Text Chapter 25 The Battle of Karn Village

No one seemed to notice what was happening outside the village of Karn, and all the knights were immersed in the madness of the slaughter.

There are countless accounts of massacres throughout the vast history of mankind, from the Trojan Horse in mythological times to the Auschwitz concentration camp in World War II, and humans who think they are spirits have always been able to do things that are even more insane than wild beasts.

Auroboros had read sociology and knew that there were only three animals in the world that would collectively exterminate the same species: humans, chimpanzees, and wolves.

In addition, although cannibalistic animals exist in nature, these behaviors are fragmentary (e.g., male lions eating the cubs of other female lions) and are not collectively targeted by one animal group against another group of the same race.

Humans, chimpanzees and wolves all share a common trait in all three animals, which is high IQ and social behavior.

In terms of madness and cruelty to their fellow humans, horror like lions and tigers cannot be compared.

Not to mention the wolf race, at least the existence of chimpanzees has proved that before the birth of humans, the distant ancestors of humans have learned to kill each other. Therefore, the act of slaughtering one's own kind has been an indelible code engraved in the human genes millions of years ago.

In the course of millions of years of evolution, human beings have not completely gotten rid of the most primitive behavioral habits, and all people have the blood of ancient ancestors in their bones.

CHIMPANZEES, AS CLOSE RELATIVES OR DISTANT ANCESTORS OF HUMANS, OFTEN RESORT TO LETHAL VIOLENCE AND EVEN KILL MEMBERS OF THE SAME FAMILY IN ORDER TO ELIMINATE THEIR COMPETITORS IN ORDER TO GAIN AN ADVANTAGE OVER TERRITORY, JIAOX, FOOD, AND OTHER RESOURCES.

Chimpanzees vs humans, there isn't much difference between the two. In the long history of mankind, all wars that have broken out between humans are not about fighting for territory, jiaox, food, and other resources.

For example, the historical Song-Jin War was a war that broke out between the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom for the breeding object. After the end of the siege of Bianjing, the Jin State obtained a large number of female resources for its own reproduction, and the increase in female resources directly led to the rapid expansion of the population of the Jurchen nation. The size of the population directly determines the survival probability of its people in the jungle war of human beings.

CHIMPANZEE KILLING ITS OWN KIND IS AN ADAPTIVE STRATEGY THAT IS AN EVOLUTIONARILY IMPORTANT REPRODUCTIVE ADVANTAGE THAT IMPROVES ACCESS TO RESOURCES SUCH AS TERRITORY, FOOD, AND JIAOX MATES. As individuals, they have a better chance of surviving before they can reproduce and pass on their genes to their offspring.

The more powerful nations annex other peoples, they can gain more living space and resources, develop their own culture and economy, and most importantly, increase their chances of survival.

The massacre in the village of Karn is, to put it simply, an insignificant microcosm in the history of human civilization and even in the history of nature. The self-proclaimed spirit of all things kills like the most primitive beast.

Before slaughtering the village, the knights of the Slen Cult disguised as Imperial troops had slaughtered more than a dozen villages. The reason why they slaughtered these villages was not to gain land, women, and wealth, but simply to kill one man, the kingdom's strongest warrior, Gordev Sturonov.

In order to kill the invincible warrior leader of the surrounding countries, the church and a nobleman in the kingdom joined forces to deliberately kill the powerful warrior chief. As for the villagers, they are just poor meat bait to lure the warrior into the trap.

As one of the officers on this mission, Lundes did not have any aversion or objection to this mission, and the life and death of other nationals did not have much meaning in his eyes. The cries of those bitter and wailing civilians could not touch the hearts of Lundus, who was accustomed to fighting on the battlefield.

The knights in charge of the slaughter forcibly gathered the villagers in the middle of the village, driving them together like a flock of sheep. Immediately afterward, a mass murder of them began.

Humans are strange and bizarre creatures, partly because they are accustomed to treating their fellow race by means of slaughter, and partly because they are more docile than animals in the face of slaughter. At the time of slaughter, it seemed easier to slaughter hundreds of thousands of people than hundreds of thousands of pigs. Pigs will fight desperately when they die, but hundreds of thousands of people seem to be very "calm" in the face of death.

This is the characteristic of all human beings, whether Jews, Africans, Indians, Europeans, or Orientals, who are horrific in their "meekness" in the face of carnage. Throughout the history of mankind, there have been very few captives who have chosen to rebel after being captured. At most, they chose to flee, and the ability to rebel and then kill the enemy has never appeared in history.

The main reason why humans are advanced animals is that humans have a wealth of emotions, but it is this kind of emotion that makes most people lose the courage to resist.

In the final analysis, humans show a high level of calmness in the face of slaughter, mostly because it is humans who slaughter them, and the vast majority of animals suffer from other creatures.

Humans are communicative creatures, and when they are hurt, they can avoid being hurt by asking for forgiveness from others. There are even times when humans will let others go unharmed for various reasons, which is impossible to find in animals.

In fact, the relationship between the slave and the master, the captive and the captive is itself the result of communication. Talent has the right to fight, and war gives human rights. All things are born to survive by competition, people are meant to kill people, but some people want to survive, and some people want to let those who are about to be killed create wealth for themselves; So those who wanted to survive chose to become slaves or captives, while those who wanted to create wealth for themselves by those who were about to be killed became masters and kings.

All things are creatures that survive for the sake of survival, and if human beings are given hope to survive, the vast majority of people will choose to survive. And the vast majority of those who were slaughtered lived with the hope of becoming slaves, that is......

I just don't know if chimpanzees will have the same personality as humans, and when the butcher knife is on their necks, chimpanzees will not choose to be as bold as humans and not resist.

One villager was dragged out of the crowd and killed, while the villagers, driven together like a flock of sheep, crouched quietly, unable to resist the knights who were about to slaughter them.

It's not so much that they can't afford to rebel, it's that they don't know how to organize to resist. Humans are organized creatures, and when faced with difficulties, they always like to organize to fight their enemies. Without the leader of the captives to lead the group of captives in the fight together, it is simply impossible to defeat an enemy who can be tightly organized.

When Delons attacked the village, he drove the villagers into the middle of the village from all sides. After searching the house, they would douse the house with alchemy oil and burn it down to prevent anyone from hiding in the secret basement.

For those who try to hide, it is more painful to be burned to death by the flames than to kill them with a knife. The villagers who were burned by the alchemy oil could not extinguish the flames on their bodies no matter how they beat them, and they could only turn into charred corpses under the burning of the flames.

Just as the knights were fighting with all their might, a loud roar rang out from outside the village.

"What's the situation?" Lunders didn't figure out the source of the sound for a moment, but looked around blankly.

Immediately afterwards a knight pointed out of the village in fear, "Captain Derons, monster, monster, look, look there." ”

Just as Derons set his eyes in the direction his companion was pointing, a knight in armor jumped up from the sky, flew more than ten meters away, and slammed into Derons's side. Derons could clearly see that the knight's armor had been smashed and dented, and the broken organs spewed out of his mouth and splashed on the ground.

Derons was well aware that every soldier who was alerted to the Order weighed more than 180 pounds, which was equivalent to the weight of an 11th-level boxer in another world. In addition to this, his body was covered with nearly 60 pounds of armor. A knight weighing 240 pounds was easily knocked out like a piece of paper, and even he did not possess such terrifying power.

Derons turned his head away, and where the knight had been, stood a terrifying monster of a gigantic size, armed with a shield larger than his own height and a strange serpentine greatsword, standing at the entrance of the village with its own bloody mouth wide open.

Although the monster's reminder is very deterrent, there are still dozens of knights around him. Therefore, Derons was not frightened by the strength of the monster, on the contrary, he thought that he could defeat the opponent with the advantage of numbers, "Don't be afraid, everyone, all of you go up and hack it to death!" ”

Relying on their numerical superiority, dozens of soldiers rushed forward with sharp swords in their hands, trying to hack the monster to death by virtue of their numerical superiority. But soon they paid the price for their carelessness, and with just a face, the monster broke through the line of troops formed by the knights, and seven or eight knights died directly under the monster's charge.

The sheer size of the monster also means that it has heavy weight and impact, combined with its own strength. So that the impact of the monster is not inferior to that of an elephant, how many people in this world can withstand the impact of an elephant?

Immediately afterward, the killing began again. It's just that the former hunter has become the prey of the slaughter......

In just a dozen seconds, the Death Knight easily slashed a dozen soldiers. Seeing that half of the human hands died at the hands of the monster, the other soldiers were already in a state of mental breakdown. In another world, when more than 30 percent of the soldiers died in ancient wars, the entire army was already on the verge of collapse. Half of the manpower has been lost, and it is estimated that the entire army has already fled without a trace.

"Ahhhh In the line of knights, one of his companions, unable to bear the fear of death, fled from the ranks wailing.

Just as the companion had run two or three paces away, a black whirlwind swept up, and the terrifying Death Knight appeared in front of the fleeing knight. Before the knight could react, the serpentine sword in the knight's hand easily slashed his body in two. The body that had been cut in two splattered with foul-smelling blood under the effect of blood pressure, and pink internal organs splattered out of the body.
