Chapter 511: The World is the Greatest Tragedy in the World (Part )
Inside Huyan City.

The hustle and bustle is still there. Although there are no enchanting and sexy dancers to liven up the atmosphere, the enthusiasm of the sandstorm soldiers is still high. By the campfire, the flames are dazzling, the aroma of wine is everywhere, people are arm in arm and drinking to their heart's content. The crisp sound of the wine bowls colliding seems to be playing a joyful symphony.

In a relatively quiet corner, the highest authority representatives of the Sandstorm Corps, the thousand-man commanders, were gathering together to drink.

"Brother, tell me, given time, when we truly unify the entire desert, will Lord Wang Yao become emperor?"

Zhang Ji, one of the 10,000-man commanders of the corps, was drunk and asked his brother beside him while he was daydreaming.

Zhang Yang rolled his eyes at his brother and said unhappily, "Do you think that Lord Wang Yao would care about these false reputations given his personality? Why are you asking this?"

"Hehe, I was thinking, if Lord Wang Yao becomes emperor, wouldn't we brothers be able to get some official positions as well?" Zhang Ji smiled a little embarrassedly: "Think about it, when we find our parents in the future, they will see that we can also become generals and officials, that would be considered an honor to the family, right? They will definitely be happy."

There is nothing wrong with going through life and death, being granted titles and becoming a prime minister, and achieving success and fame.

"Hmph, vulgar." In the corner, Jin Yong, who was obviously drunk, rested against the wall with his hands on the back of his head, and said disdainfully: "I don't care about being an official or not. If possible, I would rather follow the emperor to lead the army out of the desert and unify the nine provinces!"

Nearby, Liya, who was peeling nuts for everyone, also became interested. She smiled wickedly and gossiped, "Hey, if Lord Wang Yao really becomes emperor, do you think he will have many wives and concubines?"

It is not surprising that some wealthy businessmen in the desert, even if they do not have many wives and concubines, at least keep a few dancers as their private concubines.

Yu Yi, the elder sister of the sister pair, subconsciously said, "The Emperor is not that kind of person, Liya, you can't talk about the Emperor behind his back like that."

Luo Mengdan also said: "But there is indeed a precedent. It is rumored that the emperor who ruled the desert a thousand years ago had his own harem, and it is said that he had 3,000 beauties!"

"That's a lot?!" Liya took a big sip of wine, wiped her mouth and said in amazement: "Can you handle it? Aren't you tired?"

The Zhang brothers seemed to have been stabbed in the spine, and immediately followed the indecent heihei and said: "It's hard to say, it's just like eating, you will get tired of eating the same thing, but if you change it up every day, maybe it will be a different taste!"

The two wretched brothers were greeted by a handful of nut shells thrown by Leah.

Ling Feng suddenly interrupted and teased, "Liya, why are you asking these questions? Could it be that you have been secretly coveting Lord Wang Yao's body?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Liya was not angry or embarrassed, but she stood with her hands on her hips and said, "Hey, I am not worthy of you, but I believe Jingsi is worthy of you! As long as Lord Wang Yao is willing, there will be no problem with the beauty of the number one dancer in the Jingsi Corps!"

This critical hit shattered Ling Feng's faith on the spot, making him unable to laugh or cry. In the end, he could only walk to the corner alone, squat on the ground with a frown on his face, and drew circles with resentment. This funny scene also made everyone laugh.

But just as everyone was joking around, strange phenomena began to appear around them; the crowd, which was originally in a joyful atmosphere, gradually became agitated since some point.

Some soldiers were drinking and having fun with their companions the previous second, and the next second, after an acquaintance hurriedly ran over and whispered a few words, they turned pale, dropped the wine bowl in their hands, and quickly left the crowd.

"Impossible! My sister isn't there!"

"You're talking nonsense! Tell me you're just drunk and joking!"

"Ha! I don't believe it! This is impossible!!"

As time went on, the number of people like this increased, and the noise and commotion became louder and louder, along with the clanging of wine bowls hitting the ground, the crying of people who encountered sudden bad news, and the muffled sound of people accidentally falling to the ground in panic.
"What...what's going on?" Jin Yong was a little confused at first.

Why did a nice banquet suddenly become chaotic?
"Something's wrong, there might be a problem!" Romandan was the first to react. He quickly took out his weapons and equipment, and his companions around him also responded quickly and followed suit to prepare for battle.

As the commanders of the corps, each of them is a veteran with amazing combat power and quick reaction.

"The soldiers seem to be running towards the city gate?" "Could it be that the enemy is attacking us?!"

"Damn it, is this a ghost?! How can it be so chaotic!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Jin Yong suddenly stood up. His burly figure made him look like a small mountain, and he had the sense of oppression of a famous general. He shouted at the crowd, "Have you learned all our military rules? If we run out like this without any organization, what will we do if we encounter a large-scale enemy force?!"

Having said that, to be honest, it was the first time they saw the soldiers of the Corps being so disorderly and unruly. Such absurd situations usually only occurred to the enemy, so they couldn't help but speculate and be surprised.

But soon, they found out.

A scout under Romondan's command struggled to squeeze through the crowd and stumbled over. He glanced around the crowd in panic, and then fixed his somewhat scattered eyes on the captains of the army: "Captain! Something happened!"

"Explain the situation immediately!" Romondan asked with a gloomy face. His subordinate had always been calm and reliable, but now he was so panicked, which showed that the situation was extremely serious.

But the scout's face was pale, his eyes were filled with fear and despair, and he said: "Ten miles outside the city, there are a lot of dead bodies! Endless dead bodies!!"

"dead body?!"

"Where did it come from?"

"what happened?!"

Everyone's expression changed.

The scout's next words were a heavy blow to everyone present: "Captain! Those dead bodies are all family members of our regiment! The enemy, the enemy somehow found our family members. They, they killed everyone and dumped the bodies outside!!"

At this point, the scout, who was already out of breath, collapsed on the ground and burst into tears because of an emotional breakdown. At this moment, he was no longer a strong soldier, but someone's son, husband, and brother.

Apparently one of his family members was also among the victims, but in order to fulfill his duty as a scout, he managed to run all the way back and report the situation to the command group first.
As the scout finished his words, with his howling as the background, the air in the area suddenly seemed to condense, and deathly silence enveloped everyone without warning.

Liya opened her eyes wide and stepped back in disbelief. She was always lively and cheerful, but now she was like a flower that had withered. Her face was pale as she murmured, "How, how is it possible? How could it be? I have been looking for my sister for so long and couldn't find her. How did they find her?"

With a loud crash, the first to overturn the table in front of them and rush out were the equally pale-faced Zhang brothers, followed by Liya who had reacted, and then the Yuyi sisters who were holding their younger sister who had already started crying because of panic.

Liya's sister, Zhang's brothers' parents, Yu Yi and Yun Yi's parents, if the information is true, then...
Everyone hurriedly followed the crowd filled with grief as they rushed to the city gate. Obviously, facing the sad news of a family member's death, no one could remain indifferent, no matter how strong their mental strength was. The reason why those involved had not yet broken down on the spot was simply because they were temporarily unable to confirm whether their family members were really among them.

In an instant, the originally joyful bonfire party turned into a mess and desolation.

Outside Hu Yan City.

The extremely dark night finally faded away
But when the light of the rising sun shone down, the world was no longer bright and clear. The dazzling light, like a sharp knife, cut through the reality and reflected a hopeless human tragedy.

The desert was stained with blood and turned completely into a blood-red muddy ground. Countless dead bodies were kneeling on the ground to pray, like tombstones standing all over the mountains, filling the entire sight with no end. Their eyes were gouged out, their faces were covered in blood, and their bodies were pierced with countless steel nails and fixed like dolls.
The corpse spots on these soldiers' bodies were not particularly severe, which indicated that they had been dead for no more than 1 day. At that time, the unsuspecting Sand Storm soldiers were still partying and drinking in Hu Yan City. At that time, ten miles outside the city, their relatives and family members were being brutally slaughtered. This was the most despairing situation!
Those devastated people who ran out of the city upon hearing the bad news stretched from the city gate to the scene of the incident. They rushed to the scene like defeated soldiers who had thrown away their armor and weapons, and like dogs that had lost their homes, and witnessed this inhumane and tragic scene with their own eyes.

No one can bear such a scene. After years of searching, the relatives they thought about day and night appeared in front of them in such a tragic form. At this moment, facing the tragic state of the relatives who died in vain, there was no anger or resentment at the scene, only desperate crying and sobbing. People beat their chests and stamped their feet, people hugged each other and cried, and people were extremely sad.
A great man once said that the joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same, but the joys and sorrows of human beings are the same.

On this day, the Sand Storm Corps, a powerful armed force that had dominated the Yunzhong Desert for nearly two years and had terrified countless local armies, fell into an unprecedented collapse!

Such a dimensionality reduction attack was undoubtedly extremely heavy. It not only undermined the morale and fighting spirit of the Sandstorm Corps to the greatest extent, but also completely destroyed the psychological defenses of the Sandstorm Soldiers from the root, truly achieving the effect of killing people and destroying their hearts!
