Chapter 839 Hopeless City (107)
The emperor was so worried that he sent countless soldiers to the border to strangle the evil beasts. The battle was fierce, and in the end only 30,000 of the 80,000 soldiers were left. These 30,000 soldiers were led by General Zhou Ye and continued to hold on to the border. resistance.
General Zhou Ye is already twenty-five years old. For men, he is in his prime, but for women, it is inevitable that some people will talk about him.
She is a woman, even though there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers behind her, she is still a woman. The duty given to women in such an era is obviously not to lead soldiers in war, but to marry and have children.
Thirteen lines of defense on the border surround the entire Longka Empire. Each of these thirteen lines of defense is guarded by 10,000 soldiers.
This means that in the current environment, there are not many soldiers left in the imperial capital, and almost all the troops in the country have been sent to the border to resist the invasion of evil beasts.
Neighboring countries are also suffering terribly. Several small countries have even declared annihilation. All the people fled to death. Even the emperors surrendered and knelt down and became vassals of other powerful countries.
But in the city of Longka, the people still live peacefully, and they don't even know what the evil raccoon looks like.
In such a stable environment, while everyone is panicked and frightened, some people will also have wild thoughts that there are evil beasts outside the city, causing countless casualties. Is this true?
Longka is an open-minded country. In addition to the emperor having the greatest power, the remaining schools of thought that dominate the hearts of the people are also very powerful.
The books that students read and the religions that people believe in all come from the same school of thought, which is also the main school of Longkha, the Jundika school of thought.
Jundika, the founder of conservative thought and the emperor's teacher, is highly respected and has written countless books.
The idea he advocates is: the origin of all things is what the heart thinks. What you see with your own eyes and hear with your ears may not be true. What you think in your heart is the most real.
Everything can be moved by the heart, thoughts are the most powerful, and all external objects are controlled by the heart.
In the years when the evil raccoon dog was raging, the people went from praying in fear at the beginning, to feeling relieved, to finally raising doubts. In the past five years, a conspiracy theory has been fermenting in the city.
Do such creatures really exist?
If it was really as terrifying and brutal as the outside world reported, why didn't the city receive any news? Is General Zhou Ye really capable of leading his soldiers to stop all the evil beasts? Life in the city is too comfortable.
No worries about food and clothing, and an open mind.
When material life is extremely prosperous, people's thoughts will be particularly active.
The founder of the Jundika sect raised a question to the people in the city.
All the soldiers in the city were sent to the border. Is it to resist the evil beasts? Are there any ambitious people who have other ideas?
No one believed this suspicion from the beginning.
Time passed slowly.
The first year, the second year, the third year...
A lot of good news came, but everyone began to doubt the woman who protected the empire.
"Is the border really as dangerous as the rumors say?"
"She is a woman. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to lead the country's troops?"
"I have never heard of evil beasts killing many people. My relatives on the border said that it was not as serious as the rumors. Last year, everyone gathered together to celebrate the New Year."
"If it's not serious, just let the soldiers go home. What a pitiful group of children. They haven't come back for eight years."
