"Powerful weapons are also powerful in influencing wars. The cultivation level of our soldiers is actually not much different from that of the Scorpion Warriors. They are almost on par with them. Reasonable tactics, powerful weapons, shields, spears, divine crossbows, and well-trained troops are the real reasons why we can easily win this war. Without these, facing the Scorpion Army, the casualties would definitely increase exponentially."
Wu Yong's eyes narrowed and he spoke slowly.
They killed more than 20,000 Scorpion people, but only suffered a few hundred casualties, less than a thousand. In comparison, the casualties can be said to be pitifully small. At any time, it can be said to be a glorious victory.
A large part of this result comes from the power of war equipment.
Without the divine crossbow, the powerful bone bow, rune arrows, rune bombs and other items, the price to win and the casualties would be greatly increased, reaching a level that is unbearable.
These weapons and equipment are also a reflection of strength and a symbol of power.
"It's not strong enough, otherwise there wouldn't be hundreds of casualties."
Yi Tianxing took a deep breath and shook his head slightly.
If possible, he hopes that the various weapons he produces can become more powerful. In that way, the army can become stronger, and there will be fewer casualties in fighting, or even no damage at all, which can end a battle.
"There is no such thing as soaring to the sky in this world. My lord, you have achieved this in a short period of time, which has surpassed most people. At least in the vicinity, you can stand at the top. Moreover, now is the time when the Eternal Continent was just born. Any advantage can be transformed into a solid foundation that will last forever."
Wu Yong said with full confidence.
Although I am not very clear about this world, I cannot change the fact that all forces have been broken. There are no rules, no dynasties, and no families. Everything has been disrupted and started over again. No matter if you are a high-ranking official or a royal family, or the second generation of an official or a rich second generation, if you don't have the ability, you are not even as good as a reptile. Only those with ability can stand out.
This is an era that values ability.
In this era, being one step ahead means being ahead at every step. Any advantage, if you hold on to it tightly, can become your capital.
In this era, you can't achieve anything by relying on your parents, nor can you be free and easy by relying on your parents. If you don't have your own abilities, you are leaving your life to the illusory fate, and you may die in the wilderness at the next moment.
Oneself is the foundation.
Just like Yi Tianxing, he built a solid foundation with his own hands.
"I don't know your name, benefactor."
At this time, an old man came out from among the pale and thin people. He straightened his clothes and wore a Confucian robe. The bookish aura on his body, even after being tempered, could still be seen at a glance. His behavior was polite and decent. He could tell at a glance that Yi Tianxing was a person of status here, so he stepped forward and asked.
"This is our Xuanhuang Town Lord, Yi Tianxing!!"
Wu Yong smiled and answered on behalf of Yi Tianxing.
"So it's Lord Yi. My last name is Zhou, and my name is Zhou Wenju. Thank you for saving my life. If Lord Yi hadn't led the troops here, I'm afraid that this time, the 100,000 people here would have died. They would have been sacrificed to the demon god."
When the old man heard this, a look of sincere gratitude appeared on his face, and he bowed deeply towards Yi Tianxing.
"Mr. Zhou, you are too kind." Yi Tianxing hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said with a faint smile: "We are all human beings. Now, our human race is in trouble, and we should support each other. After hearing the news that humans were imprisoned, how could I, Yi Tianxing, turn a blind eye and watch the people suffer here and become blood cannibals."
"This life-saving grace is higher than the sky." Zhou Wenju's eyes showed a courageous look.
Yes, if Yi Tianxing hadn't led his troops to attack, they would not be able to stand here now and would have died on the spot. This kind of favor is a real life-saving favor and there is no discount at all.
The feeling in my heart becomes stronger.
"Brothers and sisters, I am the Lord of Xuanhuang Town. Starting today, everyone will be saved. You can return to the town with the army in a moment. In my Xuanhuang Town, although I dare not say that I can definitely give you a stable life and a safe environment, I can give you freedom and dignity as a human being. Even the power to contend with fierce beasts and alien races."
Yi Tianxing looked at the pale and skinny people, his eyes flashed with determination, and he said slowly: "We humans are born weak and not as strong as other fierce beasts and aliens, but we have wisdom. As long as we have determination and perseverance, we can continue to become stronger. By that time, even aliens will be killed by our swords. Today the aliens feed on us, and tomorrow we can kill them with our swords."
"Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. I believe that although you are imprisoned and suffer physically and mentally, I believe that your hearts will not sink or be worn down, but will sharpen their edges."
Every word was transmitted and echoed in the underground space.
When these words fell into the ears of the people, one could see that the eyes of those people began to regain color and brighten up. A determination began to emerge in their eyes, as well as a strong hatred.
This is the hatred for the fierce beasts and alien races. Hate that one's own strength is not strong enough to kill these alien races with one's own hands.
The lost bloodiness began to gradually return, and a strong desire for strength emerged in his heart.
"We are human beings. Even if we are born weak, we will never allow ourselves to be slaughtered. Now we are being slaughtered easily in front of our human army. I also want to become stronger and be able to kill the aliens with my own hands."
"I want to join the army and become a soldier. Only by becoming a soldier can I become stronger faster. Even dying on the battlefield is much better than having my dignity trampled on and slaughtered at will by aliens."
"Even if I have to die, I hope to die on the battlefield, while fighting those beasts."
Shouts rang out among the crowd, emitting a strong fighting spirit.
"Clean up the battlefield, then leave the underground and return to the surface. Don't let go of any of the corpses of the Scorpion People. Take them away together. Since they dared to come, let their corpses and flesh become part of the Iron Blood Great Wall to atone for killing humans."
Yi Tianxing spoke quickly.
Without any unnecessary movements, after receiving the order, all the soldiers quickly began to clean up the battlefield. All the bodies on the battlefield were taken away without hesitation, and all kinds of swords were left without a single blade. The entire underground space was completely swept away like the Japanese invaders entering a village. Nothing was left.
Then without hesitation, he followed the passage and quickly returned the same way.
There were more than 100,000 civilians accompanying them on this trip.
Although these people were pale and skinny and almost had no strength due to hunger, at this moment, for some unknown reason, a force suddenly emerged from their bodies, supporting them to follow the army and move forward.
Ahead... is hope!!
Even if I have to crawl, I have to crawl out.
This is the power brought by an invisible belief.
... ... ... ... ... ..
In Xuanhuang Town.
In front of the underground passage, although the cleanup work in the town was still going on and a lot of rubble was being cleared away, during the operation, many eyes were unconsciously scanning towards the hole in the ground, with both expectation and worry in their eyes.
It seems that they hope to convey the latest news in it.
Just then, a figure walked out of the cave. It was a soldier with a murderous aura.
"They are our soldiers from Xuanhuang Town. They are back."
"Look, they are really back. There are so many soldiers, all coming out quickly. I don't know if we have won this battle or not, and what kind of enemy we are fighting against."
"So many people. Who are they? They look like ordinary people. They are all pale and thin. They must have suffered great hardships. They look just like we did when we were in the wilderness. They must have been found outside."
"So many, this number is too much, it looks like there are tens of thousands, or even more, and they are still coming out continuously. Is this a place where humans gather, or are they rescuing people from the aliens?"
"Quick, people from the Food Hall, light the fire immediately, set up a big pot, take out the white rice, cook white porridge, and put ginseng in it. Only one piece can be put in each pot. These newcomers are too weak and cannot be given a big tonic, only a warm tonic. Everyone, get moving. Don't let people look down on us from the Food Hall. These will be our brothers and sisters in Xuanhuang Town in the future. As a greeting gift, you must also treat them well."
Lai He spoke directly.
He asked the people in the food hall to immediately start a fire and cook.
Those who came out from underground were pale, without even blood. Their bodies were so thin that you could see the bones. It was conceivable that they could not fill their stomachs before. This time, they could not eat hard food. Drinking porridge was the most effective way to recover. Only by filling their stomachs could they recover their physical strength and vitality.
Of course, what needs to be cooked is not ordinary white porridge. Various warming and nourishing medicinal materials must be put in it. The meat of the ferocious beast must be cut into meat paste and put into the white porridge. This way, it can be better absorbed and restore strength. This is the specialty of the Food Palace.
In the blink of an eye, big pots were set up.
Bags of rice were brought out and put into the pot. In a blink of an eye, you could smell the fragrance floating in the air.
Gulu!!
Many people who stepped out from underground smelled the fragrance and looked at the big pots around them. They couldn't help but secretly swallow their saliva. A strong feeling of hunger surged in their hearts and appeared in their bodies.
Food is the first necessity of people, and no one can resist it.
