been? Was it the third or fourth time?
The first time, he was blinded by Lan Ling's gold coins, which forced him to start a war with the Akara tribe ahead of schedule. This caused Lan Ling to lead the foreign army to rebel successfully.
The second time, he fell for Lan Ling's diversionary tactic, causing Lan Ling to lead the foreign army to successfully enter the Ghost Domain World and establish the Flame Devil Tribe.
The third time, he fell for Lan Ling's provocation and sent all the soldiers to the Ghost Realm, to hell!
He clearly knew that Lan Ling was full of tricks and cunning, but he still fell for it again and again, falling into his trap again and again!
This time, it was truly a heart-wrenching pain!
A total of fourteen thousand soldiers were all buried by him!
This was almost all the military strength of the Chimera tribe. Currently, the entire tribe only had a little more than three thousand second-line soldiers.
These fourteen thousand people were all Constantine's capital, and now they were all gone.
The Chimera tribe was really going to hold funerals for every family!
Constantine's lofty aspirations were really popping like a soap bubble.
He was really going to lose everything.
He just stared blankly at everything, his entire body and nerves completely numb.
After a long while, he felt waves of pain in his heart.
"Puff puff puff …"
Large mouthfuls of black blood spurted out.
The world spun, and the Chimera tribe's chief, Constantine, fainted and fell to the ground.
… …
The Akara tribe's chief, Alphonso, was not much better. He also flew into a rage, desperately driving the warriors around him into the Ghost Realm to awaken the soldiers walking towards the death trap.
But the result was the same. None of the soldiers that entered were able to return, and they all walked towards death.
In the end, Alphonso lost his mind, and rode his horse into the Ghost Realm to awaken his tribe's army.
However, he was pulled back by the female shaman, Yoon Hi-hee.
"Godfather, don't go in, you'll die if you go in!" Yoon Hi-hee used her mental power to awaken Alphonso.
Alphonso's eye sockets split open, and a stream of blood flowed out from the corner of his eye.
Fourteen thousand soldiers, all of them were buried!
He and Constantine had originally conspired to destroy the Wildhorse tribe, and had instantly doubled their tribe's size. How proud was he?
He was about to become the most powerful tribe in the entire Silver Alliance. As long as he completely swallowed the Wildhorse tribe, he would be able to produce thirty thousand soldiers, and within three years, he would be able to sweep the Chimera tribe.
Lan Ling's rebellion with the foreign army was originally an internal strife of the Chimera tribe, and it had nothing to do with Alphonso.
It was because of his greed for a hundred thousand gold coins that he had been used by Lan Ling, and was drawn into this huge trap. Not only had he inexplicably fought with Constantine, but he had also been dragged by Constantine to encircle and annihilate Lan Ling's Flame Demon Tribe.
Of course, he hadn't been used by Constantine. He had been indignant that he had been used by Lan Ling, and had wanted to exterminate him. Moreover, Constantine's daughter, Ninian, had become the Young Barbarian King's concubine. Therefore, he had wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to curry favor with Constantine, and jointly dominate the entire Silver Alliance.
As a result, the fourteen thousand soldiers had been completely wiped out.
He had less than five thousand soldiers on hand now, and he also had to guard the Akara and Chimera tribes. So, how could he resist those tigers and wolves in the surroundings?
The suicides in the Ghost Realm were still going on at this time.
Twenty-five thousand people were too many. They were densely packed like ants.
Groups of soldiers were marching in orderly steps, and laughing as they walked towards the death trap.
Alphonso looked at this scene, and said in a hoarse voice, "Lan Ling isn't a human. He's a ghost, an evildoer, a …"
He couldn't find any words to describe it.
The female Shaman Yoon Hi-hee also had the same feeling.
[This Lan Ling isn't a human. He's a devil, a monster!]
[What kind of person can create one miracle after another?]
[He really isn't a human. He's an evildoer. This reminded her of a person in the human kingdom. He was also an evildoer who had created countless miracles.
…
The Chief of the Wildhorse Tribe, Duo Duo, also had ice-cold limbs.
He opened his eyes wide, and was dumbstruck as he looked at everything.
He was also the winner of this war. However, he still felt cold all over his body, and his hair stood on end.
He looked at Lan Ling with a gaze full of fear.
[He's truly unpredictable!]
[The most important thing is that Lan Ling had planned everything in front of him a month ago.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have made a bet with me.]
He recalled what Lan Ling had said to him. [I'm not worried about this war because I'm sure to win. What I'm worried about is the next war. The entire Silver Alliance's hundred thousand soldiers!]
[Lan Ling won this war as expected!]
[And … there were no casualties!]
[The expected tragic battle did not happen. Instead, the entire war ended in this strange, mysterious, breathtaking, and terrifying scene.]
[Lan Ling had single-handedly destroyed Constantine's thirty thousand soldiers.]
After a long while, the Chief of the Wildhorse Tribe, Duo Duo, said, "Isn't this … against the heavens?"
[Using sorcery] to send twenty to thirty thousand people into a death trap seemed to be against the heavens.
But …
Lan Ling had already killed tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions.
He had long since injured the heavens.
Of course, he had also been badly injured by the vengeance. He had lost everything, even his life.
"The heavens have already taken their revenge on me," Lan Ling said calmly. "After I die, my fate is no longer in the hands of the heavens."
…
Constantine's wife, Gou Li, had been watching all this in a daze.
She watched as her Chimera Tribe's soldiers died one by one.
She trembled from the depths of her heart. Coldness, fear, and the feeling of death filled her entire body.
For a long while, she really could not feel any warmth in her body.
There was only one thought in her mind: [The Chimera Tribe is finished. Constantine is finished!]
…
This show of death lasted for nearly half an hour.
More than twenty thousand people stepped into the death trap one after another, drowning themselves alive.
It was all over.
More than twenty thousand corpses had completely buried the giant pit.
Both sides, both camps, were dead silent!
The female shaman, Yoon Hi-hee, said to Alphonso, "Father, let's go. It's time to go back!"
Alphonso was still staring blankly at the giant pit.
The female shaman, Yoon Hi-hee, said, "Father, we lost more than ten thousand soldiers. The most important thing now is to go back and suppress the possible rebellion and stabilize our two tribes. Otherwise, we will end up like Duo Duo, with nothing left!"
Her voice was once again infused with spiritual power.
Alphonso seemed to have woken up from a dream. He said, "Yes, return to the tribe and maintain order!"
Alphonso did not even look at Constantine. He was about to leave with more than a thousand tribal warriors.
Most of the reason why he had ended up like this was because of Constantine.
The female shaman, Yoon Hi-hee, said, "Father, you must join hands with Chief Constantine. Don't forget that his daughter is the concubine of the Young Barbarian King. You will share glory and disgrace together! "
Alphonso thought for a moment.
That's right.
He only had five thousand soldiers on hand. Moreover, he had to defend two tribes. He couldn't defend a territory of three hundred miles. How could he resist the ferocious tribes?
The strong always preyed on the weak. This was a golden opportunity to annex and divide Alphonso's territory. So, how could the surrounding tribes let it go?
Constantine was even more miserable. He only had three thousand soldiers left. But, his daughter was married to the Young Barbarian King. So, no one dared to have any ideas about Constantine. Alphonso wanted to protect his territory. So, he must firmly hold onto Constantine's thigh.
Therefore, he shouted, "Chimera Tribe's warriors, why are you still here? Why aren't you carrying your Chief to the carriage and returning to the tribe? I'll bring up the rear!"
The supreme leader of the Chimera Tribe had become Yang Gu.
He hastily replied after hearing Alphonso's words, "Yes!"
Then, Alphonso led the three thousand soldiers of the two tribes. They escorted the unconscious Constantine, and fled in a sorry state.
The first battle of the Flame Demon Tribe had ended. They had obtained a complete victory!
… …
Lan Ling stood on top of the city wall!
He calmly looked at the thousand soldiers of the Flame Demon Tribe below.
"This battle is over!"
"Our Flame Demon Tribe hasn't been destroyed in its infancy!"
"Our tribe will enter a golden period of rapid expansion!"
"We've won, but there's no celebration or bonfire party. That's because I know that you don't want to celebrate. I don't want to either! "
"I even know that you think that this victory has nothing to do with you. You think that it's all because of the mysterious abilities of me and the Mirror Demon King. So, you even feel humiliated! "
The faces of all the soldiers of the Flame Demon Tribe trembled when they heard these words.
Lan Ling's words struck a chord in their hearts. They had won the battle, and they had the joy of surviving. However, they were shrouded in a more complicated emotion. They didn't know what it was exactly.
The chief, Lan Ling, explained everything clearly.
That's right, it's a feeling of humiliation.
The Flame Demon Tribe's victory has nothing to do with me. It's all thanks to the chief alone.
"It's good that you can think like this. I'm very happy!" Lan Ling shouted, "Courage comes from knowing humiliation!"
At this moment, it started to rain!
The raindrops fell on everyone's faces and bodies.
However, all the soldiers of the Flame Demon Tribe didn't move.
"Then let me tell you. We won't have anything to rely on in the next battle. There's no mysterious death trap, no spiritual energy shield. The only thing we can rely on is the swords in your hands!"
"I've fought this battle for you. The next battle will depend on you!"
"How many enemies will there be in the next battle? Eighty thousand, a hundred thousand, maybe even more! "
"Brothers, never forget that death is always less than three days away from us! Our struggle, our battle, has only just begun! "
"I give the order here. If we don't destroy the Chimera Tribe and the Akara Tribe within three months, and our territory doesn't expand by thirty times, then there's no need for our Flame Demon Tribe to exist anymore!"
Lan Ling's last sentence completely ignited the hearts of the thousand-odd people present.
Within three months, destroy the Chimera Tribe, destroy the Akara Tribe, expand by thirty times!
This was a new goal. This was a miraculous goal. This was a goal that was close to impossible to accomplish.
"I ask, can this goal be accomplished?" Lan Ling said coldly.
"Yes!" The thousand-odd Flame Demon Tribe brothers roared.
Lan Ling said, "Good, then I'll remember it! If we don't accomplish this goal within three months, the Flame Demon Tribe will officially disband! "
Duo Duo's eyelids trembled.
Lan Ling was too crazy. He actually said such resolute words. This kind of behavior didn't seem like a qualified leader at all. It was so irrational.
But for some reason, he also felt his blood boil. He couldn't help but want to fight together, kill together, and worship together.
"Long live the chief, long live, long live!"
More than a thousand people knelt down neatly.
Looking at Lan Ling on top of the city wall, their gazes were fanatical, but also full of awe!
Everyone knelt down, leaving only the remaining hundred-odd people of the Wildhorse Tribe standing there alone.
Duo Duo's face trembled slightly. He remembered his bet with Lan Ling.
In the Savage World, words must be kept. Oaths must be fulfilled. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to raise their heads for the rest of their lives.
Gritting his teeth, Duo Duo knelt down on both knees and shouted, "From today onwards, there will be no more Wildhorse Tribe. I, Duo Duo, will lead my people to be completely loyal to Chief Lan Ling. Please accept me!"
"Long live the chief, long live, long live!"
