"It hurts, it hurts so much..."
"Blood! My arm is gone! Ahhh!"
"O God of Dreams, please bestow your glory and deliver us, the devout believers!"
The first step into the southern city defense line is to see a dense cluster of large tents, with white stretchers holding wounded soldiers in excruciating pain. The burning pain intensely stimulates their nerves, causing them to roar like wild beasts while enduring immense agony!
His eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was ferocious, making people tremble.
Under the murky twilight, the faces of the wounded were clearly visible to everyone. One professional, whose hands were torn apart by demonic insects, was convulsing uncontrollably. Finally, his body stiffened, and the people handling the corpses dragged his body and threw it into the crematorium maintained by the mage for cremation.
Otherwise, they will be corrupted by the abyss's aura, the dead will be resurrected, and they will become walking corpses of the abyss.
This scene made everyone realize the cruelty of war.
"It's alright, we'll take care of your injury. Please relax and raise your hand a little."
A pretty young girl is applying medicine to a wounded man whose chest still bears bloodstains. Working with medical staff, she helps to temporarily stabilize his condition, her expression gentle.
At the same time, there were hundreds of women who volunteered to comfort the wounded. Some of these women, including young girls and women with medical experience, used their unique feminine gentleness to alleviate the pain of the brave men who had been gloriously wounded on the battlefield.
In a place of despair overwhelmed by pain and torment, it is like a flower of hope blooming in the abyss—beautiful and natural.
"This is a concentration camp for the wounded. What you see now is only the outermost, better side."
Minnie, walking alongside Xiao Han, remained calm. After casting a cold glance at some of the wounded, she introduced them to Xiao Han.
"The periphery?"
Xiao Han noticed a word Minnie mentioned and exclaimed in surprise.
He looked around. The rather crowded camp was neatly divided into various areas, and among the wounded were ordinary people who had not yet activated their ranks.
The appearance of the desert worms provided the demons with a new tactic for this attack.
The demons dug new tunnels in the ground and launched deadly attacks on creatures on the ground by sensing the strength of their auras, causing heavy losses on some fronts.
The worst off are the ordinary people who participate in the war. Even a little bit of the aura can cause them to become infected and turn into zombies, evolving into sources of infection!
"Yes, we took over the residences of the internal residents and converted them into a more manageable concentration camp for the wounded."
Minise responded, and amidst the awe-inspiring expressions of the crowd, the two walked through the camp filled with agonizing cries and stepped into the bustling streets.
With the return of professionals from all fronts, the number of wounded is by no means small. Minise instructed her subordinates to prepare for receiving the wounded by converting residential buildings in advance.
Of course, powerful professionals, with their extraordinary status and position, would not heal in ordinary camps.
Therefore, Minnie set up expensive VIP wards and charged these families who managed the wounded a fee, making a small profit.
At a deeper level, this also prevented some people from escalating conflicts due to unfair treatment and stopped internal troubles from arising.
"Shall we go to the manor first?"
Minnie smiled gracefully, exuding an elegant air, and extended an invitation to her "number one lackey" beside her.
Suddenly, her expression turned wistful, and a hint of realization appeared in her eyes: "It's past midnight, and today happens to be the weekend. According to one of the benefits in the contract, little fox, would you mind having afternoon tea with me?"
"It is my honor to receive the president's invitation."
Xiao Han hesitated for a moment, intending to politely decline, but in the end he agreed to Minnie's suggestion.
In his view, Minnie's interest was more than just having afternoon tea in the middle of the night; in the context of the demon invasion, talking to her might be helpful in the current situation.
He glanced at it secretly and noticed that even along the streets, there were makeshift tents set up to protect the wounded inside from the murky twilight.
There were at least a thousand wounded, and the southern part of the city, where tens of thousands of people had gathered, was extremely crowded.
Not to mention that with her newly risen prestige, Minise implemented a plan to take over the guilds and mobilize the entire population to fight, forcibly occupying the manors of various families, and throwing civilians into logistics and the battlefield, turning the living forces into a single force, which greatly improved the efficiency of logistics.
Even though the various factions were unhappy about having a large chunk of their territory swallowed up, they had no choice but to suppress their anger and temporarily compromise under Minises's domineering influence.
As for whether to spit out this huge chunk of fat after the war, Minise decided it would depend on her mood.
After the two figures disappeared at the end of the street, a little girl outside a tent, dressed in an elegant white dress, held a used bandage in her hands. Her tender face was covered in dust, and she looked quite disheveled.
"Nana, throw away the bandages quickly, they're too dirty."
Another tall, spirited young woman, carrying a stretcher, reminded the girl who was in a daze.
"Sister Alice, Lord Little Fox..."
Nana turned her head, a bitter look on her young face, and watched Xiao Han and Minnie walk side by side, her face showing an undisguised disappointment.
Minise, a noble figure in Titan City, possessed beauty, temperament, and wisdom. Compared to these lower-class women, she was like the moon's radiance compared to a faint firefly, not even as bright as starlight. How could the two be compared?
"Little Fox Lord will be safe and sound, Nana, don't worry."
Alice didn't notice Nana's unusual behavior, and even if she had, she would only have given her a bitter smile.
The story of Prince Charming marrying Cinderella is just a beautiful fairy tale; it would never actually happen in real life.
...
"Snap!"
A faint tearing sound came from the invisible void above the city wall. If you listened carefully, you could hear a faint groan that could drive people mad, make them despair, and make them collapse!
The boundary wall shattered and then rose again. After colliding with the void of the main plane, it finally created a prison unique to the Abyss Demon Realm, sealing off the entire city and brewing a great terror. After its destruction, it condensed again. The endless twilight night was like a bowl of pale yellow soup, rippling with waves as the spoon stirred.
The next moment, a group of residents in Titan City were inexplicably gripped by fear. An invisible terror pursued them, and their gazes were drawn to the strange twilight night. Their pupils contracted as if they were witnessing a terrifying horror. Soon, their bodies convulsed rapidly, as if an invisible hand was gripping their hearts and throats, causing them to suffocate to death.
Endless panic, malevolent fear, insane twisted madness!
The demon god's contingency plan will finally break through the cage, causing life to kneel on the ground, gods to howl, and blood to stain the twilight.
Fear will be everywhere, leaving devastation and corpses in its wake. Despair, fear, and madness will permeate every corner of the city.
at this time,
Fear descends!
