Chapter 2018 I Finally Couldn’t Hold on Any Longer

Du You's strong attacks on the kingdoms and empires behind him did not arouse any resentment from the outside world. After all, Du You's approach was very helpful in solving hidden dangers, and there was not much opposition from people inside.

And Du You's domineering behavior now is also because he has this qualification.

As an empire that occupies one-third of the entire world, who would dare to disapprove if it behaves more domineeringly.

Moreover, there is almost no trace of demons in this one-third of the country. For anyone, this is an indelible achievement, and the internal people will only sing praises.

Even civilians in many places outside have been thinking about when Du You can capture their cities.

In their view, it is not a bad thing for the city to be captured. They will be out of danger and their lives will be better. You know, when we captured cities in recent years, many cities were very weak.

There are even some cities where soldiers will join forces to open up the city and dedicate their city managers to each other.

Because there have been more and more traitors within these years, those cities have become more and more strict with their subordinates. As a result, this created a vicious cycle, and the people in most cities became increasingly dissatisfied with their rulers.

Of course, Du You still indulged in those independent cities within the country, which was also a manifestation of his loyalty. After all, people cannot stand without trust, and they cannot take the initiative to destroy what they promised in the first place, even if they become powerful.

However, as these years have progressed, these guys can no longer hold on.

Du You looked at the information in his hand and smiled: "The Huangcao family was the first to demand independence. Now they are finally unable to bear it. This should be their last resistance."

Du You and a group of subordinates around him laughed. This family simply asked for it.

After the three cities became independent one after another, these five cities can be said to be independent. The people under his command were not allowed to communicate with each other, and there were problems even with a lot of land outside the city, and they were fighting endlessly for a little bit of land.

This situation could be maintained at first, but later on, everyone realized that something was wrong.

Because in order to fight against the enemy, coupled with their thinking habits, they have been encouraging fertility, hoping that they can get more people. But I didn’t expect that this population is the biggest problem.

Ten years have passed, a generation has grown up, and the food problem has appeared in front of them. There was not enough food for everyone, and the originally restrained situation gradually changed.

The conflicts between everyone became more and more intense.

The competition for land outside the city is also becoming more and more serious.

There have even been many cases of directly attacking the opponent's rice fields without killing anyone, just to starve the opponent's people to death. But then the situation became more and more serious. There was not enough food, and conflicts within the city also broke out.

So later everyone restrained themselves, and for their own survival, the five cities united to delineate the border and not cross the border. At the same time, it is stipulated that the other party's farmland must not be destroyed and one's own survival must be ensured.

But behind the scenes, these guys were thinking about getting food from the outside world, but Du You had already ordered them to be imprisoned, so they couldn't buy anything. There are also air force patrols around the area every day, so no one can even think of crossing the border.

The blockade of the city wall made it impossible for their people to sneak across, so they could only stay inside.

Another ten years have passed, and generations of people have grown up, and the population has become larger and larger. Although they have tried their best to control the population, they cannot just kill those who have been born, so the conflict becomes more intense.

When they were young, they were constantly bullied, but as adults, they were different.

Join forces to grab food, and then unite to become a more powerful organization in order to survive. At first, they were hanging out on their own street, and then they started fighting on other surrounding streets.

Organizations were established one after another, then most were eliminated and a few grew. When it grows to a certain level, it will attract the attention of the city rulers, who will then send people to suppress them.

In order to survive, they had to resist, and many soldiers grew up among them.

So this kind of suppression and redevelopment confront each other, and the cycle continues. After things developed to a certain extent, the city's controlling family's control over the city became weaker and weaker.

However, the outside world only recognized the attitude of the Huangcao family, and they had no way to get any supplements from the outside world. Later on, those rules become meaningless and these people will not abide by them.

Everyone is constantly snatching food, and there are always some people who want to cause damage. After all, there are all kinds of people. This chaotic situation is gradually getting out of control. The last few families can only control part of the area in front of them.

Most of the cities that belong to them cannot be controlled by themselves, let alone fight against foreign countries.

This chaos has developed until now. There is no trust between people at all and they are full of hatred for each other. Even if they cooperate with each other, they must be wary of each other. The army has become a decoration.

Communities one by one are the mainstream now, and only those big families can barely maintain themselves by relying on their own strength.

The people of the Arakao family stayed in the castle shivering all day long. Except for the area inside the castle, they no longer control anywhere. People outside blame them for all the faults.

If it weren't for the protection of the castle, the members of the Huangcao family would have died long ago.

The two candidates were kicked off the stage long ago, but those who came up later could not hold on to the position of clan leader for long. Because the family is deteriorating, their internal situation is getting more and more serious.

"Everyone, we cannot continue. We must surrender to the United Empire, in our name. The United Empire recognizes us. Whoever surrenders first now will be the family controller in the future."

"Absolutely not. If we surrender now, we will definitely lose our status as city controllers."

They also know what the situation is now, and surrendering now will not be recognized by others. Their persistence for so many years has made them guilty, at least in the eyes of others.

"Stop trying to control the city. If this continues, we will not be able to protect ourselves. There is already a situation in the family where we don't have enough to eat. How long are you going to hold on?"

The new clan leader couldn't help shouting loudly, how old are these people, and they still can't let go of the power they have.

But the question is, do they still have rights now? Most of their clan members have died in the battle. If so many people hadn't died, this castle wouldn't be able to feed the remaining people.
