Only My Way

More than ten minutes later.

The offensive of the underground beast tide continued.

Oh, no, it should be said that the offensive of the beast tide has finally gradually entered its main act… …

After sacrificing an unknown number of underground fierce beasts.

The surging beast tide finally forcibly arrived at the area surrounding the city, enduring various attacks.

In contrast.

Whether it was the rune cannons that could fire powerful bombardments, or the large city ballistae that could shoot rune armor-piercing arrows… …

At this time, they were all launching attacks frantically.

The personnel responsible for filling ammunition were extremely busy.

Among them.

Rune cannons, because of their large range of damage, are prone to accidentally injure their own people in close-range attacks.

They usually only attack enemies at a relatively long distance.

War weapons such as rune city ballistae, which are not easy to accidentally injure their own people, are mainly responsible for enemies that are already approaching.

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

However, those large rune crossbow arrows with the thickness of a bowl, a length of two or three meters, a weight of thousands of pounds, and capable of being shot at several times the speed of sound, are undoubtedly powerful weapons!

They can completely shoot fierce beasts through and even shoot through several fierce beasts at the same time, just like skewering candied haws!

At the same time.

While the various weaker individuals were responsible for manipulating various war weapons.

Based on the division of labor.

Each guy with decent strength also picked up various individual weapons in their hands, stood on the towering city wall, and launched various close-range attacks on those ground fierce beasts that might forcibly jump up against the formation barrier and the flying fierce beasts that tried to pounce on the rune cannons and rune city ballistae.

And their exquisite skills and fearless attitude.

Often earn the respect of the surrounding comrades.

For a time, looking around.

Everyone seemed to have something to do.

The scene was really quite lively.

Sometimes, fierce beasts are killed on the city wall.

Sometimes, the city defenders are attacked and killed on the spot by fierce beasts… …

Bloody and cruel scenes.

Are constantly happening.

However.

At this critical moment.

Yi Xizhou, as the person in charge, has not taken any action all along.

He was just constantly issuing various orders, remotely directing his subordinates to take action.

As for the reason?

Very simple.

He needs to maintain a sense of mystery as much as possible.

Avoid taking action directly as much as possible.

Only in this way.

The eight fierce beasts will not dare to act rashly because they cannot figure out the situation.

Otherwise.

If the eight fierce beasts really attacked together, even if the other three countries came to support this side as agreed.

Their [White Mist Country] would also need to pay a considerable price after the war.

Compared to that situation.

The current seemingly tragic battlefield situation is actually nothing more than that.

Although occasionally some fierce beasts can forcibly break through the formation barrier and pounce on the city wall, bringing some personnel losses to the defenders, or from time to time some flying fierce beasts will go around to the civilian area in the city to kill wantonly, attacking civilians and destroying buildings… …

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

On this cruel battlefield.

Not to mention the loss of just a few dozen, a few hundred people, a few houses, or a few streets.

Even the deaths and injuries of thousands of people, the fall of the entire city, are just a string of cold numbers, an insignificant piece of news.

After all, in this cruel world.

Which natural or man-made disaster does not involve hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions, or even more deaths and injuries?

Even if the matter is so big that the entire country is destroyed on the spot, with hundreds of millions or billions of deaths and injuries… …

But in thousands of years.

That is just an insignificant story.

Except for a very few people.

No one will care or remember… …

Therefore, in order to avoid becoming a story or an accident, from the very beginning, Yi Xizhou never cared about those guys who might be sacrificed. He only knew one thing, that is, what he needed to do was just to allow most people to survive, or rather, to keep the other continents outside of [North Wuchen Continent] intact as much as possible.

If necessary.

Even if it is necessary to actively sacrifice the entire city, it is not impossible… …

As a former [National Lord] of the [White Mist Country], he is very clear that although [North Wuchen Continent] is very important, it is actually nothing compared to the entire country.

In fact, since the beginning of the founding of the country, this place has already been some kind of unstable factor, some kind of time bomb. Every [National Lord] is very clear that [North Wuchen Continent] is a threat that may be detonated at any time… …

Sacrificing the land and the civilians here when necessary has long been some kind of backup plan thousands of years ago.

To this end.

They have also made various preparations long ago.

Of course, it is worth mentioning that all of that is actually some kind of open secret, and even many civilians here are very clear that once things evolve to an irreversible degree, then the official may very well decisively abandon the entire [North Wuchen Continent].

To put it bluntly.

Everyone is not stupid.

Over the years, any local person is very clear that this land is likely to cause some extremely troublesome things… …

Standing on the deck of the [Jade Night Building Ship].

Looking at the tragic scenes below.

Ling Wuyuan gently whistled.

“It’s really a bit tragic… …

”

It may be a bit exaggerated to call it a human purgatory.

But it is absolutely no problem to call it a meat grinder.

However.

Currently, the overall situation is obviously still within the control of various countries.

There is absolutely no feeling that the situation is about to get out of control.

Whether it is the defenders of various cities or the civilians in various cities, they are generally quite orderly, and there is no feeling of crying for their parents and mothers after being suddenly raided by the enemy.

Um… …

In this regard.

Ling Wuyuan was also a little surprised by the situation.

Especially when he noticed that the local civilians often seemed quite calm when facing fierce beasts, and even dared to try to besiege them, he was even more surprised.

“The folk customs are a bit sturdy… …

”

“Could it be that these local people have become accustomed to the existence of fierce beasts? ?

”

After scratching his head gently.

Soon, Ling Wuyuan's gaze was shifted to those war weapons.

As a person with a strong perception.

Even if they are separated by ten thousand meters and the scene is quite chaotic.

He can still relatively clearly judge what kind of power those war weapons actually possess.

Of course.

Even if the perception is not enough, those large pits with a depth of hundreds of meters and a diameter of thousands of meters can still make the actual power of those war weapons become something visible to the naked eye.
