.

Either die happily or live painfully.

When a new spark descends on the world, the gears of civilization begin to restart. The oasis, the pure land of mankind, is divided into five mountains and four seas.

The mountains are Zelu, east, west, south, north, and middle, and the people of the oasis call them the five earths. The sea is the water realm, the sea of the sea, the sea of misty, the sea of the underworld, the dead sea, the people of the oasis call the four regions.

Among the four domains, the sea is the widest, and it is isolated from all, and no ship can cross it. Among the five earths, Middle Earth is the largest, and the countries compete for power, plundering and being plundered at all times.

This kind of predatory game is called 'chasing the deer', and it is like killing a wild deer, and the weak eat the strong and shoot them with arrows. Chase the deer, chase the deer in the world except me, those who follow will prosper, and those who oppose will die.

The good sages told the people that the evil man is evil himself, and that he can only live in the dark. Like the rotten red fruit in my hand, it will be spurned by the world.

The Most High One at the top tells people that waste is waste after all, and moths are moths after all. Those who are cowardly can only wait for death after all, like ants under the feet of a butcher.

Countless lessons of blood and tears have taught people that killing never ends. Everything in front of me is calm, just a short rest.

History tells us that when oppression fills like a barrel with water, endless resentment overflows. At that time, the slave will become the master of the world.

Because of the game of 'chasing deer', the oasis is staging every day the collapse of the country, the separation of wives, and the accumulation of corpses. Those in dire straits have no choice but to pray for help from the gods they believe in.

But the funny thing is that God never appeared.

What's even more ridiculous is that it is not the giants who will save the world, but a group of dwarves, a group of dwarfs who are less than three feet tall. They live in the western part of Middle-earth, in a large forest infested with mosquitoes.

The people of the oasis call these dwarves 'Minu', which is a very blasphemous and discriminatory derogation. It means that they are only as tall as a millet seedling, and any person can step on their heads, trample on them, and spit on them.

On the oasis, this group of minu is the most despicable, and everyone can be bullied. As a result, the long-term bullying made them very inferior, timid, cowardly, and self-willing, and they only dared to hide in the forest to survive.

Therefore, these Minu never associate with others, and never trust anyone in the world, not even themselves. I feel that it is better to believe in others than to believe in a dog.

In the country of Minu, there is an ordinary, but also not ordinary, Minu. His name was 'Gao', and the Minu who knew him called him Short Tall. However, despite the fact that Shorty Tau has such a beautiful name that is extremely enviable, he is not much different from the other Minu, especially the tall one.

The dwarf man was tall and an extremely poor Minu, who never associated with any living person. But the dwarf man is also a minu with dreams, and he never spends his faith, even when he is hungry, poor, enslaved, and discriminated against.

Some people say that a short man is a madman. It is also said that the short man is a genius. Some people say that Taller is a heinous villain. It is also said that the dwarf man is a savior of transcendent beings.

This has to start with the story of the 'Twenty-Four Shorts', a legendary story that is not long or short. Some see the story as a shameless joke or an ethereal myth.

But some people believe that this story tells people that the twenty-four dwarfs are not demons, but the embodiment of justice. The short man is tall, and he is the one chosen by the god of snow, the chosen one.

It is said that the western part of Middle-earth is a blessed land, and there are countless ruins and tombs buried under the forest, from the ancient, primeval, desolate, or more ancient times. Hidden in it are mountains of gold, silver and jewelry, inexhaustible, the greatest wealth of the Minu people.

In order to live, to eat, to wear, and to what they want, many Minu people take digging graves as a serious matter. The dwarf is one of the sand millets of the sea.

One day, a man in a black robe came to this forest full of mosquitoes. No one knows who he is, no one knows where he came from or where he's going.

All I know is that the man in the black robe found the dwarf and talked about something, but no one knows what these things are. I only know that after the chat, the short man who never interacts with people has changed, and it is completely complete.

The dwarf spent all his savings, and found twenty-three men as good as him, all of whom were good at digging graves. The dwarf said that he had found an incomparably large ancient ruin, full of treasures, and was going to dig it.

In this way, the legend of the twenty-four dwarfs quietly appeared. After a lot of hardships, they finally opened this ancient ruin. However, what they found was not a treasure, but the eagle dog of the demon country, Kui.

This is a man-eating monster, with red hair and red eyes, black skin and blood green, green face and fangs, and strong palm tips. It looks like a human, but it is dozens or even hundreds of times taller than a human. An elephant about three feet tall can be slapped into pulp with a single slap.

In just half a month, countless kui swept through the entire oasis like a tornado, killing anyone they saw. After the deliberation of the Most High of the nations, there was a unity on the oasis that had never been seen before.

With Middle-earth as the main battlefield, with flesh and blood as the city wall, and with the god of Aun as the faith. In the smoke of gunpowder, the duel between people and kui began.

It lasted one hundred and thirteen years, and on the last day of autumn, Kui was defeated. The sorcerer used magic to build an invisible barrier outside the cities of the kingdoms, driving Kui to the land of the ruins, where he was trapped in the snow-capped mountains.

In order to celebrate this day, the Most High of the Nations designated it as a day of peace, symbolized by a white dove. And three chapters of the law, changing the rules of the game of 'chasing deer'.

Chapter 1, Creed. Ploughing in spring and summer, fighting in autumn and hiding in winter, the five countries of the oasis have to fight in autumn.

The second chapter of the law, choose to behead. As long as the defeated kneel to the victor and beg for mercy, saying, 'I hate my country, and I am willing to turn my back on my country and faith, and become a slave and a dog at the feet of the king.'" Then, the defeated can pick up a small life.

The third chapter, the precepts. When the white doves fly into the blue sky, and the keel horn blows on the last day of autumn, who, where, and for whatever reason must immediately cease fighting and retreat to their own territory before the snow covers the mountains.

The people of the Oasis swore an oath of faith that if anyone dared to disobey these three laws, they would be killed as a deer in the name of 'keeping peace'. Those who surrender are reduced to slaves, and those who do not descend die without a place to be buried.

There was once an island nation, with the red sun as its totem, located between the eastern and western borders of Middle-earth. They are proud of their strength, and they want to annex Middle-earth in the east, and they are not afraid of the three laws.

When the countries of Middle-earth heard this, they immediately joined forces to send elite troops to raze the island nation to the ground. Those who survived, males, were slaves for generations; Female, generations of prostitutes.

Since then, the lesson has been engraved into everyone's bones and remembered in the heart. Among the countries of the oasis, no one dares to cross the thunder pool by half a step.

But God seems to be very fond of teasing people, playing with the fate of all things like a child. Forcing people into a dilemma again and again, choosing the right one will live, and the wrong one will die.

100 Years Later......

Kui, the most brave and warlike general of the Wu Kingdom, commanded 300,000 iron armor. The mount is a saber-toothed blood tiger larger than a war horse, so people call him the Tiger King of the South.

On the order of the Emperor of the Wu Kingdom, the Tiger King led 100,000 iron armor to the north to conquer, and drove straight into the invincible. In just two months, he slaughtered nine countries and conquered 18 cities.

On the way back to the south, a burst of fog suddenly broke out, and 100,000 ironclad military horses were lost because of this. During the evacuation, he actually broke into the eastern suburbs of Ayun Snow Mountain, and met a city standing in the wind and snow, Snow Country.

Looking at the city in front of him, the Tiger King couldn't help frowning, because he didn't know that there was such a thing as a snow country on Middle-earth. In other words, I don't know that at the foot of the desolate land of Ayun Snow Mountain, there will be people who will establish a royal city here. After all, this is the place where demons live.

But it doesn't matter anymore, there are countless nations on Middle-earth, big and small, who die today and live tomorrow, like weeds blown by the spring breeze. The Tiger King has been crisscrossing the southern border for twenty-four years, and he has seen too many royal cities and kingdoms of all kinds, and he has become numb.

The important thing is that the Tiger King signed a military order before going north to conquer, destroying the country when encountering the country, and slaughtering the city when encountering the city, which is the emperor's will. If the country is not destroyed, and the city is not slaughtered, then there will be no good fruit to eat.

So, as soon as the Tiger King gave the order, 100,000 iron armor swarmed towards the Snow King City. Shouting to kill the heavens, the Tiger King rode the extremely fierce saber-toothed blood tiger, pinched an extremely sharp sword in his hand, and took the lead in rushing to the forefront.

In front of the 100,000 brave and invincible iron armor, the gates of the Snow Country are vulnerable. It only took three hits before it was knocked open by a war log as thick as a pot.

What followed was a battle with a huge disparity in strength. For the Tiger King, this was nothing more than a very ordinary, very common massacre, and there was no shock.

Wherever the iron armor passed, corpses flew sideways. The shouts of killing, cries, and screams were intertwined, dyeing the white and flawless snow red.

The people of Snowpiercer have no power to fight back, and if they are like a young deer waiting to be slaughtered, they will not even have a chance to escape. In just half an hour, the Tiger King led his 100,000 iron armor to slaughter the huge Snow Country.

This will be followed by rebuke, and the victor will behead the defeated in accordance with the second law. As long as anyone says the words that betray their country and faith, then they can not die.

As precedented, the soldiers gathered the surviving captives together, lined them up, and then began to ask them one by one if they would say that or not. Everyone has only three numbers to think about, and if they exceed or don't say anything, the executioner will cut off their heads with a big knife in his hand.

The Tiger King has seen a lot of this bloody scene, and he bets that within half a pillar of incense, the captives behind him will be so frightened that they will beg for mercy on their knees. Then say that sentence that is shameless, but can keep you alive.

It seems that in the face of the fear of death, what courtesy, righteousness and shame, what faith, what country relatives, are already at hand. Like a cheap prostitute, as long as you are willing to pay, she will do anything.

With the wave of the Tiger King's order, one hundred and thirteen shirtless executioners with large swords walked up to the captives and asked them impatiently, "Do you choose life or death?" ”

The executioners didn't want to talk nonsense, so they asked very plainly. Because there are so many captives to kill today, more than 10,000 people, and they are only one hundred and thirteen.

The closest to the Tiger King was a bad old man, who stared at the executioner in front of him without blinking. His eyes were full of fear, anger, helplessness, and unwillingness, and his body had begun to tremble.

But he seemed to be a hard bone, and said to the executioner with grief and indignation: "The people of the Snow Country never turn their backs on their motherland, nor do they turn their backs on their beliefs. ”

"You're talking too much!" The executioner did not hesitate to swing the broadsword, because the gap between the three numbers had arrived.

In an instant, blood splattered onto the executioner's face. Like the most beautiful flowers in the world, blooming on the nourishing cow dung, it is incredibly beautiful.

Interestingly, the old man's head fell to the ground and rolled in front of the Tiger King, his eyes and mouth still blinking. Looking at this scene, the Tiger King frowned, and then gently pulled and kicked the saber-toothed blood tiger as food.

However, the saber-toothed blood tiger didn't like this bloody head very much. After eating it and chewing it twice, he spit it out, as if he was disgusted that this skull was not fresh.

But it didn't matter, he wasn't the only prisoner who died, and he wasn't the only one who landed on the ground. Before the Tiger King could speak, the three executioners picked out a few young people's heads and threw them in front of the saber-toothed Blood Tiger.

This time, the saber-toothed blood tiger ate with relish. First, he bit his skull with a 'cluck', and then lay on the ground and 'hissed' to lick his food, looking like a big cat greedy for fishy fish.

Soon, the second wave of chopping began to take the stage, and the executioners asked the captives with expressionless faces, saying, "Choose your life?" Or choose death? ”

The Tiger King sat quietly and watched, Gu Jing Wubo, thinking that they would beg for mercy this time and say that sentence. Unexpectedly, these captives followed the example of the bad old man and said, "The people of the Snow Country never turn their backs on their motherland, nor do they turn their backs on their beliefs. ”

The Tiger King raised his eyebrows, feeling a little surprised, but it was only a moment. The Tiger King thought that these captives had just not tasted the bitter fruits, and that after a few rounds of beheading, they would inevitably be scared to the point of crying.

But as a result, wave after wave of choices and slashes have passed, but none of these captives have shaken their original intentions. From morning till noon, from 10,000 to two, none of them begged for mercy.

And the last two captives, one is an old man in a black shirt, and the other is a young man in a white shirt. The executioner routinely asked them whether to live or die. Unexpectedly, they were silent, closed their eyes, and knelt in the pool of blood indifferently, like stone sculptures.

The executioner pursed his lips and impatiently raised his broadsword, ready to cut off their heads. But at this moment, suddenly, a flock of white doves fluttered their wings and flew into the sky, and the keel horn followed, 'Woo! Woo! Woo! The resounding rang out.
