"Why has our Shu Kingdom been very passive? Because we believe in peace? Or is it because our Shu Kingdom is too weak? Not ......"

In Wang Yao's gaze, Zhuge Liang's cyan eyes were full of light.

"It's just that the land under our feet is barren!"

Wang Yao's shoulders trembled slightly, this answer was unexpected, and he couldn't help but subconsciously ask: "Wait, what's the matter with this land?" ”

Zhuge Liang raised his head, like a dying old man, unable to look up at the beam at the top of the tent: "War is not fought casually, the side that takes the initiative to start the war often needs to pay a great price, that is, it consumes a huge amount of energy in order to open the dimensional passage connecting the canyon battlefield." ”

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liangfu looked at Wang Yao again: "You have been to the canyon battlefield, but do you know where the canyon battlefield is?" ”

Under Wang Yao's incomprehensible gaze, Zhuge Liang raised a finger with a strange expression, and pointed to the top of his head lightly: "It's suspended in mid-air." ”

"Isn't that a bit of?"

"Believe it or not, it's a fact I've seen with my own eyes. In the sky above this King Continent, there are two canyon battlefields suspended, one is called the Eastern Canyon, and the other is above us, which is the Western Canyon. ”

After a pause, Zhuge Liang continued: "For many years, I have been committed to studying various ancient documents, according to vague records, in the past, in order to avoid the dangerous demon seed area, a certain superintelligent body created two canyons in the east and west, and its original purpose was to serve as a transit station for the teleportation matrix, so that people at that time could safely cross the demon seed area for international exchanges. ”

Speaking of this, Zhuge Liang sighed slightly: "But with the change of time, the canyon battlefield was gradually seized by the later heroes, and today, it has become a tool for those ambitious overlords to wantonly launch a war of aggression, as long as enough energy is consumed, you can connect your own teleportation matrix to the canyon battlefield, and at the same time open the dimensional passage to the enemy, and in order to resist the invasion, there is this canyon war that lasts for thousands of years." ”

Wang Yao brushed aside Zhuge Liang's statement, and after roughly understanding the origin and use of the canyon battlefield, he asked: "You said so much, what does it have to do with the land under our feet?" ”

"Because the energy required to open the canyon battlefield is the lifespan of the earth, that is, the energy crystal set inside the defense tower!"

Zhuge Liang suddenly smiled, but it was the kind of creepy and cold smile.

"The so-called energy crystal, in fact, is extracted from the land under our feet of the energy collection, is not only the essence of the earth, but also the source of life, this energy collection, one can be used for our heroes, the second can provide almost infinite powerful firepower for the defense tower, the third can be used to open the passage of the canyon battlefield, is a non-renewable resource that is countless times more precious than gold......

Hearing this, Wang Yao's face suddenly turned pale: "Non-renewable? ”

"That's right." Although Zhuge Liang was slightly surprised at why Wang Yao was able to understand the term 'non-renewable' seen in ancient documents, he didn't ask too much, because it didn't matter.

"The energy crystal is the source of life, blindly extracting and consuming without restraint is equivalent to depriving the earth of its lifespan in disguise, once the energy is exhausted, the land under our feet will also die, and finally completely desertified, unable to survive......"

Wang Yao was silent.

Zhuge Liang's description of painting and color, he can understand it very well, because in the 21st century, such a world-wide problem also exists nakedly.

"Now you know why the towers that stand in the canyon are so important, right? Why does the war never stop? The problem is on these non-renewable energy crystals, our heroes need it, and the land under our feet needs it even more, the seemingly meaningless canyon war is actually the enemy and the enemy are taking each other's survival space, the strong survive, the weak annihilate, and the survival of the fittest...... Looking at the map of the King Continent, do you know how many glorious civilizations are hidden under the desert that covers two-thirds of the area? ”

Zhuge Liang leaned weakly on the back of the chair, and in the dark, he seemed to be pressed by this cruel law of survival.

"For so many years, the war has not ended, the land under the feet of the devastation of the war, the energy content has long been thin, Shu can no longer afford to take the initiative to start a war, so can only passively accept, because the side of the war, the need to consume very few energy crystals, but even so, in recent times, I can still clearly feel that the earth is gradually drying up......"

As he spoke, Zhuge Liang stopped, and there was an extremely obvious worry on his haggard face.

Wang Yao was dumbfounded, he didn't know why, he suddenly remembered that when he went to the market this morning, the price of ingredients and vegetables skyrocketed, perhaps, the price of vegetables rose not without reason......

Thinking of this, Wang Yao asked, "Why don't the little soldiers know about these things?" Why don't you make things public and let the minions fight for survival, wouldn't it be more ......"

"You're too idealistic!" Zhuge Liang resolutely interrupted: "Do you think that this alone can infinitely enhance the fighting spirit of the small soldiers? No, if they don't have enough vision, they will only fear and question, fear that the lifespan of the earth can be extracted, and question why the heroes consume the energy crystals they rely on for survival, and at that time, not only the chaos of order, everything will become uncontrollable......"

"Huh." Wang Yao suddenly sneered: "In the final analysis, it's not that your heroes are selfish and deliberately conceal the facts in order to shirk responsibility......"

When everything cleared up, Wang Yao thought of Jixia, the place where heroes need to hold the snatched energy crystals in order to provide upgrades, what do the rulers there want to do when they collect energy crystals?

Therefore, Wang Yaocai sneered.

In the face of Wang Yao's ridicule, Zhuge Liang remained silent, just haggard and said lightly: "Believe me, this world is not as dark as you believe, many methods that seem to be on the table, in fact, most of them have unspeakable hardships, you are just too young to know what we will face in the future......

At this moment, Zhuge Liang seemed to have become old in an instant, the essence in his cyan eyes began to fade, and at the same time, his breathing slowly became rapid, as if he was enduring some heartache.

However, in Wang Yao's view, Zhuge Liang's rhetoric was vague and ambiguous, not so much to clarify his position, but rather an excuse for sophistry, and he snorted extremely unconvinced at the moment.

But Zhuge Liang seemed to expect that Wang Yao would definitely be unconvinced, so he took the lead in interrupting: "Okay, meaningless arguments are just a waste of time, you can step down." ”

As he spoke, Zhuge Liang waved his hand weakly, and at the same time kept kneading his temples with his fingers, as if he was not worried that Wang Yao would publicize the matter.

Wang Yao was still standing in place.

"Anything else?" Zhuge Liang supported his forehead with the palm of his hand, and a weak voice came from his lowered face.

"You've just arranged for a hero to be stationed in the three-way area, but none of them seem to have a place for you?" Wang Yao asked expressionlessly.

The tent was dimly lit, and it was silent for a long time.

"I don't have to go at all."

The sound of silence sounded, Zhuge Liang slowly raised his head, and on his emaciated and pale face, the pair of cyan eyes were dull, just like the pupils of a dead person, without the slightest sense of focus.

"This battle of Shu Wei must be a draw!"

......

......

After the frightened soldiers left the tent, everything was calm again.

But the heavy wheezing sound became heavier and heavier, like a suffocating person, desperately trying to breathe, but could not breathe in oxygen.

In a place where no one noticed, the man in blue and white armor suddenly seemed to have finally reached the limit, and his upper body fell heavily on the table in front of him, completely fainting......
