Chapter 271 Finally Understanding What God Is

If you ask what resource is the most valuable in this era, there is no doubt that it must be iron ore!

Even the total number of steel production can directly reflect the strength of a kingdom!

To some extent, at least 80% of the wars in this era are for mineral resources.

Larger territory, more minerals! Stronger industry!

Therefore, the appearance of an iron mine, especially a large iron mine, is enough to make most kingdoms crazy!

Not to mention, the location of this iron mine is too coincidental.

It is right on the border line.

This directly turns the two kingdoms in this area, and even the kingdoms farther away from this area, into a huge bomb barrel!

Just a light touch will explode directly!

And it is logical, without any coincidence.

If Kuang Tianzhi had not sent out a reconnaissance team and stared at the empire, I am afraid that he would not be able to see the connection between the empire and what you did for them was just a small push in the war that would have occurred.

At this moment, this area has become tense in a very short time.

Both kingdoms were frantically preparing their armies, with more and more legions converging on this border line. They even began to seek help from other kingdoms with similar strength, promising various benefits and forming coalition forces, as if they had to swallow this piece of fat meat.

At this time, the empire didn't even need to do anything else.

They just needed to retreat, erase all traces of themselves in it, and then wait quietly.

Waiting for the outbreak of this tragic war and the reaction of "God".

However, these people in the empire obviously didn't know that the reason why "God" let them go was because "God" just happened to need such an opportunity.

Therefore, Kuang Tianzhi not only did not prevent the outbreak of this war, but even deliberately promoted it.

Pushing the war in the direction he expected.

In fact, the gunpowder smell on this battlefield at this moment has become more and more intense. Before both sides continued to increase their military strength, they had fought large-scale wars again and again. As their respective injuries and losses increased, their investment costs also increased. At this time, they could no longer stop.

As for the gods, oracles?

Not to mention that this place is extremely far away from the east, and it is impossible to judge the authenticity of this rumor. Even if all this is true, this battle cannot be stopped before the divine punishment really comes.

In fact, neither side of the war took the rumored oracle too seriously.

In their eyes, there is only the iron mine in front of them and this war.

"It can't be delayed any longer." The general in the east is a man named Barber.

He is burly and strong. The strength of the spellcaster is not high, but he has proved his strong military command ability in wars again and again. In such a war era, people like him also have a very high status.

At this moment, he keenly realized that if this war continues to drag on, it will only be more disadvantageous for them.

Because the enemy's promises are increasing, and the allies they have brought in are getting stronger and stronger.

Therefore, Barber has the idea of ​​"one battle to decide the outcome".

In fact, this battlefield with iron ore is indeed a barren plain, and neither side has a city, which can be called a forbidden area for tactics - in this environment, under this background, there are very few tactics that can be used.

At the same time, the general in the west, a man named Hong Ping, also has a similar awareness.

"Barber will never drag it out, and he is likely to launch a general offensive in the near future." Hong Ping looked at the plain in front of him and murmured, "This battlefield will become a real meat grinder, corpses will pile up into mountains, blood will gather into lakes, and countless soldiers will die here."

These are all predictable results.

Because on this battlefield, the power of cannon fodder will be brought to the extreme.

All fortifications, all gullies, will all be reduced to ruins under cannon fodder, and then the battlefield will return to its most primitive and tragic appearance - using human lives to accumulate insignificant results.

However, even if he has seen such a result, for Hong Ping, he still has only one choice.

That is to win this war regardless of sacrifice.

For some reason, the rumor suddenly emerged in Hong Ping's mind.

God has returned, and God has judged war as evil.

"If God really appears and stops this war, even if I am punished by God, it will be enough." Hong Ping murmured in his heart.

Yes, Hong Ping, who was promoted to the Grand Marshal of the West, is actually an anti-war person.

In other words, no one can remain indifferent when facing such a battlefield.

The war started soon.

First there was artillery bombardment.

Absolutely dense artillery fire.

Shells flew across the sky, and the sound of explosions continued for two days. The whole world seemed to be filled with dense roars. No one knew how many shells were used. Both sides could only withdraw from the battlefield, rest in a farther direction with the sound of artillery fire, and then fire again, covering the entire battlefield thoroughly over and over again.

No matter what kind of trap, no matter what kind of fortification, under such cannon fodder, there is only one possibility of being destroyed.

Until the third day, the artillery fire finally subsided.

Then it was time to advance.

There was no technical advancement.

The spellcaster in charge of reconnaissance in the sky could clearly see that a large number of soldiers were running wildly from the battlefield in front like locusts. The artillery vehicles were walking in the front. These big guys pulled by huge steam cars would stop and fire wildly every time they advanced a certain distance.

And this time, Hong Ping on the other side did not issue an order to evacuate.

Because once evacuated, the iron ore would fall into the hands of the enemy.

The only thing he could do and the only order he could issue was one.

——Advance!

The brutal war officially began from this moment.

One after another, the shells streaked across the sky, making a series of piercing sounds, and then fell heavily into the soldiers. Even though the soldiers of both sides had spread out as much as possible, each round could still blow up many people.

Blood and debris fell with the impact of the explosion.

But the soldiers could only rush forward.

The spellcasters in the sky also began to attack. They kept shuttling in the sky, alerting the enemy's spellcasters while dropping explosives from the sky, or casting powerful spells to accurately destroy the enemy's high-speed moving artillery vehicles.

But the enemy's spellcasters were doing the same thing.

Each round of attack from the sky would bring up more corpses.

Whether it was Barber, Hong Ping, or even many generals, looking at the battlefield in the sky behind them, they could only admit that this was a killing without any technical content, a real meat grinder. It was impossible to determine the winner without killing until the blood flowed into a river.

The soldiers on both sides were even excited by the blood and death, and their eyes were red.

Even if they were afraid, they knew that the more afraid they were at this time, the faster they would die.

And this was just an appetizer.

There were only so many cannons, and the roar of artillery fire was only so much. The truly fierce and cruel war was after the infantry of both sides entered each other's attack range.

That was the moment when this meat grinder really reached its maximum power!

And this moment was approaching in the sight of many people.

Hong Ping couldn't help but close his eyes.

He didn't need to make any command at all. He prayed to the unknown gods in his heart.

"If war is really evil, then perhaps only God can end this war."

But——!

At the moment of praying, Hong Ping suddenly opened his eyes.

Because he heard a voice, a huge voice full of unspeakable majesty, exploding in his heart like thunder.

"Boom boom!"

No, this voice is not only in his heart.

It really appeared in reality.

Hong Ping widened his eyes and looked at the sky on the battlefield in front of him. After a real thunder, black thunderclouds gathered rapidly. The huge lightning became extremely dense in the blink of an eye, and the thunder became louder and louder! It even directly overwhelmed the sound of artillery fire!

For a moment, it seemed that the whole world, the whole world, was roaring!

Not to mention these spellcasters, even the ordinary soldiers who were fighting bloody below felt something was wrong.

Their steps of reunion slowed down involuntarily.

Looking up, looking at the black clouds that had completely covered the sky in a short time, looking at the purple, thick thunder, his expression was uncertain.

In order to prevent the soldiers from being weak on the battlefield, the news of the appearance of the gods was strictly forbidden to be known by the soldiers, so most of the soldiers had never heard of the gods.

But even so, the completely unusual changes in the world before their eyes still made them think of the gods at the first time.

But there was still some uncertainty.

But in the next moment, dense thunder and lightning fell like a waterfall!

All concentrated in the center of the battlefield!

The two sides who were about to rush together were frightened and kept retreating under this "thunder curtain" that suddenly appeared in front of them and stretched very fast.

And those spellcasters stared with their eyes wide open.

When have they ever seen such a terrifying scene?

Thunder and lightning formed a thunder curtain, dividing the battlefield!

"God, this is definitely the power of God!"

Some spellcasters could not help but roar in fear, and even posed in a prostrate posture in mid-air.

Ordinary soldiers did not know the news of the return of the gods, but such a big thing could not be hidden from the spellcasters.

At this moment, more and more spellcasters fell into fear under this extremely spectacular and extremely shocking scene.

They all shouted in panic.

"God is angry!"

"All those who provoke war will be punished by God!"

"This is God's warning!"

"The Great Lord has really returned!"

"The whole world will return to the eyes of God again!"

"."

Not only these spellcasters, but even the spellcasters belonging to the empire who were originally observing in secret, were all horrified at this moment.

Controlling lightning is simply impossible in this world.

Not to mention, it is such a shocking scene!

In the next moment, a dazzling and soft white light suddenly emerged from the dark thunderclouds. All the spellcasters and soldiers looked up and watched the holy angels with wings of light and soft light descending from the dark clouds with an extremely shocked look!

Each of them has an extremely beautiful posture and an incomparably sacred brilliance. Just the long hair that seems to be made of light shines with unspeakable holiness!

And the spellcasters who have already known the rumors shouted wildly.

"God's messenger is coming!"

"So many!"

"This is the real God's messenger!"

"Only God's messenger can have such a beautiful and sacred posture!"

"."

In fact, the number of these holy angels is not large. If all the holy angels above level seven are called over, there are only about a hundred of them.

However, each one is above level seven.

Under the state of holy connection, each one has the real "holy light".

The posture alone is the strongest power!

But this time, the appearance of so many holy angels was not just to show miracles again.

There is also divine punishment!

As all the angels continued to approach the ground, a magnificent voice came out of the mouth of each angel, resounding throughout the world like singing, and also resounding in the hearts of every spellcaster and every soldier.

"God said that those who start a war will be punished."

Yes, it was such a simple sentence, but at this moment, it seemed to represent the will of the entire world.

The sound of thunder even reached its peak at this moment.

The lightning bolts not only gathered in the middle, but also fell directly on the figures.

Among them were generals, soldiers, spellcasters, and managers.

Hong Ping was not affected.

Because he was not a war advocate.

However, around him, one after another, the war advocates, and even those who actively promoted the war, all turned into ashes under the dazzling lightning, and even screamed.

There was only trembling in his heart.

Because he finally understood what God was!

No matter how powerful the spellcaster is, or how powerful the artillery is, it is nothing in front of God!

But what he didn't know was that at this moment, the real divine punishment was not on this battlefield.

But in the empire!

Thunder and lightning fell directly over the capital of the empire. More than half of the eighteen elders died in an instant, including the prime minister, and many others were the same. Hundreds of thunders exploded in the capital!

This was the first appearance of divine punishment!

Either there was no reaction, but once the god was angry, it would be complete and precise destruction!
