When Jack Baker was young, the ruins already existed, or rather, I don't know how long they have existed, and in his memory, the ruins at that time were not much different except for fewer guns and less power, and the same chaos as now, the same despair and giving all those who were going to die a last home, just like the joke of the same heaven, this is "ruins"

Since I don't know when the entire ruins were divided into four regions, east, west, north and south, four powerful creatures ruled a large number of warriors, and countless nomads gathered to become the four largest cities in the ruins.

The Brass Throne, located to the west of the entire ruins, as the only independent town in the entire ruins that does not border the kingdom of Rhodok at all, may be a counterweight to the fact that the Brass Throne occupies the most desertified land, with the fewest number of nomads.

The city was occupied by the war boss Karn the Betrayer, and the entire city provided all the white-bladed warriors, or rather, berserkers, needed for the entire ruins. Karn's experience is well known, and the priests of each of his legions will sing the praises of his exploits on the battlefield. He was originally the chief warrior of the kingdom of Alpharis three hundred years ago, and maintained the stability of the kingdom as a good husband and leader, until one day his wife died in a long-planned kidnapping in the kingdom of Rhodok, as a political quid pro quo was unacceptable to the king of Alfaris, so this man who had always been gentle and brave saw his wife on the battlefield - part. It is impossible to imagine what happened at that time, because there were only a handful of people who survived that battle, only that he began to slash and kill like crazy, holding a huge battle axe that came out of nowhere, whether it was bullets or explosives, magic and swords were no longer effective against him, and the battle lasted all day, until the early hours of the morning, only a figure with an axe stood in the moonlight, and nearly 10,000 soldiers from both countries were all cut to pieces.

Wanted by both countries, Karn "The Betrayer" fled all the way to the ruins. Originally, there were no towns to the west of the ruins, and the strongest war leader here was an ordinary defector warlord named "Big Fat Man" Grom, and Karn single-handedly slashed through the entire Grom base, and then sat down in a deep sleep among the rivers of blood where corpses gathered.

Gradually, this simple avenger became the leader, his legend was sung, countless "berserkers" thirsting for revenge and glorious death joined his ranks, the fanatics used brass to forge a tall throne for their gods, and the followers of Karn were fanatical about killing, and the brass throne was the smallest central city with the fewest nomads and the smallest area. Tens of thousands of berserkers roam, looking for opponents to target. As long as Karn remains, no one will insist on the authority of this crazy city. Karn sat on the throne for two hundred and sixty years, and whatever happened to him, he was certainly not human now.

To the north of the ruins, there is a large barren hill, where the second largest city, Vulture City, is the most stable regime in the ruins, which has existed since the ruins' inception. Occupying this place is the oldest bandit and thief on the continent of Venus, and the Brotherhood of Bitter Springs is the absolute master here, their war leaders are never fixed, and the strongest Brotherhood members can become their leader, the Great Khan. The latest Great Khan is Bahad, who killed his predecessor three months ago and seized power, and Bahad Khan's ascension to power is rife with bribes, backstabs and intrigue, and everyone knows about it in Vulture City.

However, no one in Vulture City cares about this, and the Brotherhood members have brought with them almost everything they have stolen or looted from the entire continent. No one is at odds with money, and everyone in Vulture City is buying or selling something. Medicine, clean water is in and out of tons and tons, ten auctions a day you can buy anything you can imagine, labor, jewelry, addictive plant extracts, even some petty official from a certain country... The only thing that is missing the magic scrolls that people are most coveted and the new weapons that are terrifyingly powerful - guns and explosives - is because they have their own masters in the ruins, two people that even the powerful and wealthy vulture gang dare not provoke.

The first is the master of magic, the exporter of more than ninety percent of the magic scrolls in the entire ruins, the Archmage of the Nine Rings, the great elemental mage "The Endless" Verznan, and his magic sacrifice group were accidentally awakened during a treasure trip to the Brotherhood of Bitter Springs, and the mage who had been sleeping for thousands of years proved with his spell that although the guns have become stronger and stronger, powerful magic is still invincible.

After countless deaths, especially after even the Great Khan of the year was directly reduced to charcoal. As an ancient remnant, Weznan's temperament was not cruel, and after solving the Great Khan that awakened him and his 666 sacrificial Great Khans, they became obsessed with the study of magic again, and in order to avoid being disturbed, they also set up powerful magical barriers around the oasis.

More and more nomads who could not stand the exploitative rule of the Brotherhood ventured into this magical barrier, and gradually a small city was established, which is now the only large city in the southern part of the ruins, "Nehekhara". Verznan rarely awakens, obsessed with strange spells, and his sacrifices rule the city. Everyone in the ruins, from War Lords to Slum Scavengers, can buy an unlimited number of spell scrolls at a starting price. The highest level can reach the Five Rings spell, which can basically blow up half of the city. There are even rumors that the Endless One, in order to prevent Karn the "Betrayer" and another war boss from making trouble for their research, personally awakened and sent away two hand-made Nine Ring Spell Scrolls, of course, the credibility is unknown, after all, none of the three can answer these privacy questions head-on.

The last one is the legend of the entire ruins, a rising star, the only dangerous zone where the entire ruins border with the Rhodoc Empire, the eastern ruins of the "Immortal City".

The area where the Undead City is located was originally known as the "Junkyard Dump", which is actually where the name of the ruins comes from. Countless mechanical components were piled up into a long mountain range, and the degree of decay was not serious, but the blackened broken holes in the armor plates indicated that the civilization of the previous season probably died here a long time ago, and the entire scrap iron mountain range was made up of fragments of various war weapons.

"Immortal Old Joe", his real name is unknown, and his age is unknown, when he came to the ruins fifty years ago, he was an old man who breathed in delicate ivory, and he still is.

The only piece of information worth paying attention to is that Old Joe came here with thousands of heavily armed "war boys", they were crazy, a large number of bullets and gunpowder were directly tied to their bodies, and they walked to the battlefield on foot, and when they ran out of bullets, they charged fearlessly, and turned into fireworks with the mine explosives on their bodies and the enemy. In just three months, the mighty Joe completely snatched the entire Undead City from the Brotherhood and began to establish what is now the Bullet Farm, selling advanced guns and explosives in large quantities to the entire chaotic wasteland, but at an extremely high price.

Old Joe is not a rigid person, he has a good relationship with many kingdoms on the entire continent. He had two million scavengers and bullet farm workers under him, who were the eyes and ears of Old Joe, and every nobleman and knight who had fled from the kingdom would be detained in the undead city and then sold back to the rulers of various countries at a decent price.

Fifty years have passed, and Lao Qiao is still alive, or still alive, and because he occupies the ancient battlefield "Immortal City", people gave him the name "Immortal Old Joe"!
