Chapter 158: A Human Tragedy
War is a word that is both familiar and unfamiliar to Xiao Ye.
Familiar because he had never seen this word in books in his previous life or in this life, and he knew the cruelty of war; The strangeness is because he has never experienced it and lacks a true understanding of war.
With the two empires of Xingluo Tiandou officially at war, Xiao Ye knew how serious these two words were.
Before officially going to the battlefield, Qin Ming took them to visit the lost territory of the front line in the name of "social practice".
If you want to participate in the war, you must understand the war in advance, know the cruelty of the war, and only when you have an awareness in your heart can you minimize mistakes.
In addition to the Huang Dou team, two other people came over together.
Tang San and Tang Xue sisters and brothers, after all, these two have Haotian Hammer Martial Souls, let them follow the Heaven Dou Royal Clan, maybe they can also provoke the relationship between Haotian Sect and the Star Luo Empire.
The first place that Qin Ming brought these students to was called Notting City.
Notting City, this is Tang San's hometown, and it is also Douluo's world-famous "Novice Village".
Today, this small city has been completely reduced to ruins.
As a small border city of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire had no intention of garrisoning troops here.
These brutal creatures carried out the most simple and brutal policy, which was to destroy the entire city, turning it into a dead city, and making the city lose its role as a barrier.
"Third brother, are you alright?"
Tang Xue glanced at Tang San with some concern.
She knew that Tang San had grown up in this place since he was a child, and his time in Notting City occupied at least three-quarters of his life.
Seeing that the blacksmith shop where he worked back then had been ransacked, it could be confirmed from the corpse on the ground that had not yet completely decomposed, that this dead person was Uncle Chen, who had taken a lot of care of himself, Rao is Tang San, and he also felt dull in his heart.
"Sister, don't worry, I'm fine."
Tang San took a deep breath, he kept telling himself that these people had nothing to do with him, and in fact they were. But for some reason, he still had a different kind of emotion, and it was always difficult to settle down.
And Xiao Ye and his team members were also silent, as soul masters, each of them had blood on their hands, but they couldn't directly slaughter ordinary people.
The quiet town has completely lost the peace and prosperity of the past. Half of the city was burned to the ground, and even today there are open fires burning on the buildings.
In this small town, the bodies of old men and men can be seen everywhere.
A soldier took the team led by Qin Ming to the temporary prison in the city.
Star Luo's general allowed the teachers of the Heaven Dou Soul Master Academies to take the students to see up close what happened to the defeated captives. This can cause a psychological shock to them, and the Star Luo Empire is more than happy to be able to make Tiandou's living forces surrender by intimidation alone.
It can be seen that the women and children were held in two groups.
Everyone shrunk and shivered in their cages, their necks held in place by black-iron collars, and the extended chains connected to the shackles of the people in front and behind them, as well as their hands and feet.
Soldiers constantly whipped these people with whips, instilling in them a certain idea of obedience.
Xiao Ye's eyes froze, and he saw a very familiar figure among the many girls. That was after he and Ning Rongrong sneaked out when they were young, and helped their soul master Tie Mingming.
And Xue Ke's face is also very bad.
She was the princess of the Heaven Dou Empire, and it was very painful to see her people being so ravaged by the enemy country. The first time she really came into contact with the people at the bottom of the empire, she didn't expect it to be on such an occasion.
This human tragedy is the reason why Xingluo is called a "barbarian orc".
Looking at the empty city, Xiao Ye asked softly, "Brother Tang, do you still want to go to the Holy Soul Village to have a look?" β
Tang San shook his head: "No need. β
He saw a familiar figure among the captured girls, who were soul masters from the same village as him.
Without any accidents, the Holy Soul Village also fell.
"Teacher Qin, I can't help it."
Hearing Xiao Ye's words, Qin Ming nodded: "If you can't help it, you don't need to endure it." β
Qin Ming brought these students over, just to let them lose the playfulness in their hearts, war is not a child's play, this is extremely cruel, if you participate in it with a playful temperament, it is an insult to the dead in the war.
Hearing the conversation between the teachers and students, all the soldiers pointed their guns at the group.
Whether it was Heaven Dou or Star Luo, their regular army was not afraid of soul masters. An army of thousands of people formed a formation, even if it was a Soul King, he would have to hate it on the spot, and a Soul Emperor general would lead tens of thousands of people to form a formation, even if it was a Contra Douluo, he would have to hate it on the spot.
Only the Title Douluo can say without scruples that he can come and go freely in an army of millions.
This is the gold content of Title Douluo.
The officers in the temporary prison did not think that the top students from the sub-academy in front of them could cause any trouble. Generally, the teacher who leads the team is the Soul Sect at most, and there are a thousand soldiers here!
Xiao Ye looked at the soldiers around him, stretched out his right hand, and a white flame in the viscous powder burned in his palm. The flame turned into a lotus flower, constantly spinning in the hand.
Xiao Ye waved his hand, and the flames instantly engulfed the entire Notting City.
The soldiers who surrounded them, the shackles on the captives, the corpses on the ground, the charred buildings, and the ruined city walls were all purified by the demonic fire called "Pure Lotus" in an instant.
Faintly, it seems that the figure of a young girl can be seen wandering around the campus of Notting College.
The flames are weathered and become sparks in the sky.
With the Pure Lotus Demon Fire sweeping, the entire city became exceptionally clean.
In just a split second, all the enemies were annihilated.
The formation that Star Dou was proud of restraining the soul master couldn't play a role in front of this domineering alien fire at all.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you."
These girls, who had been brutally abused before, cried and knelt on the ground, venting their emotions.
Tang San helped the familiar figure up: "Sister Mingming, are you okay?" β
The moment Tang San's hand touched Tie Mingming, Tie Mingming's body trembled obviously, this was the muscle memory formed by her physical body during this time.
After all, it was a three-ring soul venerable, and after hearing Tang San's title, she quickly stabilized her mind and looked at the student in front of her carefully: "You areβTang San!" β
Happy, ashamed, sad...... All kinds of emotions poured into my heart, and tears flowed out unconsciously.
Xiao Ye also sighed and stepped forward and said, "Sister Mingming, do you still remember me?" We met seven years ago. β
"Seven years ago, you were that kid?"
