Looking at Erin, Rocky blinked his big eyes and looked confused, because he really didn't know what was going on with the Forsaken.

And seeing that he didn't know about it, Monte on the side opened his mouth:

"My lord, forsaken people are our collective term for those who still live on land. ”

"What?"

Hearing Monte's words, Rocky's mouth opened wide in surprise.

Of course, he can't be blamed for this, because after all, he has traveled through time, although he already knows the world very well, but this understanding is only limited to things and things that he can come into contact with, but for some things that he has never been in contact with since the crossing, Rocky still knows very little, and this is the case with the Forsaken People.

More than a hundred years ago, people fled to the sky using Sky City to escape demons, which is something that everyone knows, but the situation at that time was far from that simple.

In fact, when the first Sky City was built and prepared to be relocated to the sky on a large scale, a considerable number of them were opposed, which was mentioned in Wensel's last words, and at the same time, the number of people that Sky City could carry was very limited, which led to many people staying on land either actively or passively in the initial stage of migration to the sky.

Later, after the number of Sky Cities increased, people really migrated, but even so, there were still a considerable number of people who were willing to stay on land and continue to resist the demons.

And this part of those who voluntarily remained on the land were the forsaken people.

The Forsaken Nation calls those who flee to the skies traitors, believing that their approach is a cowardly escape, and that they are giving up the land that has nurtured them, so the Forsaken would rather continue to fight the demons on land than flee to the skies.

This kind of disagreement made the two sides split into two camps in the early days of the Sky Age, and they were even more inextricably involved with each other, one side said that the other side was stubborn, and the other side said that one side was a coward, and in the end it was simply to the extent that water and fire were incompatible, and all contact was completely severed.

This situation continued for decades, and it was only in recent decades, especially after the start of the first counteroffensive war, that relations between the two sides eased somewhat.

Today, the two sides have become more and more in contact, such as the last mission that Rocky found, and the person who posted this mission was from land!

"I really don't know if there is such a thing......"

After listening to Monte's explanation, Rocky nodded in confusion, and couldn't help but recall the image of Wensel's magic energy left in the Lost Research Institute, and now think about it carefully, Wensel's last words did mention that he was not the only one left on the land, and there were many people who chose to stay and continue to resist demons like him.

And after knowing that there are still people living on the land, Rocky suddenly thought of another thing: since there are still people on the land, and they are still resisting demons, doesn't it mean that the land has not been completely occupied?

"No, the land has long been occupied......"

However, in the face of his question, whether it was Monte or Erin, or Lilia all shook their heads, this time it was Lilia who spoke, only to hear her then say: "Although the people who remained on the land have been resisting the demons, they have not succeeded. ”

"When Sky City was first invented, the demons probably only occupied two-thirds of the land, but at the beginning of the Sky Age, just a dozen years later, the land was completely lost, and almost all the cities were destroyed by the demons. ”

"As for now, there are only three cities left on land that are still in the hands of the people, and the reason why these three cities can be preserved is also because we have launched two counteroffensive wars in succession, otherwise there will not be a single city left on land. ”

"That's ...... so"

Lilia's explanation made Rocky take a deep breath, because from her explanation, it is not difficult to hear that the life of the people who stay on the land is not good, but it is no wonder that staying on the land means facing demons, and you have to face such terrible monsters every day, and life is strange if it is good.

As for the counteroffensive war mentioned by Lilia, Rocky has some impressions, the so-called counteroffensive war, refers to the large-scale counteroffensive war launched by the people in the sky in order to recapture the continent, all the sky cities are united together, and the war has been fought twice, which is called the first counteroffensive war and the second counteroffensive war.

The scale of these two wars is unprecedented, each war mobilized almost all the Sky Cities to participate in it, and the war was also extremely tragic, the casualties of soldiers were close to a million, and dozens of Sky Cities were destroyed in the war, including many large Sky Cities were destroyed.

But even so, the land was still in the hands of the demons, and the final result of both wars ended in failure.

These things are all in the textbook, so Rocky remembers them, but judging from what Lilia just said, although the two counteroffensive wars failed, they didn't seem to be fruitless, and the three cities on land were at least preserved because of this.

And just as Rocky thought of this, Erin said, "But don't underestimate the forsakens, they are very rich in life on land, although it is very hard. ”

"Oh? Why?"

Hearing this, Rocky was slightly stunned, obviously not understanding.

How is it possible that the people on land are rich, how can they be rich because they have to risk being killed by demons every day?

"My lord, don't forget that the land has more resources than the sky. ”

Seeing that Rocky didn't understand, Erin explained in detail: "Although the people who stay on the land live in the shadow of the demons every day, due to the abundant resources on the land, and the relationship with us has eased a lot, there are often trade exchanges between the two sides, such as the mission chosen by the adults." ”

"The goal of this mission is to help defend the mines, and if I'm not mistaken, the mines belong to the Forsaken. ”

"My lord, I don't need to say much about the value that a mine can create, right?"

Erin's explanation made Rocky mouth stumble, because it was true that as she said, the people on land were sitting on countless resources, and if these resources were sold to Sky City, wouldn't it be a lot of money!

And since the topic went around and back to the task, Rocky then asked, "In that case, do you think you will accept this mission or not?"
