Chapter 1396: Being Extremely Brutal
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
On the ground, a whopping team lasting about 6,00 miles was driven out of the camp of demons, which was composed of millions of wailing Hua civilians in shabby clothes, old or young, male or female.
Those wing demons were monitoring these Hua civilians while iron-armored demons and ox-head demons were lashing them brutally from behind.
As it was December, it was pretty cold. Those Hua civilians in shabby clothes quivered in the chilly wind. Being threatened by the sabers and axes of demons, they were watching afar in a daze as they crawled with fear towards the wilderness. They didn’t know their destiny at all.
“Keep going. After crossing Weishui River, you will enter the territory of Taixia Country. Don’t you want to be the citizens of Heavens Reaching Empire? Don’t you bear Taixia Country in your mind? Here’s a chance for you! As long as you could rush over there, you will be free. The army of Taixia Country is right on the other bank of Weishui River. They could provide you with food and drinks. Look at that fortress over the sky in the east, that’s the Xuanyuan Fortress where Hua fighters are encamped...” Some people in brilliant official silk robes, who were different than natives of Taixia Country, were shouting loudly by huge iron sheet trumpets behind those Hua civilians.
After hearing the words, although the millions of Hua citizens were still doubting its veracity, someone looked up at the looming bulky Xuanyuan Fortress in the distance as their eyes shone with hope...
‘As long as I could rush over there, I would enter the territory of Taixia Country, leaving the hell and regaining my freedom.’
“Taixia, we could finally return to Taixia Country...” Those old men among the crowd dropped tears as their lips quivered. Gazing at the east, they held deep affection in eyes, “I’ve not imagined that I could survive back to Taixia Country...”
The mother in shabby clothes tightly cradled her baby as she peered at the east with a faint, hopeful brilliance in eyes, “Baby, as long as we reach that bank, we would have food...”
“Mom, will I be well fed then...” The baby who looked poor and weak asked.
“Yes, you will be. Because that’s Taixia Country...” The mom’s words brought faint brilliance to the baby’s naive face...
Those male citizens panted heavily...
Being in an uproar, the Hua citizens poured out of the camp. Finally, someone couldn’t stand sprinting towards the east, closely followed by more and more people. Within 600 miles, the Hua civilians were rushing towards the east like a surging tide...
Some were even cheering up as they couldn’t help weeping due to extreme pleasure.
Whereas, in the blink of an eye, the brutal reality had shattered all the beautiful dreams...
A flame rose up, turning a Hua male who was rushing forward into a fireball. The male just screamed miserably as he rolled on the earth.
Another flame appeared while the second Hua male turned into a fireball.
Those who screamed and rolled immediately soon became still as they gradually burned like trunks quietly yet miserably...
Over 600 miles, more and more flames rose up as more and more incendiary mines were detonated. After being burned, those Hua civilians were wailing miserably and rolling over the ground. Closely after that, they became quiet.
The quiet and cold wilderness was full of killing intent which was pretty terrifying...
Those Hua civilians being driven out of the camp of demons were scared so much; especially those in front who were all shocked and stopped their footsteps with pale faces as they just gazed at the ground with panic...
“Hurry up, rush forward...” The voice in the trumpet became fierce at once as if it was a jackal or wolf whose hypocritical mask had been torn off, “The army of Taixia Country is right in front of you; if you don’t rush forward, you will die...”
Those demons instantly raised their huge sabers as they started to slay the last Hua civilians one after another.
As LV 9 demons, they had terrifying battle strength and could split a person into two halves from head to feet, spraying blood and guts everywhere. As for ox-head demons, they could shatter half of a Hua civilian’s body by mace and heavy hammer.
With abyss in front and brutal holocaust behind, those Hua civilians were scared so much. In order to secure themselves from being killed, those in the end of the contingent exerted their utmost effort to move forward, pushing those ahead of them to surge forward...
“Don’t surge forward, those lackeys of demons and Heavens Reaching Empire want to kill us. No matter what, we will die. Let’s fight them to death...” A middle-aged man in shabby literal long robe shouted loudly in front. Right then, a wing demon descended from the sky as it penetrated through the middle-aged literate’s chest by a steel fork. With his miserable scream, the wing demon lifted the man to over 100 m high in the air before dropping him off...
Being stuck in limbo, more than one Hua person resisted the demon’s violence. However, in the blink of an eye, these dauntless people had been killed by wing demons or ox-head demons.
In the panic of death, all the Hua civilians were driven towards the wilderness.
“Don’t fire. Don’t attack us. We’re Hua civilians...” An old man with a completely pale beard and hair roared exhaustively towards the wilderness in quivering voice while being pushed forward as if he hoped that Taixia army could hear his words.
Since their homes were collapsed by demons, these Hua civilians had been in custody and became slaves who could get the latest news. These Hua civilians basically didn’t know that those flames rising from the earth were caused by incendiary mines that Taixia Country invented to deal with demons. That old man thought that Hua soldiers and powerhouses were hiding somewhere in the wilderness and preventing them from drawing near...
At this moment, another flame rose from the earth, engulfing that old man and two people near him at once. They shrieked miserably at the beginning; closely after that, they were burned into ashes.
Being pushed by someone behind, a mother who was cradling her baby staggered forward a couple of footsteps. Closely after that, she was engulfed by a flame.
“Ahh, my baby...” The mother tossed her baby out of the flame; however, her baby had already been burning and shrieking loudly. The mother wanted to put out her baby’s flame regardless of the flame on her body as she kept flapping her baby’s body. However, incendiary mine’s flames could even burn in water and could barely be put out on earth. As the mother kept flapping her baby, they both gradually became still...
“My God, what bad things have we done...” An old woman with pale hair immediately knelt down as she raised her hands and cried miserably with tears all over her face, “Demons are killing us. But why is Taixia Country killing us too?”
The other Hua civilians passed by the old woman hurriedly. At that moment, an ox-head demon arrived as it raised its mace and ferociously smashed the old woman into a pump of flesh...
They would die, whether they moved forward or backward...
Over the vast land, Hua civilians’ cries shocked the merciless wilderness, which became their purgatory...
...
“Ahh, battalion commander, the ground forces of demons are launching an attack towards us...” Fei Hao who was sitting on the back seat of Zhang Tie’s aircraft shouted when he noticed the constantly sparkles on the ground in the distance out of excitement, “Burn those sons of b*tches to ashes...”
As for air cavalries who were loafing in the sky near the east bank of Weishui River, they could see those sparkles over 120 miles away due to their altitude. However, due to the great distance, they thought those flames were detonated by demon’s ground forces. Therefore, some air cavalries were cheering up in the sky...
However, as Zhang Tie owned lotus flower eyes, he could see the miserable scene over 120 miles away clearly.
Feeling cold and heart-wrenched, Zhang Tie couldn’t help pouring out his tears as he was so in pain...
With quivering hands, Zhang Tie took out the remote-sensing crystal device as he sent a message to the headquarters of the no. 46 air cavalry regiment——Zhang Tie the battalion commander of the no. 46 air cavalry regiment asks to launch a strike towards demons...
——Veto!
——Stay where you’re for the order!
The headquarters of No. 46 air cavalry regiment sent 2 messages to Zhang Tie immediately in a scathing and succinct manner.
Military orders were forbidding!
Facing the tens of thousands of Hua civilians being slaughtered by demons and incendiary mines, Zhang Tie felt weak once again...
As a result, Zhang Tie pinched the remote-sensing crystal device into pieces at once!
The other air cavalries couldn’t actually see what was happening over there. However, Zhang Tie knew that Xuanyuan Fortress must know. Even air cavalries didn’t make any response; at least knights in Xuanyuan Fortress and Zuoqiu Mingyue could do something...
In the sky, Zhang Tie kept his eyes close on Xuanyuan Fortress and the other battle fortresses...
One minute...two minutes...ten minutes...twenty minutes had passed... Besides some battle qi smokes and tornadoes in the sky within 6,000 miles, Xuanyuan Fortress still remained as icy and irresistible as a steel city...
Zhang Tie became completely disappointed...
