Chapter 124: My name is Shen Tu, the Tu of Ren Tu (seven thousand)

Chapter 124: My name is Shen Tu, the Tu of Ren Tu (seven thousand)

Following the Colonel's order, all the soldiers pulled the trigger, and the machine guns on the armored vehicles also burst into flames.

Da da da da da!

Countless bullets poured out and flew towards the thousands of sincere believers below. And these believers still haven't opened their eyes until now, and their unshakable faith in their hearts makes them believe that God will bless them.

Yet God never blesses anyone, not even the most sincere believers.

shhhhhhhhhh!

The bullet landed on the square, and there was a burst of blood-red spray. Blood continued to splash, and the stumps and minced meat covered the square, and the entire square was dyed red at this moment.

The bullets ripped apart the bodies of sincere believers one by one, sending them one by one into the tranquility they call their mouths.

Da da da da da!

The dense bullets lasted for nearly a minute before they stopped, and at this time in the square, the group of believers who had been praying sincerely had disappeared, replaced by a pool of meat.

A large amount of blood pooled together, and then flowed out of the square. Some of the corpses with their heads still intact can be seen from their expressions. They were terrified before they died. Obviously, they did not want to enter the An Ning Township they spoke of.

In the bishop's previous words, most of these thousands of believers have willingly entered the peaceful land of God, enjoying eternal peace, joy, and happiness. And those with frightened expressions are because their beliefs are not firm enough, and they have betrayed the gods in their hearts, so they are so frightened that they cannot enter An Ning Township.

The soldiers looked down blankly and indifferently, and they had just slaughtered the bodies of the believers. Everyone's expressions didn't change, even their breathing and heartbeat didn't fluctuate too much. It seemed that they were not people, but a group of pigs, cows, and sheep.

This is their determination. From the moment they stepped into the portal, all Dongxia soldiers have completely abandoned their humanity and morality. Their third legion is now a sharp knife in the hands of Da Xia, slaughtering all butcher knives that stand in front of Da Xia.

"Ah...this...this, you guys! You guys!" The bishop who was holding the bible just now looked at the scene in disbelief.

He never imagined that this group of troops wearing strange clothes would slaughter these 3,000 helpless believers without hesitation. Are they not afraid that this kind of behavior will be exposed and leave a bad impression in the hearts of the people? Don't they want to **** the city of canals? This is the transportation hub of the Grand Canal! Are they demons? !

Countless questions were intertwined in the bishop's mind.

The 3,000 believers who were praying just now, all died in just a few minutes! All turned into a puddle of minced meat, this scene is really shocking.

At this time, a breeze blew, and the strong smell of blood began to spread, and the bishop finally recovered from the pungent smell of blood.

"You demons! You inhuman demons! This is 3,000 lives and they are all the most loyal believers of God. How dare you! How dare you!" The bishop pointed at the surrounding Dongxia soldiers and cursed.

blah blah blah...

The colonel in black military uniform was escorted by five soldiers and came from a distance. The pair of black military boots stepped on the square covered with corpses and blood. At this time, their military boots were already covered with blood.

Looking at the people all over the place who died because of his orders, the Colonel's expression did not change at all. He didn't even look at the corpse on the ground, his eyes looked straight ahead, his expression full of indifference.

The bishop looked at the officer of the Eastern Xia Empire who was walking towards him, pointed his right hand at the demon who had just ordered the killing of 3,000 civilians, and said, "It's all because of you, they're all because of your order, so will die!"

The Colonel ignored the bishop's abuse and disdain to make any excuse for his previous order.

The order was given by him, and everyone died because of him.

The colonel raised the stun gun in his hand, aimed it at the bishop's abdomen, and pulled the trigger.

call out!

The bullet used by the stun gun hit the bishop's abdomen, and the strong electric current instantly paralyzed his body and then lost consciousness.

"Take it away," the colonel ordered, putting away the stun gun.

"Yes!"

A soldier stepped forward and directly carried the bishop on his shoulders, then walked out of the square.

The soldiers then carried out a carpet search of the entire church, and all the clergy in the church were arrested. Of course, there are also some mad believers who swear to the death to defend the faith of God, and these people are all sent by the soldiers to meet their so-called gods.

At the same time, the other 4 cities were also killed by the 3rd Corps. The blood flowed into rivers. All the armed forces in the cities were thoroughly cleaned up. No matter whether these armed forces surrendered or begged for mercy, Dongxia soldiers would still treat them kill.

No matter what your identity is, as long as you dare to resist and kill. The soldiers of the Eastern Xia did not care how many people resisted and whether they were innocent. As long as they dared to stand up and resist, the Third Army would still slaughter them all.

…………

Mize City, one of the five major cities in the Grand Canal Plain. With a population of more than 2 million people, this city is the most populous city in the empire outside the imperial capital. At the same time, the Anning Church is very popular in this city. 90% of the residents here are members of the Anning Church.

As the empire grew darker and darker over the years, the life of the people became more and more difficult. In order to escape the darkness and oppression of society, the people regard Anning Church as their belief.

The people madly believed in the Anning Church and paralyzed themselves with the Anmin Church's teachings. They believe that the suffering they are suffering now is only temporary, and that as long as their faith in God is firm enough, they will be able to enter a peaceful land after death. There is no hunger, no oppression, no aristocracy, and they can enjoy eternal happiness and peace.

This situation has become more and more prevalent in the Empire in recent years, and Kizawa Castle is the most serious. It has the largest church in the empire, and half of the whole city is the land of the church of peace.

Kizawa Castle has more believers than the headquarters of Anning Church. There are 500,000 mad believers and nearly 1 million deep believers. Their belief in God is stronger than anyone else, almost crazy.

Even in recent years, human sacrifices have been held, which seriously violates the canon rules set by the head of Anning Church. Anning Church headquarters repeatedly warned Kizawa Castle Church to stop such **** and foolish activities.

However, instead of heeding the words of the leader of the Anning Church, Kizawa Castle intensified and even began to tamper with the teachings.

The most exaggerated is that the bishop of the Anning Church in Kizawa City touted himself as the incarnation of God.

And it is precisely because of this situation that Kizawa Castle, with the help of these 2 million believers who are not afraid of death, actually supported the Third Army for half an hour.

"This is holy war! Now is the time to test your faith. Everyone uses their own flesh to expel these monsters!" A priest holding a Bible encouraged the surrounding believers with weapons.

"Don't be afraid of death. We have God's protection. Even if we fall here now, we will only lose our bodies. After we die, we will enter An Ning Township and enjoy eternal happiness and tranquility!"

The expressions of the surrounding believers became more and more frenzied, and the prayers were silently recited in their mouths.

Boom boom boom boom!

The next moment a huge explosion sounded, and the already dilapidated city wall in front of them finally collapsed. Flames and dust intertwined, and waves of heat stroked everyone's faces.

A strong smell of gun smoke intertwined with the smell of blood.

The flames disappeared, and the dust slowly dissipated. Everyone saw a row of neat steel monsters, slowly driving towards them.

Seeing these steel monsters, the believers were not afraid at all, but instead raised their weapons and launched a charge.

"Come on!"

"Ahhh! Kill those heretics!"

"This is holy war! Now is the time to prove our faith!"

"Come on, kill these heretics!" A warrior in armor, running high in front of the team, shouted with a silver-white long sword in his hand.

With the roar of the armored warrior, the surrounding believers responded to his words one after another, and also issued an earth-shattering battle cry!

"Ah! Kill!"

"kill!"

Everyone's expressions were extremely frenzied, and their gazes were extremely firm as they looked at the steel monster in front of them. A wave of blood poured into their hearts, and the momentum of the entire religious army climbed to its peak.

"Roar!"

The charge of hundreds of thousands of people is extremely powerful. At this moment, even the usually extremely fierce dangerous species will be shocked by this momentum.

Facing the charge of hundreds of thousands of people, the expressions of all the soldiers of the Third Army did not change at all, and everyone silently adjusted their status.

Compared with the cultist legion on the opposite side, the third legion was very quiet, so quiet that it gave people a creepy feeling.

"preparation."

The long barrel of the Snapdragon main battle tank in the front row was slightly lifted and aimed at the front. The armored vehicle also adjusted the muzzle of the machine gun.

Thousands of infantrymen surrounded each main battle tank, raising their rifles and light machine guns.

In the rear artillery positions, the artillerymen put the shells one by one into the self-propelled artillery, and then adjusted the barrels to be ready to fire at any time.

"Fire!"

Bang bang bang bang bang bang!

The self-propelled artillery and the barrel of the Xiaolong main battle tank in front simultaneously emitted yellow flames, and all kinds of artillery shells pierced out and flew to the front, charging the hundreds of thousands of believers.

Da Da Da Da Da Da Da!

The machine guns on the armored vehicles and the firearms in the hands of the soldiers also burst into flames, and tens of thousands of bullets pierced through the chambers.

shhhhhhhhhh!

A huge firepower network was formed and flew towards the believers rushing forward at an extremely fast speed.

The knight running at the front roared again: "Rush..."

However, just after he finished speaking the first word, the next moment a cannonball hit him, and then his body exploded like tofu.

call out!

Then the cannonball hit the believers behind again. One, two, three... The cannonball was inserted into the hundreds of thousands of legions like a sharp sword, rolling up waves of blood and broken limbs.

Before the believers could scream, black shadows fell from the sky at a very fast speed, and the unknown object that fell immediately emitted a strong fire.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

A deafening explosion sounded, one after another, and the flames began to rise. The flames generated by the explosion swept the entire battlefield in an instant, and nearly 30,000 people died in that instant.

Countless dust was swept up by the explosion, and one after another, strong shock waves flew away the believers who were not swallowed by the explosion, and the organs in the body were shattered by the shock waves.

The believers opened their mouths to make a cry before death, but in front of this equal fire coverage of all beings. They don't even have the right to make the last scream before they die, and they don't even know when they died.

However, the attack was not over yet. What followed was a firepower network composed of tens of thousands of bullets, killing some of the lucky ones who survived.

The first round of firepower coverage ended, and the vast battlefield was plowed by the firepower of the Third Army, and then the air began to smell of gunpowder and burnt.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Those believers outside the fire coverage were swept up in the throat by the blast of dust, and coughed violently. At the same time, their heads were also buzzing from the explosion just now.

After 10 seconds, everyone breathed out gradually, when they opened their eyes again. What I saw was a battlefield with flames everywhere, a battlefield that was riddled with holes. The companion who just rushed in front has disappeared at this moment, and there is a black thing on the ground.

This is the corpse of their companion, which is only a small part, and most of them were blown up to ashes in the explosion just now, and only a small part of the body can be left.

This is the war of scientific and technological civilization, there is no blood-simmering battle cry, there is no knife-to-meat fight, and there are only explosions and flames.

More than half of the hundreds of thousands of believers just now were killed and injured by the firepower of the Third Army. In the face of a modern army, no amount of numbers makes any sense.

Looking at the battlefield in front of them, everyone who survived grew up, not knowing what language to use to describe the scene in front of them.

"Dead...dead, all dead!"

"What was that just now?!"

However, the Third Army did not give these people a chance to sigh. The artillerymen in the artillery position quickly filled the ammunition, and then the gun barrels were slightly raised, aiming at the enemy who had just survived because they were not within the fire coverage.

"Ready! Fire!"

Bang bang bang bang bang bang!

All the self-propelled artillery muzzles burst into yellow flames again, and countless shells shot out.

Boom boom boom boom!

The overwhelming cannonballs fell from the sky, the deafening explosion sounded again, and groups of flames began to generate, swallowing everything around.

The tens of thousands of believers who survived only heard the deafening explosion, followed by a burst of severe pain, and before he could scream, he lost consciousness.

In the back of Kize Castle, those priests who were still brainwashing the believers just now stared at the flames that were rising on the battlefield, their ears buzzing with the sound of the explosion.

This... this is impossible! What is this attack? Why is it so powerful? ! The army of believers just now disappeared. There were more than 100,000 people. They were evaporated from the world without even touching these steel monsters? !

The other believers were also frightened by the terrifying firepower just now, and everyone's expressions began to panic.

Seeing this scene, the priests responsible for inspiring people quickly suppressed their fears.

This is not good. If even the believers panic and stop going up to die like a fool, then the city will not be able to survive in front of this steel monster.

The priests held up the Bibles in their hands and shouted loudly, "Just now, God gave another will!"

As soon as these words came out, all the believers knelt on the ground, folded their hands, and made a sincere gesture of prayer, ready to listen to the will of God.

Seeing this scene, the priests nodded with satisfaction, this is a group of sincere lambs.

"God said that in front of us is the enemy of God, a group of demons that have crawled out of hell. The purpose of their coming here is to destroy the world and kill everyone!"

The priests spoke words that had been recited in advance.

"We have no way out! Sincere lambs don't fear the enemy, they won't be a bunch of dirty, ugly demons crawling out of hell!"

"As long as our faith is sincere enough, we will be protected by God. We who have received God's protection will not die. The current death is just the end of a life of suffering. Our ultimate goal is to enter a place where there is no hunger and no oppression. , there is only happiness and tranquility in An Ning Township!"

After this wave of brainwashing by the priests, the terrified expressions of all believers disappeared without a trace, and they resumed the previous frenzy again.

"The priest is right! We have God's protection and we are immortal!"

"The ultimate goal of our Anning believers is to enter the kingdom of God after death! You don't need to fear death, death is just the beginning of happiness!"

All the clergy breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the devotees had resumed their fanaticism.

The battle started again, and countless believers armed with various "weapons" crossed the collapsed city wall and charged the steel monsters ahead.

Boom boom boom boom!

However, just as they ran out of the city wall, countless cannonballs fell from the sky, and a mass of flames began to rise, engulfing them.

Then the tank troop slowly moved forward. Except for the artillery troop, the rest of the troop followed the tank and slowly pressed towards Kizawa Castle.

After 10 minutes, the tank finally came to the wall that they had just knocked down. Another round of new firepower coverage fell again, and a violent explosion appeared again, swallowing up the believers who were still running forward with perseverance.

These believers are like zombies in the movie, no matter how many dead companions, they still continue to charge forward.

In this short 10 minutes, the death toll in Kizawa Castle was as high as 100,000. On the other hand, the Third Army did not even mention the death, and not even a single wounded appeared.

rear command.

The commander of this unit, Major General Shen Tu looked at these believers who were not afraid of death, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light appeared in the depths of his eyes.

Although the troops under his command are now advancing in a near-slaughter manner, the enemy can't even get in front of the tanks. But these believers' fanaticism towards God was a bit unexpected. He never expected that so many believers would even give their lives for their faith. With so many casualties, not a single believer flinched.

Of course, it does not rule out that those believers who want to retreat are beheaded by the church army behind, but this also reflects that there are very few retreaters.

"After this battle is over, I must propose to Your Majesty that the Anning Church should not be blocked and arrested, but should be slaughtered directly."

"Their influence on people's hearts has virtually become a major obstacle for the Eastern Xia Empire to clean up this world."

The fanaticism shown by these believers in their beliefs has made Anning Church completely face the opposite of the Eastern Xia Empire.

Although the Eastern Xia Empire could also use the Anning Church to take advantage of the Anning Church's huge prestige among the commoners. Quickly control the people at the bottom of the entire empire, and even take down most of the empire without a single shot.

This method sounds very good, but it will plant a ticking time bomb for the Eastern Xia Empire. Since the Anning Church can help the commoners to help Dongxia occupy the empire, then the Anning Church can also make the commoners turn their heads and rebel.

The Dongxia Empire has already planned to transform this world into the second home of Daxia, and will never allow any hidden dangers to be left behind.

…………

In Muze City, the Wall of Peace.

This towering and gorgeous city wall was specially built by the Anning Church of Kizawa Castle to show the majesty of God. In order to build this wall, the bishop of the Anning Church in Kizawa City did not take any money from his treasury. Instead, they directly raised donations to the believers in the city and asked them to provide free human and material resources.

This also made the location of Anning Church a city within a city. If anyone who did not know it saw this city within a city, they would think it was the palace.

In the city of tranquility, an old man with white hair holding a Bible and wearing a sect leader's costume watched the flames that were constantly being generated in the distance.

He is the bishop of the Anning Church in Kizawa City, Clift, who claims to be the incarnation of God.

At this time, a senior cleric walked quickly from a distance, came five steps away from Clift, knelt on his knees, put his head on the ground and said sincerely: "Lord, those demons have already invaded the city. Here, our army is retreating steadily."

"I see, let's go." Clift waved his hand calmly.

After the senior clergyman withdrew, the vice bishop next to him couldn't help but worry: "Lord Clift, if it goes on like this, in less than an hour, the group of enemies who suddenly appeared will hit here."

"Or should we escape from the secret passage with the wealth we have collected over the years?"

Regarding the advice and concerns of the vice bishop, Clift shook his head and refused: "Don't worry, everything is under my control."

"We don't need to win the enemy, we just need to let the enemy see how much it will cost to destroy us. In half an hour, you will send an envoy to negotiate peace with this mysterious army."

"But they have an absolute advantage now, will they make peace with us?" The vice bishop is still a little worried. After all, the enemy has an absolute advantage now, so why should he make peace with us?

"If they want to take over the city, then I believe they will need our Church of Peace." Clift showed a confident smile.

"As long as our Anning Church expresses its willingness to assist them in ruling the city, they will definitely negotiate with us. Just like those nobles, as long as they give enough benefits, nothing is inappropriate."

This is also why the Anning Church has been able to grow without being encircled and suppressed by the empire. The five bishops of the Anning Church are very good at managing relationships. While using his position to seek benefits, he gave various benefits to the nobles, and every year the Anning Church gave the Minister Ornest a huge amount of wealth.

In this way, the bishops of the Church of Anning were like a duck to water in the upper classes of the empire. This also allowed them to develop a thought that no matter what the benefit is enough, they can be negotiated.

They are not wrong in this idea, but obviously they overestimate their weight. In the eyes of the Eastern Xia Empire, they are nothing, and they are even less qualified to negotiate conditions with the Eastern Xia Empire.

As for the so-called popular sentiments, the Eastern Xia Empire really needs the popular sentiments of the people at the bottom of the world. But this demand has not reached the necessary level, it is the icing on the cake, and it is not harmless.

Clift wanted to prove the weight of An Ning Church by constantly sending believers to their deaths, and then used this as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the Eastern Xia Empire. If you use this method to deal with other countries, it is still useful, but for the Eastern Xia Empire, the more popular you are, the closer you are to death.

Since ancient times, the Daxia civilization has never allowed anyone or forces other than the central government to have huge popular support.

Clift's behavior made the Third Legion realize that Most of the people in this city are believers of the Church of Anning. Even if they attacked this place with absolute force, in order for these people to assist the construction of the Eastern Xia Empire, they must go through the Church of Anning.

rear command.

After Shentu realized the state of the city, his expression became extremely indifferent, and he ordered in a cold tone: "Notify the armored troops to stop moving forward and withdraw the entire army from Muze City."

"Yes!" The correspondent immediately connected the channels of all the soldiers on the front line.

"Notice, now the whole army is withdrawing from Kize City, repeat, the whole army is withdrawing from Kize City."

"Tell the armed helicopter unit to prepare white phosphorus bombs, and after our army withdraws from Kizawa City, put all the white phosphorus bombs into it." Shentu's order sentenced the 2 million people in Kizawa City to death.

Shentu himself knew very well how many people would die and how many families would be destroyed by this order. Even because of the effect of white phosphorus bombs, these people will die in extreme pain.

Whether it is for labor considerations or the influence of inner morality, if it is possible, Shentu also wants to reduce the deaths of civilians. But judging from the current situation, it is obviously impossible for the Dongxia Empire to occupy this place without destroying the city.

Because of these 2 million mad believers, it is impossible to obey the orders of the Eastern Xia Empire obediently. If they are not dealt with, they will explode at any time like a time bomb, causing great trouble to the Eastern Xia Empire.

Since they were in the way, he Shentu came to perform his duties as a soldier in Daxia. Become a slaughterer who ordered the massacre of 2 million people, and bear the sin of Daxia.

My name is Shen Tu, the Tu of Ren Tu, a Daxia soldier.

A hero and a demon.
