"Three counties have been at war with each other for hundreds of years, but the war has not progressed at all?"
In the wooden house in the village, Su Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at Mo Xiaosheng standing upright next to him, and said with some surprise.
A hundred years of fighting, a waste of people and money, and a battle between monks. The result has not changed at all in a hundred years. Who can believe it?
Mo Xiaosheng nodded, looking at Su Chen's disbelieving eyes, he quickly said: "It is indeed true. In the past hundred years, there have been hundreds of battles, both open and covert, both large and small, but the final result is that the three parties' territory has not expanded at all. , but lost a lot of people.”
"That's why we have been recruiting people from outside the country, but in recent years there have been fewer and fewer people available, so the standards have been changed again and again."
Hearing this, Su Chen said calmly: "What about the people you recruited?"
"Where have they all gone?"
"Well…"
Mo Xiaosheng was at a loss for words. He tilted his head and his eyes wandered, not knowing what to say.
"Are you treating them all as victims?"
At this time, Su Chen said calmly again.
In response to this, Mo Xiaosheng coughed twice and was speechless.
Seeing this, Su Chen knew that just as he said, the people recruited were all sacrificed as cannon fodder in the front row. After all, they were not one of his own, and no one would care if they died.
If you do this, no wonder the battle can last for a hundred years.
"What's the difference between constantly changing your requirements and not exercising restraint at all, and killing the goose that lays the goose to lay eggs?"
Su Chen shook his head. He couldn't find any young adults, so he turned his attention to the younger ones. When there was no one around, he looked at the younger ones. In the end, even the younger ones were gone. At this time, it was time to "eat whatever you want" The old, weak, women and children are what people need.
This is an abyss, an abyss that, once opened, can no longer be closed, but will instead expand outward.
When the thing that filled the abyss disappeared, the real horror was initially unveiled...
Mo Xiaosheng scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "It's useless to tell me this. I just follow orders and do things."
Su Chen shook his head and stopped dwelling on this topic. He changed the subject and said, "You said before that Shanjun and Xijun will also arrive in the next two days?"
Hearing this, Mo Xiaosheng thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's the past two days, probably the next two days."
"After all, the recruitment process has been going on for so many years, and a set of processes has evolved. Each will stagger the other. Basically, one party will take the lead and the other will follow."
Originally, he came here today, caught someone and left, and then the next day it was Shan County or Xi County's turn. It was always like this.
But judging from the current situation, he is destined to run into two groups of people.
"Tell me about the situation in your three counties."
Su Chen nodded slightly and asked again.
When Mo Xiaosheng heard this, he immediately sorted out his words in his mind. He knew that Su Chen came from somewhere else. Since he wanted to join here, he naturally had to figure out the structure here first.
"We are now in an extremely remote place on the Eastern Continent, you should know this."
Mo Xiaosheng said seriously: "Compared to the other three continents, the Eastern Continent is the only continent where the civilization of cultivating immortals is relatively intact, but it has also lost a lot."
"I have seen it mentioned in ancient books that the civilization of cultivating immortals is extremely prosperous, and the Ascension Realm is no more than an ant in the world. The truly strong one must be a powerful person in the Dao Realm Realm!"
Having said this, Mo Xiaosheng's eyes clearly revealed a look of yearning. He could realize the benefits of cultivating immortals in the Ascension Realm, so what kind of scenery would it be like in the more powerful Proving Dao Realm.
"I just don't know what happened next. All the powerful people in Tianwaitian who have attained the Tao realm disappeared mysteriously overnight, and no one knows their whereabouts."
"After that, the world was surprised to find that the road to immortality had come to an end. The last stage of the ascension realm was the end of immortality. Gradually, the world was unable to pursue higher realms, and cultivation of immortality gradually declined."
"You know all this?"
Su Chen nodded calmly. He only had a partial understanding, and he knew that the immortal road was crossed by the heavenly path. After half the years of Yuanhui, Tianwaitian would definitely not stand still.
Seeing this, Mo Xiaosheng continued: "I don't know about the other three continents, but the Eastern Continent is controlled by the main pavilion, and under the main pavilion, there are sub-cabinets with regions, prefectures, and states under them. , county, and hierarchies are clearly defined.”
"And where we are is Xiaocangzhou, a very remote place."
Su Chen's eyes showed contemplation and said, "Do you three counties form Xiaocang Prefecture?"
Mo Xiaosheng shook his head, "It's not three counties. In addition to Jiang County, Xi County, and Shan County, there is also An County."
"Anjun?"
Su Chen raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, but Anjun doesn't like fighting and has always remained neutral, so he did not participate in the fight between the three counties."
"By the way, our current location is actually within Anjun's territory."
"Um?!"
Su Chen's eyes clearly flashed with surprise. He was so good at playing? When arresting people, they go to other people's territory to arrest them.
But then, he was keenly aware of something. Anjun remained neutral, but innocent people in the area under his jurisdiction were arrested and sent to death. Anjun was so indifferent?
Mo Xiaosheng obviously knew what he was thinking. He spread his hands and said, "When this happened, it stands to reason that Anjun should have stepped in to stop it, but it didn't. Even coming here for recruitment was a direct order from above."
After a pause, he added: "That's been the case from the beginning."
"That's how it started..."
Su Chen had some doubts in his heart, which Zhongli could understand, but according to what Mo Xiaosheng said, the senior officials of the three counties knew about it in advance, so they issued such an order.
In other words, this area is actually a place that Anjun gave up?
At this thought, he shook his head secretly. Even if Anjun was suspicious, it was not the point he should pay attention to.
The most urgent task now is to find the "Reborn One", see which camp he is in, and then take action to solve it and head to the next place as early as possible.
Seeing that Su Chen was silent, Mo Xiaosheng looked at him and said, "The current situation in Xiaocang Province is like this. If you join us, we can ensure that you will be successful and have no worries about food and clothing."
"But on the other hand, I don't know how long this battle for territory will last. You have to stay."
Thinking of a battle that lasts for a hundred years, and who knows how long it will be in the future, Mo Xiaosheng can't help but feel tired. Even if he has a life span of nearly a thousand years, he doesn't want to waste a hundred or even hundreds of years here.
He should do something more meaningful.
For example, look at the world.
Hearing this, Su Chen glanced at him, smiled thoughtfully, and said nothing.
Stay forever?
Don’t even think about it, this is impossible!
But when Mo Xiaosheng saw him smiling, he thought he agreed, said goodbye and left the room.
