Chapter 140: Sacrifice
The war drums were thundering, the cold blood gates were wide open, and the army went out of the frontier.
The dark clouds of war that were condensed in the sky were like monsters dancing in their claws, pounced on the Black Cloud City in the distance.
Because of the existence of magic weapons like the Sumeru Ring, the army almost does not require logistics supplies. Strangely, it is carried tens of thousands of cages and is dragged to the front line by the monsters.
At the junction of the Demon Realm and the Human Realm, the generals dragged out one prisoners and buried them alive in the ground, leaving only one head outside.
These prisoners were men and women, old and young. Some cried bitterly, some cursed, and some were silent. However, no one begged for mercy, and there was no such thing as sympathy in the Demon Realm.
The march and bury all the way, it was like planting a tree, leaving behind a tragedy all the way.
The territory of the Demon Realm breaks through the junction area. If you look down from a high altitude, it will be like a huge arrow, penetrated directly into the Black Cloud City.
These prisoners are "sinners" in the Demon Realm, either framed by conspiracy, or are cowardly and incompetent, or are simply victims of war, and they have one of the most common crimes for good people.
As the demonic land penetrates into the human world, it is no longer enough to just bury alive.
The witches began to set up altars, escort prisoners to the altars, and executed them with torture under the watch of the soldiers.
Screams came one after another, as if torn apart the sky.
The witches and prayers are skilled in their craftsmanship, so that prisoners can feel the greatest pain without losing their lives quickly. This torture often lasts for days and nights, and can only be accomplished with the assistance of several apprentices.
The most wise Wu Zhu can cooperate with different equipment and techniques to make the tortured scream differently, giving the bystanders an ultimate spiritual experience.
As a result, two major factions were formed, the "experimental faction" and the "expressional faction".
The experientialists believe that they should focus on torture itself, give the "sinner" the greatest painful experience, and should not perform like a clown to please those stupid audiences.
The expressionist believes that there is only one "sinner" but hundreds of audiences, which one is more important than that. It goes without saying that. The experienceist is just a group of sadists without a sense of responsibility and mission.
By the way, there is also the "method faction" that invents new torture and torture instruments, which are too conservative of form and are not valued.
This scene that makes people go crazy. However, the demons were all excited and stared at it. Some were intoxicated and amazed.
"Oh, this trick is so wonderful! This guy's voice is good, and his screams are coming one after another, and he is gentle and loud. Tsk tsk!"
Suddenly, a demonic citizen reported: "Report to Lord Wu Zhu, I couldn't bear to look at Zhou Chu when he saw him. After all, he had a conscience!"
"Ah, Lord Wu Zhu, I have no conscience! I have no conscience! I am hungry when I see it."
Wu Zhu glanced at him coldly and threw a burnt hand down the altar.
Zhou Chu pounced on him and ate it voraciously: "The meat of a good person is delicious!"
"How dare you say that the meat of good people is delicious. Is it bad for us evil people?"
"No, that's not what I mean."
"I would like to ask Lord Wu Zhu to sacrifice this 'pseudo-villain' to the Demon Heaven!"
"Sacrifice! Sacrifice!"
The demons rose and approached with a low smile on their faces, and were strangely distorted.
"ah!!!"
So another "good guy" hidden in the evil team was discovered and eliminated, and morale became increasingly strong.
Taking 100,000 "good people" as sacrifices, the army quickly advanced towards Heiyun City.
Although the territory opened up in this way is only temporary, as long as it is pushed to the city of Heiyun, the demons will fight on the ground, gain huge geographical advantages, and avoid being sneak attacked by the enemy during the march.
This tactic is no longer a secret. One of the consequences of years of war is that everything becomes clear. All strategies and tactics have been used thousands of times. There is no need to deduce and analyze them on the map, and all possibilities have already happened.
There are a hundred ways to crack this tactic in the human world, and there are a hundred ways to counter it in the Magic Realm, so this tactic can continue to be retained and used.
Due to various limitations of actual conditions, the changes are often smaller than those of chess games.
Once the war begins, there is no room for any tricks to be used, and no heroes can turn the situation around casually. Only a bloody meat grinder is left, just looking at which side can stuff more flesh and blood.
Li Liehuo knew all this. The defense system of Heiyun City was based on the two legions of "Black Cloud Thunder Roar Formation" and "Liehuo Xuanwu".
The establishment of a legion is to better organize the flesh and blood and stuff it into this meat grinder.
Now that Chao Tianjiao is gone, the Xuanwu Legion is almost destroyed.
This is not only because of her strong strength, but more importantly, the Xuanwu Legion was established in her name and established great prestige in countless battles.
Only with prestige can one have a morale, and only with a morale can one have strength. It cannot be replaced by a true disciple.
The current situation is that if the flesh and blood of mortals are not stuffed into the flesh and blood of the practitioners, they can only stuff the flesh and blood of the practitioners.
Which practitioner is willing to do this? Ordinary monks don’t want to do so, and the true disciples can still suppress them. If the true disciples don’t want to do so, who can force them to sacrifice? Besides, even he, the "big brother", is not willing.
He even missed Chao Tianjiao a little.
At this time, the Fire Hall arrived.
The whispers in the Fire Hall gradually calmed down as his footsteps rang out.
All the true disciples politely said, "Senior Brother!"
When Li Liehuo saw them standing or sitting in groups, some leaning against the wall with their swords, and some simply sitting on the chairperson's table, only Ge Xing sat upright. He couldn't help but frowned and ordered: "Sit down!"
Everyone sat down one after another. Even though they were preparing to question Li Liehuo, they were still intimidated by his majesty. The true disciples who had never been to Heiyun City felt that the atmosphere here was completely different from the true teacher hall.
"The army of the Demon Realm has probably set out. This time, I am determined to pull out Heiyun City. The scale of the attack will exceed any time in history. If you want to defend Heiyun City, please prepare for half of the people to fall here."
"What?! Half of the people fell? Senior brother, you are not kidding!"
The true disciples looked different, some were shocked, some were unbelievable, and some frowned and thoughtful. I never expected that Li Liehuo was so pessimistic.
Lotte played with a pair of dice with a playful look on his face. This was a good opportunity to gambling. He bet on whether Heiyun City could be kept. However, he didn't want to bear the anger of the "big brother", so he only added a sentence to Li Liehuo in his heart:
"It may not be possible for half of the people to fall, but that is the biggest damage you can bear."
Pi Yangqiu seemed to see through his thoughts and Chuan Nian said, "Haha, Lotte, this 'big brother' is still too young after all, which is an overestimation of their determination. I think it will be overwhelmed by one-third of the deaths. I have been too calm over the years, and there are not many old guys left who have experienced the war."
