Chapter 901 The City is Burning
Ronald flew all the way south of Waterfall City.
It didn't take long for him to see the fire spreading in the distance, as well as the noisy voices on the city ground that could be heard far away.
As evidenced by the fireworks markings burning in the sky.
Rebels are attacking the city.
Judging from the actual scene observed by Ronald, their offensive was quite smooth. During the period between his previous cleanup of the eukaryotes and his subsequent arrival, a large number of rebels had poured in from the southern city entrance and completely dragged the city's defense forces into a quagmire of street fighting.
"..."
After witnessing this scene, Ronald felt a little complicated.
In his previous encounters, Ronald had completely seen the cause of the resistance's behavior. But it is undeniable that among the people fighting with the rebels in this city at this moment, there are actually some people who should not have died here.
Yet this is reality.
Once people's behavior reaches the final stage of violence.
The so-called right and wrong can only become incidental between life and death.
"..."
Thinking like this.
Without saying a word, Ronald lowered himself from the air.
Because he found that the two warring parties also involved other spell casters in the city. They were still flying in the air at this moment, which might bring unnecessary trouble to him.
In comparison, even though the situation on the ground is quite chaotic, at least people have limited vision. It won't attract a lot of hostile looks at once like attacking air targets.
After landing on the ground, the destruction of the city by the war came into Ronald's eyes more clearly and more closely.
-The city is burning.
Neither the rebels nor the military and police officers on Entrod's side protecting Falls City had any intention of destroying the city. It's just that once you get into a life-and-death situation, you won't take into account these things that you usually notice.
Whether it's his own stray bullets that hurt someone, or his spilled spells that hurt innocent people.
When fighting, protecting your own life and killing the enemy is the first priority.
Destroy the city.
But this is what is bound to happen in such a fierce battle.
boom!
Suddenly, a gunshot was heard behind Ronald.
Under a rare early warning from the [Instinct] spell of "The Origin of Species", the moment Ronald heard the sound, he followed the spell's control, turned around and missed the bullet fired from behind him.
Then he turned around and looked.
A middle-aged man dressed as a hunter and with an extremely nervous expression was pointing a shotgun at him, all dirty.
"..."
Ronald felt a little emotional.
This middle-aged man's insight is indeed very strong.
Although Ronald walked alone in the opposite direction in the city in the war zone, he also paid attention to avoiding the main war zone and concealed his figure to a certain extent.
The other party can detect his own progress in this situation.
It was obviously his excellent qualities as a hunter that allowed him to do this.
As for this unexpected shooting...
for ordinary people, this is definitely a fatal danger that takes away lives. But Ronald also understood the hunter's nervousness at the moment of war, so he did not retaliate against the other party for this.
He just stood there and waved to the hunter, then Ronald continued to move forward and disappeared from the opponent's sight.
"..."
behind Ronald.
The hunter holding the gun looked at the figure leaving in the distance with a surprised look on his face.
Being able to dodge the gunfire from behind with his physical strength, he was sure that this young man was a powerful wizard. But this kind of attitude of avoiding the attack without retaliating, but calmly leaving.
But it caused some changes in the hunter's thinking.
...
On the other side, Ronald continued to move forward.
Having reached this point, he actually had a good understanding of the status of both warring parties and could see the direction of the war situation at this moment.
If things don't take a sudden turn for the better.
The party with the advantage in this battle is probably the rebels who suddenly launched the attack.
The annoyances of various things in recent days have made the guardians of Waterfall City physically and mentally exhausted. Coupled with the fact that the top leaders have also suffered a serious blow, the city's protective power is almost at its lowest point in history.
On the other hand, look at the side attacking the city.
The composition of the resistance forces is quite special. The main force of the battle comes from some men wearing miners' uniforms, or hunters like the hunter who just shot Ronald. Occasionally, you can see herdsmen holding cold weapons. .
Ronald knew the situation well.
In fact, this is the main productivity structure of Entrod.
Because it is located in a cold area and the industrial power is not very developed, farmers and factory workers are a very small minority here.
In such an environment, the forces that unite the rebels are naturally these hunters, miners and herdsmen.
There are no rules in the world that are perfectly applicable at all times and in all places.
Only the choice that best suits the actual situation can achieve the best results.
This is just like uniting workers in some places can lead to victory, and uniting farmers in other places can lead to success. The leaders of the resistance obviously had a deep understanding of the conditions of the land of Entrod, so they chose the most suitable path for walking on this land.
...
Thinking about what he saw and heard before his eyes, he continued to move forward.
But Ronald was actually a little confused at the moment.
He had clearly seen everything in front of him, but found that he was the third party outside of it.
As for things like helping...
As early as when talking to Shitil, the other party had already made it clear that they wanted to stand up with their own strength.
Boom!
Suddenly, Ronald's keen hearing heard the sound of a beam collapsing.
He turned his head in the direction of the sound.
I found that about twenty meters in front of me to my left, the load-bearing wall of a three-story house suddenly collapsed at this moment because it could not withstand the heat of the flames.
Without the important wall support, other parts of the three-story house can no longer bear the weight of the building.
Just a few seconds.
This small building, which was originally three stories high and could be regarded as a luxurious residence nearby, tilted in one direction and collapsed.
Ronald could clearly feel the shaking on the ground when the building collapsed from under his feet.
"..."
Ronald was stunned for only a moment.
The next second, he exerted force directly under his feet, and his whole body rushed towards the collapsed building like a bolt of lightning.
The reason for Ronald's sudden action was simple.
Because at the location of the collapsed house, in addition to the sound of the building collapsing, he also heard a weak and young sob!
