Chapter 394 Demon Hate
Judging from the long history of this continent, since the rise of the human race, all other monsters and ghosts have been swept to the corners of the four corners, lingering in the place called the barren land by the human race.
But since ancient times, there has been a saying that prosperity and decline, and destiny cannot last long.
After tens of thousands of years of glory, the human race is now slowly desolate.
Excluding the land occupied by the monster race in the mainland, the remaining human race territory is divided into dozens of parts, and there are more than ten powerful countries to rule.
Conquering each other, the war continues, and it has lasted for thousands of years.
Although the protracted war forged batch after batch of strong men, the heritage of countless human races was also consumed during the war.
A large amount of essence was lost meaninglessly and wasted in the civil war.
In general, there has been some progress in the millennium war, but it is so insignificant compared to the loss of regression.
Up to now, on the mainland, all the dynasties are full of natural and man-made disasters, and turmoil is everywhere.
And within the dynasty, the monarch is fatuous, the officials are greedy, and the people at the bottom are struggling to survive.
A large number of monsters also appeared in the basic living place of the human race, and countless ghosts and legends continued, witnessing the chaos in this world.
It can be said that the human race dragged itself down alive.
Otherwise, if it was placed thousands of years ago, when the human race reached its peak, not to mention the demon king of Huangshan, even the demons in the territory of the human race would not be seen in a hundred miles.
Often the demons are just in their early days, and the humane masters who are monitoring them from all over the place dare to subdue the demons, and they can't make a difference at all.
The cathode must be reversed, and the yang must decline.
After thousands of years of turmoil, the power of the human race has weakened, and the demon race has also begun to rise.
Just like the Huangshan Demon King today.
"That's why it's right to clean up these demons and goblins first in the four prefectures of Tonghe Dongjiang Province."
Rubbing his brows, Zhong Yu swept away the information that kept flashing through his mind just now, and decided what to do now.
Although the entire four eastern states of Dongjiang Province fell and lost most of their territory, the people in the occupied areas were also ravaged by those monsters, and it was difficult to survive.
But these things have only been in the past half a year, and the time is not long.
And in half a year, these areas were not snatched all at once, there was such a process.
This can also be sure of one thing, that is, the population of counties and counties within the four states will not be completely lost, and a considerable number of people have survived.
After all, there are only so many monsters, and even in their heyday they did not exceed 100,000.
With such a small number of people spread out over such a vast area, and a considerable part of the army had to be assembled to deal with the Ming court's counterattack, how could it really kill too many people.
These monsters only captured some major cities, and did not harm many villages and towns scattered in the countryside.
Therefore, among the vast countryside around the city, there are still quite intact villages, which retain a large part of the population.
Besides, there is no need for those monsters to go to the countryside to find those farmers who are smelly, tough, rough-skinned and thick-fleshed to eat.
In the major cities, those pampered residents with fine skin and tender meat are enough for them to eat for quite a while.
Even in many cities captured by monsters, those residents were not killed, but were raised in captivity.
From time to time, the monster picks out some people who are relatively tender and have a good taste to eat. For the preservation of food, these monsters who are used to the hard life are quite fancy.
It's not good to kill so many people at once, and it will rot within a few days. It's better to raise it. When you want to eat it, you can choose a delicious one. It's more cost-effective.
So up to now, there are a total of 26 county capitals in the four prefectures in the east of Dongjiang Province, with more than one million people in the city. In the past half a year, only more than 500,000 people have been eaten by demons, which is not much.
The number of monsters is also continuously decreasing, especially during wartime. If you are dazed and red-eyed on the battlefield, there is no mood to go to the rear to eat people for entertainment.
Humans in those counties are quite lucky to be able to preserve such a large population.
But now with the end of the war, those monsters who fought bloody battles in the front and threw their heads and blood have also returned to the rear, lived in the city and became masters of monsters, pampered and pampered.
With enough free time, these monsters are like nouveau riche, consuming the precious food in their eyes, that is, human beings.
And as the taste becomes more and more used, it slowly becomes more delicious.
Why does this one want to eat the breasts of human women, that one likes to eat the eyes of children, and the other wants to eat human butt meat, which is chewy.
Being so picky, waste of food is inevitable. Although there are only more than 30,000 monsters left, the remaining hundreds of thousands of people in the city still cannot withstand consumption, and the number has decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Under such a situation, Zhong Yu had to speed up, before these people were eaten up by those monsters, he recovered the entire four counties in the east and saved the people from the fire and water.
After all, Zhong Yu wanted to rule this world, to incorporate it into the many worlds he controlled, and to become one of them.
And the first step of this great goal is to have a solid rear as the foundation for advancing the world.
Now that the east is being ravaged by demons, all the gentry and bureaucrats have been chased and killed, and the rest are fleeing to other safe places. The four dilapidated state capitals are very suitable.
There are no gentry classes that are deeply rooted in the local area and have profound influence, like cancerous tumors.
The entire four state capitals in the eastern part of Dongjiang Province can be described as a piece of pure land, just waiting for Zhong Yu to receive it and then smash it into a piece of iron.
But in the mountains and forests behind Dongjiang Province, the power of the monsters has been exhausted, and there is no possibility of becoming a climate within a hundred years, and there is no need to worry about the future.
The only concern is the population within the four state capitals.
After half a year of war, especially now that the residents of the four counties are controlled by a group of demons who eat people, the consumption of the population is simply unimaginable.
Zhong Yu didn't want to wait until after conquering the territory of the four counties, what he got was a barren land where there were no chickens crowing for a thousand miles, and there was no human habitation for a hundred miles, that would be meaningless.
Therefore, it is imminent to expel the demons as soon as possible and restore the orthodoxy of humanity.
Now every extra day of delay, tens of thousands of people of the human race will die, and that will be the population under Zhong Yu's rule in the future.
Regardless of these things, the luck gathered by so many people's bodies is still a considerable number, and Zhong Yu feels distressed no matter how it is consumed between heaven and earth for nothing.
