Chapter 1443: Life and Death
Pope Peter drew a pie for the nearly 200,000 people in the Church of Light who chose to rebel, and although this pie was not perfect, it was much better than the whole human race being demonized. The most important thing is that with the protection of the "Black Qi Talisman", human beings can still thrive and not become extinct. When you think about it, they may take on the responsibility of the continuation of all mankind, and no one will feel guilty anymore, and many people will even begin to be proud. As for whether the final outcome will be as portrayed by Pope Peter, I am afraid it will take time to test......
Although it took a lot of time because of the ideological and political work, Pope Peter did not care. Because, Pope Peter believes that all the effort is worth it. Besides, Pope Peter didn't care about giving humanity a little more respite. Because, in the opinion of Pope Peter, no matter how prepared mankind is, it will not be able to avoid defeat. However, in the process, Pope Peter intends to take a small part of it and satisfy his own spiritual needs. After all, he Peter Pope is still a human being strictly speaking, and man is a social animal of the highest rank!
The ensuing battle was almost unsuspenseful. Although the human army struggled to support itself on the basis of strong fortifications, it was ultimately unable to withstand the attack of the growing ghosts. Although, in the process, the human army has also achieved some brilliant achievements. For example, the Ghost of the Underworld wanted to use the previous tactics, but unfortunately, he had already been prepared to drift away, and immediately commanded the demon archers to destroy the wooden catapult that had not yet had time to launch.
Drifting without a trace grasps the time very delicately, when the soul is forcibly poured into the onicha's body and placed in the catapult...... The catapult was destroyed, and the soul that had been forcibly poured into it could not be removed...... As a result, a violent "roar" sounded in the group of ghosts......
The power of that explosion was absolutely amazing! As the mushroom clouds rose, countless ghosts and creatures were instantly shattered. Since there was no follow-up force to follow up, the human army suppressed the attack of various ghosts near the city wall in one fell swoop, and won itself a precious respite!
It's a pity that although countless ghost creatures were shattered, they only turned into black gas, but they were not really destroyed. It didn't take long for the black qi to condense and form again, and then it launched a frantic attack again. The difficulty of ghosts to be truly killed is one of the main reasons why the human army is difficult to win and retreat.
Although these ghosts are difficult to completely destroy, they have a fatal flaw, that is, they are not highly intelligent. Although the attack was frustrated due to the catapult, the ghosts of the underworld just didn't know how to learn a lesson, and after condensing and forming, they still used the same attack strategy, so another violent "roar" sounded in the group of ten thousand ghosts......
This was repeated several times, and Pope Peter finally couldn't stand it anymore. Under his orders, the Underworld finally stopped the attack of this stupid wooden trebuchet that only dealt a heavy blow to his own side.
If you think that the ghost of the underworld has given up the big killer weapon of "forcibly instilling souls" since then, then you are absolutely wrong. Just because a wooden trebuchet is not feasible does not mean that the method of throwing it is not feasible. Therefore, under the painstaking research of Pope Peter, the ghost of the underworld has finally found an effective alternative!
To put it bluntly, this method is actually very simple, that is, the cooperation of the four underworld ghosts. There are two underworld ghosts that are used as scaffolds. The bodies of the demons are all abnormally hard, so they can easily embed their feet in the rocky ground. Next, another underworld ghost will be used as a bowstring. I saw him grasp the underworld ghost on one side with both hands, and hook the underworld ghost on the other side with both feet. Finally, the fourth underworld ghost cha put the "corpse" that was "forcibly poured into the soul" on the waist of the "onicha bowstring", and then pulled it missionarily until the "onicha bowstring" was pulled to the shape of a half-moon, and then let go......
The body of the underworld ghost is so hard, and after being pulled to the half-moon shape, the force generated is simply amazing. Therefore, in the sound of "whoosh", one by one the "corpses" that were "forcibly poured into the soul" fell to the head of the city or directly embedded in the city wall, and then in the violent explosion of "boom", the strong and tall city wall began to become full of holes and crumbling......
It was with this new type of tactic that it didn't take too long for all kinds of ghosts to overcome one human defense line after another. Although, in order to preserve the living force, the supreme order to "retreat decisively when he saw that nothing could be done" was issued without a trace, the human army still suffered heavy losses, and in just half a month, it lost more than one million. In just half a month, the human army has lost the rich Central Plains. As a result, the human army had to disperse and defend the two positions of the East Hammer and the Southwest. Moreover, in the process of retreating, a large number of ordinary people who did not have time to evacuate fell. Now, it seems, humanity has reached an existential critical juncture......
Throughout the war, Pope Peter refused to allow the rebellious Church of Light army to enter the war. Because, Pope Peter was reluctant. After all, the rebellious Church of Light army is still composed of people, and it does not have an "immortal body" like those ghosts. If you lose one, you will lose one!
However, on each occasion, Pope Peter would always appear on the battlefield with the army of the rebellious Church of Light. Of course, they will only hide in the rear where the war cannot reach. However, it is precisely because of this that in the first unexpected explosion, the rebellious army of the Church of Light was also affected and suffered heavy losses. On that occasion alone, the nearly 200,000 Church of Light army suffered more than half of the casualties!
Pope Peter, in his heartache, learned his lesson and no longer dared to be so close to any of the underworld's ghosts. It is also because he is afraid of any more accidents, so Pope Peter will not hesitate to come up with an effective "stone-throwing" method for the ghosts of the underworld.
In fact, Pope Peter's approach of bringing the rebellious Church of Light army into battle worked wonders. After seeing the miraculous scene of human beings being able to coexist peacefully with ghosts, there were indeed many people from the Church of Light, and even people outside the Church of Light chose to betray. So, within half a month of victory, the number of rebel human armies under the control of Pope Peter had reached a terrifying 500,000. It's just that these 500,000 are all combatants, so men occupy an absolute number, and women only have a pitiful two or three thousand. This serious imbalance in the ratio of men and women seems to make it difficult to realize the "good" wish of "human reproduction".
