Chapter 627: Divergence

In twenty hours, the sun will go out.

Zhao Yuan was notified to the meeting hall for a meeting.

Through the understanding of the past few days, Zhao Yuan has a new understanding of the City of Exile. The City of Exile is a highly liberal and highly privatized city, where both life and property are protected by a code of fairness, justice and freedom.

Because of this code, the prosperity of the penal city was formed.

According to historical records, when the barracks continent was divided, the canyon of the penal city was actually a huge prison, and the people who closed it were all extremely vicious, in order to build a civilized society, mankind launched the code, and countless people with lofty ideals came one after another, and after hundreds of years, finally maintained the dignity of the code.

It was also because of that battle that the Exiled City became what it is today.

In the City of Exile, everyone swears to fight for the laws of the City of Exile, and it is everyone's duty to protect the City of Exile.

According to the Codex, there is only one type of people in the Exiled City who are not subject to the Codex, and that is the legendary Invincible Hunter.

Of course, there is money to go out, but there is no money to contribute, and there are many unwritten rules in the exiled city, for example, when there is a beast tide every ten years, some owners of the Qiong tree will distribute the Qiong leaves for free.

Here, it is worth mentioning that in the city of exile, every Qiong tree has a master.

In this understanding, Zhao Yuan also had some in-depth understanding of Sky City. Unlike the City of Exile, which advocates fairness, justice and freedom, the Sky City is a dictatorial city, everything is decided by the city lord, and the entire space city is almost the private property of the Yan city lord's family.

It is precisely because of the different concepts that the city in the sky and the city of exile are incompatible.

Of course, in addition to the different concepts, the humans in Sky City all have a sense of superiority, because they used to be the masters of the Barracks Continent, while the City of Exile is a place where some thieves, robbers, and rapists gather......

......

Zhao Yuan attended the meeting alone, and Huang Dong and others were not qualified to attend the meeting.

The council hall is a large and bright building, but it is very simple inside, with a few benches.

In the elder seat of the council hall, there were already nine elders of high moral character. To Zhao Yuan's surprise, he originally thought that those respected elders should be masters, but they were all ordinary people, but the people who attended the meeting were all masters, exuding a powerful aura, although they were just sitting there quietly, they were like mountains.

The meeting began in a noisy and noisy manner, with people arguing with each other about something, like a vegetable market.

After half an hour, Zhao Yuan understood what everyone was arguing about.

It turned out that the scale of this beast tide surpassed what had been recorded in history, and in the face of the ocean-like beast tide, everyone felt extreme pressure.

The entire city of exile is terrified.

In this case, it has been suggested that humans should form death squads to drive away beasts and relieve the pressure after the sun goes out.

Others believe that it is better to build a high city and prepare more weapons in case of emergency.

Some people also suggested that those beasts were all here for Qiong Ye, why not just pick Qiong Ye away, and then avoid the edge for the time being, and then return to the exiled city after the beast tide has passed......

......

Listening to all kinds of suggestions, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

In addition to agreeing with the human initiative to attack, Zhao Yuan believes that other suggestions are not feasible.

Prepare more weapons, how much is appropriate? Zhao Yuan already knew that this exiled city was extremely barren, not only the lack of metal, but even the materials used to make bows were extremely rare, and the so-called combat weapons were nothing more than daggers, and the better ones were axes and long knives, and there were not many long weapons like spears.

To put it simply, the weapons of the Exiled City are not suitable for long-range combat, and the only way to defend against the beast is to fight the beast in close combat.

Thinking of the fierce beast covered in bone spurs, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, he couldn't imagine how the thin body of a human being could fight hand-to-hand in that beast tide.

If it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that it will be trampled into meat puree in an instant.

As for picking the leaves, that's just talk, because there are very strict rules for picking the leaves of the tree, and once the amount is exceeded, the tree will wither and even die, and it will take at least decades to regain its vitality.

"Alright!" Fang Yong City Lord waved his hand, and the council hall fell silent.

"Everyone, I have consulted a lot of historical events, in history, the largest beast tide has been at least a thousand years, and the number of beast tides that almost turned the exiled city into ruins is far less than the number of beast tides this time, that is to say, this beast tide has broken the number of any previous beast tides, then, it means that this beast tide crisis will be the most serious crisis in the exiled city, it is very likely that after the beast tide, the exiled city will become a barren land, hundreds of thousands of residents in the city will be displaced, some old, weak, sick and disabled will also lose their shelter......”

Fang Yong's voice was a little hoarse, making people feel inexplicably heavy.

"City Lord, since you can't be spared, why don't you give it a go!" A big man stood up suddenly, arrogant.

Zhao Yuan couldn't help but take a deep look at the man, who was majestic, wearing a black vest leather armor, and the muscles of his exposed arms were bulging, as if he contained endless strength.

"City Lord, what the third said is right, we can't sit still, even if we die, we must die on the battlefield and die vigorously, instead of being chased and trampled by fierce beasts and dying without dignity!" A man with a giant axe on his back also stepped forward.

"City lord think twice, this barracks canyon, there is a natural danger that can be honored, every beast tide, we have survived safely, why should we take the risk of taking the initiative, if the initiative to attack angers the beast herd, wouldn't it be self-defeating?" A gray-bearded elder stood up and said tremblingly.

"That is, you died in battle, but it was a great battle, what should we do?" another elder chimed in.

“......”

All of a sudden, everyone was arguing again, and one by one they were fighting because the green tendons were bulging and the spat was flying.

After some arguments, Zhao Yuan understood.

Now, it is divided into two factions, one is the radical faction dominated by hunters, who have always believed that they should take the initiative to attack and combat the arrogance of the beasts, and the other faction is dominated by ordinary people, who believe that they should stick to the natural dangers as before, and wait for work at ease, there is no need to take risks, in case they anger the beasts, it will not be beautiful.

The disagreement is getting more and more serious, and the two sides have reached the point of slapping the table and smashing the bench.

The city lord of Fang Yong appeased everyone again, and then announced the vote.

Without any suspense, the numerical conservatives triumphed, and a group of hunters angrily got up and left.

When the meeting ended, Zhao Yuan was still sitting on the stool in a daze, and he didn't even have time to speak, and the matter had already settled......

......

"It's over?" Zhao Yuan looked at Fang Yong who came over.

"There's nothing I can do about it. Fang Yong shook his head, a wry smile on the corner of his mouth.

"How did the beast tide survive before?" Zhao Yuan asked.

"When the sun goes out, they flood into every corner of the penal city, eating all the edible greenery in the penal city, and some of the ferocious herbivores gather in the inner city barracks to try to break through the human defenses......"

Under Fang Yong's brief introduction, Zhao Yuan understood why those elders tended to be more guarded, because most of the beast tides in the past were sadistic in the outer city of the exiled city, and did not affect the inner city.

"This beast tide is different from the past. Zhao Yuan reminded.

"I also know that I am here, so I asked you to participate in the meeting. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Yuan couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't understand what would happen to him.

"Are you an exile from Sky City?" Fang Yong City Lord stared at Zhao Yuan with deep eyes, as if he wanted to see through Zhao Yuan's soul.

"Exile?" Zhao Yuan was stunned again.

"I've checked the population files of the Exiled City, but there is no information about you, and no one in the entire Exiled City knows you...... As for Huang Dong and them, I have already asked them on the side, he met you when he was hunting in the meteorite belt......"

"Well, I'm an exile. Zhao Yuan didn't want to dwell on this issue, no matter what, he always needed an identity, as for what identity, he didn't care at all.

"Or maybe it's a spy. Fang Yong's gaze became extremely sharp.

"Hehe, let's say, what do you want me to do?" Zhao Yuan smiled.

"Now is an extraordinary period, it is absolutely impossible for the Lord of Yan City to send a master like you to the Exile City to spy on the news, then, you should be an exile who committed a crime in the Sky City......" Fang Yong saw Zhao Yuan's calm expression, and his sharp eyes eased a lot.

"It really doesn't matter who I am, it's imperative to get the Exiled City through now. Zhao Yuan said lightly.
