Chapter 176

【"Run away!! It's impossible to win!!"】

【"The other side is too terrifying!!"】

【"The Galaxy Empire... is too terrifying..."】

【"Help! Help!! I don't want to die here!!"】

【"Mom... mom... my mom is still waiting for me at home, I want to go back to find mom... don't kill me..."】

【Just one round of roaring bombardment completely defeated the army of two hundred thousand.】

【Countless people died in this round of roaring.】

【Under the smoke filling the sky and the fire on the ground, the few remaining survivors had already suffered a mental breakdown.】

【In a ruin, a human hand pushed away the huge rock pressing on its body.】

【Immediately after, it sat up from the ruins.】

【He rubbed his eyes, wiped away the black residue from above, then opened his eyes and looked around.】

【Fear! Panic! Crying! Calls for help... and death!】

【These scenes were clearly displayed in his eyes.】

【It was like a highly impactful blade stabbing into his heart, making cold sweat ooze out uncontrollably, then flowing down his dark face.】

【As the general of the First Empire, the strongest on the Ishgar continent, and the main person in charge assigned to this battlefield.】

【He hadn't seen death before.】

【In fact, on the road to helping the empire become the first in Ishgar, he had personally experienced countless life-and-death crises.】

【But, he swore!】

【Never before had there been such despair!】

【That was truly... despair where no future could be seen!】

【He never dreamed that the Galaxy Empire, which usually didn't show its strength...】

【Would actually hide such terrifying power.】

【At first, he was surprised to find that there were ten giant dragons in the Galaxy Empire.】

【But that level was still manageable.】

【Only by mobilizing all the Archive Mages to form a unit could they barely limit the actions of the ten dragons.】

【But... what was displayed in front of him now?】

【Dozens, hundreds of giant dragons!!】

【This was completely beyond the level that human power could resist. Even if all these two hundred thousand Black Mage troops were Archive Mages, there was no way to limit dozens or hundreds of dragons!】

【Their combined roar was enough to destroy the world!】

【"Can't beat them... this is simply impossible to beat... is this the Galaxy Empire?"】

【"With this strength, why hide it??"】

【"Why not stand out and directly unify the Ishgar continent??"】

【"If that were the case... would this war not have happened?"】

【"If that were the case, would I not have died?"】

【"Die..."】

【The person in charge of the First Empire had a dull expression, and his pupils were trembling.】

【This word kept echoing in his mind.】

【Just now, the aftermath of the explosion affected the command post where they were.】

【He clearly saw the person in charge of the Second Empire blown into pieces!】

【Blood sprayed onto his face.】

【If it weren't for the life-and-death moment when he pulled the person in charge of the Third Empire in front of him to block a wave of impact...】

【He would be the one dead now!】

【This was truly the first time he had been so close to death!】

【Boom boom boom————!!!】

【Not far away, explosions were still occurring!】

【The dragons flying in the sky didn't show any mercy because of the soldiers who had already collapsed and fled on the ground.】

【They remembered the order from the Queen.】

【Get serious!】

【Let the people of the whole world know that the Galaxy Empire is not to be trifled with!】

【Therefore, they must completely crush these people in this battle.】

【At most... they could only let less than ten people escape to spread the word about this event.】

【Make the whole world tremble for the Galaxy Empire!】

【Except for ten people, all...】

【Must die!】

【The Galaxy Empire was never a kind kingdom, and Irene's kindness... was never kindness for strangers and enemies.】

【The giant dragons flew in the sky.】

【Precise magic impacts descended from the sky, blowing everyone who wanted to escape into pieces.】

【The smell of blood permeated this battlefield.】

【Even the earthy ground had been dyed blood-red.】

【Severed limbs and arms were scattered everywhere on this battlefield like garbage.】

【This scene hit the nerves of the person in charge of the First Empire hard.】

【He was almost about to collapse!】

【He was really about to collapse. Having spent his life in battle and fought for many years, this was the first time... he had seen such a bloody scene.】

【"Ah... ah... ahhhhhhh..."】

【Countless explosions and sky-high firelight were reflected in his eyes.】

【He held his head and screamed in collapse.】

【Then, trembling... he buried his face in the blood-stained soil.】

【Using the blood-red soil to bury his head.】

【As if only in this way could he isolate all of this.】

【Outside the sky screen.】

【The world channel had also fallen into silence.】

【Too cruel...】

【In this era, which was so peaceful that guilds were not even allowed to fight each other,】

【Few people truly understood war.】

【Or rather, even if they understood it, they couldn't imagine that war could be such a cruel scene.】

【In most people's impression.】

【What is war?】

【Isn't it just a competition of schemes, a competition of combat power, a competition of magic?】

【These are all things that can make people's blood boil!】

【But...】

【Until this moment.】

【At this moment, watching the scene in the sky screen.】

【They seemed to know for the first time.】

【War... is simply not that simple!】

【What war contains is blood!】

【Behind war are withered bones! Corpses! It is... hysterical shouting! It is the wailing of the abyss of despair! It is also the tears after a mental breakdown.】

【War is cruel.】

【This sentence was truly displayed in front of everyone until this moment.】

【Inside the Fairy Tail guild.】

【Wendy couldn't bear to watch anymore and lowered her head, trembling as she held Charle tightly in her arms.】

【Lucy's body was also trembling slightly.】

【She had lived for twenty years.】

【She had never seen real human remains.】

【And she had rarely seen blood.】

【And that scene in the sky screen made Lucy's stomach churn crazily, and she almost couldn't help but want to vomit.】

【Natsu gritted his teeth: "Hey... isn't this a bit too cruel... since they won... they should stop here..."】

【"Presumably... presumably those people can't possibly attack the Galaxy Empire anymore, right?"】

【Mirajane: "This... is indeed a bit too cruel."】

【"This is already a massacre, the Galaxy Empire... is massacring!"】

【Gajeel crossed his arms, although his heart was still hit hard, he didn't speak.】

【Laxus, on the other hand, shook his head contrary to his usual self.】

【His eyes stared fixedly at the sky screen.】

【"Although I don't agree with this approach, I can understand it."】
