Chapter 839 Five-day ultimatum, return to Tianyuan!
Hazy rainy night.
Blood and water mixed together, staining most of the streets in Fenghuo City.
The air was mixed with a thick smell of gunpowder smoke and the lingering smell of blood, which went straight into the nose.
From the start to the end of Shenting's all-out attack, it only took one day and one night.
But their progress made everyone who knew the news dumbfounded and worried.
This is not a life and death battle between humans and aliens, but a chaotic war within humans.
Catalyzed by the general trend, encouraged by words, and bewitched by spies who have already penetrated the inside.
Many cities in the Dragon Banner territory did not launch frontal defense at all, but raised white flags and announced their surrender to Shenting.
This is the aftermath of the previous Seven Years War.
The survivors who can survive until now have no idea who the next lord is and which territory they will be in at the moment of life and death.
If you can’t survive today, how can you talk about tomorrow?
For example, at this time, many people in Fenghuo City were already hiding in buildings, packing their luggage in advance, ready to surrender and flee when the Shenting army came in.
But the strange thing is that the Shenting troops stationed themselves after arriving outside the city, entering a rare truce time.
Just pairs of eyes and lines of sight, but now they are all focused here.
Waiting for the final trump card of Longqi Territory to appear!
"The Holy Court coerced a large number of civilians into the city this time, forcing Long Qi to break this precedent so that they could occupy the nominal high ground in the future.
Although Long Qi has not been fooled yet, the attack has reached the final doorstep, how long can they endure it?"
In an underground shelter in the city, dozens of people sat around a round table, staring intently at the images coming back from the surveillance cameras outside the city.
The troops attacking Shenting were mainly divided into three camps.
One is a team of divine soldiers who have undergone genetic evolution and can still maintain their sanity.
The second is a human shield composed of a large number of irrational evolvers.
The third are civilians who came and plundered along the way.
The evolved human shields came first, and the team of magic soldiers and civilians were mixed together. Once the fight started, no one knew whether they were hitting the magic soldiers or ordinary people.
Therefore, Long Qi was at a loss from the beginning of this battle, and was forced into the current situation.
"Besieging but not attacking means that the benefits from capturing Fenghuo City are far less than surrounding it. What must the Divine Court be waiting for?"
"No matter what, now the Five Elements Provinces have all fallen, and only the five major cities directly under the jurisdiction are still making the final resistance. So, we should know what the Divine Court is waiting for soon. I doubt it."
The man did not continue speaking, but a name popped into the minds of everyone present.
This time, Shenting did not directly attack the Tianyuan territory, but instead attacked the Longqi territory.
If the Dragon Banner Territory can withstand this offensive, then the situation in the New World will remain the same, and Shenting will have no choice but to think of ways to plan the next attack.
But if the Long Banner territory shows its decline and remains indifferent in the face of this siege, then...
Shenting can completely use tens of millions of civilians to slowly make a fuss in this occupied territory.
"The Tianyuan Territory is the last territory of mankind that has the strength to resist the Divine Court. If they use their righteousness to force them, this is simply a conspiracy."
"Yes, if the Tianyuan Territory wants to gather more survivors into the territory and fight against the Divine Court, it must occupy a moral high ground, but now, I don't know how to deal with this situation."
Sentence by sentence, the more the whole topic is discussed, the more pessimistic the atmosphere becomes.
Tianyuan Territory has everything, but what it lacks is a person with charisma who can convince everyone.
If Su Shen was here before, all he had to do was raise his arms and the survivors of the New World would not have to worry like headless flies not knowing where to go.
But it's a pity. Now it's time to see how much strength the Long Banner territory can still use to fight back.
If the counterattack is fierce enough, the pressure on the Tianyuan Territory will not be too great, but if the counterattack is not enough, the offensive pressure that the Tianyuan Territory will bear will be several times the previous one!
At this time, inside the Hope City Provisional United Front Building.
"What are you talking about? They want to use the last few cities in the Dragon Banner territory in exchange for letting us withdraw from the Sky Wall?"
Seeing the latest news coming back from Longqi Territory, Chen Shen suddenly turned pale and his face was so gloomy that water dripped from his face.
Propping up the sky wall, which consumes countless manpower and material resources, is the first and last barrier of Tianyuan territory.
With it, no matter how arrogant the outside evolutionists are, they must actually use their bodies to get through this line of defense.
But now.
Shenting actually wants to morally kidnap Tianyuan territory at the expense of a few cities and make way for the sky wall?
"Are they crazy? What do they think this is, playing house, or a game?"
"This is a war that requires bloodshed and sacrifice. Can these people survive if we let go of the sky wall?" Feng Tianmin slapped the table, shaking with anger.
"Tell him, it's impossible. Even if all the cities in the Long Banner territory fall, we will never let go of the sky wall!"
Click.
Feng Tianmin slapped the table hard and made a dent.
At the same time, there was a knock on the door from outside.
"No, Commander Feng, Mayor Chen, and the Shenting troops outside the Sky Wall suddenly attacked. They stopped five kilometers outside our wall and shouted."
"What are you shouting for?" The expressions of both of them changed at the same time.
"They claim that they have captured Lord Su in the Long Banner territory. If they want to survive, they will have to hold up the sky wall in exchange."
"In addition, they also said that they control the central cities in the five provinces of Long Banner. Based on a five-day cycle, if the Tianyuan territory does not release the sky-supporting wall for one day, they will randomly select a city and carry out large-scale massacre!"
Boom!
After listening to the staff's report, their eyes went dark at the same time, and their thoughts were as chaotic as thunder.
War often starts first with a war of public opinion, also known as a "war of hearts and minds."
Whoever can win the public opinion war, occupy the moral high ground, and muster the spirit of fighting will be regarded as having a good reputation in the following war, and can stimulate every soldier to display their extraordinary combat effectiveness.
But this time, Tianyuan Territory was undoubtedly in a state of great passivity.
Those evolutionaries who are hoarding outside the Sky-supporting Wall and have been slow to attack, their purpose is not to use their lives to fight against the Sky-supporting Wall.
Only now have they truly revealed their bloodthirsty fangs.
"Lord Su Chan is in the safest shelter in the Dragon Banner Territory. There, even if the entire Dragon Flag Territory is lost, the Divine Court will never have the strength to open the shelter door. I can be 100% sure that it is safe."
"But since they can say such things, it must be another trick of the Demon Soul Clan!" After the shock, Chen Shen took the lead to calm down and began to analyze the situation in detail.
"And since they dare to shout slogans to massacre the city, it means that they have chosen to give up their original position and stand on the opposite side of mankind. We may have a chance to win in the public opinion war!"
"And the five provinces and five capitals correspond to the five royal families."
Having seen the huge blood sacrifice formation pattern that was sent back before, the more Chen Shen thought about it, the more he felt that things were not as simple as he imagined.
The authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear.
Especially those who are in high positions and whose words and deeds can affect the territory.
From the beginning, I fell into a misunderstanding prepared by the other party, but there was no way to escape.
in this way.
"Contact County Magistrate Su and Commander Deben, we will convene a military meeting immediately!"
"The Sky Wall is the only line of defense for the territory. It is related to the life and death of millions of people. It is the last hope of mankind. It cannot be let go no matter what."
"In this case, within twenty-five days, the opponent will force us to reveal our trump card, so let's see who has the bigger trump card!"
Taking out the password suitcase under the work desk, Chen Shen had a rare look of cruelty on his face.
Unless the situation is desperate, no one would be willing to use this deadly weapon.
Even the Golden Eagle and the Fall of the North Land did not launch it towards the Evolvers' position.
We are all human beings, and everyone maintains the last trace of reason and does not want to see a tragic situation in which both sides suffer.
But if Shenting still wants to push further, then the next battle will reach the stage where each other's trump cards will really be revealed.
Winner takes all.
The loser retires!
On April 27, the ninth year of the last calendar year, the wind and rain that lasted for several days finally stopped.
Countless migrating teams set off again, and the tide of corpses rolling in the mud also resumed their movements.
Just facing the scorching sun above their heads, all the survivors who knew the current war situation were worried, some good and some bad.
The bad thing is that after twelve o'clock tomorrow night, it will be the end time of Shenting's first "Five-Day Ultimatum".
Tianyuan territory did not choose to let go of the sky-supporting wall, which meant that at least one capital city in the Five Elements Province would be besieged and massacred by Shenting.
And if they really take action.
Judging by time, since the last disaster struck, it has been nearly half a year since a new disaster struck the wasteland.
I'm afraid that before mankind can wait for the next disaster, there will be very few survivors left.
The good thing is that Tianyuan Territory's first frontal attack against Shenting finally resulted in a rare victory.
It is rumored that the president who led the Adventurer Association to defeat the three major territorial alliances joined the Tianyuan Territory and became the leader of the army.
Under his command, Tianyuan Territory only paid a price of less than a thousand people, and destroyed the position of 100,000 people in Shenting in one fell swoop, killing tens of thousands of enemies.
You know, this is still the result of a cold weapon battle in the divine power barrier.
Once there is no interference from the divine enchantment, allowing Tianyuan territory to fight with hot weapons, then Shenting will not have any strength to fight back.
As a result, the trend of public opinion in the New World gradually became polarized as the war situation changed.
In the battle for the "King of the New World".
One group supports the Tianyuan Territory to give up the Dragon Banner Territory and vows to defend the last piece of human land to the death. They cannot relax their defenses and let Shenting, a gang of ambitious human traitors, get the fruits of victory and take advantage of the aliens behind them.
One group supports the release of the Sky Wall, and the innocence of civilians. No matter who rules the New World next, if there is no population, he will be a bare commander. No matter how the two sides fight, they must ensure that the only survivors of mankind cannot die in the civil war.
Including the migratory team, Sumo could hear similar fierce quarrels every night when they rested.
But he didn't have any solution to such a quarrel.
After losing the identity of Su Shen, Su Youzong's people spoke softly, and at best they could only have some prestige in Tianyuan territory.
If you want to raise your voice, there will be a large number of responders.
At least in this ruins, it is completely impossible to achieve.
Fortunately, as he got closer and closer to Tianyuan's territory, Somo's anxious heart finally relaxed a little.
He couldn't wait to go to the place where the alchemy furnace burned seawater.
If the power of the ocean can really be used for burning.
Then, as Chen Shen said, it is time for everyone to reveal their trump cards.
The sun is scorching, and in the summer of the wasteland, the temperature has risen to the early 30s again.
On the first platform supporting the sky wall.
Chen Shen, Feng Tianmin, and Su Deben stood at the edge together, motionless, looking at the wall.
At this time, the large open space in front of the sky-supporting wall was filled with human heads everywhere, and the corpses left by Shenting were being carried.
In the sixth collision between Tianyuan Territory and Shenting, Tianyuan Territory once again won a great victory with the help of this high wall that was basically impossible to shake.
The opponent, on the other hand, could only leave tens of thousands of corpses behind and flee in despair, being defeated again.
"From last night to now, Shenting has continuously sent millions of zombie waves towards Houtu City. It seems that their plan is serious." Feng Tianmin said solemnly.
Tonight was the last day of the five-day ultimatum. Just yesterday, he secretly prayed that the other party would just say harsh words.
But Shenting's current behavior has directly proved that they just want to speed up and quickly reach the stage where each other's trump cards are revealed.
"Regardless of whether it is true or not, the population of our territory has now exceeded seven million. In recent days, it has been the peak period of migration. The population must soon exceed ten million, and the size is not half smaller than that of Long Banner Territory."
Chen Shen's eyes were red, and he held the railing firmly, suppressing his mind from thinking about the casualty figures that were constantly being reported back from Houtu City.
Under the tremendous psychological pressure these days, his biological clock has been completely disrupted.
As long as he lies down and closes his eyes every day, it seems that he can see countless ordinary people standing in front of him asking loudly: Why should he choose to give up on them?
Therefore, he could only comfort himself and deceive himself all the time so that he could feel a little better.
"Calculating the time, it's time for Su Youzong to come back, right?"
"If I had known earlier, I would have asked him to go with me. I didn't expect that I would set off later and arrive earlier than him." Su Deben shook his head and looked at the team entering the city under the sky wall.
He came here by water all the way, and I don't know if someone attracted his attention.
The ship sailed on the Changlong Xianjiang River without encountering any obstacles, and returned to Tianyuan Port easily.
"If I go with you, I won't be able to meet the director's father. It's worth it to waste some time to save people." Feng Tianmin forced a smile.
The consecutive victories are the only consolation for everyone.
In addition, Su Youzong's return is also something that everyone is looking forward to.
This "newcomer", who has only appeared in the territory for less than a year, has already cut through the night sky of the entire territory like a meteor.
His magic and various decisions are unique and no one can replace him.
From morning to now, the three of them seem to have just arrived, but in fact they have been waiting for a long time.
"Hey, another team has come, I don't know if it is"
At the end of the earth, from the far side of the sky wall, another long migration team of no less than ten thousand people came.
Su Deben pretended to be relaxed and picked up the telescope to take a look, but then he shouted in surprise: "Quickly, see if it's his team, and see if it's him sitting on the lizard!"
"Oh?" Chen Shen also looked happy and picked up the telescope to take a look.
Sure enough, in the distance in front of the team, dozens of mutant lizards were moving forward at the same time.
At this time, after a little recognition, the person sitting on the first lizard was none other than a legendary figure who is now almost regarded as a myth by countless refugees in the Tianyuan territory.
