Farming in a Parallel World and Becoming a God-Chapter 1139 - 646 The Conspiracy of the Serpent People_2

Fortunately for them, the forms of the Serpent People are not fixed; they can shed their skin and change much like snakes. However, this transformation cannot be achieved by ordinary means; it necessitates reliance on the Divine Power of the Serpent God for assistance.

"Let’s begin," said Anachet, the Abhorrent Serpent People, without mincing words, briskly issuing the order. This is the advantage of discarding human emotions; they are not swayed by vain pride and desire for power to do meaningless things. They only need to issue orders, and the Serpent People below will carry them out, keeping everything as efficient as possible. Without feelings of joy or Fear, naturally, they won’t entertain thoughts of laziness.

The Serpent People moved as swiftly as when they had arrived, leading their serpentine Servants in all directions toward Tun Marsh. In no time at all, they were gone without a trace, including the native snakes of the Serpent Marsh, which were also taken by the Serpent People. Even the Pureblood Serpent People, the lowest among the Serpent People, reigned supreme over the non-sapient snakes, and all serpents willingly submitted to their enslavement and domination.

Clearly, these Serpent People were not completely obedient to the Lizard Queen’s commands; they did not restrict their movements within Serpent Marsh. They remained active throughout the entire Tun Marsh. Whether Cursed Serpent People or Abhorrent Serpent People, all belonged to shape-shifting creatures. They could freely transform between their humanoid and serpent forms. Moreover, various species of pythons, being common in the swamp, made it very difficult to detect their presence.

Compared to direct confrontation, the Serpent People preferred to lurk in the shadows, quietly injecting their venom into the veins of their enemies. This was the approach they took towards the Lizard Court.

Their methods paralleled the Lizard Queen’s, injecting the blood of the Serpent People into the veins of the Blackscaled Lizardfolk, birthing a new kind of Serpent People—the Lizard Serpent People.

In terms of status, these Lizard Serpent People were equal to the Pureblood Serpent People. Their bodies did not wholly transform into serpents; instead, only certain features such as scales leaned more serpent-like, eyes had vertical snake pupils, and tails were more snake-like.

Being members of the scaled race, these serpentine traits blended inconspicuously among the Blackscaled Lizardfolk, especially since the Blackscaled Lizardfolk’s bloodline already included the Black Dragon Bloodline, which is inherently unstable. The emergence of individuals with distinct appearances from other tribes was not exceptional.

The Serpent People exploited the half-breeds’ identification with the Serpent People to thoroughly infiltrate the Blackscaled Lizardfolk of the Lizard Court. The Lizard Queen and the Spirit Soul Naga failed to notice this infiltration because these cunning Serpent People carefully kept it limited to the lowest stratum. Amongst the Blackscaled Lizardfolk that the Lizard Queen cared about the least, they were just a group of Servants who helped her amass wealth and gather food. She hardly deigned to look at them directly; how could she know they had been infiltrated by the Serpent People?

This strategy was safe, but limited in combat strength. The core forces of the Lizard Court, the Half-Black Dragon Lizardfolk, and the Evil Fang Lizardfolk could neither penetrate nor dared to penetrate into their midst. As long as these Lizardfolk did not abandon the Blackscaled Lizardfolk Tribe, they dare not make any rash moves.

When the Lizard Queen withdrew her main force under the seduction of the Conqueror Army, leaving the Lizardfolk Army defenseless as it surged forth, the Serpent People saw a golden opportunity.

As soon as Anachet learned of the Lizard Queen’s demise, they hesitated no longer, launching a plan they had been preparing for many years. Under the leadership of the purebred Serpent People, the Lizard Serpent People lurking within the Blackscaled Lizardfolk Tribes took control of all the tribes’ women and children.

The intent was clear—to threaten the Blackscaled Lizardfolk retreating back to the Tun Marsh, snuffing out any hope of reviving the Lizard Queen, making them Servants of the Tun Serpent People.

They had meticulously prepared this plan for over half a century, choosing the perfect moment to execute it.

The timing, the location, the people—everything was in their favor. Failure seemed unlikely.

Without exception, all fifteen Blackscaled Lizardfolk Tribes fell under the control of the Tun Serpents.

When Gregory led the Lizardfolk Army back to the Lizard Court in secrecy, Anachet, the Abhorrent Serpent People, was already arrogantly seated upon the throne that once belonged to the Lizard Queen. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Seeing this, Gregory erupted in anger, "Anachet, you’ve got some nerve! Do you think this seat is for you to take? Is this how you repay Her Majesty’s kindness? Are you not afraid of invoking Her Majesty’s wrath, leading the army herself to trample your Serpent Marsh, leaving you without a place to call home?"

The Lizard Queen was not wholly without support; at least her sons, the Half-Black Dragon Lizardfolk, were devoted to her, at least outwardly so, particularly Gregory. This was key for him to command the Lizardfolk Army. Without the Lizard Queen’s notorious suppression, the Lizardfolk Army would dissipate, not just fragmenting, but led by other Half-Black Dragon Lizardfolk, they would fight viciously for power—a glimpse of which could be seen from the numerous hurdles he faced when leading the Lizardfolk Army back to Tun Marsh.
