The frontier of chaos, the wilderness of the four realms.

Jerami walked in a thick, nameless fog that seemed like substance, the rotten soft earth under the shabby leather boots glowed with a strange sheen, and the chaotic demons whispered creepy in the darkness— But he only stepped forward without fear, the rough man as rough and uninhibited as his garment made of beast fur, his long flaxen hair scattered unkemptly behind him, his bare skin even more tattered as antiquity, and only his black eyes were as bright as the stars from beginning to end.

"It's too quiet—" he said, puffing out a puff of smoke in the fog.

As a member of the night watch, Jerami is naturally familiar with the wilderness of the four realms, and the Great Wall of Eternal Night, as the first line of defense arranged by the ancestors to resist the invasion of darkness and chaos, has certainly played a role in separating order and chaos to a certain extent, but the Great Wall alone cannot completely resist the unspeakable things that creep in the chaos, even if the beacon of order is always bright, it will never be able to dispel the nameless fog that is like a substance.

As a result, there is a second line of defense.

Tinder.

Tinder is civilization, hope, and the embodiment of order.

The war between chaos and order began with the distant and almost unfathomable generations of the ancestors - according to legend, there is no order in this world, everything is blind and foolish nameless chaos, until the ancestors came from the light, the firm will illuminates the way forward, and the quenching sword cuts through the darkness that blocks the way - so, the fire is born from the light, the flame of order sweeps the chaos around them, and the warm light shines on everyone's heart.

So far, the flame has created civilization.

The time of order has arrived.

However, as the first generations of ancestors gradually disappeared from the earth, the power of the fire weakened by the passage of time, and in the face of the nameless chaos that was about to move, the construction of the Great Wall of Eternal Night was officially put on the agenda - this Great Wall that gathered the wisdom of the ancestors lived up to the hopes placed on it by the builders, and for tens of thousands of years for mankind to resist the waves of thousands of waves of erosion of the sea of darkness, becoming a boundary separating order and chaos.

Until the appearance of the Nameless Mist—a substantial fog that has crossed the Great Wall, corroded the once fertile land of order, engulfed the living in despair, revived the dead from the corrupt soil, and in the ambiguous zone of order and chaos, the unspeakable ogres were bred and wreaked havoc on the earth—the vast fertile fields were abandoned, tens of thousands of living beings died, and the entire human world was in chaos.

In those times, the Night Watch came into being.

Cities built around the fire protect the necessary population and arable land, warriors willing to turn into blades hunt demons in the wilderness, kings and knights gallop across the wilderness, and the minions of chaos are mercilessly swept away.

And yet—

It doesn't help at all.

Demons are like crops, cut batch after batch, kill endlessly, and get rid of them endlessly—only by sweeping away the nameless fog that invades the territory of the order, can the problem be cured—but with the death of the last ancestor, humanity has long lost its forbidden knowledge of order and chaos, and the nameless fog has become a stubborn disease that cannot be dealt with.

In this case, it is fortunate that the king who rules over all mankind has issued a supreme decree to abandon the vast wilderness, and the cities have risen from the ground relying on the fire, and the fields of the four realms have been completely abandoned, and under the transformation of the nameless mist, they have gradually become a seedbed for demons to breed, and a nail embedded in the chaos of order.

Even the fool knows that this is an evil that cannot be tolerated under any circumstances.

Of course, the person who can become a king is not a fool, but fate sometimes does not give people a chance to choose, and no matter how smart and wise a person is, all he can do at this time is to make himself appear less stupid - so there are the most elite soldiers to defend the Great Wall, and the most professional hunters to clean up demons - and that is the night watchman.

The Night's Watch is undoubtedly a noble profession to fight against Chaos, but since ancient times, they have always been regarded as the most unpopular people in the face of human civilization, and none of them are the only ones who can resist the erosion of Chaos, and the Nameless Mist corrupts not only the land, but everything in its path...... This naturally includes humans, including the night watchmen who guard the Great Wall day and night, cleaning up the demons born in the wilderness of the four realms - they are the ones who live with chaos day and night, and the night watchmen who go mad or die or even demonize every year are hundreds of them - when you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you—and nothing more.

It's a chore that almost no one wants to accept.

But it is not without people who take the initiative to undertake this drudgery - young people who yearn for blood and revenge, young people who yearn for glory and strength, middle-aged people who have no way to retreat because they have committed great sins or are hunted down by their enemies, and even elderly people who are unwilling to be lonely and willing to dedicate their afterglow - all kinds of people, with different purposes, came to the Great Wall of Eternal Night, endured endless loneliness and torture, and silently dedicated their lives in this bitter cold place.

However, Jerami is one of the few people who voluntarily accept this drudgery, but what he asks for is different from the vast majority of people, neither for blood revenge on demons, nor for power or glory, and he has not been offended or offended by any big man who cannot be offended outside, all he wants is the hearty comfort between life and death, and the refreshing feeling of wanton killing, as for the filth or glory brought by this identity, he doesn't care at all.

All he cared about was killing, killing freely and unfettered - perhaps for this reason, he was able to become the most seasoned hunter of the 36,000 Night's Watch in less than three years, able to travel unhindered through the demon-infested wilderness, gather all kinds of information about demons in the corrupt lands, and serve as the eyes and ears trusted by the Night's Watch Legion to investigate the demonic movements.

Demons are the minions of Chaos, and their movements are closely related to the changes of Chaos.

"It seems that Ulysses is right, a new tide is coming. ”

Looking at the empty field, Mickey's scarred and wrinkled face showed a rare uneasiness - even an experienced night watchman like him had no idea what the blind and stupid chaos was like beyond the Great Wall, only that it was a huge monster far beyond the size of a human being, and mortals would go crazy even if they looked at it - where the ancestors came from, and why they were able to overcome the chaos and ignite the fire of order, is still a mystery that puzzles all researchers.

Mankind's research on chaos has stopped for many years, and the Great Wall of Eternal Night is not only a line of defense against chaos, but also a huge cage - explorers who are interested in opening up the territory of chaos, no matter how much they prepare, as long as they leave the range of the lighthouse, they will lose their body in the chaos, and the whole person will melt into a terrible darkness - and it is not easy to retreat at this time, the nameless fog will confuse the five senses of those who have lost the protection of order, and make them go crazy in hysteria- For thousands of years, only a handful of lucky people have been able to make it back alive and become mad demons under the watchful eyes of the people.

Beyond the Great Wall, what will it be?

It is the sea - it is the sea of darkness, it is the sea of chaos, and people can only fill the terrible scenes outside the world with imagination according to the records left by the ancestors.

But since it is a sea, there will be fluctuations, ups and downs, and tides - for the short life of human beings, this kind of change may not be encountered once in several generations, but if the unit of measurement of time is to look at the entire human civilization, the occurrence of tides has become an inevitable - in the records of human history, the tides of the sea of blind foolishness have occurred at least nearly ten times in tens of thousands of years, and each time it has been accompanied by the fall of the king.

The king is the king of all mankind, the immortal sages, they have long been integrated with the fire, with the light of order, they are the protector of the entire civilized world, and they are the last reliance of mankind - when the dark frenzy swept the sea of chaos, the land of order ignited by the fire is like an island under the tsunami, and the wind and rain are shaking - if there is no king, there is no fire, in the previous tens of thousands of years, human beings have already died silently like dust in the eternal darkness.

And this time...... Maybe it's really time to make a choice between life and death.

Because—

The king is no longer there.

The Night's Watch frowned at the thought of the news from the royal capital—he could not believe that man could be the one who killed the king—but no matter how much he doubted and distrusted the messenger from the royal capital, he had to face the fact that the old king was dead and the new king had not yet been established.

Not everyone can be recognized by the fire, the first thing you need to have to become a king is the inheritance of the blood of the ancestors, and then go to the royal capital Prometheus to accept the trial of the flame bearer, and with their own courage and wisdom to get the approval of the primordial flame ignited by the first generation of ancestors, and finally be crowned and enthroned - there is no doubt that only the truly chosen one can break through the layers of obstacles and finally become the king of all mankind.

And this ...... It takes a process and it takes some time.

But does humanity still have time? He doesn't know, and I'm afraid no one knows—it's just that the chaos of blindness and stupidity never stops its pace because of slackness.

Time is running out.

He thought so, and then ...... The world has lost its light.

It's -

His eyes widened as he tried to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

- Because, consciousness has been swallowed up by darkness.

Before anyone could react, the tide of chaos had swallowed everything in its path.

- Dark times have come.
