The news spread, and the world was in an uproar.
In this world, war was a common occurrence. It was not uncommon for an entire family to be killed when a battle was lost. This was not a rare sight. But this was an act of carrying out a massive massacre of civilians, even to the extent of complete destroying villages and towns without considering the outcome. It was just to destroy the opponent's logistics and weaken the opponent's will to fight. This behavior had seriously broken the long-standing "practice."
In general, such things largely happen outside the Main Plane. Only among races who based their strongholds in small worlds where they fought and killed each other would there be such cruelty. And within the Main Plane, even the elemental creatures that were almost unfeeling, as well as the evil and ferocious devils, would not do such things—because they were simply meaningless.
