Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

Northern port.

The Kingdom of Delin occupied the northern port at the beginning and took many ordinary people who came from Bailu City and wanted to leave by ship hostage. They seized their food to replenish the army. According to General Zhang Feng's idea, the Delin Kingdom's garrison relied on the port and ships to travel between the sea and land to fight guerrilla warfare. This would preserve their own strength and allow them to launch surprise attacks by landing in multiple places. However, the food reserves were consumed very quickly after many days of garrisoning. It was clear that even the food they had seized was about to run out. In addition, the people placed in the Insulator Martial Division stirred up trouble, and the lower-ranking soldiers were thus incited.

Within the army, voices calling for the execution of hostages to reduce food consumption and for an attack on Bailu City were growing louder, and rebellion was slowly emerging. General Zhang Feng, seeing that the situation was getting worse, had no choice but to convene an unconventional military meeting with the generals to discuss how to solve the current problems.

"As you all know, I'll keep it brief. There are two urgent issues to address. First, there's the food problem; many within the military are suggesting killing civilians. Second, there's the morale problem; many soldiers believe we should take the initiative. Let's hear your thoughts on these two issues."

After saluting, a general said, “General, I think these two problems are related. Solving the food problem will naturally solve the morale problem. The reason why the soldiers want to take the initiative to attack is simply because there is not enough food and they are afraid of starving to death at sea. In that case, why not just kill the civilians on the ship and send small groups of troops to land on the island to plunder the scattered households outside the city, or hunt ferocious beasts, and collect as much food as possible or collect food regularly? This should solve the problem for the time being.”

Another general had a different opinion: "General, in my opinion, it would be better to attack Bailu City directly. Our scouts have been reporting that the garrison of Bailu City does not seem to be troubled by the food problem. On the contrary, they often drink and eat meat at night, which shows that Bailu City has extremely rich food reserves. Since Slivia and the Holy Beast Kingdom have retreated into the island's forest, now is the time for us to fight a decisive battle with the Heavenly Fortune Empire. If we occupy Bailu City, all difficulties can be easily solved."

This general's opinion was supported by most of the generals. However, this general had already been brainwashed by the Insulators. As long as the war in Bailu City did not start, the Insulators could not move.

After listening to everyone's suggestions, Zhang Feng pondered for a moment before speaking, "I understand your suggestions. I want to state two points: first, the civilians on the ship must not be killed; second, we will send troops to Bailu City. As for how to attack, please listen to my arrangements..."

The next day, a large crowd appeared at the northern port. These people were civilians who had been released from ships of the Kingdom of Delin and had once lived in Bailu City. Behind this group of people, a small squad of soldiers with long spears kept driving them, forcing them to walk towards Bailu City.

The spies of the Tianyun Empire quickly discovered the situation and hurriedly reported it to Wang Ji, the commander of the garrison. Wang Ji led his men to the city wall to look out and indeed saw a large group of people heading towards Bailu City. He was a little confused as to why the Delin Kingdom was bringing these people to Bailu City, but he still ordered his soldiers to prepare to meet the enemy.

Soon, the news reached the Slivia-Holy Beast Kingdom alliance. The generals leading troops at the front line unanimously decided to take advantage of the chaos and wait for the two sides to clash before joining the battle in Bailu City, so they could reap the benefits.

The crowd of civilians quickly arrived near the city gate under the soldiers' command. Several of them begged the guards to open the gate and let them in, but Wang Ji on the city wall strictly ordered the soldiers not to open the gate and pointed all their weapons at these unarmed civilians. Seeing the soldiers treating them this way, the crowd immediately stirred, and some timid people even cried out in fear.

"Form ranks! Advance!" Wang Ji continued to command from the city wall.

Seeing the soldiers advancing in formation, several people in the crowd shouted, "Is this how the Heavenly Fortune Empire treats us unarmed civilians?! They still dare to call themselves a great nation! No wonder they co-founded a country with the Demon Race. Aren't you a disgrace to the human race?!"

The Tianyun Empire's garrison was entirely composed of humans. It was precisely because the empire was a nation jointly ruled by humans and demons that no demon soldiers were sent to the island. Hearing the shouts of the crowd, the soldiers outside the city gates involuntarily slowed their pace. Seeing the soldiers slow down, several people in the crowd quickly pushed their way through, shouting:

“We were driven off the ship by the Kingdom of Delin, and they confiscated all our food. The port was also occupied. We had no choice but to return to Bailu City. Why won’t they give us a way out and let us go back to the city? We are all our own people!”

Then, a woman holding a child knelt down on the ground, crying out, "Save my child! He hasn't eaten for days!"

"Please save my elderly mother, she's dying!"

All these things made the soldiers even more reluctant to do it. Many of these people were people they had greeted, helped, or even drunk with before. How could they possibly be so heartless as to deal with them now?

"Clang." A soldier's weapon fell to the ground. Seeing this, the surrounding soldiers slowly lowered their weapons as well. Several women and elderly people walked past the soldiers toward the city gate. Gradually, the crowd began to surge toward the city gate. Wang Ji, standing on the city wall, shouted repeatedly, "Raise your weapons and stop them! Raise your weapons!"

However, the soldiers were no longer listening to any orders, so Wang Ji had no choice but to run to the other side of the city wall and order the soldiers inside the city gate: "Do not open the gate!"

The crowd outside the city gate cried and shoved. Hearing the pitiful cries outside, even the guards couldn't help but shed tears, as it reminded them of their own families. But out of duty, no one opened the gate. At that moment, an insulator disguised as a soldier of the Heavenly Fortune Empire rushed to the gate, shouting as he opened it, "Are your hearts made of iron?!" The guards were about to stop him when the iron bolts on the city gate were removed, and countless people poured inside.

Seeing this scene, Wang Ji felt dizzy, but as a seasoned general, he immediately issued an order: "All troops on alert! Kill anyone carrying a weapon on the spot!" Wang Ji instinctively sensed that the Delin Kingdom's garrison would blend into the crowd and enter the inner city, so he was extra vigilant.

Seeing the people beginning to enter the city, Zhang Feng, who was lying in ambush not far away, was overjoyed and said, "Bailu City can be taken today! All troops, attack! Order the garrison at Beigang to come here as well!" He then drew his sword and, together with his troops, shouted and charged out, creating a terrifying scene. Wang Ji, seeing that the army of the Kingdom of Delin had already arrived outside the city, immediately ordered, "Close the city gates! Anyone who tries to break through will be killed without mercy!"

When the Tianyun Empire's soldiers saw the enemy approaching, they finally hardened their hearts, but it was too late. The soldiers of the Delin Kingdom, mixed in with the crowd, had already drawn their weapons and started fighting on the spot. In an instant, the city gate was in chaos, and countless civilians died under the merciless swords. The soldiers of the Delin Kingdom also rushed to the city gate and fought with the defenders.
