Chapter 362: The Nature of Civilization

The sunlight in the sky was obscured by the huge spaceship, and the Pioneer spacecraft came out of the sky like a metal city, and as the altitude of the spacecraft gradually decreased, the shock was incomparably amazing.

No one expected this to happen, and the battlefield that had been noisy just now suddenly fell silent, whether it was the attacker or the defender, whether it was ordinary soldiers or generals, everyone looked up at the sky in amazement, watching the Vanguard spacecraft descend in this way.

The first of all to come back to his senses was the richly dressed man, who was also startled at first, and looked at the Pioneer spacecraft in the sky in amazement, just like the others, and then he showed an ecstatic expression, stretched out his hands to the sky as if embracing, and shouted at the same time: "This is a miracle!" Miracles befall the Holy City! The holy city is immortal, and the gods are eternal! ”

"The holy city is immortal, and the gods are eternal!"

With his shout, the same voices rang out one after another, and soon they converged, and the entire holy city was full of people looking at the sky with excitement, and even some ordinary people and sergeants were moved to tears, and they even knelt on the ground in the face of the huge Vanguard spaceship, greeting the arrival of the gods in the most reverent way.

On the contrary, the attacking side, whether it was soldiers or generals, all showed terrified expressions, they could not believe what they saw in front of them, but when they looked up, the huge Vanguard spaceship was there, and even continued to land slowly, its huge size and majestic momentum were almost overwhelming.

The city they have been attacking these days is the most famous holy city on this planet, and it is rumored that this holy city was built by gods from outside the sky countless years ago, and the gods not only built this city, but also left a divine domain in this holy city for future generations to worship.

For thousands of years. The Holy City is the most glorious place of this primitive civilization, and it is the center of everyone's yearning. It is rumored that as long as you get the Holy City and enter the Divine Domain, you will become a god. Moreover, in the history of civilization, several emperors who have left great names in history have all come to the Holy City. The city has been the capital of the kingdom and has been passed down from generation to generation.

Now, the Holy City is also the capital of an empire, but this empire, which has lasted for more than 300 years, has lost its former glory and no longer has the glory of the past.

The weakening of the empire began decades ago, and some countries and tribes around the empire gradually rose to swallow the territory of the empire, coupled with natural and man-made disasters over the years, although the monarch of the empire tried to make amends. But in the face of such a big crisis, there is nothing that can be done.

The war began decades ago, and the last bit of strength of the empire was also consumed by this continuous war that lasted for decades, since last year, the situation in various battlefields has been deteriorating, the soldiers of the empire have shed their last drop of blood and have not been able to stop the enemy's footsteps, while losing one territory after another, the united enemy has attacked the holy city with an unstoppable force, and now is the last moment of the empire. If the Holy City is lost, then the empire will fall.

For the protection of the Holy City. The Empire decided to fight to the death and used the last of its military strength to start a great battle under the Holy City. But this decisive battle was doomed from the beginning, the enemy's strength was too strong, and the defense of the Holy City was in jeopardy, when the enemy finally used their killer weapon and sent a powerful dragon knight. Even the High Priest of the Holy City personally went into battle, but he still couldn't stop the opponent's attack.

Seeing that the Holy City was about to fall, the appearance of small shuttles unexpectedly changed the war, and when the dragon knights fled without being defeated, the high priest finally held the city, which made everyone's hearts breathe a sigh of relief for a while.

But that's not the end of it. Because the enemy only temporarily stopped attacking, the balance of forces between the two sides is still very different, if there is no accident, today's attack empire will still not be able to escape destruction, and the holy city will also fall into the hands of the enemy.

But no one could have imagined that the appearance of the Pioneer spaceship at this moment changed everything, and when the huge Pioneer spaceship descended from the sky and appeared in front of everyone in such a scene, the high priestess immediately thought of the guests who claimed to have come from a distant place yesterday, could it be that these guests were the gods mentioned in the scriptures? Right! They must be gods, gods who came down from heaven, and their appearance is almost exactly the same as mentioned in the ancient texts that have survived in the temple, and the gods appear in the holy city at such a time, isn't this to save them?

Legends about the gods and the Holy City have been circulating in this primitive civilization for thousands of years, and the united attackers certainly know these legends, and they understand the coming of this Holy City. Looking at the huge Vanguard spaceship, the hearts of the generals were uneasy, and some even beat drums in their hearts, could it be that the luck of the empire is not finished? Is the holy city really blessed by the gods?

Before they could make a judgment, or when these leaders hesitated to consider whether to continue the attack or let the troops retreat, many soldiers on the battlefield, including some low-ranking generals, could no longer control their fears in the face of the powerful pressure of the Vanguard spaceship, and some of them threw away their weapons regardless of it, and knelt down at the Vanguard spaceship in the sky like the other party in the Holy City, and stopped in horror, forgetting everything around them in a daze, There are even some people who are terrified by the appearance of the Vanguard spacecraft, they feel that it is absolutely impossible to win against the gods, and when they lose their courage and faith, even the most powerful army will collapse in an instant. Soldiers began to flee the battlefield, one, two, three, five...... The number of people is increasing, and even the generals shout to stop them, but they can't control more and more soldiers from fleeing. Even in the end, even some low-ranking generals began to flee the battlefield, and the fleeing crowd snowballed in size, and the army finally collapsed .......

"The holy city is immortal, and the gods are ever! Warriors! Offensive! Offensive! ”

Seeing this, the High Priest could not contain his excitement, he stood up and stretched out his hand to point at the fleeing enemy outside the city, and let out a shout that could be heard throughout the battlefield.

"Attack! Offensive! ”

The soldiers of the empire swept away the previous decadent fear, they were all as fanatical as if they had been injected with blood, and they were protected by the gods, what were they afraid of? The enemy has fled, isn't that the best chance to win? Under the command of the generals, the gates of the holy city were opened. Countless armies wielding weapons poured out of the city, and the sound of slaughter shook the sky and launched a counterattack on the enemy who had been invincible for a moment.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the enemy, who was far outnumbered by the Holy City, was slaughtered by the counter-attacking Imperial soldiers, and the soldiers and generals who had lost their armor did not care about anything, and they even lost the courage to turn back. There is only one thought in my mind, and that is to escape! Run as hard as you can, and run as far away as possible.

Looking down from the sky, there are fleeing troops everywhere, and even some troops are driven around by the pursuers who are only a fraction of their number or better, and those who run slowly are caught up by the other party and die, and those who flee fast do not look back and just want to run farther, those soldiers who see that they can't escape and can't escape, and who resist and have no courage simply squatted on the ground. Raise your hands in surrender.

In just half an hour, the situation on the battlefield completely changed, the attacker's army collapsed, and even the dragon knights hovering in the sky ran away without a trace. In the end, except for the chiefs who were desperately guarded by cavalry and some of the guards, the whole army was almost wiped out in such a short time.

The sudden turn of the war also stunned everyone on the Vanguard spacecraft, especially Tangle, who was speechless. As a member of the Blue Star Civilization, he couldn't understand why the dominant side had lost so quickly and so badly. Even the appearance of the Pioneer spaceship was somewhat surprising for primitive civilizations. But that's not the case!

On the contrary, the people on the side of the earth's civilization know better than him what caused the reason. After all. As a third-level cosmic civilization, the Blue Star civilization has entered the era of cosmic civilization for a long time, and their understanding of primitive civilization is certainly not as good as that of the earthlings who have just entered the cosmic civilization. What's more, through video transmission, the shouts of the high priest were also clearly heard by them, and then linked to the possibility of superstition, then it was natural for one side to quickly collapse in the case of losing morale.

The changes in the war disrupted the planned landing steps. Now the battlefield below has become a mess, and the Vanguard spacecraft continues to stay in the air for the time being. A few hours later, when the Empire had won a great victory, the rebellious enemies were either captured or hacked, and only a few escaped. The battlefield gradually calmed down.

"Look, what are they doing?" Tang Le suddenly saw a scene, pointed to a corner of the image and exclaimed.

Everyone looked intently, and saw that the soldiers who had collected the captives were picking out some people from among the captives, and all of the people who were picked out were as pale as dirt, and even wept, and some of them collapsed directly to the ground, but they were still dragged aside like dead dogs......

"Don't look, it's not a good scene." Seeing this scene, Gao Jian vaguely understood, and he immediately sighed and said.

"Isn't it a good scene? What do you mean? Tang Le didn't understand what was going on, but instead saw Luo Yan's face showing an unbearable look, and even twisted his head to the side. Just as he was trying to see what the people below were trying to do, a shocking scene happened.

The soldiers of the Imperial side began to carry out executions, and those selected from the group of captives were dragged to an open field, after which the soldiers drew their weapons without hesitation and cut off the heads of the begging and weeping enemies.

One head after another kept rolling to the ground, and the screams and howls of despair came to an end as the sword peak fell. On the contrary, although the faces of the remaining captives were extremely ugly, their expressions were full of relief.

Hundreds of heads were cut off, and the soldiers continued on their way to the next group of captives, and soon there were another burst of howls and pleadings......

Tang Le's face turned pale, he never expected to see such a cruel scene, at this moment he finally understood why Gao Jian reminded himself so much just now. In the universe, wars can happen the same, but for wars or conflicts between civilizations in the universe, no matter how cruel they are, they will never see this bloody scene, which makes Tang Le extremely uncomfortable, not to mention him, including Su Yichen, who did not turn his head to witness this scene with his own eyes, also felt that his chest was as breathless as a big stone at this moment.

I changed the angle of the image and took a deep breath at the same time, which made me feel a lot better.

"It's so barbaric! It's just barbaric! How can you do this to your own kind? ”

Tang Le, who had been retching for a while, was very angry, if he was the captain of the Pioneer spaceship, he would even want to launch an attack on such a barbaric civilization on the ground. In his opinion, war is war, and since the other side has been defeated, why use such barbaric means to take people's lives? Don't these primitive people know the preciousness of life?

"Hehe......."

Tang Le was angry at the same time, but there was a disdainful laugh next to him, and Tang Le was very angry and glanced at the person who made the laugh, he was Kevin. Adams.

"What do you mean, Your Excellency?" Donle asked dissatisfied.

"It's not interesting, I just think it's ridiculous." Kevin. Adams shrugged his shoulders and said lightly.

"Ridiculous?"

"That's right, it's ridiculous, don't you think it's ridiculous to make fun of the other person with your opinions and attitudes?" Kevin. Adams asked rhetorically with a flat expression.

"You think it's ridiculous? Why? Didn't you see what just happened? Isn't this a sign of barbarism? Downle was a little angry, and he reached out and pointed at the image.

"Savage? What is barbarism? What is civilization? Kevin. Adams asked coldly, and without waiting for Tang Le to answer, he continued: "What is the difference between cutting off the enemy's head with a knife and killing the enemy with a gun, as a third-level cosmic civilization, isn't it the same when you are in the primitive civilization?" Every civilization in the universe has come this way, and what seems barbaric to you is taken for granted to some extent. This is like the means used by cosmic civilizations to conquer primitive civilizations, and different means do not mean different ends, isn't it? ”

"You're quibbling! The cosmic civilization is not at all the same ...... as the primitive civilization. ”

"Different? Civilization is civilization, before the division of cosmic civilization, civilization was the same, there was no distinction between high and low, not to mention that even if civilization progressed to the level of cosmic civilization, what is the difference in its essence? The same is to kill people, and it is more civilized to use high-tech weapons than knives? It's ridiculous! ”

Kevin. Adams gushed a lot, Su Yichen didn't expect that he was actually a philosopher in addition to a simple scientist, but his words were indeed not wrong, especially the sentence that civilization is civilization, and there is no difference between cosmic civilization and primitive civilization in essence, and I deeply agree with it. The earth civilization has also experienced this stage, far more than the Blue Star civilization, that is, Tang Le, understands this better, and Tang Le's words just now that accused the cruel scene also touched the hearts of them as earthlings, in the earth civilization that has experienced the war with the Gaia civilization, if it is not lucky, maybe the remaining human beings will not even be as good as the prisoners of war below in the future.
