The new recruits and veterans in charge of the artillery position followed Bai Jin's magic circle and moved their gaze to the blue sky.
I saw a huge magic circle opening up in the sky above Benliang City, releasing dark clouds as thick as ink.
There was no lightning or thunder. A drop of black rain fell on the forehead of an old soldier guarding the artillery position. The new recruit next to him also stretched out his hand to catch a drop of black rain.
The two of them pinched the black raindrops with their index fingers and thumbs at the same time.
This black liquid is as viscous as eggs. When you smell it close to your nose, it smells a bit like rotten eggs. It is very pungent and makes people feel very uncomfortable.
Plop, plop, plop, more and more black raindrops fall from the sky.
The magician opened the defensive shield.
Looking at the black raindrops hitting the defensive shield, they were bewildered.
They all knew that this was magic that controlled the weather, but they had never seen such black rain.
General Scarle, a magician, also participated in the construction of defensive magic.
The black rain did not freeze because of the severe cold in Cerro Vorota, and it continued to fall.
An ominous premonition arose in General Scarle's heart, as if the black god of death was quietly approaching them.
The black raindrops falling from the sky are oil.
What Yang Yu was looking for in the swamp was a natural asphalt lake and underground oil that was surging along natural cracks and flowing out of the ground.
With the help of Iyas and the wild boar orcs, Yang Yu found the "oil seedlings" in the asphalt lake in almost no time.
As the blood of modern industry, oil is known to everyone.
When Yang Yu first saw the "oil seedlings", he was also very uneasy, but the quality of the "oil seedlings" they found was beyond their imagination.
Through the stone slab that sank to the bottom of the "oil seepage", Yang Yu could almost get the best quality oil that was almost not oxidized.
The untapped petroleum that mixes with mud and sand to become asphalt contains a lot of volatile combustible substances.
Just imagine it!
If the rain in the sky is crude oil, the drizzle will surely cause the substances in the oil to fully evaporate, and those flammable gases will surely spread throughout the city.
What would happen if a little Mars came at this time
It will inevitably cause unimaginable huge explosion and fire.
Just like a cigarette butt can trigger an explosion at a gas station.
Those are lessons learned through blood and tears.
Iyas stood up from Lothkar's body, and a special arrow had already appeared in her hand.
The tip of this arrow is coated with white phosphorus.
Yang Yu has done experiments on Iyas's sure-hit arrow.
When the arrow disappears, it is as if it has traveled through another dimension. The shooting speed and state remain basically unchanged, making it the most suitable arrow to ignite this "heavy rain".
When Iyas drew his bow and arrow, Yang Yu also took out a Molotov cocktail.
If the flame on Iyas's arrow disappears before touching the city wall, Yang Yu will take a second insurance policy.
However, before Iyas could release the string, a huge explosion was heard from inside Benliang City.
The embers left over from the lunch cooking by the Rose Empire's logistics staff helped Yang Yu and his team ignite this "heavy rain" in advance.
The Rose soldiers on the city wall were startled by the noise from inside the city. They turned around and saw endless flames rushing towards them.
As the flames spread, explosions occurred one after another in the city.
The rolling red flames looked like a demon.
The Rose troops, who had been well-organized on the city wall just now, suddenly became confused, dropped their weapons and fled in all directions.
Seeing this scene, Yang Yu was not very happy. He just clenched his fists and issued an order to Iyas:
"Do it."
Following Yang Yu's order, the arrow in Iyas's hand flew across the sky, creating a white smoke in the air.
Just as the arrow was about to catch fire, the entire arrow disappeared into the void.
When the arrow appeared again, the white phosphorus on the arrow head produced violent friction with the air, dragging out a long white flame.
Before the arrow even touched the wall, it directly ignited the surroundings of Benliang City.
A raging fire accompanied by an explosion quickly climbed along the city wall washed by black rain, engulfing the Rose soldiers on the city wall before the fire in the city engulfed them.
The shells used by the Rose Empire's cannons exploded under the scorching flames. Terrifying explosions rang out one after another, completely shattering the city walls. Pieces of flaming stones fell into the sea of fire outside the city.
The thick flames spewed out endless tongues of fire and released black smoke, which engulfed Benliang City in an instant and burned into the endless sky.
There was only a sea of red left around Benliang City.
In an instant, screams rang out one after another, and human figures ran around in the fire.
Some fell in the flames and turned into ashes; some jumped directly from the city wall, broke their legs, and were finally engulfed by the fire. Occasionally, a few soldiers escaped from the sea of fire, fell to the ground when they reached a place without fire, rubbed their bodies hard, and barely put out the flames on their bodies, but they were like charcoal and dying.
No one expected that in just a few minutes, the hellish scene would appear right before their eyes.
Seeing all this, the three orcs who were in charge of operating the memory crystals felt nauseous and almost failed to keep the memory crystals running.
At this time, they no longer had any hatred in their hearts, and all they had was pity for the Rose soldiers guarding Benliang City.
Putting away the Molotov cocktail in his hand, Yang Yu clenched his fists, his nails digging deeply into the flesh.
He looked towards the flames in Benliang City, not knowing what to say.
Although he had already prepared himself mentally, he still couldn't help but feel shaken when he saw such a cruel scene before his eyes.
He raised his clenched hands, then slowly loosened them. Yang Yu could see that his hands were trembling slightly.
The tremor in his hands was like a disease, spreading from his palms to his arms, from his arms to his shoulders, and from his shoulders to his chest.
Yang Yu raised his other hand and pressed down the trembling hand tightly, and the trembling stopped.
Instead of looking at the fire in front of him, Yang Yu looked up at the boundless sky, muttering to himself:
"If you still have a little compassion.
It's time to come out.
If it was any later, this time, who knows how many people would have died."
As if in response to Yang Yu's expectations, a crack tore through the sky without warning.
A huge red dragon crawled out from the crack, flew over Benliang City, opened its mouth, and spewed out white dragon breath.
The flames that engulfed Benliang City gradually slowed down under the influence of the white dragon's breath, and finally slowly went out, leaving only a few flames still burning stubbornly.
