My Way

Chapter 404: Customs of the Northern Wuchen State
More than ten minutes later.

The underground beast tide's attack continues.

Oh, no, it should be said that the beast tide's offensive has finally begun to take shape...

After sacrificing countless underground beasts.

The surging beast tide, like a tide, finally forced its way to the area around the city despite all kinds of attacks.

relatively.

Whether it's the rune cannons that can fire powerful bombardments, or the large city crossbows that can shoot rune armor-piercing arrows...

At this moment, they were all launching attacks frantically.

The people responsible for loading ammunition were very busy.

among them.

The rune cannon has a large killing range and can easily injure its own people during close range attacks.

They are usually only responsible for attacking enemies that are relatively far away.

War weapons like the Rune City Crossbow, which are less likely to accidentally injure one's own people, are mainly responsible for approaching enemies.

Although their actual killing power is far less than that of rune cannons.

But those large rune crossbows that are as thick as a bowl, two or three meters long, weigh thousands of pounds, and can be fired at several times the speed of sound are undoubtedly powerful weapons!
It is entirely possible to shoot through the ferocious beasts one by one, just like stringing together candied haws, or even shoot through several ferocious beasts at the same time!
at the same time.

When the weak are responsible for operating various weapons of war.

Based on different division of labor.

The guys with good strength also picked up various individual weapons in their hands, stood on the towering city walls, and launched various close-range attacks on the ground beasts that might force their way up against the formation barrier, as well as the flying beasts that tried to pounce on the rune cannons and rune city crossbows.

And their exquisite skills and fearless attitude.

They will often gain the respect of their comrades around them.

For a moment, look around.

It seems like everyone has something to do.

The scene was indeed quite lively.

Sometimes ferocious beasts were killed on the city walls.

Sometimes the city guards were attacked and killed by ferocious beasts on the spot...

A bloody and cruel scene.

It’s constantly happening.

but.

At this critical moment.

Yi Xizhou, as the person in charge, has not taken any action so far.

He just kept issuing various orders, directing his subordinates to do things from a distance.

As for the reason?

Very simple.

He needs to remain as mysterious as possible.

Try to avoid taking direct action.

That's the only way.

The eight ferocious beasts would not dare to act rashly because they did not understand the situation clearly.

otherwise.

If the eight ferocious beasts really attack together, even if the other three countries come to support us as agreed.

They [White Mist Country] will also need to pay a heavy price after the war.

Compared to that situation.

The current battlefield situation, which seems tragic, is actually just this.

Although occasionally some ferocious beasts would brave the formation barrier and pounce on the city wall, causing some casualties to the defenders, or from time to time some flying ferocious beasts would go around to the civilian areas in the city and kill people everywhere, attacking civilians and destroying buildings...

But that insignificant loss was actually completely within everyone's expectations and was not a big deal at all.

In this cruel battlefield.

Not to mention the loss of just a few dozen or a few hundred people, a few houses, or a few streets. Even if there were tens of thousands of casualties, or the fall of an entire city, it would only be a string of cold numbers, an insignificant piece of news.

After all, in this cruel world.

Which natural disaster or man-made disaster does not easily result in hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions or even more deaths and injuries? ?
Even if the incident was so serious that the entire country was destroyed on the spot, with hundreds of millions or even billions of people killed or injured...

But thousands of years later.

That's just an insignificant story.

Except for a very few people.

No one will care or remember...

Therefore, in order to prevent himself and others from becoming a story or an accident, from the very beginning, Yi Xizhou never cared about those who might be sacrificed. He only knew one thing, that is, what he needed to do was to keep most people alive or to try to keep the other continents outside the [Beiwuchen State] intact.

if necessary.

Even if it means sacrificing the entire city, that's not impossible...

As a former ruler of the White Mist Kingdom, he knew very well that although the Northern Wuchen Province was important, it was actually nothing compared to the entire country.

In fact, this place has been a destabilizing factor since the founding of the country, a time bomb. All the successive [kings] knew very well that [Northern Wuchen State] was a threat that could be detonated at any time...

The intention to sacrifice the land and civilians here when necessary has been a kind of backup plan for thousands of years.

to this end.

They had also made various preparations long ago.

Of course, it is worth mentioning that all of that is actually an open secret. Even many civilians here know very well that once things develop to an irreversible level, the authorities will most likely abandon the entire [Northern Wuchen State] without hesitation.

to be honest.

We are not stupid.

Over the years, any local knows very well that this land is likely to cause some extremely troublesome troubles...

Standing on the deck of the [Yuyelou Ship].

Looking at the tragic scenes below.

Ling Wuyuan whistled softly.

"It's really tragic..."

It might be an exaggeration to describe it as a kind of hell on earth.

But call it a meat grinder.

There is absolutely no problem with that.

but.

At present, the overall situation is obviously still under the control of various countries.

There was absolutely no sense that the situation was getting out of control.

No matter whether it was the defenders of each city or the civilians in the cities, they were generally quite orderly, and there was no sign of them crying for help after being suddenly raided by the enemy.

Ok……

in this regard.

Ling Wuyuan was also a little surprised by the situation.

He was especially surprised when he noticed that the local civilians often appeared quite calm when facing the ferocious beasts, and some even dared to try to besiege them.

"The local customs seem to be a bit tough..."

"Have these locals become accustomed to the existence of ferocious beasts?"

After scratching his head lightly.

Soon, Ling Wuyuan's attention was shifted to the weapons of war.

As a very perceptive person.

Even though they were thousands of meters apart and the scene was quite chaotic.

He could still judge relatively clearly what kind of power those weapons of war possessed.

of course.

Even if one's perception is not good enough, those huge pits that are hundreds of meters deep and thousands of meters in diameter can still make the actual power of those war weapons visible to the naked eye.
