Chapter 1544 - 442: Fields Sown with Hope
Chapter 1544 - 442: Fields Sown with Hope
The sudden catastrophe played right into the rancher's hands, but as Skylar said, Theoden is actually a fairly "benevolent" king.
At least he didn't shed a few crocodile tears and then grab a fan to put out fires, or chop up the burned cattle and sheep to put them in pies and eat them again.
The Green Forest Army was doing just that, and with Kelan's tacit approval no less.
It must be said, those who are full tend to eat with more dignity than those who are starving.
This of course has nothing to do with the nobility or baseness of bloodlines or souls, nor with justice or evil, but purely because their different ecological roles determine the roles they must play on a specific stage.
If a one-in-ten-thousand miracle really happened, and Kelan, supported by Chaos with twelve leaders, accomplished something big, his descendants might have a chance to become the new Theoden.
It's simple, just give them a few hundred years to fill their bellies like the Devalu family.
Considering the population explosion and productivity development with the times, it might not even take a few hundred years.
If the Eternal Hunger Claw Urgos, after influencing everything, does not burn this world to ashes or regress it to the Stone Age...
The boiling flames of war are still spreading towards Twilight City, and the fate's dice need some more time before they settle.
However, all this chaos and curse seem unrelated to Sparrow Wood Territory, protected by the Holy Light.
Perhaps out of reverence for the Holy Daughter, or fear of the Lord Divine Son's divine power, the Ratmen in the Ten Thousand Ridges Mountain Range suddenly withdrew their infiltration into Sparrow Wood Territory, even removing several nests they had established in the area.
[Ye Zhiqiu]is quite disappointed.
He felt he was just about to grasp that legendary "main storyline," but instead, it flew away like a kite with a broken string.
"The Ratmen invading Sparrow Wood Territory suddenly retreated. We found traces of a boss in the empty nests, but nothing was left behind."
"Later, we learned from NPCs that the army of Campbell Duchy is fighting against the allied forces of Jing Shui Beach Territory, the Green Forest Army, and the Ratmen, and seems to have the support of Dwarves. A reasonable analysis suggests the retreated Ratmen forces might have gone to deal with the Campbell people."
"...Of course, I personally prefer to believe that the dog planner hasn't finished the follow-up plot, which is why they made such a seemingly reasonable but actually unreasonable arrangement."
Official website forum, exploration discussion board.
Yiye Zhiqiu updated the latest developments on monitoring Ratmen activity in the thread.
As one of the few technical high-level players in "Catastrophe OL," his posts always have high traffic.
After all, most people skim through the storyline, rarely immersing themselves in the game world like him, linking clues found within the game with reasonable logic to uncover hidden tasks and rewards.
However, despite that, because his post's technical content is too high, most people can't fully understand the homework they copy, only feeling a brief satisfaction without any deeper comprehension.
Therefore, most players who comment aren't there to copy homework but are either spamming 666, 999, or begging the dog planner to come and nerf the game, otherwise, it's unplayable.
Gou Shi: "Be content, you've already had plenty of game experiences! How much more do you want?! (angry)"
One Mouthful of Chemical Pool: "Exactly! The dog planner letting you freeload so much beta content is a huge loss!"
Ye Zhiqiu: "You can't say it like that. Officially, we are self-funded testers. Rather than me freeloading him, it's more like he's freeloading me. (side-eye)"
Pigface Rider: "Ugh ugh ugh!"
What is a Face: "So shameless!"
Pigman Knight: "Exactly! Isn't it appropriate to nerf this? (angry)"
Minotaur Warrior: "What are you fussing about? If they nerf it, won't you get hit too? (sweat)"
Hu Wan: "..."
"..."
…
Only gods can see all causes and effects.
Sometimes things that seem unreasonable may not be truly unreasonable, it's just that people's perceptions vary.
As a tier 0 player, Yiye Zhiqu's understanding is certainly not low, but it's impossible to imagine that in Wheat Field Village right under their noses, the Empire's "nuclear weapon" has moved in.
No wonder, the name Gunter is simply too common, and Steingrabe is not a particularly prominent surname.
He and his "Sword Qi" are too niche in the whole Aus Continent.
Although he achieved legend status with the sword in his hand, what truly made him a demigod wasn't his sword skill. It was the simple morals and chivalry in the hearts of the people of the Aus Continent and the legend he established by responding to their expectations with strength.
In other words, if he excelled with a gun, then he'd be a Gun Saint.
And if one day, he suddenly realizes the essence of faith and Extraordinary Power, and that Saint Sith is not any one "person" but all those who believe in Him themselves...
Then his Domain would no longer be a limited field but would become the entire world.
Not just that, he would transcend himself, hear another voice in his heart, and condense a Divine personality—
Just like the Emperor, Gutaf, and Linte Isaac all experienced back then.
At the same time, in a corner of Wheat Field Village, Sparrow Wood Territory's first "Rock Inn" finally went online.
The grey walls are simple yet filled with a hard texture, just like the high chimney and its modest name, bringing the warmth of home to travelers who stay there.
