Chapter 139 The Time of Stagnation

This pain is now eroding Li. How many people have died in this bell tower? One thousand? Or two thousand people? Thousands of voices died in panic, thousands of pain, thousands of unwillingness, thousands of despair, all of which are displayed in Li's mind. If Li just got the psionic power and did not know how to use and control it, then he would probably be driven crazy by this surging despair and pain, but now Li is different. He has the support of Taoism, which is a skill that the spiritual people have inherited for tens of thousands of years. It ensures that Li can use his spiritual power correctly without being hurt by him.

In the end, with Li's sigh, all the pain and despair turned into a faint sadness.

When the green people came to this peaceful town, people did not have any precautions. They didn't even know what these ferocious green humanoid monsters were. It was not until the killing began that people began to panic and wanted to escape.

Some people fled to the wild in panic. What was waiting for them was to be chased, hunted, their heads were cut off, their teeth were knocked off, and finally became the ornaments of an orc, and their bodies rotted on the grass. The other part is habitually concentrated in front of the square of the bell tower. This is the place where the town council is opened. Here are the mayor, here is the sheriff, and here is the government they have been relying on. As in the past, once something happens, the first thing people think of is the government.

But the government was powerless at this time, and the mayor was at a loss. Although Li had issued a decree to let officials from all over the country receive relevant training to know the enemy, so as to make the right choice when he was in danger. But in fact, no one took it seriously. The mayor also yawned and received training in the cognition of cosmic monsters. As a result, there was only one concept left in the mayor's mind: "The cosmic monsters are all terrible. Fortunately, they didn't come to the far star, of course, they won't come to the far star!"

So the mayor made a common and wrong decision. He decided to let everyone enter the bell tower to take refuge, then lock the door and let some strong young people and sheriff guard the gate, delay the time and wait for rescue.

But things didn't go well. Just as people walked into the bell tower in an orderly manner, the orcs waved their machetes and rushed into the square. The order was smashed in an instant, and panic and chaos captured everyone's heart.

Everyone began to rush to the gate of the bell tower crazily. At this time, they didn't have much thought. Behind them was a cosmic monster like a thug, dead! And there are more people inside the gate, strong doors and walls, safe and alive!

No one wants to die. Everyone wants to enter the door, which is the only hope to live.

The flow of people kept pouring in, up, away from danger. First of all, it was filled on the top floor. Until the end, the first floor was also flooded by the flow of people. The whole bell tower was full of people, but the mayor was missing. The sheriff also lost his trace in the flow of people, but the door was not closed, nor could it be closed. There were more people outside the door. .

And the orcs chasing these people's buttocks have begun to wave their machetes.

The people outside the door cried, screamed, and poured more crazily into the bell tower, up, away from danger. The panicked crowd lost their minds. They just wanted to escape, but there was no railing. The top floor of the flat bell tower had already been full by the crowd, when more people followed a When the unstoppable inertia and panic continued to rise, the tragedy happened. The first person to reach the top floor stood on the periphery. They were inevitably squeezed out by the crowd, so there was the first person who screamed and fell from the eighth floor. He fell on the stone brick floor under the bell tower, leaving a bright red mark.

Then more people fell from the roof, just like pouring water into a cup that had been full for a long time. The water overflowed from the cup kept flowing, and people kept falling from the sky, and blood kept splashing with the crackling.

The orcs soon found this. They seemed to have found an interesting thing. The greens no longer killed the people who caught up with a knife, but consciously drove them to the square and into the bell tower.

Hundreds of people poured into the bell tower. They got a moment of safety and were squeezed down from the top floor.

Until the end, the orcs began to clear the field layer by layer, driving the people on the first floor to the second floor, and then going upstairs to continue, constantly rushing people to the roof, until they drove everyone to the highest floor of the roof and forced them to jump down with a big knife.

As if looking down from the sky, you can clearly see a circle of corpses around the bell tower, as if it were a pile of walls surrounded by corpses.

How cruel it is. The ancient pirates would force the prisoners who were going to be executed to walk on the springboard - they put a springboard on the side of the ship. One end of the springboard was fixed on the side of the ship, and the other end stretched out to the boundless sea. The prisoners who walked on the springboard had no turning back. Behind them was a sharp sword, and the blade urged the prisoners forward. Move forward and finally fall.

Pirates do this because pirates don't like to see blood on their own ships. Dealing with corpses is not only troublesome, but also unpleasant. At this time, the blue sea will tolerate everything, whether it is the sins of the living or the pain of the dead.

And the orcs are different. They will do it just because it is interesting and a way of many entertainment.

But Li couldn't hate it. He only felt sad.

If human beings do this kind of thing, Li will be angry, because people who can do this kind of thing are extremely inhuman. But it is not human beings who do this kind of thing, but orcs. They have no humanity in the first place. They have their own characteristics, maybe beasts? Or something else.

They are not human at all. It is ridiculous to add human moral concepts to them.

It's like a tiger wants to eat people. Is this the tiger's sin? Just like a mouse wants to steal food, it is also not good or evil.

is just a group of dangerous pests.

Orcs, this is a group of green locusts in the cosmic era!

There is no other way to deal with them, but to kill them completely.

Just as Li was immersed in those crying and sadness, there was a sudden beep in his ear, which was an electronic reminder that had been set for a long time, so Li called out the map. On the map, he saw two light spots entering his area. This shows that two groups of people have entered the area they are responsible for. If combined with time, the two groups basically do not search for the area they are responsible for. No matter what way, the two groups have found the truth and the goal, and then made a decisive decision.

As Virgil said, this is an assessment, but there is no score, and it doesn't matter whether it is qualified or not. There is no right or wrong in this assessment, because the captains of the five teams will be right no matter what choice they make in this hidden assessment.

Following Li's order, the team that carefully explores the search area is what Li needs. Even if Li can accurately infer the location of the target through various intelligence and experience, he still needs more evidence to prove his judgment.

So the task of the search team is equally important. Even if they get nothing in the end, it is also a great gain for Li. At least it proves from the side that the orc's big fangs are not in that area. When all the impossible are excluded, then the rest is naturally the only possibility.

Not all soldiers put obeying orders first. Some people are happy and good at making accurate judgments according to the situation on the battlefield, and then acting according to their own judgments. To be precise, they are good at acting without authorization. Are these people wrong? Perhaps yes, but for Li, such a person also has a special and even precious quality, which is necessary to become a front-line commander, and they can make correct judgments according to the current situation.

Li, a warrior who knows how to obey and obeys orders, and Li, who understands commands and knows how to execute flexibly, is very much needed.

"Black Bread Squad and Chocolate Squad, Virgil and Maxim, these two guys are brave, but they dare to violate my orders." Li frowned and began to think about how to punish these bold guys. Compared with the enemies in front of him, this kind of thing is more troublesome for Li. Punishment is necessary, but the scale is not easy to grasp. It is not only to let them learn a lesson, but also not too much to hit their enthusiasm. After a while, Li decided to put aside this headache, opened a suitcase, and began to study what to eat for dinner today.

The suitcase was taken from the empty residents' room. The suitcase was full of all kinds of food collected by Li from the town, including filled beer, spicy sausages, crispy potato chips, canned plums and various foods.

If it weren't for the orc's nose, Li would have moved the stove here for barbecue.

Although he has always attached great importance to the enemy in front of him, Li Di can't regard the orcs in front of him as a real enemy from the bottom of his heart. When dealing with the orcs, he thinks more about how to eliminate the enemy in front of him. What Li thinks more about is how to minimize the original loss and then get The benefits are magnified to the highest.

If you want to solve the problem in a very short time regardless of the cost, Li is not unable to do it. The depths and underground of the No. 2 artillery base is also a military base established by the early colonists. The nuclear bombs launched by its missile well can spread all over the Zhiyuan galaxy. As long as Li is willing, he can use these huge nuclei at any time. The weapon begins to "plant mushrooms" on the map. It only needs a few heavy nuclear bombs to be thrown down, then several carpet bombings, and finally send soldiers to carry out a net sweep. In this way, these green skins will turn into ashes without suspense.

It's just that it's not worth the loss. First of all, nuclear bombs are not endless. In this era where interstellar travel can be achieved, it should not be difficult to make a few nuclear bombs.

But first of all, knowledge is strictly regulated in this world. Science is not pure learning, but a hierarchical and strictly controlled religion, especially the control of this kind of knowledge involving the manufacture of weapons of mass destruction.

Secondly, in the era of space war, nuclear weapons are not suitable as weapons of mass destruction. It can be said that in space war, nuclear bombs may be a low-efficiency weapon, because nuclear explosions in a vacuum do not produce impact crossings, and the light pressure generated are not enough, so they cannot be caused in the atmosphere. The mechanical blow generated by the explosion in the layer is exactly the greatest lethality of nuclear weapons. All the energy of nuclear weapons is released in the form of radiation and electromagnetic pulses, and for any creature that can soar in the universe, the radiation protection and electromagnetic shielding technology of spacecraft will certainly be very mature. Even if it hits the target directly, of course, the target will be completely melted or even vaporized by the high temperature caused by the nuclear explosion, but it is not easy to accurately let the shell hit the enemy in the space war. It is as difficult as shooting a mosquito far away in the United States with a cannon in China. There are extremely high requirements for accuracy. To do this, it can only be done with the support of very advanced electronic equipment, which is exactly what the empire lacks. Because of the strange and strange teachings of the Mechanical God Religion, any electronic device with a little intelligence is extremely rare in the empire. Even if there is, Most of them are worshipped on the altar. Do you want to use their sacred objects to help the spacecraft aim? If you think so, it's better to pray like the emperor. Maybe he will bless him and be lucky to hit the enemy with the next shot?

Even in terms of lethality, nuclear weapons cannot be compared with kinetic energy weapons in space warfare. A nuclear bomb can kill the enemy, and a standard imperial ship armor-breaking bomb can also achieve its goal. It even has a better effect. The cost is very different. The cost of a nuclear warhead is enough to make. Tens of thousands of ordinary anti-ship shells. Therefore, at present, there is almost no position of nuclear weapons in the empire. The imperial navy is completely a multi-turret god. The reason is very simple. If the probability of a cannonball hitting the enemy is not high, then let a hundred shells do the same thing, so that the empire's demand for nuclear weapons is even lower, because with the empire The defense forces and those armies have also become loyal followers of the multi-turret god religion.

Anyway, there is an obvious fact in front of Li that nuclear warheads are very precious disposable weapons, which will be lost after use, and you can't think about making them in a short time. What is even more unpleasant is the shortcomings of nuclear weapons, which are also preserved in this world. Nuclear weapons can not only cause devastating damage to the enemy in an instant, but also continue to cause serious damage to the land, the environment and even the stability of space for a long time to come. Harm, (Scholars from the Imperial Royal Society have concluded that the geographical space damaged by nuclear weapons is unstable and extremely vulnerable to the invasion of evil spirits in different spaces.) It's nice to throw this thing on other people's land, but it will be very unpleasant to stay on your own land.

This is only lost in weapons and equipment, and more importantly, if this simple, fast and rough fighting method is adopted, Li will get almost nothing except the panicked people and abandoned Texas.

The garrison of lords in various places will still be as slow, weak and vulnerable as in the past. The people of Zhiyuanxing, whether officials or ordinary people, will still resist, non-cooperation, or even boycott Li's many policies.

If Li wants to turn this crisis into an opportunity to completely control the world, then he must temporarily endure these green skins. He can't choose the simplest ways to erase the enemy at once.

Many people will die because of Li's decision, and many people are leaving their homes because of Li's decision. More sergeants carry their bags because of Li's decision, say goodbye to their lovers and relatives, and set foot on a dangerous battlefield. These pains could have been avoided, but Li chose to bear it, because he knew that compared with the real enemies in the universe, the current enemy was nothing. Compared with real failure, today's pain is only bearable and must be endured.

Zhiyuan Star has been at peace for thousands of years, and now we have to pay for it.

Three days later, Li's five teams gathered on the bell tower.

Five teams, a total of ten people are scattered in all corners of the bell tower. They seem to be casual, but Li doesn't need words. These people naturally maintain the battle formation. There are people

"The five teams, the earliest arrival of black bread and chocolate, the marshmallow, cream bread and cream candy teams have just arrived. You are all good, and the captain of the black bread and chocolate team is even more bold. Maxim, Virgil, we will talk about this matter after the task is completed, but Now we need to think about how to treat our green guests well. The tusks boss lives in the dense forest burg on the other side of the mountain. I have done the preliminary detection work. After the arrival of black bread and chocolate, I am not idle. I have done the investigation work more carefully. I dare to say that now we are in the dense forest. The green skin in it knows very deeply. Maybe we know more than their fangs. I have sent the detailed map to your personal terminal. After that, you can read it at any time. Look here now..." Li said, gently drawing it on the dry blood clot on the ground with a dagger. Simple map.

"This is the dense forest castle. Just like its name, in the depths and dense forest, the whole castle is built in the valley, which is located in a dangerous place. If the army wants to enter the valley, it can only enter this road head-on. Of course, we won't consider taking the right path. The mountains are nothing to us, but the way the enemy camp is very characteristic, which makes it a little troublesome to sneak in.

Li casually painted on the ground, and everyone understood that the orcs were based on the characteristics of Inzazhai. The orcs were only united around their highest leader, the boss of the tusks, in a very close way. The orc camp finally formed layers of extremely irregular rings, if regardless of the shape of this ring Then, looking down from the sky, the whole orc's camp is a ring, and the center of the ring is the dense forest fort with a tower.
