A frustrated magic student, Croten, was seduced by black magic under the misguided guidance of his mentor Podoc, and thus became a necromancer.

Croten used black magic to resurrect a terrifying undead army in the mines of Caroline City, which was abandoned due to the miners' strike, thus setting off a catastrophe that swept the empire.

The Necromancer Croten built the Necromancer Tower in the abandoned mines of Caroline City as the command center of the entire Undead Army, and the city of Holt, near Caroline City, became the first assault site for the Undead Army.

This was also the beginning of the entire catastrophe, known as the Holt City Massacre.

At this time, the city of Holt was hosting the empire's anniversary celebration, and Croten's undead army used the hustle and bustle of the city and the cover of night to move to the vicinity of the city.

The city guards were intoxicated with the atmosphere of the festival and did not notice the approaching danger. Because of this, Croten's undead army quickly broke through the defenses outside the city, killed the guards who were still sleeping, and then entered the city in large numbers.

The undead warriors quietly climbed up the city wall, killed the sentries on duty, and then opened the city gate. The undead army swarmed up and killed all the sleeping sentries in the camp. It's a pity that these sentries have not yet understood what happened, and they have become the ghosts of the undead sword.

At this time, the crowd mainly gathered in the square in the city center to celebrate the celebration, and did not notice the actions of the city gate at all.

As a result, the undead army quickly occupied the streets. Several imperial royal policemen tried to stop the undead army's actions, but were shot dead by undead archers.

However, a dying policeman sounded the alarm before he died, which caused the actions of Croten's undead army to be noticed by the city. In this way, the police on duty in Holt City and the undead army started a fierce battle on the streets.

The melee between the two sides soon triggered chaos throughout the city. Citizens fled in all directions, and the undead army took advantage of the situation to kill, causing a large number of casualties.

Soon the entire city of Holt evolved into a large slaughterhouse. Men and women were chopped down to the ground by the undead warriors, and blood flowed everywhere. The situation was simply horrible.

As the resistance of the defenders of Holt City was crushed by the undead army, the entire Holt City evolved into a massacre that lasted for three days. Except for a few thousand of the city's 250,000 residents who fled, the rest were killed by the undead.

After the massacre, the undead army set fire to the city and burned the entire city to ashes. The whole city was suddenly in flames. The fire burned for a long time, and even the night turned into day.

The undead army from the north invaded the mainland and brought immeasurable heavy losses to the empire. However, under the resistance of the people of the empire, various armies of the empire invaded the Castle of the Undead, killed the undead lord Crested, and eliminated the undead threat from the north.

After that, the Empire enjoyed decades of peace, but as industrialization progressed, it seemed that the Empire was once again facing the threat of the undead.

After decades of economic development, the empire has begun the process of industrialization. The towering chimneys and dark factories have brought a touch of modernity to this ancient country.

The Imperial Mining Company is a super giant that grew up here. It relied on its special relationship with the emperor to win the mining rights of Caroline City, a small town in the southern part of the empire.

The mining operations in Caroline City roar every day, and the entire city is filled with the smell of coal mines in the air.

Mining workers work like machines for more than ten hours a day. If any of them fall due to fatigue, they will be buried in mass graves like dogs. Their fate is very tragic.

“Efficiency is number one,” said Wallenster, president of the mining company.

When interviewed by reporters from the Empire Newspaper, Wallenst was always very excited: "Thanks to the emperor's grace, our company's performance is booming and mining efficiency continues to improve."

Because of this, "efficiency first" has become Wallenst's signature and motto and is widely circulated.

In addition to engaging in industry and manufacturing, the empire also has some specialized magic schools engaged in the research and study of magic. The best among them will be enrolled in the Empire's Magic Court and have the opportunity to become highly respected archmages.

Of course, like all other places that study magic, the Imperial Academy of Magic strictly prohibits the study of black magic, because there have been many cases in the past where many students became necromancers due to studying black magic, and the empire does not want the same accident to happen again.

However, the problem is that the boundaries between white magic and black magic are not very clear. In particular, many magicians privately encourage the study of black magic. Because it is not easy to cultivate mages with strong combat effectiveness, only 100 students can have the opportunity to become senior archmages every year.

But, in order to expand the combat capabilities of magicians, the imperial government requires that 500 senior mages be trained every year. Therefore, studying black magic has become the best choice to quickly master spell combat skills.

Magic student Croton is one of them.

Croten was originally just the son of a herdsman. After his father failed in business and committed suicide, Croten had no choice but to live in the capital with his mother.

In order for Croten to squeeze into the magic school and become a senior mage before the emperor, Croten's mother suffered a lot, working as a female worker for the rich during the day and doing needlework at night.

Croten finally entered the magic school and successfully became a full-time mage, but his mother died due to excessive fatigue. After losing his mother, Croton secretly vowed to become a senior archmage, which could be regarded as fulfilling his mother's last wish.

But studying magic is not an easy task. It requires the practitioner not only to have strong psychological abilities, but also to have strong ability to control thoughts. This is very difficult for a child like Croten who comes from a poor background.

As his grades in school continued to decline, his mentor Podock found him: "Student Croten, your magic grades continue to decline, which is constantly far away from your ideal of a senior archmage."

Croten said helplessly: "Teacher, I have tried my best. You should know my family situation."

Tutor Bodock: "Yes, yes, so I also want to help you." He paused and then said: "Have you ever heard of black magic?"

Croten was a little confused: "Of course I've heard of it, why do you ask this?"

Instructor Podoc: "With your current ability, it is impossible to reach the position of senior archmage through normal magic learning, so... you know."

Croten still didn't understand what his mentor meant.

Tutor Bodock was a little unhappy: "You are really an idiot. What I meant is that you can quickly improve your magic ability by studying black magic."

Hearing this, Croten was very frightened: "This is definitely not possible, teacher. Studying black magic is a very serious crime."

"I know, but as long as I don't tell it, and you don't tell it, how will outsiders know?" Podock smiled.

Croten was still hesitant, but Podock was a little impatient: "Classmate, do you know? Teachers like me need to train 500 senior mages for the empire every year. Through normal study, this is impossible. So we can only follow these crooked ways.”

"If you agree, then I can help you with all my strength. I have a book here that the necromancers studied black magic during the Undead War. You can refer to it." Bodock took out a long-dusted book from the hidden compartment.

Croten picked up the book and wiped it, and saw a red light suddenly flashing on it! Podock quickly took a black bag to cover it: "Are you crazy? If we are discovered by the agents of the empire, then both of us will be beheaded. Hide it well and never let others discover it. What are you doing today? You can go back early and I will give you special permission."

Croten returned to the simple apartment. After making sure that no one was there, he took out the book from the black bag. It was written by Death Knight Locke and Undead Earl Barrick with the blood of the victims during the Undead War. It records the situation of the Undead War in detail, and in addition, there are also methods of learning black magic.

It is said that those who have studied it will either become sacrifices to this book, or become powerful necromancers. The necromancer can summon powerful skeleton legions to open up territories for them.

Of course, having such a powerful ability usually means a very high price. Anyone who becomes a necromancer must sacrifice his body as a sacrifice, and he must become an immortal skeleton.

Croten seemed to be the person chosen by this evil book. After reading it, his magic power greatly increased. Of course, the evil aura in his body became more and more serious and difficult to cover up.

Members of the Empire's Order of Light Mage often patrol the streets and use their own magic to detect the evil spirits of passers-by. Once they find that the evil spirits are too high, they will be regarded as fellow travelers of the undead and burned alive by the Order of Light Mage.

As the evil aura in Croten became more and more serious, he knew that it was only a matter of time before he was captured by the Light Mage Order.

But he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

One afternoon, several people from the Light Mage Order came to the magic school for a routine inspection. They suddenly discovered that the smile of school was very evil, so they asked all teachers and students to be inspected on the playground.

In order to avoid detection, Podoc customized a close-fitting robe for Croten to cover up his unique smell as a necromancer.

When the people of the Light Mage Order checked Croten, they found no problem because Croten's smell was covered by the magic robe.

One of the members of the Light Mage Order stopped Croten: "Why are you wearing a robe?"

"I'm cold," Croten said.

The inspector of the Light Mage Order was puzzled: "Why? It's midsummer now, you shouldn't feel cold."

Croten continued to hide: "I have a cold"

The people of the Light Mage Order seemed to understand somewhat, but just when Croten was about to walk away, the inspector suddenly shouted: "Stop!"

Croten was shocked. The inspector stepped forward and said, "I am from the Order of Light Mage. I am here to give you a light magic therapy so that you can recover faster."

Croten tried to get rid of the inspector of the Light Mage Order: "No, thank you."

The prosecutor was very puzzled, so he became suspicious: "Stop! Take off your robe, I want to check!"

This move was rejected by Croten, and Croten turned around to leave, but was held down by the inspector on his shoulders: "What are you hiding?"

The inspector of the Light Mage Order grabbed Croten's robe in one fell swoop, instantly exposing Croten's void skeleton!

The inspector was shocked: "He is a necromancer, brothers, magic attack!"

However, when they tried to attack Croten, Croten instantly killed the four inspectors of the Order of Light Mage, and in the horror of everyone, he picked up his robe and fled the academy.

Afterwards, the mentor Podoc was sentenced to death by the Mage of Light for encouraging his students to study black magic. He was burned to death in public in the Empire State Plaza the next day.

The entire empire began to search for the necromancer Croten. In order to avoid pursuit, Croten had to flee to the south for refuge.

At this time, the miners in Caroline City went on strike because they had been ruthlessly exploited by mining companies for a long time. As a result, they suffered a tragic massacre.

Several workers who were fleeing the massacre detonated a box of explosives in the mine, causing the entire mine to collapse. The striking workers and the staff of the mining company were all buried underground.

Due to the destruction of the mine and the bombing of the mine, the Imperial Mining Company was forced to withdraw from Caroline City. When Croten fled to Caroline City, it was already a month after the incident.

The workers who had gone on strike had long since turned into bones. Croten looked at the bones scattered all over the pit, and in connection with his own experience, a cruel idea of revenge was born in his heart.

As a necromancer, Croten has the ability to summon an army of the undead. He murmured to the corpses in the pit: "Wake up, wake up, warriors, and use human blood to wash away your anger and shame."

A red light shot out from the ground into the sky. As the earth's crust shook, the bones stood up one after another, picked up swords, guns and armor, and turned into a terrifying undead army.

At this time, Holt City, adjacent to Caroline City, was holding an anniversary celebration. Croton stood on a high place, looking at the fireworks in the city and said: "Let's take this city as our first sacrifice, warriors, start attacking!"

A tragic massacre is about to begin.

This war is a war that destroys all wars. The purpose of this war is to destroy the existence of sovereign states and establish the domination of the entire world, and then establish a world government.

The tragic Third World War destroyed the foundation of the entire world. In order to ensure that there would never be another war in the world, international communists united to launch a revolution in North Africa, which eventually led to the outbreak of the Internationalist Revolutionary War.

Out of concern about the international communist revolution, the United States and Europe formed an international intervention force in panic in an attempt to strangle the revolution.

However, because the Third World War weakened the United States and Europe as a whole, making them not as strong as they were before the war, the efforts of the international intervention force were unsuccessful due to the determined resistance of the revolutionaries.

After defeating the American and European intervention forces, the revolutionaries reorganized internally, established the "International Communist Revolutionary Army" (ICRA), and soon launched a massive march into the Mediterranean.

ICRA's troops made successful landings in the Apennine Peninsula, the Iberian Peninsula and the Balkans. This was also ICRA's initial effort to enter Europe.

Soon Frankfurt, Warsaw and other important cities were occupied, and the imperialists were forced to retreat northward and built strong fortresses in the Nordic region in an attempt to resist the advance of the revolution.

But the revolution is unstoppable

The communists held a military conference in Frankfurt and formulated a detailed military action plan to conquer Northern Europe, which was code-named "Nordric Lion".

There is no doubt that if the communists choose to march from the Karelian Panhandle on the Russian-Finnish border, they will undoubtedly repeat the mistakes of the Soviet-Finnish War of the 1930s.

The snowy forests and swamps on Finland's border with Russia would be a nightmare for tanks and mechanization. So the communists formulated a new battle plan for Finland.

That is to give up invading Finland from the Russian side, and instead choose to attack from the Baltic Sea direction, capture Sweden first, and then use the Swedish capital Stockholm as a springboard to land in Turku. This place is very important. To the east, it can reach Helsinki, the capital of Finland, and to the north, it can control Oulu, an important town in northwest Finland.

There is no doubt that Helsinki has become an important stronghold of imperialism in Northern Europe, so its defense is not lax, so the communists can only choose to land in Turku. In this way, the communists could capture Helsinki and control the Gulf of Finland at the same time. It could be said that they killed two birds with one stone.

Because of this, under the guidance of the new military plan, the communist troops feinted near the Karelian strait and fired artillery shells and missiles to attract the attention of the Finnish army. On the other hand, the communist army increased its offensive momentum against Sweden and made a surprise landing in Turku.

While the Finnish army was still confronting the communist troops in Karelia, the main force had already besieged Helsinki, the capital of Finland.

After learning that the capital was under siege, the Finnish army began to return to Helsinki, but soon the troops marching from Sweden had entered Finland and began to attack Oulu. At the same time, the troops in the Karelian Territory also took the opportunity to launch an attack. It was difficult for the Finnish army to take into account the battlefields in three directions and could only mainly assist Helsinki.

This is the famous "Battle of Helsinki". The fighting mainly took place outside Helsinki and lasted for three days. Hundreds of thousands of troops from both sides fought brutally outside the ice and snow city of Helsinki. Corpses piled up like mountains, and the blood of soldiers from both sides dyed the snow red.

It is precisely because of the cruelty of this battle that later people called it the "Battle of Red Snow"

No matter what the name is, after this brutal battle, the Finnish army suffered heavy losses and was forced to retreat to the north. The communist army occupied Helsinki, which also broke the last bastion of imperialism in Northern Europe.

Later, after the communists occupied Moscow, a new ICRA Southern Corps was formed, mainly responsible for combat operations throughout the southern hemisphere. Later, ICRA crossed the Bering Strait, brought the war to the North American continent, and finally captured Washington, the capital of the United States, through a bloody battle.

This war finally ended the dominance of capitalism in the world and opened a new page in human history.

Under the leadership of the Earth Republic and the desperate resistance of all mankind, the cosmic hegemon New Galactic Empire and the Mars Republic failed in their attempt to capture the earth.

The alien forces suffered heavy casualties in this military operation. The commander-in-chief of the New Galactic Empire, Mortles, The general also betrayed the New Galactic Empire and led a hundred thousand defeated soldiers to flee to the Vermont star at the edge of the solar system.

Although the Republic of Mars participated in the attack by alien forces against the Republic of Earth this time, the Republic of Earth was unable to take new military actions against Mars due to its serious damage to its own strength.

After all, the purpose of the Martians is to attack the earth's position in the solar system and then seek leadership in the solar system, that is, to seek the hegemony of the so-called "Pan-Solar System Alliance".

"It seems that we currently do not have enough strength to punish the Martians for their military operations against us," North American Commander Yoshio Yamada wrote in a report to the Earth Defense Force.

Yoshio Yamada took over as commander-in-chief of the Earth Defense Force's North American garrison after his previous commander, Admiral Matras, was killed during the New Galactic Empire's offensive in North America. After all, the world is unified, so naturally there will be no Japanese or Americans anymore, everyone is a native of the earth.

However, many people within the Earth Republic did not like the fact that Yamada Yoshio took over as the North American Commander, especially the Earth Defense Force European Garrison in Munich.

Of course, the contradiction between the European Command and the North American Command gave some forces trying to subvert the Earth Republic the best opportunity to see it, and it almost caused a major crisis.

Immediately after Yamada Yoshio sent the report to the Earth Defense Force's headquarters in Paris, the Supreme Council of the Earth Republic received an anonymous report.

This complaint material accuses Yamada Yoshio of failing to provide assistance when the New Galactic Empire besieged Atlanta, the headquarters of the North American Command, which directly led to the death of Admiral Matras. It also implies that Yamada Yoshio had a secret deal with the New Galactic Empire.

To be honest, this reporting material is actually very ridiculous, because it is a well-known fact that the commander-in-chief of North American Command, General Matras, was not killed in Atlanta.

The Battle of Atlanta did bring a big crisis to the North American headquarters. The New Galactic Empire's army almost broke through the city and captured General Matras alive. Fortunately, Yoshio Yamada led the Yamada Corps and arrived in time to avoid the crisis.

Later, Admiral Matras was seriously injured when the New Galactic Empire detonated a nuclear weapon during the battle to liberate Tampa City, and finally died of his injuries. This was considered the highest-ranking general lost by the Earth Republic in the entire battle.

Therefore, this report material was not taken seriously when it was sent to the Earth Parliament. Most of the members just regarded it as a joke.

But later, a congressman named Kerens wrote a report to the Earth Republic government, which questioned Yoshio Yamada's military operations and Admiral Matras. The report calls for the government and Earth Defense Force headquarters to investigate Yoshio Yamada.

The Earth Republic government and the Earth Defense Force headquarters only gave a brief reply to Senator Keren, believing that Senator Keren's report did not have enough factual basis and was purely an "unrealistic delusion."

After all, Yamada Yoshio had made great achievements in the battle with aliens. Dealing with such an outstanding general at this time may cause dissatisfaction among the soldiers. The Earth Republic government considered the social impact, so it only reprimanded Senator Keren.

However, Senator Krens did not give up. He later widely created public opinion in the media and the Internet, accusing Yamada Yoshio of being a "traitor" and responsible for the death of General Matras, which caused quite a stir in public opinion. Then, Councilor Krens united with some generals from the European headquarters of the Earth Defense Force in Munich to write to the Earth Republic government and parliament, demanding an investigation into Yoshio Yamada's "culpability."

The first thing that caused dissatisfaction was naturally the general dissatisfaction among the officers and soldiers of Yoshio Yamada’s regiment in the North American Command. They could not tolerate Senator Kren’s slander and smear campaign against Yoshio Yamada, and they fought back against Senator Kren’s rumor-mongering.

However, Senator Kerens continued to attack Yoshio Yamada, which eventually led to some radical officers and soldiers assassinating Senator Kerens. Senator Krens was openly shot to death by a group of Earth Defense Force soldiers at a public media conference, causing a public outcry.

Kerens was a member of the Earth Republic Parliament. His shooting naturally aroused strong uneasiness in public opinion, because the public questioned whether the Earth Defense Force was "covering up the truth," thereby intensifying criticism of the Earth Defense Force, especially the North American garrison.

The Earth Republic government was also very dissatisfied with the Earth Defense Force's reckless behavior in disobeying the government's instructions, so it called and severely condemned Yamada Yoshio. Yamada Yoshio was forced to execute the murderous soldier under dual pressure from the government and the public.

Although the perpetrators were killed, public skepticism did not abate and pressure on the government continued to mount. At the same time, Senator Kerens' friends, that is, some generals at the European headquarters of the Earth Defense Force, are also very dissatisfied with the cover-up behavior of the North American Command and the Asian Command.

They strongly demanded that the European Command take "decisive measures", that is, military strikes, against the North American Command and the Asian Command. Some radical European Command officers and soldiers even flew fighter planes to blow up several military bases in the Asia Command's Middle East region, causing heavy casualties.

For a time, the relationship between European Command, North American Command and Asia Command was very tense, and there was a risk of another world war breaking out around the world.

In order to destroy the presence of the People's Will Army in Africa, the United States and Russia made a dirty deal. The United States used the promise of selling Ukraine to Russia as bait to instruct Russia to form an African Corps to destroy the People's Will Army.

Under the temptation of being able to obtain the entire territory of Ukraine, Russia mobilized troops from various places within a few months to form the Russian African Corps, equipped with the most advanced artillery tanks and missiles to achieve the purpose of annihilating the People's Will Army.

The Russian army sent troops from the Caucasus and Central Asia. With the help of Egypt, it passed through the Sahara Desert and reached the Western Sahara front line, and launched a surprise attack on the positions of the People's Will Army.

Despite the desperate resistance of the soldiers of the People's Will Army, they were still unable to stop the Russian army's advance. The Russian army quickly occupied Laayoune and approached the southern part of Western Sahara. Morocco in the northern part of Western Sahara is also ready to move, trying to cooperate with the Russian army's combat operations to maintain its reactionary colonial rule in Western Sahara.

The People's Will Army faces very serious and serious challenges.

June is the hot season in the Sahara Desert, and people in the headquarters of the People's Will Army in southern Western Sahara are panicked. The generals of each corps are waiting for the commander-in-chief, General Moraes, to guide the next march strategy.

"When will the general arrive?" said Major General Wallers, a general from the 2nd Corps.

Adjutant Parker replied helplessly: "It should be soon. Please be patient, General."

"Patience? I am patient. Do the Russians have patience? Do the Russian troops have patience? As far as I know, the Russian army will soon approach the city, and we can do nothing." Major General Wallers said.

Before Adjutant Parker could speak, another general Kapuscha said: "Yes, although I am still nominally the commander of the corps, my corps has almost been wiped out by Russia. If this situation continues, Then I can no longer continue to be the commander of the Corps."

Yes, the war with Russia had only begun a few months ago, and the People's Will Army suffered a lot of losses.

Just when everyone was talking about it, a voice sounded: "Have you said enough?"

The person who said this was none other than General Moraes, and everyone saluted the general when they saw him.

Admiral Moraes motioned for everyone to sit down, and then he said: "The situation is very difficult, I think everyone knows. I just came back from our base camp in Mozambique. It is safe there for the time being, but the situation is not good either."

He paused and said: "The Americans have blocked the Strait of Madagascar, and our sea access has been cut off. This means that we have lost the sea supply line that we depend on for survival."

"But no matter what the situation is, we as soldiers have to fight until the last moment. This is our mission. Yes, the Russian artillery and missiles are very powerful, but we have to tear a hole even with our mouths.” General Moraes said excitedly

The general's speech won praise from everyone present. Everyone immediately recovered from the frustration of the unfavorable battlefield and shouted loudly that they would fight the Russians to the end.

"Destroy the invaders! Recover Laayoune!" Everyone shouted wildly, and the entire headquarters was filled with deafening sounds.

The general was happy to see that his speech had boosted morale, so he took advantage of the situation and issued an order: "Now I order all the corps to immediately switch to a counter-offensive posture. Do the Russians think they have defeated us? Then we have to catch them off guard!"

The generals immediately exited the headquarters excitedly and returned to their respective command posts to issue counterattack orders.

At this time, Adjutant Parker was still a little uneasy: "Are you encouraging them to carry out a meaningless charge? I'm afraid we are no match for the Russian missiles and artillery."

General Moraes smiled: "I just got a batch of the latest artillery and tens of thousands of artillery shells from Mozambique. I believe they should be enough for us to launch a counterattack. At least we should drive the Russians out of the southern part of Western Sahara, and This is also a warning to Morocco.”

After hearing this, Adjutant Parker suddenly realized: "It turns out that you disappeared for a while to seek support. But this batch of ammunition is definitely not produced in Mozambique, our home base, right? Because although our base camp can produce some weapons and ammunition, the quantity is relatively limited."

General Moraes replied: "You are right, someone is "sponsoring" our cause, there is no doubt about it. As for who it is, you don't need to know."

Moraes later said before leaving: "Adjutant Parker, our army is about to shift to a counterattack. I need you to draw up a specific plan and then distribute it to the generals. Now I am going to inspect the forward positions."

Adjutant Parker: "Yes, General"

With the efforts of Adjutant Parker and other generals, the People's Will Army began a full-front counterattack. After intensive shelling, the People's Will Army began to attack the Russian front at full speed.

General Morath's prediction was good. The Russians did not expect that the People's Will Army could actually launch a counterattack under the attack of Russian artillery and missiles, and the counterattack was so large. This was far beyond the imagination of the Russians.

General Morath was satisfied to see the Russian defense line blown into a ball of fire by artillery shells through the telescope, and then said to Adjutant Parker: "I think we can eat Russian canned meat today."

Adjutant Parker smiled and said: "And vodka."

After saying that, both of them laughed.

Chris and others once again embarked on their escape journey. On the way, they heard the bad news through the radio that Cullen City had been breached. When the city was broken, Yesid sent an emergency telegram to the whole country asking for help, and stated that he would fight the enemy to the bitter end.

After hearing Yesed's final telegram, Chris couldn't help crying. Everyone else fell silent.

It seems that the flat city is destined to be unable to compete with the powerful marine creatures. Fortunately, the convoy of Chris and others has entered the mountains. Chris and others can rely on the mountains to temporarily block the threats from the jungle and the ocean.

The towering Morandir Mountains stretch for dozens of miles and are an effective barrier against enemies. Many people who fled from the city gathered here.

There are no emperors, nobles, chiefs, or bosses here. There are just people fleeing.

The refugees dug simple steps into the mountain and used explosives and other methods to dig out caves to live in. Chris and others lived in a natural cave.

Large and small caves were crowded with fleeing citizens and even defeated soldiers. Everyone endured the wind and sun in the caves.

It is really a great irony that the arrogant humans in the past were driven out of the city by a group of animals and lived in caves like their ancient ancestors.

The only difference is that the ancient ancestors came out of the caves to the plains and established villages and cities. Now, due to the invasion of organisms, humans have to move out of the cities and villages and return to the caves.

Chris looked at the sky outside the cave and fell into deep thought.

Can we just hide in caves like mice?

Are we, the human beings, going to be bullied to pieces by a group of livestock?

Just as Chris was thinking, Barrod came over and said: "I don't think we can hide anymore. Hiding like this is not an option."

Chris thought so too, so he nodded and said nothing.

Barrod continued: "Maybe we can create a mutual aid group to combat threats to marine life."

In this way, with just a few words, a group called "Binhai Refugee Mutual Aid Association" was established.

At this stage, the Russia-Ukraine war is protracted, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict continues, the situation in the Taiwan Strait is changing, and uncertain events may occur at any time. We can say that the entire world is currently in a situation of great insecurity. What is the fundamental reason why the world has become so unsafe? In fact, it comes from the so-called "clash of civilizations theory."

The theory of the clash of civilizations originated from Huntington's book of the same name. In this book, the world was forcibly divided into various civilization regions, such as Chinese civilization, Hindu civilization, Germanic civilization, etc. In Huntington's narrative logic, civilizations must be in conflict and a life-and-death struggle. This view of the conflict of civilizations has influenced later generations, including many current theorists.

But are civilizations necessarily in conflict? Could it be that there is no other path between civilizations other than conflict?

This is obviously not in line with the general logic of historical dialectics and is a wrong understanding. This kind of understanding forcibly divides human civilization, separates the connections between human beings, creates gaps between human beings, and creates barriers for some countries such as the United States. The civilized racists provide ideological ammunition. This is the root cause of constant conflicts in the world, including the current confrontation between China and the United States.

If we want to eliminate antagonism and confrontation in the world, then we need a new concept of civilization development to look at the relationship between the world's major civilizations, that is, from the theory of conflict of civilizations to the theory of cooperation among civilizations. Civilizations must cooperate with each other instead of conflicting and confronting each other. Both Chinese civilization and Western civilization need to cooperate with each other in order to jointly build prosperity and peace.

Hegel once said: If you want to solve a pair of contradictions, you need a higher-dimensional thinking method to solve them.

The same is true for conflicts between civilizations. Whether it is the confrontation between China and the United States or the war between Russia and Ukraine, we need to build a larger set of ideological methods to bridge these conflicts and solve the world's troubles. So I call this new way of thinking "global integration."

Through the thinking method of global integration, we can create a higher-dimensional civilization system based on the levels of each major civilization, that is, earth civilization. All other civilizations are just a subset of the earth's civilization. In this way, through the creation of a higher-dimensional civilization system, people all over the world can find the same sense of belonging, that is: we are all earthlings.

At the same time, after we have the thinking method of globalization and the identity of Earthlings, we can create a new philosophical concept on this basis, that is, world government and global government, and further, the Republic of the Earth.

From the perspective of Hegelian dialectics, we can divide like this:

• Existence: The Global Integration
• Essence: The Economic Globalization
• Phenomena: The Political Integration
• Reality: The World Government
• Concept: The Earth Republic

The theory of the clash of civilizations and the series of theories derived from it that artificially demarcate the regions of human civilization are actually not conducive to mutual cooperation and unity among human beings. They will only increase the antagonism and conflict between civilizations and are not conducive to world peace, prosperity and stability. fundamental overall situation.

There is no difference between human civilizations just like humans themselves. They are all one community and are all people of the earth. There is no need to distinguish the differences between them. There is no Islamic civilization, and there is no Western civilization. There is only one civilization, and that is the civilization of the earth, or human civilization in a broad sense.

Moreover, with the continuous advancement of human science and technology, we humans, or in other words, we earthlings, will sooner or later face challenges and threats from outer space and even alien planets. At the same time, our earth must also explore for its own survival. The universe, and all these things, require us on earth to unite, eliminate differences and barriers between civilizations, and face the challenges of the universe together.

Our current confrontation with the United States and the West is also for our own development and rise, not to kill the United States and the West. In fact, Western civilization led by the United States is an important part of the entire world civilization. We cannot Nor should the United States and Western civilization be excluded from the world system but should cooperate with it.

Tolerance and tolerance are not only the traditional virtues of our Chinese civilization, but also in line with the basic meaning of the "Oriental Renaissance". The Eastern Renaissance is not about rejecting Western civilization. On the contrary, the Eastern Renaissance is about absorbing the achievements of Western civilization and then creating a new ideological edifice on top of it. This actually coincides with the thinking of global integration.

The quiet coastal town has been brutally attacked by marine life. As a fisherman in a coastal town, Chris led some surviving townspeople and several police officers to escape the town in an abandoned bus under the desperate protection of Royal Police Warren and a group of police officers. They were temporarily given a chance to survive.

A long time after the bus started driving, the sun had risen high, but Chris still couldn't calm down in his heart. The bloody scenes still kept appearing in front of Chris's eyes. The beheaded Luna and Warren's tragic death made him unable to recover from the panic for a long time.

The townspeople and police who escaped from danger were also silent. Everyone had just experienced a bloody test and had not yet gotten rid of the great fear.

Only the bus driver, Barrod, drove the car in an orderly manner. Although he was very frightened in his heart, he knew that he could only be worthy of the dead Warren if he drove the car steadily.

By noon, the bus was basically out of danger and arrived at the inland city, Kulun City. The blood-covered townspeople and police officers got off the bus one after another, and their hearts began to gradually calm down.

News of the attack on coastal towns has reached Cullen City, which has taken alert measures. The roads are filled with sandbags and roadblocks. Trenches have been dug and sandbags piled on the edge of the city in preparation for attacks by marine life.

In fact, the entire coastal areas of the empire have been attacked by marine creatures to varying degrees, and a large number of mature monsters have also appeared in the inland forest areas. Both the docile sheep and the hard-working oxen seemed to have gone crazy. They all picked up swords and guns and started this war against humans.

Tigers, jackals and lions all wore fine armor and held swords and spears. Even the birds of the sky have joined their ranks. Whether it is the geese returning south, the white pigeons, or even the eagles, they have all turned into murderous demons.

Almost the entire empire was at war at the same time, and military and police forces from all over the country gathered to fight to the death against the invading birds and beasts on the border. In order to deal with the problem of insufficient troops, the imperial government was forced to open its arsenals and allow citizens to arm themselves to resist the invasion of these beasts.

Cullen City also received a similar order, and the entire city entered a state of first-level combat readiness. Trenches and concrete walls were built one after another to block the attacks of the creatures.

The gas station where Chris and the townspeople were located was transformed into a temporary headquarters. Dense wires covered the entire gas station. Chris and the townspeople received food and other relief supplies in a tent outside the gas station.

A middle-aged man wearing a cowboy hat warmly received Chris and his party: "Hello, my name is Yesed, and I am the interim acting mayor of Cullen City. Currently, I am solely responsible for leading the citizens to guard this place, uh, I can be considered a commander."

Yested's humor temporarily calmed Chris and the nervous townspeople.

Afterwards, Yesed introduced some situations in Cullen City to Chris and the others, while Barrod filled up the passenger car's fuel tank at the gas station in case of emergency.

The movement of the sea creature was much faster than Chris imagined. In the evening, its forward troops had already reached the suburbs of the city.

After observing the enemy situation, the lookout post in Cullen City immediately rang the bell to warn: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Immediately afterwards, a white flare flashed across the dark night sky, indicating that the attack of sea creatures had begun. Soon, the watchtower was hit by the enemy's trebuchet, and it suddenly burst into flames. The guards on the tower were covered in fire, and then fell down screaming, and soon became silent.

Under the cover of the trebuchet, the marine creatures launched a rapid attack. The citizens used shotguns, bows and arrows to resist bravely, and the fighting lasted all day and night.

The citizens fought with marine life all night long and repelled the enemy attack at dawn. Chris stayed up all night due to excessive nervousness and fell asleep in a drowsy manner in the early morning.

But soon, the attack of sea creatures started again. Under the command of Gudemos (the high priest of sea creatures), the ferocious army of sea creatures launched a fierce attack, and the exhausted defenders could only continue to fight. The fighting continued until dusk, before the enemy was forced to retreat.

In this way, the defenders of Cullen City and the army of marine creatures have been fighting back and forth for several days. Both sides have suffered heavy losses. The ground is full of corpses of creatures and humans, and the smell is unpleasant.

The gas station where Chris was located was also hit by several stone-throwing bombs, killing several townspeople. The enemy's trebuchets smashed a large hole in the roof of the gas station, which could only be covered with wooden boards.

The fighting is still going on, and the citizens of Cullen City are worried day and night, unable to sleep. Chris doesn't know how long such a cruel fighting will last. Every night, Chris lay on a simple iron bed, looking up at the endless starry sky, not knowing where the future would lead.

Such cruel years lasted for several weeks, and Barrod and the townspeople finally lost their patience. One morning, at Barrod's suggestion, Chris agreed to the action plan to evacuate Cullen City.

Chris then met Yesed at the gas station and explained their intention to leave.

"I have to take responsibility for the townspeople," Chris said.

Yesed smiled: "It doesn't matter, I understand your difficulties."

Before leaving, Chris asked Yesed: "Aren't you going to leave with us?"

Yesed smiled: "This is my city. Even if I die, I will die here."

After hearing these words, Chris suddenly felt a surge of sadness in his heart. He thought of Detective Warren who died tragically in front of him.

Barrod patted Chris on the shoulder: "Everyone has something to do. This is true for Warren, and the same is true for Yesed, but we must continue to live."

Chris had no choice but to board the escape bus. As the bus slowly started moving, Chris and others once again embarked on their escape journey.

Since the birth of human beings, admirable miracles of civilization have been developed, but the infinite demands on nature have also caused the displeasure of all creatures. From mountains and forests to oceans, a large-scale disaster that will end human civilization is about to begin.

"Look, I caught another big fish!" A fisherman was showing off his today's achievement to his companions.

The fisherman, Chris, looked at his fully loaded basket and responded feignedly: "Good, good."

They are all fishermen of the Imperial Deep Sea Fishing Company, responsible for salvaging fish and shrimp in the southeast coastal area of the Empire.

The Horandis Empire has developed fishery resources, and there are dense forests in the territory, which can be said to be inexhaustible and inexhaustible natural resources.

Chris, like other fishermen, wakes up early and stays late, goes out early and returns late. His daily hard work is only for the few thousand dollars a month. Although he is very tired, he also enjoys it.

After stuffing the hold of their own fishing boat to the brim, they did not forget to catch some other fish for themselves to fill their own fish baskets, because that was their dinner today.

Chris sat on the side of the boat and lit a cigarette leisurely. Delicious grilled fish was steaming in the cabin, and the aroma spread throughout the fishing boat.

The companion who caught the big fish just now was named Sergey, and it seemed that he had good luck today.

Sergey's grilled fish is devouring the delicious grilled fish, while Chris is still enjoying the comfort of the melodious sea breeze.

While Chris was still enjoying the comfort of the sea breeze, a shark was slowly approaching his fishing boat, but Chris had no idea that danger had come.

When Chris was humming a ditty on the deck of the fishing boat, Sergey had just finished eating the grilled fish and came out of the cabin. At this time, Chris’s grilled fish was also ready, and Sergey suddenly found the shark. .

He yelled: "Chris, danger!"

Chris suddenly woke up from the deck. The shark knew that he had been exposed, and simply launched a swift attack. It was too late and then too fast, the shark quickly destroyed Chris's fishing boat, and Chris hurriedly used a harpoon to defend himself. And stabbed the shark.

The shark sees that Chris is a tough guy, so he switches targets and attacks Sergey instead.

With a sharp stab from the shark, Sergey was immediately buried in the belly of the fish, and the deck and the nearby sea water were stained red with blood. In just a few minutes, Sergey became a delicious meal for the shark.

Chris was frightened out of his wits, hurried ashore and escaped unharmed.

After Chris returned to the company's office in the town, the clerk Luna saw Chris who was in a panic and was very puzzled: "Chris, what's wrong with you? Have you completed today's task? Sergey Why didn't you come back with you?"

Chris calmed down and said: "We were attacked by sharks, Sergey, he was eaten by sharks."

Luna laughed after hearing this: "Chris, are you confused? How could there be sharks in this place?"

Chris yelled: "It's true, I read it right"

Luna was skeptical, but to be on the safe side, she notified the local Royal Police. The Royal Police did not believe Chris's report, but still sent two royal policemen to follow Chris to the shore where the incident occurred.

Strangely, the fishing boats on the shore were neatly placed there, and Sergey was still sitting there fishing. Sergey saw Chris and waved at them.

Chris was shocked, so he ran forward and asked Sergey: "Aren't you eaten by a shark? Who are you?"

Sergey was very puzzled: "Are you crazy? Didn't I stand here well? How could I be eaten by a shark?"

Luna was very dissatisfied: "Chris, if this is your joke, then it is obviously too much!"

The Royal Police also said: "Obviously, Mr. Chris, what you said is not true. It seems that there is no need for us to stay here."

Chris looked innocent, why did the tragedy that had happened suddenly disappear? This is too strange.

After Chris returned home, he was puzzled. He firmly believed that his judgment was correct, and that Sergey must be a fake, but he couldn't produce any evidence to expose his true face.

After a few weeks, Chris gradually forgot about it.

The shark incident did not stop because of this. More and more people in the town claimed to have seen sharks attacking humans and fishing boats, but due to lack of solid evidence, they did not pay enough attention.

Time passed day by day, and the town returned to its former calm.

One night, when the people in the town were sleeping soundly, the nearby sea water suddenly began to boil, with bubbles constantly bubbling on the surface of the water, and then a monster with a shark head and a human body came out of the water. He wears armor and holds a harpoon in his hand.

After the sharkman came out, after making sure the surroundings were safe, he picked up a horn and blew it, and a figure emerged from the darkness, he was Sergey.

Of course he is not Sergey. The real Sergey has been eaten by a shark. This is a frog wizard who uses magic to pretend. His name is Gudmos.

After Gudemoth appeared, he waved his staff and immediately landed many aquatic creatures from the water, including lizard soldiers with sabers, sea lion soldiers and seal soldiers with long spears, and the main force was harpoons. Sharkmen, these sea creatures have been patient with humans for a long time.

Gudemos walked in front of this ocean army and said: "Brothers, we have endured the merciless fishing of humans all year round, and today is the time for them to pay back. Those humans are already asleep, and tonight is you Time to hunt, go, for the ocean, long live!"

Lizard soldiers, sharkmen, sea lions and seals all rushed into the town with a yell. They entered every house and killed anyone they saw. Many people have had their heads chopped off by these sea creatures in their sleep.

Hearing people's screams, Chris picked up a wooden stick and walked to the street. He saw that the street was full of mature sharks, lizards, crabs, etc. For a while, even Chris couldn't believe it. what happened.

Just when he was confused, Luna ran up to him covered in blood and shouted: "Help me, save me." Behind her was a seal soldier holding a spear, and Chris held The stick fell and smashed the seal soldier's head.

Luna saw Chris helping her kill the seal soldier and was about to thank her, but then she was beheaded by a lizard soldier, and Chris was splashed with blood. After the lizard soldier killed Luna, he was about to kill Chris, but was shot in the head.

It was the Royal Police who went to the scene with Chris some time ago, Warren, who was on duty tonight and encountered marine life killing, so he and several Royal Police came to help.

Warren pulled up Chris, who was out of his wits, and yelled: "If you don't want to die, then follow me! Brothers, hold on to me."

Warren and the police kept Chris and several other civilians behind them and shot and fought the enemy, but Warren and his brothers were few and alone, and soon ran out of bullets.

Many brothers died from the spears of the seals or the swords of the lizards, and one brother was caught by the claws of the crab soldiers and thrown into the air, and finally fell to his death.

Chris and a few civilians fought and retreated under the cover of Warren and his brothers. There was a bus at the edge of the town, and Chris, the civilians, and a few brothers boarded the bus.
After Warren shot off, just as Warren was about to get into the car, he was hit by the shark's harpoon. Chris saw it and yelled: "Warren, how are you?"

Before dying, Warren held Chris's hand and said, "Go away...go away..."

Chris had no choice but to order to drive, and Chris and a car of passengers just disappeared into the dark night sky.

The dispute between Venezuela and Guyana over the Essequibo region culminated in a horrific war over the oil-rich Essequibo region. Venezuela's 300,000-strong army launched a sudden attack on Guyana from multiple routes. To make matters worse, Guyana's eastern neighbor, Suriname, also launched an armed raid on Guyana the next day.

The bourgeois government of Guyana, which suffered a serious invasion, sued Venezuela and Suriname for the invasion to the United Nations. However, the major powers in the United Nations Security Council did not take substantive military action against the invasion out of their own interests, and only issued harsh statements to condemn the invasion.

This undoubtedly proves the incompetence of the United Nations in maintaining international order and the decadence and incompetence of the Guyana bourgeois government.

When the people of Guyana were desperate, the Comintern provided necessary assistance to Guyana. The Comintern held an expanded conference on assisting Guyana. At the conference, the resolution unanimously passed a resolution to form an international brigade to support Guyana in resisting the invasion of Venezuela.

Under the great call of the Communist International, communists all over the world actively participated in the war. An international column of 50,000 people was formed and went to Guyana to participate in the war under the leadership of the French Communist Party and the American Communist Party.

The commander-in-chief of the International Brigade this time is General Robert of the Communist Party of the United States, and the chief of general staff is Major General Reynaud of the French Communist Party. They will command the troops to fight against the coalition forces of Venezuela and Suriname that invade Guyana.

Because Guyana faces the danger of being attacked from the east and west and fighting from two fronts. Then, as proposed by the General Staff Headquarters of the International Column and approved by the Communist International Congress, the International Column adopted a combat plan of "first east, then west", first defeating the weak Suriname army in the east, and then concentrating its main forces against Venezuela in the west.

As a result, the International Column sent 10,000 people to defend the western border and prevent the Venezuelan troops from advancing, while the remaining 40,000 people rushed east to fight against the Surinamese army.

Although Suriname has dispatched 60,000 combat troops, its strength is seriously insufficient, its weapons and equipment are inferior, and its logistics capabilities are in a mess. It is far from being a match for the well-equipped international columns. Therefore, the International Column easily defeated the 60,000 Surinamese army at the cost of losing 8,000 men.

At this time, Venezuela had broken through the International Column's defense line in the west and continued to attack the hinterland of Guyana. However, the International Column did not directly confront the Venezuelan troops. Instead, it bypassed Venezuela's frontal troops and launched a direct surprise attack on Venezuela from the sea.

This unexpected combat plan shocked Venezuela. Due to the rapid progress of the international column and the approach to Caracas, Venezuela had to order the invasion troops to return to defense. At this time, the International Column suddenly attacked the Venezuelan frontline troops when they were withdrawing, causing the Venezuelan troops to collapse rapidly.

At the same time, the Guyanese regular army also launched a counterattack, causing heavy losses to the Venezuelan army.This time, the International Brigade and the Guyanese regular army cooperated to effectively combat Venezuela's invasion and ensure peace and stability in South America.
