"Now let's talk about the history of the southern continent. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Speaking of this, Atlas paused, letting everyone digest the history of the Northern Continent introduced earlier, and then she continued: "As I said before, the two continents experienced more than five hundred years of chaos earlier, and after the chaos, the Northern Continent formed eight evenly matched forces, but the Southern Continent was not like this. ”

"After five hundred years of chaos, although several relatively powerful forces have formed on the southern continent, they are completely incomparable to those eight forces in the northern continent. Moreover, these relatively powerful forces can indeed only be regarded as relatively 'powerful', in addition to them, there are also hundreds of forces of different sizes on the southern continent, and the smallest forces are even only about a hundred people. ”

"How come such a weak force has not been swallowed up?" Hearing Atlas's introduction, Dart asked with a frown.

"Because the continent is so barren." The little girl replied, "Unlike the fertile northern continent, the southern continent produces almost no resources, and the climate is extremely harsh, which leads to a serious shortage of food production. For people on the southern continent, population growth is not a good thing, but a burden, and they prefer more territory to population growth, so that they can grow more food to feed their own people. This has led to a strange phenomenon on the southern continent -- the more powerful the power, the lower the population density, for example, the force that people just said has only about 100 people, and they occupy less than 10 square kilometers of territory. Also because of the barrenness, almost all the thoughts in everyone's hearts are to survive, and they rarely think about other things, so there is basically no oppression in the same force, and the only advantage of the leadership of the force is that it can share more land than others. At the cost of taking more land, the leadership has a great responsibility to manage the day-to-day affairs of the forces, mediate the disputes of others, and take the lead in the battles with other forces. ”

Zhou Xin's face suddenly showed a look of surprise, but Atlas obviously couldn't see it at this time, she continued, "In the battles of different forces, they often only occupy each other's territory, and even prisoners are rarely captured. For the people of the other forces living above, they will either be directly expelled to other places or directly killed. Of course, those who have been driven out of their homes will either choose to attack the weaker forces in order to survive, or they will take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold to counterattack and regain their territory. As a result, there are battles all over the continent, and even the most powerful forces mentioned above have their territories changing almost every month, sometimes expanding because they have captured someone else's territory, and sometimes losing a small piece of territory because of a sneak attack. ”

"After more than six hundred years of this chaotic situation, a heroic figure has finally appeared on the southern continent."

"Heroes?" Spred's tone was a little confused.

"Yes, that man's name is Garton." The little girl nodded, "He turned out to be an ordinary person, but his experience as a child was very tragic. His grandparents died before he was born, and he starved to death because of lack of food, and Gatun's mother almost lost her life because of the difficult birth when she gave birth to him, but although she barely escaped the ghost gate, this made his mother's physical condition very poor, and there was almost no way to work, and the family could only rely on his father to farm alone to barely survive. When Garton was four years old, the force he was in was invaded by other forces, and the force he was in was not very strong, and the force that invaded was one of the several powerful forces in the Southern Continent, so it was logical that the force in Gaton lost a lot of territory, and in the end, the family could only live on only a quarter of the land before after the war. You must know that the land originally cultivated by the Garton family is not large, and it is already very difficult to maintain the family's life, and they are often hungry and full. It is obviously impossible to sustain three people with less land, and for the sake of the child's growth, Garton's mother actually only ate one meal in three days during that time, plus his mother's physical condition itself is not very good. In this way, within a few months, his mother died of starvation in front of Gaton due to chronic malnutrition. ”

Then, when Garton was more than five years old, the faction he belonged to launched a sneak attack on the previous invading force in order to regain the territory that had been robbed of it before. In the end, although the sneak attack was successful, and his forces succeeded in regaining the territory, Garton's father died on the battlefield, and the family ended up with only a five-year-old Garton. After these family upheavals, the five-year-old Garton quickly matured, but it was clear that he was still unable to live on his own, so he was placed in foster care with someone else's home. ”

"As I said before, people in the southern continent actually hate population growth the most, and the same is true for a family. Although the family was allocated more land because of the adoption, it was not enough to support one person, and the additional land was to be returned to Garton when he became an adult, so the family did not like the sudden addition. Of course, they didn't dare to say what they did to Garton, but he still received a lot of cold reception in secret. He ate the worst food, wore the clothes left over from other people's clothes, and even lived in the most dilapidated room. ”

However, according to Garton's own autobiography, it was during the years he lived in someone else's house that he had the idea of dominating the world. However, at this time, the reason why he wanted to dominate the world was very naïve, just to make there be less war between the world, so that what happened to him would not happen to other people. ”

"When he was just over six years old, Garton began to cultivate the land that was to be allocated to him in the future, and his adoptive father famously said, 'In order that in the future he will be able to support himself.'" In this way, on the day of Garton's seventh birthday, his adoptive father couldn't wait to give him a coming-of-age ceremony, and then almost rushed to get Garton out of the house. ”

After being kicked out of his adoptive father's home, Garton lived alone for an entire year, then at the age of eight he ran for the leadership of his own faction. Of course, it is naturally unlikely that a person like him who has no relatives and no reason will receive much support, and in the end, he only received ten votes. Then, at the age of nine, Garton ran in another election, but this time it was the same, this time with an even more miserable result, as he received only one vote, and the only vote he had voted for himself. Seeing that it was impossible to realize his ambitions on this path, he resolutely left this land that made him sad. ”

For more than a year, no one knew where Garton had gone, not even in his autobiography. By the time Garton reappeared, he was already the leader of a force of more than two hundred people. Although the scale of the force itself is not large, it is famous in the local area because it is the only force that is made up entirely of orphans, although everyone is orphaned for different reasons, some because of war, some because of hunger, or both, but they are all orphans. The average age of this force is very low, the oldest being ten years old Gaton, and the youngest is even four or five years old. Although they were very young, they had a lot of combat experience, and with just more than 200 people, they were able to grab a piece of ground in the gap between the three middle forces, and their own casualties were still very small. If it weren't for the living examples in front of you, it would be hard to believe that this was done by a group of people who had just grown up with some children who were not yet adults. ”

After grabbing a piece of land that was enough to live in peace, Garton took the men to live. And their way of life is not the same as other forces, after all, they are all orphans, and all of them have no home, so Garton simply gathered everyone together. The land they occupy is cultivated collectively, in addition, going out to gather resources, hunting or something is also Gatun to carry out collective allocation, what they didn't expect is that it is this difference that has accelerated the production speed of the entire force a lot, although the territory they occupy is not large, but it feeds everyone. ”

"During the time that they had settled here in Gatun, the three forces that had been robbed of their territory still attacked them from time to time, trying to reclaim the land that was rightfully theirs. However, thanks to the unity of Gatun, they repeatedly defeated the attacks of the three surrounding forces, and their territory did not decrease but increased. Unlike other powers, after capturing new territory, Garton did not choose to drive the locals out, but stayed. However, the management method follows the original set of management methods, no longer taking the family as a unit, but gathering all people, producing collectively, and distributing them in a unified manner. Of course, there are also people who do not adapt to this way of life and leave voluntarily, and Garton does not keep them, but allows these people to leave. ”

"In this situation, where there is friction with the three surrounding forces from time to time, Garton's power is slowly expanding, and there are few defeats. In the space of more than a year, Garton and his family have annexed a lot of land in the surrounding forces, becoming a medium-level power. A big part of this is because of the way he manages things differently from other forces, which allows most people to set aside a certain amount of time for training, and more importantly, they produce food that keeps everyone from going hungry, which is a great improvement. ”

"After Garton they became a medium force, the three forces around him had already declined a lot in successive battles, and in the end they did not dare to attack Garton, they could only seek development from the outside, of course, it was also difficult, but at least it was much easier than dealing with Garton. However, although the surrounding forces gave up the attack, Garton did not want to let them go at this time, and then he began to take the initiative to attack the surroundings. Under the difference in strength, it didn't take long for the three forces around to become part of the Gatun forces. ”

After annexing the three surrounding powers, Garton was not in a hurry to continue expanding, but recuperated for a while. During this time, friction with other surrounding forces was of course inevitable, but basically it was a war that the other side took the initiative to provoke, and then got Gaton's counterattack. But even so, Garton's power is still slowly expanding. ”

"After some time, after thoroughly digesting the manpower and resources of the three occupied powers, Garton once again began the path of expansion. As before, every time he occupied a certain area, he would stop and recuperate for a while. Three years later, Gatun had annexed many forces in the nearby region, becoming one of the few large forces in the southern continent. ”

"After becoming a large power, Gaton's path of expansion is even more unstoppable, and he cannot control all the territory on his own. So he began to divide the territory piece by piece to some of the more than 200 orphans who had started with him to administer it, but the way it was managed was still the same as before. In this way, with each new piece of land, he assigned a man to manage it in his own way, and the whole power under his command was expanding at an incredible rate. ”

"After occupying nearly a quarter of the southern continent, Garton established his own country, which he named 'An', presumably because he wanted everyone to live and work in peace. He did it, and although the people under Anguo's rule still live a poor life, they are obviously much better than other forces. ”

After the founding of the country, Garton can be regarded as realizing his childhood dream, but at this time, he still did not give up and continue to expand outward, because in his heart, only by completely occupying the entire continent and allowing everyone to stay away from the war can he realize his dream. Eventually, he did, and on Garton's thirty-second birthday, Angola's army defeated the last of the forces, the same one that caused him to lose his parents as a child, and unified the entire southern continent. ”

After listening to this story, Zhou Xin couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "From an unknown little person to an emperor who unified the entire continent, this is really an inspirational story." Could it be that this Anguo is the predecessor of the Eun Empire? What happened next on this continent...... ”
