Yesterday's third update: Chapter 1194! 1/6!
"You grew up among the wolf clans?" Xu Kun's eyes widened. Everyone around him, aside from Huang Rong, also revealed shocked expressions!
Under everyone's gaze, Guo Jing felt extremely embarrassed. He awkwardly scratched his head and said, "The last time Great Wall Base City fell was eighteen years ago. My father died on the battlefield, and my mother, who was pregnant with me at the time, got separated from the human army. She lost her way and wandered into the wolf clans' heartland!"
"She nearly... died at the hands of the Jurchen soldiers!"
Everyone fell silent at those words.
Great Wall Base City could be said to be the earliest of China's six major base cities, specifically established to guard against the Northern Wolf Clan!
It had a history of seventy years by now!
Yet over those seventy years, this base city—a frontline military stronghold—had been breached several times. The wolf clans' iron hooves had crossed its defenses and carried out wholesale massacres of humans in the interior!
"Jurchen soldiers..." Xu Kun looked thoughtful. "Are they the Jurchen Tribe? The ones that rose to power after the wolf clans trampled the Khitans, became humanity's great enemy, and were later beaten back by the rising Mongol Tribe, leaving them much quieter these days?"
Guo Jing nodded repeatedly. "Over a hundred years ago, the Khitan leader Yelü Xian died in battle, and his million-strong army was wiped out overnight. The tribe fell into turmoil. The Jurchen, who had been suppressed by the Khitans and reduced to their vassals, seized the opportunity to rise up, replacing the Khitans as humanity's greatest enemy on the northern frontier. But the Jurchen Tribe was even more tyrannical than the Khitans. They expanded outward while suppressing and annexing others internally.
