Chapter 1139: Odorin
Odolyn is located in the southeast of the Kingdom of America, is the head of the county of Audolin, and is also the industrial town of the Kingdom of America, it occupies about one-third of the total industrial share of the entire Kingdom of America, because the surrounding mountains here contain a large number of high-quality metal ores, but also grow a lot of combustible wood with high ignition point and high temperature, with almost perfect industrial base conditions.
In addition, because the Tauro Road, the Quirin Ancient Road and the Didi Long Road leading to the wasteland all converge into the Odorin after drilling out of the primeval forest of the wasteland, and then integrate into the system of the trade route around the continent, so the convenience of the location also makes Odorin the Moisan continent the premier commercial city, most of the goods from the wasteland and the goods sent to the wasteland will pass through here, and the wealth passing through Odorin every year is enough to fill the Tauros Lake outside the city.
However, such a geographically important and mineral-rich city was only a transit point for goods before the year of the fog, and few caravans stayed overnight in the city, and even the locals built villages and towns outside the city.
The reason why it is so weird is entirely because of what happened here in the past, for a long time, Odoline has been famous for the ghost domain, as long as it is mentioned that Odolin's ghost domain even the most daring person can't help but shudder, and even throw you to the Odoline ghost domain to spend the night, it has become the world's common language to scare children.
The Ghost Domain of Odorin originated from the Otdoline Attack and Defense War during the colonial period hundreds of years ago, when the Kingdom of Sigmar, as the overlord of the colony, chose to build a city in the extremely advantageous geographical location of Odorin, and spared no expense to build the famous Odorin Wall on the periphery of the city to defend against the attack from the wasteland tribes.
At the beginning of the city's founding, Odolyn did achieve the desired effect of the Sigma Kingdom, and stubbornly blocked the tribes of the wasteland from the colonies opened up, but with the development of the anti-Sigma movement in the entire Moissanite continent, the colonies controlled by the Sigma Kingdom continued to be attacked by other colonial countries and local tribes, and they were divided into pieces, and it was only a matter of time before the colonies were completely abandoned.
However, not everyone in the Sigma Kingdom admits defeat and is willing to give up the colony and the huge benefits contained in it, and these people are mainly the military of the Sigma Kingdom colony.
These military diehards, while perfunctory with the withdrawal orders from the kingdom, mobilized all the garrisons of the other scattered colonies to Odolin, and soon formed an army of 100,000 men, ready to concentrate all their forces on the armies of the colonial countries and local tribes that had danced the most in the anti-Sigma movement, and the Kingdom of England was among them.
Although the Sigma military's plan is very correct, if it succeeds, even if it cannot restore all the colonies of the Sigma Kingdom, it will not be completely driven out of the Moisan continent.
However, there are too many different voices within Sigma, and in the early days of the implementation of the plan, when the deployment of troops began, the relevant content of the plan was already sent to the hands of the combined army by some surrenders within Sigma.
After learning all the plans, the upper echelons of the combined army did not immediately send troops to Odolyn to interfere with Sigma's plan, nor did they deploy troops around Odolin, as if they never knew about it, but still attacked the scattered colonies of the Kingdom of Sigmar according to the original plan, and occupied as much land as possible for their country and tribe before the end of the war.
However, at the same time, they also sent messengers to secretly go to the wasteland, and had a conversation with the tribes in the wasteland who were still watching and did not make a move, no one knew what the conversation was, even the tribes involved in the attack and defense of Odolin never mentioned this matter, in short, after the envoys of the combined army left, the various tribes of the wasteland quickly formed an army of nearly 200,000 people, and rushed towards Odolin.
In the end, these two armies, which combined with more than 300,000 men, collided together at the high wall of Odorin, and began the 100-day Otdoline Offensive and Defensive Battle, also known as the Hundred Days Bloody Battle.
The Hundred Days Blood War has always been the object of attention of various literature and dramas in the world of Velon, and there are countless related and dramas, and scholars from various countries are also very keen to study this great war that affects the follow-up war laws of the entire Moisan Continent, but no matter how it is studied, there is no conclusion on how the Hundred Days Blood War unfolded and how it developed, because all the people who participated in the Hundred Days Blood War and witnessed the whole process of the Hundred Days Blood War died.
The only surviving direct information about the 100-day bloody battle is a war report written two days before the accident by the military observer sent by the Kingdom of England to Odolin, which mentions that after the war lasted for one hundred and seven days, the defenders of the city finally chose to surrender, and by this time, the combined forces of the Wasteland tribes had suffered more than 100,000 casualties, and the defenders of the Kingdom of Sigma had less than 10,000 left.
What happened after that, contrary to everyone's expectations, the Wasteland Tribal Alliance did not imprison the captives as was customary at the time, and then demanded ransom and compensation from the Kingdom of Sigmar, but instead performed extremely primitive blood sacrifices in the city of Odolin.
In this blood sacrifice, not only the captives of the Sigmar Kingdom, but also the settlements around Odolyn were wiped out by the army of the wasteland tribes, and finally more than 20,000 sacrifices were made.
The exact process of the Blood Sacrifice is unknown, and the only thing that is certain is that during the Blood Sacrifice, a very serious accident occurred, which eventually led to the involvement of the participants in the Blood Sacrifice in the city of Odoline, as well as the troops and prisoners stationed outside the city, including some senior clergy of the Church disguised as military observers or military advisers from other countries.
After Odoline's army and military observers lost contact for some time, both the Wasteland tribes and the anti-Sigma coalition sent people to Odoline to check on the situation, only to see the bones of the entire city of Odoline, and the city stained red with blood.
No one knows what happened here, but everyone, including the wasteland tribe who sent people to participate in this war, thought that it should be related to the Blood Sacrifice, and it must have happened in the Blood Sacrifice, causing the power contained in the Blood Sacrifice to get out of control and kill everyone.
It is also because of this incident that the world's first war convention of Velen appeared, in which the treatment and treatment of prisoners of war were specified in detail, so as to avoid the occurrence of prisoners of war being sacrificed in blood, although the signing of this convention at that time was only the generals of several forces of the anti-Sigma coalition, but it also has extraordinary significance for the war history of the entire Velen world
However, the most important thing for the people of the wasteland tribe now is neither to sign a war pact nor to investigate the truth of the matter, but how to appease the anger and resentment within the tribe.
After all, more than 200,000 people participated in this war, and some tribes even sent most of the young and middle-aged, but now these people don't even have their bones to be found, and more importantly, the benefits promised by the high-level leaders of each tribe before the start of this war cannot be realized.
As a result, under the strong backlog of hatred, various assassinations by low-level members of various tribes against the high-level of the tribe emerged one after another, making everyone at the top of each tribe endanger themselves, and they no longer care about dealing with the affairs of Odolin.
The anti-Sigma coalition immediately sent a team of 5,000 troops to Odolyn, and the reason for the entry was to assist the wasteland tribes and the Sigmar kingdom in cleaning up the bones of the dead, and the real purpose was naturally self-evident.
However, to the surprise of the anti-Sigma coalition people, the more than 5,000 people sent were infected with the plague half a year after they were stationed in Odolin, and all of them festered and died in just a few days, as if they had been cursed.
After that, the anti-Sigma coalition split, and the various forces of the division were busy conquering the richer territory in the north, and no one paid attention to Odolin, who also changed hands several times in the subsequent wars, large and small, and finally after the establishment of the Kingdom of America, Odoline's ownership was finally determined.
During this time, rumors of the Ghost Domain of Odolyn also spread in the world of Veron, and all the forces and countries that received the ownership of Odoline never sent troops here, and they would only build some small villages or outpost camps on the outskirts of Odolyn to provide rest and supplies for the caravans.
After the year of the fog disaster, a large number of mutated monsters appeared all over the world, and the Moisan Continent, which is dominated by primeval forests and has a huge number of creatures, is rampant with monsters, and more importantly, the tribes in the wasteland do not know what means to use, and all the monsters that appear in the wasteland are guided outside the wasteland, which makes a large number of monster tides appear on the borders of countries close to the wasteland, among which the Kingdom of Megaliga is the most, and the edge of the wasteland in the Odoline region is the first to bear the brunt.
According to later statistics, there were tens of thousands of mutated monsters gathered here at that time, and the border guards of the United States could not cope with such an army of monsters at all, so they could only retreat, but the way they retreated was blocked by the monsters that appeared inside the Kingdom of the United States, and it was difficult to forcibly break through the siege, and in the end, these border guards and the residents of the surrounding towns were all trapped outside the city of Odolin.
With an army of monsters that were visible to the naked eye and extremely dangerous on the other, and a world ghost domain that had been rumored to be enduring for hundreds of years, it was an extremely difficult choice for the Kingdom General who commanded these border guards and residents at that time.
In the end, he still chose to enter Odorin City, relying on Odorin's high walls to arrange a defensive line to block the monster army, after all, for him, the threat of the monster army is visible to the naked eye, and although Odorin Ghost Domain has been rumored for so many years, he has not really seen the danger here, so he made this risky choice.
It's just that even if the generals at that time didn't believe in the legend of the Ghost Domain, they didn't really confront this legend, and after they entered Otdolin, they were all stationed on the high walls of Odorin and did not enter the city.
Afterwards, the men were able to survive the monster tide thanks to the sturdy defenses of the Oddoline Walls, and they did not encounter the rumored horrors.
With these people as a precedent, those who were curious about the Odoline Ghost Domain also tried to go deeper into the city, and even some daring people entered the catacombs that were specially built for those bones by the garrison of more than 5,000 corpses.
Although some strange things happened in the process, the number of casualties was very small, at least compared to the thousands or tens of thousands of casualties back then, it can be said to be negligible.
In addition, a large number of high-quality metal ores exposed outside the surface and can be directly mined were found in the mountains around Odorine, so that the Kingdom of Omegalica began to focus on the development of Odorin, and even in order to allow Odorin to complete the infrastructure in a short period of time and attract enough chaebols and forces, the Kingdom of Megaliga also sold part of the management rights of Odorin.
The transfer of management was a very wise decision at the time, because it was a decision that allowed Odoline to transform from a deserted ghost city into a leading industrial town and commercial center in Moissanity in less than two years.
But for now, the decision of the American Kingdom to cede part of the management rights is a failure, which has caused the American Kingdom to have a very weak control over Odoline, and even less than one-third of the seats in the city council belong to the American Kingdom, and 90% of the city managers are from the chaebols, groups, tribes, and large family forces, etc., and even the church.
All in all, Odolyn is more of an industrial version of Miria.
Leo flew in the air through the psionic wings, and at a very fast speed, he came all the way along the trade route around the continent to the outskirts of Odolin, unlike on the sea, although on land for some unknown reasons, his psionic skills would consume more, but he did not encounter divine punishment or anything like that knocked him down from the air, the only thing he needed to pay attention to in the air was those scarce but extremely fierce flying monsters.
On the way, Leo encountered a huge flying monster made up of countless bird remains, huge enough to cover a small town, and he didn't think much about using the thunder gun to shoot it down directly, but in retrospect, he realized that the monster was not dead, but the shell that wrapped the body was destroyed by the thunder gun, and the body did not suffer much damage.
If it was before, Leo might have gone back and found the flying monster and studied its structure, after all, a monster that can be immortalized under the attack of a seventh-level psionic person's thunder spear is extremely valuable for research no matter how you look at it.
But now his mind was no longer on this side, and it was important to get to Odoline to meet Sylvia as soon as possible.
And when he came to the outskirts of Odolin, he felt a wave of energy fluctuations emanating from Odolin, and couldn't help but open his spiritual vision and look in the direction of Odoline, and after he saw the real situation of Odoline, his face also showed a little frightened, as if he had seen something incredible.
