Even from the perspective and judging standards of people a long time later, on July 7, 890 in the Black Iron Calendar, everything the Zhen family of Tianhan City of Jinyun Kingdom in the Weiyi Subcontinent did in Tianhan City was regarded by many people as a landmark event for the advent of the Third Terran Holy War.
In the first two holy wars, the standard for the arrival of the Terran holy war was that the city of the Terran was destroyed or captured by the demons, and the "Tianhan City Incident" that happened in Tianhan City on this day, although there was no direct action from the demons, but Tianhan City still fell.
Although it was the lackey of the demon clan and the remnant of the Three-Eyed Society, the "Tianhan City Incident" still sounded the clarion call for the third holy war of the human race.
Before the "Tianhan City Incident", according to public information, there were more than 1.3 million people in Tianhan City, and after the "Tianhan City Incident", after many efforts and rescues, the population that survived in Tianhan City was less than 30,000, and the entire Tianhan City has since become a ghost.
If you have to find some positive content in this tragedy with millions of casualties as the background, then, according to the perspective of this era, perhaps there is only one biggest effect, that is, to make people who were originally ignorant of the arrival of the holy war wake up all of a sudden.
The incident in Tiancold City was like a thunderclap on the ground, which suddenly woke up many people who were not mentally prepared for the arrival of the Third Holy War, and made some information that only a few people knew known about at once, so that most ordinary people had more time to prepare for future upheavals.
Not only ordinary people were frightened, but even those who had already prepared for the arrival of the Holy War were also frightened, especially for the latter, after knowing the details of the incident in Tianhan City, everyone knew that the tragic degree of the Third Terran Holy War would be unprecedented.
There is only one reason why the big shots made this judgment, and that is the worm of the Zhen family that caused the "Tiancold City Incident".
The bug that was pinched and exploded by Zhen Quan was not an ordinary bug, but a puppet worm, one of the most terrifying creatures in the demon race.
The puppet worm appeared in the later stage of the Second Terran Holy War, because the appearance of this bug made the Second Terran Holy War, which was already nearing the end, fight for nearly fifteen more years, and the number of humans who died directly and indirectly at the hands of this kind of bug was as high as billions.
There have even been human historians who asserted that if the appearance of puppet worms could be fifty years earlier, or if the demons had mastered the method of large-scale hatching and production of puppet worms, then it would still be a question mark whether the human race could exist today.
The puppet worm itself has no great force or lethality, and there are two reasons why this most terrifying creature among the demons is terrifying.
For one reason, a mature puppet worm is like a terrifying queen ant or queen bee, laying hundreds of thousands of eggs a day.
The eggs of the puppet worm are very small, how small are they, its eggs are almost several times larger than the ordinary size of E. coli, the size is between 1530 microns, it is completely impossible to find with the human eye, this kind of eggs, can only be seen under a microscope.
The eggs of the puppet worm are not only similar in size to bacteria, but also like some powerful bacteria, it has super terrifying survival ability and environmental adaptability, and at a temperature of minus 50 degrees Celsius, this kind of insect eggs can survive for half a year; In temperatures of 120 degrees Celsius, the eggs can survive for more than 48 hours.
Most common insecticides and sterilization drugs are also ineffective against the eggs of puppet worms.
After entering the human body, the eggs of the puppet worm can circulate through the human blood circulation to the human brain, and then begin to grow and hatch in the human brain.
And once the eggs of the puppet worm have finished growing and hatching, then the person who is inhabited by the puppet worm will die, and his body will completely become a walking corpse controlled by the mother worm, completely losing all self-consciousness, no thinking, no pain, no emotion, preferring to kill and devour the flesh and blood of all living beings, and degenerate into an existence inferior to the beast.
The beast is at least spiritual, but the person who is inhabited by the eggs of the puppet worm is, so to speak, no longer human, but just a flesh zombie dressed in human clothing.
In the later stage of the Second Holy War, the Demon Race created tens of millions of puppet legions in just a few years through a small number of puppet worms, bringing great disasters and catastrophes to the entire human world.
It can be said that every puppet worm cultivated by the demon race is carrying a mountain of corpses and blood of the human race.
To the Terrans, this is a terrifying creature that is almost invincible.
It was only after the entire human race paid a great price that some of the characteristics of this terrifying creature were slowly learned.
The eggs of the puppet worm are very powerful, it is difficult to find and eliminate, but there is a weakness, all the eggs are very dependent on the existence of the puppet worm mother, and the eggs of each puppet worm, from the beginning of birth, have a mysterious and unbreakable connection with the puppet worm mother.
The eggs of a puppet worm that can survive in many harsh conditions, even after hatching, will die naturally if they are more than a certain distance away from the puppet worm mother, say 200 kilometers or hundreds of kilometers away, without exception.
All eggs are for the female.
The female worm of the puppet worm can control the brains of thousands of people who are inhabited by eggs, but it itself does not have much self-protection, the individual is very fragile, and needs the protection of other hatched puppet worms, if there is no such protection, let alone a person, if it is thrown on the ground, even a dog can kill it and eat it in the stomach.
In addition, it takes four years for the eggs of the puppet worm to complete hatching from entering the human body to complete the hatching and turning the host into a puppet like a flesh zombie, during this time, if the mother of the puppet worm dies suddenly, then the eggs of all the puppet worms living in the human brain will complete hatching in a very short time, and after the eggs of the puppet worm hatch in such a way, they are no longer under anyone's control, and begin to attack and destroy all creatures from the mother body of the puppet worm that are different from themselves.
This kind of destruction and attack is like avenging the mother worm, crazy, persistent, and no one can stop it within the effective sensing distance from the final death point of the female worm.
Zhen Quan's pinching to death of the puppet worm mother worm was just a simple action, but in fact, he crushed and pinched to death at the same time, as well as those people in Tianhan City and this city who were inhabited by the puppet worm eggs.
According to the investigation and analysis after the fact, when the Zhen family ruled Tianhan City, the Zhen family put the eggs laid by the puppet worm mother into the tap water supply system of Tianhan City, so as to silently let the eggs of the puppet worms easily enter the mouths of thousands of innocent people, and completed the sojourn process of the puppet worm eggs on nearly one million soldiers and civilians in Tiancold City.
What frightened and shocked some people even more was not the puppet worm itself, but the fact that the puppet worm appeared in the hands of the Zhen family.
The puppet worm is not a cabbage, this kind of thing is extremely precious even to the demons, at the end of the second human holy war, only a few demon legions are equipped with such a puppet worm, and it is personally controlled and controlled by the commander of the demon clan, and now, there are puppet worms in the Zhen family, what does this mean The Zhen family is a member of the Demon Clan's remnant Three-Eyed Society, and the Three-Eyed Society is the peripheral force of the Demon Clan's development among the human race, and now, the originally precious puppet worm actually appeared in the hands of the Demon Clan's peripheral forces, so what about the Demon Clan, how many puppet worms does the Demon Clan have mastered now, has the Demon Clan cultivated a more powerful puppet worm The entire Weiyi Subcontinent, and how many remnants of the Three-Eyed Society like the Zhen family in Tianhan City are still hidden These questions are the most fatal.
And for more intelligent people who know the details of this matter, since the lackeys of the demon race have already started to release the eggs of the puppet worms in the Tianhan City, judging by the hatching time of the puppet worm eggs, the duration of the final countdown of the third Terran holy war is only four years at most.
In fact, of course, it will be shorter, because everyone doesn't know the specific time when the Zhen family put the puppet worm eggs in Tianhan City, so it can only be judged from the longest hatching period of the puppet worm eggs, if the Zhen family only threw the eggs into the water supply system of Tianhan City yesterday, then the time of the holy war will naturally be four years, but if the Zhen family put the eggs into the water supply system of Tianhan City a year ago, or even two years ago, then the time before the outbreak of the full-scale holy war will be even shorter.
Because if it weren't for the full arrival of the holy war between the human race and the demon race, giving the Zhen family 10,000 guts, it would not dare to turn so many people into flesh and blood zombies controlled by puppet worms in Tianhan City, in that case, the Zhen family would really become the target of the human race, and it would be erased in an instant.
Only when or after the war between the demons and the human race starts, with the demons as a backer, in order to cooperate with the war between the demons and the human race, it is possible for the Zhen family to do such an inhumane thing in Tianhan City.
Therefore, the specific time when the eggs of those puppet worms in Tianhan City will complete hatching is definitely a very important time point.
Of course, as a participant and witness of the "Tianhan City Incident", these contents were gradually known to Zhang Tie in the next few days, and at that time, the first order received by all the Huaiyuantang family soldiers and elites in the Qingshi Pass Fortress made everyone feel strange.
That order came from the airship, and asked the elite of Huaiyuantang, who raided the Qingshi Pass fortress, to cut off the heads of the corpses of all the Zhen family soldiers as quickly as possible, which was a bloody, cruel and puzzling order.
When they began to execute this order, many people were a little puzzled, and Zhang Tie was also a little puzzled, but when most of the heads of those corpses were cut off, and the remaining corpses that did not have their heads cut off began to twist and struggle to stand up after a few minutes, some of the girls from Qianlong Hall who participated in the action and saw this scene were directly frightened and cried:
