Chapter 20: In the Name of the Gray Mountain
A thousand years ago, in the era of cold weapons, there was only one country in Xizhou, and it was also the largest country in the world at that time - the Toronto Empire!
The entire royal family decided to take Toronto as the surname, but also to commemorate the largest freshwater river that traverses the entire empire and has raised countless people in the country - the Duolun River!
At that time, the Inhumans could barely live in the same environment as humans, and of course, fighting, hatred, and killing were still inevitable!
It's just that because there are very few visionary individuals among humans and aliens, they are always working hard to hope that the two races can live in harmony and friendship on the same land!
That's why there has not been a situation like now, where one of the races has been silent for many years, and has been declared completely extinct by all countries!
At that time, Jiaye City was still a huge uninhabited basin full of maple trees, and the Church of Ash Mountain was the only sect in the Toronto Empire at that time - the Righteous Church!
A super-giant sect fully supported by the Toronto Empire, adhering to the teachings of light, bravery, integrity, and loyalty!
And the intensification of the contradictions between the two races is fundamentally the result of the joint catalysis of another human organization with huge ambition and money, but extremely dark, the Revival Society, and a very small number of Inhumans who are also extremely misanthropic!
Beginning 500 years ago, they worked together to form an organization called the "Peace Council" by electing a group of individuals who wanted peace from among humans and aliens.
It was established that every five years they would meet regularly to discuss and resolve the great contradictions between the two races.
In this way, the human beings, who occupy the vast majority of the three continents in the southeast and west, and the inhumans who are sparsely manned but have strong abilities, have indeed been stable for twenty or thirty years in the early stage!
The Inhumans also gradually gathered and had their own stable place to live.
Just when a group of young people of the new generation have gradually become accustomed to scaring their children with some horror stories of aliens, they find that the real disaster has just begun!
This year, the venue of the "Peace Conference" happened to be set in the valley where Jiaye City is now located. At the most critical moment of the meeting, the whole valley turned into a huge ruin with a loud "boom!"
After the walls of the mountain shattered violently under the violent impact, the prototype of the gray mountain was born! I don't know if it was caused by the violent explosion formed by the gray mountain, or some coincidental reason.
Less obvious eddies gradually developed along the coast of Wanghai Village, located due south of the coastline, and a huge submarine whirlpool formed over the next 100 years. When this miraculous whirlpool disappeared, a deep sea harbor with a radius of ten miles appeared so suddenly!
As for the two races, although there was some undercurrent, the fig leaf that was peaceful on the surface was completely torn apart!
Prior to this, it was due to the fact that the Revival Society was constantly operating in front of all the national leaders of Toronto and the Southeast. So all human nations in the world know a reason why they must go to war or even slaughter with Inhumans!
Kill any Inhuman, whether mature or not, as long as they can transform. After three days, an ore called "Obsidian" will appear in the ground or in the water where the Inhuman's corpse is located.
It is this ore that can continue to produce a lot of heat and energy after some special processing!
And so, the slaughter and plundering at any cost began!
Thousands of Inhumans have died with butcher knives, or to the various energy weapons they have crafted from "obsidian" after their deaths!
In the following hundreds of years of killing, various targeted detection instruments and transport vehicles were also invented. During the same period, there was an individual who was able to fight alone with most mature Inhumans - the Beast Hunters.
A hundred years before the Inhumans were on the verge of extinction, humans invented a solar panel that used the sun to charge obsidian.
Aside from the disadvantage of being extremely slow to recharge, there is hardly any decay reaction, and some people have even come up with the term endless energy!
Unfortunately, the stability of the energy in obsidian is not strong, and every time the energy is released for a short time, there must be a very short cooldown time. Moreover, the crystals are very fragile, so there are hardly any bursts of energy weapons generated!
In this case, cold weapon melee combat has become a helpless but indispensable part of any medium or higher battle!
As for those inhumans who have difficulty controlling their emotions for the most part, they will not be killed like fools when they are threatened with death. In the continuous resistance and fighting, they used their strange abilities to bring many countries to ruin, or to the brink of imminent destruction!
Under this madness, there is no longer a chance for reconciliation between the two races.
Through some of his own means, the stranger learns that the culprit who caused his race to be in danger is the organization that calls itself the "Renaissance", and he launches all kinds of suicidal revenge against him.
It is in this almost completely reckless slaughter, revolt and extreme revenge of the race struggle. About thirty to forty years ago, the Revival and the last Inhuman activity disappeared completely!
And the human race even kept the beast hunting team that had fought against the Inhumans for hundreds of years until ten years ago, and then disbanded the organization one after another!
After all, the source of obsidian has been cut off due to the disappearance of the Inhumans, and the reserves held by each country are not very large. If you always maintain a beast hunter team that can't even use half of its strength, but needs to spend a lot of obsidian to maintain basic operation, it is clearly a waste of civilian resources!
Toronto, which was originally the largest empire, was split into the Maple Leaf Country, which is now located in the central and western part of the West Continent, around the northeast of the Maple Leaf Country and the mysterious North Continent, the largest country in the West Continent - North Sanke
As for the southern part of the Western Continent, it is now occupied by eleven free city-states that are united but not subordinate to each other.
Under the misunderstanding between the two races created by the Revival Society, the Gray Mountain Church became the main force in the West Continent to confront and massacre the Inhumans.
History calls this religiously dominated war "fanatical jihad"!
Although the fanatical and firm faith has a serious suspicion of being used as a human gun, it is undeniable that they have always been under the control of humans for the entire Western Continent, and played an almost decisive role in the subsequent extermination of the Inhumans!
It's just that in the end, under the combined effect of hundreds of years of war and the scientific and technological progress of several divided countries, only this Jiaye City is left to commemorate the centennial "holy war"!
Gently closing the book, I once again reminisce about the teachings of the Gray Mountain at the end of the title page: "Loyalty, Bravery, Integrity, Kindness, Fraternity, Knowledge" and so on.
Although it is only a brief reading of some table of contents and the introduction of the whole book, it is full of things worth savoring and pondering!
Now Xiao Ma Shuo may just regard these as a wonderful historical story, but when he is older than this age and experience, he smells an unusually thick bloody gas and screams between the lines!
"Step, step, step!" Steady and relaxed footsteps sounded, Clark came to the house in a blink of an eye, and said to Lao Yu and the two with a smile: "Dinner is ready, please come with me to eat first, and then go to the training ground for a competition later!"
