The distance from the mining area to the main city is actually not far. If a normal person walks, it can be reached in about ten hours. If a professional person goes there, the time can be shortened to about five or six hours. However, if a group of professionals with about 60,000 people come to walk, the time will take more than a day and a night.

Moreover, this includes various problems that need to be solved. First of all, the safety guarantee of the logistics troops of the more than 60,000 people, because all the logistics of the entire army is included, including food, clothing, fuel, etc., without these things, in this harsh and cold winter, more than 60,000 people will be completely destroyed in just two or three days, but this is the key point that must be guaranteed.

Although there is no threat from the indigenous people now, in the wilderness in winter, it is a paradise where monsters are rampant. It is no longer a place where low-level monsters exist. Instead, some powerful monsters will be migrated from the cold zone, such as snow monsters, snow monsters, etc., and occasionally there will be snow wolf packs with a challenge level 21, as well as ice monsters with a challenge level 35, etc. Even if only one such monster appears, if Hao Qi does not arrive in time, those who are coming nearby will suffer heavy casualties.

Because of these factors, the journey from the mining area to the main city was not smooth, and even with numerous plans and protections, more than 40 people were still killed or injured along the way, but finally they arrived outside the walls of Taurus City.

Camp, burn fire, clear the ground, snow, debris, and start cooking...

"...The temperature is lower than expected, the wind is stronger, and there are more monsters. The message from the reconnaissance team is that the surrounding monsters seemed to smell our existence and began to gather at our location. The scale is at least tens of thousands, and there are at least three or four ice demon-level monsters that have been discovered..."

"...The frostbite is very serious. Even if the fire remains unscathed overnight, there will be many people frostbite. The situation is not serious now, but if it continues, at most two days, the number of frostbite will be as many as thousands. And judging from this weather, the temperature will probably continue to drop, and it must be solved immediately!"

“… Accommodation problems… Clothing temperatures… Temperature problems…”

The commander and several other senior officials listened to all the reports in silence. Their expressions were very serious, because the situation was much worse than they expected at the beginning. It took only a day and a night to leave the mining area, but the situation was so bad that it was almost impossible to continue. It could even be thought that as long as the situation did not improve, then the next 60,000 people died in the snowland wilderness.

Although I survived a winter in the mining area, more than one-fifths of the more than 60,000 people were probably killed, but at least four-fifths of the number could survive. After all, the mining area has walls that can defend against wild monsters, and basic buildings such as camps can cover up wind and snow. Moreover, the temperature inside the mine is much higher than that outside. It’s just that air circulation is a big problem, but it is not impossible to overcome. This action was actually carried out by Hao Qi’s strength.

The power of one person forming an army almost determines the goal of the entire strategic level. If it is described as the earth in Hao Qi's previous life, it is equivalent to one country having nuclear weapons while the other country has no nuclear weapons. At the same time, the two countries are in a state of war. The most important thing is that each other's era was in the Middle Ages, and there is no need to worry about so-called international public opinion at all, and there is no need to worry about other countries condemning or creating nuclear weapons. In the absence of nuclear deterrence at all, this nuclear country occupies absolute initiative, and Hao Qi is currently equivalent to such a role...

"In other words, the siege must start tomorrow, and the main city must be broken tomorrow, at least the city wall must be broken. We must enter the interior of the main city wall..." One of the high-level people said this, and at the same time he looked at Hao Qi.

"Mr. Hao Qi, although it is a bit rude to say this... I still want to ask again. Are you sure you can really break the city wall? You must know the thickness, height, and the giant crossbows on the city wall, the professions who defend the city, and various captive and tamed monsters... Although Mr. Hao Qi's strength in forming an army by himself, please forgive us for saying something even more rude. We can't help with this siege battle, so..."

Not only the person who spoke, but the others also looked at Hao Qi, and their expressions were all gratitude, embarrassment, and discomfort. These people were all genuine soldiers, who could be favored by the head of state and appointed important positions in the army, and were all iron-blooded soldiers. It can be said that if they had not been in a dead end, they really did not want to rely on Hao Qi alone to occupy Taurus City. This was actually a shame for them and their army.

Hao Qi acted more naturally and frankly. He said directly: "You don't have to worry about this, unless their fifth-level profession has returned, you really have to fight to know that if you don't return, then I'm really not afraid of them... But then again, what step do you plan to do?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this. They had not yet understood what Hao Qi said for a moment. However, after a few seconds, these people seemed to have thought about something and began to think thoughtfully. After a while, the commander asked first: "So, Mr. Hao Qi, where can you do?"

"Break open the city walls, enter the city, get supplies, get medicine, get accommodation, or... occupy Taurus City, slaughter the indigenous people, and exterminate the indigenous people..." Hao Qi said one by one, and at the beginning, the people were filled with joy, but when they heard the back, their expressions gradually became serious.

"Did Mr. Hao Qi make us choose? Which step should we do in the end?" One of them suddenly asked: "What if we are determined to take great revenge? You must know that the people we died at that time were not ten thousand or twenty thousand, nor one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand... Now these 60,000 people are not even a fraction of the original ones. Those who were killed, enslaved, sick, and abused... Are Mr. Hao Qi testing us?"

"No, of course it's not a test." Hao Qi shook his head and denied: "I really want to ask your plans, because to put it bluntly, I have no obligation to help you. The reason why I fight for you now is only my willingness. Similarly, I will never deny or accommodate your own choices, because I thought that if I was in your position, it would be possible to eliminate the evil or take revenge. I will launch an attack on Taurus tomorrow morning, and then I will decide how we will deal with the issues of the indigenous people next, and it also depends on your attitude..."

"Do you hope to forgive the innocent people who did not attack you? Or do you kill all the indigenous people? "

Hao Qi's eyes were quiet. He looked at the several people in front of him and determined that most of the 60,000 survivors had happened. He asked repeatedly.

"What do you hope? And I will adjust my next actions according to your hope."

"Please choose, kill all, or just revenge." (To be continued.)
