Chapter 1761 Entertainment War
The adventurers of Duran's organization were easily defeated by the Undead King's subordinates, but his behavior had completely angered the Undead King.
The Great Tomb is the foundation of the Undead King, and he will never allow anyone to interfere. Anyone who dares to attack the Great Tomb will be an enemy who must be killed.
Duran left the Great Tomb under the unfriendly eyes of the Undead King and his subordinates.
However, Duran's method made the Undead King reconsider his strategy. He knew that he had been too conservative all the time, and sometimes he should be bolder.
Under Duran's stimulation, a bold plan took shape. He wanted to perform a good show, let the undead army attack the human city, and then let the guardian play the savior to brush up his reputation.
The bold plan of the Undead King can be said to kill many birds with one stone. First of all, of course, it is reputation, and at the same time it can also show strength. If possible, he wants to take this opportunity to establish a country. First, enclose this piece of land, and don't let other humans get close at will.
After establishing a country, he will have a group of human subordinates, and he can build a city on the Great Tomb as a cover, and then people will no longer have the idea of attacking the Great Tomb.
If this plan to establish a country is successful, then it is definitely a good plan with no harm.
The Undead King has been forced into a corner by Duran, and now he has to take a risky move. Now conservative means are just passively beaten, and only active attack is possible.
When the guardians heard the Undead King's plan, they said it was very good, and their king should be the embodiment of wisdom and the representative of evil.
This plan of starting a war and ending it by oneself is simply too good, not only evil but also profitable enough.
This is a huge plan, so it requires a lot of preparation.
First, you have to choose a target, and then you have to choose a person with a good image and good acting skills to pretend to be a hero.
In fact, during this period of time, the Undead King has already known that there are three major human powers in the three directions of the Great Tomb, the Kingdom, the Empire and the Church.
The Kingdom and the Empire have been fighting, and the two sides are evenly matched. But now the Empire has changed its emperor, and I don’t know if the situation will change.
As for the religious state in the south, it is a completely religious country. It was them who summoned the angels last time. Maybe they have special props.
There is another country, which is very small and sandwiched between the kingdom and the empire. It is the dwarf country. This country is very small and is also between the human powers, so it basically has no sense of existence. The reason why it has not been destroyed is just because the land is too barren.
Dwarves are all good blacksmiths, which is also a very classic setting.
After knowing this, the Undead King is ready to choose a city between the kingdom and the empire to attack.
The farmers in this world actually have no sense of belonging to the country, because for them, the country means paying taxes and corvée. Only urban residents have a strong sense of belonging to the country, and they are also keen on fighting. Because for urban residents, participating in war is a good way to improve their status, especially for poor people.
Farmers don’t have this idea. They just need to rely on the weather for food. Anyway, they won’t starve to death if they have land.
So whether it is the kingdom or the empire, as long as they can make farmers pay less taxes and grow more land, they don’t mind changing the rule of a country and changing the aristocratic system.
Therefore, it was the most difficult to mobilize the enthusiasm of farmers in ancient times. Generally speaking, religion was used to control them and inspire them to attack pagans.
Or it was to publicize the evil of the enemy, saying that the enemy came to rob money, land and women, and inspire everyone to protect their homes.
But even so, in the long river of history, for a long time, being able to serve in the army and fight in wars was still a privilege only for urban residents. And farmers can only be regarded as a slightly higher level than slaves.
However, the status of farmers is very different in the East and the West.
The main reason is because of rivers.
The longest river on earth, the Nile River, is in Africa, the second longest Amazon River is in South America, the third longest Yangtze River is in China, the fourth longest Mississippi River is in the United States, the fifth longest Yenisei River is in Siberia, the sixth longest Yellow River is in China, and the Ob River is in Siberia. The other three rivers in the first ten miles are also in South America, Africa and Siberia.
America and Siberia, these two places did not have continuous large-scale population gatherings in ancient times. In Africa, there was an Egypt, but it later declined.
There are two rivers in China in the first ten miles, and the Yellow River is constantly flooded. Therefore, many scientists say that a strong central dynasty is needed to fight against floods.
The fact that there are so many floods indicates that the instability of farmers' income has increased, and it has also led to farmers' greater reliance on the central government. This is why the main force of the uprising army is always farmers every time there is turmoil. This has made peasant uprisings a phenomenon that has been repeated in Chinese history.
The Western citizen system is dominated by urban residents, and later capitalism is also dominated by urban residents. In the West, urban residents were the first to awaken, and farmers were forced to accept industrialization.
It is different in the East. Farmers have their own power and their own demands. Although they are usually scattered, once they are needed, they will burst out with energy that makes people look sideways. These are all memories engraved in genes that have been accumulated from ancient times to the present under the leadership of the central dynasty to fight against floods.
So as long as there is an excellent leader or a correct program, they are always ready to fight against the powerful nature.
So Westerners look very elegant and gentlemanly, but no one cares about the grassroots people at all, because these people have never been the protagonists.
In the East, everything is just earthy, but these earthy people have been the masters of this land for generations, and they are irreplaceable protagonists in every era.
Because of the influence of mysterious power, the land that Duran dug out originally has become different, so the two rivers have lost their influence, and the extraterrestrial civilization has lost the power of unification and separated into multiple countries. Although humans almost unified, they finally split because there was no external power for unification.
Because there is no need to gather all the forces, unification seems redundant and does not meet the interests of some people. Unlike facing floods, it requires unity and all the forces that can be concentrated to face it. Unification is the best choice.
For a unified big country, the rise and fall of a country is nothing more than one reason. The rise is because this huge force has been reasonably released after the flood control, and the fall is that someone abused this force without regard for the consequences, and finally can only be backfired by the force.
The former became a wise ruler, and the latter became a tyrant.
Therefore, even when the kingdom and the empire fought wars every year, there were no peasant uprisings, because the dead were all city citizens who had nothing better to do. They fought for glory and status, not for survival. The most suffering were the peasants on the border, while the city dwellers enjoyed it completely.
War was also a special form of entertainment.
