Chapter 25: The Descendants of the Gantts

"I thought the ogre was a creature similar to an orc...... Mo Mingke remembered the game he had played when he was a student, and in his impression, the "ogre" was a creature with a body as high as two or three meters, an ugly appearance, a big belly, holding a big stick, and looking stupid.

"Ogre was a human being. Rozan said.

Mo Mingke was puzzled: "Predecessor? What does this mean?"

"Why, don't you know?" Luo Zan also looked surprised when he saw Mo Mingke ask such a question, and he said, "The predecessor of the ogre was the Gantt people. ā€

Mo Mingke had heard this word more than once, but he never understood what it was about, so in order not to make Rozan suspicious, he said: "I have been living in the outer land before, so I don't know much about the history of the human world. ā€

"You'll find out later. Rozan said, "The important thing now is to wake everyone up first, the ogre will most likely turn back at any time to attack." ā€

Eventually, it took them a long time to wake everyone from their slumber.

"What's going on? It's not dawn yet!" said Mr. Hayabusa, grumbling as he was disturbed from his dream.

"The ogre attacked us. Rozan said briefly.

Soon everyone saw the corpse on the ground that was split in two, and they were all shocked. Mr. Hayabusa Frye lost his face and said, "Why don't I have any consciousness at all?"

Rozan speculated: "There must be a sleepy fruit tree in the vicinity of this place, which releases an anesthetic aroma at certain times of the night." Smelling this aroma will not affect a person who is awake, but if they are asleep, they will fall into a deep sleep and it will be difficult to wake up. ā€

Mo Mingke suddenly realized: "So that's the case, no wonder I smelled a fragrance last night...... Fortunately, I have been suffering from insomnia, otherwise it would have been over......"

Because the dawn was coming, everyone simply packed their bags and went on the road, Mo Mingke was a little concerned about the Gant country mentioned by Rozan, so he ran to the front of the team to ask him, originally Luo Zan was reluctant to speak, but Mo Mingke couldn't stand Mo Mingke's repeated troubles, so he had to open the past story, only to hear Luo Zan say: "The Gant country existed in name only about a hundred years ago, and after that, the descendants of the Gantt people scattered all over the place and became ogres or inferior people who plagued all over the world. ā€

"I've heard some rumors before. Mo Mingke sorted out the thoughts in his mind and said, "It seems that there is a demon who killed all the people in this country? But why did these people become ogres later? And what you just said...... Inferior?"

"Killing the Demon King. Rozan's voice seemed to become a little hoarse at the mention of the name: "No one knows what the origin of this demon is, he is entrenched in the south of the continent, and it seems that he has existed since ancient times. It is rumored that a brave man of the Gant Kingdom inadvertently offended the Demon King, and since then the Gant Kingdom has been shrouded in dark clouds for many years. At that time, a prophet prophesied that the kingdom of Gant had been cursed by the Devil of Slaughter, and that great calamity would soon come. The whole country was in a state of panic, but in the next three years, the country of Gant was peaceful, and there were no natural or man-made disasters, and the king of Gant ordered the army to hunt down the prophet who had made the prophecy and was executed for the crime of spreading rumors and demagoguery, and the people gradually forgot the prophecy of that year. It was only after that three years passed that the prophecy of the executed prophet was finally fulfilled.

"The offspring born in the Gantt country are invariably imbeciles, no, not only imbeciles. This terrible fact was not noticed at first, because the babies were born indistinguishably from normal babies, babbling and toddler like normal babies, and by the time they were four or five years old, they were still indistinguishable from normal toddlers. But from about six years old, the children's physiognomy begins to change, their skin becomes drooping, their hair falls out, their facial features become crooked, and their bodies begin to develop rancid abscesses that turn into ugly bumps after scabbing. Even the most skilled and top doctors in the Gant country could do nothing about these abscesses, because they could not find the cause of the sores in children......

Not only that, but the children's sanity gradually collapsed, they became silent, moody, and in some cases, they showed extremely dangerous tendencies towards self-harm and violence. Later, these children completely lost their 'human' characteristics and became monsters with empty human bodies.

"After this terrible catastrophe struck, almost everyone chose to hide their children at home, not daring to tell outsiders, after all, it is not a glorious thing to give birth to a monster, and some people even ruthlessly killed their children. Later, after all, the paper couldn't hold the fire, and the sorrow and gloom shrouded everyone's face, and some people couldn't help but tell their unspeakable secrets, but found that the other party's children were the same...... When the whole country realizes this cruel truth, King Gantt makes a decision: to pour the power of the whole country into making a final decision with the Demon King. ā€

Mo Mingke swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked in a trembling voice: "Why do you have to fight to break the net?

Rozan continued: "What are you discussing? Kneel on the ground and ask for forgiveness from the Demon King? Someone did it, and a considerable number of Gantt people ran to the castle of the Demon King, wagging their tails and begging for mercy, only to have their heads cut off by the minions of the Demon King, and they loaded their heads in the chariot of bones, loaded cart after cart, and dumped these heads into the river Ruili, the mother river of the Gant country, as if they were dumping garbage.

"Can you imagine what it was like to have countless heads floating down the upper reaches of the Fern River, staining the river with blood red......? After that, the king of Gantt led his army in armor and sword, and the people of the whole country took up their nails, rakes, pickaxes, and axes at home, and followed the king......"

"I don't need to say much about what happened next, no one expected that the human army would be so vulnerable, and it is not necessarily true to say that it was vulnerable, because no one knows what the specific battle process was, and people only remember the outcome of the war: no human survived. ā€
