Chapter 2212: Chapter 2212: Disaster in the Core Region
"Damn mud-legged people, how dare they attack our core region, who gave them the courage."
"After all, a new Saint has appeared over there, it’s imaginable that they’d be a bit bolder. But a Saint is a Saint, and for others to dare offend us, it’s really reckless."
"Exactly, they have a strong foundation here. Even if a new Saint appears in the peripheral region, they absolutely can’t be a match for the Saints here, after all, their birthplaces are different."
In their eyes, being born in the core region was synonymous with nobility, synonymous with strength.
Even if they were Saints, the ones from the core were definitely stronger. They never even considered whether any Saints from the core regions were truly born there; they were completely ignorant of this.
In short, people from the core region were noble, and for those mud-legged people to dare attack them was an affront that would absolutely not end well for them. This has been the talk of everyone these days. But in their eyes, those people from the countryside could not possibly pose any threat to them.
But today was different. While they were discussing, suddenly the ground began to shake. Then, as if from a massive earthquake, countless buildings collapsed. The ground split open, and various forces fell from the sky.
"What’s going on, what happened?" Countless people were startled, coming straight out of their homes.
In the air, a terrifying figure flew over, looking like a massive flaming monster. Wherever it went, countless fireballs rained down from the sky, and the sheer power of it made them feel fear.
"This is from the peripheral region, damn it, how dare they release power within the city."
As fireballs landed, countless self-important core-region people turned to ash in the firelight. With the sound of screams, they finally realized that these people could not be threatened by them at all.
This time they really meant it, and once they truly started fighting, these civilians could only wait for death.
What nobility, it’s all self-deception. If the overall strength of the core region were stronger, how could it suppress the surrounding regions? But in this world, after all, strength reigns supreme.
Even if people from other surrounding regions appear, as long as their strength surpasses yours, killing you would still be easy.
Some people understood this truth, some did not. There were even some on the street shouting curses at the powerful ones in the sky or trying to reason with them.
What they did not know is that even reasoning must be based on equal strength.
Thus, these ant-like people did not hinder the other’s steps at all. Wherever the other flew, various forces descended, some people died on the spot, others were lucky and were not torn apart.
Unfortunately, the other party was completely unaware of their existence, or rather, their existence was too small, so small that the other party couldn’t be bothered to pay attention. Some people suddenly awoke to this realization and were deeply terrified.
But some brainless people still wanted to chase after them.
It didn’t take long for them to lose that idea. Because after the initial attacks, undead creatures made their appearance. This time the undead did not fight directly at the front but instead summoned those who had died to be revived as undead warriors for the next battle.
It might not intervene in the upper tier of the war, but the lower tiers it certainly could.
This time, to quickly gather forces, Du You assembled only those at tier seven and eight, who crossed hazardous areas directly to the core without using spatial channels.
Because they didn’t bring their own troops, some thought of creating temporary undead.
This is the undead’s combat style, previously unused. Anyway, those from the core region looked down on those from surrounding areas, it wasn’t so easy to rule them.
So they simply killed off some, leaving the rest docile. So the command center directly drafted such a plan, which Du You agreed to after reviewing. Now Du You is no longer who he was when he just debuted.
To this degree of slaughter, he is completely unfazed.
As slaughters continued in some surrounding cities, gradually the deeply ingrained fear began to erupt. Those civilians finally understood their own vulnerability, and when the other side entirely disregarded their status, what did they have left.
If you talk about status, it was just something they themselves labeled onto themselves, meaning nothing to the strong.
Now, the harsh reality woke them up completely, they realized that without strength, they could only be at the mercy of others. This brutal reality led some to collapse, but those who didn’t collapse finally became sober.
Those who remain unsober will eventually die, then be turned into undead warriors continuing in battle. In this kind of battlefield, these kinds of people don’t receive sympathy from anyone.
Even the strong ones from their core region didn’t care; they only cared about their own interests.
"Damn bastards, what are you doing. Are you challenging the core region?"
Finally, a strong person from the core region appeared, standing in the path of the flaming monster. Below were some people who abruptly stopped running, starting to shout loudly towards the sky.
But those in the sky didn’t care about them at all, and the flaming monster roared angrily, directly moving to attack. Both sides began fighting, the aftermath of it didn’t come weaker than the earlier destruction. Rather, because they fought with full force, the destructive power was even stronger.
Those who stopped to welcome their city’s strongman turned to ash right on the spot, deterring other distant onlookers from stopping their retreat. When the strong fight, being even nearby is extremely dangerous.
"Hahaha, so this is the strength of the central core region’s strongmen. Indeed, your basic strength is high, your gear is good, but you all don’t know how to fight." After a while of fighting, the flame monster suddenly laughed.
Because he realized, their hard power was higher than his, their equipment was better, typically he’d be suppressed in a fight. But now, he easily dominated the fight.
He quickly understood, the central core region’s cultivation conditions were too good, too easy, with plenty of resources, no need to compete. The guy in front of him was surely a self-cultivated type from the academy faction, who didn’t know how to fight at all.
Theoretically, his knowledge might be vast, but when it came to actually fight, he was all talk and no action.
