In the face of natural disasters, should we protect the core cities or these small border towns?
Sane people will choose Baoda City.
As long as you go back and forth a few times, even with the strength of modern organizations, you will find that small city-states are just a drag.
So they will give up, or they will choose to only charge protection fees and not provide protection services. They will only promise not to hit you.
When others hit you, they don’t care.
When Wen Rensheng saw this, he understood that this was equivalent to the future generations.
In later generations, everyone began to use financial means to obtain benefits.
It is rare to directly occupy territory.
To directly occupy the territory, you have to bear the welfare of those people, regardless of the fact that it is easy to cause rumors and pressure.
It is better to use financial search directly.
Most people can’t understand it, and those who do understand won’t say much.
No questions asked.
Mi Heng quickly understood this.
Then he began to wonder again.
Ask the captured general: "Then why don't the gods take care of these small towns?"
"Since the great city is protected by the Son of God, and there will be many sons of God, but the great city is limited, there will always be sons who cannot get a share of the great city, right?"
What he said is correct.
In fact, he learned that there are only more than ten big cities.
Some city-states have only one, and some have two.
"It's simple. Small city-states are poor." The general also wanted to live a little longer, "because building a temple is very expensive."
"It will take decades to build."
"And even after building it, they can't maintain the temple at all."
"And the son of God can only communicate with God through the temple. Organize sacrifices and gain divine power.”
Hearing this, you are a modern person after all.
I have read many novels.
He keenly guessed that the temple was the key!
Sacrifice should be related to faith. The five key elements of the Son of God, the temple, faith, gods, and divine power form a closed loop.
The son of God is the anchor of the god’s bloodline in the present world. The temple is the place where the god is in the present world. He organizes the people and generates faith. After the god extracts the divine power, he shares it with the son of god!
To put it bluntly, it is still a business.
When he realized this, Wen Rensheng also laughed.
This is the benefit of modern people.
There is a lot of information and a big imagination. The ancients were so exhausted that they could guess the truths that they could not imagine or dare to think about with just one or two introductions.
Of course you know that this is just a guess and needs evidence to prove it.
Otherwise, it is just your own fantasy and cannot be used directly at all.
To apply speculations and fantasies directly into reality is to seek death.
"Then when you attack other big city-states, aren't you afraid of offending the gods?" You Heng then asked the fundamental question.
The captured general showed fear on his face, and then whispered: "Of course I am afraid."
"But we are attacking the city of a hostile god."
" And there is an agreement between the gods that they will not punish us directly, but those who dare to blaspheme the gods will definitely be marked with death."
"Will always die by some coincidence."
"For example, there was a hungry peasant king who was the son of a certain god in the Golden Age. He was disgusted by a god because he often liked to eat the hearts of farmers, so he declared that he would be stuck to death by fish bones while eating fish."
“His father doted on him very much, so he forbade him to eat fish.”
The story the general told immediately attracted Ni Heng’s attention.
Wen Rensheng also found it interesting.
“However, one day, his father went to war with the Lord God. Without his father’s attention, someone deliberately made a delicious plate of grilled fish.”
"He couldn't help but eat it, and as expected, the fishbone got stuck in his throat. Then the tiny fishbone pierced the throat of the son of God who had killed hundreds of elites in a row, causing him to suffocate to death."
Ni Heng knew that the fishbone should have pierced the large blood vessel and then pierced the trachea.
Blood flows into the trachea and into the lungs, which can cause suffocation in a short time.
In modern times, there is only a short first aid time of 5 minutes.
Don’t say it’s this era.
"Isn't there any magical healing power?" Ni Heng asked again.
“Yes, but the high priest in charge of the sacrifices also went out to pray for the gods to win that day.”
“They also went to find sacrifices from other city-states, but before they arrived, they Announced that he has returned to his father's arms."
"That's it." Ni Heng understood.
The gods rely on prophecies to easily kill the Son of God.
There is no battle between gods and gods in the human world.
Nor does divine punishment come directly.
The so-called "divine punishment" is probably a natural disaster predicted by the gods.
Let natural disasters destroy cities.
It's very simple.
Earthquakes, floods and even fires can easily destroy current city-states.
This is also the reason why those people did not dare to take action against him after he showed great power before.
It seems that if you want to kill the Son of God, you can only rely on God’s prophecy.
If someone kills someone, his father or mother is qualified to take revenge.
It is predicted that a natural disaster will destroy that city-state.
Of course prophecies can also be countered.
Just like the previous one, if his father keeps watching him and not letting him eat fish, he may die of old age.
The same is true for natural disasters.
As long as there is a stronger divine protection, it can be avoided.
In short, this is the city-state era with the background of Greek mythology.
Mortals don't have a stage to perform on, they just provide food, cattle, sheep and faith.
The real stage is prepared for the Son of God, who is the director, screenwriter, and photographer behind the scenes.
He asked the general again: "What are the benefits of attacking the big city?"
The general suddenly showed a look of yearning.
“The first thing is to break down their temples and gain huge divine favor.”
"You will even be chosen by the gods, and then be favored by the gods..."
Hearing this, you felt a chill.
He does not think that all gods are goddesses.
“Then you can become a god warrior, with a status similar to that of a son of god.”
“You can plunder the divine power they accumulated in the temple.”
"These divine powers can transform ordinary people into as powerful as a son of God like you, but there is a time limit."
You Heng nodded, strength is the best way to get ahead in this era.
No wonder he said this is the biggest benefit.
“A small city cannot maintain the temple and cannot accumulate divine power.”
“The temple must reach a certain scale before it can gather divine power.”
After hearing this, Mi Heng suddenly realized that if you want to change the whole world, you must make the world feel pain!
Let the people in the big city-states also understand that having gods does not mean they can do whatever they want!
He wants to become a god!
A true, just god with the strongest power!
Moreover, he wants to make everyone useful.
It doesn’t take that much trouble to accumulate divine power.
Don’t let big city-states monopolize the way to obtain divine power.
He wants to make it easy for everyone to gather divine power.
“I want to become a god above gods!”
“I want you people from the big city, and all the sons of gods, to understand the suffering of the common people!”
Hearing this, Wen Rensheng felt a bit like a black line.
Good guy.
As expected, those who are willing to take on the mission of saving the world are somewhat of a middle-class person.
But it is this second grade that has the possibility to change the world.
Just like the Great Xia of the past, what changed it was not those sleek, sophisticated people who were well versed in ancient and modern times, but a group of seemingly innocent and passionate teenagers who were full of ideals.
"Let the world feel the pain!"
You then broke the captured general's neck...
"I..." Although the general couldn't speak after his neck was broken, , but there is still more than ten seconds of revolving time.
If you cut off your head, you can still live for a dozen or so people.
“If I had known, I wouldn’t have told you so much.”
Afterwards, you were searching everywhere in this world.
Looking around.
He discovered that the world is not big. At best, it is the size of an Ouzhou.
Of course, for human beings, it is actually not small.
10 million square kilometers of land, plus 40 million square kilometers of ocean.
If no major changes occur, humans should be able to reproduce for millions of years.
After all, primitive humans lived for more than two million years.
There is no reason why people in feudal city-states cannot survive as long as there are no drastic changes.
Ten years later.
Ni Heng, who traveled north, south, east and west, relied on a few plug-ins and his modern knowledge to gradually master the mysteries of the gods.
All gods believe in mixed nature.
They are formed by three factors.
The first is the temple, the second is the believers, and the third is the mountains or rivers.
In other words, only a big mountain and a big river can have a god.
This may be a limitation of the world.
“The world of mountain gods and river gods?” Wen Rensheng nodded.
This guy Mi Heng has good exploration ability.
Indeed, Mi Heng discovered that people worshiped mountains and rivers because they were the basis for early human survival.
Where there are mountains, there is food, and where there are rivers, there is development and growth.
In the beginning, people did not live in the plains.
After coming down from the tree, we entered the plain.
In the natural environment, plain areas are often forest areas, and forests can also be regarded as another kind of mountain... uneven trees are tree mountains.
Primitive people lived in trees in the early days.
Mi Heng has already grasped this point.
These gods are, in the final analysis, the evolution of totem gods.
They rely on extraordinary strength and divine power to evolve faster than humans.
Of course they fall faster than humans.
Now they have everything they need, all they have left is how to please themselves.
Basically, except for a few main gods who are interested in exploring the world, the other gods just want to eat, drink, have fun and seek various stimulations every day.
Playing chess with city-states and making up stories from mortals to heroes are what they like to do most.
Similar to modern people playing simulation games, RPG games, and online games.
And this is a real simulation, so you can imagine how attractive it will be.
Among modern young people, at least half of ten people have played games.
This is undeniable.
The proportion of gods is even higher.
Besides, God still has a way to fast forward.
That is, if you sleep by yourself, you will grow up.
Time is worthless to these gods.
Unless there are big changes in the world's ley lines and rivers, they will not be finished.
Under normal circumstances, people in feudal city-states did not have the ability to transform large rivers.
Suddenly, Mi Heng also understood why you stayed in the city-state era.
Why do natural disasters frequently attack city-states without the Son of God?
If there is true unification, it is impossible to move mountains, but it is possible to change a big river and make it disappear.
For example, the Yellow River has changed its course many times, hasn’t it?
If the Yellow River is a god, then the lower part of the god has changed back and forth several times.
The location of many big cities can be seen.
Some are at the junction of mountains and rivers.
Some are at the bends of the river.
And natural disasters are the means used by gods to restrict human unity.
As long as they are not unified, how can a single city change the river?
Firstly, there is not enough manpower, and secondly, the river passes through your territory and also passes through other people's territory.
At most make minor changes and dig ditches and canals.
There are also many disasters of all kinds.
A gathering place without God’s protection will suffer from these disasters all the time.
As for how the small city-state came to be?
Small city-states came from people exiled from big cities.
Although it reproduces, the population of the big city will become more and more.
There will come a time when there will not be enough food.
And because of the existence of God and His Son, it is impossible for the common people to successfully resist and divide the land.
At this time, some people will be kicked out because of insufficient resources, insufficient positions, and unable to earn living expenses.
Bankrupt vagrants, beggars, and the old, weak, sick and disabled who are left unattended will all be kicked out.
They have nowhere to go but to run into the wild.
Then a gathering point is formed.
There is also an advantage to natural disasters.
That is, it is easy to form uninhabited resource areas...
This is the redistribution of natural resources under natural disasters.
These people make use of the abundant resources in the wild and survive.
They are like weeds.
There are some small city-states that have better luck.
Not destroyed by the gods.
The natural disaster did not come.
One hundred years is enough for a small city-state to prosper.
In fact, a dynasty can reach its peak period in two generations within 30 to 50 years.
And the frequency of natural disasters is not that high.
Once in ten years, once in twenty years.
But once it comes, it will be a disaster.
These lucky small towns are trying to obtain the protection of the Son of God.
But the temple must be built before the Son of God can move in.
Otherwise, it is better to hang out with the favored brothers and sisters and get some leftovers.
After all, it is also the bloodline of God, and it still has value.
The premise is to be humble.
Just like in a big family, a favored child will get good food to eat and let his sisters and brothers surround him.
But they are destined to only deal with some ordinary bandits.
Can't deal with natural disasters, can't deal with the invasion of big cities.
Every natural disaster and every battle in a big city is a time of fear for a small city.
Therefore, many small towns choose to seek refuge in big cities.
I don’t ask for any protection, I just ask not to kill.
That is to say, pay the protection fee.
The more you see me, the angrier you become.
He suppressed these rages.
For those common people, I have to say that this is a very tragic world.
If you are lucky, you can live a stable life for most of your life, which is 30 years.
Unlucky, he died just after birth.
After Wen Rensheng saw this, he wanted to know what would you do?
Soon, You Heng was motivated by enough anger and he decided to study those gods.
He secretly disguised himself as a businessman from a small town and came to a big city.
As long as you have enough money and a guarantee from someone with status in the big city, you can live in the big city.
There are also some large cities that can obtain more food through trade and river transportation, so they can support a larger population.
In fact, for feudal city-states, if they can support themselves, they hope that the city's population will increase.
This means that more people will go out to fight, more divine power will be obtained from sacrifices, and the price of hard labor will be cheaper.
This big city is close to the sea and is the mouth of a large river.
There is sea transportation and river transportation.
This lack of development can only mean that there are too many disasters.
In fact, there has been no disaster here for hundreds of years.
Even typhoons have to fly around.
