Chapter 57: Riverside Massacre

The soldiers who delivered the food to the Hou Temple quickly took it to dinner like noon. Rose collected the money and took the team to leave the army's base, leaving only a few hundred reconnaissance mosquitoes squatting on nearby trees. After a day of march, the army of the Temple of Light was now at the exit on the other side of the forest. There was a river in front and a forest behind, and the environment was quite good. Listening to the gurgling sound of water, the soldiers who had been tired after eating and drinking for a day finally couldn't help but fall asleep.

The soldiers were all asleep, but the generals could not sleep. More than a dozen priests and angel officers in the leader's tent discussed the action arrangements afterwards.

The commander of the Angel Legion said optimistically: "Now we have obtained the food supply. The food sent by the angel-like lady is enough to consume tomorrow's day, and they will continue to replenish us. This amount of capital consumption is not enough for us. In our current state, even if the enemy dares to attack us, we can deal with it calmly. As long as the lost home team can guarantee the same marching speed as us, at most, the 21st night, that is, tomorrow night. As long as the army unites together, no one can move us at all."

A priest walked out and said, "I think..." The priest suddenly frowned, but soon recovered and continued, "Although our condition is not bad, the army is not safe after all, and the troops in the team are all......" His face suddenly became ugly, and his brows were also frowning together as if he was enduring some pain.

The angel next to him looked at him in confusion. "What's wrong with you, High Priest Hamis?"

The priest's face suddenly returned. "Ah nothing. I mean everyone's matching is not comprehensive. If they are attacked, the losses may be greater, so...so...!" He suddenly stuttered again.

"High Priest?" The angels all looked at him waiting for him to finish his words.

The high priest's face was twisting and changing, and others didn't know what he was doing. Suddenly, the high priest's brows relaxed and "feed..." A long and gentle fart sound resounded throughout the entire guard. In an instant, everyone in the guard was stunned. "Wow! Poison gas!" An angel suddenly screamed and covered his nose at the same time. Then the entire guard's tent suddenly exploded. The commanders covered their noses together and rushed out. Only the high priest himself was covering his butt and rushing out. Running along the way, it was still making a sound of machine gun shooting. The soldiers guarding outside all looked at their commanders in surprise. It was not until the high priest rushed out that they understood what was going on.

Even if the poor high priest was not dead this time, he would probably have no shame to see people when he went back. However, he didn't care so much now. What he cares most now is to find somewhere to make it convenient. He rushed into a small uninhabited forest with a loud noise, and then there was a loud noise from the formation sky inside. The soldier in a tent near the forest turned over and muttered, "Who is still firing firecrackers so late? It's really unethical!"

Just as several generals were laughing knowingly with each other, a soldier suddenly rolled and crawled to the generals. "God of Angel Quan, it's not good!"

"What's the matter in a panic? Tell me slowly."

The soldier said anxiously: "It seems that we have been plotted against."

"What did you say?"

"Half an hour ago, someone started to have diarrhea in the mage camp. I didn't pay attention before, thinking that the food was not clean, but more and more people had diarrhea afterwards. Now the entire mage camp is in chaos. The clergyman used divine techniques to reconnaise. Everyone was given laxatives, and they had already penetrated deep into their bodies and could not be removed. It was impossible to recover without waiting until they could be effective!"

"Why is this happening? Haven't you all used divine techniques to reconnaise?" asked an archangel.

The soldier immediately said: "Lactobacillus is not a poison. Doctors sometimes use lactobacillus to treat some special diseases. It is not considered a harm to people. Our ordinary magic can only detect evil drugs and have no response to lactobacillus. Because the food in the past is fine, the priests relaxed their vigilance, so they did not use large magic tricks that could distinguish the types of drugs, and only used small magic tricks to detect divine tricks. That's why...!"

"Are all the mages diarrhea?"

"All the mages are pulling, and the weak mages who were pulling first have begun to unconscious. It seems that the amount of medicine is very heavy."

"That's what..." The Angel Chief suddenly realized something. But it was too late now, because he suddenly heard a loud grunt from the guards on both sides of the tent. It seemed that someone's stomach was ringing, and the guard's face turned green in an instant. He quickly raised his hand to apply for someone else to serve, and he covered his stomach and rushed into the forest.

Almost in an instant, the whole camp began to sound farts, and the camp was boiling. At this time, the leaders of the guild who were sitting inside the scout mosquito watching the live broadcast were all rolling on the ground in frightened. The scene of 7.5 million people having diarrhea at the same time was so spectacular. The people squatting in the whole forest made disgusting sounds. From time to time, several weak people fainted in the forest.

In the seven-and-five million army, almost all of them were hit, except for angels and divine beasts that did not eat food. Even the high-level paladins could not withstand such strong laxatives, and many column commanders joined the diarrhea. Several angels were circling in a hurry. In fact, their stomachs were not very comfortable, but their resistance was good, not as strong as those humans responded.

The entire forest turned into a minefield overnight, with yellow dirt everywhere. It smelled ten miles in the wind, and the last few high-level monsters left in the forest that were not scared away by the dragon were also stinking. The next morning, the army finally finished the night and barely moved to the riverside. But the river could not pass by anything.

A paladin with a pale face and a frivolous footsteps reported to Angel Quan: "Report Master. I... our army's seven million and five million army... Except for the 300,000 Angel Legion barely retaining its basic combat power, all the remaining troops have lost their combat power. More than 300,000 wizards in the mage battalion died, and the soldiers basically struggled to stand up, and the officers with fighting spirit could only barely walk. General, we can no longer force this river to force ourselves to climb. Many people can only force themselves to crawl. If they force cross the river, they don't need the enemy to fight. We will have to drown half of them."

"Then you can't wait to die here! The other party will definitely know that we have no ability to resist now. They will definitely attack us immediately, so they must find a way to leave here."

Another angel said: "Sir, since the other party knows that we have lost the ability to move, we will definitely not let us go. Most of their troops are high-powered ground and air cavalry. Our current state is just a one-day run, so I think it is useless to escape."

"Then you can't sit and wait for death, right? Look at how many people can fight?"

"I don't think it's better for us to form a defensive line on the spot. Even if our soldiers' physical strength decreases and more than seven million people gather in a group, it's not that easy for them to eat it in one go. Even if we suffer heavy losses, at least we won't be wiped out."

"The high priest is right, this is all we can do!"

After a brief discussion, the army of the Light Legion began to gather together into a circular array again and narrow the area of ​​the team as much as possible. In this way, a certain amount of defense can be generated by relying on the advantage of the number of people. At least the crowds will not be dispersed if they are swept away. As the highest commander of this legion, the Angel of Quan inspected the entire camp with great concern, but the more he looked at it, he became more and more worried. The continuous hunger before getting food consumed too much physical strength for the soldiers. Although he had eaten a few full meals afterwards, he was pulled out last night, and his stomach was still empty. In addition, diarrhea consumed not only food, but also water. People need water, and if they lose a lot of water in a short time, they would dehydrate. This situation is very dangerous, and it might take a life if they are killed. Now, more than half of the entire legion have slight dehydration, almost in a state of dying, let alone defense. You may fall down at any time when you stand there.

In addition to the problems of physical function itself, the soldiers' nerves are also under a lot of pressure. First of all, they are tired. There is no toilet for you to use when going to the toilet in the wild. After squatting all night, these soldiers are now cramping in their calves and their whole bodies feel as if they are about to fall apart. In addition to being tired, sleepiness is also a big threat. They keep squatting all night, and no one has the chance to sleep. The soldiers who haven't slept for more than 24 hours are in a bad mental state, and many of them have blue eyelids and are constantly angry. In this state, it is basically nonsense to defend against enemy attacks.

Unlike the army of the Light Legion, our guild was preparing for an outing. Rose stood on the platform and shouted to a crystal holding an amplified sound, "Dear members of the guild, and the volunteers of the Hot Blood Alliance, now you can start celebrating. The brigade of the Light Legion has now been divided from the team. They have not had a normal meal for three consecutive days. And we secretly gave the laxative medicine last night and took it all night. Now they are tired, hungry and sleepy. Do you know what this means?"

"Experience!" A shocking throat scream erupted below.

"Reply." Rose said loudly: "There are 7.5 million people in this legion. Except for more than 100,000 angels and still maintain half of their usual combat power, the rest are all soft-footed shrimps. But the level of these soft-footed shrimps is still high-level monsters. The dual state of diarrhea and hunger reduces their health to half of their usual combat power, and their combat power is basically zero. As long as you use the power of killing level 100 monsters, you can knock down these enemies of 5600 or even 700 levels. I promise that you will upgrade after today. I will finally reiterate.

Pay attention to everything. The enemy has 7.5 million, and we only have more than 50,000 people in total, so it is definitely enough for everyone to share. Therefore, don’t steal monsters. If you encounter high-level angels, everyone should cooperate with each other. We go to travel to get experience, not to kill land, so we must ensure zero casualties. Experience value is the reward for everyone. If you make money, it will belong to you. But things like explosive equipment and magic pet eggs must be handed over. The guild should be good at the land in terms of welfare, and everyone should also be worthy of the guild at critical moments. Okay, that’s all, let’s go now.”

At 10:00 a.m. on the 21st time, the day when the Archangel of the Light Army predicted that they would meet in the evening, they encountered another army. Of course, this was not the main force they hoped, but the leveling team organized by our guild. Although their main force is not as miserable as them, they are also busy with their own affairs. Even if we don’t come to kill them now, they can’t wait for this main force to meet up.

The players who came to support us in the war were brought together, and there were 50,000 players in our guild. However, compared with the 7.5 million army of Light, we are still too few. However, at this time, everyone doesn’t care about the number of people on the other side. It is estimated that if there are 75 million enemies on the other side, everyone will be happier.

The angels soon discovered us and immediately stood in front of us to make a final resistance with us, but what made them desperate was that it was not the players who met, but the 100,000 elite air cavalry from the Heavenly Court. The soldiers sold in the Heavenly Court were of many types. In order to fight this time, the seven million new heavenly soldiers we purchased were relatively ordinary models. With two million high heavenly soldiers, the average strength was between angels and paladins. Under normal conditions, ordinary angels and middle and high heavenly soldiers were equal, and the higher angels could probably be equal to the highest heavenly soldiers or the lowest heavenly generals. However, the 100,000 air cavalry here are all the elite air cavalry of the highest heavenly models. Isn’t it a pity to deal with these angels who are dissatisfied with the state?

A few angels could not stand it. In addition, we players were sucking cold puppets from behind and scattering hidden arrows from time to time. The 100,000 angels were quickly knocked down by 100,000 elite air cavalry. While the angel legion fell, a few light beasts such as griffons were also knocked down by the giant dragons brought by us. The remaining were 7.4 million paladins, light mages, light priests, etc. who were more breathless than death.

With my order, everyone rushed up and started massacre. The weak mages were all unconscious. The priests could only moan on the ground, occasionally thrusting, and the paladins were slightly better and could barely stand up. The weapons they used were all high-level paladins who could fight. Occasionally, they met a ranger-level paladin who could resist, and they were all surrounded and killed. The remaining soldiers could only start to run away in vain. Oh no, the escape was inaccurate, it should be called escape and crawling. No one could run away here. They could only crawl and leave.

Rose first persuaded the surrender according to the optimal resource plan, but found that the other party was a believer with steadfast faith and could only kill them all. That night, downstream of this river flowing through the forest, players in the mainland were surprised to find that the river water down the upstream turned red, and the water also emitted a strong smell of blood. Many people saw many bloodthirsty monsters along the way scattered by the river and kept drinking the river water, and even some NPC vampires gave up hunting and changed to drinking the river water.

A younger player looked at the river and asked the people around him: "Can they all be blood?"

"Don't you think that those monsters have collectively undergone genetic mutations, and they can fill their stomachs with just drinking water?" He was a middle-aged player.

"Oh my God! If you want to dye all the water in such a river red, how many people should you need to have blood on earth?"

"From the flow of this river and the concentration of blood, at least five million people died at a certain place upstream in a short period of time, and their blood flowed into the river."

Another person inserted it and said, "I heard that the Temple of Light is attacking the Frost Rose Alliance recently. Could it be that they are fighting in the upper reaches?"

The middle-aged player said, "It's probably them. Judging from the amount of health, both sides have lost at least a few million people. NPCs are perverts, needless to say. On the contrary, it's the Frost Rose Alliance. It's such a big move. If so many people are defeated, it's probably over if the general guild is over."

It is completely contrary to the speculations of those who are uninformed. The people here are immersed in a beast-like excitement. Why do so many people like violent games like Zero? It is because of pressure and violence. The pace of life of modern people is tense. The pressure accumulated in work and life needs to be relieved, and it is best to vent in the game. Moreover, before becoming the spirit of all things in suits and ties, we humans also came out of the wild forest wrapped in animal skins. Humans suppressed part of their violent tendencies in development, but their instincts did not completely disappear, so some people still advocate violence and like blood.

Today, this massacre completely revealed the instinct of human beings. I kept standing on the nearby tree trunk and watching below. Except for occasionally dealing with the powerful enemies that suddenly appeared, I basically did not participate in this bloody ceremony. I witnessed the process of the following people degenerating from humans back to wild beasts. Slaughtering and fighting monsters have different meanings. Faced with the unresistible enemy, everyone first thought that they could pick up cheap people and rushed in. Then human nature broke out, and many people stopped. However, as the blood flowed more and more, human nature began to be submerged. Instinct took over the command, and everyone gradually recovered to one of the wild beasts.

I don't have any contempt for the members of our guild. I just want to see the difference between humans and wild beasts. For a long time, because of the transformation made by Longyuan on me, I began to doubt the definition of "human". I need to figure out what a human is and how to be considered a human. During this massacre, I seemed to have caught something, but in the end I let it slip away. However, when a female member who usually acts very quiet and well-behaved like a little princess suddenly appears in front of me with a smile on her face, I suddenly figured it out.

This little girl is a major in secretarialist. She usually acts very well-behaved and keeps following Rose in the guild. I am quite familiar with her. She held a staff that was still dripping blood and asked me standing on the tree, "President, why don't you go up?"

I smiled with some insight. "This little experience is not enough for me to beat. I have a high level and I need to kill advanced monsters. These levels are too low. If I kill, I will lose my experience. It is not cost-effective. Just play yourself happily."

"Oh." The little girl turned around and joined the ranks of beasts again.

Before dark at night, everyone was wearing armor in the river to clean the blood and internal organs on their bodies, and then the group teleported back to Tianyu City. I believe that after today, these people will change more or less, not to become criminals who kill without blinking, but to become more active humans, because humans are creatures that strive to move forward for survival. This has nothing to do with the changes in the body, this is a spirit or a form. Under this analysis, I can at least be sure that I am a person.

No matter how I talk about leveling in the afternoon, everyone has made a big difference in the level. Collective leveling can be divided into experience. I watched it all over the afternoon and even got half a level. It was really a terrifying total experience. However, I am the president, with honor points, and other members can't get so much. However, they have a lot of experience in directly killing enemies. The most unlucky person has also been upgraded to at least level 50, which is a collective leap forward. The most exaggerated players actually rose to more than three hundred levels in the afternoon. I really don't know how they practiced.

On the 22nd, the next morning, the guards of the Temple of Light were cut off, finally arrived lately at the edge of the forest where the massacre had occurred. The entire army was stunned. They were harassed by the war gods along the way, and at the huge cost of reducing the number of 1.5 million, the main legion led the remaining 14 million troops to the designated location half a day in advance. As a result, what they met with was a black land that was condensed into iron plates and corpses all over the mountains.

"Who did this?" One of the two members of the Elders' House of Suijun roared angrily.

The army commander ordered the army to rest on the spot, and then crossed the river with a few main personnel and a small number of guards. The situation here was too tragic to allow the subsequent army to see, otherwise morale would fall to the bottom. In addition, they hoped to find some survivors, at least they had to know what means the enemy used to attack the more than 7 million people. As an experienced commander, the angel knew that there was no trace of resistance at the scene, which means that these seven million people were not defeated and died head-on. In connection with the characteristics of our guild over the past few days, it was easy to think that this team must have been plotted by some tricks, otherwise more than 7 million people would not have left a single message.
