Chapter 869: Xinoning under great pressure
Kinich looked at Shao Yun who was trying to stop him, put his right hand on his chest, and said, "Mr. Shao Yun, I appreciate your kindness."
"But as a hero of Nata, I have the responsibility and obligation to fight on the front line. This is my mission and my honor. What kind of hero is a hero who hides in the back?"
After saying this, Kinich immediately rushed to the north of the main body of the abyss to investigate its movements.
Seeing Kinic running away, Shao Yun didn't know whether to chase him or not. In the end, he could only stamp his feet helplessly.
If you die, Nata will be finished!
However, no matter how upset he was, Shao Yun took the initiative to ask Mavica: "What do you need me to do?"
Mavica took a deep look at the Holy Fire Arena which was about to be blown into ruins by the missiles fired by the Ruins Guardians transformed from the Abyss Monsters.
"Now, I need you to help me restore order in the arena. During your absence, abyss monsters fell from the sky and broke into the arena, and many people were unfortunately killed..."
When Shao Yun heard that the abyss monster rushed into the Holy Fire Arena, his heart trembled.
It's over, this is terrible...
"Okay, I'll go help right away."
Mavica propped herself up and said after regaining some strength, "I will also go to help. I need to give everyone confidence."
After saying that, she dropped the Earthshaker two-handed sword in her hand, walked towards the Holy Fire Arena, and threw herself into the rescue work.
At this moment, a series of prompt messages suddenly popped up on Shao Yun's system.
[Current number of Nata casualties: 9942]
[Death toll in the Abyss attack on the Holy Fire Arena conflict: 7606]
[The Eye of the Abyss was stabbed by the light of the Holy Fire and needs some time to recover before launching the next large-scale attack]
[The ground veins are in chaos, and the power of the Holy Fire Shelter has been weakened, but it can still resist the invasion of the Abyss. You can establish a call with the Abyss in the Holy Fire Arena.]
Shao Yun was devastated when he saw the number of nearly 10,000 deaths displayed on the system screen.
"How can we continue the fight? Even if we finally defeat the abyss, Nata will probably become a land without roosters crowing and without human habitation for thousands of miles!"
At this time, the system popped up another prompt.
[The Eye of the Abyss hangs in the air, which is a big blow to Nata's morale]
[The Nata people's fighting spirit has been weakened. 】
Shao Yun raised his head, looked at the dark sky, and muttered to himself:
"Let's put aside the morale issue for now. I'm more worried about whether Mavica will collapse because of this... Many of the people who came to the Holy Flame Arena for refuge are elderly people, children, and the wounded..."
The system will pop up a prompt to indicate approval.
[Yes, you need to be mentally prepared. When you go to tame the Apocalypse Horse "War", many abyss monsters will rush in through the abyss gate that falls from the sky. When you go to clean up the scene, you must be mentally prepared.]
……
After the fierce battle, the Holy Flame Arena presented a horrific scene.
The outer walls have been shattered by the ruins guards and ruins machinery transformed from the abyss.
Many Beast Hounds used the Abyss Gate to bypass the defenses built by the Fatui and Nata warriors and rushed into the Holy Fire Arena and even the House of Ennui.
These ferocious monsters launched a brutal massacre on the seriously injured soldiers, wounded soldiers, unarmed elderly people and children inside.
The entire Holy Fire Arena was filled with a disgusting, heavy smell of blood, like a bloody slaughterhouse, just like Lion Camel Ridge.
Blood, stench, and broken limbs.
Countless corpses lay scattered on the ground, some with mutilated limbs, others were torn beyond recognition, and there were hardly any intact corpses.
The most horrifying thing was that dozens of children's bodies were lying coldly in a corner of the Holy Fire Arena.
The cause of death of these children was without exception: their throats and abdomens were ruthlessly bitten open by the beast hounds, and their tender bodies were dyed red with blood.
Such a scene was so horrifying that many staff members of the Holy Flame Arena, even the battle-hardened Nata warriors and Fatui, showed physiological fear reactions and began to vomit.
Finally, faced with the bodies of dozens of children, Shao Yun and Capitano, the two people with the strongest mentality, took on the responsibility of dealing with these bodies.
Shao Yun had killed many people and was also a general of Haizhi Island, so he had a strong psychological endurance.
Capitano had seen similar scenes and was mentally prepared.
……
After a whole day of hard cleaning, the bodies in the Holy Flame Arena were finally cleared away by the afternoon.
The entity of the abyss, the "Eye of the Abyss", hung high in the air, and the entire sky was covered with a thick shadow.
There was no sun during the day and no moon at night, and the whole of Nata was dead silent.
This is the conspiracy of the abyss.
In this way, it erodes the Nata people's fighting spirit and combat effectiveness, making them gradually sink into endless darkness and despair.
However, the more difficult problem is that there are too many bodies piled up like a mountain. Moreover, there are very few intact bodies, and most of them are human tissues and fragments, which are unbearable to look at.
In this situation, Mavica had to make a difficult decision to burn the bodies together.
This is not only because Nata is currently in a critical period of confrontation with the abyss and has no time to collect each corpse individually.
More importantly, such a large number of corpses piled together would inevitably cause a terrible plague.
The Holy Fire Arena is a refuge for the Nata people. If a plague breaks out, the consequences will be disastrous.
(Although Shao Yun tamed the Apocalypse horse "Plague", it does not mean that the plague will not break out if the corpse rots.)
After finishing all the things he needed to do, Shao Yun finally had time to relax himself.
He lit a cigar, then sat quietly on the steps at the main entrance of the Holy Fire Arena, took a deep breath, let the smoke slowly dissipate in his mouth, felt the unique smell of tobacco, and calmed his mood...
Just then, Xinoning walked in front of Shao Yun.
Shao Yun raised his head and looked at Xinoning, noticing that something seemed wrong with her.
Xinoning stood in front of Shao Yun, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "Mr. Shao Yun, can you do me a favor?"
Shao Yun frowned and shook the cigar in his hand, and the ashes fell. He stared at Xinoning and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Sinoning looked towards the office not far away and said thoughtfully, "I think Mavica may need to talk to you."
Shao Yun was somewhat confused by what Xinoning said. He asked in confusion: "Talk about it? What do you mean? What exactly is it about?"
Xinoning did not answer immediately, but sat down next to Shao Yun with a haggard face.
The tragedy that just happened in the Olympic Flame Arena had a great impact on Sinonen.
The bloody scene and chaotic situation were constantly tormenting her heart. It was all too crazy.
She felt that she could no longer bear it, and perhaps a cigar could help relieve some of the pressure in her heart...
Then she reached out, took the cigar from Shao Yun's hand, and was about to take a puff.
However, Shao Yun quickly snatched the cigar back and warned: "Smoking is harmful to your health! Don't learn from me!"
As Shao Yun spoke, he casually threw the cigar in his hand to the ground and stepped on it.
Xinoning looked at Shao Yun's double-standard behavior, curled his lips and said, "Okay, you are right. Smoking is harmful to health, anti-smoking ambassador..."
However, Sinonen did not dwell on this topic too much, but quickly brought the conversation back to business.
"As I just told you, I hope you can go talk to Mavica."
"As you know, the tribes have sent many elderly people, children, and wounded people, but many people have died... I'm worried that Mavica won't be able to bear this blow and will collapse emotionally."
When Shao Yun heard that Mavica might have a breakdown, he nodded.
"I can understand Mavica's feelings. When I was helping, I saw a woman holding her child who was half-chopped in half by an abyss monster. Then, she fainted from crying..."
"I also saw the wounded who were torn to death by the Beast Realm hounds in the ward of the House of Ennui. Their organs and blood were smeared all over the walls. And..."
At this point, Shao Yun's voice choked up a little. He pointed in the direction where the dozens of children were being slaughtered by the Beast Realm hounds, and continued:
"The bodies of those children who were mauled to death by the Beast Realm hounds were also handled by Capitano and I."
When Xinoning heard Shao Yun talking about the dozens of children who died tragically, he covered his lips tightly and his stomach churned.
"Don't say anymore... I saw it too... I'm going to vomit..."
