Chapter 21: Cannibalism
Spring is warm and the sun is slight.
But on this land, there is a different scene. Above the main hall of Snowy City, several soldiers in armor sat in a row, and the soldiers below them lined up on either side.
"The time is too short, our combat strength can't confront the demons head-on now!" The leader is the main general of Huatian, Tianqian! At this moment, his brows are furrowed, and he is a little anxious.
The attack of the demons came too fast, and the demons, who originally thought that they would attack in a big way this autumn, did so in the spring. Now there has been a sixfold demon general with a chaotic heart, and even in several battles, Tianqian also felt the existence of the sevenfold or even above. It's subtle, but it's real.
"Use the Demon Fall as the vanguard, avoid head-on confrontation, focus on attack, and the main force of the army will accumulate strength in Syracuse City first, and then strike when the time comes!
Tianqian's eyes looked at Tianci, the original impulsive and hot-blooded child has now become the commander of the army, and in a short period of time, he has grown a lot.
However, in the face of Tianci's proposal, Tianqian still shook his head.
"Although the strength of the Demon Fall is strong, if it is against the Demon Clan, it is still not enough, this move is not possible. ”
"Dashuai!" "Tianfang took a step forward and saluted Tianqian, "The last general thinks that Dashuai can already lead the army to fight, the demon clan knows Dashuai, and when he sees you in person, the two sides will inevitably be deadlocked, and the demons will not act rashly, most of them are tentative, if expected, this scene is bound to last for a month or two, and then attack the flanks with the Demon Fall to reduce the strength of the demons." ”
Tian Qian nodded, he really agreed with the proposal of the Mandate of Heaven, but in this way, the situation would become the same as in the cold city before! Put all the strength in one place, once they fail, this time, they will have no way out.
"The demon thief's heart is immortal, and the intention of invading me has never died, if this move fails, there is no way back. ”
"The deadlock is bound to be broken, but the initiative is in our hands!" "Although the demon clan is strong, it will not die in vain, once the army is stalemate, the demon fall will advance in unison on the left and right wings, showing a trend of encirclement, and it will inevitably retreat!"
"Pullback?!"
"The primary purpose of this battle is to regain the land. ”
Tianqian tightened the armrests on the chair, a little angry, but even more helpless.
"Well, pass me the order!"
"In!"
"The army is immediately assembled to consolidate the city's defenses! Mobilize the personnel in the rear here as much as possible! General Liu, how many people can we gather on our side?"
"At present, there should be about 100,000!"
"100,000?!" Tianqian was stunned, and there was some regret in his heart, 100,000 words are really a little less, especially when the strength of ordinary human soldiers is not as good as that of the demons.
"Great marshal, the sergeants of the two wings can also be dispatched here, the demons are assembled, the two wings are bound to be empty, with the strength of the demon fall, there is no need for too many people. Destiny said confidently, this domineering spirit is still the same in the face of the demons.
Tianqian hesitated, but still agreed, and gathered the soldiers on both wings to the center, and transferred 50,000 each, and now, the remaining military strength of the two wings is less than 20,000 each.
Back in Nantian's barracks, Heaven was still in a hurry to rescue the wounded, and Tian Wai was already preparing for the transfer of personnel, and it was Leng Qiu who was standing next to him, still looking at Tian Cry with a contradictory face at the moment.
She still didn't believe that the person she liked to worship was actually a person who was regarded as a gentleman by herself, and she still appeared in front of her like this.
"The people you have selected are good, but the number is a little smaller, and when you get to the front, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep busy. ”
"That's nearly a hundred, isn't it enough?!" Leng Qiu asked in disbelief, but he shook his head and said, "Not enough, once the war starts, until the demon retreats, we will not have time to rest, and the casualties will only increase." ”
Even in the cold autumn, his expression became grim.
"How many more?"
"And so much, almost. ”
Leng Qiu nodded, it was not easy for her to have so many people, and now that she had transferred so many people to leave, and she wanted to transfer so many people again, it was too much pressure for the personnel in the rear.
After reluctantly saying goodbye to Tianqi, Leng Qiu went to sort out the information of the personnel, but Tianwee, but Tianwai was alone and came to the city tower of Nantian.
After repair, the city tower of the blue sky is higher than the ordinary city tower, but ordinary people cannot easily go out of the city. Although no one will leave here on their own initiative.
From here, you can see the situation of the entire Nantian from a distance, the original urban area, and the demolished and rebuilt places.
Almost all the people in the heavenly family are in the original old city, even where Tianwai lives, it is also in the central area, although the people here are refugees, but they are still passable.
But further afield, closer to the south, it is not so lucky, where refugees do not have a fixed house, and even food is not fed, and this happens all too often. The heavenly family is also powerless.
Tian Weeping's brows furrowed, if this continues, it will be a matter of time before there will be a riot! Don't look at the demons outside, people will unite, for these people, everything can be done, and some ordinary people are easily taken away by public opinion. Sure enough, regaining the land first is the primary purpose of the war!
Shaking his head, the sunset in the northwest slowly set, and the afterglow shone, but there was a hint of chill in plain air.
Walking down the long steps of the castle tower, Tianwai's footsteps were still a little slow.
I walked to the end of the road, and the place around the corner happened to be the long street of Nantian. This road, which was originally the original main street, has been renovated and demolished by the Heavenly Family, and it has become a long straight road.
At this moment, both sides of the road are full of refugees, they are all people who have no shelter to live, and they are resting here for a while, if they are lucky, they may be able to mix some food, if they are unlucky, I am afraid that they will go hungry tonight, and they will all be hungry until tomorrow until the food is distributed by the heavenly family.
Chen Huang and Yun Jia'er, who were originally among the guards of the Heavenly Family, should have followed the Heavenly Family to the Chaos War Zone at this moment, after all, they were very familiar with it and could help the Heavenly Family a lot.
Tian Wai noticed that among these refugees, many children were held tightly in their arms, and even the older ones were also controlled by the dead and did not allow them to make any movements! This made Tian Wai very puzzled, this phenomenon is very strange.
"Auntie, what's going on, why did you ...... your child?"
"Eh, young man, you've just come to Nantian......"
Tian Wai had no choice but to nod.
"Don't you know, Nantian is a refugee concentration camp at the moment, there are too many people here. But...... There is no food here to feed so many people, so ...... So ......"
The more she spoke, the more frightened she became, until her face turned a little blue, and she stopped talking. When Tian Wai heard this, he had already guessed some clues, looked at the woman's expression, and said word by word: "So, just quietly eat people?!"
The woman shuddered, then nodded, lowered her head, and held the child in her arms tightly.
At this moment, Tianwee's heart roared like a volcano about to explode, cannibalism!
The humans they worked so hard to save with their lives, and the demon clan's mouth that escaped from it, actually died at the hands of their own kind?!
The woman quietly raised her head and glanced at Tian Weeping's expression, and saw that his eyes were a little red, knowing that he was young and vigorous, and was regularly annoyed, she immediately persuaded in a low voice: "Young man, you must not be brave for a while, they are very powerful, and we cannot afford to provoke them." ”
Tianwai's brows furrowed again!
"You mean, they're quite numerous?!"
The woman nodded again, looked around, and said, "We'd rather stay on the streets here than go to the camp on the south side, for that's why, it's too scary." ”
Tianwai nodded, said goodbye, and walked forward. The woman looked frightened behind her, holding her child and shivering in the cold night.
After returning to his yard, Tianwai found Xue'er as soon as possible.
"Childe ......"
"Where's Murong Jin?!"
He was in a tent next to him, and several boys lived together. ”
"Call him over, forget it, I'll go find him myself!"
Xue'er followed Tianwai all the way to Murong Jin's camp, at this moment, several children were still resting in the camp, but Murong Jin was the only one who was practicing outside the camp!
A few children walked out and saw that Murong Jin was still cultivating, and they suddenly had some admiration in their hearts.
"Brother Murong, after a while, you can really become a demon fallen, right?!"
Murong Jin felt a little joy in his heart, but he didn't say it, but he understood better that even if it was another year, he was afraid that he would not be able to catch up with the weakest warrior among the Demon Fall.
"Xiao Jin......" A gentle call came from the side of the courtyard, and Murong Jin immediately heard that this was Sister Xue'er's voice, and the rest of the boys were the same, and suddenly looked over there with bright eyes, and finally, the figure of anticipation still appeared.
To them, Cher is like a sacred snow lotus, luxurious and inviolable.
"Sister Cher!" several children ran up to Cher for a while, their purpose was simple, just expecting Cher to call their names. However, at this moment, Xue'er does not have such keen observation, once it comes to Tian Wai, in her consciousness, there is only Tian Wai.
"Xiaojin! Childe is looking for you!"
Son...... A few children obviously showed a look of disappointment, this holy snow lotus is destined to be open to only one person, and the rest of the people, even appreciating it, seem redundant.
Murong Jin trembled all over, and the sky cried!?
Immediately, the figure of Sky Cry had already appeared beside Xue'er.
Tian Weeping's eyes looked at Murong Jin, as if he had seen through his whole body. The scene fell silent for a moment, and no one dared to speak. Only Xue'er stood by Tianwai's side, leaning on Tianwai's body, with a bit of attachment.
"Murong Jin, I have something for you to do, come with me. ”
"Yes!"
Murong Jin immediately kept his body and said with a hundred times more energy. This is the first time that Tianwai has told him to do things.
"You don't have to wait for me tonight, you may not be back until tomorrow, you can rest early. Tianwai's voice was very soft, and Xue'er nodded, understanding what Tianwai meant. "When it's spring, you can't take off the grace jade! Remember, or I'll be angry!"
"Got it, don't worry. Xue'er showed a rare playful look, a few days ago, she only picked it off for a while, and the son was unhappy and muttered for a long time. Thinking of this, Xue'er couldn't help but show a warm smile.
With Murong Jin, he walked all the way from Tianwee's residence to the camp area in the south.
"It's nice that you haven't left here all this time. Tian Wai stood in front of Murong Jin, "Today's matter, you must not let Xue'er know, otherwise, I will kill you!"
"Yes!" Murong Jin nodded nervously, not daring to be careless.
"You...... Have you ever heard of a cannibalistic organization?!"
