Earth Through The Ages

Chapter 2015 Gradually Falling Into Despair

Du You has been blocking the Huangcao family and has not done anything else. The head of the Arakao family has always felt that things may not be that simple, but no matter what he thinks, he still doesn't understand what the other party is trying to do.

The only thing that depressed him was that the United Empire had built a wall on the ground to separate them, and it also built an underground wall underground, so they couldn't get through at all. Five cities were cordoned off, preventing expansion at all.

Because their outside areas are all the territory of the United Empire, once they attack outside, it will be regarded as a war.

Being fixed in a small place, people from outside can't come in, and people inside can't get out. This is their current situation.

However, since it's okay, let's forget it. Others don't have any objections anyway.

The most important thing is that there is nothing he can do now. In his opinion, such a moderate empire would not last long even if it was established. Although his ambitions cannot be realized now, it may not be possible in the future.

First refer to their experience and learn from it. When they collapse, he can take advantage of the situation and occupy a large area around him. Now, all they have to do is accumulate strength, nothing more.

And with their example, some cities that were unwilling to join the Duyou Empire and did not want to lose their rights also appeared.

Du You did the same thing as he did with them, building a wall directly on the border to enclose it. This kind of project is large-scale to others, but it is nothing to Du You. After all, he can create a large number of craftsmen out of thin air. These craftsmen are not simple. A siege wall can be completed in up to half a year.

Of course, this is the result of Du You giving them some earth attribute mage clones to use, otherwise it would not be so fast.

But what they didn't expect was that the problem started to become serious where they didn't pay attention. The first person to have problems was the Arakao family. There was a war, and a large number of young adults were in danger at all times.

But now that there is peace, they have no war, and those mercenaries have no way to get what they want through fighting. But apart from fighting, they don't know how to do anything else.

Those who could endure it found jobs they could do, while those who couldn't endure it began to think of other ways.

As a result, some special internal organizations began to take shape, using their own force to obtain food or other things.

In the absence of external pressure, internal conflicts gradually began to emerge and grew rapidly. The civilians who were originally united are now gradually becoming hostile to each other.

Just for the purpose of training troops, the five cities are still recruiting personnel and then training them. The number of regular troops is increasing, and the pressure on the family is increasing. Training soldiers requires a lot of money and food.

Normally, because everyone is fighting and people keep dying, no one cares about this.

But now, the officials in charge of the family's wealth are beginning to have a headache. At first, he thought he could solve it, but later, he found that he could not continue to expand, so he submitted the matter to the head of the family.

After seeing this, everyone had a heated discussion and concluded that the army could not continue to be expanded.

If they hadn't been like this, they wouldn't have left a large number of young adults with nowhere to go. And more and more young adults are focusing on training their fighting abilities, and eventually enter the club.

Those who are bullied must also work hard to develop their own strength in order to protect themselves.

As a result, various armed conflicts began to appear frequently. At the beginning, everyone went to fight outside the city. At this time, it was very safe outside, and they would never encounter attacks from demons or other things.

Later, conflicts began to appear even in the city.

Of course, this kind of thing will not affect the upper levels. The Arakao family, which has always been aloof, did not even realize that there was a problem with its foundation. At this time, he was still immersed in trying to learn from the experience of the United Empire.

This kind of problem can be suppressed. However, there was no way to suppress the population problem, and it did not attract anyone's attention. Although the war has stopped, many of our habits have remained.

For example, for the sake of population, everyone is desperately trying to reproduce. No one can stop this kind of thing.

The result is that, without death, there are more and more children in the family. There was nothing at first, but after a few years, the population became obviously uncontrollable.

By this time, everyone had developed all the surrounding wasteland and planted food. Because the place is relatively large, everyone can persevere.

After a few years, the population increased and the problem of work became a serious problem.

At this time, the senior officials of the Arakao family were a little worried. They never thought that people's livelihood would be so troublesome.

Later, someone suggested that we need to find more jobs and provide more positions. So they began to artificially propose many projects that were originally useless, and transformed these people into workers for digestion.

Everything seems to be going in a very good direction, but no one realizes that the biggest problem is not this, but that the population is growing crazily. A group of senior executives with no experience will not notice this at all.

Even in their consciousness, the more population, the better. Didn't you see that the United Empire is the same?

But they ignored that their own space was very small and could no longer bear the survival of so many people. A new profession that had never appeared before began to appear quietly, and that was beggars.

There are more and more people begging on the streets. At first, some people could meet their survival needs, but later they could no longer meet their needs. As a result, these beggars began to form gangs with each other, and the conflicts became more and more serious.

Finally, I don’t know when, the first bloody conflict occurred. This incident seemed to suddenly open a new door for everyone. Eliminating the opponent physically can free up more resources and space for yourself.

This is especially true when there is no involvement or attention from people at the top.

It's just one person's death, and the higher-ups won't care. There haven't been many deaths in recent years. As a result, the bloody conflicts began to expand, and everyone in the five cities gradually began to feel in danger.

Some people who used to have legitimate jobs can no longer do these legitimate jobs in order to protect themselves or be bullied by others. As the city's population increases, production levels are declining.
