Section 7 The Unknown World
readx;
Lu Wu was stuffed into a bunch of concepts before, according to so-and-so military regulations, so-and-so conventions, and so-and-so laws...... In short, because of the death of the Governor, no one could give any orders to these remaining troops, and they were now completely free and independent. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info but everything is just a prevarication. Or rather, an official-style article.
The real key is that these remnants are defeated, and no one wants them.
The losses of these troops were too heavy, basically a regiment in name, but in fact there were only a few hundred, or even dozens of men, with all the loss of equipment, low morale, and a large number of wounded and sick, and they were already unbearable for a battle. If it weren't for the military rule (that is, the rule that as long as there is one officer alive, the legion cannot be disbanded), it is estimated that they would have been crossed out in the table of the war sequence a long time ago. However, the people who designed this military regulation in the first place probably used it to motivate the army to fight hard, and did not expect such a situation.
In fact, the cost of re-replenishing, equipping, and reorganizing them will only be greater than that of building a new legion. And disbanding them in place is not a good option. Disarmament and repatriation is not a frivolous document, it will require additional costs, and the next decision may also have to bear some political sequelae.
So, they were abandoned, just like a housewife on earth dumping garbage into a garbage can, without a trace of attachment. As for whether this garbage will stink in the future, whether it will attract rats and bugs, and what will be done with it in the end, no one cares.
Not only them, but also refugees.
The areas adjacent to the Banshee Gate are not short of populations, in fact, the relationship has always been the other way around - so they have little interest in accepting refugees. Besides, those young and middle-aged people who have the ability to escape quickly have been taken in by them, and the rest are old and weak women and children. They are like the leftover dregs of sugar cane chewing, which can no longer arouse any interest.
"So...... What happens next?"
"I don't know. Red-clothed bowed his head. "I guess, just guess, the top of the Huiyue camp, those archons, haven't decided what to do next. Maybe they're just going to wait here, watching Kecha Goat and the Stygian army fight each other. The Banshee's Gate is a remote area, and the balance has come to an end, and the Archons of the Radiant Moon will not do anything unless they think there is a good opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the Stygian army. The loss of a region is a common occurrence - except that the Banshee's Gate is replaced with the banner of the Stygian Moon, perhaps nothing else will change. ”
This time, Hongyi completely misunderstood Lu Wu. Lu Wu didn't care what the consuls would decide, nor did he want to know about high-level things such as the growth and decline of the faction, but wanted to know the future of them, the remnants of the defeated army and the refugees.
"If Huiyue finally loses this place......" Lu Wu asked tentatively. "What will happen to us?"
It's not bad if you just live in a different place. To be honest, Lu Wu was a little strange as to why the neighboring governor would block the border. You know, don't look at the fact that most of the refugees are now blocked on the border, but in fact, before the blockade, many people (it is estimated that the previous deserters, such as the captain, were among them) had already fled.
Although he still has his own understanding after Hongyi's explanation, he knows that this is actually a process of "screening", separating the worthless old and weak women and children, and sheltering the young and middle-aged who still have a little value. After all, the former will only consume materials, and the latter can generate value. But come to think of it, those people won't be facing a good living environment, right?
"If Hui Yue gives up, we ....... Hongyi looked at Lu Wu, "The best outcome is that they should build a city like this somewhere," he said, pointing to the tent beside him. "Let's live in that place for the rest of our lives. ”
Lu Wu immediately remembered the refugee camp on Earth. It should be about the same. It feels like this world, between different governors of the same camp, is it almost an "Allied" relationship? In this kind of relationship, people will not treat you as their own national, and giving you a place to live, and providing some sporadic assistance is the limit. Maybe after living for hundreds of years, you can slowly dissolve into that society. But this generation has to live a life under the fence for the rest of their lives.
……
When she returned to the tent, Amber was sitting there.
It's not the kind of idle meditation, but in the true sense of the word, it's similar to meditation. Although Lu Wu didn't understand, he also understood that this was a way for Amber to improve her mental power so that she could get in touch with her physical body.
Even Amber wasn't sure what was going on. None of this is logical. Her loss of contact with her body can only be understood as a deliberate effort, but what's the point?
If you want to kill Amber, you can do it directly. As long as the body is destroyed, the warlock is dead.
Because of this confusion and incomprehension, Amber decided to stay here for a while, to determine where her physical body was.
"Lu Wu, you're back. Lu Wu's return made Amber end her meditation.
Lu Wu looked at Amber and said it a little strangely, as if he brought Amber over, and no one asked anything. Everyone seemed surprised to think that they were a couple - even living in tents. Of course, there are actually no extra tents to give to Amber.
"Amber, how's it going?"
"I can feel ...... vaguely," Amber said. "My body should still be at the academy. ”
"Academy?"
"Yes, the biggest and best place for the entire Huiyue camp to train warlocks. Speaking of this, Amber seemed to be in good spirits. "Even in the whole world, it's a good place. ”
"Where?" If it wasn't too far away, Lu Wu thought he could go and see, or inquire.
"Hah......" Amber laughed. "I don't know. The location of the academy is not fixed, it is not like the earth. ”
"What? ”
"That's right, there aren't many floating cities in the Huiyue camp, but the academy is one of them. Amber said. "Only warlocks of noble blood and outstanding talent are eligible to be educated at the Academy. ”
"Floating City? that, the same ...... I saw last time Floating castles, what's the difference?"
"The one you see is called a Floating Fortress, or a Floating Castle," Amber explained. "Giant artificially built war machines. The academy is located in ancient times, but it was called the Floating Continent. It is naturally formed, and its size and area are not comparable to those of a mere floating fortress. ”
She drew casually on the table with her hand, and gave Lu Wu a basic concept: the Floating Continent is not a small castle or fortress, but a floating continent with an area of up to hundreds of thousands or millions of square kilometers, in the true sense.
In this world, "Floating City" and "Floating Fortress" are two very different concepts. Although they are all floating in the sky because of the "anti-gravity" effect of the resonance stone, the former is naturally formed, no matter the size and area can be compared with artificial creations, it is a real continent, and the latter, the actual size, is about the grade of several aircraft carriers on the earth. And these floating continents are where most warlocks really live.
Powerful warlocks live high in the heavens, and weak mortals live above the earth. This is the norm in this world. This is also the reason why after Lu Wu came to this world, he has seen tens of thousands of people, but he has never seen a single warlock.
In the entire Banshee Gate, there are no warlocks at all.
The night was dark. The entire camp seemed to be in a deep sleep.
"Partner, you're very talented. Lu Wu lay in his sleeping bag and looked at the amber on the side.
When on Earth, amber rested in the Holoera. So this is the first time Lu Wu has seen her sleeping position. Amber's body lies flat, in a half-virtual and half-real state, more like a 3D projection than a person. But because of this, her body did not appear as virtual as usual, and many details were looming.
Lu Wu hurriedly looked away. Don't dare to keep looking, if Amber knows, it won't be good.
Because Amber's body wasn't real flesh and blood, she wasn't afraid of the cold - and then again, Lu Wu only had one sleeping bag. No one seems to think that Amber needs another sleeping bag as well.
Normally on Earth, or at least in China, people should think of this, right? But the world ...... Well, Lu Wu found that every time he thought he knew something, he found that he didn't know more things.
Now that I think about it, Amber obviously has a lot of power, but why did she start cautiously on Earth. At that time, Amber didn't do anything at first, and learned about the global society from books. And only that, it has to be. Otherwise, the brains of both sides are not on the same plane at all.
It's a pity that although Lu Wu has a master around him, he is too careless. After all, if it weren't for that Kecha Goat, he really just wanted to be a passerby.
I don't know Ren Jian...... And the family...... How's it going, what's missing for me...... No, what's the thought! The time of the two worlds is not on the same timeline at all, and now for Ren Jian, it is estimated that not even a month has passed. It's normal to travel for a month or two in this day and age.
His mind was so chaotic that he couldn't sleep for a while.
"Partner, it's a good day. The voice of a master rang out in the headphones. "I've seen through the truth a little bit. ”
"Ah," Lu Wu's first reaction was to turn his head to look at Amber.
Speaking of which, although the two of them didn't sleep in a sleeping bag (in fact, Lu Wu really wanted to touch Amber secretly so that he could know what Amber was like in this state), but after all, this was a single tent - no matter how spacious it was, it was designed for a single person. The two of them couldn't distance themselves.
Originally, the master would not have spoken at this distance—the master had always been cautious—but now the master took the initiative to speak. Speaking of which, it seems that the master didn't talk much all day today.
"See through the truth? ...... you mean?"
"Partner, do you think this is a great opportunity?" said the master. "Hehe, the opportunity is right in front of you, don't let it go. In this world, we're open!"
"Hang?"
"Partner, the little warlock's affairs can be slow, I guess she won't necessarily listen to what you say now. The master said. "But, judging from the current situation, there must be something wrong with her...... The hope of lifting the curse cannot be placed on her. The master's attitude seemed to be very resolute, but Lu Wu did not object to this. Amber would definitely help him, but how much she could help was another question. "Partner, we have to work on our own. ”
As he spoke, there was a commotion outside. Lu Wu knew that something must have happened, and he poked his head out of the tent, only to see the skyrocketing fire in the distance.
