Chapter 743: Exploration
"Actually, I don't know much about the Old World, and what I know is either some rumors from others or some speculation."
"Better than me, right?"
Kistis smiled reluctantly, then thought about it.
Chu Tianjiang didn't urge her, just waited patiently.
"Perhaps, you won't believe it at all." Kistis paused for a moment before he said, "Don't talk about the Old World, even in the New World, there is very little interaction between the hunting teams. ”
"What do you mean?"
"For a new human like me, fate is predestined before birth, and unless we change our fate through self-effort in the process of growing up, everyone's fate is not determined by themselves. To put it simply, once we have a full sense of individuality, we will be sent somewhere, to join a hunting team, to become a hunting warrior, or some other character. ”
Chu Tianjiang nodded, indicating that he understood what Kisstis meant.
"Of course, a complete sense of individuality does not mean a strong fighting force. After joining the Killing Clan, we need to prove our worth through our own efforts, improve our abilities, and gain a higher status. Many people simply don't survive after the end of the first battle. Of course, I was lucky. Not only did I win the first battle, but I was also very lucky enough to defeat a very powerful enemy, and even though my companions who were fighting side by side at the time fell, I was able to gain the star core from that enemy and strengthen my abilities. After that, I defeated four enemies and gained more cores from them. That's why I became the most powerful hunter on this team, and became the captain after the death of the previous captain. ”
"No matter what, only the strong can survive."
"It takes a little bit of luck." Kistis smiled reluctantly and said, "In my clan, all the warriors who joined me have already died, and I am the only one alive. ”
"This ......"
"While I don't know about the other hunting teams, the average lifespan of a hunting warrior in my team is definitely no more than ten years. Of course, this only refers to them after they become hunter-killers. We had sixteen years of growth before becoming hunters. ”
"Twenty-six?"
"Why, don't you believe I'm only twenty-eight now?"
Chu Tianjiang smiled and didn't say anything. He just felt that sixteen years of growth was too long, because for a qualitative person, it didn't take such a long time at all.
"The most important thing is that every hunting team has a fixed station."
"So cut off from each other?"
Kistis nodded and said, "Although when patrolling the borders of the station, I can occasionally encounter other warriors of the hunting team, but only encounters. We rarely communicate, and we rarely act together. If it weren't for the occasional encounter with the fighters of other hunting teams, we wouldn't even know about the existence of other hunting teams. Of course, our experiences before joining the Kill Clan, and the addition of new fighters can bring some news that we have more companions fighting elsewhere, and we're just a part of that. The problem is that as long as we become hunters, we have to stay in the station, and we can't communicate with other people. ”
"This ......"
"Weird, right?"
Chu Tianjiang nodded thoughtfully and didn't say anything more.
"To put it bluntly, we don't even know the situation in the New World, so how can we know the situation in the outside world? If we weren't stationed in a port, and if we weren't sending some people to the Old World once in a while, I would not know anything about the Old World, and these people would only bring bits and pieces of information. ”
"What do you mean?"
"According to my guess, the environment on the Old World is even harsher."
"This ......"
"You already know that the New World is our base camp, and as early as hundreds of years ago, the New World became the base of the 'Freedom Guards'."
Chu Tianjiang frowned, this was also one of the questions he suspected.
That is, the New World is not the best choice for the "Freedom Defenders".
You must know that at the time of the collapse of the church, the United Continent was the core area of human civilization. Although the enemies who established the empire were the first to attack and control the United Continent, and the Iska and the others took refuge in the southern continent for a long time, there were more reasons to choose the United Continent than the New World when forming the Freedom Guards. If nothing else, at least there are more inhabitants on the United Continent. Don't forget, during the large-scale war, there are still many people living on the terrestrial realm, and the common people are the ones who are fighting for each other. That is, in order to defeat the Empire, the "Freedom Guards" must take control of the most populous United Continent.
The problem is that instead of doing this, the Freedom Defenders chose the smallest New World.
Of course, the conditions in the New World were better, and the Resistance was the first to gain a foothold in the New World, but these were not good reasons.
"Kistis......"
"According to what I know, the people who were sent to the Old World were the most powerful hunting warriors, and they were drawn from various hunting battles."
"What does it matter?"
"Obviously, the conditions there are definitely worse, so that's why you need a lot of power. It's just that that's not the most prominent feature. ”
"What's that?"
"These fighters are personally selected by the leader. Of course, I didn't communicate much with them, after all, I was only in charge of sending them to the Old World. But I can feel that they are different from ordinary hunters, there are some differences that cannot be seen with the eyes. ”
"What's the difference?"
"They're more determined, or rather purposeful. To put it simply, they were sent to the Old World, apparently not to garrison a certain region, as we did, but to carry out a certain mission. In addition, most of them go alone, and some go in small teams, which is completely different from the hunting teams stationed in various places. In any case, sending them to the Old World was a strange thing in itself. ”
"Strange?"
"I'm just guessing."
"What speculation?"
"Soon after the end of the large-scale war, we abandoned the Old World."
"What?"
"The reason is that in the last twelve years, I have only sent hunting warriors to the Old World, and I have never hunted warriors back from the Old World."
"This ......"
"At least not back to the New World from where I'm stationed. Of course, there are some rumors related to the Old World that suggest that someone has returned from the Old World. ”
"If that's the case, we need to go to the Old World."
"In fact, that's why I decided to let you go."
"This ......"
"Your purpose is to travel to the Old World, which at least shows that you are not our enemy."
Chu Tianjiang was a little speechless, but he didn't take it to heart.
"Also, the last war is going on the Old Continent, and it's in the southern part of the country you're going to."
Chu Tianjiang's brows jumped a few times, making Kisstis speak more clearly.
"The time of war is also a time of mass migration. Before the outbreak of the war, the Empire had already controlled all the cities on the ground, so most of the war revolved around the cities, mainly we attacked the cities controlled by the Empire and took the cities from the Empire. Although we have won many victories, none of them are commendable, for almost every war has ended with the Empire's voluntary retreat. To put it bluntly, before we took the city, the empire had already transferred all the inhabitants of the city, leaving us with nothing but an empty city. There was nothing to praise about such a victory, and the initiative in the war was always in the hands of the Reich. It was not until the last war that the situation changed, and the empire did not retreat on its own initiative, as usual, but held out for many years. Although the final outcome was the same, the empire still took the initiative to retreat, leaving an empty city to us, but after the end of this war, the entire terrestrial world realm is under our control, and it is nothing more than a desolate world realm. ”
"The Empire has been there for a long time?"
Kistis nodded and said, "This is the most critical place, because the inhabitants of the city have long been transferred before the empire retreats. In other words, for a long time to come, probably three years, the Empire will hold on to nothing more than an empty city there. ”
"It's weird."
"It's very strange because nothing like this has ever happened before. What's even stranger is that we have also spent three years on this empty city, and we have suffered a lot of losses. Many of the stories I've told you are related to the three years of fighting. ”
"This ......"
"It's just that no one knows why this is happening, and no one even thinks about it." Kistis smiled reluctantly, "I didn't think about this before I met you, I always took it for granted, we had to take that city, even if it was just an empty city. ”
Chu Tianjiang nodded and didn't say anything.
"As you said, we have to go there and see what is going on there."
"Maybe when we get there, we won't get anything." Chu Tianjiang sighed, "Of course, even if it is speculation, it is much better to wander around without a purpose. ”
"If that's the case, what are your plans?"
"Go to more places and always find some clues." Chu Tianjiang glanced at Istis and said, "Time has buried a lot of things, but as long as we look for it, we can always find some clues." In fact, the things we're doing now are already having an impact. ”
Kisstis didn't say much, she could only trust Chu Tianjiang, and she also absolutely trusted Chu Tianjiang.
