Despite the protection of the iron wall, the villagers of the Village of Peace still sensed the shuddering.
Counting the old, the weak, the women, and the children, there were only a few thousand of them. It was impossible for them to defend the long red line that pierced through the city ruins.
There were too many sinners in the dozens of villages on the other side. Even though most of the sinners were as skinny as living skeletons, the dim green light beaming out of their eyes alone was enough to frighten anyone who saw it, and they could barely hold their weapons properly.
"Prepare for battle. Everybody, put down your assets and pick up your weapons. Prepare for battle!"
Zhao Chong and his' Iron Blood Youths' were shouting in the city ruins in single shuttles, distributing bundles of chainswords and clubs that were enshrouded in high-voltage electric arcs to the hands of the old people and the children.
Li Yao vaguely heard the intense quarrel between 'Sky Breaking Hammer' Gu Zhengyang and 'Blood Eagle' Zhao Lie from the command tower. Thinking of something, he said to Han Te and the Coloured Glaze in a low voice, "Let's go up and take a look."
When the three of them moved forward, the crowd on the other side of the red line moved a little further.
On the command tower, the argument between the village leader and the captain of the exploration team was already too intense to be concealed.
Gu Zhengyang shouted, "Hurry up and throw two hundred boxes of assets over with our catapults. Ask the village leader on the other side to come out and talk to him. Tell him that, if he is willing to retreat, we will give him another two hundred boxes of assets at dawn. I guarantee it with the name of 'Sky Breaking Hammer'!"
'Blood Eagle' Zhao Lie, however, bulged his eyes and bellowed, "Leader, are you out of your mind? Those assets were all blown over by the wind. They are the gifts that the angels have given us. How can we spit out the fat meat that has been stuffed into our throats?"
Gu Zhengyang also raised his voice and bellowed, "You've seen the situation yourself. Those people have gone on a rampage and are no longer scared of death. How can we defend such a long red line? There will be dire consequences if they charge at us! "
"Even if we can't, so what? What's so dire about it?"
'Blood Eagle' Zhao Lie licked his lips and grinned hideously. "Our warriors are much stronger than theirs in the first place, and we've rested for such a long time. Look at those people. They will be blown over by a gust of wind. They are dreaming if they think that they can steal food from us!"
Gu Zhengyang grew anxious. "How many people will die?"
'Blood Eagle' Zhao Lie bellowed, "People are dying in the Land of Sins every day. Either they die, or we die! Do you think a few hundred boxes of supplies can fill the stomachs of these people? "No, it will only make other people think that you are weak and vulnerable, and they will be more and more greedy. The prestige of the Village of Peace will be ruined!
"I guarantee that after you give them four hundred boxes of assets today, not a single village will be scared of the Village of Peace tomorrow. Everybody will consider us to be a piece of meat without bones, and everybody will want to take a bite out of us when they have the chance!
"The safety of the Village of Peace can only be ensured by making them fear us and hammering the fear into the bones of those b * stards!"
"They won't be afraid of us."
Gu Zhengyang's voice softened. "Look at them. They have turned into rabid dogs!"
"That's right. They are just a bunch of mad dogs. Naturally, they won't be afraid of us now."
'Blood Eagle' Zhao Lie sneered. "However, when I crush their skulls, those rabid dogs will naturally know fear."
"Zhao Lie —"
"There's no need to say anything else. Leader, this is your greatest shortcoming. Indecisiveness! You were the one who set the rule, 'If others don't offend me, I won't offend them. Those who cross the red line will be killed'. You were also the one who gave me the command of this operation. Right now, I am the highest commander. Everyone must listen to my orders. Otherwise, not to mention you, even if it's my own son, I won't show any mercy. Those who disobey will be killed without mercy! "
'Blood Eagle' Zhao Lie bulged his eyes in fury and grabbed a bizarre-shaped cylinder. He roared thunderously, "Warriors of the Village of Peace, listen up! Defend our assets with your life. If the ignorant scumbags on our opposite side dare to cross the 'line of death', kill them all! “
Kill! Kill! Kill!
Kill! "The roars built a high wall on the red line like a thunderstorm.
If it were any other day, the sinners of other villages would've backed off in fear after hearing the roars of the muscular men of the Village of Peace.
But today, the glamorous bloody Flowers of the Other Shore seemed to have injected infinite magic into their bodies. The sound only stimulated them to howl even more shrilly.
BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!
Right then, dozens of feeble gunshots suddenly echoed from the ruins on the other side of the red line. Dazzling fireballs burst out of the searchlights on the Village of Peace's side. Then, the ground was caught in darkness.
All the searchlights were blown up instantly!
The ruins that were as bright as day were immediately covered in a dim mist of blood.
"Aooo!"
The gunshots were like fuses. The army of sinners on the opposite side launched a tide-like charge. The scene was a hundred times more shocking than the 'beast tide outbreak' in Li Yao's mind.
The individuals in the beast tide outbreak were all hideous demon beasts, but those who were charging forward crazily right now included white-haired old women and ignorant children!
The tide of flesh and blood crashed into the iron wall of the Village of Peace brutally.
Countless sinners were blown away while vomiting blood, but more of them rushed in through the gaps between the caterpillar tractors and the iron shields.
None of the warriors of the Village of Peace knew why the searchlights suddenly went off. The darkness multiplied their fear by ten times, and they were immediately mired in the swirl of crazy sinners.
With everything coming to this point, there was nothing else to be done. 'Blood Eagle' Zhao Lie and 'Sky Breaking Hammer' Gu Zhengyang both roared and smashed into the crowd like two burning shooting stars. The blast raised by the surging spiritual energy blew dozens of sinners away immediately.
However, whenever a sinner was blown away, two or even three more sinners would lunge forward in a hurry.
They did not even care if they could see the sun tomorrow. They only wanted to vent their fury that had been accumulated for decades on the villagers of the Village of Peace, even if they had to die together with the villagers.
"Master!"
"Dad!"
Han Te and the Coloured Glaze had never seen such a ghastly scene before. They were so anxious that their eyes were burning with fury, trying to rescue Gu Zhengyang.
Li Yao observed for a moment, but he simply said, "It's fine. Leader Gu's circulation of spiritual energy is much smoother than half a month ago. Those crazy villagers alone are not enough to hurt him. Let's go. We have more important things to do!"
The two little fellows were slightly dazed. They did not understand what could be more important when blood was flowing like a river near the red line.
However, after half a month, they were already convinced by 'Grandpa Yao' and knew that 'Grandpa Yao' must have his reasons. They jumped onto Li Yao obediently and allowed Li Yao to lead them to the other side of the city ruins after a long detour from the rear of the battlefield.
At this moment, everybody was rushing to the red line. Nobody could see them anymore. Li Yao boosted the caterpillar tractors to the maximum and rushed among the broken walls as fast as lightning. Still, he felt that the speed was not fast enough and simply entangled his spiritual energy into virtual anti-gravity rune arrays on the chassis.
Hiu!
Five pairs of weighted wheels flew up!
Although they were only half a foot above the ground, they were like hovercrafts that were free from the boundary of friction and the rugged terrain. Their speed was five times higher than before, and they did not let out the slightest rumble when the heavy caterpillar tractors were crushing them. Unhurriedly, they snuck into the ruins on the other side of the red line.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Beep! Beep! The night-vision crystal camera embedded on his shoulder uttered feeble adjusting sounds. Li Yao's telepathic thoughts, enhanced by the crystal camera, spread out like a tide, not letting go of any tiny gap and corner.
Very soon, he found the target.
"On your right, about three hundred meters away, in the third window on the fourth floor of the half-collapsed six-floor building, did you sense anything?"
Li Yao said casually, "You've received my intensive training for half a month. You should've achieved something by now. Consider this a special test. There are four targets in the range of eighteen hundred meters. Let's see how many of them you can eliminate!"
Han Te and Coloured Glaze looked at each other. They crouched at a corner of a small building and focused their senses for half a minute before they peeped at the building three hundred meters away.
It was not until half a day later that they discovered a feeble flash. They could not help but admire 'Grandpa Yao' even more for his keen senses.
"Got it, Coloured Glaze. Pay attention to my gesture …"
Han Te licked his dry lips. The metal rings on his right arm revolved quickly, triggering electric arcs that looked like swirls. He took out dozens of bullets the size of pebbles from his waist and shot them at the skyscraper on the opposite side brutally after they revolved at a high speed for a moment!
Hiu! Hiu! Hiu! Hiu!
They darted at the window on the fourth floor three hundred meters away like dozens of straight bolts of lightning.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
"Coloured Glaze, now's the time!"
The two little fellows rushed out.
Gunshots, explosions, exclamations, and noises of the collapsing building echoed nonstop. It was not until five minutes later that everything gradually died down.
The two little fellows crawled back, covered in dust, breathless. Their faces and bodies were stained with blood, but it was not their own.
"I'm sorry, Grandpa Yao. We only took down three of them. The strongest one got away!"
Han Te lowered his head and smashed his fist hard.
"Is it this one?"
A mechanical arm extended out of Li Yao's torso and dragged a body that was still warm over.
It was a man who was slim but had a handsome face. His bulging temples and his iron-like muscles suggested his capability.
But right now, there was a hole smaller than a chopstick on his forehead. His eyes were unfocused, and there was disbelief on his face.
"This is —"
Han Te and Coloured Glaze were both stunned. The guy had fled to the depths of the ruins half a minute ago, and they had watched him disappear into the darkness far away. How could he have been slain by Grandpa Yao in the blink of an eye and dragged back with his body?
