Chapter 2608: Diverting Conflicts
Griffith always thought that he was the best. The reason why he was not satisfied in this world was because the king and the nobles were not good enough. As long as he went up, he would definitely do better than them and bring peace to the world.
So there was a series of calculations, and everyone cooperated very well. The Emperor of Terror and the Skeleton Knight turned into doors and keys perfectly. The netherworld and the human world were connected to form a brand new world - the fantasy world.
There are many more interesting creatures around humans, but there are dangers everywhere under the changes. Not only are humans not prepared for the merger, but the netherworld creatures are also not prepared. Therefore, the netherworld creatures are sensitive and irritable, and they will attack when they are slightly stimulated.
Chaos is inevitable. Whether the connection between the two worlds is good or not, Duran said that it is naturally very bad for ordinary people. The organization of the human world is originally low, and people in various places tend to protect themselves, and they can't rely on the king and the French court at all. In the past, there were only bandits, bandits, and passing mercenaries and soldiers. Only a few unlucky guys would encounter apostles and beast ghosts. But now the netherworld creatures are around. No matter how beautiful these creatures are, they are still superior to humans. Humans can only simply not stop the invasion of the netherworld creatures.
It was a good thing for Griffith. It was because humans lost the ability to protect themselves that all humans united under him and came to the only human country he built. He had a new country and a strong army. He should have been the only organized existence on this land and the only hope for the new world. All humans should gather around him.
However, he did not expect that the Princess Territory also took advantage of the opportunity. In the era of great changes, it quickly established organizational capabilities and built a city more magnificent than the Eagle Kingdom. It also used the power of the underworld to invent various convenient tools, quickly got used to the changes in the world, and constantly helped other people scattered on the earth to face the fantasy world together.
This was very embarrassing. Griffith found that his Eagle Kingdom was not the only country after all his calculations. Instead, it seemed very backward and unsophisticated. It was the Princess Territory that led the world's direction, established various standards, and even published "Two or Three Things About My Underworld Creatures", "The Fifth Kind of Contact", "I Have a Dog in the Underworld" and other educational and entertaining survival guides.
What's more valuable is that these books are illustrated, so even illiterate people can understand them.
These books were widely circulated, even in Eagle Country. So some people thought that since there was a way to coexist with the creatures of the underworld, why should they stay in Eagle Country? It would be better to go back to their hometown and continue farming.
Although Eagle Country is spacious and gorgeous, there is no place like home. It is still the most comfortable to have your own home, without having to look at other people's faces. With this idea, some people chose to leave the city and continue to return to where they lived before.
People's hearts did not gather on Griffith, and Griffith was not the only hero who could protect them. This made Griffith, a perfectionist, a little angry. His plan should be perfect, why is it like this?
Should we release beast ghosts to attack those who left the city? Let them know that these ridiculous books are useless, and only Eagle Country can save them, instead of believing in such ridiculous picture books.
But in the final analysis, it is still the Princess Territory that is playing tricks. How did they quickly gain a foothold in the fantasy world and develop so well? Griffith racked his brains but couldn't figure it out. In the end, he could only think that it was Duran's fault. He should have killed that weird man the last time they met.
What should he do now? Griffith wants to be the most perfect savior, and the most perfect means the only one, that is, he wants to be the only savior, and naturally he will not tolerate the guys in the Princess Territory stealing the fruits of his labor.
In order to become the perfect savior, Griffith has done so much. He returned to the human world from the underworld, and then he madly brushed his reputation. Finally, he calculated two enemies. Now he is just one step away. As long as humans realize that only Griffith can protect them, then the world will be united, and he will have fulfilled his ideal and become a perfect savior and command a perfect city.
But now there are flaws on perfection. Someone is trying to steal the corner. The outstanding performance of the Princess Territory makes Griffith pale in comparison. Isn't this a slap in the face? How come in the end, he is still not as good as a group of mortals?
But if you tear your face off, the image you have created will be shattered. It is very hard to hide your darkness and show your most perfect side in order to improve your reputation. In the final analysis, it is the fault of the princess's territory and the residents who are fickle. These people should be punished.
Then send them to death.
Start a war against the creatures of the underworld, let them realize the power of the creatures of the underworld, and kill the wavering ones in the war. You can also drive the creatures of the underworld to attack the princess's territory and destroy them.
Griffith has also grown up. Now he is the king. Faced with the situation, he has learned to use war flexibly to divert conflicts.
In the Eagle Kingdom, believers who believe in Griffith are working hard to build armor and cast cannons, because they know that there are all creatures of the underworld outside, and they must unite around Griffith to have enough power to fight against the creatures of the underworld. So everyone works hard to produce and build more weapons and equipment. Because it is a city in the underworld, there are endless raw materials. As long as you are willing to build, you can keep working.
With these weapons and equipment, Griffith waved his hand and said, "Gather the army and prepare for war."
The 30,000-man army gathered together, among which there were many wavering factions, all of whom were cannon fodder sent to the battlefield.
The script had been written, and these 30,000 people would be wiped out. First, to eliminate the wavering factions, second, to show the horror of the creatures in the underworld, and third, to continue to brush up Griffith's reputation, just like when he fought against the Emperor of Terror, he showed the strength of the perfect savior, so that the people would realize that they could not do without Griffith, they were just a group of rabble, and could only barely survive by clinging to Griffith's thigh.
"Use war to divert contradictions and cover up problems. Griffith's level is indeed the limit of feudal society." Duran knew that Griffith's limit had appeared, and the people would get tired of repeating this routine of killing monsters and brushing reputation. Especially after comparing with the beautiful life in the princess's territory, they would soon find that Griffith would continue to lead them to war and destruction.
Because Griffith could not fundamentally solve the hierarchy problem in feudal society, he had to keep brushing up his reputation if he wanted to maintain his image as a perfect savior. Because his way of rallying people is to build reputation, not to lead everyone to create a better life. The current situation is that what Griffith gives to everyone belongs to everyone. If Griffith doesn't give, everyone can't fight for it.
Griffith wants to be the one who has the final say, and wants everyone to be grateful to him. He is unwilling to accept that everyone is equal. At the same time, as a perfectionist, he does not allow anyone to question him.
Originally, the Eagle Country was indeed the only safe place in the world, and it would also be the only country for humans. Unfortunately, Griffith made all the calculations, but he was still tricked by Duran. The flaw in perfection was a slap in Griffith's face.
