Time is the best panacea, and hundreds of years can make people turn their bitter hatred into a record symbol, and how much meaning does this symbol have in the face of the interests that move people's hearts.

Most of the Seymour people of this generation, especially those who live in Horn City, have forgotten the fear that was once ubiquitous, slaves, food, sacrifices, and life is a kind of currency in the face of evil gods.

More than a hundred years have passed, and the luxurious living conditions in this land have not only eroded their courage as warriors, but also turned the not-so-ancient hatred into a symbol in the mouth of an old man.

"Since you (the Eichites) came here, there has been no possibility or need for unity among the Seymours, and all doom has been doomed since the day Sideon's fool summoned the evil god. ”

In the eyes of Sidien, these new generation Seymours, there is no difference between the Ash and the evil gods, because they have not experienced the era of the evil gods, and the inheritance and loss of a hundred years are enough to make the Seymours inherited by the primitive tribe lose the flesh and blood memories of the past.

Therefore, in order to deal with the increasing frequency of the Seymours, he could consider bringing in their old enemy, the evil god, just as he found a few ferocious wild cats in order to expel the rat infestation in his home.

But in the eyes of the old people who have experienced the great migration, this behavior is simply due to the fact that they have found a group of cannibalistic wolves due to rat infestation, the former is just annoying and has many hidden dangers, and the latter just doesn't want to live at all.

"There is a fundamental difference between the Ashis and the evil gods, especially for the inhabitants of this land. ”

It was not Rorschach who said this, but Elder Martha, who was holding the teacup in both hands and looking indifferent.

"Compared to caravans that rely on two feet, your ship is too fast, more than seventy years ago, Sias and I both left this wasteland to take a look outside, we even lived in Radiant City, the capital of knights for several years, Sias back then, probably about the same age as you are now..."

Neither Radiant City nor Rorschach, the capital of knights, had heard of it, but Lori knew it.

[A super-large population gathering point, it is also the station of the two major gods of light and dragon god in Anthoreen, and it is also the original city of the Ashites. Behind them are two super-empires. 】

The Ishes and the evil gods are different, Rorschach has heard many times, but he has not experienced it himself, but for the local residents, it is completely different.

When the arrival of outsiders and their interference and influence become a reality that cannot be refused, some people will choose to be hostile and stay away, but some people will choose to understand and learn...... At the very least, you have to know what they want, what they plan to do, and how strong they are before you can decide how to deal with it.

Martha and Sias, apparently both of the latter, were also mainstays of the reformers in their time.

Or, to be more accurate, Martha was the leader of the Reformation, and the young Sias was actively learning from the pioneers of the reform of the civilization of outsiders.

"Back then, I didn't think about it so much, I just wanted to know more about our mortal enemy evil god, and the person who knew you best was your enemy. But where I was, I made a lot of friends, and I realized that the world was far bigger than it used to be. ”

"The evil gods and the Ash gods are completely two different existences, especially for the natives. ”

It was a strange feeling, and the natives of Ansolene explained to Rorschach the difference between his evil gods and the true gods.

The evil gods are extremely aggressive beings who conquer, occupy, enslave, and drain all value, just like the traditional conqueror king.

For them, the locals probably only have slaves, food, and lackeys, but the worst thing is that the evil gods do not "need" the locals.

And the gods of Ash...... but much more moderate.

When they came here, they were not only competing for the supreme throne, but also seeking their own living space.

Like seeds that are carried in the wind, they have no roots, so they have to draw the sun, the water, the soil, and they need the help and friendship of the locals.

That's the essential difference.

When Rorschach thinks about it, it is.

The development of the church and the reclamation of the wasteland are inseparable from manpower, the number of smugglers is unstable and unsafe, the number of adventers is always limited, and the core members of the last church must be local residents, not to mention the more than ninety percent of local believers.

If the new gods are seeds, the native inhabitants are the soil for their further growth.

The old lady looked at the scenery outside the window, as well as the busy pedestrians and shoppers on the street, her eyes seemed to look at the past of time, but the corners of her mouth showed joy from the heart.

“...... Back then, we were actually very envious of this kind of life, the radiant streets, we only needed to pay some waste paper to buy the necessities of life, the worthless stones in the wasteland, you could buy beautiful clothes, food for the winter, and most importantly, you still had legal and moral constraints......"

Rorschach vaguely understood that this relieved smile was not for the current living environment, but for his own people to enter the era of civilization.

The new gods have risen to higher positions with the help of the natives, and have even become the embodiment of the order and rules of the land, but at the same time, the local inhabitants can also achieve countless changes.

“...... Actually, Sias and I have even been looking forward to your arrival, of course, except here, under any circumstances, we will not admit it......"

Outsiders disrupted the peace of the locals, but also brought the fire of civilization, after enjoying the sweetness of civilization, the outsiders of the year naturally had a lot of ideas.

But it is impossible for them to say it, because it is a betrayal of the customs of primitive tribes and ancestors, and when the bloody revenge clan rules of blood for blood collide with the laws of foreign civilizations, one side must change.

Relying on the ideas of just a few people to confront the inertia of the whole country and race? Then wait for the corpse to be collected.

"The law of the ancestors is immutable", there are some things you think are for their good, and they will burn you at the stake as a heretic and a rebel.

The Great Harait's Wasteland is not the core of this world, or to put it simply, it has a bit of a backcountry flavor, and the super forces of the Eichi already have their own territory, and it is impossible for them to develop here before the entry of the secondary and secondary forces.

This kind of is based on a hundred years, and it is not the true god boss in the memory of the old people, but the new gods who are emerging one after another.

Even in old age and retirement, reformers are still reformers, longing for the spark of civilization to bloom in the pristine land, and for their people to become the watchmen of law and morality.

Old Martha has been doing education, instilling words and culture into the next generation of the clan bit by bit, and as her most successful child, Sias began to break the convention, studied and learned the technology and civilization of the outside world, and only then did he have the magic technology industry in Jiaocheng.

In fact, without Martha's indulgence, how could the overlord of the wasteland, the eagle, watch the dull horned elephant completely change his habits and enter the era of settled city-states.

The law of the ancestors is immutable, and those old men shout such slogans, whether they really want to maintain the glory of the so-called ancestors, or whether they only care about their own high power.

For the growth of Horn City, and for the entire Seymour people to keep up with the changes of the times, I am afraid that both Sias and Martha have paid a lot.

In their eyes, as long as the richer and more civilized life in the corner city proves this path, the people of the wasteland will naturally follow.

This path has also proved to be feasible, and although there are still all kinds of strange words, the new generation of Wasteland Seymour people do become more and more interested in life in Corner City.

And the people's desire for a better life will determine the trend of further development.

While gratifying, and with the aging of age, Sias, who is unable to do anything, can only find a successor, but here, there are some problems.

Sideon, that's outstanding.

No one knows that Sias adopted him as his adopted son, not because of his military talents, but because he was just a young technician who dared to think and do.

In Sias's eyes, the righteous son born in this wasteland has no restrictions from the old era, and dares to think and do, which is just right to bring the entire tribe to the new era.

Unexpectedly, Sideon was too strong, too strong to be satisfied with the fate arranged by his elders, strong enough to control the future destiny of the entire race, strong enough to "eradicate" the influence of outsiders, strong enough to hope to establish his own empire.

Another thing that dares to try is naturally reckless and impulsive.

In his eyes, there is no difference between the Ash and the evil gods, they are both obstacles to his hegemony, and the evil gods who cannot interfere now are even more annoying than the Ash people who can be seen everywhere

"Time is limited, and I have to do whatever it takes. ”

And then everything spiraled out of control......

“...... In fact, little Sias did not have a few years to live, and that was his last advice, telling him the ridiculousness of this so-called road of hegemony, advising him to stay away from those unpredictable existences, telling him who was a friend to be approached, and who was an old enemy who must be kept away, and advising him to ......"

Martha paused, and then spoke again, but it was a somewhat familiar tone, the absurd tone of old Sias.

"What is the great cause of the founding of the country, what is the significance of the emperor through the ages, our children only care about what kind of life they will live in the future. ”

Rorschach was speechless, and there were some things that he could barely understand, and some of them could be understood, but he always had to ask......

"Is it worth it?"

He, probably thinking it was worth it, was the last persuasion, admonishing him to break off his relationship with the evil god and persuading him to take another path. ”

Rorschach fell silent, but the "system" sent analytical intelligence from the experts.

The death of Sias directly led to the outbreak of war, unless Sidion went mad, the balance of power of the three parties was restricted, and the situation of common development would exist for a long time.

And once all three parties are accustomed to this kind of life and can benefit from it, then it will be difficult to change, and since New Tonia City is a sourceless wood, it will inevitably absorb a large number of indigenous people, and eventually the Seymour people will still become the backbone and residents of the city.

The Seymours have lost an empire, but the Seymours have a future that will keep up with the times, and the people will have a better life.

To put it another way, if Sideon succeeds in capturing the city, what will the Seymours gain?

An empire, an empire that constantly kills its own people, the hatred of the expelled Ishites, the hatred and resentment gained by suppressing and exterminating the tribes of the wasteland?

Once the war starts, I'm afraid it won't end so easily, and in the end, the overlord of Horn City can probably get the title of an emperor.

Will the expelled Ichis be willing to fail? Endless revenge and resentment are to come.

"Now that the door to the new era has been opened, it is impossible to go back. ”

In Martha's old voice, there was unquestionable firmness, or a willingness to sacrifice everything for it.
