Chapter 461: Chapter 461: Into the Eternal Night
Here is eternal night, and there is no light here!
It's corrupt, it's cruel, it's oppressive, it's hateful, but there's no resistance!
Along the way, Ye Wentian passed through seven major cities and thousands of small towns, passing through many baronies, viscounts, and even counts, and what he saw and heard was breathtaking.
In this land of eternal night, the commoners have no human rights, all the commoners live in exploitation, oppression and even slavery, their lives and freedom belong to the nobles, their children also belong to the nobles, they have to hand over all the qiē they get from farming, spinning and weaving, and the nobles will only return a small part of the rations, not to mention nutrition, they can't even fill their stomachs. If a beautiful girl is born in a commoner's house, as long as the nobles are happy, there is no need to rob it at all, just pick up a gun in a commoner's house and go into battle, and kowtow to thank the commoner after finishing it.
The more distasteful aristocrats would regularly capture commoners and have them play archery with apples on their heads, most of which exploded their heads, or let civilians fight wild beasts for appreciation, or test various parasites and viruses on commoners to observe and record the daily deterioration process, or disembowelment of pregnant commoner women as a high-class dish for dinner guests.
Ye Wentian couldn't believe what he saw in front of him, why did this empire look like this? Why was it so cruel and unreasonable? Wasn't this empire the most powerful empire in the Demon Martial Continent? Isn't its strength comparable to that of the Blue Dragon Empire? What was even more terrifying was why those oppressed and brutalized civilians didn't know how to resist?
Those pairs of numb and empty eyes deeply pierced Ye Wentian's nerves, but after seeing too much, Ye Wentian understood that it was not that civilians did not resist, but that they could not resist at all, this was the world of spiritual power, and a guard of less than ten levels could easily kill hundreds of civilians, not to mention those fifty-level, sixty-level, or even seventy-eighty level aristocratic lords! Resistance is equivalent to suicide, and he can still steal his life! This is the reality of eternal night, the cruel reality.
The prosperity and strength of the Qinglong Empire is based on the hundreds of millions of Li people, the original Xikang City, is just a small city, but people live and work in peace and contentment, everyone has a smile on their faces, everyone's eyes are full of hope, even the cattle village that grew up has meat to eat.
The difference is that the power of the Eternal Night Empire is based on exploitation and oppression, and hundreds of millions of Dawn people are flesh and blood for the nobles at the top of the pyramid to suck.
It shouldn't have been like this! It shouldn't have been like this! Ye Wentian quietly clenched his fists.
Coincidentally, Ip Mantian happened to pass by Baron Ohm's barony, so he stopped by to take a look, and he saw with his own eyes that the baron's castle was brightly lit like a banquet, the long table in the lobby was full of wine and meat delicacies, the highest tray was a baby no more than five months old, and there were many scantily clad men and women around the table, they were eating and laughing, kissing and caressing each other, and the dinner party quickly turned into a crazy and promiscuous flesh and blood hell. In a rancid warehouse, Ip Mantian found a girl with her belly dissected, the girl was only fifteen or sixteen years old, covered in blood and dying, when Ip Mantian stood beside her, she grabbed his trouser leg and said six words with her last life: "I want to...... Take a look at the blue ...... Sky. ”
Yes, there is no blue sky in the eternal night, there is no sun, there is no warmth here, there is no hope here!
When the girl's pale and twisted hand fell to the ground, Ye Wentian shed a tear, closed the girl's dead eyes, and with all the rage, like the demon awakened by the Nine Shadows, he smashed into Baron Ohm's castle, and overnight, the blood flowed like a river, killing three hundred and twenty-one people, and the entire castle was burned in the blazing abyss fire.
"I, Ip Mantian, will one day destroy this empire with my own hands!pierce the eternal night and let the earth usher in dawn and hope!" Ip Mantian made a vow with his back to the sea of fire and looking at the dark sky.
Along the way, with Ip Man's thunderous speed, he also walked for three full days, and in three days, he killed 2,300 people, burned seventeen Baron Castles, two Viscount Castles, and one Earl's Castle.
Day and night, Ye Wentian and a sturdy young man walked side by side on the wide official road, and the end of the field of vision was the destination of this time, and it was also the capital of the Eternal Night Empire' 'Silvermoon City', which was a large city that stretched for thousands of miles, divided into five areas from the outside to the inside, to distinguish different classes, and the silver crescent moon in the sky also hung in the middle of the sky above Silvermoon City.
"Brother Ye Tian, have you heard that there was a rebellion on the border, and the entire seventeen baronial castles were burned, and thousands of nobles died! Who is so bold as to dare to do such a thing? Officially, it is a civilian rebellion, but I think it is the ghost of the remnants of Pompeii. "The young man's name is Arthur, and he is also from a civilian background, because he has excellent talent, he has cultivated to level ten, so he wants to go to Silvermoon City to join the army, which is the only way to get rid of his civilian status.
"Oh, why can't it be a civilian rebellion?" said Ye Wentian.
Arthur shook his head: "I am also a civilian, I understand, civilians are basically ordinary people, and they can't even beat the guards, how can they rebel? The escort team of the noble lords is all a master of the first or twenty levels, and a small team can slaughter the civilians of a small town, what kind of rebellion do the civilians take, what do they use to kill the noble lord? Alas. ”
Ye Wentian was surprised: "I didn't expect you to see it quite clearly, most of the civilians I saw along the way were numb and ignorant, and you are obviously different, can you tell me why?"
Arthur scratched the back of his head and smiled: "We civilians are born to live hard, and it depends on whether the lord is good or not, if you meet a perverted lord, it is naturally better to live than to die, but if you meet a kind and benevolent lord, life is still okay." Guess whose territory my family is in? Haha, sue you, my family is in Marshal Teresa's private territory, Marshal Teresa is our goddess, she never collects taxes, and strictly forbids the nobles in the territory to oppress the commoners, what a good person that is rare in a thousand years!"
"Teresa?" Ye Wentian was taken aback, he didn't expect Arthur to have such a high regard for Teresa, and he didn't expect Teresa's private territory to be so unique.
"Please call Lord Marshal, or call Lord Goddess!" Arthur glared at Ye Wentian with a tiger face, and then raised his thick arm with a smile, "If it weren't for Lord Marshal's lenient policy, I would definitely be as thin as a monkey now, how can I have enough food to make me grow so strong?" I have also cultivated spiritual power, if I can see Lord Marshal, I am willing to die, haha!"
