Equality is only a utopian fantasy at any time, and absolute equality can never exist between intelligent beings, even if their identity is excluded, due to their own physical differences, wisdom, education or thinking gaps, will cause different forces that can be controlled by both sides.

But intelligent beings yearn for equality, even in the world with the greatest disparity in strength, when faced with the gods and Buddhas who can control all things immortally, humble beings still yearn for the same as them, even if that desire is suppressed by reason at the lowest level that even they themselves are not aware of.

Of course, if we compare with the example just now, the desire for the same does not become the desire for equality, but the desire for strength, but the so-called desire for equality does not mean the desire to be as good and strong as others, not as weak as the other party.

Such a desire is usually a normal pursuit, or it can be positively described as aggressive, but if it goes further, if you allow the desire in your heart to amplify and not carry it out, then it can be called greed. And it's often not easy to tell the difference between aggressiveness and greed, both for the judge and for the person.

"Do you want to eat those delicacies from the mountains and seas, do you want to live in the same house as those big people, do you want to stop being whipped by the tax collectors every time you collect taxes, and you have to scrape away the last money on your body?"

"I don't want to!"

The scene was very embarrassing for a while, Pang Zhi used his own thinking to persuade the group of people below, wanting to provoke their morale, but obviously for a group of guys who were just farmers before, whether it was the delicacies of the mountains and seas or the four-story villa, it was too far away and not real, far less effective than being able to save them from the destruction of the tax collectors.

"Then, follow us."

Although the scene was embarrassing, since it had been embarrassing enough before, it was not a big deal to continue now.

At this moment, the place where Pang Zhi and the four of them are located is a small village on the border of the Taros Empire, in fact, it is more accurate to say that it is a village, it is more accurate to say that it is a slave farm, obviously the society has developed to the point of capitalism, but there is a very unreasonable existence like a slave, which can only be said to be a characteristic of the other world.

In the first few years of its establishment, that is, the years when the Drifters still existed, the Talos Empire was generally not bad, using otherworldly magic, technology, and development to establish a good foundation, but after the Drifters left, they seemed to be in a predicament - the dilemma of their own development.

Although it is very simple to use existing knowledge, it is very difficult to further develop it, this is not a gap in wisdom and way of thinking, it is just a dilemma that will inevitably arise when technology develops to a certain extent, but for their abnormal development speed before, the contrast at this moment is indeed very large.

Therefore, due to the characteristics of ordinary creatures, when technology cannot be further developed, or after it is thought that technological development has reached a bottleneck, then territorial expansion or infighting has become the only pleasure.

And in the face of pioneering, especially when the empire has developed to a certain extent, and it is considered that the surrounding area is a reckless land, it is obviously not suitable to use elite troops, and it is better to use those criminals, their descendants, or some troublemakers who want to throw away.

Just as the south of the Qinling Mountains in ancient China was exploited by a group of exiled criminals, the United States was exploited by prisoners expelled from Europe. Pang Zhi: They also encountered a group of similar people, a group of genetically modified people.

The Carlos Empire declared genetic modification illegal, and forced the migration of evolutionary species, but the technology of genetic modification is actually relatively mature, in addition to the transformation of newborns into evolutionary species in the embryonic stage, there are also partial genetic modification of individuals.

Although even the former empire did not explicitly define them as crimes, only forced relocation, the latter were also treated unfairly in various parts of the empire, so after the empire's development order was issued, they were half bewitched, half forced to be sent to these wild places for exploration.

And because of their status, they were never treated equally by the Empire, and not only were the promised aid often in arrears, but when it was issued, it was often incomplete, and their taxes were no less than those handed over to others in the interior.

It can be said that all their blood and sweat are fed to the dogs.

Not to mention the worse ones.

"And, I swear, you'll get the right to procreate, you've seen what our research team is capable of, whether it's the stupid-looking man in the back, or the kind Nanami Chiaki and Miss Ilya, they've all proven to you that they're strong, and we can do it, but only if we kill those who deprive you of your rights."

"For fertility!"

This time the roar was even more intense, and they roared angrily for their genes to pass on.

Although the restrictions on strength in this world are very huge, and the protection of nodes for them is only the bottom line, so before coming to this world, Nanami Chiaki could not use metal cells and nanobots because of the different rules of the world, and switched to a semi-mechanical structure that combines flesh and machinery, as well as modified mitochondria to provide energy for themselves.

Although Ilya does not need to be physically transformed, the magic circuits simulated in this world only have a few similar enhancements, repairs, and language transformations at the bottom.

Despite this, their experience was not limited, and with Nanami Chiaki's knowledge of biology, she noticed the strangeness of the medicine in this village, which did have a calming effect, but when mixed with the pollen of the main crops in the village, it would interfere with the secretion of biological hormones here, which would inevitably lead to sterilization in the long run, and the former was also addictive.

And such symptoms were also determined after Ilya's examination, and it was precisely because of this that the people here would follow Pang Zhi and them, and kill the previous wave of tax collectors who seemed to be God's father, and planned to follow them all the time.

As for the Empire's reasons for doing this, it is impossible to speculate for the time being, it may be that they want to solve the existence of genetic modification in a seemingly peaceful way, or there may be other reasons, but it has nothing to do with them for the time being, all they need is troops.

After determining that the abilities they could use in this world were extremely limited, and the level of civilization in this world, Nanami Chiaki determined that this was not a place where they could win alone, and according to the description of the local residents, only one local army of the empire was needed to destroy them.

So, they have to unite with their locals to win, and Nanami believes that other teams will do the same if they are sensible.

After all, although it is a team battle, the goal of the mission is not to defeat the local group, but to kill the Black King, and if there is no army, you can only choose to assassinate, which is outright death.

Fortunately, this is a great era of fierce conflict, no matter what the Empire wants to exterminate the genetically modified existence, but their actions provide the best soldiers for the people of the other world who come to this world, and the war is about to ignite.
