Chapter 70: Antecedents and Consequences (2)
Angelo said a lot of words one after another, and the doubts in Levi's heart were resolved. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It turns out that this land full of ruins really has a very splendid history.
The previous civilization here dates back to the beginning of the Tertiary period.
About 6,000 years ago, when mankind stepped into the historical tide of the main continent for the second time, many ancestors passed through the Silver Corridor and Youlong Canyon, crossed the mountains and reached this vast and rich land.
After nearly a thousand years of reclamation, a glorious kingdom was founded, and it was the Kingdom of North Galan. The territory under its jurisdiction includes the vast hills represented by the Pagasus Highlands, the large plains near the mountains in the southwest, the corridor area that extends nearly thousands of miles inward in the Youlong Canyon, and the Thunder Coast in the north, which is like summer all year round. It is bounded by the Mangcang Mountains in the east, the vast wasteland of ten thousand demons in the southwest, and the Sea of Yasiburn in the north.
The Kingdom of North Galan lasted for more than 3,000 years, and it was not until the end of the Tertiary Period that it was completely wiped out by the Cankus Empire.
Like most of the Old Kingdom of the Tertiary Period, Kancus had no habit of preserving history, and its existence was worn out by the long years, and now only ruins remain.
As its inheritors, the Northern Galans have also lost their civilization, and most of them have become blood-drinking barbarians.
The history of this kind of community originated 4,000 years ago.
At that time, the Kingdom of North Galand was in a period of decline. Years of war have left the country in desperate need of strong force. So a certain king, blinded by his own ambitions, embarked on a special plan.
They capture all kinds of human races and imprison them in dark cages. But not to enslave them, but to use them as expendables of war. The people of Northern Galans invented a special method. They combine multiple drugs to implant the flesh of powerful creatures into the bodies of humanoid races, transforming them into bloodthirsty monsters. But this action led to their destruction. Because they hunted a large number of dragons. This annoyed a powerful ancient dragon, the Pale Dragon King Adonis, the destroyer of Pagathos. The Pale Dragon King's Peak, adjacent to the mountain pass, is said to have built his dragon's nest.
Adonis stole the research of the Garans in reverse and improved it with his own dragon blood. He then rescued a large number of humanoid races, giving this new power. Thanks to his efforts, the Kingdom of North Garan has made matters worse. When the capital city of Pagasus was also destroyed by Adonis, North Galan eventually split into three small states, which were annexed by its erstwhile rival, the Cancus Empire. And so the great kingdom perished.
More tragic things are yet to come.
In the Quaternary Age, the two invasions of the Demon Legion made North Garland a battlefield. The protracted war, combined with the increasingly fierce wilderness environment, eventually destroyed the place. The once prosperous town has been reduced to large areas of ruins. For the next two or three thousand years, it was rarely touched and seemed to have been completely forgotten.
Then hundreds of years ago, the ancestors of the Levi family brought a new human civilization. They have grown rapidly over the centuries and have bred nearly a million people.
And inspired by them, or threatened, many humanoid races also began the process of civilization. The first reformer, a great gnoll, is known here as the Dawn Light.
The kingdom of the Maned Weolls was established one hundred and fifty years ago and has now stretched for seven or eight generations.
In addition to them, the Giant Tribe, the Wild Demon Tribe, and the Dwarven Tribe all intend to establish a nation and develop their own trade. The dragon rat people stood out in this tide and established the largest underground chamber of commerce here. By trafficking food from Greystone City, he became a guest of honor for all parties.
"And what about the fallen ones in your mouth?"
As soon as he heard the words "degenerate", Angelo suddenly became excited, "They are enemies, real enemies! They are the remnants of the demons left here, the enemies of all our humanoids!"
"Demons?!" Levi was surprised, "Actually related to them?"
He could understand the meaning of the word demon, and the most powerful kingdom in the history of mankind, the Cankus Empire, was destroyed at the hands of this group of alien invaders.
If we talk about the history of the First Age, it is the dawn of ancient mankind. The second age is the war of the gods, and the third age is the history of the conquest of ancient empires. The Quaternary, on the other hand, is completely occupied by two demonic invasions.
"They are indeed the remnants of demons. These demons inhabited by Pagasus are constantly invading our humanoid tribe for slavery and sacrificial sacrifice. These abominable degenerates are the most terrible and shameless bandits here. Their population is second only to you humans, and it will take us tribes to unite to resist them. Angelo gritted his teeth, "It is because of them that we have to make a choice this winter." I don't know how they managed to turn a giant clawed anteater into the size of a mountain. And then that damn monster invaded everywhere, and we couldn't defend against it!"
"Giant Claw - Giant Claw Anteater. Levi's ears became more sensitive, and he couldn't wait to ask, "When it gets bigger, will it be able to invalidate the arcane?"
"How do you know, Count Levi?" said Angelo, surprised, and then even more indignant, "It's because this monster has such strange abilities that we can't resist it. Nor is the Fallen its opponent. Pagasos, where they lived, had become its new place of rage, and it was really shooting itself in the foot......"
"This guy wasn't made by the degenerates. Levi's expression was strange, and he was sure that his original fears had come true. Anteaters, once deified, do invade towns. Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, "Those two women, what's going on." Listening to the woman in white, it seems that there are more than two of them?"
"You said the silver wolf god made them. Yes, there are more than two of them. Since the invasion of the behemoths, three of their companions have come to us one after another. Although Angelo was surprised by Levi's previous sentence, he still answered the next question first, "They all have the ability to transform, and they are very powerful. After arriving, he also showed his might, repelling many attacks from the Behemoths and the Fallen. We recognized their status as oracles, but we didn't expect to lure the wolf into the house. In particular, she underestimated the Silver Wolf Divine Envoy, who had already defeated Arrin and become the new ruler in just two months of winter. I heard that they also defeated the Wild Demon Tribe and the Giant Tribe and established the Asis Kingdom. ”
He paused, "This woman's plans are very big. When she took power, she had already revealed her ambitions to invade your side. With the help of the ability of the Dragon Divine Envoy, she knows that your side is weak, so she wants to attack this side. He also made a message to expel your family and turn all the millions of humans here into slavery. This plan started half a month ago. ”
Levi: "......"
The lord was speechless, he really wanted to find a wall and crash into it. The other party has only been resurrected for two or three months, and he already has the ambition to dominate the world. And he wasted half a year.
"Are they so powerful?" Levi asked the question he was most concerned about, "How do they compare to me?"
"As far as I can see, I think you're vulnerable to them. Angelo sighed, "Although we always say in private that you humans are terrible and like to enslave others. In fact, compared to you, we are like the kind of people we say we are. Count Levi, your people are in the millions, but the number of people in actual arms is only 5,000. This is enough to show that your family and your people are people who truly yearn for peace. But this kind of military power is not worth mentioning on our side. The kingdom of the maned werewolves has nearly 10,000 troops. There are five or six tribes of wild demons, and although the most powerful tribe has a population of only five thousand, they are three meters tall, and even children are very terrifying. Not to mention the Fire Giants, who are the uncrowned kings here. One more thing I want to tell you is that many of the humans on our side have the blood of the Holy Dragon, have the ability to transform into dragons, and also raise a large number of dragon beasts. ”
"You're not kidding?" Levi was dumbfounded, "If you're so powerful, why are you afraid of me?"
"Because I don't want the olive branch to slip out of your human hands. Angelo famously said, "We are not stupid and know the consequences of going to war with you." Even if we continue to win at first, only butcher's knives will await us. Behind you is the mighty kingdom of Edo, with hundreds of millions of people. Even if we don't rely on its strength, we are no match for you if the war becomes protracted and you continue to build up your forces. You only have 5,000 troops, so to speak, because you only want to have so much. And the maned werewolves of Arrlin, with an army of nearly 10,000 people, can only have so many. The entire Maned Werewolf Kingdom is only 70,000 people. Therefore, even the fallen do not want to offend you, even if they covet you for a long time. ”
"In that case, why are you suddenly going to hit me again, aren't you afraid that I'll get mad?" Levi was very depressed, "Could it be that the woman is big-chested and self-righteous ......?"
"Not because of that. Angelo sighed, "Some time ago, we came into contact with a special person, she has the ability to transform into a dragon, and may also be a companion of the Silver Wolf Divine Envoy. She tells us that you seem to have many contradictions with the Kingdom of Edo. Even if they go to war with you, they won't help you. And, you seriously injured an important person, whose family swore revenge on you. If we do what they want, we can also count on their support. The idea that even the Fallen want to intervene......"
