Chapter 398: The Vanishing God
(Today's second update is delivered!!)
War!
This is the answer to falling snow.
After the elimination of the demons, the expected era of peace was not ushered in. And the various races did not live in harmony on the continent as agreed before.
In the 100-year dark age of the extinction of the demon race, human beings have learned a large number of demon civilizations by dissolving a large number of demon descendants, which has greatly improved the strength of human beings!
Human beings are no longer as weak as before, and at the same time, they have absorbed a part of the demon culture......!
At the same time, it is also more ambitious!
After the war of the Mythological Age, according to the agreement of the various tribes, the Jīng spirit was given the forest zone in the north of the continent where they were able to thrive and the forests of the Kilimaro Mountains.
In addition to their original habitat, the dwarves have also been given the hilly terrain in the southwest of the continent. As for the orcs, because of the strong individual strength of the orcs and the huge population of the orcs, they got the central and southern plains of the continent!
And only human beings. Because of the low contempt for human beings, human beings have been given relatively little land......
To Du Wei's surprise, when Falling Snow told us about the earliest habitat of humans. The answer given by Luo Xue surprised Du Wei very much!
"According to ancient legends, if the account is correct, after the war, mankind gained the lands of the western and northwestern parts of the continent - that is to say, the vast majority of the land. It's Duke Tulip, the territory you now govern!"Northwest??
Du Wei knows the bitter cold and barrenness of the northwest!
It is conceivable that human beings are naturally dissatisfied with the land they have been allocated......
Moreover, even at the beginning, human beings did not express dissatisfaction because of their own strength, but later, the situation had to change!
The fecundity of human beings, compared to all races, is very strong!
Especially after the absence of the enslavement of the demons. With the acquisition of zìyóu humans, the population has increased rapidly in just a few decades.
A large population base, coupled with the strength of the race that is not what it used to be. And mentality. More importantly, the land acquired by human beings is too barren to meet the needs of human survival!
All of this is piled up, and in the end, there is only one result!
The strength of human beings lies not only in the change in strength, but more importantly, in the wisdom of human beings! Compared with the dwarves and orcs, human beings have more cunning minds and wisdom...... But there is one of the biggest weaknesses of the jīng spirit race, that is: conservative! almost stubbornly conservative!!
Then in the war for survival resources. Humans easily defeated the dwarves. He drove the dwarves from the mountains of the northwest to the south, and at the same time acquired many of the skills left by the dwarves.
And in the war with the orcs, he originally faced a powerful orc legion. Humans, on the other hand, have relied on their own wisdom to develop different types of troops and tactics.
The account of the ancient legend described in terms of falling snow goes like this:
"A human is definitely no match for an orc.
Ten human soldiers are no match for ten orc warriors, but a hundred humans can barely tie with a hundred orc warriors.
If it's a thousand against a thousand...... Then humans can defeat the orcs!"
In the course of the war, human beings also used a series of strategies such as discord, division, deception, and so on, to trap the simple-minded orcs into one trap and scheme after another.
Despite their great force and numbers, the orcs are still losing ground in front of humans, and their land is being eaten away step by step.
What's even more helpless is that in the process of war. The Jīng Spirit Race, a race of powerful magical civilizations, stayed out of the way in the early days of the war!
Even when the orcs experienced a huge defeat and asked the jīng spirits for help, the "clean and self-sufficient" jīng spirits refused the orcs' request, but survived in the vast forests and deep mountains without any sense of crisis.
They are still "carefree" and live their own peaceful and peaceful lives.
Such a move will undoubtedly make the other races lose their last chance to defeat humanity!
This war, in the history of the guilty people, is called the "second mythical war".
In the latter stages of this second mythical war, humanity achieved a great victory, and humans occupied most of the land in the southern part of the continent, and the orcs and dwarves were driven to the north of the continent by humans.
In the southern part of the continent, human beings have established their own cities, towns, and ...... All these civilizations seem to carry the imprint of the strong demon culture of human blood!!
Finally, in the later stages of the war, in the face of the orcs and dwarves on the verge of extinction, the jīng spirit clan also woke up from their slumber.
But by this time, it was too late!
Having defeated the orcs and dwarves, humanity has taken enough territory, has a large area of rear land, and a constant potential for war.
Moreover, when dealing with the powerful magical race of the Jīng Spirit Race, the human strategy is also very clever!
The Jīng spirit tribe lives in the vast forest. The jīng spirits, who have a natural advantage in the forest, are powerful archers and excellent magicians...... But humans. But they didn't attack the forest head-on!
According to ancient records, the strategy adopted by humans was to burn down large areas of forests first!
Judging from ancient legends, the northern part of the Roland Continent was not originally a plain, and there used to be a vast forest!
And now the frozen forest. It's just a part of the vast forest that used to be.
But the actions of human beings have to be said to be absolute!
In the face of the vast forest, human beings mobilized a large number of manpower and began to cut and burn wildly!
Originally, the Jīng Spirit Clan was still waiting in the forest, proud and conservative, stubbornly believing that humans would enter the forest, and then they could use their natural advantages to give humans a painful blow!
But they miscalculated.
In the space of almost a year, vast areas of forest have been cut down. The fire burned so that large areas of former verdant green sè disappeared from the northern part of the continent. (And later, after the evolution of time.) Those lands are now the plains of the north).
This practice of human beings. In the end, he finally angered Jīng Ling.
It's a pity that the enraged jīng spirit made another wrong, even stupid decision, because of his overly proud Tian xìng!
Pride and stubbornness, coupled with being burned with anger. As a result, a large number of troops of the Spirit Clan walked out of the forest and actually came to the plain!
With the already slightly fragile body of the jīng spirit clan, it was actually on the plain, facing the heavy cavalry and heavy infantry in strong armor created by humans!!
This kind of behavior of attacking the enemy's strengths with one's own shortcomings. Outcome. In particular, during the previous Dark Ages, I learned a lot of jīng spirit magic. And after absorbing a large number of demon civilizations, among the human race, there have been many "magicians" belonging to human beings!
(The magical civilization of human beings, in fact, was a blank in the past, and it was learned from the jīng spirit and demon clans.) )
Although the magicians of the human race were still far from being as powerful as they are in modern times, at that time, after the humans possessed their own magical powers, they once again weakened the advantage of the jīng spirit clan!
And that war finally ruined the last glimmer of hope for other races!
The scarcity of the population, coupled with the conservative and stubborn tactics, and even the weaponry, the Jīng spirit clan is known for being flashy. Such an army, without the natural protection of the forest, without excellent tactics, without transcendent magical superiority, defeat, is the inevitable result!
Compared with the first "First Mythical War" in which various races united to fight against the demons, which lasted for a full hundred years, the second Mythical War, in which human beings went from weak to strong, only took more than ten years to defeat all other races!
Moreover, at the end of the war, in the face of the dying struggle of the Jīng Spirit Clan, for the first time in the history of the continent, a new name appeared.
"Dragon Knight!"
Falling Snow's low and obscure voice, when he said the word, there was a deep emotion in his eyes.
"Dragon...... Knight?" Dewey's eyes lit up.
"Yes, the dragons and the humans have united, and the proud dragons have actually lowered their heads and sent out the warriors of the dragons to act as the landlines of those powerful warriors among the humans! The powerful human warriors and the dragons have united in everything, and this terrible force has immediately overwhelmed the magical advantage possessed by the jīng spirit clan, and it is gone! The voice of the jīng spirit king has a faint hatred: "For people, you have gained a powerful ally, but for us, it is [**] naked betrayal!" Because in the later stage, the other races have come to their senses, and it seems that the human race has made up its mind to destroy all the other races! So, our various races have united again, but the enemy we faced this time was not the demons, but you humans. The dragon clan, naturally, should have been on our side. It's a pity that at the critical moment of the war, the dragons fell to the humans!!"
Du Wei's mind was spinning quickly, and a certain tempting thought immediately came to his mind. It's just that he still said casually: "Well, there must be some reason for this." ”
"Of course, as I said earlier, this is a betrayal!!The betrayal of the dragons is because of their gods!"
The Spirit King of Jīng held the replica spear of Longcinus, his fingers gradually becoming stronger. Even the metal hilt of the gun, under his unconscious force, made a creaking sound, and with a slight flick of the wrist of the Jīng Spirit King, the handle of the gun was twisted into a ribbed shape by him.
"God, the god of your men, the god who defeated us, but this victory was not honorable...... Because, it was this spear of betrayal that was used!"
The falling snow gasped softly. Trying to calm down the anger in his heart, his eyes became cold.
"This spear, because it was infused with divine power by the gods, was endowed with the blessings of the beast god jīng, the spirit god, the dwarf god, and other gods. As a result, a powerful artifact has been created!!The power of this spear is so powerful that even the gods feel incredible...... Of course, only such a powerful spear can defeat the demons. And according to the agreement after defeating the demon before, this spear should have belonged to the beast god. But at the insistence of your human goddess, it was put in the hands of the human god Ares, who possessed this magical spear, so that after the Second Mythical War, when the war escalated into another great war between the gods...... The gods have finally eaten the bitter fruit of the earth that they have planted!
Ares with this spear. Because the divine power of the gun itself belongs to xìng. It is completely immune to the force of the beast god and the magic power of the jīng spirit god! And the forging level of the dwarf god makes this spear extremely strong and indestructible!! And Ares used this spear to defeat the gods one by one! It can be said that the gods did not lose in the hands of Ares, but in their own hands. ”
In the second divine war, the tribes were completely defeated.
Even the patron saints of the various races were defeated by the human earth gods using their extremely powerful spears. So that the tribes have no protection from their own gods. Even more hopeless.
The end result. That's it, expulsion!!
Humanity did not slaughter all the tribes of the defeated lands. For the gods of mankind have sent down signs and wills to expel all these sinners to the north.
By order of the gods of man. The tribes were called "sinners", and as punishment for the vanquished, they had to leave the continent and go to the far north, all the way north.
The gods set up an ice field and set up a huge magic array, and also used their divine power to build a tall sacred mountain, where the dragons lived, unchanged for thousands of years, acting as the most powerful gateway for mankind.
The ancient mythical era has finally come to an end! Since then, the Roland Continent has ushered in a new era that only belongs to human beings!
Humanity has become the master of this world—the only master!
After listening to this legend, Du Wei sighed deeply. This ancient legend has been lost in history, and if it weren't for the story of King Jīng, there would be no trace of it on the Roland Continent.
However, after the Spirit King finished speaking, he looked at Du Wei with strange eyes: "Although the ancient mythological era has ended, this time I came from the north and entered your human world, all the way here, I carefully observed your world, your civilization, and even your religion...... At this moment, I have two biggest doubts in my heart!"
Looking at Du Wei, the Spirit King smiled bitterly: "Human beings have occupied this continent, erased the traces of the existence of our race, and even buried everything in the former demon race, and even completely deleted the historical records...... However, why is the story of the demon king and the girl so grandly preserved? Since it is necessary to cover up the history and do everything else so thoroughly, why did it seem that such a legend was left behind as if it was not intentional at all? This is really a strange thing. ”
Du Wei also frowned, this is indeed very strange.
"The second question puzzled me even more. I have come all the way south and learned that you humans now believe in the goddess of light...... That is, the goddess of your humanity in the age of mythology. But...... Now your human world, all the doctrines and religions, proclaim that the Goddess is the only god in this world...... He is the only god of your human race. So...... Where did Ares go? Ares, who once defeated the demon gods and defeated the gods with a divine spear, is the most powerful god of your human race! But why, now, even in the records of you human beings, there is no existence of him at all?"
Du Wei was at a loss.
Jīng Spirit King Luoxue said slowly, word by word: "Ares, is the most powerful god that you humans believe in, and his divine power is far superior to your goddess in legends! Moreover, after holding that spear, his divine power has increased even more...... But why, he seems to have disappeared from your human faith and history...... And that spear has become a symbol of your human knightly faith?"
