Jingzhou.
Here, it is already a long way from Northern Xinjiang. In terms of straight-line distance, from the wild mountains of Northern Xinjiang to Jingzhou, one needs to cross the territory of about twenty states.
From Northern Xinjiang to Jingzhou, most of the prefectures and counties along the way have been destroyed.
Wu Tie mobilized a large number of manpower from the Wu Kingdom, and even mobilized the transport fleet of the Baiji Chamber of Commerce, and tried his best to evacuate the people of the states and counties along the way, but it was still a drop in the bucket...
Even if Wu Tie used the Five Elements Divine Light to wipe away large areas of the people along the way, countless Qingqiu people still fell into the hands of the Snowfield tribe.
The men were killed and the women were robbed.
These people of the Snowfield Tribe don't even have the concept of raising slaves.
Large groups of men were killed mercilessly by them as sacrifices to the gods.
In the most urgent moment, Wu Tie even asked the manpower he transferred to move only the men from the states and counties along the way, leaving the women where they were.
After the news spread, everyone who heard about it was scolded.
Facing a powerful enemy, moving away the men and leaving the women behind... Such things undoubtedly violated some of the most basic social ethics of the human race, and inspired the bloody courage of countless passionate men in the Qingqiu Divine Kingdom.
Countless people are criticizing and abusing Wu Tie.
But Wu Tie... just pretended not to know.
The power he holds in his hands cannot resist the invasion of the Snowfield Tribe; the power he holds in his hands cannot move away all the people. No matter how incompetent, frustrating or unethical this thing seemed, Wu Tie still did it.
If those men were left behind, the Snowy Tribe, which had no slave-holding tradition, would kill them all, so Wu Tie could only evacuate them first.
Leave those women behind... they will suffer humiliation, great humiliation.
But Wu Tie, who comes from the underground world, firmly believes that only life is the most important. Outside of life, everything else is just an add-on. These people in the surface world, especially those who criticize and abuse Wu Tie, have never lived in that dark rock world.
They have not yet truly understood the value of life.
"King Wu...you bastard!"
In Jingzhou City, on the north gate tower, Wu Tie stood leaning on the railing, looking at the looming blue ice crystals in the distance.
Under the city wall, dozens of elders and celebrities from Jinzhou City cursed angrily at Wu Tie while vomiting blood. Wu Tie has issued a relocation order, and there are hundreds of large and small warships waiting outside the city.
However, these hundreds of warships, large and small, could only move away the men from Jinzhou City and two or three surrounding cities.
Women, they still have to stay...
The resources under Wu Tie's control were limited, and he could only mobilize so many warships and transport ships. With so many people in prefectures and counties having to be relocated, the ships he had were already stretched thin and not enough for use.
He had done his best, and he could only do his best to save the lives of these people.
But the number of ships is not enough... Every day, a large number of ships are destroyed by the raiding snowfield warriors.
The transportation capacity is decreasing every day... and in order to prevent the raids of the Xuan Ming Ancestors, space doors everywhere are being closed one after another. It is becoming more difficult and dangerous to transport the people of the northern states and counties to the south.
Wu Tie seemed calm and composed, but in fact his mouth was full of blood bubbles, which were all washed out by the anger in his heart.
But these village elders and celebrities could not understand what Wu Tie did.
"You all go to hell, all of you go to hell..." In addition to these old people standing under the city wall, cursing and vomiting blood, there are more tragedies happening in the city.
In various mansions, there are elders in the family, armed with sharp knives, threatening the women to either hang themselves from a beam or drown in a well.
The head of a wealthy family even had pots of highly poisonous concoction brewed, gathered the women in the clan, and forced them to drink a bowl of concoction, or even force-fed them.
"King Wu, you are devoid of virtue and incompetence, and you are not worthy of being a king... Where is your 'wu'? Warriors protect the family and the people, where is your 'wu'?" A famous Jingzhou man with long robes and a high crown stood in front of him. Under the city wall, people screamed at the top of their lungs: "You leave the women of each family to those snowy barbarians... you, you, you..."
"Where do you place the dignity of each family and clan?"
Wu Tie stood on the city gate tower, his body as stiff as a mountain, just looking coldly at the approaching ice crystals from the north.
The dignity of every family
Is it the dignity of you, the intellectuals of all families and races
Wu Tie raised his right hand and waved lightly: "Strict investigation will be carried out. Anyone who dares to kill a woman in the clan will be executed."
Wu Tie's voice resounded throughout Jingzhou City: "I am incompetent, unable to defend the territory and resist the powerful enemy, so I can only make this decision... You all think that those who are capable, able to turn the tide and resist the powerful enemy, can wear armor. , carry weapons, and fight alongside this king.”
Grinning coldly, Wu Tie said faintly: "Perhaps you can delay the enemy for a moment or two... Perhaps, during the time you have been desperately resisting, I can think of a way to transport the women of your clan to the south?"
The whole city was dead silent.
The village elders who vomited blood and cursed angrily, and the celebrities who quoted scriptures all shut their mouths.
Women in the clan are related to honor and integrity. They will never tolerate the loss of reputation.
But compared with the life and death of one's own family... How can the reputation of the little women in the clan be compared with the lives of the men who support the family
For a long time, in a certain mansion, a handsome scribe holding a steel knife and forcing his wife to drink a bowl of concoction suddenly threw the steel knife to the ground.
"Scare, from now on, don't say that you are someone's wife...Scare, what's the problem for a real man without a wife?" The handsome scribe waved his hand in a cool way, turned around and ran towards the door in a big step: "Here, escort. Master, please board the ship quickly... This King Wu is totally unreasonable. Master, I still want to hang out with those mud-legged people and squat in a big warehouse?"
"Scare, sir, shouldn't a celebrity like me, who is well-read in poetry and books, and has world-wide knowledge, enjoy a separate cabin?"
"Scared, King Wu's head is broken. Sir, my female family members...can't, can't they have the slightest preferential treatment?"
"In this world, what if thirty to fifty thousand of those mud-legged ones die? Master, can't my women...can't I give them preferential treatment?"
Wu Tie stood on the city gate tower, and the power of his soul enveloped the huge Jingzhou City. He could clearly see and hear everyone's words and deeds inside and outside the city.
Wu Tie couldn't help feeling weak after hearing the words of this handsome scribe who was quite famous in Jingzhou City and whose family had served as high-ranking officials in Jingzhou City for generations.
What is it that he wants to protect
What is it that he wants to protect
Is what he did right or wrong
Wu Tie clasped his hands tightly on the guardrail of the city gate building, and dug his fingers deeply into the metal railing. Countless lines rolled over Wu Tie's body. His whole body turned into pitch black, and a terrifying aura emanated from his side.
The entire city gate tower, together with most of the northern city wall, was suddenly and silently annihilated.
All the bricks and tiles, all the guardrails, were swallowed up and transformed by Wu Tie's body, turning into the energy of heaven and earth, becoming wisps of pure mana.
life.
chastity.
Human ethics.
Morality.
The ice crystals to the north are getting closer and closer.
They will kill all the men and kidnap all the women. If a man falls into their hands, he will surely die. Women will suffer humiliation in their hands, but their lives are generally worry-free.
Is Wu Tie's choice right or wrong
This put the pressure on Wu Tie a hundred times greater than fighting the six Xuan Ming Ancestors at the same time.
There was a low cracking sound in his body, and uncontrollable mana was raging. Wu Tie opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood.
The heavy plasma fell to the ground, and with a "boom", a large crater was opened in the plain north of Jingzhou City that was hundreds of miles in diameter and several miles deep. All the village elders and celebrities in the city shrank their necks and ran away quietly.
They have seen the ice crystals approaching from the north, and they have heard the shouts of the snowfield warriors pulling the ice sculptures.
Or... run for your life!
Wu Tie shook his head vigorously and asked in a deep voice: "Qingqiu City, is there any reply? I have sent you my military information for several days, but there is no reply at all? Where is Linghu Qingqing? Where is Gongyang Sanli? They Your skull is broken? What are you still planning now?"
Wu Tie's roar contained a bit of violence and cruelty that had never existed in the past.
The lives and deaths of countless people, the honor and disgrace of countless people.
And, this is a battle with no hope at all.
Also, after this battle, Wu Tie may receive infamy all over the world.
Wu Tie's temperament was changing rapidly. The boundless pressure, boundless anger, boundless anxiety, seven emotions raging, and six desires overflowing, forged and burned his heart over and over, becoming more and more angular, and more and more sharp. More and more ruthless.
This is a world without reason.
If you want to survive with the people around you, you have to be more ruthless than this damn world.
If you want to lead a group of sheep against a group of jackals, you must be more ruthless and cruel by the jackals, otherwise you will be the first to die.
A strong wind howled, and Tao Di, who was sent by Wu Tie to deliver a message to Qingqiu City, and was born in the Tao clan of the Great Wei Dynasty, ran back with a pale face.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
With a thud, the pirate fell to his knees heavily, his face as pale as paper, his body swaying, and his whole body was dripping with cold sweat. His energy was exhausted and he might faint at any time.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... is not... the late emperor... nor... that old thief Linghu Qingqing. He abandoned Qingqiu Divine Kingdom and ran away!"
"He sacrificed the people of dozens of prefectures in his own fiefdom, took away the property of the national treasury and thousands of prefectures, and took with him the Linghu clan's people, his Linghu clan's private army, and his family members... Ran away."
"He, he abdicated the position of God Emperor of Qingqiu Divine Kingdom to Gongyang Sanlu."
"Gongyang Sanlu refused to ascend the throne and had a big quarrel with the ancestors of the generals in Qingqiu City for several days. Now the Qingqiu court is in chaos... without a leader... and it is completely chaotic."
Wu Tie's eyes widened, he turned his head and stared at Pirates fiercely.
Knowing that Robbery Di was innocent, Wu Tie still roared, rushed forward and stomped on Robbery's chest hard. The kick immediately shattered a large section of Robbery's ribs, and a mouthful of blood spurted out far away.
Wu Tie, whose heart was rising, also spurted out a mouthful of blood. While panting, he asked in a hissing voice: "Linghu Qingqing, escaped?"
"Gongyang has second thoughts and refuses to take over?"
"Requesting that the city be left without a leader?"
"I-think-of-his-old-mother, those bastards, are they considered a 'group of dragons'? A group of clowns, a group of grass snakes, a group of bastards who don't know what they are called!"
Wu Tie pointed at the sky and the earth and cursed loudly.
Wu Tie originally hoped that Linghu Qingqing would have some trump cards.
Very well, Linghu Qingqing ran away.
Wu Tie originally thought that Gongyang Sanli had some clever plan.
But this guy is so irresponsible.
One runs away and the other scapegoats. Since you two have such good character, you have been fighting for power with each other for so many years, and you have plotted to harm each other. Also, when you teamed up to seduce Sima Wuyou... what on earth are you planning
A ball of flame spurted out from his throat, burning a mouthful of blood into smoke. Wu Tie said in a hoarse voice, "Tell me carefully, what exactly happened in Qingqiu City?"
In the distance, a ten-thousand-foot-tall ice sculpture was roaring towards us, less than three hundred miles away from Jingzhou City.
Wu Tie suddenly roared, his eyebrows opened, and thousands of chaotic divine thunders in the void turned into large waves and blasted out. The mana in the body was poured out, and the ice sculpture emitted a dazzling cold light, turning into a light beam with a diameter of a hundred miles and buckling on the ground.
The Chaos Divine Thunder roared down, and the huge explosion shook the earth.
The tens of thousands of snow warriors dragging the ice sculpture were so shaken that their legs trembled and fell to the ground. On the road behind the ice sculpture, millions of snow atom citizens followed were covered by Wu Tie's wild thunder. The lightning flashed, and countless The snowfield warriors were instantly wiped out.
A cold light flashed on the ice sculpture, and the three Xuanming Ancestors teleported over out of thin air, waving their claws and roaring at Wu Tie.
These days, they have fought against Wu Tie several times. Seeing Wu Tie blocking the way again, the three Xuan Ming Ancestors hesitated in the void for a while.
After a few breaths, the other three Xuan Ming Ancestors also teleported over. The six Xuan Ming Ancestors came together, and their morale and courage soared. Side by side, they strode towards Jingzhou City rushed over.
"Martial King Huo Xiong, you will definitely die here today!" The six Xuanming Ancestors had fought with Wu Tie several times. They already knew the origin of Wu Tie's name and immediately roared his name to challenge him in public.
Pirates knelt on the ground and explained the situation in Qingqiu City in the past few days as quickly as possible.
Wu Tie's face was extremely gloomy. He turned around and looked coldly at the six Xuan Ming Ancestors who were charging towards them.
Wu Tie alone could barely contend with these six old guys. No one could do anything to the other, but Wu Tie was at a disadvantage and often retreated injured.
Elsewhere, on the long northern front, there are twelve old ghosts with the same cultivation and the same strength, who are commanding countless snowfield warriors to attack madly. In front of them, the ancestors of the God Realm of Qingqiu Divine Kingdom were vulnerable. The army of Qingqiu Divine Kingdom had long been beaten to pieces. Except for the fleet sent by Wu Tie to help retreat, there was no longer an organized legion.
Wu Tie took a deep breath.
"Go and help retreat... Linghu Qingqing ran away, Gongyang Sanxi was afraid... I will take care of the mess in Qingqiu Divine Kingdom."
"Even if there is a lot of infamy... Haha... If you want to play, I will play with you to the end."
Wu Tie raised his head and took a sharp look at the extremely high sky.
