In this world, there are also churches. In ancient times, there were gods greater than kings. When the Howard family started as an adult monarch, the church power was weakened.
Nowadays, the church is also a spiritual belief of the people to preach all kinds of sacred virtues and educate the people.
In addition, the most important duty of the church at present is that the empire should have a large number of priests.
Because the Abyss Great Wall Army has to fight many wars every year, the pastor team can effectively reduce the casualties of soldiers.
The church also grants magic, but there are few great wizards with strong human beings, and most of them are from noble backgrounds. Therefore, the magic corps has not yet been established, and at most, it has done a little bit in the war of thousands of wizards
In this world, human beings can’t compete with orcs, dragons and dwarves for their personal physical bravery, and they can’t compete with elves for their magical side.
But human beings are superior to reproductive ability, and large-scale command warfare.
When the scale of the war exceeds a certain level, the advantages of the Terran will be reflected.
Don’t say that the Elves may not have more than one million people in total at present.
Dwarves, with a population of about tens of millions, are not keen on having children, but are addicted to iron, mining, forging and wine making.
The reproductive ability of the orcs is not bad. Some races can give birth to a lot in one nest, but the mortality rate of their people is high. If the grassland resources are increased, the fertility is limited, and the population base has been around 100 million.
And Terran … The current population of Keya Empire has exceeded one billion!
It is said that there are 5 million active servicemen in the Sokoya Empire, which sounds like a lot, and it is reasonable in proportion, but the Great Wall Army actually has 3 million people except the defenders from all over the country.
It sounds like a lot, but the creatures in the abyss are just like being inexhaustible. If you continue to storm the Koya Empire on a large scale, you will not be able to hold it.
But the actual proportion seems reasonable on the whole. Lu Chen learned from Gu Lanting that nearly half of the defenders of the Imperial Great Wall were from the north.
The total population in the north is less than 30 million.
What is the concept of 30 million people and 1.5 million soldiers?
This is nearly 20%, which is equivalent to one in every 20 people in the north who are soldiers of the Great Wall.
There are both historical and geographical reasons for this phenomenon.
Geographically speaking, the northern border is the closest place to the Great Wall in Aika mainland. Once the Great Wall is broken, it will be their home first.
In the north, however, many people can join the army without enough food and no future. The salary of joining the Great Wall is high enough to support a family of five.
The historical reason is that kings of past dynasties deliberately controlled this phenomenon and did not vigorously develop the northern economy and improve people’s living conditions. This reason is more complicated and probably in many ways.
Lu Chen went all the way from the north to the south. What he saw was that the imperial famine was not as serious as he imagined. When he left the north and entered the fertile central plains, every family had enough to eat, and those noble gentry were as extravagant as ever.
Just like the banquet hosted by their Lord, it is no different from the most fertile moment of the empire in Duke Godzilla’s memory.
I really should have said that Zhu Men’s wine and meat stinks, and his bones freeze to death.
There is a strong enemy outside, and the king of Kuusla still has nothing to do with the disaster in the north. The ministers and nobles of the king have no admonishers. They have enough to eat and drink, and they don’t care whether the people in the north live or die.
They are more interested in the west rubbing against the orcs than the severe famine in the north, worrying about the war with the orcs.
At first, Lu Chen thought it was ridiculous and a little puzzled.
Later, he thought about it carefully before he understood the mentality of these people.
It’s very simple. To put it bluntly, guarding the Great Wall means guarding the mainland. Although I’m guarding it now, it’s not my family. It’s really broken. Can you come and help?
And since the abyss appeared and was beaten back to build the Great Wall, the war seems to have proved the abyss for many years.
Don’t you see that the Great Wall hasn’t been broken after five years of rotating a family to guard an era?
Long-term comfort has gradually made Aika mainlanders despise the abyss. Compared with this kind of "public righteousness", they have a dispute over mainland interests
For example, the orcs want to occupy the Terran’s rich territory and the Terran wants to die. If it’s a big deal, I won’t keep the Great Wall.
Foreign explorers have a wide field of vision, and Lu Chen naturally won’t share a mentality with people in this world.
The abyss will never be that simple, and the crisis is likely to be near.
"How many people have asked for the Duke?"
Gu Lanting walked beside Lu Chen and interrupted Lu Chen’s thinking while sitting in the gazebo.
"What identity?"
It’s a little strange that Lu Chen came during the meeting. It is supposed that no one will come to find himself at this time. They should all regard themselves as athel Loren.
King Kuusla also hasn’t moved since their meeting, as if he had really forgotten his brother.
Gu Lanting’s expression is weird. "They say that they are the defenders in the north of the city, and now they are retired. They want to take refuge in the Duke because they have seen the Duke’s heroic attitude."
Liu Chen hesitated "Let them come in"
Gulantin thought it was strange and incomprehensible, but when he thought about it, he understood that these people were explorers.
He also had the impression that at that time, he felt that there were several bold ways to peek at his sight.
After a while Gulantin led three people to come over.
Now that they are retired, they are all dressed in ordinary people’s clothes.
The first is a strong man with a scar on each corner of his eye. On the right hand side is a pretty and cute girl with a height of less than one meter. On the left hand side is a tall, thin and dark-haired man.
Three people pretend to respect eyes with a little uneasy and cautious awkward kneeling salute way "see the duke’s adult"
These three people are naturally Snorlax, Little Fairy Milk and Gengar, and their pet elf group still wants to cry and go to the king’s capital.
They didn’t want to come, but the main line left them with no choice
Originally, they stayed in the north of the city and thought about casually doing the branch line and brushing some origin coins, and then they quickly returned after several main lines were completed.
I didn’t expect Xiaoxian Milk to get something out of her personal ability, which led to the deviation of the third ring of her main line.
Little fairy milk is a plant mage and part-time nurse. One day, while practicing magic in the suburbs, a general in Linbei City saw it. The general was ecstatic and said that Little fairy milk had great talent.
At first, a few people in Snorlax were ecstatic, but later they could get more oil and water in Lincheng.
But that night they were greeted by assassins sent by the consul.
