"The Black City appeared earlier than the Hunter City, and has been expanding year by year. It is now about three times the size of the Hunter City."

Recognizing the ramming angle of the bow and confirming the origin of the fleet that released the pigeons, Xiao Yun told Ye An the size of the Black City and the various forces attached to it.

"The black city is so big?" Ye An asked in surprise.

According to him, Hunter City is already quite magnificent, a majestic and majestic city.The size of Heicheng is three times that, and the population in the city must also be doubled.Compared with Heicheng, the once arrogant and domineering Qiancheng is not enough.

"Indeed." Xiao Yun nodded. "The Black City was built on the plains. With its geographical advantages, the defense is very strong and it has a very rich source of supplies. The people of the Black City are good at hunting and planting. In addition, they are also good at refining fuel, tanning animal skins, and weaving cloth."

Listening to Xiao Yun's narration, Ye An gradually drew a rough outline of Heicheng in his mind.

This city is completely different from Thousand City, and also very different from Hunter City.Specifically, it is somewhat similar to the farming civilization at a certain stage before the catastrophe.But there are special parts mixed in it, which made him a lot of curiosity.

"But all of this stopped eight years ago." Xiao Yun changed the topic.

"Eight years ago?" Ye An was surprised.

"Really, there are signs as early as 30 years ago, that is, the year when Haicheng was destroyed." Xiao Yun's voice became lower and lower, "The current Heicheng, except for the resources accumulated in the early years, is not the same as other cities. There is not much difference. The hunting team is not small, and compared to individual abilities, it may not be as good as the Red City."

Ye An's heart moved slightly, contacting all the clues he had obtained before, an answer was about to come out, but he swallowed it back.

The destruction of Haicheng must be inseparable from Heicheng.

Thinking of Milo who stayed on the isolated island, thinking of this child's unique ability, and thinking of his origin, Ye An couldn't help frowning.

"Haicheng was destroyed 30 years ago. In the same year, the lord of Heicheng also died suddenly. The reason given to the outside world was very far-fetched, as if it was a joke. In fact, his death was caused by plotting against the Haicheng fleet. I know, but no one will say it. The new city lord claims to be his blood, but in fact there is no blood relationship at all, but the real city lord’s blood is nowhere to be seen." Xiao Yun leaned his back against the wall, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, revealing the secrets of the year .

"Nobody found out?"

"Yes. But so what?" Xiao Yun tilted his head, his sarcasm deepened, "Basically, the parties involved in the conspiracy didn't get much benefit, but each lost a lot. They were suspicious of each other and guarded against each other. When it is revealed that the successor of the Black City is not of the blood of the previous City Lord and does not have powerful abilities, guess what will happen?"

"Is there still a need to guess?" Ye An replied subconsciously.

"No need." Xiao Yun nodded.

The forces of all parties joined forces to conspire against Haicheng, trying to carve up the wealth in the city.There are also many betrayers who cooperate with each other inside and outside to take advantage of the fire.

Haicheng was hit by a hurricane and a tsunami, and the people in the city were besieged. When encountering a giant beast ashore, they were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

The fleet has been out at sea for many days without knowing what happened in the city.Even if someone ventured out and sailed out to sea to report the news, what they saw was not the returning warriors, but the same fleet of people who fell into the trap, were trapped by reefs and giant beasts, and sank to the bottom of the sea in the storm.

It all started with greed.Many forces planned this tragedy, but it was all in vain, and they didn't get everything they wanted.

Imagine that the conspirators and executioners have failed to hope, how can they feel at ease?

Instead of trusting each other, they would be suspicious of each other.When I return empty-handed, I will inevitably think, is someone else taking away what should belong to me, and then pretending to be in front of everyone?

"After the destruction of Haicheng, the alliances of the cities quickly fell apart and fell apart."

"During that time, Heicheng, Qiancheng, Jincheng, and Yancheng changed their rulers one after another. Only Red City didn't change much. As for Merchant City, the city lord has never been based on bloodlines, and the power changes frequently. The people in power at that time , the position was replaced by another force within two years, lost news shortly after leaving the city, and was probably killed in the wasteland."

Xiao Yun's tone didn't change much, and there were no more ups and downs in his tone.Just such a straightforward narration also made Ye An feel cold.

In his opinion, what Xiao Yun uncovered was just the tip of the iceberg.Just by this corner, people can still know how tragic Haicheng was back then, and how treacherous and treacherous the conspiracy was behind it.

"Among the forces replacing the city lords of the cities, Qiancheng, Yancheng and Jincheng all have traitors. But so far, only Qiancheng has really confirmed and grasped the facts." Xiao Yun's voice sounded again, pulling Ye An out of his contemplation pull back.

"So many?" Ye An's voice came out before he realized something was wrong.

Xiao Yun didn't care, but repeated: "Yes, so many."

Hearing the change in his voice, Ye An hesitated for a moment, then reached out and patted his shoulder.

Without personal experience, without actual experience, no one can truly empathize.But after he came to this world, he has repeatedly struggled on the line of life and death, and has his own experience of life and death.

Struggling in misery and predicament, I suddenly got a ray of sunshine, but in the blink of an eye I was told in the most cruel way that this ray of sunshine had been torn apart and destroyed.

Even though the two cannot be considered the same, let alone confused, Ye An has a deep understanding of the heart-piercing pain, the pain of gain and loss.

The memory of Mingfang is long gone, but it never fades.

Ye An often wondered, if Mingfang hadn't left the snowfield, if he had been stronger then, and could have faced any enemy like he is now, would Mingfang have survived?

However, there are no ifs in the world.

Ye An slowly tightened his fingers, gripping Xiao Yun's shoulder.

The next moment, the cold palm covered the back of his hand, Xiao Yun did not make a sound, bent down silently, and rested his forehead on Ye An's shoulder.

"Lend me for a while, can you?"

"can."

Ye An raised his hand to cover the back of Xiao Yun's head, and inserted his fingers into his hair. He could clearly feel the other party's emotions, like a flame wrapped in ice.

Neither of them made a sound, and the cabin became silent.

The little civet cat propped itself up on its hind legs, grabbed the board with its snow-white paws, and tried to climb up.Halfway through, she was pulled down by her mother's paw, and she bit the back of her neck and brought her back to her side.

The family of carrier pigeons leaned together, the male pigeon carefully combed the feathers of the female pigeon, and the little pigeon snuggled up to its mother, sleeping soundly with its eyes closed.

I don't know how long it has passed, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor, and Jason, who was resting in another cabin, was woken up by the people sent by Iron Axe. While sleepy, he learned about the situation on the water, and patted his bald head hard twice, completely awake come over.

"Come with me to meet the city lord!"

Jason came to the cabin with the hunter who delivered the letter. Since the cabin door was ajar, he could clearly see the situation inside.

Seeing someone coming, Ye An patted Xiao Yun on the back very naturally, and didn't think there was anything wrong with their posture.

Xiao Yun turned his head to the side and stood up straight after a moment of delay. He combed his somewhat messy forehead hair with one hand, and asked Jason and the hunter who were frozen in front of the door: "What's the matter?"

"Yes, yes, there is something to do!" Jason nodded vigorously, and was a little terrified by Xiao Yun's look. He pinched his thigh and told the news that a strange ship was approaching.

"Unfamiliar ship?" Xiao Yun asked.

"There are five ships in total, with animal-shaped rams on the bow."

After listening to Jason and Hunter's description, Ye An and Xiao Yun glanced at each other, and both had guesses about the identity of the visitor.It's just that neither of them expected that this fleet would come so fast.

"Go to the deck." Xiao Yun stepped out of the cabin, and the soles of his boots pressed across the corridor, making a blunt sound.

Ye An was about to walk out of the hatch when he suddenly stopped, turned to look at the carrier pigeon, and said with a smile, "Do you want to take revenge?"

The carrier pigeon tilted its head, understood Ye An's meaning, and immediately flapped its wings and let out a cooing sound.

The next moment, the male pigeon flew away from the wooden frame, circled around Ye An's head, folded its wings, and landed firmly on his shoulder.
