On the next morning, Dass set foot on this Lake Heart Island for the first time.
Half of the old Jade Bud City was submerged in water, and the wood and rammed earth houses had their corners soaked by the lake, teetering precariously.
The Dragon Blood peppers hanging from the eaves were particularly red at this moment, and Slimes emerged out of nowhere like mushrooms, opportunistically devouring the breadworms raised by the Snake-men everywhere.
Traces of last night's plundering by the city-state allied forces remained in the knife marks on the houses.
Outside the houses on both sides, clusters of fearful Snake-men inhabitants pressed their foreheads into the ankle-deep lake water, sincerely saluting the black-clad silver-armored soldiers.
If it weren't for them maintaining order just in time last night, the entire Snake-men population in Jade Bud City might have been slaughtered.
