Cangye could clearly feel that the screams that suddenly echoed outside the city-state made the bodies of the inhabitants of the city tremble, and their eyes were excited, determined, and numb.

It was a cry of madness and madness from its own kind, with indescribable excitement and deep despair.

"The hunt has begun, my people, fight for this country and kill all the lackeys of Witchmas!"

"Kill all the lackeys!"

In the same trembling howls, the war began with a bang.

……

What is the essence of war?

The Lord of Greed is passionate about war, as the emperor of the abyss reaps an astonishing amount of money from careerists who provoke wars.

Never-satisfying, never-temperate desires eventually evolve into uncontrollable greed, and driven by the nature of this original sinful desire, war pushes the country, society, nation, and civilization to the brink of destruction.

The Lord of War also loves war because it is what He lives by.

Only war can give birth to faith in war, and this faith will be the source of the growing Lord of war.

However, to put it mildly, the Lord of War is more like a demon fed by war than a ruler of war.

What is the essence of war? Is it killing? Is it sabotage? Is it destruction? Is it a strife that arises from dissatisfaction?

The essence is interests, superfluous interests, and missing interests, and if they cannot be resolved on the negotiating table, the final solution will always be war.

Forcibly ingesting it by force is always the quickest and most time-saving.

The Great Hunt was preceded by a war called the Hound Dog, which can also be called the 'War of the Lackeys'.

Wars arise out of conflicts of interest, and for the city-state of Monsut, the highest interest is survival, but under the control of an irreversible will, the cost of maintaining a minimum is infinitely higher.

The price to be paid is war.

The civil war of the same race in order to please the Great Will should be called some kind of comical and clumsy show.

The war for survival is hardly just, but it is absolutely correct for one's own position, but it is ironic that in order to deny the shame of surrendering to the strong, he plays a trick of self-deception, calling his fellow people who fight against him 'the lackeys of the witch horses'.

Each city-state has the right to insult the other, because all are subservient lackeys.

Solid walls and well-established fortifications were prepared in the early stages for their own kindred.

Fighting for survival, both sides do everything to the extreme.

Siege warfare, tunnel warfare, poison gas releases, espionage and counterintelligence, any tacit agreement that should have been conventional, was abandoned, emissaries were killed, medical personnel were killed, villages were burned, civilians were slaughtered.

'Fight for survival' is increasingly a self-deceptive slogan, and the people are eager to slaughter each other's forces so that the oasis is the only one left.

The reason is simple: dwindling water, shrinking oases, and depletion of resources are enough to destroy all the order established by justice and virtue.

Cangye watched this ridiculous war one after another with a cold eye, and I have to say that his vision is indeed good, since the start of the war in the five days, this city-state has defeated more than a dozen attacks.

It is often the first to start a war that is in the most difficult situation.

Every 'Hound Fight' is an opportunity to reshuffle the cards.

From the first city-state to the last city-state, all the ranking criteria are prepared according to the final ranking set in the two wars.

The first is the 'Hound War', in which the belligerents are of the same race as each other.

In this ridiculous war, each city-state plays according to the rules of the faction.

Factions are divided into besieging and defending sides. The besieging side is the city-state from the middle of the last ranking, ranked by the number of enemies killed and the number of cities broken;

The defending side is the city-state in the middle of the ranking, arranged by the length of time it has been defending, and if you can turn the passive into the active, counterattack and successfully defeat the attacker's city-state, you can greatly increase the ranking.

The main function of the 'War of the Hounds' is to screen and draw up a preliminary list, so that Wumas can be assigned to fight the low-ranked city-states with the majority of troops, and the high-ranked city-states with a small number of troops, and the most special status is the first city-state, which can avoid the threat of being conscripted by the Wumas, and at the same time, from the second city-state to the last city-state, a sacrifice must be made to the first city-state.

The so-called sacrificial offerings refer to various forms of resources.

In order to become the first winner, a fierce battle broke out between the same race, even a war against another race may not be so tragic.

This is the 'Great Hunt' that came after the 'War of the Hounds', in which the hounds degenerated into prey and became the playthings of the witch horses to pass the time of boredom.

At least in the eyes of the night, it's just one farce after another.

……

The Hound War would last for three months, but Night's city-state's advantage was exhausted on the seventeenth day.

This time the invaders were another city-state with a very similar rank, and this city-state was stuck at a time when the opponent had just repelled a group of invaders, and the city defenses were greatly worn out, and the defenders had no time to replenish them.

Strange soldiers descended from the sky, and in less than a moment, a battle-torn city wall changed hands. The invaders used this as a base to wage brutal stronghold warfare against the defenders who frantically poured in from all directions.

The development of the military tech tree to the point of misshape has brought about a massive change in combat style.

Siege warfare involves the accumulation of human lives by a large number of ordinary soldiers, often mixed with a small number of elite squads, to carry out the most efficient decapitation operations.

Thus, outside of the warrior profession, the most popular of the Monsutters were the Assassins.

Fighting in the dark is never easier than in the sun, and the assassination of the heads of both sides has never stopped since the beginning of the war.

From the battle of the assassins, it also allows Cangye to see the terrifying strength of the Monssoute royal family.

Resources are limited, and even the royal family cannot produce waste that can only eat, drink, and waste food.

Every child of the royal family had to undergo far more brutal training than the commoners from an early age to prove that he had the ability to control them, and in the case of heirs, even more rigorous training than his siblings to ensure that he had the right to dominate the city-state.

And in every trial, the most important thing is often prepared for the assassin.

Without the corrupt rules of justice and morality, the endless assassination was the most efficient form of combat beloved by every city-state of Monsut.

Therefore, a true royal child needs to fight not only the violence from the light, but also the threat from the shadows.
