our family is gone

Chapter 105

His words woke Barton up, and then he opened his mouth with a tangled expression.

"At first, no one cared about these refugees. To be honest, we didn't even have a few officers, because this is an army of 3000 people, and there are two units of chaplains, and the latest artillery of the empire. Even if we encounter other regular troops, we There is also the power to fight, let alone some refugees who gather with only kitchen knives and pitchforks.

Until we came to a village that was captured by them, there was not a single living thing in the village, neither human nor livestock.There was no food to be found, and everything that could be eaten was gone.

However, the scouting soldiers soon found a lot of blood on the ground, as well as the whitish bones, with no flesh on them. "

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

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

Although I guessed it, Barton's words also aroused a few people's resentment towards those refugees who had never seen them before.

"Oh! Damn cult."

"Are they crazy?"

"This is no longer an ordinary refugee, and we must strike hard!"

Compared to their excitement, Lance was very calm.

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

But in fact, it is often taken away, and no one goes back to investigate the reason.

It's the same now, the people sitting above the high hall don't care, because they don't care about those refugees at all, after all, they will not be short of food or clothing no matter what.

People living in the city don't care, because the disaster didn't happen to them, and they didn't see that scene with their own eyes.

This kind of people who have not experienced this disaster will not think about what caused this situation. On the contrary, they, like the few people present, directly pointed the finger at the refugees!
The cause of this incident was natural disasters. The severe drought in the central region led to poor harvests and people's livelihood. But it was more of a man-made disaster. The empire did not provide disaster relief and allowed it to develop, which gave the cult a chance to take advantage of it.

Barton didn't stop, but continued to tell his story.

"We also discovered this situation at the time, and everyone broke out with a strong fighting spirit, determined to bury these blasphemers.

The army pursued the past and kept looking for their whereabouts. Along the way, they found more villages and towns that were attacked. Those 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 while and didn't know how to describe those guys.

"All of them can no longer be called human beings, each of them has undergone mutations beyond the understanding of normal people, and even this mutation is not only in humans, even the livestock accompanying the team have all become deformed.

The most obvious feature of the monster is the large mouth with unrestrained growth of messy teeth, and the long twisted tongue that is far beyond ordinary people like tentacles.

The faces of some monsters are completely occupied by big mouths, and some parts of their bodies become big mouths. The crazy growing teeth have protruded in rows and cannot close the mouths. more.

There were also huge deformed pieces of meat pushing carts in that huge team. They could no longer see the slightest human characteristics, and they were just pushing the carts endlessly.

And on top of the car were piled up all kinds of dismembered corpses, some of which were animals but more of them were humans, and the butcher knife was still stuck in it. "

According to what Patton said, this was the first time they encountered these monsters. Everyone was taken aback. At the same time, the commander discovered that the name of the cult was not fake, but that the power of evil gods was really involved.

At that time, everyone burst into anger when they saw the corpses of the same kind being desecrated, especially those church people 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, and when the commander gave the order, more than 20 artillery pieces, large and small, aimed at the monster.

At the same time, the moment they found the monster, the monster also found the army. These guys were not afraid at all, on the contrary, they rushed towards the army, revealing endless hunger and greed like they were crazy.

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

"The first batch of shots worked very well. The shells whizzed past and directly tore apart the formation of monsters. No monster could block them. A slight touch would result in broken limbs and arms. If they hit the body, they would be smashed into mud directly. It seems that even monsters cannot resist the power of artillery.

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

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

"The offensive of those monsters was not stopped 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, and then greedily stuffed them into their big mouths, waiting until the corpses were gone. , the monster charged us again.

Under my strong urging, the second round of artillery was ready. We replaced the solid bullets with explosive bombs, which can directly kill humans three meters from the center of the explosion, and the fragments can damage ten meters.

I watched the bomb being detonated among the dense crowd of monsters. It is reasonable to say that it would have a better effect, but the reality is that only the monster in the center of the explosion was killed, and the surrounding monsters were just blown away by the shock wave, and the fragments stuck in the explosion. They seemed to be fine, and after a short pause, they got up and came over to share food with their companions.

The second round of bombardment from the artillery can only barely stop the monster's crazy attack, but the delay time is very small, and they will come again after they finish eating their companion's corpse.

When the monster approached [-] meters, the commander realized that something was wrong, and immediately assembled a musket lineup to shoot at the approaching monsters.

It's just that bullets that can penetrate metal armor don't have much effect on hitting monsters. Although they can cause damage, they don't affect the monster's actions at all.

What's more troublesome is that when the musket fails, some soldiers in the army have already been panic-stricken and went crazy. The supervising team killed many frightened deserters, but they still couldn't stop the army from collapsing because the monster was approaching. "

Barton also didn't realize that he was speaking more and more urgently, and the exaggerated tension seemed to make Lance and the others feel like they were on the scene.
