Chapter 173: Bullying the weak
Ziyue was 100% sure that the Ziqian brothers would come to the scene of the incident, otherwise they would not have marked the corpse, just because she was just stunned her personal bodyguard and did not completely seal it, and it was only a matter of time before the news came back to the Ziqian brothers.
It's a pity that Li Chen didn't know about this, and kept Ziyue in the dark.
At this moment, the two of them had already left the forest next to the Demon Mountain Range overnight, and were riding their horses and galloping on the road to the Demon Capital, on both sides of the road were the grain that grew stronger than the human world, and it was believed that it would soon be harvested and become people's rations.
"Ziyue, why do you want to start a war when your Dark Empire has such a large area of fertile and fertile land?" Li Chen looked at the machine demons walking in the farmland along the road, and it also made the tool demons tremble and kneel on the ground as soon as they saw them, as if they had an inexplicable fear and respect for them, he was not frightened by this, but the food in front of him made him quite confused.
"Brother Chen, do you know, our Dark Empire is in a cold winter for six months of the year, and every winter the earth will instantly form a thick layer of ice, and it is impossible to grow any food during that time, and the ice can only be dissolved until the summer is hot, so that even if the land is fertile, it can only grow a wave of food a year!"
"For an empire with a large population, a season of food plus some purchases from the human world can only sustain a year's consumption, but our environment is twice as good as the orc country in the north, they can only grow food in summer all year round, but even if they know how to grow food, they can't keep up with their reproduction speed!"
"The Dark Empire and the Orc Kingdom do not have any natural danger to rely on, if the Orc Kingdom desperately attacks our Dark Empire, it is enough to overwhelm the whole front, but they also know that attacking us will not get the necessities they want, so they can only form an alliance with us and launch a war against the human world in summer and autumn a year, and the human world also understands that it is impossible not to give us any food, it will only make us attack more crazy!"
"And we are not simply snatching food, the most important thing is to use war to cultivate a new generation of strong people, so the human world acquiesces to us to start war, and at the same time, it also takes advantage of the war to sell us necessities, so that the three parties can be kept in a state of balance!" Ziyue looked at the fertile fields around her, her purple eyes flickered, and explained.
She directly omitted the previous surname, because she was afraid that the surname would expose Li Chen was not the Moon Demon, after all, the Moon Demon's surname was Purple, but Li Chen refused to use the word Zichen, she didn't dare to force Li Chen to nod, and omitting was the only way.
Moreover, the Dark Empire has more fertile land than the human world, but the heavens are not beautiful, even if they want to grow more food, it is impossible, and war is the most direct and effective method, and it is also a measure that can reduce the burden of the empire.
"Hmm!" After hearing these words, Li Chen thought of what Tang Heng explained to him, and the correlation was also very consistent, while the human world cultivated talents, people were also affected by the four seasons because they were in the northeast of the continent, so they had to start wars, indirectly cultivate talents, and obtain corresponding necessities.
No one wants to send their own people to the front, but the empire can't withstand the pressure of population expansion, and will inevitably choose a path of rapid population reduction, which basically has no return.
"Then you haven't thought of attacking the human world?" Suddenly, a strange thought crept into his mind, prompting him to ask casually.
"Brother Chen, it is impossible for our Dark Empire to stay in the human world for long, you should be able to figure out the reason for this, right?" Ziyue shook her head and said.
"Oh, I forgot that your physique is destined to be impossible to enter the human world!" Hearing this, Li Chen suddenly felt that he was asking a little stupidly, forgetting such an important factor, and said embarrassedly.
"Hehe, in fact, the orc kingdom has long peeked into the land of the human world, and they also want to enter the human world to live forever, but they are born with dull brains and don't know how to plant at all, even if they attack it, it will only become a deserted land, in that case, they will kill themselves, so maintaining the status quo is the best choice for us!" Ziyue saw that Li Chen was stupid, and the bell-like laughter rang out instantly.
"Don't laugh, isn't it just a momentary gaffe?" Although Li Chen heard the answer he wanted to know, Ziyue's laughter showed no signs of stopping, which made him a little embarrassed, prompting him to only grimace and say in a deep voice.
"Brother Chen, there seems to be someone bullying the weak over there, should we go over and take a look?" Ziyue hurriedly suppressed her laughter, and her willow eyebrows frowned, as if she was looking for a way to resolve the embarrassing situation in front of her, and soon, she found a suitable way, pointed her finger ahead, and asked.
"I'm only responsible for sending you back to the Demon Capital!" Li Chen still had a cold face and said rigidly.
He could see at a glance that Ziyue was diverting his gaze, even if he knew that there were really people bullying the weak over there, it had nothing to do with him, he went his way, and people bullied others.
Maybe in the human world, they will meddle in it, but this is the Dark Empire, and it is better to have more than one thing, so that Ziyue can be sent back to the Demon Capital in the shortest possible time.
Then, with the help of what he got from Ziyue's hands, he returned to the Demon Pass in a straight line!
"Brother Chen, although I know that you are not from our Dark Empire, but you are my man, and I know that Brother Chen must be a kind-hearted person, it is impossible to watch those bandits who bully farmers arrogantly!" Ziyue saw Li Chen's refusal, and he immediately changed his method and said.
"If you don't help, you don't help!" Li Chen shook his head.
"Since Brother Chen ruthlessly watched those helpless farmers being bullied and refused to help, then I will help them myself!" Ziyue said a lot of good things, but still couldn't make Li Chen nod, and after dropping a somewhat angry word, he immediately rode his horse to the place where the bullying took place, and it was obvious that he was going to be a good person.
"Forget it, let's go over and have a look!" Li Chen looked at Ziyue's back as he left angrily, his brows furrowed instantly, knowing that Ziyue had the idea of meddling and delaying time, but he could only shake his head helplessly, urging his mount to follow.
If he doesn't follow, he can't do it, who asked him to be responsible for protecting Ziyue and returning to the demon capital, with Ziyue's current ability, let alone dealing with the weapon demon with combat power, even a farmer who cultivates can beat Ziyue to death.
And it is impossible for him to watch Ziyue in distress, the so-called taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others, he has a lot of things that Ziyue gave him in his arms, so he must take this trip to the troubled waters.
"I knew that Brother Chen wasn't the kind of person who wouldn't save him when he saw death!" Ziyue deliberately slowed down the speed of her mount, allowing Li Chen to come to her side, and smiled sweetly.
"Hurry up and take me there!" Li Chen shook his head, he couldn't afford it, just because he had just refused to help, so it was quite suitable for him not to save him when he died.
Ziyue saw that Li Chen was a little reluctant, and she didn't stimulate Li Chen to go down anymore, but instead concentrated on hurrying, which was enough for the mount to run for about ten minutes, and also let them see the village that was being robbed by bandits.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this grain is only enough for us to last until the grain is harvested, if you take away our grain, we will not be able to reach the maturity of the grain, and we will definitely starve to death, please raise your noble hand and give us a way to live, right?" In the village, the honest peasant women were kneeling on the ground, begging the bandits with swords in their hands and tying sacks of grain to their horses.
"Get out, get my robe dirty, believe it or not, I'll send you to hell right away!" a bandit leader watched coldly as the peasants pounced on him, and before the peasants could touch his robe, he immediately raised his foot and kicked him out, and snorted coldly.
The farmer who was kicked away spat blood from his mouth, and when he fell to the ground, he rubbed a long distance, and when he stopped, he spurted out a mouthful of blood again, and his face turned white in an instant, and then he fainted from his injuries.
It also made the farmers who originally wanted to ask for the bandit leader to be timid, and could only watch as the food that belonged to them was taken away by these bandits, after all, they could still hold on for some time by tightening their belts, and angering the bandits would only make them lose even the chance to hold on.
At this moment, two rapid sound of horses' hooves suddenly echoed in everyone's ears, and in an instant, everyone's eyes were looking at the direction where the sound of horses' hooves was heard.
"Moon Demon..."As the sound of the horse's hooves became clearer and clearer, it also made many people see the two pairs of purple pupils, and in an instant, everyone's nerves here were tense, and then, a chill that surged up from the soles of the feet to the brains was also like a plague, and it spread in an instant, whether it was a bandit or a farmer, they all trembled, and their eyes revealed a fear that was almost substantial.
The Moon Demon is the royal family of the Dark Empire, and whoever dares to provoke it in the slightest, not to mention, that breath is enough to make the Weapon Demons who are only of the civilian class tremble.
"Withdraw!" the leader of the bandits had a premonition that something was wrong, and his heart was already half cold, and before the two horses could come to him, he immediately turned over and got on his horse, and after a loud shout, urged the horses to rush in the direction of another out of the village.
The other bandits trembled one by one, and suddenly came back to their senses, not daring to have a chance to meet the Moon Demon at all, so they planned to turn over and jump on horseback, but unfortunately, they seemed to be half a beat slower, and the breath of the Moon Demon had made their bodies stiffen.
"Boom!" Immediately after, an extremely intense white light was like a light tearing through the void, with a terrifying penetrating force, at an unimaginable speed, attacking the bandit leader who was only concerned about fleeing.
"Light physique..."The bandit leader felt that the energy fluctuations coming from his back were not the Moon Demon's at all, but it made his heart beat even more, and he turned his head in horror, and before he had time to make a defensive move, he watched the attacking white light hit his body violently, and before he could feel the heart-rending pain coming from his body, a cracking sound resounded on his body: "Bang!"
