Chapter 2181 New Rules, Shackles of All Living Beings

So, following Du You's actions, the surrounding cities finally began to take their own actions.

Some brutal cities began to suppress resistance on a large scale. When the city's population is insufficient, people are arrested from outside and brought into the city. As a result, the truth that emerged became more and more troublesome.

People who don't want to stay here can escape quickly. Even if they are caught, it is not that easy.

Many of those who were caught were criminals hiding outside. These robbers and bandits don't care so much. Even if they enter the city, they still live their lives as they please.

If you want to bully others, you will bully them, and even get worse. Because there are so many people, the city becomes even more chaotic.

The entire city is like a large prison. This is no longer a matter of deep resentment.

But their city lord only valued the population and nothing else. Feeling that the blessings he received were getting stronger and stronger, the city lord was very satisfied. Just a few days later, with the city lord screaming, things changed.

They finally discovered for the first time that being resented by a large number of people in their own city would be counterproductive. Not only is the original blessing to oneself gone, but shackles have also been added to the body.

Under the oppression of shackles, not only will his strength not improve, but it will continue to decline.

These city lords who usually didn't care about anything finally panicked, but there was nothing they could do. They are disgusted by the rules of this world, and are forcibly locked by the laws, unable to escape.

Even if someone abandons their city and flees far away, there is still no way to break free from this shackles.

After learning about this, many city lords who had not yet had time to do so broke out into cold sweats. As long as the shackles are not removed for a day, the strength will continue to decline. This is simply a chronic suicide.

Fortunately, they haven't done this yet. Some city lords who were fierce in their methods quickly softened their methods.

But some people have gone too far before, so it has no effect at all. After a period of time, there were more than a dozen city lords controlled by the shackles of rules.

The most powerful among them has actually reached the eighth level. But as soon as the incident happened, this person's strength dropped to the seventh level. Then, his opponent took direct action and finished him off.

After this happened, no one dared to mess around immediately.

However, those who pay attention to people's livelihood have not changed much. Although they organized people around to eliminate the monsters, they never considered how to do it best.

They just learned a superficial lesson and directly sent people to destroy the monsters. As a result, no matter whether they were powerful or weak monsters, these people were all wiped out. Warcraft in many places have even been killed to extinction.

As a result, the people were indeed safe, but many adventurers living outside had no source of income. Because they usually make a living by hunting some low-level monsters.

Without a source of income, they turned their attention to others.

As a result, the outside of the city became more chaotic, and more and more people left their land and fled in the direction of the Life Empire. When they discovered this, the city lords were dumbfounded.

Because they never thought that they would also destroy the monsters.

Why can't it work here?

I heard that the Life Empire only eliminated powerful monsters and then sent people to station there. Doesn't this waste people and money? Doesn't it still leave some dangers? How could this happen if he tried to do it once and for all?

The high-ranking city lords simply don't understand the lives of civilians, which is equivalent to destroying the ecology all at once.

Obviously, it was impossible for Du You to explain these things to them. As the internal situation continued to stabilize, Du You began preparations for a new round of expansion. A large number of troops have begun to gather at the border.

Of course, the direction is still not towards the center of the continent, but still towards the outside. My own expansion has not yet reached the most peripheral areas. Just wait until it reaches the very edge, and then expand toward both sides.

The people over there were completely unable to stop Du You's offensive. As for the people around him, they didn't care. After all, it was meaningless to them. Even they think it's better.

By attracting Du You's attention and wasting the Life Empire's troops, he would be safe.

In recent times, more and more city lords have abandoned their cities and fled far away.

Because they found that if they continued to stay here, there was no way to reorganize the city into prosperity. If they continued, they would most likely be the next person to be controlled by the shackles of sentient beings.

After being shackled, it is too late to build a new city. It is impossible to break through this restriction with the development of a new city. There is no other way waiting for them except death.

As a person who has reached the seventh level but has no way to exert his seventh level strength, that is a very tempting treasure.

"They finally started to expand. I knew he would never settle down like this."

"Don't worry, their direction is still towards the border. Even if they expand to both sides in the future, it will not affect our side."

"I have nothing to worry about. Anyway, I'm ready to leave and go to the center of the world. It's safe there. No matter how much trouble they make, they won't be able to get there."

"Are you crazy? How come it's safe over there? There are powerful monsters everywhere, and eighth-level ones are everywhere. Moreover, the density of the city over there is very high, and it's almost impossible for you to build a new city."

With their strength, it would be impossible to move forward without the city. In other words, if this world wants to become the seventh level, it must first have its own city. At least, it's a small city.

Or, you can join a big city and become a high-level person there. But without the blessing of city power, it would be impossible to break through the seventh level. Relying on their own cultivation, reaching the sixth level is already their limit.

Therefore, giving up building a city is equivalent to giving up one's own improvement.

"There is no other way. Let's look for opportunities in the future. I always feel that building a new city nearby is a waste of time. These people are not that simple." After hearing this, many people sighed inwardly.

Yes, who would have thought that the undead that they had always looked down upon could actually explode with such terrifying power.
