Tomorrow's Ark is too real

Chapter 857 You've Got the Wrong Person

The final decisive battle has begun, and the army of infected people who stepped into the north is like a rainbow.

After capturing the four cities at the junction, Xia Feng directly led the elite team of infected people as the vanguard, piercing the hinterland of the north with a triangular formation like sharp knives.

With the full-scale battle of the army of millions of infected people, the weaknesses that have been criticized before are becoming more and more apparent.

That is the lack of execution and military tactics.

The infected people in charge of the command in the army are all temporarily selected, or recommended by people they are familiar with, such as from the same infected person concentrated area, from the same village and town, and so on.

Such small groups range from dozens of people to as many as hundreds of people. The huge army of millions is composed of such small groups.

In a total war, these groups cooperate with each other and achieve it, and there are often situations where they work independently or rush forward with one brain.

Of course, the truth of strength in numbers will never change. No matter how bad the tactical coordination is, an army of one million is still an army of one million.

However, this shortcoming will be immediately reflected in the number of casualties.

The imperial reserve soldiers who were defeated before retreated to the hinterland, and now they are stationed in various cities along the way.

There are more than a dozen medium-sized cities, each with an average strength of close to 2 troops. If you want to capture the city, you will have to pay a heavy price.

However, the matter has come to this point, and the psychological preparations for sacrifice have already been made, and no one will hesitate at this moment.

The elite team led by Xia Feng himself was powerful in combat, but the other army of infected people were not so brave. He knew very well how many people would die under the city every time they attacked the city.

Silver gray eyes looked at him complicatedly.

"Summer breeze."

"attack."

Without hesitation, Xia Feng gritted his teeth and issued a siege order for the infected team behind and on the flanks.

In this way, after going deep into the northern hinterland, the most tragic battle between the infected and the imperial army during the entire dark age began.

Xia Feng, who was always at the forefront, could not witness every siege battle with his own eyes. All he could hear was the number of deaths reported after the siege was over.

If you want to capture a city with 2 troops stationed, you will have to pay at least several times more sacrifices, which is unavoidable.

After a few days, 13 cities in a straight line were killed in a bloody battle, and the supply line from Ganan City to this point was still unimpeded.

However, the death toll of those infected has exceeded 30.

The northern sky was gray.

Because of the high frequency of sieges and marches, Xia Feng's eyes were already bloodshot. Of course, physical exhaustion could not defeat him. Perhaps the most deadly thing was the pressure in his heart.

Standing on the top of the city, there was a faint smell of blood in the wind.

After a few days, they sacrificed the lives of 30 people, and finally reached a position less than 400 kilometers away from Londinium.

Xia Feng didn't know how many 30 corpses there were, all he saw were cold numbers.

These people are not warriors or soldiers, they are just "people" living in Victoria before the empire ordered to kill them.

Some are fathers, some are mothers, some are others' reliance, and some are treasures in someone's eyes.

But now, because of his order, those figures that were regarded as treasures were ruthlessly torn apart by the war, and few people even knew their names.

Whenever a siege battle ends, Xia Feng seems to hear a voice in his heart.

[Is the death of these people really meaningful? 】

The reality is not so ideal, not all deaths are meaningful, and not everyone understands what Victoria he really wants to see in his heart.

Perhaps for some, the war was meaningless before it was over, at such a terrible cost.

However, he is not a god. What he can do is to make these sacrifices retain their final meaning, which is the success of the resistance.

Otherwise, he is an "eternal sinner".

At this moment, the northern city where Xia Feng is located is called Marin City, and it was captured in the evening.

For him, Marin City has another meaning that is not important but worth mentioning.

This city is the fief of the Mullen family, the first-level noble in the north.

That's right, the current Yuan Speaker of the Imperial Yuan Council, Maren Leffle, and the honorary advisor of the Royal Academy, Maren Legg, are all his old acquaintances.

This Marin City is the old nest of their Mullen family.

Of course, neither Speaker Leffle nor Mullen Leger was in Marin City at this time, and some were only family members of the Mullen family.

Perhaps it was unexpected that the army of infected people would attack so deep into the northern hinterland at such a fast speed, and the noble families in the city did not move.

Although Xia Feng has tried his best to restrain the behavior of the infected, not allowing them to harm the residents of the city.

However, some infected people still have extreme emotions in the face of such tragic casualties, which is human nature.

After the city was captured before, the noble mansions in the city would be turned upside down, and all supplies would be forcibly taken away to supplement military supplies.

The family members in the mansion will be gathered in the courtyard, shivering like chicks, and if they are unlucky, they may be kicked by infected people who are in a bad mood.

But this time, Xia Feng didn't let the infected person go too far because he saw a person after he stepped into the residence of the Mullen family.

It was his former classmate at the Royal Academy, Paddy.

Although Paddy is not a direct descendant of the Mullen family, he is still considered a member of the nobility. The empire was in turmoil, so he returned to the family's fief as a matter of course.

It's just that Paddy didn't expect that Marin City, which is located in the hinterland of the north, would be breached. What he didn't even expect was that the person who swept the north with an army of millions of infected people at this moment turned out to be his former classmate, Xia Feng.

In the courtyard of the mansion, Paddy looked at Xia Feng with horror in his eyes.

"Xia Xiafeng, you are Xia Feng, please, don't hurt my family."

Looking at Paddy's eyes looking at him, and his tone of being afraid but still trying his best to protect his relatives, Xia Feng's expression didn't change at all.

He remembered eating with Paddy in the Royal One, and partying in the box.

Time has passed, and those days will never go back, or in other words, he never regarded those as real life from the beginning to the end.

At the beginning, his purpose of going to the Royal Academy was to find a way to process Originium raw materials, but he invited Paddy to the party because he needed to build a plan to help Silver Ash kill Ricky.

Seeing Paddy's appearance, Xia Feng was suddenly in a daze.

Paddy must have treated him as a friend, but did he really treat him sincerely?

"I'm not Xia Feng, you've got the wrong person."

After leaving these words, Xia Feng turned around with his head down.

Di Pai's eager cry came from behind.

"Xia Feng, Xia Feng, I won't mistake someone, I know it's you, please, don't hurt my family!"

Xia Fengtou walked out without looking back.

"I won't hurt your family, take care."

Afterwards, Xia Feng asked Red Knife to strictly supervise the infected, not to hurt the family members of the Mullen family, and only take away the necessary supplies.
