Chapter 70 Insoraia Battle · Part 1
…
Zhisheng Luo, had snuck out.
Her wounds had not fully healed, and in fact, there were still some black spots on her left chest, which made her feel itchy every time she turned.
However, this was not an excuse to hide and rest.
Everyone was fighting fiercely, so how could she hide in the hospital?
Thus, she joined the Kingdom Ming’s militia organization, ready to contribute her strength in today’s fierce battle.
But…
…
“Oh, even a young girl like you has to go to the battlefield?”
“Huh?”
“You’re the same age as my daughter. If possible, I truly don’t wish for you to step onto the battlefield…”
Beside her, a grizzled uncle said so.
He looked a bit old, with a receding hairline, but he still firmly held his Mauser rifle.
“Senior, I’m very strong, please don’t worry about me.”
“Haha, it’s good to have ambition. But the real battlefield is not what you imagine.”
“Uh?”
“It’s chaotic and noisy… No matter how strong you are, if you’re targeted by the enemy and pierced by a ballista, your body will instantly disintegrate.”
“…”
Zhisheng Luo took a deep breath and looked at the uncle with a bitter expression.
“At that time, no matter what dreams you have, no matter what expectations you hold, they will all turn into a handful of dust, and those who care about you will never see you again.”
“Senior…”
“So you must be careful, don’t try to be a hero. Take all your opponents and enemies seriously, never underestimate or be careless.”
“Okay, I understand.”
…
…
As a certified individual of Kingdom Ming, Zhisheng Luo’s strength was much higher than ordinary soldiers and demons.
So she firmly believed that in this battle, she would be a surprise force to turn the tide… But after being reminded by the uncle, Zhisheng Luo realized she was a bit too arrogant.
This time, the demons were not ordinary demons; they were all strengthened by Yixiu Fragments, so she…
…
(Must be extra careful?)
Zhisheng Luo looked towards the western sky, and the war…
had already begun.

…
“Is war like this?”
Looking at the scenes in the distance, Su Ling Zhou was speechless.
She had seen demons in encyclopedias and grand scenes in war films, but experiencing it firsthand gave her a different kind of shock.
The demons surrounding Insoraia numbered nearly a million.
Even excluding weaklings like goblins and slimes, the demons’ strength was not to be underestimated… not to mention the many monsters in the demon forces.
A giant dog, five meters tall, could tear a person into shreds with one swipe. If Su Ling went forward, she wouldn’t even be enough for it to swallow in one bite.
“Su Ling, are you ready?”
“Yes, yes…”
It was her older sister’s reminder that brought Su Ling back to her senses slightly… She nodded and secretly clenched her fist.
“Sjster, what are we going to do?”
“Hmm… that’s still a secret. I don’t really know either.”
“Oh…”
“But soon, we will know. Come, follow me forward.”
“Mm.”
The pink-haired sisters supported each other, walking step by step into the darkness.

Meanwhile…
Outside Insoraia, on top of a tall building.
“Damn it!”
Lonis, unable to dodge in time, was hit by an arrow.
Although it wasn’t a vital spot, and only a piece of flesh was cut from her arm… even so, Lonis gasped in pain.
(It hurts! The battlefield is indeed a cruel place? But… this injury is far from the training from Elus?)
Lonis gritted her teeth, and under her gaze, the wound on her left arm healed at a visible speed.
In the distance, countless surging demons were advancing into the city through a gap.
…
“Roar roar roar!”
“Bang bang bang!”
Countless heavy footsteps pounded on the ground, creating an extremely fierce sound… The first to charge into the city were creatures called Orcs. Compared to ordinary humans, their physique was much larger.
And the most colossal Orc, the brute, even weighed nearly a ton individually.
If one were to be hit head-on by such a heavy monster, even the bravest man would be sent flying. Therefore, facing the Orcs as vanguards, the soldiers used standard firearms.
“Clang!”
With bursts of muzzle flashes, sharp bullets sliced through the air, shooting straight at the Orcs.
Logically speaking, with modern standard weapons, no creature could resist the firing of large-caliber bullets… The sharp warheads could not only pierce steel plates, but could also explode flesh and blood into fragments.
However…
The bullets had a fatal flaw.
Low kinetic energy (a few hundred joules per bullet), and they would rupture when encountering water.
So, under the influence of the demons’ shield spells, although the bullets from the soldiers eventually hit the Orcs, most of them lost their lethality and could not cause fatal damage to these brutish Orcs.
“Kill these humans!”
“Charge!”
The bullets, like a tickle, of course, could not stop the Orcs’ advance, but instead stimulated their fighting desire.
They advanced with great strides, seemingly wanting to crush the people with their weapons.
But…
The soldiers of the Kingdom Ming also cleverly changed their attack methods.
“Magic Gemstone bullets, fire!”
“First squad, fire!”
The soldiers replaced their bullets, changing the armor-piercing pointed bullets to explosive bullets carrying a Magic Gemstone fuse.
This way, although the initial velocity of the bullets decreased significantly, they could deliver non-kinetic damage to the Orcs by detonating the Magic Gemstones.
And the results became exceptionally apparent.
“Ah, ahh!”
“It’s a Thunder Gemstone!”
Countless electric sparks mixed with fire appeared in the demon ranks. The Orcs that charged first could not withstand such fierce attacks and fell one after another.
At this moment, this small gap on the royal capital’s city walls had become a fatal trap. The Orcs that had already entered could not retreat, and the Orcs outside could not charge in. The soldiers of the Kingdom Ming were like turtles in a jar, continuously outputting suppressive fire with crossfire.
“Did it succeed?”
Lonis was overjoyed. If it continued like this, the thousands of Orcs that had already charged into the city would completely become live targets.
But…
“No… not yet!”
Before the joy had even lingered on her cheeks, Lonis noticed something unusual.
Some Orcs were still charging through the gap.
But their skin color was not the red or green from before… but black, like shadows.
Even from a distance, one could feel that ominous aura.
And these Orcs were…
“Everyone be careful, the demonized Orcs who took Yixiu Fragments have appeared! Focus all firepower and stop them!”
