Chapter 640
640 Radiation and the first battle
The Holy Dragon City had not even encountered the Barbarian Army, and they had already used the original world’s super weapon to give the barbarians a destructive blow!
This move was like pulling firewood from the bottom of a cauldron. It caused the hundreds of thousands of barbarians who had survived to lose their supplies and fall into an unprecedented predicament.
Before the attack, even if these barbarians racked their brains, they would never have thought that the Holy Dragon City could easily destroy their tribe from thousands of kilometers away.
As such, they did not make any preparations, and all their food reserves were completely reduced to ashes in that shocking explosion!
Whether it was the human race or the Barbarian race, they all needed to eat when they were hungry. This was a natural thing.
Especially now that they were at war, they couldn’t go to the battlefield on an empty stomach. Otherwise, in that kind of chaotic situation, it would be good to even survive, let alone defeat the enemy!
However, with the destruction of the tribe, they had to find another way to fill their stomachs.
Fortunately, these survivors were all young and strong. Even in the face of a shortage of supplies, they could still rely on hunting and gathering to maintain the status quo.
Like the cultivators in Lou Cheng, these barbarians fought with the heavens and monsters. They had a fearless heart and a strong body that had been through the wind and rain.
Such a situation where food was cut off was nothing to them. They had experienced it more than once, and even more difficult situations had happened before.
However, this kind of hunting and gathering was only an emergency measure and not a long-term solution. After all, the surrounding resources were limited and simply could not sustain the consumption of so many people.
Therefore, the wisest way was to split up. Everyone would think of ways to fill their stomachs while looking for an opportunity to take revenge on cultivator Lou Cheng.
The Barbarian tooth tribe leader and the surviving tribe leaders also made a decision after a discussion. They each took their tribe’s totem stone carvings and led their own tribes into the dense forest.
Without the restraints of the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled, coupled with the hatred in their hearts, these barbarians could definitely exert 100% of their combat power and deal a fatal blow to the invaders!
However, before they left, many barbarians ignored their dissuasion and insisted on entering the valley after the explosion. They tried to find the bodies of their loved ones to bury.
However, they didn’t know how terrifying the area after the nuclear explosion was. The invisible radiation was no less than a slow-acting poison, and it had already invaded their bodies without them knowing.
Even the spring water and food that they usually drank and ate had been severely contaminated. However, no one had noticed it!
After all, the difference in technology was obvious, and the invisible damage was not obvious. How could the illiterate barbarians know about it?
Not only did this terrifying weapon from the original world take away the loved ones of these barbarians, but it was also silently devouring their vitality even after the explosion!
It would be too late by the time the barbarians realized something was wrong.
It didn’t take long for the barbarians who had entered the valley to return in disappointment. Their faces were full of dejection.
At this time, the valley had been completely turned into a wasteland. The once glorious barbarian tooth tribe was now only left with a large number of broken walls. It was a heartache to look at it. The glory it once had had no longer existed.
As for the corpses in the area of the explosion, they had either turned to ashes or were beyond recognition. It was impossible to tell what they used to look like.
The survivors of the Barbarian race suppressed their grief and collected all the corpses. They buried them together in an open space in the valley.
On the day of the burial, hundreds of thousands of barbarians gathered. They once again vowed to the heavens that they would kill all the intruders and use their heads and blood as a sacrifice to the deceased.
Soon after, these barbarians scattered and began to shuttle back and forth in the dense forest. They were getting closer and closer to the sacred Dragon Legion.
After a few days, one of the sacred Dragon Legion’s patrol teams finally encountered a group of roughly three thousand barbarians near a Valley.
The Barbarian race had long hated the Holy Dragon City cultivators to the bone. Therefore, after discovering the traces of the Holy Dragon Legion, they immediately charged over recklessly as if they had gone crazy.
This was also their previous fighting style. Each of them was like a mad demon, relying on their flesh and blood to fight in close combat, and the stronger the momentum, the better!
The Holy Dragon city’s Warriors, who had been constantly scouting the surroundings, had long discovered the presence of these enemies. They had even made battle preparations in advance, waiting for these enemies to come to their doorstep.
The moment the two sides met, the battle suddenly erupted.
These barbarian cultivators had all activated the power of their bloodlines to the extreme. They either became extremely strong, extremely fast, or even transformed into wild beasts!
The eyes of the ordinary barbarian soldiers were also bloodshot. They waved their weapons crazily as if they wanted to tear the sacred Dragon Legion soldiers into pieces and then swallow them.
To them, devouring the flesh and blood of powerful enemies was a common thing. It could even be considered a form of pride.
The sacred Dragon Legion soldiers showed no fear in the face of their crazed enemies. They only silently raised their weapons and began to attack.
Hundreds of muzzles spewed out flames at the same time. In addition to the continuous sounds of cannons, the barbarians ‘path of advancement was completely blocked!
The dense bullets passed through the gaps between the vines and the trees and landed on the bodies of the barbarians one after another. Blood sprayed out as the bodies fell one after another.
Before they even got close to the sacred Dragon Legion, a third of the thousands of barbarians had already been killed. The open space in the forest was filled with broken corpses.
The hot-blooded barbarians were shocked. They were shocked to find that these intruders were really powerful. They had not even fought with each other yet, and they had already suffered such a terrible loss.
Looking at the armor on the Holy Dragon City soldiers and the blades on their backs, they were much stronger than the crude weapons in their hands!
Compared to the Holy Dragon city’s well-equipped soldiers, they were no different from beggars.
Under such circumstances, even if the Barbarian Warriors charged forward, would they really be able to gain the upper hand?
The Barbarian race, who had always been bold and fearless in battle, couldn’t help but hesitate at this moment. They began to slow down.
Although the barbarians were brave and stupid, they were not brainless. Therefore, after discovering this situation, they immediately took countermeasures!
The barbarians also discovered that they could block the invisible arrows while hiding behind the trees. At the same time, they could also take the opportunity to attack the other party.
Especially when they realized that they couldn’t avoid the dense bullets at all by charging without any cover, they began to make more reasonable use of the trees to avoid the bullets.
At the same time, they were like monkeys, leaping from tree to tree, rapidly approaching the sacred Dragon Legion.
In the blink of an eye, the branches in the forest were filled with jumping figures. From time to time, javelins would be thrown down from high above, nailing the Holy Dragon City soldiers to the ground!
Some barbarians who were not afraid of death descended from the sky and landed among the Holy Dragon city’s troops. They hacked at them continuously. Even though they were hit by bullets, they still fell on the road of charging and fighting with ferocious faces.
The Holy Dragon city’s soldiers had suffered a lot of casualties at this moment!
After suffering more than half of their casualties, the barbarians finally learned how to avoid bullets and also discovered the fatal weakness of the Holy Dragon Legion.
Their spear techniques were amazing, but they were not good at close combat.
Because of the short training time for close combat and cold weapons, they were not as good as the barbarians in this aspect.
However, if they were to compare their spear techniques, they felt that they were not inferior to anyone!
Unfortunately, in the dense forest, even the best spear technique was severely limited.
Fortunately, in order to make up for this flaw, there were Holy Dragon City cultivators who were good at close combat in the Holy Dragon city’s team. They were specifically in charge of protecting them.
Every time a barbarian charged into the sacred Dragon Legion, there would be cultivators from Lou Cheng who would jump out and kill the enemy in close combat.
These Holy Dragon City cultivators were like an invisible barrier, protecting the safety of these soldiers in case they were killed by the agile barbarians.
However, once these barbarians erupted, their destructive power was extremely shocking. Even with the protection of the Holy Dragon City cultivators, many Holy Dragon City soldiers still fell in pools of blood one after another!
