During the flight, the meteorite split into dozens of smaller, red-hot pieces due to friction and heat, each of which was accurately headed for its target under the control of magical energy;

With an earth-shattering loud bang, in a short period of time, the front and side of the valley were under intense bombardment by a group of heavy aircraft.

The sand and gravel on the positions of the officers and soldiers suddenly flew and the flames soared into the sky. The steam tank was smashed along with its crew, and the nearby infantry was thrown into the air like ants, shattered into powder.

No wails could be heard through the binoculars, only the surviving wounded soldiers could be seen crawling out of their positions and tanks in disarray, rolling and crawling to the rear. The main force of the officers and troops, who had been hiding in the position in the valley, also turned around one after another when they saw this and burrowed into the depths of the valley.

However, they will soon realize how lucky their companions who died instantly in the first round of bombardment actually were.

Before launching the attack, Oster had already deduced that even a legendary-level spell could not annihilate more than a regiment of troops with a single shot. Those are living people, not targets, they can run, they will scatter, they will find cover. What's more, the terrain in the mountains is very complicated, and as long as the opponent retreats into the valley, he can effectively avoid air strikes under the cover of the mountain wall.

And in the magical world, where flying aways are commonplace, it is difficult for regular armies to be intimidated by one or two meteorites. If the enemy cannot be annihilated or repulsed in one fell swoop, the situation will be extremely unfavorable if the Sashu battery is exhausted.

Thus, from the very beginning, Oster's goal was not to directly attack the enemy's living forces. He allowed only a small number of meteorites to fly towards the positions of the officers and soldiers exposed in front of the valley, with the aim of forcing them to retreat into the narrow valley behind them; Most of the meteorites were controlled to hit one side of the mountain, where there are shale rock formations that are very prone to collapse.

Just as the officers and soldiers retreated into the valley in panic at the orders of their commanders, trying to wait until the meteorite attack was over before showing their heads; At this time, above their heads, the side of the hill that had been bombarded by more than a dozen giant debris in a row finally collapsed entirely. The gravel formed a mighty wave, roaring towards the valley floor;

Below, the officers and soldiers who were densely packed and frightened, huddled together like ants in a hot pot, felt an unusual vibration and loud noise before they could catch their breath; Then, the overwhelming stone flow rushed to them in the blink of an eye.

The time is neither early nor late, including the timing of the rock collapse and the speed of the rock flow impact, all under the control of Sashu. Oster couldn't help but sigh, he had always felt that Sashu was a golden finger for copying spells for free; Now it seems that this is its weakest function, and the seemingly inconspicuous intelligence detection and analysis ability is the most perverted.

In the valley, the soldiers screamed and howled, stomping on their companions' heads in an attempt to escape. However, where can they run to such a narrow place?

Not long ago, when these people triumphantly shot and fired arrows, forcing innocent people to serve as cannon fodder, it is estimated that just a few minutes later, it will be themselves who are desperately struggling in the face of death, right?

Soon, the soldiers were swept down and buried by the stream of rubble. As the rocks filled the valley floor, the screams and moans that echoed through the valley slowly faded.

When the smoke cleared, the entire area was completely silent, except for bloodstained rubble, revealing twisted tanks, armor, knives and guns, and countless unrecognizable corpses.

On the hillside on this side, Oster, who had completed the spell, also fell back to the ground, shining like a god descending from the earth; The effect of the chain strike was even better than estimated, and almost no enemy troops escaped the second round.

The guards were so inspired by the sight that they jumped on their horses and charged down the hillside with a shout. Together with the resisting battalion soldiers, they launched a final assault on the few remnants of the officers and soldiers in the position.

In fact, if they stayed for a few more seconds, they could see that as the light around Auster faded, a face with a swarthy face, hair standing on end, a crooked mouth and slanted eyes, and a sloppy face, like a fool's face;

The legendary-level spell is really extraordinary, and when the spell is cast, it doesn't feel anything because of the blessing of the Sashu, and when the authority is reduced, the mana is backtracked, and the magic energy of several thousand An's (magic unit, the whole process is Antonidas) passes through the body at the same time, as if standing in a ten-level typhoon for a whole day.

Oster was so disheveled by the shock that his consciousness flew high in the sky, and he shook for a while before slowly regaining consciousness. The tissues, muscles, and blood vessels of the whole body are roaring, the head is buzzing, and the stomach is tumbling violently; Similar to the situation when he drank the fragment for the first time in his previous life, he only thought in his heart that he would no longer use magic when he was killed.

In front of him, the interface of the book shows [Energy 0%. I wish you a happy life and see you next time], and then turned off with a flash. No matter how Oster called, there was no response.

Oster froze in place, his shoulders twitching, and let out a terrible laugh. Then it becomes laughter, laughter, and laughter;

After only three or five days of erection, the dignified Guardian of the Ao Da was once again a whiteboard, a waste of wood, straw bales, and non-combustible garbage, and his profession was reverted to that of a weak chicken farmer.

Oster almost went insane. Every time he felt better, he would be quickly beaten back to his original shape with a stick; Is it necessary to pretend to be forced, but also to talk about the combination of work and rest, and three days off and five days off?

At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield, the escort team, supported by friendly fire, bravely rushed to kill and harvest the remnants of the enemy army. Since most of the officers and soldiers had been killed by meteorites or buried in the valley by rocks, and the remnants were either killed or wounded, the battle ended in a short time;

In less than an hour, the main force of the guards, which was more than 1,000 men well-equipped and full of confidence and ready to take the Xishan battalion headquarters in one fell swoop, was left with only a few frightened remnants of the defeated generals, who had gone into the forest and fled in all directions.

Here, Oster, who had nothing to love, was escorted by Keith, and rode to the vicinity of the pass.

What caught their eyes was the scene of the people struggling and groaning in pain;

The old and weak women and children who had been driven away to serve as cannon fodder were first shot dead by the officers and soldiers, and then they were involved in the exchange of fire between the two armies, with heavy casualties and bloodstains and corpses everywhere. The poor mother was shot several times, but she still couldn't save the baby in her swaddling clothes, and she clung to the dead child and swallowed her breath.

Witnessing such a miserable human situation, the guards wept one after another. At this time, the defenders of the West Hill came down from the fortifications and joined the convoy.

When he saw that there were only about two dozen soldiers in the defensive position, led by a squad leader, the impulsive Pullman couldn't control it, stepped forward and grabbed his collar and asked urgently, "Why are you so many, where is the main force of the battalion headquarters?" ”

The squad leader of the defenders was also injured in the previous battle, and one of his arms was blown off. Oster and Keith hurriedly persuaded Pullman to go away and bandage the wounds of the squad leader named Mars.

Mars stopped talking about the situation at the battalion headquarters, and finally said to Oster, "Sir, you can follow me to the camp and take a look, and you will understand. ”

Under his guidance, the soldiers opened the pass, and led Oster, the escort, and the people around the mountain road, climbing all the way, and finally reached the camp located on the top of the mountain. On the way, I saw that many people had already arrived for refuge and camped on the hillside;

Xishan Camp is located on the main peak of the hill, surrounded by cliffs on three sides, the top of the mountain is open, and there is a water source, which is the easiest to defend and most difficult to attack of all the strongholds. In addition, the nearby area is rich in natural resources, and it is an out-and-out fortress terrain.

Oster had been trying to persuade the rebels to abandon their strongholds on the plains and retreat to the West Hills, but was rejected at the meeting of the church masters. Because if you do this, the people in the base area will be abandoned, and the fate that awaits them will be too miserable; It's like the state of the West Hill right now. Now that I think about it, it's a blessing that Skar didn't listen to this immature advice in the first place.

As soon as he arrived at the wall, Oster immediately understood what Mars was referring to;

In the open field in the center of the battalion headquarters, two groups of officers and soldiers gathered in the black press, and under the leadership of their respective officers, they were facing each other with loaded guns and ammunition, and they had reached the point of saber rattling.

"I command you to lay down your arms! Disobey military orders, do you want to rebel? ”

"Fart, you don't have the right to command us. If you want to call up the arsenal, you have to let go of all our captured people! ”

"Those people are traitors!"

"Nonsense, you don't have any evidence at all, so you arrest and kill people indiscriminately!"

……

The officers and soldiers of the two gangs that are facing each other belong to the Hakka and indigenous factions respectively. Before coming, Oster had heard some of the conditions of the West Mountain;

The residents and officers and soldiers here are divided into two factions, the original inhabitants here are called the indigenous faction, and after the outbreak of the blight disease, a large number of refugees fled to Heishan County and camped and settled in the vast and sparsely populated western hills, called the Hakka faction.

Although the two factions fought side by side against the government and the landlords in the process of forcible expropriation and seizure, in the final analysis, the arrival of a large number of refugees actually competed for the indigenous people's arable land, drinking water and various resources. In terms of customs, beliefs, habits, etc., the two groups of people have always been at odds.

Within the Xishan Rebel Army, which was mainly composed of militias, the contradictions between the Hakka faction and the indigenous faction had penetrated into all aspects, even to the point of irreconcilability. When dealing with some contradictions, the cadres of the rebel army also did not fully take into account the feelings of the residents of the two factions, resulting in a series of misunderstandings. The indigenous faction believes that the rebels are biased in favor of the refugees and are responsible for the forcible occupation of their homeland land. The Hakka faction believed that they had contributed more in the war, and that the natives had taken advantage of their sacrifices and did not appreciate it.

In addition, when the rebels were active in Xishan, they carried out two major measures. First, it launched land reform, hanged a number of landlords who had occupied barren fields and mountains and committed heinous crimes, and distributed the land equally among the refugees. Second, in view of the collusion of officials and businessmen to take advantage of the disaster to lend usury to exploit the military and civilians, they launched a campaign to burn land deed debts and execute a number of foreign capitalists.

At first, both of them received enthusiastic support from the public, but later, both of these measures began to be blindly expanded, and even became a tool for the Turks and the Turks to weaken each other. As long as the local farmer owns the land, he is regarded as a landlord, and as long as he travels to and from various places to run a business, hire others to help the foreign businessman, he is regarded as a bourgeoisie, and he is deprived of his property or even executed. As a result, many unjust cases and wrongful killings were caused, many of which involved the relatives of the officers and men of the rebels, and the contradictions were further intensified.

The trigger for the outburst of the conflict was the recent brawl between two groups of soldiers, in which an indigenous soldier was killed by a refugee soldier. Deliberately instigated, a large number of indigenous soldiers surrounded the battalion headquarters and demanded an explanation from the Hakka Commander, Captain Price. Price was shot and killed by gunmen hiding in the crowd while trying to negotiate persuasion.

Although most of the indigenous officers and soldiers were ignorant of this, the battalion headquarters immediately characterized the matter as a rebellion. In the subsequent process of purging the traitors, many innocent indigenous officers and soldiers were imprisoned and killed in vain without strict trial, causing many indigenous factions to feel cold, and many soldiers left the ranks and even defected to the official army.

In his previous life, Oster had heard a little about similar things, and in a word, there would be conflicts where there were people.

That's the general situation in Nishiyama. Skar sent Oster in the hope that his all-powerful deputy leader would be able to calm the situation and ease the conflict between the two factions. However, can this be an easy thing to deal with?
