Chapter 621: New World
Chu Tianjiang shot and killed Solrinberg, which really surprised Iskar and Soya.
It's just that Chu Tianjiang didn't explain much and left the tomb. Iskar and Soya had no choice but to follow the dean, and they couldn't stay in the tomb.
"Soya, take us to the western region."
Soya nodded, and went to the front to lead the way.
When Soya walked away, Iska asked, "Brother Chu, you start ......"
"Keeping him alive is a very big threat to us. Although the church has withdrawn, there is no guarantee that Holmes or other patriarchs will not come. It would be against us if they had found out about Sollingberg and learned from him about our visit. Chu Tianjiang glanced at Iskar and said, "Besides, letting Thorinberg, an uncontrolled energy person, leave the tomb may not be a good thing for those who survive, and may even pose a threat to them. ”
"You mean, Sollingberg will rebuild the Magical Guild?"
"Iska, you can read his mind, you know better than I do."
As soon as Chu Tianjiang said this, Iskar didn't say anything more. She did know what Solingberg was thinking, and she knew what Solingborg wanted to do. The northern continent has been changed beyond recognition, and if the situation in the western region is the same, then there is a good chance that there will be only more than 10,000 survivors. If at this time, a careerist and a powerful energy person appear, it will definitely be a disaster for the survivors.
It's just that Chu Tianjiang killed Sorinberg like this, which still made Iska a little unacceptable.
Now, she can only believe that everything Chu Tianjiang does is thinking about the overall situation. All along, Iskar had never doubted Chu Tianjiang.
Without saying a word all the way, the three of them came to the western part of the Northern Continent.
10,000 years ago, the Pacific Ocean was the west. It's just that it's different now, starting from the west coast of the northern continent, about 3,000 kilometers west to the New World. After crossing the New World, about 3,000 kilometers to the west is the Old World, where the Pacific Ocean no longer exists. At present, the largest area in the world is the Southern Ocean between the United Continent and the Old World, followed by the Yan Ocean to the south of the New World, then the Ice Ocean to the north of the Northern Continent and the Old World, and the smallest area is the narrow ocean between the Northern Continent and the New World. In addition to these four oceans, there are also seas that are distributed between continents, between continents and islands, and protected by islands.
The situation is similar in the western region.
There is also a central city, known as Xiaguang City, and more than a dozen satellite cities, with a total population of 200 million. However, now these cities are all swallowed up by magma, and some have even sunk underground with the collapse of the earth's crust. There was not a single survivor in the Xiaguang City they went to in Chu Tianjiang, at least when they arrived in Chu Tianjiang, the entire city was destroyed, and there was not a single living concoctor.
The occupation forces walked crisply and thoroughly.
To be sure, the cities here are similar to those in the eastern region, with underground bases and massive modulation tanks.
That is, the church has concocted that kind of behemoth here as well.
"What now?"
"Continue west, to the New World."
"To the New World now?" Suo Ya looked at Chu Tianjiang with a little surprise. There were only three of them, and they didn't know anything about the New World.
"Just go over and see." Chu Tianjiang smiled faintly and said, "The occupation forces have withdrawn, and we have to prove something. ”
"What's the matter?"
"Has the church set up a strong field on the northern continent to prevent us from leaving the northern continent?"
Suoya's brows jumped a few times, and she looked at Chu Tianjiang with a little incomprehension.
"Four years ago, the powerful field set up by the invaders protected the northern continent and prevented others from entering. Now that the church has gotten what they wanted, and has left the Northern Continent so simply, will it set up a strong field on the Northern Continent? ”
"Probably unlikely."
Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "It's useless to guess, let's continue west, and soon we will know the way." ”
Since Chu Tianjiang said so, Suo Ya didn't have much to say. It's just that she hasn't left the Northern Continent before, so it's not her turn to lead the way this time.
At this time, on the New World.
In terms of area, the New World is the smallest of the five continents after the Great Geological Change, and it is even less than the southern continent, which is almost entirely in the extreme cold zone. However, almost three-quarters of the land in the New World is in the northern temperate zone, only a very small part is in the extreme cold zone in the north, and a small part in the south is in the tropics, so the space for human habitation and survival in the New World is much larger than that in the northern continent.
Because the human settlement area is temperate, the New World is also divided into three occupation zones: eastern, central, and western.
In the eastern part of the New World, there is only one city, the Dawning City.
In fact, there are only three cities in the entire New World, namely Dawning City, Highland City, and Westport, which are the central cities of the three occupied territories.
Before the arrival of the Church, the New World was truly a paradise.
Here, there are no night demons that threaten the common people, there is a lot of fertile land, the climate is relatively good, and people can live happily through labor. As a result, human beings in the New World are still in the era of agrarian civilization, but they are relatively developed and have no quarrel with the world. Before the arrival of the church, there were only a few small cities in the New World, and 95 percent of the people lived in the countryside.
It's just that the population of the New World is not small.
Before the arrival of the church, the population had exceeded 400 million, and there was still a lot of room for growth. If all the arable land is used to grow a variety of high-yield crops, even in the more primitive agricultural era, the food produced will be enough to feed a billion people.
The Church did not conquer the New World, but only occupied the New World.
Four years ago, there were no states in the New World, no state in the modern sense of the word, to be precise, and most of the land was in a state of free economy, ruled by a few small landlords and lords, who claimed that their power came from a supreme being. Because the rule was more enlightened and the majority of the common people were able to live a prosperous life, this social structure was maintained for more than a thousand years.
The arrival of the church has only changed the way of government.
Interestingly, the church's rule in the New World was very enlightened.
In contrast to the northern continents, the Church only built three new central cities in the New World as centers of dominion in the New World. The Church was very liberal to the common people of the New World, that is, all the common people were only required to pay taxes, and nothing else changed. Of course, if they are consciously and voluntarily, commoners can also join the church, receive modulation, and receive remuneration for serving the church.
Because it was not forced, and there was no change in the previous way of life, not many civilians were concocted.
For the vast majority of the commoners, life remained the same, except that the taxes were handed over to the new ruler and no longer served the previous lord.
This more enlightened way of ruling also reduced the pressure on the church.
In the New World, the Church had a military force of only 60,000 men, and all of them were stationed in three cities, responsible only for maintaining order and collecting taxes. It's just that, as in the northern continent, each occupied zone has a senator, and the inhabitants of the city are modulators.
Sitting in the eastern part of the New World was Nader, the ninth patriarch of the Church.
Although he didn't go to the Northern Continent, Nader knew what happened on the Northern Continent, and the Sakya who had been with Homs was also dead, and it was Chu Tianjiang who made a big fuss in the temple five years ago who killed them. Homs had already ordered a retreat from the Northern Expedition to the continent, and at the same time adjusted his deployment on other continents, asking the other elders to send the unit in charge of the concoction to the temple.
It's just that instead of letting Nader leave the New World, Holmes gave him a new mission.
This is to defend the new continent and prepare to deal with Chu Tianjiang, which may come at any time.
In order to accomplish this task, Nader returned to the temple when he handed over the unit a few days earlier, and accepted a separate concoction that Holmes had made for him.
Nader was a little unhappy with Holmes' arrangement.
It's not that he doesn't want to be stronger, it's that he doesn't want to be uglier. Although remodulation can give him more powerful superpowers, it will also change his form and make him uglier. For Nader, who has always been very personal image, this is a difficult thing to accept.
Of course, in order to gain greater strength, Nader had to make some sacrifices.
That guy, who actually killed Cross and also killed the Saga carefully concocted by Homs, his strength is extraordinary, and if he doesn't increase his strength, Nader will definitely not be his opponent.
Obviously, Nader didn't want to die here, didn't want to be cannon fodder.
Like all the patriarchs, Nader longed for the bright future that Fester had depicted, the one that would allow them to exist as gods.
After completing the remodulation and returning to the eastern part of the New World, Nader has never been calm.
According to Holmes, that guy could come to the New World at any time, or he could go to the United Continent, or he could go directly to the Old World.
No matter where he goes, as soon as he appears, the elders of his region must kill him.
Of course, it wasn't just Nader who accepted the remodulation, there were several other patriarchs, but Nader was the first to accept the remodulation.
Compared to Holmes's manipulation of his hands and feet, Nader hated Holmes even more for pointing fingers at him.
Although Nader is self-aware that he is definitely no match for Fest, he has always believed that he is better than Holmes in every way. Even if Holmes was the only patriarch directly concocted by Fest, why should he be allowed to call the shots?
Nader wants to prove what he can do, so he needs a chance to prove what he's capable of.
