It's also interesting that both sides are working in silos. Why is the losing side the defender? That's because the guarding side simply doesn't have enough living resources, and the guardian side doesn't have to provide supplies to the guarding side when they have abundant food resources, because in fact each has its own survival advantage - the barren living environment is never dangerous except for the lack of supplies. As long as you don't go into the fog, don't go down to the river to find your own death, and the people on the side of the guard only need to send three teams of people to patrol back and forth along the fog in shifts every day according to the regulations. They can also grow vegetables on this side of the river that separates them. The closer you get to the river, the farther away the fog becomes, and although the water is very dangerous, there has never been a precedent for any danger to come out of the water and run to the shore to hurt people. You can also mine in mines near the Mist, and exchange ore-crafted tools and weapons for the guardian for supplies. It sounds like a good place to retire, but it's not, and there are currently about 5,000 people living together with a severe lack of food, lack of clothing, and lack of food. It's already to the point where conflict is about to break out here, and most of the people as thin as Li Qiuye are because they can't eat enough at all. So Chu Nan's arrival is a miracle for them that needs to be grasped.

On the side of the guardian, it can be said that the scenery is beautiful, the environment is pleasant, the fierce beasts look around, the resources are abundant, and it is easy to burp.

In fact, the guardian side guards the handle and himself, and at best, even the continuation of civilization. For this reason, the Guardian's dedication and possession do not make them feel any guilt for the impoverished Guardian behind them. For example, even on this side of the river, the guardian side built a city wall, a ten-meter-high wall. The construction of a semi-circular shape with a distance of 10 kilometers from the north and south ends of the river to envelop the city in it is a huge amount of work that cannot be completed by today's guards. The purpose is to keep the family on one side of the river, and the defender on the other side of the river. Here Chu Nan asks a question: "Why can't the wild beasts go around the wall, cross the river, and eat them?" Also, don't beasts fly? Fly above the guardian's head and even spot the defender and eat them all."

Because of the fog!

First, there is a lack of food in areas close to the fog, for example, if you are in a dense forest, if you want to find food, will you go to the desert outside the dense forest? Second, the mysterious fog is like a canopy less than 20 kilometers from the river, and this powerful sense of oppression is still avoided by human instincts, and animals can feel it too, and most of them feel it even more. This also explains why these two parties live in the Boundary River region close to the mist.

Chu Nan interjected again: "But will there be that kind of beast that is more naughty and extremely powerful, I just like it."

This desolate area is full of rare breeds of humans, and get a taste of it. ”

"Of course there are, so we decide whether to move or not every 11 years." Li Qiuye answered.

Returning to the geography of the guardian, it is not a metaphor, it is a dense forest. There are hills, streams, dense trees, grass on the ground, fruits, and small animals that do not hurt people but are delicious. On the other hand, there are also small animals and large plants that can easily kill the guardian and are difficult to eat. From millimeters to several feet, there are countless animals that can easily kill people, and there are many plants that can make you disappear as fertilizer without knowing it, from spikes to bindings. Every year, the guardians have casualties of one kind or another, and this is something that the defenders don't have to worry about at all. The people on the walls of the guardian side are called the Guardians, and the Guardians are the death squads who wear their belts around their heads. Fortunately, they never wrote on their belts, such as the word "forbearance" or something, otherwise if Chu Nan met them at first sight, they would definitely think that they were in a certain island country. Guardians usually consist of more than 300 people, and it is said that in recent years the number of Guardians has reached an all-time high of more than 800. These people don't all have to go on patrol, they mainly guard the city walls. Because of the large number of casualties, the conditions for becoming a Guardian are not harsh. As long as the people on the guardian side feel that their ability is enough, they will go directly to sign up, and they will become guardians if they pass the post directly. In fact, the most casualty is the patrol team that must be divided into two teams every three days, and the task is to patrol outside the city walls. Start at the north and south ends at the same time and walk 10 kilometers outward, (sometimes this number is not fixed, but only more and not less, as determined by the guardian according to the possibility of danger) and then walk along the distance of ten kilometers from the wall until you meet and then return to the wall through the gate in the middle of the wall, and then go home for a vacation after reporting work. Initial dangers are usually discovered by patrols, and when they are frequent, or when they encounter an invincible monster whose purpose is to invade the city, it is time to discuss the migration. Fortunately, large monsters generally don't look down on this bit of human flesh and blood, and may think that it is not worth it to go to such a remote place in order to eat this little thing.

Speaking of this, Li Qiuye also told Chu Nan a little story by the way, it is said that the patrol team once broke into the depths of the forest for more than 8 days because of chasing a precious little light pig. I once encountered a monster that looked like a cow with legs alone that exceeded the height of the city walls, and that big guy could eat a towering tree in one bite. The earth shook when it walked, and human beings could not even stand in front of it.

However, Chu Nan seemed to be more concerned about what a small light pig was, although he had eaten meat for so many days, it was beef, and the cow was said to have been used to celebrate the harvest in the summer and hold a banquet. A cow that has been raised for two years but is only two hundred and fifty pounds, so thin that Chu Nan will cry when he looks at it, although the taste is so-so, but the chewiness is too chewy. On the face that was already terrible, it was like there were neat front teeth leaking out of the position of the lips, and Chu Nan felt that it was one of the few advantages in his current appearance. But just last night, the old man personally brought a steaming bowl of stew, and the doctor explained that he needed to eat some meat to make up for it now, so don't eat it politely. As a result, Chu Nan tore out two front teeth on his mouth, and Chu Nan was stunned at that time, just looking at the lost teeth and the meat in the bowl, and didn't say anything. When Li Qiuye came to collect the bowl, he really seemed to cry in Li Qiuye's arms. Fortunately, in the end, Li Qiuye chopped the meat with a knife and fed it to him piece by piece. A bowl of beef was chewed like that until midnight, and Chu Nan found himself too fragile to speak. But I like the days like now, sitting in the yard munching on beef and looking at the stars. So Chu Nan couldn't help but interject and asked:

What is Little Light Pig? Isn't it delicious? Chewy, isn't it?

Li Qiuye saw that his saliva was an exaggeration, and most of the water in his body was probably excreted from his body like this. If you continue to flow down, will you be dehydrated? Quickly reminded him to put away his saliva, and then took out the prepared handkerchief to wipe his mouth. While rubbing and saying:

I haven't eaten it, but I heard that my father ate it one year. Very tasty! It's very tender. I heard that it is a very cute little guy who can reflect light, although few of us here have eaten the little light pig, but we all know that the most delicious meat in the world is the little light pig. The reason why the patrol team just mentioned spent eight days chasing a little light pig is that they hope to find other little light pigs. You can catch a few more, and you can breed them later.

When he turned his head, he saw Chu Nan's face drooling with delusion, and he picked up the handkerchief and wiped it off carefully. Whenever she looked at the ugly Chu Nan gently, but she didn't dislike it, Chu Nan was fascinated. Every time Chu Nan thinks about it, it's better to stay here in this life. Although Chu Nan's face couldn't make any expression at all at the moment, Li Qiuye could still detect it by staring at Li Qiuye's thoughtful eyes. So he hurriedly continued: "Let me tell you about our Spring Festival."

For the guardians and guards, every eleven years they get together to hold a huge event - the Spring Festival. It sounds like a spring outing, but it's actually a cruel competition to decide the latest 11 guardians. Which side has more people among the 11 people will become the guardian, and behind the seemingly fair is actually a vicious circle, because the competition basically depends on whether you have a better ability to serve as the guardian than the other party. It's like having the two sides compete to mine in the mountains near the fog, with the guardian not mining and the defender not doing the guardian's work. Therefore, according to the records of the clan that can be found, the guardian and the guardian have only been changed three times in the past 400 years. The first recorded time was 395 years ago, and it was said that it was because the defender dug up better metal materials, and there was a great technological innovation in metal manufacturing, which led to equipment crushing and won the rights of the guardian. The second record was 329 years ago, but there is no indication that the register was unfortunately destroyed by a fire. The third time was 197 years ago, and this time it recorded the competition process in detail!

From the beginning of the historical record, the population of the two families has exceeded 20,000 10 years ago, and it is also the most prosperous time for the two families. The last time the population almost exceeded 20,000 was 208 years ago. Then 197 years ago, the population dropped to less than 10,000 people, that is to say, the population did not increase in the past 11 years, but fell by half, according to records, 208 years ago, the Spring Festival was still a big victory with the guardian side, as most of the time. All 11 Guardians were born from the Guardian side. The Guardian continued to serve as the Guardian, and there was no information of a possible migration during the Spring Festival banquet at the end of the conference. But the next year, in the middle of the night, there were cries, fires, and the roars of wild beasts were heard from time to time. The personnel responsible for guarding both sides of the bridge immediately organized people to make a suspension bridge from the wood and rope stacked in the warehouse next to the bridge with two pillars on both sides. But it will take time! During this time, the wall of the guardian collapsed and was trampled by a demon beast called "Impreza Beast". This is a black leopard, but much larger than the average leopard. The tail is usually five or six meters long, and there is a pair of bat-like wings, which are four or five meters wide when one wing is opened. That day, the group of Imagiza beasts suddenly appeared and flew madly towards the city. When you see someone, you bite, and the 300 guardians on the city wall are almost dead. The elders of the city joined forces with the escort to block it, and finally built a drawbridge, and less than 5,000 people escaped to the guard. Everyone fled under the misty wall overnight, and finally none of the Impreza Leopard Beasts chased after them. According to final statistics, the total number of people at the beginning of the migration was more than 9,000, and more than 9,000 died. More than 3,000 people died during the two-year migration, and only 5,744 were left when they finally reached their destination. There are 3,801 guards and 1,943 defenders. According to the rules, as long as the number of guardians is not less than 100, they must continue to protect as guardians. So they went back to their respective banks across the river. Recuperate and wait for the next Spring Festival meeting. However, the habitat they found this time was a very good feng shui treasure. In the next eight years, although most of the remaining guardians were children and women, and the guardians counted only more than 100 people who could make up the number, they never encountered any major dangers. Otherwise, if they are attacked a few more times, these people may completely disappear from the edge of this strange fog. When the Spring Festival came again, looking at the city wall that had not been built in eight years, it was inevitable to defend it this time. There was the Spring Festival meeting that changed sides for the third time.

There are only three competitions in the Spring Festival. Each side will send 11 people to participate in the competition, and there is no age or gender limit. Don't hurt people's lives, don't cheat. All competitions will be awarded according to the position. 12 points for 1st place, 11 points for 2nd place, and then every two adjacent places are tied for points, and the score decreases by one point. 10 points for third and fourth places, 9 points for fifth and sixth places, and so on. The 11 people with the highest number of points are the Guardians. Three generations of the Guardian's immediate family can reside in the Guardian. For example, this time when the side was changed, there were two people who were originally the guardians, so the three generations of the direct lines of these two people did not need to be changed to the guarding side. One of these two people is worth mentioning, and he is the grandfather of the Great Elder who is currently guarding the Fang. It is said that when the old man was 130 years old, he was pleased with such a son as the father of the great elder. Chu Nan was overjoyed when he heard this, indicating two things. First, on the other side of the river, the Great Elder's family has a method of cultivating immortals. Second, this old man is amazing, and he is a good example.
