The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The northern kingdom of Daliat is located in the north of the Minsk Mountains. This huge T-shaped mountain range divides the Minsk continent into three parts. It also has three different climate characteristics. The Savile Kingdom is hot and dry, and Ma Warm and humid in the Kingdom of Reiss and cold in Daliat.

Compared with the two kingdoms in the south, the establishment of the northern kingdom of Daliad is not very long, less than 500 years in total, and there are two split periods of nearly 100 years in between.

Before the founding of the country, Daliyat had always been the place where criminals from the two southern kingdoms were exiled. Almost all the criminals who could neither be killed nor imprisoned in the southern kingdom would be exiled to Daliad. The nobles, the army that failed the coup d'état, and a large number of ordinary civilians suffering from infectious diseases such as the plague, etc., as long as they could not stay in the southern kingdom, they were all sent to Dailiat to fend for themselves.

For a long time, to the people of the Minsk mainland, Daliyat was a hellish existence. Going there to starve to death or freeze to death would be better than dying happily in the south.

At that time, neither the Marris Kingdom nor the Savile Kingdom believed that anyone could survive in such a harsh environment.

However, in the end they found that their prediction was wrong. Those people not only survived, but also merged with the native Renault people of the northern ice sheet to form the current Daliat people, and finally established a a country.

The history of the founding of the country is a history of foreign wars. From the day of the founding of the country, it has waged a long war with the two southern kingdoms that lasted for a hundred years.

Neither of the two southern kingdoms wanted another kingdom to appear in the north, and this kingdom was naturally hostile to the two southern kingdoms. Therefore, at the beginning of the founding of Deliyat, the two southern kingdoms gathered a large number of troops and secretly united , to attack Daliat together.

Facing the joint siege of the two kingdoms, Daliat couldn't resist at all, so he could only retreat further north. Fortunately, with the help of the Reynolds, the Daliats survived in the north.

Afterwards, there was a long stalemate. The Daliates were unable to compete with the armies of the two kingdoms on the frontal battlefield. They could only hide in the virgin forest in the north and attack the southern army from time to time. The army can't solve the Daliats in a short time, nor can it retreat to give up the war.

It wasn't until winter, when the cold wind from the endless northern ice field came down, that the situation on the battlefield changed. Countless southern soldiers couldn't stand the cold in the north, and either died of illness or freezing to death. Nearly half of their staff was reduced. It felt that the situation was not good. The southern army only began to retreat at this time, but the Daliates were naturally unwilling to let the southern army go just like this. They tried their best to intercept them along the way, using the weather as a weapon to help them kill and injure the enemy.

In the end, the first kingdom offensive and defensive battle ended in a loss for both sides. All the cities including the capital of the newly founded Daliat were destroyed, and the population was reduced by half. The combined army of the two southern kingdoms did not have a good time either. In the end, less than one tenth of them returned home alive, which can be said to be seriously injured.

However, the war did not end because of this, and Daliyat, who had suffered a huge population loss, did not wait for the population to recover, but adopted the approach of the Renault people, going south to the two kingdoms to plunder the population.

Naturally, the two southern kingdoms would not allow such a thing to happen, but just now the army suffered heavy losses and the domestic situation was unstable. They simply couldn't deploy enough manpower to place Dailiat's army to plunder the population. The army defends.

For a time, various small-scale war conflicts began to appear frequently on the borders of several countries, and a small war would occur almost every ten days. This situation lasted for nearly a hundred years.

In the end, after the kings of the three countries signed an armistice agreement, the Hundred Years' War finally came to an end, and the two southern kingdoms officially recognized Daliat's kingdom status.

Although the status of the kingdom has been recognized, the domestic situation in Daliat has not been stabilized because of this. A large number of population plunders have disrupted Daliat's originally stable ethnic structure in disguise, especially the northern native Reynolds. trapped in a racial crisis.

In addition, King Dalia was assassinated and died suddenly in the eleventh year after the signing of the peace armistice agreement. Although it was rumored that the king was assassinated by assassins from the two southern kingdoms, the Dalia people believed that it was the king of the country. The nobles assassinated King Dalia, because the king was trying to calm down the bad daytime situation in the country through intermarriage, land distribution, and public election of officials. Great damage was done to the interests of the nobility.

Moreover, although his intermarriage policy is to continue the racial blood of the Renault people, it is a good thing, but the approach is too tough, requiring the Renault people to intermarry with foreigners in the form of regulations, which makes the Renault people extremely disgusted, and even think that this is an offense to them.

As a result, rumors about the assassination of King Daliat sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and the strange thing is that after these rumors were spread, almost all the protagonists of the rumors did not come forward to admit that they did it, nor did they Denying this matter is not what they said, and they are all silent.

Because King Dalia died suddenly and had no heirs, the heir was transferred to his three brothers, and these three brothers all held heavy troops and real power, and there was a force behind them to support them, so Daliat was caught in the eleven-year-long struggle of the Three Kings.

In the past eleven years, not only did Daliyat's overall national power not weaken, but it actually became much stronger.

In order to improve food, they turned to gods, wizards, druids, and even witches. In order to strengthen the power of weapons, they worked hard to improve metal refining methods, weapon forging formulas, and types of weapons. All soldiers, even ordinary women can afford weapons and know how to fight.

All in all, if the overall strength of the three princely realms is added together, the overall national strength of Deliyat at that time was much higher than that of the two southern kingdoms.

It's just that, because of the yearly wars, the population of Daliyat has decreased rapidly. Although the two southern kingdoms are at war at this time, both sides will sell their prisoners of war as slaves to Daliyat, but even in this situation With the rapidly decreasing population, this slave supply is still a drop in the bucket.

At this time, the three princes had also entered old age, without the ambitions of the past, and felt that if the fight continued like this, the kingdom might be destroyed because of them, so they unanimously chose a truce and started peace talks. A year later, the peace talks were completed, and the kingdom was reunified, entering the era of three kings co-ruling.

The people of Daliat regard this era as the golden age of the kingdom. In that era, politics was enlightened and all kinds of industries flourished. As long as everyone was strong and able to work, he could live comfortably. A large number of poems and dramas were also produced in that era. It was produced at that time, and from these poems and dramas, future generations can also understand how good that era was.

However, the good days will not last forever. After the first generation of princes died of illness one after another, and the second generation of princes took the throne, the great plague that broke out in the whole world of Velen also swept across the Minsk continent, and Deliyat was not spared either. A large number of people died from the plague, even the well-protected prince's family was infected with the plague one after another, and died in the plague one after another, until the plague ended, the last descendant of the prince died in his palace. Finish.

The seat of the king was vacant again, and every great nobleman in Daliyat hoped that he could sit in that position, but no one could get the approval of others. Instigated by the nobles, even though the political situation in Daliad was extremely tense during this period, and various nobles fought openly and secretly, the situation among the people was still stable, and life did not have any impact.

This kingless situation did not end until three years later when a girl appeared who claimed to be a descendant of Prince Blizzard and had the qualifications to take the throne.

At first, the nobles didn't believe what the girl said, but after passing various blood tests, they found that the girl was indeed of royal blood, and the nobles began to pay attention to the girl.

At that time, the people were already tired of the endless battles of the nobles, and some small nobles didn't want to live that kind of fearful life anymore, so they worked together to force the big nobles of Daliyat to pledge allegiance to this girl and make this girl Become King of Daliat.

In the end, under the influence of external forces, the various great nobles felt that they were continuing to fight like this, and those people might rush into their castles and tear them apart, so they had to compromise and recognized the girl as King Dailiat, So far, Dalia has entered the age of queens, until today.

What’s interesting is that the first queen of Dalyat was not enthroned in the capital city of Dalyat, but in the southern border city of Kowo. Therefore, Kowo, a small border town on the edge of the Minsk Mountains, became the king. A famous city was built. The buildings where the queen ascended the throne and the buildings where the queen lived were all preserved and transformed into tourist attractions.

In addition, Kewo's Hundred Flowers Wine became the famous wine of Daliyat because of the first generation of queens. He prefers to drink strong wine, but the two southern kingdoms are very fond of this kind of wine. Every year, a large number of wine merchants come to Kewo to buy local Baihua wine at a high price.

Although there are still a few months before Baihuajiu is out of the cellar, many merchants from the Kingdom of Maris and Saville have gathered in Kewo. Since they came to buy Baihuajiu, they also came to avoid The flames of war in the South came.

However, what is different from usual is that what these people gather to talk about is no longer the war in the south, or the price of Hundred Flowers Wine this time, and other things that are closely related to their interests. The things in the city are those monsters that suddenly appear and those who catch them.

In Daliyat, there are quite a few people with strange appearances. As long as you stay in Daliat for a long time, you can always see some people with deformed appearances.

For ordinary people, those deformed people should be some people whose bodies have mutated due to certain diseases, and they couldn't live in their own hometown, so they came to Deliyat.

Daliat did not refuse these people to join, and also set up a special department for these people, and provided them with various jobs to ensure their life and survival.

At the beginning, the people in Daliat were also full of discrimination against these deformed people, and they didn't want to live with these people. However, with the passage of time and various policy arrangements, the people in Daliat gradually accepted these deformities.

However, after the man-eating monsters that suddenly appeared in the city a short time ago, many people in the city said that the monsters that were captured were all local deformed people.

At the beginning, people didn't believe such rumors, because there would always be some normal people who hated deformed people making all kinds of rumors, such as deformed people would be contagious, and deformed people would eat people, so they heard After such rumors, none of the locals believed it.

But as the freaks mentioned in the rumors did not appear, everyone became suspicious, because the number of those freaks exactly corresponded to the number of those cannibals, and the place where the cannibals appeared was also the same place. Some of the places that several deformed people often go to, for a while, they did not believe the rumors and became skeptical, but now the vast majority of people in the city believe that those cannibal monsters were transformed from deformed people, so the ordinary people in the city People are gathering at the city hall, demanding that the city government drive the freaks out of the city.

For those foreign businessmen, this is just a chat after dinner, but for the locals, this matter is a major event related to the safety of their families. Because of this incident.

Just now, someone ran into the tavern and called on the Daliats in the tavern to gather together and go to the community where the freaks lived to make trouble and drive the freaks out of the city.

It's just that the city government didn't seem to intend to comply with public opinion for these demands. Those who gathered to attack the community where the deformed people lived were dispersed by the military police before they reached the community where the deformed people lived.

Regarding this matter, many people think that the city government has done something wrong, and many people curse the people in the city government and attack them with some extremely vicious words, but some of these foreign businessmen are very clear about the nature of these freaks. What, also think the city government is doing it right. Because if those people really rushed into the deformed people's community to wreak havoc, or even hurt the family members of the deformed people, then these people would definitely die terribly, and the rest of the city might not feel better either.

Also because the situation in the city has become a little delicate now, these outsiders feel that they should change places first, and come back here when things subside.
