"Livestock in captivity?"

Angel's statement was very uncomfortable, and Chen Yin couldn't help frowning deeply. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Why do you think there is such a thing as a millennium war in the world?" Angel looked at Chen Yin with a serious expression.

“…… Fighting for living space? Chen Yin replied cautiously.

"In a sense, you're right." Angel's expression was serene and calm, but Chen Yin always felt that there was an undercurrent under the calm.

"The planet under our feet is alive."

As soon as Angel's words came out, the whole hut fell silent, except for the faint sound of breathing.

Heavy rain poured on the roof of the straw hut.

A drop of cold water condensed on the straw stick, and when it accumulated enough strength, it broke free from the straw stick's restraint on it, dripped from the roof of the shed, and just fell into Chen Yin's neck. The icy touch made him shiver with excitement.

Angel looked at the gloomy and oppressive sky outside, and his tone was cold without a trace of emotion: "Every thousand years it will wake up, hungry to prey on any soul it can catch, and the gray mist creatures are its claws and teeth. And humans, gray orcs, and all creatures on our side are the food of this planet. ”

"Then why don't you resist? As long as you unite with the gray orcs, you will definitely be able to hold it, right? Chen Yin finally woke up from the cold and cruel news.

"Solidarity ......," Angel smiled wryly, "When we came here, the Grey Orcs didn't know how long they had been living with this planet, and they had developed their own patterns of behavior. Besides, how do you think these rich plains occupied by mankind came to be? ”

"Come here......" Chen Yin smacked his lips, the amount of information contained in these four words seemed to be a bit large.

"It's like you're here." Angel said softly, obviously she was also concerned about Chen Yin's concealment of her origin, but since it had come to this point, Chen Yin would be able to guess what happened next.

It turns out that humans are not the indigenous inhabitants of this planet, and when they arrived here, the first thing they found was those gray orcs who were still in the primitive slave era and were extremely unproductive. What happens when a higher civilization covets the land of a lower civilization, history has already told us with bloody records.

"Then, you invaded the Grey Orcs." When Chen Yin said this, he always felt a little ironic.

"That's right. That's a disgraceful history. But that's the truth, and we're the dishonorable aggressors. Angel didn't see any expression on his face.

"No wonder that totem warrior said that I am an invader...... Chen Yin suddenly remembered the gray orc who died in his own hands.

"Initially, the Grey Orcs suffered heavy casualties, and we used our stockpiled high-tech weapons to destroy the Grey Orc city, occupy most of the plains, and drive the Grey Orcs to the barren Orc Plateau and the Dead Sea Desert, where they began to thrive on this planet with peace of mind, but twenty years later...... The planet has awakened. ”

"The large number of souls brought by the dead gray orcs seems to activate this planet, a large amount of gray fog has been released, and the area of the gray fog forest has also expanded rapidly, if the gray fog spreads to the whole world, then it will be the end of all life."

"When we ran out of high-tech weapons and still couldn't stop the spread of the gray fog until we ......," Angel's expression became gloomy, like the weather outside.

"And then?" Chen Yin asked.

“…… No matter how hard we tried, we couldn't resist the power of the gray fog, until we lost more than 80% of the population, and the gray fog subsided on its own. ”

Angel's words made Chen Yin feel very strange: "It fades on its own!? Isn't there something wrong? ”

"At the time, we also thought that the gray fog had run out of strength, and the gray fog showed no signs of rioting again for a long time. But just when many scholars thought that the agitation of the gray fog had completely subsided, the first millennium had arrived. ”

"Grey Mist is rioting again?" Chen Yin frowned.

"Yes, and this time again, we were unable to resist the invasion of the gray fog after we exhausted all means, until the death toll exceeded 80%, and the gray fog dissipated on its own again."

After hearing this, Chen Yin shivered excitedly.

Is this thing alive? Is it keeping humans in captivity?

"After the first millennium, the Grey Orcs have been hiding on the Orc Plateau for a thousand years to recuperate, and they have the means to slow down the spread of the Grey Mist. And we suffered heavy losses in the two gray fog disasters, and the high-tech troops and high-tech weapons were greatly consumed, and our strength actually dropped to almost the same as the gray orcs. ”

"And most importantly, there is no element on this planet that can be used to make high-tech weapons......"

"Some kind of radioactive element?" Chen Yin's heart moved.

“…… Yes. Angel looked at Chen Yin in surprise, obviously not expecting this word to pop out of Chen Yin's mouth.

The sad humans, after happily abusing the gray orcs, were slaughtered twice in a row, and the nuclear bombs in the inventory were exhausted again, and they were forcibly pulled back to the same level of force as the gray orcs, which was so sad that people didn't know what to say.

"After countless millennia, we have gradually figured out the law of the gray mist: it will only devour about 70% of the total number of souls on this planet, and when a thousand years of reincarnation opens, even if it is not killed by the gray mist creatures, it will be counted in the total."

"Oh...... I finally got it. Chen Yin was like a puppet with a broken string, lying on the ground weakly, staring blankly at the dark clouds outside.

"The Millennium War...... So that's it! You kill each other's civilians, then use the number of civilians to make up 70% of the total number of souls, and wait for the gray fog to clear on its own...... Hehe, haha...... It's ironic. ”

"No, they're not civilians." Lancelot suddenly interjected, "The Holy Light Church has been collecting materials and preparing to completely defeat the gray fog after gaining insight into the characteristics of the gray mist. But the long time in the mobile phone supplies can only be delayed in this way. ”

"The great alchemists used the skin of the original people - that is, those who just arrived on this planet to create a large number of alchemy humans, that is, the civilians in your mouth, after mixing with the original people, the alchemy humans will also give birth to new souls, but the lifespan is much shorter than the original people, only about 70 years of life......"

"Your Excellency, the people you have seen in the imperial capital are basically the descendants of alchemy humans. They are born to be consumed. Lancelot's explanation made Chen Yin cold.

"But they're all flesh-and-blood humans!" Chen Yin's face was full of incredulity, "What about you?" They should all be superior primitives, right? ”

"The Holy Maiden is a pure primordial bloodline, and I am a descendant of an alchemy human, but after becoming a paladin, my primordial bloodline was strengthened through the blessing ceremony, so in a sense, I am more like the primordial." Lancelot introduced without any fuss.

"The original people, hehe, what an ancient name." Aunt Jiya patted Uncle Tim's hand and said, "But then again, the two of us used to be children of civilian families, and of course we also passed the blessing ceremony. ”

"So dad is also a primordial?"

"That's right, uh...... So is the prophet you seek. Lancelot said.

"Prophet...... Why are you looking for him? Chen Yin's stomach was full of questions, so he asked first when he remembered something.

Angel shrugged: "Then I have to continue what I just said......"

"As we become more and more prepared, it seems that this planet has also sensed our intentions, so in the last Millennium War, the attack of the Gray Mist began to tilt towards our human side, causing us to lose a large number of civilians, and several high-ranking people with original human blood were also killed in battle."

"It was just after that millennial war that our then Pope made a prophecy that the next millennium war would be the end of humanity. With the exception of a small number of people, most of the church's top brass scoffed at this prophecy. ”

"Therefore, His Majesty the Pope gave up his position and searched for the relics of various places alone......"

"If it's a relic for you, it's a man-made gray beast?" Chen Yin said strangely, "You actually went to find the ruins of the gray orcs?" None of them are your opponents when they are at their strongest, so what is the best solution to your predicament? ”

"Your problem is also the problem of most of the senior people. But in fact, those ruins are not from the ancient Grey Orcs, but from another, more powerful and advanced civilization. ”

"What! Was there a civilization on this planet before the Grey Orcs? So, the gray orcs aren't outsiders either!? They wiped out the native civilization, right? ”

Angel shook his head: "No, the prehistoric civilization is more powerful than the gray orcs, even stronger than the church in its heyday, but for some reason, the people who made the prehistoric civilization left ......"

"Left!?" Chen Yin was shocked, "How did you leave!?" ”

"That's why His Majesty the Sage is looking for those ruins, apparently he succeeded, but he also failed."

"How?"

"He managed to get out of here, but he only took himself. So, I want to complete His Majesty's unfinished mission. When she said this, the silver-haired girl's gaze was soft and firm. Chen Yin could see from her eyes that completing the unfinished mission was the pillar and faith that supported her to continue to move forward.

"Okay." Chen Yin was silent for a long time, and lay down with his head in his hands.

"Anyway, if only I could copy the Prophet...... Your Majesty's success, I will be able to go back, right? ”

Chen Yin's voice suddenly sounded.

"Maybe."

“……”

The storm did not stop at all, the raindrops crackled and fell to the ground, and some low-lying places had begun to develop in the direction of the pond.

Fortunately, Chen Yin and the others chose this place with relatively high terrain, and there is an impermeable stone ground under their feet. Otherwise, even if it is not rained, it will stink when soaked in stagnant water.

A bolt of lightning struck, illuminating the dark earth.

After a long time, the rumbling thunder slowly passed by.

Everyone under the straw hut seemed to have lost their interest in chatting, and everyone had a worried expression on their faces.

Can the prophet's words be trusted?

Could it be that this millennium war is the end of mankind?

With countless questions, I slowly fell asleep.

……

The next afternoon.

The storm stopped as abruptly as it appeared.

A few minutes after the rain stopped, the sky cleared. After a wet night, the warm sun brightened everyone's mood.

After Chen Yin and the others had a hot lunch on the fire, they embarked on an unknown journey again.

It seems that due to the loss of many totem warriors last time, Chen Yin and the others have never seen any orcs on this journey deep into the orc plateau, and they can't even find signs of orcs.

There were no footprints, no feces, no recognizable traces.

In addition to rejoicing, Chen Yin and the others were also a little uneasy.

Where did those orcs go?

No one can answer their question except to move on.

After advancing for another two days, Chen Yin and his party turned a corner at the foot of a huge snow-capped mountain and began to move away from the Orc Plateau, and it took them half a day to reach their destination: the junction of the Orc Plateau and the Gray Mist Forest.

When Chen Yin and the others turned to the foot of the mountain, the gray mist forest on the horizon was already within reach. But no one had paid attention to the gray mist forest in the distance, but looked at the dense layers of bones in front of them in amazement.

Countless large, small, able-bodied, and disabled corpses knelt on the ground densely, and the miserable white bones took a very reverent posture and bowed in the direction of the gray mist forest. And beneath them are even older bones.

It's a forest of bones.

"This!?" Chen Yin looked at the shocking scene in front of him and was speechless.

"Remember when I said that the orcs and the gray mist have formed a symbiosis?" Angel pointed to the Bone Wilderness, where he couldn't see his head to the left and right, and said, "That's the answer." At the expense of lifespan, the Grey Orcs increased the reproduction ability of the race. And the consequence of overbreeding is that the competition for survival is cruel and fierce. ”

"Most of them here are middle-aged and elderly people who have lost their ability to fight, and there are also children and adolescents with congenital diseases. Every year, the eliminated of the Grey Orcs gather and hike to the border with the Grey Mist Forest, where they kneel in worship until they die. ”

"And it is precisely because of the sacrifices of these people that the gray mist did not spread to the orc plateau. Prior to our arrival, the symbiosis between the Grey Orcs and the Grey Mist had been like this, and at that time there had never been a once-in-a-millennial Grey Mist Riot. ”

“…… That's a ......."

A civilization struggling to survive, the sacrifice of the individual and the continuation of the race...... Looking at those pious corpses, Chen Yin was so shocked that he couldn't say a complete sentence.

"Reproduction, survival, continuation...... The cycle of life is the fate of all of us. Angel sighed.

"Don't waste time, let's go." Chen Yin exhaled turbid breath fiercely, slapped the little donkey's buttocks, and took the lead into the bone wilderness.
