Chapter 922: Arrogant
Ten years later, it was another leap forward. Countless castles were built and countless villages were destroyed.
Duran watched as the Beiyin people gradually gained more courage. Take the Northern War for example. Although Duran thought there were not many people, they had been confronting each other for half a year, experienced more than 30 battles of varying sizes, and suffered many casualties. This showed that they were no longer the fairy bean civilization that would only accept the protection of God.
Although the war was cruel, it was also a shocking voice.
"I think it's almost done."
"What do you mean it's almost done?" Denise was stunned. She was eating. What was her husband thinking about?
"I mean we should go out and find a time traveler to be Saber's successor."
"You're not going to let her continue to rule Beiyin? Isn't she ruling very well?"
"Yes, she is very good. If she wants, she can even rule them for life, but Saber is more like a nanny now. She has fallen into her old habit and started to be soft-hearted to her competitors. Those ill-intentioned expedition knights have accumulated enough strength. I'm afraid they will soon take action against Beiyin Highlands. Then she will have to witness another civil war."
Denisa felt that Duran was wrong: "Even if it is a civil war, what does it matter? Saber's strength is now enough to fight the rebels alone. She doesn't have to worry about anyone splitting up."
"I'm afraid she can't accept it psychologically. The civil war she has always wanted to avoid will repeat itself. What if she gets depression?"
"How could it be." Denisa didn't believe Saber would get depression: "I think you are bored again, so you want to go somewhere else to play?"
Denisa smiled and gave Denisa a look that said you understand me. Although we are going to find the king's successor, we can also have some fun by the way: "How about this, we will wait for the civil war to happen, Saber will definitely decide to abdicate, and then we will find her successor."
The civil war will break out because the ambitions of the expedition knights have been growing, especially after the Northern War, the Beiyin people witnessed the power of their army, and they believed that the power was enough to smash the king's castle.
Two years have passed since the Northern War, the army has recovered, and several villages that are dissatisfied with not having pricing power have secretly discussed and prepared to form an alliance to overthrow Saber's rule.
In fact, Saber's pricing is very fair. It uses food as a general equivalent, and other items are priced based on food, without bias.
But over the past ten years, as the production capacity of various places has changed, the value of various commodities has also changed. The prices ten years ago caused great dissatisfaction.
Saber obviously did not notice this problem in time. In fact, even if she noticed it, she would probably not give up the pricing power, because she was worried that the Iron Ridge incident would happen again, and someone would abuse power to set prices arbitrarily and disrupt the entire country.
There is something more important that she did not realize, that is, the expedition knights no longer take the king seriously. Before the Northern War, no one came to ask for the king's opinion or seek the king's help to let the king do justice. This is a more serious matter.
The king's majesty has disappeared.
It can only be said that Saber has downplayed the class, so that the descendants of immigrants do not realize what kind of existence the king is. She was overwhelmed by the sense of achievement of protecting the Beiyin people and forgot that the king's throne is above everyone's head. So that the immigrants regarded the king as a nanny living in the castle, without a trace of fear in their hearts.
Take all the power in the hands of the king and drive away the king who has no sense of existence.
In just 30 years, the Beiyin people are ready to challenge the king.
The invitation to war spread everywhere, and the alliance that initiated the challenge had no intention of hiding it. They issued a letter requesting other villages to denounce the king even if they did not join their alliance. She did nothing but collected taxes every year and held the right to set prices to interfere with the rule of their immigrant villages.
It can be said that it was a complete false accusation. Saber never thought that she would end up in a civil war after ruling the country with all her heart for thirty years.
"They were blinded by their own military power and forgot the care of the king and the gods." With the civil war imminent, Duran came to see if Saber would collapse: "So ideological education and patriotic education are indispensable. Didn't you tell the Beiyin people that they should protect Beiyin and love the king?"
"..." Saber asked herself that she had done nothing wrong. Since the birth of the Beiyin people, she has been ruling them and helped them through several crises. She didn't know what they were dissatisfied with: "Did I do anything wrong?"
"I underestimated the arrogance of the Beiyin people. Those who are ignorant are fearless. We have never shown our strength, so they feel weak and can be bullied." "You may have only done one thing wrong. You forgot that they are primitive people."
Yes, they are primitive people. In the past thirty years, except for the advent and the Mother's Cry Day, they have not experienced any disasters, no earthquakes, floods, and landslides. The Beiyin Kingdom is the most suitable place to live.
And their civilization was born by Saber and her daughters, so the Beiyin people do not have a deep understanding of nature. Although the Northern War was brutal, it also made the Beiyin people realize that their army was so destructive, making them naively believe that as long as they had enough troops, they could overthrow the king and fight against nature.
Naive ideas, ignorant arrogance, everything made the Beiyin people start to repay kindness with enmity.
The best way now is to punish them with divine punishment, so that they know their ignorance, just like other gods do. Of course, Duran thinks that it is genocide and unnecessary. If they want to fight, then fight: "Gather the army, send letters for help to the villages that are still loyal, give them a heavy blow, and let them know that you are their king."
It's another civil war, Saber is dumbfounded, she doubts that she really has no ability to be a king, she wants to retreat.
"Only through bloody lessons can they learn what humility is." Duran advocates war, thinking that only war can solve this problem: "Of course, I also know that you don't like civil war, so after you finish this war, I will find someone to replace you to continue to rule the country."
It's a difficult choice, but Saber finally made the right choice. She should teach the Beiyin people a last lesson and go to war! Through war, let the Beiyin people know that they should be afraid of power. Of course, after the civil war, she didn't want to continue to be the king.
A king who has a civil war during his reign is not a good king. Saber looked at Duran and said, "I hope you can find a good successor for me."
"Of course, I will go to other worlds to find a humble, gentle and courageous person to take your place." Duran thought that he could go out and play again, but when he saw Saber's distrustful look, he immediately added, "If you don't trust me, you can choose someone yourself. I don't mind."
