The boy's heartbeat almost stopped along with his breathing.
The illusory world in front of me is shattered like a butterfly in a storm.
The broken butterfly corpses form a beautiful and magnificent picture.
In the endless sea of stars, a galaxy-like road spreads toward the other side.
The silver-white road is covered with burning thorns, and the charred thorns secrete venom that is enough to make people miserable.
This is the path to “realness”.
This is the path to "humanity".
Do you really want to embark on such a path?
Gus's Adam's apple rolled, and he felt like a ball of molten steel was about to spurt out from his chest.
He knew that this was most likely the devil's method, but he couldn't say anything, and he didn't want to say a word of rebuttal.
"Let's go."
Lu Qingchen smiled, not caring what Gus thought in his heart, but grabbed the young man's wrist, "Let's go to the final battlefield!"
Gus returned to the wounded barracks in a daze.
At this time, the fighting on the front line became more intense.
Even though they were still dozens of miles away from the front line, the thunderous rumblings on the battlefield were still like a stormy sea, surging over one after another, making people feel numb from the eardrums to the soles of the feet.
The flames on the horizon burned all the way from the battlefield to the sky, making the night sky look like a large, red-hot iron pot turned upside down, with a huge hole ready to be burned out of the bottom of the pot at any time.
It had been a long time since any wounded soldiers had been transported down.
There were quite a few panicked soldiers who broke away, discarding their helmets and armor, and passed through the wounded barracks in a chaotic manner.
It was found that only the old, weak, women, children, and lonely ghosts were left in the wounded barracks.
These defeated soldiers did not bother to cause trouble, but continued to flee southward in a panic.
Gus and Gray had the courage to ask them about the situation on the front line.
The defeated soldiers could not explain clearly.
They only knew that the two armies were fighting fiercely and inextricably.
There were sieges and counter-sieges everywhere, collapse and gathering. and crashed again.
The Steam Army is a ragtag group that hastily formed an army.
No matter the discipline, morale or training, it is far inferior to the Iron Fist Army.
Once a small group of troops is defeated and collapsed, it will be difficult to assemble again.
In the confusion, as long as there are one or two cowards and fear of war, Cowering in the face of battle often triggers a chain reaction, causing hundreds or thousands of people to flee together.
Many steam troops did not even see the enemy's face, so they escaped in a daze, and there were some.
After all, the Iron Fist Army is a well-trained elite who has fought a hundred battles.
Even if they are injured and disabled, as long as they do not lose their mobility, they can gather again and go into the battlefield without changing their expressions.
Having said that, this is the southern boundary after all, and it is considered the home ground of the Mechanical and Steam Cult.
As the saying goes, "An elephant in large numbers will kill an elephant."
If the quantity of the mob exceeds the limit, it may also overwhelm the quality.
It is true that many rabble-rousers collapsed at the first touch or even collapsed without a fight.
However, the news that the main forces of both sides were entangled spread in all directions, and more rabble-rousers kept coming.
As the number of rabble-rousers increased, the advantage of numbers was strength.
It is becoming more and more effective, and the battle line is gradually stabilizing.
Therefore, it is still unclear who will win.
Perhaps both sides are getting closer and closer to the limit of victory, defeat and life and death, just like two boxers gritting their teeth and persisting, both expecting that with just one last heavy punch, the other party will collapse and never get up again.
"We should go to the front line!"
Gus and Gray find Andre.
This remnant of the steam army from the north was tasked with guarding the wounded barracks and did not participate in the decisive battle between the main forces of the two sides.
But during their journey south, they witnessed more than one "miracle" performed by Gus, and they worshiped Gus to the point of fanaticism.
What's more, what Gus said makes sense.

"Now that the war has entered an anxious stage, the main forces of both sides are holding on to their last breath.
Whoever can get a new bargaining chip at this time - even a small and insignificant chip, may trigger a chain reaction and tip the balance of victory.
Fall to your side!"
Gus gritted his teeth and said, "Although we don't have many people and are not strong, who says we can't be the key chip that determines victory or defeat?
"As for danger, of course there is danger, but we have come all the way south here.
Is there any other option besides taking the risk?
"You must know that those defeated troops are all natives of the hometown.
Even if the steam army is really defeated, as long as they hide in the reed swamps with dense water nets or hide in the mountains of 100,000 mountains, no one can find them.
"As for us, we all come from the north.
We killed countless Iron Fist Army and Fist Temple priests on our way south.
We have already signed up at the Fist Temple.
If the Steam Army is really defeated, the Iron Fist Army will take advantage of the victory to pursue the victory and launch a large-scale war.
If there is a search, we have no hope of escaping the dragnet.
"So, whether it is to defeat the Iron Fist Army and the Fist Temple, completely... control our own destiny, or just to survive, we should go against the current and fight towards the battlefield of the decisive battle!"
Gus's words deeply touched the hearts of every remnant.
Of course, it is more likely that these remnants remembered the earth-shattering and devastating power of the bolt gun, Vulcan cannon, and hive launcher.
If when the two armies are anxious, they come out as a surprise force and help Gus use that terrifying weapon to directly destroy the core of the Iron Fist Army, it is indeed very possible to win the victory in one fell swoop.
Everything was decided like this.
The remnant soldiers were originally responsible for guarding the wounded barracks, but that was a task when the wounded, old and weak, and supplies were sufficient.
Now, the wounded barracks has almost become a ghost, and there is no point in stationing here anymore.
The remnant soldiers were already on the alert, but Gus inspired their last vitality and desire for survival.
A moment later, they became the only rebels among the countless defeated soldiers.
Many defeated soldiers were naturally surprised when they saw the behavior of the remaining soldiers.
But at this time, the order was completely out of control, and no one could even stop the defeated troops, let alone the remnants of the soldiers who were rushing to the battlefield to "die".
Not all of the defeated troops were cowards.
Many people are fanatical believers in steam and the Mechanicum.
Their whole families were slaughtered by the Iron Fist Army, and they have an irresolvable blood feud with the Fist Temple.
He was only carried away from the battlefield by the chaotic torrent and could not help himself.
After running for dozens of miles in one breath, the defeated troops finally calmed down and regained some organization and discipline.
At this moment, one look and one question revealed that even a remnant of soldiers from the north were heading upstream without hesitation, preparing to fight the main force of the Iron Fist Army for a life-or-death showdown.
Looking at their own performance, these fanatical believers were simply ashamed to death.
In addition, the name of Gus "Holy Son" has been publicized for a long time, and many fanatical believers have heard about it.
Even if you are usually dubious and don't take this "Holy Son" seriously, at this moment, it is an undeniable fact that the "Holy Son" is leading his troops against the current.
Under the illumination of torches and perhaps the devil's bewitchment, Gus's slightly childish appearance turned out to be extremely sacred and majestic.
Therefore, after walking dozens of miles, the followers following Gus and Gray turned out to be not only the remnants of the northern soldiers led by Andre, but also included dozens of fanatic believers from the defeated troops.
The number suddenly swelled. ten times!
