Chapter 818 435: A Match Made in Heaven, Ruined by Foolishness
"That group of Moon Priest descendants willing to cooperate?" Dido's tone was disdainful.
Six months ago, he retreated repeatedly, finally pulling back to a Da Yuan Canyon with his few remaining forces, using the terrain to fend off repeated attacks from the mechanical forces.
Later, the mechanical forces seemed to see them as no threat, and after the prolonged assault yielded no results, they withdrew. As long as they didn't venture too deeply into the Ascension Empire's territories, the other side appeared not to bother them.
In contrast, the Moon Star Girls were faring poorly, constantly striving to resist the Ascension Empire.
Moreover, they split into two factions: one faction fought to reclaim human legitimacy, continuously suppressed by the Ascension Empire.
Dido's disdain was directed at this faction of Moon Star Girls.
Whereas the other faction was different; they, like ninety-nine percent of ordinary people, chose to side with the Ascension Empire.
No one harbored any rejection of the Ascension Empire's takeover, because the large-scale emergence of mechanical forces dramatically improved everyone's standard of living, and people lived comfortably.
In the past, one worked hard to earn three thousand yuan a month; now, with mechanical help, easily earn over ten thousand with no fatigue, even strictly adhering to regulations without fear of wage cuts for overtime, with various welfare benefits.
Working for someone is just working. Besides, ordinary people thought about rebellion, but what was the result? The mechanical forces, each with guns in hand, dared to kill all who dared to revolt.
Prisoners? Reputation?
For the Ascension Empire, these were irrelevant.
To maintain stability, they specially broadcasted the fate of rebels as a warning.
Some Moon Star Girls were naturally unwilling to give up their previously privileged lives; after all, after rising from the bottom and getting used to a life of luxury, facing a return to their former lives, no, worse than before, with life-threatening risks, they were certainly unwilling.
Hence, only a small portion rebelled.
"Yes, King, the rebellious descendants are willing to cooperate, but we cannot forgive their ancestors' crimes so easily; they must pay the price." Sun Warrior Heath's tone was firm, believing they were the force truly holding the upper hand.
Indeed, when it came to the forces of Moon Star and Sun, the Sun Tribe held the advantage.
As for the Sun Dynasty, it was no longer qualified, having been shattered in repeated skirmishes with the Ascension Empire. Nevertheless, merely having Sun King Dido made it far larger than the Moon Star Girls.
"Of course, I want them and all their offspring to become my slaves; otherwise, what right do they have to cooperate with me?" Dido was full of pride; unable to defeat the Ascension Empire, but could he not defeat a group of lost dogs?
"Sun King, you are too arrogant, do you really think we can only cooperate with you?" An ethereal voice came through.
This made the Sun King's face darken; the voice reminded him of those Moon Priestesses who refused to submit to him back then.
A beam of moonlight shone into his tent, and a tall woman walked gracefully with the moonlight.
"Moon Priest... No, no, you are not her, you just regained her moon power." The Sun King stared at this woman fiercely, with hatred in his eyes, wishing he could tear her apart.
"Sun King, have you seen enough?" Elena frowned; she hated the Sun King's gaze, especially that murderous look.
"Humph, you cannot resist the Ascension Empire, and now you want to cooperate with me; how can you not pay some price."
"As long as you become my slave, I am willing to send troops to help you out."
The Sun King's gaze did not withdraw, instead became more malicious, even planning how to torture her to vent.
"If the Sun King is unwilling, forget it, we'll just go directly to the Ascension Empire." Elena had no affection for this utterly brainless Sun King.
Send troops to help out; the Sun Tribe was already beaten with no power to resist.
She came here more for a joint effort to overthrow the Ascension Empire, not to serve as a cattle or horse.
If truly this foolish, she might as well surrender; after all, the Ascension Empire's calls for surrender never ceased. Instead, the Sun Tribe always followed a policy of killing without pardon.
So in reality, they had a retreat, but the Sun Tribe had none. The reason for surrounding without killing might be that the Ascension Empire was eyeing something within the Sun Tribe.
"Bitch, dare you!" Dido erupted with anger instantly, light and heat spread, ready to act directly.
Elena calmly used moon power to dispel the light and heat emanated by him, her expression was very serene: "What? Don't tell me you still think you are the lofty Sun King?"
"Now, you are not even as good as a tribal Sun Chief back then."
The ridicule in her words inflicted shame on Dido, and fury burst from his eyes.
"You... I will kill you, bitch!!!" Dido, faced with this bloody reality, was about to act on the spot.
"I'm afraid you don't have the guts." Elena's tone remained calm: "Cooperate with me, there is still a chance to overthrow the Ascension Empire, letting you turn from a Sun Chief back to being a Sun King; if you kill me, you will be a Sun Chief for life."
