Hundreds of wooden stakes were set up in front of the arc-shaped formation. It was a spectacular sight.
On the city wall of Fengshan County, the Star Nation players were surprised. They didn't know what tricks the enemy was going to play. Then, they saw their captive companions being violently dragged out of the captive camp and tied to the stakes one by one.
"People above, listen up. If you're a man, leave the city immediately and fight to the death with us. Otherwise, we'll execute all these captives. Don't blame us for being merciless, "the soldiers shouted at the top of the city wall at Pei Donglai's signal.
The Star Nation players were in an uproar. They were furious.
"Bastard!" someone cursed.
…
"Butcher!"
…
The Star Nation players used all kinds of vulgar words on the East Army. However, they couldn't really leave the city. Chen Guang's authority was hard to be shaken.
Moreover, more than 70% of the players in the city were members of the Temasek Mercenary Group. They didn't dare to disobey Chen Guang's orders. They could only vent their anger by cursing.
Pei Donglai's eyes turned cold. He waved his hand at the gunner team that was already ready.
"Ready!" The captain of the gunner team immediately ordered. "Shoot!"
"Pa!" "Pa!" "Pa!" "Pa!" A series of gunshots rang out. The ten captives on the far left were all shot dead.
"…"
The city wall of Fengshan County was silent.
The Star Nation players didn't expect the enemy to be so decisive.
"People above, listen up. We don't want to waste our breath. Every ten minutes, a person would be executed. If you're willing to watch, then stay in the city and be cowards! "
The East Army's voice sounded again.
"Haha!"
The soldiers cooperated and laughed unscrupulously.
This was already the last warning. Coupled with the execution just now, the power was obviously different from before. The Star Nation players on the city wall suddenly became restless. They didn't know what to do.
"Go and report to the commander!" someone suggested.
"Okay!"
After a while, Chen Guang, who had already returned to the Lord's Mansion, received the news. Beside Chen Guang were the Lord of Fengshan County and the four higher-ups of the mercenary group.
The others were silent when they heard this.
"These bastards, they actually thought of such despicable methods." Someone cursed.
Knitting his brows, Chen Guang coldly said, "I heard that the World Without Clothes has a pretty good reputation in the country. Why are his subordinates so weak?! "
"That's within the country. It's a war right now. Of course, he's unscrupulous," said the Lord of Fengshan County.
"Leader, what should we do?"
Gritting his teeth, Chen Guang replied, "Endure."
"I'm just afraid that normal players won't be able to resist it." Someone was worried.
"Do your best to help everyone. This is the enemy's scheme, and we can't fall for it." Chen Guang said.
"Understood!"
Everyone nodded, but in their hearts, they were not confident.
How could such a thing be easily suppressed?!
In less than an hour, Fengshan County had already begun to riot. Every ten minutes, a comrade would be executed in front of them. This painful wait and helplessness was truly a torment. It was a great test of a player's willpower.
Even when the higher-ups of the mercenary group came forward to mediate, the situation was getting out of control. Especially the non-mercenary group members, they were even more furious. Following the suppression, their resentment toward the Temasek Mercenary Group surged in their hearts again.
Not only did the Temasek Mercenary Group not arrive to provide reinforcements, but they were also holing up now, which inevitably raised suspicions. The players' gazes toward the members of the Temasek Mercenary Group were filled with curiosity.
This made the normal members of the mercenary group feel very uncomfortable. They were originally loyal to the country, and they were filled with passion. At this time, not only did they not receive the recognition of their peers, but they also attracted suspicion.
Even the members began to waver on the decision of the higher-ups.
"One hour is up. Give them more food!" Pei Donglai ordered again. With the order, gunshots rang out, and another ten captives were killed.
What was even more shocking was that this time, it was ten women who were executed. Ten golden flowers withered in front of the formation. How sorrowful was this? How stirring was this scene?
Such behavior completely ignited the anger of the Star Nation players.
"I can't take it anymore." A young man stepped out from the crowd, drew out the long sword at his waist, and said loudly, "If you're a man, charge out with me. Even if you die, it's better than living like a coward now."
"What kind of man are you if you can't even protect women?" Someone echoed.
"We'll never live without purpose!"
"Everyone, calm down. Don't be impulsive!" The higher-ups of the mercenary group came out again to mediate.
Unfortunately, it was not calm this time, but an even more violent storm.
The young man who jumped out first pointed his long sword at the nose of the higher-ups of the mercenary group. His face was full of mockery, and he said angrily, "If you want to be cowards, we can't do anything about it. But a bunch of cowards, what right do you have to lead us? You want to order us around? "
"That's right!" A middle-aged man jumped out. There were still scars on his face. He looked around, grinned, and said, "A bunch of cowards who have never been on the battlefield. I'm ashamed to be associated with you!"
The players' dissatisfaction with the Temasek Mercenary Group completely exploded.
"We're not cowards!" The mercenary group members tried to defend themselves, but their words were unusually weak.
The two sides almost fought in the city.
It was the life profession players who came out to mediate the situation that finally calmed the chaos. Even so, there was already a gap between the two sides that was difficult to heal. It was difficult for them to walk together again.
"Brothers, let's kill our way out and save our compatriots!" The players who had survived the previous battle were ready to enter the battlefield again without any hesitation.
Tens of thousands of players ignored the dissuasion and set out again. They knew that this trip was fraught with grim possibilities, but they still bravely went to their deaths. As the soldiers walked, they sang the war ballad that had been passed down for thousands of years.
"Through the mountains, through the rivers, we've come here!"
"The sharp sword has been unsheathed, the blood has been ignited!"
"Warriors, you're destined to create miracles!"
"Don't be afraid, don't hesitate, follow me to kill the enemy!"
"…"
"Girl from afar, who's thinking of you!"
"Who's shielding you from the wind and rain!"
"If I die, please don't cry for me!"
"If I die, please bury me in this land that I love so much!"
"…"
"The loyal soul is inextinguishable, building dreams as a ladder!"
"The fearless warriors will rise again in the Kingdom of Heaven!"
"The country is immortal, and life is inextinguishable!"
"The unyielding will is the secret of eternal life!"
…
On the city wall, countless female players were already sobbing, silently sending their heroes off.
The sound of crying spread throughout the entire city.
The members of [Temasek Mercenary Group] were all moved, and their expressions were unusually complicated. In their eyes, there was shame, passion, and unspeakable pain.
Even the higher-ups of the mercenary group were silent.
The entire city was shrouded in such a tragic atmosphere, which would only appear during a national war.
In the end, war was a human war.
Only when the players realized that everyone in a war was a living life, would they truly understand the cruelty and mercilessness of war.
A national war was no less than a real war.
Respecting the natives was respecting life, and also respecting oneself.
…
The army of over ten thousand mutants was undoubtedly tragic.
The army of Shanhai City would not be merciful just because of the tragedy of the other side. However, the expression on Governor Zheng He's face was unusually complicated. It was obvious that he had not fully adapted to the cruelty of war.
The players of Star Nation, who were tied to the wooden stakes, heard the familiar war song, and tears streamed down their faces. They hysterically shouted toward the opposite side, "Brothers, don't come here to die, it's not worth it!"
"Brothers, you've done enough, we can die without regrets!"
Similar words were constantly heard.
"Through the mountains, through the rivers, we've come here!"
"The sharp sword has been unsheathed, the blood has been ignited!"
"…"
The war song was played over and over again. The mutant army stepped to the beat, facing death calmly, and attacked the front with a rock-solid will.
"Fire!"
The archers started the first wave of attack.
"Fire!"
The cannons came one after another.
In an instant, the mutant army suffered heavy losses. Even so, they still did not retreat, and resolutely ran toward the wooden stakes, determined to save their compatriots from the disaster.
The scene was extremely shocking.
"Don't tell me you're just going to watch them die like this? Aren't you afraid of being punished by your conscience? " On top of the city wall, countless female players could not help but scold the members of the [Temasek Mercenary Group].
"…"
Countless men were ashamed.
"If you're not going, we'll go!" When the country was in danger, there were female heroes. The female players, even those who had no combat ability, were also prepared to join the battlefield.
"You can't go!" The members of the mercenary group stopped them. Letting a group of female players, who were also career players, go to the battlefield? That was simply an insult to men.
"Get out of the way!" The women were no longer polite to the members of the mercenary group.
"F * ck!" A man could not help but curse. "I can't take it anymore. Even if I'm kicked out of the mercenary group, I can't stand here and watch my compatriots die!"
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples.
Finally, the tense nerves of the players were completely broken.
Seeing that someone had taken the lead and broken the shackles, it was like toppling dominoes, causing a tsunami in the city. Countless members of the mercenary group disregarded the dissuasion and resolutely joined the battlefield.
In fact, Chen Guang and the others had already lost the restraints on their members.
This great war had finally ushered in the most crucial battle. Regardless of the outcome, Zheng He had accomplished the task that he had shouldered. The first round of the war to destroy the nation was successfully completed.
In the lord's residence, Chen Guang's face was pale.
"Star Nation is finished!"
Waves of pain flashed in Chen Guang's eyes. Who could understand the pain of not being understood?!
