I weave my destiny in parallel time and space

As if they no longer care about hiding, the townspeople lit torches and gradually formed a line in the town.

From Alicia's bird's-eye view, torches formed several long queues on several major main roads in the town, spreading through the town and heading straight towards the mayor's mansion.

Looking at the past from this perspective, there is an unspeakable feeling of shock.

Alicia has never seen anything like this before. Everyone is united and united.

"The power of the people is always the most powerful." Xia Ya's voice came from beside her, "Being an enemy of the people's will is fundamentally doomed to failure."

Alicia nodded in approval, "The reason why Napoleon was able to lead France to victory in the siege of Europe was because he represented the will of the people."

During their conversation, the battle between the Sashili people and the West French army began. The Sashili people had not received professional military training and could only charge forward with a recklessness that was not afraid of death.

But West France's army is different, and the gap can be seen just from this impact.

They were arranged in horizontal lines or columns, with more concentrated firepower. They would even fire alternately. After firing one round, they would retreat and reload their ammunition, allowing another group of people to fire. This made up for the slow reloading of the flintlock muskets.

So the casualty ratio was very high at the beginning.

But just as Hart said, Sashili only counted young adults, and their number was ten times that of these Western French soldiers.

This does not include the elderly, women, and some fifteen or sixteen-year-old children inside. This is more than ten times, twenty times more likely.

"What an amazing bloodiness." Looking at the crowd of people, Xia Ya sighed with emotion.

Alicia also nodded in approval. She looked at the sacrifices and looked away unbearably.

After a moment, she said.

"Char, does the world after death really exist?"

Xia Ya raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

"I know that the God of Death exists, but I still have no real sense of the world after death." Alicia said, "Or, can you tell me what the world after death is like?"

Xia Ya smiled and said, "Arthur also asked me this question."

Alicia raised her eyes and looked at him.

"When you had a fever, he was so worried that he couldn't sleep, so he came down to ask me." Xia Ya continued.

"Then how did you answer?" Alicia said.

Xia Ya shook his head, "I didn't answer whether he existed, but asked him a few questions.

I asked him to imagine a world where the afterlife did not exist.

People's death is the end. For the living, after the death of their loved ones, people lose the chance to see them again.

For the dead people, once they die, all that remains in the world are the remaining memories of their relatives and friends, but when they die, the world will completely erase their existence.

Human life is coming to an end, life is meaningless, and death is meaningless. "

Alicia's face gradually became serious.

“Then I asked him to imagine a world where there was an afterlife.

For those who are alive, they know that their relatives and friends will live a better life in another world, and they will eventually have the opportunity to meet again.

For people after death, death is not the end. Everything they did during their lifetime is meaningful. The sinners will be punished, while the good people can live a carefree and happy life.

Which world do you think you would rather be in? "

"Of course it's the latter," Alicia said.

"Yes."

Char looked at the distant town and all the death, his eyes murmuring deeply.

“Many places in the world have legends about the afterlife, such as the Vikings, from whom Norse mythology originated.

They believe that after they die in battle, they will enjoy fine wine and delicious food in the Hall of Valor of the Great God Odin.

Therefore, they were not afraid of death, took pride in dying in battle, and were feared by many people at that time.

The Celts actually had similar legends about the afterlife, which was also the source of their bravery.

The world after death is a beautiful yearning derived from people's ultimate fear of death.

It is a romance unique to mankind.

It is also proof that human beings have once again challenged the invincible.

Therefore, a long time ago, when I didn’t know about the God of Death or whether Hades existed, I always firmly believed in the existence of the afterlife.

The current Hades was also established in response to human wishes. "

Alicia nodded. Listening to Xia's story, she inevitably began to fantasize about the world after death. There was a little hope in her eyes, "My father is a good man. He has done a lot to save the people. In that world, he should be able to live a better life.

No need to worry about those intrigues, no need to worry anymore. "

"Perhaps, I will meet your mother again." Xia Ya whispered.

Alicia's eyes were a little deep, and she murmured in confusion, "That's so beautiful."

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

There was an astonishing loud noise from the fjord. In Alicia's sight, many cannonballs made a graceful arc in the air and hit the houses in the town, destroying their houses but not exploding.

This may be for the sake of range, so it is not filled with gunpowder. After all, the town of Sassili has a long depth, and they can only shoot at the fjord.

Or perhaps because the explosive shells filled with gunpowder are not yet popular, the Spanish Empire's warship technology should be more advanced.

The main function of these artillery is to attack city walls and deal with ships. For example, ships at sea will basically be scrapped as long as they punch a big hole.

But it is not enough to deal with such flexible people. Without the use of explosive ammunition, the lethality will be limited.

At this time, Alicia saw that artillery fire was also fired from both sides of the mountain, but not at the town, but at the ships docked in the fjord.

Relying on the terrain of Sassili, placing artillery on both sides of the mountains and in the town is enough to form a dense artillery network that will cover all ships entering the fjord.

The entrance to the fjord is limited in size, and the number of ships entering can only be limited to a certain number, so as long as the artillery fire is sufficient, Sassili will be invincible.

Obviously, after entering Tassili, the West French army did not dismantle the artillery on both sides in order to defend against the Brittanian attack.

Now, the artillery was recaptured by the Sahilians, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Perhaps because the aim was not good the first time, the shells were fired into the fjord, but then there was an extremely dense artillery bombardment.

Some ships were hit and a big hole was made. Seeing this, the other ships knew that they would be targets if they stayed here, so they turned their bows and retreated out of the fjord.

On the other side, Alicia saw the angry crowd stepping on the corpses of their companions and entering the mayor's mansion.
