Our family is in decline

His words woke up Barton, and then he saw him speaking with a tangled expression.

"At first, no one cared about these refugees. To be honest, not even a few of our officers. Because this is an army of 3,000 people, and there are two units of chaplains, as well as the latest artillery from the empire. Even if we encounter other regular troops, We also have the strength to fight, not to mention some refugees who only have kitchen knives and pitchforks gathered together.

Until we came to a village that was captured by them. There was no living thing in the village, whether it was human or livestock. Not a single bit of food was found, and everything edible was gone.

However, the reconnaissance soldiers soon discovered a large amount of blood on the ground, as well as the white bones, with no trace of flesh visible on them. "

When Barton said this, he suddenly stopped and looked at everyone, and then said the answer that everyone had already guessed.

"That's right~ They are..."

Although they had guessed it, Barton's words also caused a few people to feel disgusted with the refugees they had never seen.

"Oh! Damn cult."

"Are they crazy?"

"This is no longer an ordinary refugee, we must attack them hard!"

Compared to their excitement, Lance was very calm.

A few words in ancient books describe a tragic and crazy event.

But in fact, it is often brushed aside, and no one goes back to find out the reasons.

It's the same now. The people sitting in the high hall don't care because they don't care about the refugees at all. After all, they will not lack food or clothing no matter what.

People living in the city won't care because the disaster has not happened to them and they have not seen it with their own eyes.

People who have not personally experienced this disaster will not think about what caused this situation. On the contrary, they, like several people here, directly target the refugees!

The cause of this incident was a natural disaster. A severe drought in the central region led to a poor grain harvest and people were in dire straits. But it was more of a man-made disaster. The empire did not provide disaster relief and allowed its development, which gave the evil cult an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Patton did not stop, but continued to tell his story.

“We also discovered this situation at that time, and everyone burst out with a strong fighting spirit, determined to bury these blasphemers.

The army pursued them, constantly searching for their whereabouts. Along the way, they also discovered more villages and towns that had been attacked. The refugees were like locusts, leaving only a mess on the ground.

After a long march, we finally caught up with the refugees led by the Sons of Harvest Order, but there was no normal person in the huge team at this time. "

Barton struggled for a long time and didn't know how to describe those guys.

"None of them can be called human beings anymore. Each of them has undergone mutations that are beyond the understanding of normal people. Even this mutation is not only in humans, but also all the livestock accompanying the team have become deformed.

The most obvious features of the monster are its large mouth with messy teeth that grow uncontrollably, and its long, twisted tongue that is far larger than an ordinary human's and looks like a tentacle.

Some monsters' faces are completely occupied by big mouths, and part of their body has become a big mouth. The crazily growing teeth have protruded rows and can't even close the mouth. The more powerful the monster, the more exaggerated the big mouths are, and the number is also small. more.

In the huge team, there were also huge deformed pieces of meat pushing carts. There was no trace of human characteristics at all, they were just pushing the carts endlessly.

On top of the car were piled various dismembered corpses, some of which were animals but most of which were humans, with the butcher's knife still stuck in them. "

According to Barton, this was the first time they encountered these monsters. Everyone was shocked. At the same time, the commander also discovered that the name of the cult was not fake, but that the power of the evil god was really involved.

At that time, everyone burst into anger when they saw the corpses of the same kind being desecrated, especially those in the church who shouted to purify those monsters. And at that time, I was confident that the power of artillery was not afraid of these monsters at all.

The morale of the army was high. When the commander gave the order, more than 20 artillery pieces, large and small, were aimed at the monster.

At the same time, the moment they discovered the monster, the monster also discovered the army. These guys were not afraid at all. Instead, they rushed towards the army as if they were going crazy with hunger, revealing endless hunger and greed.

The war has begun~

The first round of artillery roared, and the human war machine challenged the evil god.

"The first batch of shooting effects were very good. The shells roared past and directly tore apart the monster's formation. No monster could block it. Even the slightest collision would result in severed limbs and broken arms. If it hit the body, it would be directly smashed into mud. It seems that even monsters cannot withstand the power of artillery.

The monster's offensive stopped. At this time, everyone felt that the monster was only so vulnerable. At the same time, under my command, the artillery began to load the artillery and prepare for the second round of shooting. Then we saw a crazy scene. "

Barton's eyes widened, as if the distant scene was right in front of him.

"Those monsters stopped their offensive not because of the artillery, but because they stopped to snatch the corpses of their companions. I saw with my own eyes that they snatched the corpses like crazy, then stuffed them greedily into their big mouths, and waited until the corpses were gone. , the monster rushed towards us again.

Under my strong urging, the second round of artillery was ready. We replaced the solid bombs with explosive bombs. It was a shell that could directly kill humans three meters away from the center of the explosion, and its fragments could damage ten meters away.

I watched the bomb being detonated in a dense group of monsters. It should have a better effect, but the reality is that it only killed the monster in the center of the explosion. The surrounding monsters were just blown away by the shock wave, and the fragments were stuck in the They acted as if nothing had happened. After a short pause, they got up and came over to share the food with their companions.

The second round of bombardment from the artillery could only barely stop the monster's crazy attack, but the delay was minimal. They would come again after they had finished eating the corpses of their companions.

When the monster approached a hundred meters, the commander realized that something was wrong, and immediately assembled a musket formation to shoot at the approaching monsters.

It's just that bullets that can penetrate metal armor are not very effective when hitting monsters. Although they can cause damage, they do not affect the monster's movement at all.

What was even more troublesome was that when the muskets failed, some soldiers in the army were already possessed by panic and went crazy. The supervising team killed many frightened deserters, but they still could not stop the army from collapsing because the monsters were already approaching. "

Barton didn't realize that he was speaking more and more urgently, and the tension he exaggerated seemed to make Lance and the others immersed in the scene.
