Cthulhu Gonfalon
Chapter 582
(The last chapter is actually Chapter 122. I am confused in the morning and I am confused. Now the chapter name has been revised. This chapter is Chapter 123)
The capital of the country of Qianquan, named “Yuquan City”, was known as the most beautiful city in the main plane before the appearance of the Nether City. It builds the walls with beautiful stones like white jade. When the weather is good, the walls under the bright sun are like a huge jade. It is really beautiful.
It has always been called "the heaven of the world" or "the beautiful city of the kingdom of God." Not only did the poets write countless songs to praise it, even the gods often descended into the incarnation, the most common of which is the goddess of spring water.
The middle **** of this natural **** system likes to linger between the mountains and the springs. The core requirement for believers is to "protect the springs" and "increase the springs". Other things don't care, it's good and evil, it's soldiers. It is a thief, and He is not in the heart.
It is precisely because of his attitude that he was taken by the gods of the human beings as a springboard to push the forces into the Taikoo Forest and the Broken Cloud Mountains, and fully support the country of the thousand springs.
As the capital of the country of Qianquan, Yuquan City is really a spring in the city. These springs are not like the famous spring city of Qilu in the earth. They are from the spewing of groundwater, but they are three-point natural and seven-point man-made. When the city was built, more than a dozen legendary magicians joined forces in the city. A portal to the water element plane is built below. Through the portal, the clear water flows continuously into the ground, and flows out of the ground along the well-cut springs, turning into a wonderful sight of “one city and thousands of springs”.
In this city, there are not many more white jade-like walls, just one thousand springs.
When the city was first built, the country of Qianquan was only in its embryonic form, and the name was not yet determined. It was after the completion of this city of Qianquan that the goddess of spring water came down to incarnate and personally blessed the country and named it "the country of thousands of springs."
However, behind this beautiful city is the blood of the corpse.
There is no such thing as a thousand springs in the world, and there is no Yuquan City. In the southeast of the Broken Cloud Mountains, it is a rolling hilly area. It depends on the Broken Cloud Mountains in the north, the golden desert in the south, the Great Plains in the east, and the west. Taikoo forest. Dwarves, gnomes and other races live here and live a peaceful life.
After the rise of mankind, the battle with the orcs was led by the **** of the knight and fell to the bottom. Then the **** of vengeance went up, and he changed his strategy, leaving only a part of humanity to keep the fertile land between the three mountains of the cloud, the gray stone and the behemoth, to prevent the orc's power from expanding further, and the rest of the human beings were sent out. Attacking east.
This is the famous "East Movement" in the history of mankind. In this war that has lasted for thousands of years, humanity has annihilated countries that originally occupied the gnomes, small people, dwarves, and other ethnic groups in the eastern part of the continent, and established the twenty-eight city federation in the most fertile eastern plains of the world. - That is, the embryonic form of the Blue Moon Kingdom.
Since then, human beings have been divided into two branches. One believes in the sun god, attacks toward the north, completely destroys the dwarf kingdom, establishes the sacred angel kingdom, and the other marches toward the southwest, catching the elf gods and being annihilated by the mystery master. The tribe was hit hard, uniting some of the forces of the natural gods, destroying the dwarves and gnomes in the hills and establishing their country.
In the process of natural killing of the wilderness, the "smart people" who were famous for small machinery manufacturing were almost extinct, and the remaining remnants left the main plane under the protection of their gods, and went to some unknown. The world of name; more than a dozen large and small gnome states have all perished, and the gnomes have become famous wandering races on the mainland; only the dwarves have been stubbornly resisting with their strong body and unrelenting fighting spirit.
Over the years, about every thirty or fifty years, the country of Thousand Springs will organize an army to attack the dwarf kingdom of the Broken Cloud Mountains. On the one hand, it is the treasure of the local minerals and the dwarf kingdom. On the other hand, it is also trying to do things. The dwarfs are forced to leave the main plane like a small man, but they have a heart.
Every time they prepare to attack the Broken Mountain Range, they will set up a temporary military camp outside the main entrance of Yuquan City, and hang out a recruiting order, which will recruit a large number of adventurers every time. By the time of the official war, these adventurers are naturally rushing forward to retreat, specializing in dangerous missions. Although most of the people who survived are full of pots, they can eventually survive and return to the full load, often less than one-third.
Of course, it is impossible for a person to die, and every time the country of Qianquan will have to pay a large pension. If not, the adventurers are not fools. Who will risk the three risks of death and death? Many injured or elderly adventurers are actually coming for this pension.
What they want to earn is not that rich, but that is the cost of life.
This is the sorrow of the poor, and there is not much difference in any place.
However, this time the situation is somewhat different. Outside the east gate of Yuquan City, the temporary military camp was once again established. The recruiting order was once again hoisted. However, most of the applicants were recruited to be healthy, as usual. Even the cowardly gathering of more courageous applicants did not happen at all.
Responsible for recruiting is an Earl of the Thousand Springs Kingdom. He is sitting on the high platform of the military camp at this moment, watching the situation of the recruitment office under the recruitment command. After a long time, he sighed deeply.
"Adult, what's the problem?" asked the crony next to him.
"This time, we have not recruited a lot of cannon fodder."
"There is no cannon fodder, let the militia go to the cannon fodder," said one of his sons. "As long as the elite is coming, it will be fine."
The count shook his head and did not explain it to his son in detail, but his brow was locked.
Dead outsiders, do not feel bad, die of their own people, distressed!
Although the life and death of civilians is not a big deal, this time it has broken the head and it is hard to say later. If the Broken Mountain Range is to be exploited, the country will tend to let the militia be a cannon fodder instead of recruiting low-level adventurers to save the pension.
This is of course a good thing in the short run, saving a lot of money, but it is not good for the long-term planning of the entire country.
The people of the country of Thousand Springs are eager to hear the war, on the one hand because of the benefits of war, and on the other hand because of the less damage they bring to them. If every war has to lose a large number of militia, it will be a heavy blow to the hearts of the people.
Over time, the war is no longer a chance for the civilians of the country of Thousand Springs to get rich and get rich, but a heavy burden.
All of this, of course he can't see it. But how can you not worry about this future?
