Eight Desolate Valkyries

Chapter 538 The meaning of the strong

When Luo Cheng rushed to Yanzhou, he was shocked by what he saw.

There is only one city in Yanzhou, which is the capital that occupies all the resources of the entire land, surrounded by towering walls, and there are nearly a hundred gates alone.

Outside the capital, there are barren plains and forests occupied by monsters.

Outside the city wall, there was originally a flat grassland with stone roads for horse-drawn carriages, but now this place is occupied by countless refugees fleeing from the city, and there are endless standard tents. , Everyone was listless and sighed in low voices.

Luo Cheng walked all the way, because he was wearing a clean robe, his face was ruddy, and he was leading a horse, so he didn't look like he was affected by the chaos at all.

"Big brother, give me something to eat."

A little girl with disheveled hair and a dirty face plucked up the courage to walk up to him, her immature voice was a little hoarse, and her big eyes looked at him longingly.

"Take it."

Luo Cheng sighed, took out the dry food prepared for himself from the Qiankun bag, and handed it to the other party.

The little girl didn't expect that he would really give it, so she took it and stuffed it into her mouth hungrily.

This scene caused Luo Cheng a lot of trouble. The refugees around looked at the little girl who was eating, and first swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then other children came to beg in front of him, and finally even the adults came over and surrounded him , grabbed him with one hand.

The wild horse that Luo Cheng found in the wild hadn't been fully tamed yet, so he raised his hooves and kicked wildly, making the scene even more chaotic.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

Just when Luo Cheng could not make up his mind, a group of armored guards came from a distance, pushed these refugees away roughly, and protected Luo Cheng among them.

"Where did you come from?" Seeing him like this, the captain of the guard looked suspiciously at him.

Luo Cheng calmly took out a token made of gold and showed it in front of the other party.

"Shenlongwei?!"

The captain of the guard was taken aback, and then his attitude immediately became respectful, and he walked in front, "Your Excellency is going to enter the city, right? Follow me."

Luo Cheng nodded. He really didn't know how to get to the city gate without the other party leading the way.

"My lord, what you did just now is undoubtedly putting a drop of honey in the ant's nest." The captain of the guard turned back.

Looking at these sallow and emaciated refugees, Luo Cheng couldn't help but ask, "Why aren't they allowed to enter the city?"

"There are too many people. If they all enter the city, it will cause riots, and there is no guarantee that there are no spies among these people." Seeing his expression, the captain of the guard quickly explained: "We didn't treat them badly. Not only did we build tents, but also regularly Food is being distributed, and large quantities of clothing are also being prepared in the city.”

"Then why are these people still like this?" Luo Cheng wondered.

"Let the weak eat the strong. Refugees do not represent kindness. There are also villains among them. They form a force to rob and occupy the food distributed by others, and then they distribute it. Those who obey them will get more." The captain of the guard is a middle-aged man. Man, when he said this, he was full of exclamations, which made people feel old-fashioned.

"Don't care?" Luo Cheng's expression softened, he thought that the capital of the country was left to these people to fend for themselves.

"The villains who can destroy a few shares of this kind of force every day, but they will rise again every day. After all, whoever has the most say in this world, the strong eat meat, and the weak drink soup. It's normal." The captain of the guard shrugged and expressed himself Also helpless.

"No, the real meaning of the strong is to protect the weak." Luo Cheng didn't quite agree with what the other party said.

It's a pity that the current Luo Cheng is powerless to change anything. There are as many as one million refugees on this grassland, and each person eats a mouthful. It doesn't take a few days to feed him poorly.Moreover, he also noticed that the number of warriors among the refugees is very small, and there are very few people in the Qi Refining Realm, and few in the Yuanyuan Realm.

You don't need to inquire to know that under such a situation, warriors are more popular, and they will definitely not become refugees.

At this time, Luo Cheng had already walked to the city gate, and suddenly there was a sound of breaking through the air. He was startled at first, then smiled strangely, and casually stretched out his hand to catch a stone that hit him in the face.

Judging from the strength of feeling, the person throwing stones has no real energy at all, even weaker than ordinary people.

"Who? Who did it?!"

When the captain of the guard noticed this scene, he was furious. After all, Luo Cheng's identity is Shenlongwei!Under his roar, the other guards picked out the person who threw the stone in the crowd. It turned out to be a boy of twelve or thirteen years old. He looked like a restless master. He was really struggling when he was lifted up in the air by two guards, and he was yelling at him. with.

"You people occupy the best resources, pass them on from generation to generation, and don't allow others to interfere. We ordinary people can only accept our fate obediently, making the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Now we have to bear the influence of your warriors!"

From the perspective of ordinary people, the boy's words are not incomprehensible.

"Bold."

The captain of the guard was furious when he heard the words, and drew out his spiritual knife. The sharp murderous aura quieted the scene, and the boy's expression froze, and then he stared at him unwillingly.

"stop."

Luo Cheng didn't want to argue with a child at all. He believed that the captain of the guard would not kill a child, but he was afraid that he would get angry and put on airs.

"What's your name?" Luo Cheng walked up and motioned the guards to put him down.

"Chen Ran."

After the boy landed, he shook his arms restlessly, and then said his name.

"What you said just now makes sense, and it's actually right." Luo Cheng said.

Chen Ran was startled, and looked at him inexplicably.

"However, what can you change? Giving up on yourself will not make all warriors in this world become ordinary people, but you will always be ordinary, so if you are not satisfied with your current situation, go and change it."

"If I have the resources and the opportunity, do I need you to tell me?" Chen Ran is a kid, and he understands what Luo Cheng said, but he just complains about the injustice of fate. His family background is ordinary, so where can he get the martial arts, exercises, and elixir for him? practice?

"This sounds like the words of the weak. Fate is never fair. Everything is done by your own hands. You hate me as the young master of a family. Then there are people with a hundred times better fate on my head. What should I think?"

Luo Cheng's words had come to this point, he felt that there was no need to say more, and walked towards the city gate with a group of guards again.

Chen Ran stood there alone, his childish face was full of complex expressions, and then he looked at Luo Cheng's back in disbelief, "Hmph, I, Chen Ran, will definitely catch up with you."

Several years later, on the day when Chen Ran, an adult, was qualified to be promoted to Martial God, someone asked him how he strengthened his martial arts path, and he said that it started from this day.

Luo Cheng would not have thought that a random move would bring a warrior god to this continent. At this time, he had already entered the capital, and he was relieved that the city was affected by the war, all entertainment measures were closed, and various forces collected food Distributed to refugees, and some forces even select orphans among the refugees as children of the family.

No matter what the purpose of these actions is, even if it is a show, the effect is much stronger than those who talk about it.

Of course, there were also news that annoyed Luo Cheng. For example, after the war broke out, a Jiang family who had emerged from the Soul Realm actually announced a retreat, protesting with silence that the Emperor Kamikaze favored him back then.
