Chapter 388: Dancing in the bloody rain, the conflict zone, who is the killer? (Part )
The Central Continent is the largest continent left after Laplace opened up the Lingus Sea.

It has been prosperous for too long.

Oh no.

The long period of prosperity was just an illusion created by being bathed in the glittering morning light of the Asura Kingdom, a country ranked second in comprehensive national strength in the six worlds and number one in the Central Continent.

The three northern kingdoms in the northwest are located in the cold north. There is no good land suitable for large-scale cultivation of crops, and the sparse population has affected the development of handicrafts. They can only find another way and rely on magic and magic tools as the direction of development.

Can they be called prosperous?
No.

The magical kingdoms that cannot even achieve agricultural self-sufficiency are extremely envious of Asura's fertile land, geographical location, and population.

That vast, extremely cold, poor area in the northeast has nothing to do with prosperity.

Human beings are lucky to be able to fill their stomachs when they are born there.

In the southeast, that is, the three small countries on the east side of the Wanglong Mountains were not having a good time either:

There is a disputed area in the north, with many small countries. There are constant wars all year round, and it is a mess. They harass the border at any time and are eyeing it covetously.

To the south is the Kingdom of Wanglong, which serves as a transportation hub port connecting the east and west of the world, with a developed economy and strong military.

Naturally, the nobles of these three countries are naturally anxious, very sensitive, and particularly fond of political struggles, holding on to power in their hands even tighter than when they were playing glue.

Of course, they were also envious of Asura's fertile land, geographical location, and population.

You can only be jealous.

The Kingdom of Asura is surrounded by the Red Dragon Mountains. As long as the two natural barriers of the Red Dragon's upper and lower jaws are controlled, almost no one can get their hands on Asura.

Not to mention the Kingdom of Asura, which was established by Ars after the First War between Humans and Demons and has a history of more than 5,000 years.

In short, in the Central Continent, except for the Kingdom of Asura and the Kingdom of Wanglong, no other country can be considered a strong country.

This is the fundamental reason why the adventurer culture is prevalent in the six-sided world, but there are not many adventurers in Asura:

Those humans who possess fighting spirit and magical abilities can only rely on their innate talents and can only kill monsters in exchange for money.

They are no different from hunters.

They essentially make a living by hunting.

But the people of Asra are different.

They can farm, do handicrafts, and work like slaves for the nobles.

There are thousands of ways to make a living, which is a blessing left by our ancestors.

This is why Laplace chose this land with fertile soil, suitable climate, and the natural barrier of the Red Dragon Mountains to take advantage of the First Human-Demon War to take on Ars as his human world representative and establish the Kingdom of Asura.

This place is not only very suitable for resisting the invasion of demons, but also very suitable for humans to obtain a stable development space and improve the various technologies they have taught, so as to facilitate future recycling and achieve their own goals.

Asura should have the strongest national power in the six worlds.

Because this is the inevitable result of careful selection after field investigation.

However, "should" means that this is not the case.

Logically speaking, how come the Asura Kingdom, which has such a long and powerful history, is still ranked in the top two in the world? Shouldn't it be firmly in first place?
No, because there is another country that has a powerful national strength that can rival the Asura Kingdom.

It is the Holy Empire of Miris, a theocratic empire founded by Saint Miris himself during the First War between Humans and Demons, located on the Miris Continent.

This saint is as legendary as Ars, because when the Holy Empire of Milis was established, the now prosperous continent of Milis was just a desert.

In this light, it is no wonder that this human being is called a 'saint'.

After all, it has almost been confirmed that Ars is the human agent chosen by the demigod Laplace. The rise of the Asura Kingdom is closely related to Laplace's desire to maintain the prosperity of the human race and develop his own technology.

Saint Miris is completely on his own.
Sadly, it’s still not.

Saint Milis was the apostle of God and Man during the First War between Man and Demon.

Although according to historical records, he later turned against the gods and used the power given to him by the gods to counterattack the demons, in essence it was the result of careful selection.

Therefore, the two most powerful countries in the six-sided world today are nothing more than the butterfly effect produced by Laplace's game with humans and gods.

Human efforts are meaningless.

It's really fun.

This is the truth about the development of six-sided world civilization
Laplace, the man-god.

God's intentions influence human history.
Olstead did not lie to me, his words are verified by a lot of history
Man-God
The Holy Empire of Milis.
Basically, apart from the healing technique, there is no other healing magic that is passed on to outsiders.
It seems.

I will also visit the Holy Empire of Milis in the future.

It seems that the lady’s family home is over there.

There is a reason
——"Excerpt from the Six-Sided World Exploration Notes - Aisha Greyrat, Leader of the Asura Magicians Group"

-

"This is the truth about human power in the Central Continent, do you understand? I used to hear those idiots under the general shouting every day about sending troops to the north and south, robbing money and women. Ugh! Bullshit!
The longer he survives, the stronger he will be! Isn't that what Asura is like! Haha! If you ask me, isn't our little piece of land pretty good? "

"Oh, that's enough! Why the hell are you pretending to be so literary! If you don't want to rob a woman, what the hell are you doing here?"

"What are you doing? Fucking women! Haha, and how can this be called robbery? You and I can stand on the side of justice! They are Asura's spies! Do you understand what a spy is? They should be my slaves!"

"? How much did you drink last night to make you so drunk? How can you be sure that they are Asura's spies? And even if they are, wouldn't they be the general's private food if they were caught?"

"If I say she is a spy, then she is a spy. She has to be a spy even if she is not. The general is not here, so what's wrong with me doing something? I will still fuck your mother."

"Fuck you. Shouldn't spies be left to the general?"

"If I say they are spies, then they are spies? They are spies now, but after tonight, hehe, they will no longer be spies. You pick one, I pick one, and the remaining two girls will be sold.

No, I won't sell it! Throw it to the 'farming town' and let those men raise it. I'll give it to them in the future. This is called appeasement, do you understand? Use kindness and force, and give a sweet date right after killing it. "

"You are really something, kid."

The rain was pouring.

The words used were vulgar and inexplicable, and there were noises of cursing and swearing. Along with the sound of horse hooves in the early morning, on the narrow path, two bearded men in tattered armor were staggering on their horses.

The man in front was still holding the "Asura Intelligence" with crooked handwriting in his hand, protecting it in his arms to prevent it from getting wet by the rain.

The knowledge of the six-sided world is only in the hands of a few people, and the books are almost all handwritten.

Of course, this "book" which is called a handwritten book but is actually a doodle book does not contain any content about the heroes and apostles of Ars and Saint Milis, but only some information about the territory of the Asura Kingdom and the distribution of some important military towns in the upper and lower jaws of the Red Dragon. It seems that these two people are two leaders who march and fight.

But they can only be regarded as tattered armor and broken swords, eating fat mules along the way, eating either a few handfuls or a few grasses, and making remarks that are touching in terms of intelligence.

They both look more like two bandits.

However, if these two were really called "bandit brothers", they would not agree.

He is really not a bandit.

Two months ago, they had experienced a battle that stretched over 20 kilometers, with a total of 1,000 people participating, and lasted for seven days and seven nights.
A fierce fight.

How can you defame someone's innocence like this?
With a click, the mule's hooves stepped into the destroyed and burned farmland and waded into the irrigation ditch beside the farmland.

Well, it was intense, but it was just a fight in the village.

And it was a one-sided massacre.

It is a story about dozens of bandits suppressing rioting villagers.

The location of Bandit Brother is in the northwestern corner of the Land of Conflict, in a small basin surrounded by hills.

The northwest corner of the Land of Conflict is mostly hilly, with many huge plains. However, it is on the lower edge of the Red Dragon Mountain Range, where the mountains are very steep and the basin under their feet is extremely small, with a radius of only thirty kilometers.

It's so biased that no one cares about it. It's like a place no one cares about.

So why are there burned farmlands?

It's funny to say that this town in the mountains on the coast, which is almost isolated from the outside world and has no strategic significance in other countries, is still useful in the eyes of some people:
Precisely because of its remote location and desolate location, it was able to avoid the two-day war between various small countries in the Conflict Land.

Hidden away from the world, it has a natural environment that can produce crops stably.

Of course, it’s just the natural environment.

In terms of humanities, the Land of Conflict has been in constant war, and there are no default universal laws and rules. The ravines in this chaotic land are the most lawless of all.

Even its original owner, the Broz Empire, sometimes forgot its existence.

It's so remote and far away, with only a village of 200 people in a basin. There's really no need to take care of it.

At the beginning of this year, this land was controlled by the newly emerging powerful force in the Land of Conflict - the Malqiyuan Mercenary Kingdom.

The mercenary state system is almost a unique political system unique to the Land of Conflict. The Malqiyuan Mercenary State is a new country announced by Malqiyuan, the mercenary king of the Land of Conflict, at the beginning of the year.

Although it is called a country, it is actually just a huge mercenary group with a fixed territory.

The military and politics are integrated, and the country's power and economic foundation are still on horseback: we will fight whoever pays us to do so.

Even in the event of a major war, the entire country would mobilize. Land is not important, horses are more important than land.

Because when the whole army goes out to fight, this country on horseback can only take care of its head and not its butt. As long as the army is still there, it can rob and occupy. If the people are gone, then everything will be lost.

This is the simple idea of ​​'King' Malqiyuan, who has been a mercenary all his life.

But a 'king' is a 'king' after all. Now that he has established a country, although he is well aware that he does not have the ability to govern the land like other empires, he has already sat in this position and it is inevitable that he wants to give it a try.

Therefore, the mercenary king Mal Qiyuan chose this test field:
He killed the knights and government officials originally sent by the Broz Empire to govern the town and seized the land.

At the same time, during the war, mercenaries participated in the war and threw in the captured men, women, boys and girls, and put together a very primitive "farming town".

Why don't you choose your own people? Who among the mercenaries is willing to farm? If there is demand, just grab it, okay?
No one went there.

Four months passed like this.

This 'farming town', after being governed, is a complete mess.

Malqiyuan randomly matched the captured women who were originally "laundresses" in the army with the slave men, and then gave the boys and girls who were supposed to be sold by the traffickers to these men and women, forming families.

So that they can farm in peace.

The slaves were naturally grateful.

However, this behavior caused strong dissatisfaction among his troops, but the mercenary king suppressed it with his own prestige.

Then, two months ago, something unexpected happened.

The news of the great transfer spread quickly. After hearing the news, Malqiyuan immediately smelled the wonderful scent of war, so the entire army set out to the south to prepare to occupy a suitable position in advance. If there really was a war, he would make a fortune!

Therefore, less than a hundred people were left to guard this "farming town" with more than a thousand people.

This made the remaining guards very happy.

If there is a war, it means that when the troops of the mercenary country return, this "farming town" will have fresh blood to replenish.

Sooner or later, there will be new blood anyway, so is there no need to obey the Mercenary King's wishes and carefully maintain the current 'Farming Town'?
In this situation, with the passage of time and the resentment accumulated in the past, the remaining mercenaries released their long-suppressed desires without any restraint.

——The beautiful "village women" who were previously abducted from "Gengzhong Town" were brought back to life, regardless of whether any of them were pregnant or had already started a family with other men in "Gengzhong Town".

Let’s gather everyone together and have a good time first.

Of course, after this situation lasted for a week, the 'riot' naturally occurred.

The men of Farming Town gathered more than 300 people in one night and launched an attack on the mercenaries who were camping at the exit of the mountain stream in the basin and were in high spirits.

The results were very significant at the beginning, killing more than 20 people in a row.

However, when the other mercenaries reacted, they formed a military formation naked and attacked the original captives.

It was a plain and bloody suppression.

The mercenaries killed as a matter of course this time, venting their accumulated resentment.

But now, as many as 30% of the male captives in Gengzhong Town have been suppressed.

The crops that were supposed to be harvested in the autumn were burned by the hundreds of organized soldiers and the captives.

But the mercenaries are not worried because their mercenary king will return and bring more wealth.

The matter was very simple, but during the subsequent interrogation, they found some problems.

For example, this "rebellion" was manipulated by someone.

The culprit turned out to be a red-haired female swordsman who had never been seen before and seemed to have fallen from the sky.

According to the details of the interrogation, the female swordsman was wearing
Maid outfit???
