When the car passed by the city gate, Yang Fan looked up and saw the words "Dai Xing City" carved on a huge stone right above the city gate.
This was the first time he knew that the city where the Guardian's Residence was located was called Dai Xing City.
"Dai Xing City is one of the twenty-four cities in the northwest. Because the Guardian's Residence is located here, it is truly the number one city in the northwest."
An Sheng knew that Yang Fan had never left Xi Chu City and knew nothing about the outside world, so he introduced the city to Yang Fan. "Compared to it, Taikang City and Dazheng City have to stand aside."
"Don't be fooled by Wang Zhihe and Chen Chuan's arrogance on the airship. In Dai Xing City, they have to abide by the rules here."
"Also, there's a law enforcement team called Hunting Star in Dai Xing City. I heard that the members are all Grandmaster-level powerhouses with extraordinary strength. We'd better behave ourselves here in the future. If we make any mistakes and are targeted by Hunting Star, we'll be skinned alive even if we don't die …"
"Student An Sheng, you know a lot. You must have traveled to the surrounding cities before, right?"
Wang Zhe looked at the little fatty in surprise. It was indeed unusual for a child of his age to know so much about the distribution of power in the outside world.
Compared to him, Yang Fan, Zhu Yuchen, Jin Wenze, and the other students who had never left West Chu City were simply a group of ignorant children who didn't know anything.
Not only Wang Zhe, but also Chu Feiyun and Duan Xiaorui, who were next to him, could not help but look at this little fatty in a new light. Because of their family background, the two of them had the experience of going out of the Defender's Residence. However, they did not know much about the origin and distribution of forces in Dai Xing City.
At least, they had never heard of the law enforcement team in Dai Xing City that was made up of masters. It was simply unimaginable.
In other cities, having more than two masters was already considered very powerful. They did not expect Dai Xing City, where the Guardian's Residence was located, to be rich enough to form a law enforcement team with masters.
Amazing!!
Seeing Teacher Wang Zhe's expression of approval, there was no need to ask to know that Ansheng was not talking nonsense. What he said should be true.
As expected of the House of Guardians. Its power had completely exceeded the imaginations of high school students like them.
Naturally, Yang Fan also sighed with emotion. He rejoiced and praised the Human Race for possessing such strength.
In that case, as long as they entered Dai Xing City, they wouldn't have to worry about their own safety.
An Sheng said shyly, "When I was young, I went to many places with my father and stayed in Dai Xing City for a while, so I know a little about it. "You're showing off in front of an expert, Instructor Wang. Instructor Wang is a graduate of the Federation Martial Arts University. You've definitely been to more places than the students. You're the one who's truly experienced and knowledgeable."
It was rare for this fatty to be so polite. Wang Zhe could not help but shake his head and chuckle. His interest was instantly piqued. He continued An Sheng's words and said, "The reason why the Guardian's Residence can use Dai Xing City as a base and guard a territory is because there's a King in the city.
"It's not convenient for me to mention the King's name. However, it's precisely because of the existence of this King that no Monster King dares to invade our twenty-four northwestern cities within a boundary of nearly three hundred thousand square kilometers.
"For so many years, our Xi Chu City and the many neighboring cities have been able to survive under the encirclement of many low-level monsters. We don't have to worry about the danger of being destroyed at all times."
Yang Fan was puzzled. "Since there's a King in charge, wouldn't it be better to exterminate all the monsters in the area? Why is it that until now, almost every city is surrounded by countless monsters? Why do large numbers of humans die in the stomachs of these monsters every year? Sometimes, it even leads to a battle of extermination. In one night, cities with millions of people are burned to the ground. "
Yang Fan could not figure it out and could not understand. Since they were enclosing their territory, why didn't they do it more directly? Wouldn't it be better to just kill all the monsters in the territory? Why did they have to sacrifice so many people's lives in vain?
Chu Feiyun and the others also looked at Wang Zhe at the same time. This question had actually been hovering in their hearts for a long time, but they could not get a satisfactory answer.
"This question is actually a question in many people's hearts. When teacher was young, he had such grievances more than once. Why didn't the King level experts in the clan take action? Why did they give all the humans in the territory a safe environment to live in?"
Wang Zhe did not directly answer Yang Fan's question. Instead, he asked An Sheng softly, "An Sheng, do you know the answer to this question?"
An Sheng shook his head. "I've asked my father before, and he said that this is an agreement between the three sovereigns and the Demon Race. Kings against kings, generals against generals. Experts above the king level are not allowed to participate in the war between humans and demons."
"It seems that the power of a King Realm master is too great. If he explodes with his full strength, the range is too wide. A casual palm strike can destroy all living things within a hundred miles. Whether it's the Human Clan or the Demon Clan, they can't bear such losses."
"Your father is right. This is indeed one of the reasons." Wang Zhe nodded and continued, "However, there's another saying that you should have heard. That is, 'Man is born in sorrow, but he dies in peace and happiness'."
Yang Fan's expression changed. Unexpectedly, he thought of the words "Catfish Effect".
Sure enough, Wang Zhe continued, "In the past, before the rise of the Three Emperors, the Federation government had done something similar. They concentrated their superior military forces and cleared out all the demonic beasts in a region. This allowed the residents to live and work normally. They could go out of the city, farm, or play in the mountains and rivers. Their lives were extremely comfortable."
"They didn't have to be like the residents now. Once they go out of the city, they have to worry about whether the demonic beasts outside will suddenly appear."
"This kind of life is the most ideal living state that many people dream of. I believe that you should have imagined such a life more than once."
Chu Feiyun and the others nodded at the same time. In the apocalypse, who didn't want to find a safe place to settle down?
"Rumor has it that at that time, the place called Hope City was a holy place that many humans wanted to enter. As long as you became an official resident there, you would no longer have to worry about the demonic beasts and demonic plants outside. You could completely live the life you wanted like a normal person who had turned from a disaster. "
Listening to Wang Zhe's description, the faces of the students all showed a trace of yearning.
"However, the good times didn't last long."
"Because of the rapid increase in the population of Hope City, it gradually became a delicious cake in the eyes of the surrounding demonic beasts. But because of the strong defense of Hope City, the demonic beasts didn't dare to act rashly."
"Until the third year after the establishment of the City of Hope, the tide of spiritual energy once again swept across the entire world. The demonic beasts around the City of Hope underwent a large-scale evolution overnight. Many of the demonic beasts that were originally Level 5 Demon Generals directly advanced to Level 6 or even Level 7 Demon Kings!"
"So, on the second day after the Spiritual Energy Tide, under the leadership of more than ten Level Six and Level Seven Demon Kings, there were tens of millions of demonic beasts in the surroundings that launched a Beast Tide attack on Hope City at the same time. The battle to destroy the city was close at hand."
"As for the residents of Hope City, because they had been living in peace for too long, many of them had even forgotten about the dangers of the apocalypse outside. Every day, they were like flies that sought after dogs and flies, and they didn't even practice the most basic martial arts diligently."
"In the entire area where Hope City was located, there were tens of millions of people densely packed together. Except for the Federation's army, as well as some teachers and students of martial arts schools who still maintained a certain level of cultivation, most of the martial artists were panic-stricken when faced with this sudden Beast Tide. The first thing they thought of was not how to unite as one to fight for survival, but how to escape and avoid disaster."
"The result was as you can imagine." Wang Zhe sighed softly and said, "In that battle, the entire Hope City, within a radius of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, became a bloody carnival for countless demonic beasts in a day. Tens of millions of human compatriots were slaughtered and devoured here, becoming the demonic beasts' food for evolution and cultivation. "
"On that day, Hope City was destroyed. The land was thousands of miles wide, and out of the 57 million residents, only less than 3,000 people luckily escaped. With a mortality rate of almost 99.99%, it was definitely the worst loss in the Federation's history. "
"It was also from then on that the Federation's upper echelons came to a consensus that if the human race wanted to survive in the apocalypse and not be completely wiped out by the demonic beasts, it was necessary for the entire human race to train their soldiers."
"It was also from then on that the Federation began to focus on the cultivation of the crisis awareness of every human race in the entire human race."
"In order to prevent similar tragedies from happening again, every human race must understand what the foundation of the human race is."
"Therefore, after the rise of the Three Sovereigns and the human race had a relatively stable living environment, the Federation's government no longer sent out troops to clear out all the demonic beasts around the human race's gathering places as much as possible like Hope City did in the past. They deliberately left behind many demonic beast groups whose strength was comparable to the human race's cities, and deliberately cultivated the human race's combat awareness and crisis awareness."
"If you want to live, you have to work hard to practice martial arts. If you want to have a sufficient source of food, you have to go out of the city to hunt demonic beasts. In this way, day after day, year after year, the residents of each city would compete to practice martial arts and strengthen themselves. "
"In the following hundred years, the facts had already proven the wisdom of the Federation's government's decision. Although the human race's living environment was not very fertile, and many places were plagued by demonic beasts, there would occasionally be a city extermination battle."
"However, after that, there were no more large-scale human casualties like the one in Hope City."
"Compared to the casualty data of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of humans every year, there were many talented martial artists in the Federation's territory. The strength of the new martial artists was constantly increasing, indicating that the entire human race was quietly rising."
