After listening to Tang Yu's statement, the expression on Jiang Ming's face did not fluctuate much.

The battle for survival territory is always accompanied by blood and tears, not to mention that the human side has always been in a weak position, so even if it is only a place in the Donghuang Federation, the establishment of each new human gathering place represents a cruel battle.

Unless the human side can have an absolute advantage, it is not too surprising to be killed.

And the commander of the city guard army in Lin Du City back then is an example of failure.

But this is also normal, after all, with the strength that Binhai City has, Wang Xiaoyang also took advantage of his strength to recover, and the existence of the hole card of Maxiado, he finally made up his mind to send people to open up a new city.

In this way, the construction of the new city almost failed due to an accident, not to mention other cities.

Although Lindu City could not be compared to Coastal City in terms of the danger of its geographical location or the size of its population, if it wanted to open up a new urban area or expand it, it would only be possible to have at least one, or even two sixth-order evolutionaries, in charge.

Different from the coastal area where Coastal City is located, the location where Lindu City is located has been developed by humans for decades, so there are very few seventh-order or higher level alien beasts that will operate in this vicinity, so it also leads to the overall strength of the alien beasts operating in this area is weak, otherwise if it is replaced by the boundary near Coastal City, those humans who have been driven out of the city are estimated to have been hunted and killed by alien beasts as prey before they have time to establish a settlement.

Take the Sen Yu wolf pack that Jiang Ming cleaned up before he came to Lindu City, the wolf pack with only eight numbers turned out to be the largest one within a radius of dozens of kilometers, and the head wolf with the highest strength in it was only one who barely reached the threshold of the fourth order, and he couldn't even carry half a move of the Demon Spirit Coral.

And if it were to be changed to Coastal City, there were several forest wolf packs that Jiang Ming knew alone, and the largest one of them had gathered hundreds of forest ghost wolves, and the wolf king who led this group was a powerful fifth-order beast, and it was said that ordinary sixth-order evolutionaries might not be able to take it.

This is the gap.

……

Tang Yu's story continued: after the leader desperately killed the fifth-order alien beasts that led the beast tide, some of the alien beasts in the beast tide ran away, and the remaining part was killed by the city guards and hunters who came later, and took almost all the loot.

Including the corpse of that fifth-order alien beast.

After this battle, a large part of the alien beasts around Lindu City were wiped out, so those who were driven out of the city were given a chance to survive, so that they could barely survive in the wild.

It's just that because of the psychological shadow left by the beast tide, that group of people no longer dare to get together to establish a large gathering point, and finally after cruel natural screening, it finally became the current settlement ecology.

Later, the commander of the city guard who succeeded Lin Du Cheng saw that those settlements could survive except for the winter when they had to fight to the death with foreign beasts, so he began to carry out a large-scale relocation of residents.

Of course, the so-called relocation of residents is just a nice term, but in fact, it is to evict people.

Originally, according to the scale of Lindu City, the city could only support 70,000 or 80,000 people at most, but before the first outward migration, the population of the entire city was close to 150,000, and the city was already overwhelmed.

Even if Lindu City expanded several times later, it still couldn't accommodate such a large population.

In this way, a total of about 20,000 or 30,000 people moved out, and at the same time, the ordinary people in the city saw that they were really playing, so they were forced to rationally stop the crazy childbearing, and finally reluctantly alleviated the population contradiction in Lindu City, so that the population who moved out of the city later became smaller and smaller year by year.

Until the last few years, as long as it is not the kind of social waste that cannot be saved completely, few people have been driven out of the city.

"So the dozen or so settlements outside Lindu City are all problems left over from the past?" Jiang Ming finally concluded, "But it's not right, if that's the case, shouldn't they just have such a few people?" ”

Tang Yu said that a normal settlement has about a hundred people, and at most there can be two or three hundred, but even so, the sum of the dozen or so settlements outside is less than three thousand.

You must know that there were so many people driven out of Lindu City back then, even if half of them died for various reasons, then the other half should have 10,000 people after more than ten or twenty years of reproduction, right?

"Because there were many people who didn't choose to stay here in Lindu City back then." Tang Yu replied honestly, "The tragedy caused by that beast tide is vivid, so after leaving Lindu City, many people chose to go to other cities in groups, wanting to find a way to survive elsewhere. ”

"And even among the people who stay, Lin Ducheng also has the talent to withdraw the policy to absorb the population."

"Every year, the city will go to the school-age population of those settlements for free to perform awakening rituals, and as long as they can awaken their abilities, they can bring their parents back to live in the city."

In this world, the conditions for human beings to awaken their abilities have always been a mystery, so the descendants of those with powerful abilities may not be able to awaken, but maybe two parents who are just ordinary people can also give birth to a child with outstanding talent.

For example, Jiang Ming's eldest brother is such an example.

So it's not surprising that Lin Ducheng would formulate such a system.

As for allowing those who have awakened their abilities to bring their parents back, Jiang Ming thinks that firstly, he may want to use family affection to bind these capable people who have no feelings for the city, and secondly, he should hope that those whose parents can regain their abilities.

It's not very probable, but what if.

It's just that Jiang Ming also thought of the hunting team he saw outside the city at that time, and the person Jiang Ming at the head could clearly sense the aura fluctuations in the other party's body, which meant that the other party should be an awakened person.

In this way, not all people will give up their clansmen who have been with them for many years for the sake of life in the city after awakening their abilities.

"That spirit core, it seems to be the right gift." Jiang Ming muttered to himself in a low voice.

"That, Mr. Jiang Ming, do you have anything else to ask?" Tang Yu looked at Jiang Ming, who didn't know what he was muttering, and asked cautiously.

"It's gone." Jiang Ming, who came back to his senses, took out the five federal coins that he had prepared a long time ago and slapped them in front of Tang Yu, "Now there is one last thing, come with me to the place where elves are sold in the city later, and do me a favor." ”
