Chapter 1113: Numb people and things

The cannonball roared across the sky, fell at the highest point, with the sound of breaking wind, and landed directly on the periphery of Withalens.

A house in the suburbs was directly hit by a shell. The huge fire frightened the defenders stationed around and the refugees who were struggling to survive.

When everyone thought that the Ailan Hill Empire had begun to attack the city with missiles again, the second shell fell, directly flying off a fragment of the city wall.

Everyone is used to the days when there is no air defense alarm reminder. In fact, they have never had an air defense alarm... the sound of the horn that reminds everyone of the enemy's attack, in fact, the effect of early warning is minimal.

There is almost no underground air defense facilities in Witholens, there is no way for the residents in the city to have a safe, concealed, and very strong hiding place.

Although some ancient buildings will build basement structures such as wine cellars or cellar secret rooms, most of these cellar secret rooms are not designed to prevent explosion and collapse!

If hit by a missile or artillery shell and the superstructure collapses, the people hiding in such an underground secret room are likely to be buried alive. Compared with being killed directly, this is not a decent way to die.

When the second shell fell, everyone thought it was an ordinary missile attack, but when the fifth and sixth shells fell, everyone realized that the problem might have become more serious.

After all, the previous missile attacks did not have this density, and the missile attacks were more biased towards high-value targets, and it was unlikely that they would concentrate on the outskirts of the west of Withalens.

A more direct judgment comes from the number of shells! If it is a missile attack, the density and number cannot be so high.

Ever since, when a demon soldier felt bad and shouted that it might be shelling, an 800mm caliber artillery shell of the Ailan Hill Empire directly hit a place west of the city of Withalans. Bell tower.

That old clock tower survived two large-scale bombings of the Ailan Hill Empire, and it did not fall under several missile attacks.

Last time, the Tomahawk cruise missile that hit the clock tower directly penetrated the thick outer wall of the building, penetrated the entire building and exploded on the other side of the street, directly destroying two taller houses.

Ever since, the hole pierced by the missile stayed in this bell tower, and it remained the same until just now.

As a result, the 800-millimeter-caliber artillery shell could not give any building face. It only needs to hit the target to completely erase the target from the world.

Sure enough, everyone's expectations were not wasted at all, and the huge explosion swallowed up the bell tower that seemed to be somewhat large.

Amidst the shaking of the earth, the huge bronze bell on the bell tower was lifted and deformed by the air waves, flying into the sky tens of meters high, and then rolled and fell, hitting the street full of rubble and small stones. on.

There was no one there, but the deformed giant clock was still embedded on the street floor with destructive power, and finally let out a dull hum.

Even at a place almost two kilometers away from the explosion point, the standing demon didn't mean to dodge it.

They have been numbed by this explosion, and they have become accustomed to this roar. This is where they are sad. When facing fear, they are used to numbness!

Yes, the habit of numbness-when they face the source of magic, the fear of being conquered, the fear of being dominated, the fear of being suppressed, make them numb.

They have lived in this state of numbness for 10,000 years and have become accustomed to this numbness. So when greater fear and more terrifying destruction were before them, they actually got used to it so quickly.

This is not to blame the demons, but to blame them for their lives, which have continued in this way, until they have forgotten their own blood and their own existence.

Sadly, they only remember the deep obedience and numbness, and only passively accept these cruel facts.

At this moment, the demon mother holding the child looked up at the thick smoke rising from the block in the distance, her ears were all deafening of the explosion.

The child in her arms started to cry because her ears were uncomfortable, but there was only a buzzing sound in the mother's ears, and she couldn't hear the cry of her offspring.

A sick devil dog wandered around the devil's legs. It was very upset with those terrible explosions, but its obedience to the devil made it afraid to leave.

So there are too many sad people or sad things in this world. The devil's numbness is sad, but the lower-end demon dogs also become sad because they are used to domestication.

At this time, the blast of air swept across the block and blew on these people who watched the excitement. Because of the separation of buildings, these air waves are no longer so devastating, but the air waves full of smoke and dust hit like a tsunami, and it is indeed very scary.

The sky here dimmed in an instant, and the people standing on the street began to evade in a hurry. The low cry of the devil dog, accompanied by the sound of the wooden door creaking and closing, made it a bit lively.

But soon, something more lively happened. A 283 mm caliber shell flew to this block and exploded directly on the street.

This huge explosion blew up all the roads nearby and demolished several houses closest to the explosion center into shattered rubble.

Several buildings collapsed, leaving only some walls and load-bearing stone pillars still stubbornly supporting them and refusing to fall down.

There is a temple more than ten kilometers away from the block where the shelling fell. The walls have been cracked by the previous two bombings. The source of magic looked at the two particles of dust on the table in front of him, and felt that the whole person was about to explode. Up.

Although he adjusted his state, the precious magical energy that slowly gathered around him because of his consciousness had indeed consumed a lot of it due to overuse.

As a freak with a mixture of magic and consciousness, although he is powerful, he is not omnipotent. After using the space magic barrier, he also needs a short rest.

After a short rest, although he already had the ability to shoot again, the cute Lanhill Empire's changes made him unable to shoot again.

The speed of those weird missiles is too fast and has exceeded the ability of magic detection, so the source of magic cannot arrange magic in advance to block the missile attacking the city.

Now, the more cruel problem lies in front of him, because the cheaper and more efficient shells of human beings have a range enough to reach Withalens.

He just wants to intercept, so many cheap shells, he can't intercept them!
