"It seems that we can only find a place to settle the miners temporarily, and wait until the battle is over before talking about other things..."
Tao Xiaowu made up his mind that it would not be difficult to relocate these miners.
The land of Agulhas is quite fertile, especially the Zinselka area.
The Adlan people have built a large number of farms around here, and these farms are often very large in scale. Farms covering tens of thousands of acres are not considered too large.
Such a random farm is enough to house the miners who were deceived from China.
How to get a farm?
This is too simple.
Many farmsteads were raided by the Alfreds...
Even if he has never been raided, do you think Tao Xiaowu dare not kill anyone?
"Yeah, but it's best if this farm is a little more remote, so it's not easy to be discovered..."
These things are not difficult for Tao Xiaowu.
It was easy to find a farm whose owner had been driven out by the Alfreds and settle the miners.
The colonial farms here in Agulhas are all very large.
Although the domesticated livestock, cattle, sheep and other items in the farm were all taken away, the food was not moved.
They are all worthless potatoes and other items...
Some were set on fire, some were not.
Enough to feed these people for several years.
So settling in temporarily is not a problem at all.
Tao Xiaowu settled here, but the battle at Zinselka Castle became more and more intense.
The war between the two sides was in full swing, one attacking and the other defending, each shelling the other.
Hundreds of artillery pieces from both sides were flashing with flames, and shells hit the city walls and positions one after another.
Fortunately, the power of cannonballs in this era was limited, they were solid, and they would not explode.
Therefore, with the strong city wall, the Adlan people clearly have an advantage.
From a high position, the artillery fire had a longer range, and a cannonball hit one of Alfred's artillery groups, smashing the cannon into pieces on the spot.
The surrounding gunners were suddenly unlucky, and five or six of them were killed by the scattered artillery pieces.
This siege has lasted for more than ten days, and the entire battlefield is filled with dark clouds invisible to the naked eye.
That's evil!
The spirit of war!
This is the evil spirit that can only be created by war, especially tragic wars.
From a distance, Tao Xiaowu, who was lurking and observing more than ten miles away from the battlefield, had something in his mind.
As the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar approaches, every night, the material world becomes looser for longer and longer, and the looseness becomes larger and larger.
Every night, there are three or four hours of spell casting time.
Tao Xiaowu then remembered that his subordinates Bai He and others wanted to practice evil spirits.
And this Bingsha is a very powerful evil spirit!
I don’t care about that much at the moment, I need to gather some evil energy first...
With Tao Xiaowu's current methods and the powerful power of Yuan Shen, gathering evil energy couldn't be easier.
And as the two sides got angry, even the night fighting didn't stop.
Keep bombarding with artillery!
The muzzle flames exploded brightly in the dark night.
Just by inducing the Yuanshen, the Yin-Yang Bagua Mirror had already attracted the evil spirit of war and suppressed it.
"It's a pity that the battle was not fierce enough and not enough people died!"
Tao Xiaowu complained while collecting evil spirits.
What makes Tao Xiaowu a little regretful is that the battle was not brutal enough.
It would be better if more people die and more evil energy is created!
Tao Xiaowu himself was just watching the excitement and didn't mind that the matter was serious.
However, it is not wrong to say that in many cases, the evil spirits generated by hot weapon wars are not as strong as those in the cold weapon era.
In the age of cold weapons, the two warring parties were fighting hand to hand, filled with blood and murderous intent.
In addition, it is easier to affect innocent people and destroy production.
After the war, if the battlefield is not kept clean, plague will easily break out.
In short, it is normal for ancient wars to result in dozens or millions of deaths!
And if there is war all year round, tens of millions of people could easily die.
Of course, the reason why so many people died was not mainly the soldiers, but ordinary people who were affected in various ways.
In the era of thermal weapons, although the destructive power is more powerful, it lacks the bravery of direct combat, and the brutality of guns and artillery from a distance is far less.
Coupled with the era of hot weapons and the advancement of science and technology, there are more and more restrictions.
The disasters after the war were not that severe.
On the contrary, it seems that ancient cold weapon warfare is becoming more and more cruel!
Therefore, it is no wonder that Tao Xiaowu complained about this battle and felt that the evil spirit was not enough.
However, he did not expect that as Tao Xiaowu continued to absorb the evil spirit, causing the evil spirit on the battlefield to weaken, something strange would happen!
The three rivers flowing through Zinselka Castle were boiling at this time, just like boiling water, and countless fish jumped out of the water.
"What's going on? Is there going to be an earthquake?"
Tao Xiaowu recalled the earthquake he experienced in Dayu time and space.
However, Tao Xiaowu soon discovered that it didn't seem like it.
Because Tao Xiaowu had the witch seal in his hand, he could feel that there were no drastic changes in the earth's energy.
So what is this now?
Then, Tao Xiaowu sensed an obscure divine power.
"There is divine intervention..."
The river began to flow backwards and then hit the city wall.
Tao Xiaowu was still thinking at first, maybe someone cast a spell to use the river water to wash down the city wall.
But then he realized that this was not about breaking down the walls of Zinselka Castle, but clearly about flooding the Alfred people...
Just when I thought of this, waves of huge waves came over, hit the city wall, and rolled towards Alfred's position.
Those Alfred people were immediately unlucky. Even the artillery weighing thousands of kilograms was washed away by these floods, let alone ordinary people.
This flood did not last long, only about a quarter of an hour at most, and the entire Alfred position was in shambles.
At least about a third of the soldiers were lost!
Alfred's people were frightened and began to retreat.
The Adlan people did not pursue them either. It was not because they did not want to pursue them, but simply because they were too ambitious and weak to do so.
What's more, the land outside the city is muddy, making it unrealistic to pursue them at this time.
"Interesting, the Adlan people actually colluded with the indigenous gods..."
Tao Xiaowu said secretly.
Why did he know that this was done by indigenous gods?
There is no other reason. It is very simple. Adlan and other countries in the Barrow continent all believe in the Father of Light.
But the obscure divine power that Tao Xiaowu noticed just now was obviously very unfamiliar, not the kind of bright holy power.
Of course, this didn't care about Tao Xiaowu. Seeing that there was no Bingsha Qi to continue collecting, he was about to leave.
Suddenly, I felt that the world between heaven and earth suddenly became silent, there was no sound anymore, and the time around me seemed to have stopped flowing.
