Chapter 490 If you don’t eat, you will be hungry. If you are too hungry, you will die.

The roaring rain swirled black clouds, and on the high slopes of the indigo hills, the rain and mist fell hazily on the walls of the red copper fortress.

The farmland outside the fortress has now been flooded, forming small natural puddles, and countless pairs of legs in shorts and straw sandals are paddling in the puddles.

Most of them had dark skin, tattoos all over their bodies and faces, and only wore wooden armor made of vines as they climbed toward the top of the city wall.

From time to time, there would be sudden bursts of frost rays and dark green acid balls among the crowd attacking the city. The most conspicuous thing was the bright yellow lightning that crossed the top of the city.

Although it was not as terrifying as Jeanna's zigzag electric python, it was enough to make several black-armored knights fall to their knees with screams.

The sweeping rainstorm hit the armor of the knights on the city wall, and everyone could hear the crisp sound of clanging.

They could no longer tell whether it was the sound of weapons or raindrops.

When he swung the sword in his hand, the blood and rain made it almost impossible to swing the sword.

Although the breathing technique gives the knights extraordinary endurance and stamina, people will get hungry if they don't eat.

If you are too hungry, you will die.

After the Battle of Montenegro, they had been without food for a whole month.

Niedsal took away a large number of garrisons and food from the surrounding small fortresses, and all of them were wiped out in the Battle of Black Mountain.

High-ranking nobles and commanders were either killed on the battlefield or imprisoned by the Alcor family.

Despite being leaderless and having lost all their main forces, they have still been able to hold on until now.

I don’t know whether to say that they are too elite, or that the Black Snake Bay people who attacked the city are too weak?
Three miles away from the Red Copper Fortress is the Black Snake Bay people’s massive camp.

In the makeshift conical thatched huts, which are padded with wooden boards and straw mats, the Black Snake Bay soldiers usually sleep on the straw mats and wooden boards.

The thatched hut was so small that it couldn't accommodate them all.

But the people of Black Snake Bay, who were used to humid weather, didn't care at all and exposed everything below the ankles outside the tent.

For them, there is no one in Black Snake Bay who doesn't sleep on the mud.

Walking through the camp, you can see a corridor made up of black feet.

At the end of the corridor, there is a temporary wooden house built with fir wood, and there is even a special kang in the room.

On the log floor, the heat dispelled the damp and cold air. A little girl with white hair tied in two ponytails sat at the desk.

She looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old, with round eyes, traces of baby fat on her cheeks, and fair skin with a rosy glow.

Sitting on the high chair, her lotus-root-like legs dangled unconsciously.

She held a feather pen between her slender white fingers, and raised her head with a pouty mouth as if she was thinking about something.

After thinking for a long time, she sighed like an adult.

Picking up the pipe beside her, the little girl pinched a few pinches of the finest tobacco leaves from the Griffin Horn and put them into the copper pipe, then skillfully lit it with the flame from the kang.

The little girl with white hair and twin ponytails put her cherry-pink lips close to the pipe and took a deep puff, holding it in her lungs for a second or two before exhaling it out from her mouth and nose.

Putting down her pipe and holding up the letter in her hand, she cleared her throat and spoke in a hoarse mezzo-soprano voice.

"I hope this letter finds you well, Holy Grand Pope Horn Garrar."

"I have understood your position. You have made outstanding contributions in fighting against the church, which is absolutely admirable."

"I have to thank you for kicking the balls of those damn bishops. I have to say that you have accomplished something that we have been unable to achieve for many years."

"I sincerely admire you for this."

“You said that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. I agree with that. I think the RA and the Salvation Army can be friends, and good friends at that.”

"I don't want to lie, but we are all secretive parties."

"You are not the first person to use religion to cover up your true nature as a wizard, but you are the first to succeed."

"I think those lunatics from the Priory of the Scales should come and see this."

"See what the real world is like, instead of hiding in the sewers all day and being immersed in their crazy world and doing those disgusting things."

"I don't know why you would contact them, but I will do my best to do so."

"As for what you said about the magic-loving fungus, the alchemy industry, and the clockwork industry, I am very interested. Maybe we can have a more in-depth discussion after I arrive."

"I have been informed of your invitation, and I know you well enough through Master Paslick and Carrie (I am sorry, this is not her real name, but she refuses to let me tell you)."

"In response to your invitation to form an alliance, I want to say that we all need each other." "You need wizards to help you complete your alchemical industrialization, and we wizards also long for a land where we can walk in the light."

"We have a common enemy and complementary resources. I have no reason to reject you."

"As stated in your letter, the five parties, including the Brago Monastery in Cassia County, the Magdi Chamber of Commerce in Lower River County, and the Kush Knights in Longsand County where you are, will meet at the same time at Jeanne Castle."

"You already know the origins of our Joan Party, but I need to reiterate to you once again that Pope Joan is not a lewd witch, but a pure saint."

"The so-called impression that Ruo An is a lewd witch is completely slander by the church!"

"Those so-called rebellious bishops were all moved by John's sincerity and kindness. The Vatican at that time was full of good people."

"We acknowledge that Joan may have had an emotional entanglement with one or two bishops, and yes, one bishop committed suicide, but that was a normal relationship, not seduction at all."

"Anyway, as you said, the church has been taken over by the devil, so it has become like this."

“We must be able to acknowledge Joan’s innocence before we can have deeper cooperation.”

"The six secret parties headed by Ruo'an Party, including the Flame Rose Society, the White Mountain Hermitage, the Baldhead Society, the Monks of Pain, and the Dragon Language Scholars Alliance will all join the alliance."

"Attached to the letter are the spell specializations of six secret parties. These six secret parties will send three witches to accompany me."

"We will go to Chateau Jeanne d'Arc to meet you as soon as possible. You don't need to pick us up. We can come here on our own."

"If you can really defeat the church, we sincerely hope to form a confederation with you, Black Snake Bay and Thousand River Valley, because we have a common enemy."

"Please forgive my reverie, but we have never been so close to victory."

"If you fail to defeat Prince Kongdai, please do not be too afraid. The gate of Black Snake Bay is always open to you."

"Sheltering the enemies of the church, especially powerful enemies, is what the people of Black Snake Bay love to do the most. We will shelter you because it causes pain to the church."

“Whenever they are in pain, we are happy from the bottom of our hearts.”

"From the leader of the Joan Party, Lulule Procoby."

After rereading the letter several times and confirming that there were no problems, Lulos rewrote it and then called a black-skinned wizard.

"The letter has been written. Send it to Château Jeanne d'Arc."

The dark-skinned wizard nodded silently, put the letter into a waterproof bag, and prepared to leave.

"Wait." Lulos stopped the messenger, "Has there been any letter from Meliati?"

"No." The messenger shook his head succinctly.

"This kid..." Lulos pouted in dissatisfaction, pulled down the hair ties on both sides, and tied a bun at the back of her head again.

Standing in front of the cabin, looking at the black feet on both sides of the road, Lulosi shouted in dissatisfaction: "You bunch of syphilitic dogs with swine dermatitis, put your legs away, I'm going to kill someone."

The people of Black Snake Bay who were originally lying casually on the ground quickly withdrew their feet. Under the thatched hut, pairs of fearful eyes stared at the little man.

They seemed to be looking down, but also seemed to be looking up.

In the heavy rain, Lulos' body began to swell.

Tufts of black hair stretched out from the soft, white skin, and the hard muscles instantly burst through the fragile linen clothes.

Two meters, three meters, four meters... Amid the sound of bones and muscles rubbing against each other, a huge shadow loomed over everyone's head.

A gorilla about four meters tall stood up, or rather a gorilla-like human appeared in everyone's sight.

With its split mouth and sharp teeth, people would believe it even if they said that this monster swallowed the little girl alive.

She moved her shoulders and two streams of hot steam blew out of Lulos' mouth and nose.

Unlike the knights, most flesh-oriented witches are unable to maintain their human form when using their supernatural powers.

She bent down, scanned the surroundings with her scarlet eyes, and then picked up a two-handed axe and a two-handed warhammer beside the wooden house.

"Roar--"

The roar dispersed the rain and reached the walls of the Red Copper Fortress. The knights on the wall changed their expressions drastically and shouted loudly to the monks.

The earth trembled as a black-haired giant holding a two-handed weapon in one hand charged madly towards the city wall.

"Gather your forces, take up your shields, priest! priest!"
