Chapter 10 Cities
According to the confessions of Thorne and the others and the map on their bodies, Kungo and the others knew that the border city in front of them with a fifteen-meter-high wall, like a medieval earth eastern fortress city, was called Surian.
Surian is one of several border cities between Mahan and Jingta, but it is not the first strategic location, so it is a semi-militarized and semi-civilian city.
Although the war has been going on for five years, Surian has not been attacked on a large scale so far, so everything is normal in the city, except for a few more soldiers standing guard and patrolling than in the non-war years, everything seems to be normal.
Thorne and the others originally intended to be Surian, and then entered the hinterland of Mahan through this city, so all their preparations were also complete.
The group entered the city of Surian so smoothly.
There was still a sense of urgency at the gate, but when Kungo and the others crossed the street closest to the gate, the breath of life suddenly came to their faces.
"I feel like we're back in Sarando!" Anyang looked at the scene of people coming and going on the streets of Surian, and for a moment he had a feeling that he had once again entered the history of the Chosen One's dream.
The Babibak people with animal heads, the Birabo people who looked like erect praying mantises, and the Tarot people who were dwarf-dwarfed, and even the aliens who couldn't name their race.
As far as the eye can see, there are seven or eight different races on the streets. There are also a lot of mixed-race children, and they don't know how to divide them for a while.
"Now we can be sure that this place, even if it is not the original home planet, should have the most direct relationship with the empire back then." Ah Po said faintly, "So many different races live together, and depending on the situation, there is no life isolation for a long time, so naturally there is no way to do this!" ”
"Could this be another 'Sarandor City' of the Golden Empire?" Kungo asked.
Po: "I don't know about that, you know my memory bank doesn't have a lot of information about it. Amber must not know, even if his memory bank is complete, he is in the combat department! ”
"Are we going to meet the Lando here? Pure-blooded or protozoar? An Yang asked curiously.
Po was silent for a moment, thinking about it for a while, but finally he dismissed the speculation: "It's very unlikely. Both pure-bloods and native species have basically died in battle at the end of the game, or they are infected. It is obvious that there has not been any infection here, otherwise how could it have survived until now! ”
Apo's reasoning is simple. If there are pure-bloods or proto-species here, then most of them will be infected by demons here. The first priority target of the demons that year was the Landoo people, and the chances of the Lando people surviving were very low.
Ninety percent of the native species discovered by humans are in a state of death, and the rest of the achievements are insane in the midst of infection. Aside from Amber, Kungo doesn't know where a normal Lando person is alive.
Of course, the gentleman is not counted, he is also infected in a sense, and now he is also under the influence of demons.
"Regardless of whether there are really Lando people here or not, this question can be put aside, and we will treat it as if there are none. This kind of multiracial integration is also really interesting, it is easier for us to hide our identity, first go find a place to rest and ask for news! Kungo looked interested.
Friends are similar. It's so much fun to be in such a strange world all of a sudden.
The group walked down the streets and found a place to eat, like an open-air dining, ordered food with the money they had received from Thorne, sat down in the corner, and released a large number of tiny probes while the others were not looking.
These miniature probes are specially prepared for this mission, each probe is only the size of a palm, has an optical stealth effect, and although not very powerful, it is better than being able to produce it in large quantities in the storage space.
Because of their previous experience in the history of dreams, Kunwu and the others did not have any eye-catching spots in the crowd, and while they were eating, thousands of miniature probes had flown to every corner of the city, and began to understand this strange city, this strange world.
"Pretty much figured it out. The war on the continent of Minas is basically for two reasons, one is material interests, in order to compete for survival and development resources, and the other is ethnic conflict! The Jingta country is a country with 'humans' as the main member, and it is also the most exclusive country, so they are the most aggressive! ”
"Mahan is just the opposite, this is a multi-racial mixed country, the emphasis is on the equal survival of multiple races, this country is dominated by magic and steam technology, the population is not large, but the combat effectiveness should not be underestimated!"
Kungo began to explain to everyone in the Psychic Channel the messages that the probes had collected from each of the cities.
"Wait, magic? The power of the Plant-Spirit Latir? I remember that there seem to be very few races with similar powers, right? When I was in Sarandor City, I heard that such a race was already a rare race at that time, and then when I was in Haburn, I heard that they were all extinct! "Anyang found a detail that people cared about.
Kun Wu stretched out his hands: "I don't know about this, the probe can't run to ask people what magic is, right?" Anyway, let's just assume that magic really exists. Well, we have to be careful after that, in case we are shaded, it will be a shame! ”
Clearing his throat, Kun Wu continued: "The Lagu Kingdom is dominated by the Birabo tribe, that is, those insect brothers, they have the first smelting technology in the continent, and they are a country like an arsenal. Moreover, in addition to the Mahan country, the second living country of the Babibak people is in the country of Lagu. So this country has also become the most wanted ally of Mahan! ”
"Finally, there is the Tarot country, you know the name, the Tarot people are the main country, and the irascible dwarfs are more belligerent than the Babibaks, and they are very greedy. Except for a very small number of outliers living in the Mahan Kingdom, the entire clan is a war maniac, and they can be said to hit it off with the Jingta Kingdom, attacking the Mahan Kingdom from two directions. ”
"The current situation is that one-third of the territory of the Mahan Kingdom has been occupied, and the Mahan Kingdom has reached a preliminary alliance agreement with the Lagu Kingdom, and has repeatedly asked for help from the Steam Empire in the Central Continent. That's probably the case with the war! ”
Speaking of this, Kun Wu smiled mysteriously: "The information below is the most interesting!" ”
The friends cast staring eyes: "Oh? ”
