Xiling Empire

(Going to Guangzhou tomorrow, I'm not sure if I can continue to update in the next few days ... Well, if the festival breaks the table, it may still be updated. Depending on the festival, you can vote for a monthly subscription to order? )

It is only tens of kilometers away from Songlin Village. We are only half a day away from the quiet and peaceful village in the middle of the forest. However, such a short distance in time and space is enough for people to see the peace and war. Thinner than paper. />

The North Fortress has become a veritable place for heavy soldiers. With this fortress as the center, hundreds of miles along the Long Bridge Mountains, there are large and small barracks and garrisons. They have regular troops from the inland empire and The second-tier corps organized by lords and churches everywhere, and the rest are scattered free mercenaries and people with lofty ideals. This can be said to be a grand occasion, and it can also be called madness: the fearless attitude of the people on the ground against the invasion of the dark moon and the spirit of national resistance are convincing. Although the dark moon war itself is inexplicable in our opinion, it still stands still. On both sides of the Long Bridge Mountains, these people who are ready to work hard are still worthy of the name of soldiers.

Compared with the atmosphere where even the air is slaughtered, the atmosphere of Songlin Village seems too peaceful and cringe, but there is nothing to criticize: after all, not every race can be like Greek. All people are soldiers like Ling, and ordinary people also have ordinary people's living methods. The villagers of Songlin Village first think that their three meals a day are understandable. And they will soon appear on the second line of defense as militias. From this point of view, this is already considered to be sturdy.

We are going to spend the night outside the North Fortress tonight, but it is said that it is outside the fortress, and there is absolutely no sense of wilderness here: Free mercenaries from all over the place have set up a hundred-mile chain camp in the wilderness, even if you are in Horses ran wild under the Long Bridge Mountain. In a short period of time, we can't find a place that is truly "inhuman".

When we were preparing to camp, we also encountered a small episode: At the beginning, I wanted to find out if there was a nominal planner at the station of the free mercenary. As a result, I knew it, let alone a special planner. Even the officers in the fortress did not know how the mercenary station was "planned". These loose small teams are randomly distributed in the "irregular area" divided by the Cavaliers. The group or the solo are all based on their preferences, and it feels like a group of just off the train, waiting for new jobs at intersections everywhere. In such a group of migrant workers, no one needs to consider the issue of "campaigns".

It's just that the work of these "migrant workers" is extremely high-end: they are here to save the world. At least they think so.

So we directly found a quiet place in the mercenary zone as a "site", and then it didn't take much effort to prepare the camp. The deity, Bingtis, used the power of the creation to get three large accounts, watching It is not much different from the camps of the people around it, but there are a lot of barriers and enchantments inside: we are there to discuss the end of the world and not have to worry about being known.

Three or two prepared the camp. Bingtis and Huesca started to toss up the dinner (yes, they were both). I saw that I had nothing to do with myself, and I wandered freely in this large camp. Because Lin Xue wanted to be clean, we chose the camp far away from other people. We had to convert it according to the size of the mercenary station. We stayed there at least outside the tenth ring ... I have to walk for half a day to talk to the nearest "Neighbors" say hello.

Happily. All the things I met along the way were quite friendly, probably because they were on the same desperate front. Even the usual highly competitive mercenaries became a harmonious family here. Although most people here don't know each other, although everyone else in sight here may be from all over the country. I still feel as if I have come to the lively countryside, surrounded by neighbors who have known each other for many years. This atmosphere may be very noisy, but for the first time ... it is actually very interesting. The mercenaries are almost all big mouths. You walked here for thirty minutes to go back and write a lifetime of fantasy at the starting point ...

While wandering in these usually busy camps in the courtyard house, of course I did not forget to inquire about some information. As a newcomer to the "new-hand mercenary", I quickly figured out how these unorganized and undisciplined guys intend to participate in the battle against the dark moon, as expected: the mercenaries are not positive Prepared for battle.

They will still do their jobs here: sell their fighting power for the price.

The Knights of the North Fortress has prepared a contact window for the mercenaries. They will publish tasks on the side of the fortress. These tasks may be tricky and dangerous, but without exception, they are well-paid and can earn a great reputation. The Cavaliers and other regular soldiers are valuable, and they do not have so many "special combatants" running fragmentary reconnaissance and exploration missions, so these tasks are outsourced to mercenaries. Every day, there are people who are responsible for reporting the task list running between the fortress and the mercenary station-these people are usually mercenaries, and they are actually daily tasks to travel around like this-each large or small mercenary team is getting After this information, they will weigh their patience and luck, and decide whether to go out for themselves or watch others go out desperately today.

This is the case for all mercenaries, and the process of their stay here is the same: after receiving the news of the Empire's conscription, they came by themselves, found the fortress registrar to report the name of the individual or team, and then got a small card for identification. Er, he set up camp in this way and became a member of the protection of this world: a really chaotic but free and easy group of people.

The Knights, Second-line Legion, Mercenary Regiment, temporary dispatch center, and semi-free mission transfers and various dual-line military operations. These elements together form a special small society. At the foot of the Longbridge Mountains, it is not only It's a line of defense, but it's also a weird, wallless city: you can even find bazaars and merchants between camps!

It looks chaotic here, but after a turn, I also feel that there is a basic order in this chaos. No matter who is managing the North Fortress, it must be a personal talent: the market and the military camp can be managed at the same time. Guy, I can already be surprised in my eyes.

I didn't go too far, just wandering around this mercenary camp and an independent legion camp next to it: the latter claimed to be an overlord regiment in the Empire. Because there is already a regular military station there. I didn't go in either: there was nothing to see anyway.

"Well, come back home?"

As soon as I returned to the camp of my family, I heard Bingtis's grinning voice coming from the front. Looking at the sound, the female hooligan was sitting in front of the campfire and waving hard, Lin Xueyong next to her His elbow slammed into Bingtis. "It's our family-don't make a mess with your big fireball."

I happily walked over and sat down between Lin Xue and Qian Qian. The latter came up with excitement and took a sip on my face. He turned his head and continued to use the stick to stir the firewood in the bonfire. This girl is always interested in things like wild camping and campfire dinners, and I also understand it: I am used to living in a high-tech shadow city. It's actually quite interesting to go out and experience this kind of primitive life occasionally.

"What about dinner?" I looked at Bingtis, and then at Huesca, who was sitting on the other side. But the two of them just announced that they were going to prepare dinner. There are a lot of doubts, but they should always be better than Sandora in cooking. So I'm just making a fool of these two. It's not too late now, and I'm curious what they've done.

"Relax, it's rich," Bingtis pulled out a tray floating in the air from behind him. There were a lot of sea bowls on it. It was steaming and had a strong smell. "Scallion ribs. Dried seafood, old soup and tender beef, Seaweed shrimps, and chicken stew with mushrooms. It just took a little longer to soak ... "

After a while, I sucked the noodles of Master Kong's chicken and mushrooms that had already turned into a pile, and told Huesca seriously: "In the future, don't try to mix things that you are not familiar with, do you? Especially Bingtis said It ’s even harder to blend in your idea-let ’s eat ready-made dry food from home tomorrow. ”

Huesca and Pandora took a bowl of noodles larger than their heads and ate the same bowl of noodles, the former nodded eagerly. Almost smashed Pandora's head into the bowl ...

"It's okay to do this occasionally," Ms. Lin looked very happy. She clipped a small cross-section strip to feed Ding Dong who was chopping her bowl, but she looked around, and then her tone suddenly changed. "Every day in the Shadow City, I'm facing 'national events,' Legion, world, race, The rise and fall of the universe as a unit, slowly seems to know that there is only one way of doing things like those of the Imperial soldiers, sweeping, sweeping, or sweeping ... In case of indecision, sweeping directly ... Wood, you say if Without this opportunity, will we one day forget that in fact, those who are swept by us are also crying and laughing people? Look at these around ... "

Although Lin Xue seemed to just say it casually, I suddenly stopped.

Although in the Empire Zone every day, I will go around in the macro world and mingle with everyone, but how long have we not been in contact with a new world without the imperial empire? Not coming as invincible, nor observing with the savior's mentality, without the army, without any plan of conquest, just coming to the locals like travelers and living with them for a period of time-this form of contact How long has it been?

In the hometown of vanilla, we hold the idea of ​​testing the faith of the Raven God and go to the world of the Mellow Rebels. We are holding the purpose of counterinsurgency. Even if we contact the indigenous people of those worlds, we have always observed from a detached perspective. Now, planning ... Although I know my mentality is okay, this fact is indeed problematic.

This time alone, the situation is slightly different.

I looked at the tent behind me, and at the noisy mercenary camps in the distance, Joseph's metal sign was still in his arms, and the stupid man was waiting for us tomorrow to go to him-we are looking for a long-lost The "inefficient" method of contacting and living with the locals has so far not summoned any superpowers to tear the truth of the world (thanks in this respect to the deterrent power of the fallen apostles). This is a waste of time by the standard of the Apostles of the Spirit, but I think it may also make sense.

Although Bettis said that our family has the ability to maintain mentality (you have to say that it is also lacking in mind), but if this talent of lacking in mind can be used, other ways to remind ourselves at all times It's also a good thing to pay attention to people and things that are easily overlooked.

My gaze fell on Bingtis. This careless female hooligan does not know when it will become our "leader". She planned the action plan for the two days, including her visit to the northern fortress. It is difficult to say whether these decisions are true. There is some foresight in it. But noticing the sight that fell on her body, Bingtis just looked up and shook her white eyes: "Hurry up, let's study it. Lice essence has copied some of the books."

Regarding him, thinking too much is not my style.

We got this "rich" dinner in threes and fives, and then came to the tent in the middle. Bettis found three thick, uncovered books from the portable space and threw them on the low table: "These are the three most representative of them, one is a history book of genocide, one It's folk stories and poems of that year, and there is an ancient mainland encyclopedia. "

As soon as the monkey was rushing, the monkey rushed up, grabbed a copy of the book, and turned it up: "Well. Why is it still hot? You also have body temperature in your portable space?"

"Did you say it was just copied?" Bingtis glanced lightly. "The temperature of the magic spells. Oh yeah, the second half of these books have no words for the time being. The lice essence is not strong. When copying, There is data loss and I'm getting them retransmitted. "

I picked up a copy of the so-called "" and looked at it. The second half of it is all white paper, but large sections of text and pictures are quickly emerging on those white papers. From time to time, some paragraphs appear to be copied incorrectly, so the text on the book pages is erased and reprinted in front of me. . It is amazing that every page of this book copied by divine magic has a very light watermark that does not affect reading. The watermark has a big line on it: pirated reading is unreasonable. If necessary, please support the original.

Me: "... Bingtis, your divinity is really human."

The female hooligan proudly shook her hair (this time really pulled Huesca): "Cut, smoking is still printed on the cigarette case. It is harmful to health. What you say is also a goddess, you have to pretend to have professional ethics. Right-and it ’s easy to pass the trial when applying for a patent at the Pantheon. Those old antiques have pits in their heads, and it ’s okay for others to make anything, but it ’s like being a thief when they are protected. ”

My forehead sweats: This goddess who lives by technology house and Xueba does n’t know how many strange “divinities” have been studied. The large ones can destroy the world, but the small ones are similar to “pencil sharpening. "I don't know how long her brain is like such a cold technique, but it is undeniable that she is indeed a genius in a sense. The so-called genius is not to say that you have to study the theory of relativity to change the world. Sometimes you can explain why there is static electricity in a winter sweater and no static electricity in a summer. That is also a genius. I was stimulated by the little inventors when I watched TV. I was fascinated to study why the sweater was not static in summer. I felt that I could occupy the local station for five minutes once my research was successful. Later, when this project was successful, She was cut off by her elder sister. She told me that the reason why the sweaters can't afford static electricity in summer is that no one wears sweaters in summer ...

I flipped the thing in my hand, it should be the folklore story mentioned by Bingtis-the folklore before the first Darkmoon War. Such a large book seems to be not much thinner than the Bible of the goddess, and the two other books that Qian Qian and Lin Xue are holding are also large tombs. It is obviously not realistic to look at the past word by word. So I can only flip roughly.

When we studied the Goddess Bible before, we found that this sect cut off the history before the First Dark Moon War, and turned all the knowledge before the war into legendary stories in the name of the "Era of Heaven". It is obviously abnormal for any academic institution outside the church to characterize that history.

Under normal circumstances, ancient history is regarded as a legend only for two reasons. Either that humans were really too primitive at the time, and they still lived the days of cutting meat with stones and applying grass juice on their faces to pretend to be possessed by the gods. Such ancient times Of course, due to the lack of written records, it becomes no different from the legend. Other reasons are only extinct wars, and the scale of the war must be to reduce the world's population to one tenth or less, and completely destroy all The extent of this kind of civilization remains. The civilization process of each intelligent race is indeed often hit by war, but in many cases, its robustness and ability to "fake death" is also astounding. Shallowly, her dad was able to piece together a pile of broken tiles to eat three meals a day for an ancient civilization that had been extinct for thousands of years, so the traces of civilization left by intelligent creatures are not so easily wiped out.

Therefore, the history before the first Darkmoon War is clearly considered to be "ancient legend" ~ www.readwn.com ~ Although the scale of the five wars is very large, people on the ground still know how to use the transfer station. It shows that their civilization has not been completely cut off by war in theory. So where is the true history before the first war?

In these books we have.

The scripture of the goddess describes the history before the first war as a peace of all races, the "dharma" era of Datong, and called it with the words "era of heaven". Considering that most intelligent species have grown up in wars and smokes, and that multi-species civilizations are extinct, there will be extinct wars. If a multi-species world can really live together, Nothing, even if it is relatively peaceful and developed into the national phase, it is really a miracle, and it is indeed enough to be called "the world in the age of heaven".

But just a few minutes later, I saw at least four or five folk tales in the book based on racial discrimination and melee ...

Looking shallowly, a history is even more exaggerated: it is recorded by another race from the perspective of an onlooker, and it depicts a small race called "Lin Jing" that was extinct by monsters!
