Childhood Anime Grand Tour

A few days later, the gunboat returned to the Valley of the Wind, where it remained as beautiful and peaceful as ever. This year's harvest was excellent, and in such an environment, a good harvest is the most reassuring thing for people.

The women in the fields also spotted the gunboats in the sky.

"Princess, the princess is back! Go and tell everyone!"

"Haha, and there are also airships from allied nations! Let's clear the runway quickly!"

Upon seeing the allied airships, the people of Wind Valley immediately cheered, thinking they had won a great victory. The men, however, were more realistic; this was the first time such a situation had occurred, and it seemed something bad had happened.

"Your Highness, Your Highness the Princess..."

The foremost gunboat landed quickly, and everyone immediately crowded around it. The hatch opened, but only Mitt's head was visible. Everyone's happy expressions immediately turned somber.

“Mite…”

"Don't ask anything, I'm going to Lord Gil..."

"What do you mean, 'don't ask'?! What happened to Her Highness? Explain yourself!!"

A bad feeling immediately arose in everyone's hearts, but fortunately, Mitt realized that everyone had misunderstood and quickly tried to correct them:

"Don't worry, the princess is fine, she just stayed there!"

"Can you please stop talking... What? It was left there!!"

“Mite, as a servant, you actually abandoned His Highness and returned alone, I…”

As an elder, Mitt was not someone the younger generation could say anything to, but the old men couldn't stand it and looked like they were going to beat him up. Fortunately, these old men were not very mobile, otherwise they would have gone to the battlefield.

"Everyone, stop fighting! Stop fighting, old Potter! I... I'll explain the details to Lord Gil, please get out of the way!!"

Fortunately, these people didn't hit hard. Mitt covered his cheek and walked towards Gil's room.

"Is the clan leader alright?!"

"Grandpa Mitt, you're back! Where's the princess? The chieftain has gone blind."

The maid was very anxious. In the few days since Nausicaä left, Gil's condition had deteriorated rapidly, and he was now starting to become delirious.

Upon hearing this, Mitt rushed to the bedside, grabbed Kiel's hand, and said worriedly:

"Kiel, you can't fall down now!"

In his desperation, Mitt disregarded etiquette. As if hearing Mitt's voice, Gil's eyes, which had been blind, suddenly shone brightly, and his mind became much clearer.

"It's Mito!! Nausicaä..."

"Chieftain, I..."

"Hasn't Nausicaä returned? What a good girl..."

Mit felt a little guilty, but Gil became optimistic. Although he really wanted to see Nausicaä, he knew that his daughter had her own choices, so he tried to shake Mit's hand.

Mitt knew that now was not the time for sadness and guilt, so he immediately bowed down and said:

"Chieftain, the chieftains of the allied nations on the border have all arrived! They say they wish to see you!!"

Indeed, as Mitt said, these border clan chiefs came with ulterior motives, and they wanted to drag Wind Valley along with them. After all, everyone has their own way of surviving in the entire Wasteland.

Just then, a commotion arose outside; the clan leaders were about to enter. At this point, Gil was unable to muster any energy and could only lie on the bed...

"Kiel, you're a hero for life! How come you're lying on the bed at the end? I should have satisfied you back then!! Hahaha!!"

The fact that he could still joke around at this point shows that his relationship with Gil is quite special. He also started the conversation to avoid embarrassing others!

"Hehehe, it's Abel, isn't it?! Looks like I won't be seeing you up, but you've certainly had your fun!"

Indeed, the two were both valiant warriors on the frontier in their youth. During a war, they faced a desperate situation, and in order to avoid being humiliated, Kiel asked him to send him away.

"How's it going on the battlefield? Mitt said it's not good!"

Although Mitt didn't say it, Gil could tell from Nausicaä's absence that this battle was not so simple! Soon, Gil learned about the situation on the battlefield from everyone's brief conversations.

"The army fell into a trap set by the Earth Demon Kingdom. Thanks to your daughter, the King Insect's wrath was quelled! The southern campaign has been cancelled, allowing us to be sent back!"

Just then, the High Priestess slowly walked forward and applied ointment to Gil's hands, while Mitt seemed to realize something.

"Priest, Chieftain Gil, the Earth Demon Emperor has ordered the plundering of the border countries. The princess says... there's a King Insect and a massive tsunami!"

A massive tsunami?

"A massive tsunami!"

For a moment, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. The younger generation had heard of it, but the younger generation had no idea. Fortunately, there was an elder present, the High Priest.

All eyes turned to the high priest. Although these clan leaders called themselves a nation, their military strength was very limited, and for religious beliefs to develop, a relatively stable environment was necessary.

The Valley of the Wind has a high priest, which is why he is respected by the surrounding countries. In fact, everyone knows that priests are in charge of gods and religion, but they are actually doctors. This can be seen from the time when Yuba gave the old lady herbs.

At this moment, the high priest's face was somewhat solemn, but he still explained in an aged voice:

"The so-called Great Tsunami is the Sea of ​​Corruption sweeping across the land like a tsunami! After the Seven Days of Fire, this world experienced three Great Tsunami. The most recent one was more than three hundred years ago, before the Sea of ​​Corruption covered the land. At that time, the most powerful empire was called Evdaru. They inherited the technology of their ancestors, roamed the blue sky, and were dedicated to solving the problem of the Sea of ​​Corruption."

"High Priest, is Porcelain Town the ruins left behind by Evdaru?"

Clearly, some people still remember these things from the old world. The old woman nodded and said:

"Hmm! Judging from the records in the ancient books, they may have had the power to control the Ohmu back then, and they are the ancestors of the current Mushroom Tamers. However, in the end, what they did angered the forest and the Ohmu. The Ohmu swept across the land like a tsunami, and within twenty days, the entire Evdar Empire was covered!!"

"What? The kingdom has perished?"

They had witnessed the rampage of the King Worm a few days ago, and the spectacle was indeed terrifying. While it could destroy some small countries, according to the old lady, Aifdaru was no small country; its area was even larger than that of present-day Torumechia.

"Yes! Three hundred years ago, all the border countries were under the rule of Aifdaru! It was like the most brilliant pearl in the desert, preserving the miraculous technology of the ancients and building spaceships that do not exist now. The remains left behind are now being excavated in Porcelain Town!!"

Everyone knows about Porcelain Town; it does indeed export special clay. Little did we know that it was actually a technological spaceship left behind by the ancients.

It's not hard to tell from the old woman's words that humanity wasn't suddenly eroded by the Sea of ​​Decay, but rather gradually eroded step by step. Our early technology must have been sufficient to travel through space.

Unfortunately, even after conquering space, they were ultimately defeated by the earth! The earliest advanced technology of mankind was the Colossus, and after the Seven Days of Fire, mankind may have calmed down for a while.

Ultimately, they still wanted to conquer this Sea of ​​Decay. Perhaps at that time, they still had the ability to control the Sea of ​​Decay. Unfortunately, due to their different desires, they ultimately met with failure and destruction.

With the destruction of the old humanity, a technological gap has emerged, and the technology to conquer space is no longer available. However, the ability to conquer the skies remains, and high-tech warfare continues.

War has always been the main theme of humankind. With the insatiable nature of human hearts, humanity once again chose to challenge the sea of ​​corruption, and the result is predictable. The predecessors had no time to mourn themselves, but the successors mourned them. The successors mourned them but did not learn from them, thus causing the successors to mourn again.

Then came the formatting, which was the great tsunami. Another wave of humanity was taken away, and then humanity entered a completely new era: war, exploitation, desire—old wine in new bottles, just a change of form without substance.

After another round, it was finally Aifudaru's turn. Aifudaru's technology was also exceptionally advanced, and the existing aircraft were all legacies left by those people.

Even after so many rounds of elimination, human technology still has the upper hand against the Corrupted Sea, and those Queen Insects are still just toys in front of the Evdarus.

Don't be fooled by the fact that modern insect trainers can only lead small centipedes and slugs; the insect trainer ancestors of yesteryear truly used king insects as mounts.

And then, well, the system was updated again, right? In this version, the Terran race was finally nerfed to the bottom tier. Without the boost from equipment, humans are no match for the Overlords anymore!!

Einstein once said, "I don't know what World War III will look like, but World War IV will be a war of stones and sticks!"

That's right. It shows that World War III will still happen, and even if humanity can only use stones and sticks, World War IV will still be fought.

And this is the current situation in the Impure World. Even though humanity is struggling to survive, its greatest enemy is not the difficulty of survival, but humanity itself! For humanity, solving the Sea of ​​Decay is nowhere near as easy as solving humanity itself.

This is what the modern Dorumechia and the Land of the Earth Demons think, and this is what the Colossus thought back then.

The old woman continued speaking.

"Ultimately, the peace of Avdaru was overshadowed by the conflict over the succession to the throne, which spread throughout the country, and war broke out everywhere. The shells of the Ohmu became the best weapon material, and weapons merchants began to capture Ohmu on a large scale, resulting in the slaughter of countless Ohmu!"

At this point, the old lady couldn't help but feel a little regretful, while the others looked excited. You see, in this version, the Terran were being crushed by the Zerg, and they still longed for that era.

The weapons merchant the old woman spoke of was the earliest insect tamer, and also the ancestor of the forest people. As the old woman continued her story, everyone gradually came to understand.

The Queen Worm invaded the land like a tsunami, washing over the filthy soil like waves, spreading spores everywhere, and covering human homes like a storm.

All efforts failed one after another, towns were swallowed up one after another, 75 percent of humanity died, almost to the point of extinction, and those imaginative technologies were buried in the sands along with the old capital.
