Chapter 456: Chapter 310: The Turtle Charges into Battle
And with the continual depletion of remote weapons, the pioneer team within Qingshi Town also started conserving the remaining supplies.
"Use them sparingly!"
Thousands of bullets seemed plentiful, but in actual use, they were gone in a matter of minutes.
And the few dozen shells for the cannons couldn’t last for many rounds.
With the annihilation of the Yellow Turban Strongman Corps, the battlefield once again fell silent.
There was some confusion amidst the court’s military formation due to the Black Fog that dazed the soldiers, but while their consciousness remained somewhat intact, their bodies simply could not move.
Holding a gourd, Heavenly Master Wang’s expression darkened as he pulled out a dark red flag from his chest, its surface embellished with ferocious Runes.
At the sight of this flag, a sense of dread surfaced in every taoist’s heart.
"Heavenly Master Wang, do we really need to use that..." One plump taoist, with palpable trepidation, spoke, "If we use that... everyone within ten miles may well be doomed."
"If they’re doomed, they’re doomed; we have no way out!" Heavenly Master Wang, with a wide maw of blood, had a vicious look, his face contorted with bulging veins, "If we don’t use it, we’re all going to die! If we use it, we might make it back alive! How do you choose?"
Under the scorching sun, these words sent a chill through the hearts of the taoists.
Indeed, they had no way out.
"Alright... okay." The taoists looked reluctantly at the small flag, then at the remnants of the Yellow Turban Strongmen off in the distance and, gnashing their teeth, made up their minds.
Each of them bit their tongues and spat a mouthful of fresh blood onto the flag.
Their demeanors immediately became lethargic.
Instantly, a puff of pink mist surged out of the flag!
A strange, chilly breeze blew, and the pink gas rapidly dispersed, while from within the flag, black specks flew out.
Absorbing the essence of blood from the mist, they quickly formed into buzzing "mosquitoes" flying through the air.
...
...
"Another twist has occurred! A bio-weapon has now appeared?"
"This war, it really has so many unexpected turns..."
Comrade Wang Hao, who was spectating from the sky, dilated his pupils, feeling that something bad was brewing.
These mosquitoes were erratically flying in the sky, too small to fear any cannon or machine gun.
But he was determined to stick to his role as an observer and resolutely not enter the fray himself.
...
...
"Go feed! Go feed!" Heavenly Master Wang, with a trace of fear, waved his flag, urging the "mosquitoes."
The surrounding taoists, as if seeing the harbinger of doom, hastily retreated to escape.
They held no flags, and if they were bitten even once, they would be finished.
In no time, the "mosquitoes" reached the Immobilized soldiers, voraciously feeding upon their blood.
These soldiers, although physically manipulated, were semi-conscious and could feel their Vitality being drained away; they turned ashen and inwardly cursed loudly.
Inspector Li, relying on sheer willpower, broke free from his restraints and bellowed, "What are these things? They’re actually eating people?"
"You all... you actually harm your colleagues... what do you want to do? You..."
Heavenly Master Wang chuckled sinisterly, replying harshly, "Inspector Li, don’t blame me. We were compelled to do so."
"That ’Lifeless Deity’ comes from the Outer Domain, far more powerful than it appears, by hundreds, thousands of times. We simply cannot withstand it and must submit to its control, not to mention that without inhaling that pink mist every day, we would be tortured with unbearable itching and headaches. We simply can’t bear it."
"You all... you’ve actually conspired with an Evil God from the Outer Domain... you..." Inspector Li’s face changed drastically as he considered a terrifying possibility.
But now, other than yelling, he had no better recourse.
The distance between the Floating Mountains was vast; under normal circumstances, it was unnecessary for the great dynasties to wage war.
Because beyond the city lay vast deserts, with an army’s round trip possibly taking more than a year. In such inconvenient transportation, when the army marched, logistics simply couldn’t keep up.
Now that a war had broken out between the Floating Mountains, there was only one possibility—Deity battle!
Such wars tended to be protracted and wide-reaching, ending only with the complete victory of one deity over another.
But after the war, the casualties were usually enormous, with hardly one in ten surviving—even remote places like Qingshi Town and Fenghua City would be affected.
"Sigh, to speak of it, you’ve also partaken in the benefits that the ’Lifeless Deity’ brought." Heavenly Master Wang continued, "Your daughter, with her serious illness, wasn’t it cured by the Talismanic Water from the Lifeless Deity?"
"And your elderly father as well."
Heavenly Master Wang sighed, adding, "Do you know what that Talismanic Water is? Sigh, never mind..."
"We’ve been completely controlled, unable to break free. Seizing the Godhood of the ’Great Turtle Mother’ is just one small part of it."
"The Great Qian Dynasty’s decline, the towns under Kunlun Mountain, have long been thoroughly infiltrated. We might as well conform to the trend of the times to protect ourselves."
"If we don’t comply, we’ll have to endure the unbearable itching, the crippling headaches, and perhaps even be killed outright, to be replaced by others."
"One must fend for oneself, or face annihilation from the heavens and earth. So, it’s best if you start on your way."
Inspector Li’s face turned pale; he let out a howl, trying to pick up a Crossbow Arrow and shoot, but helpless as his body was poisoned and weak, he collapsed on the ground.
