Chapter 55: Turning Point (Please Collect and Recommend)

Resistance has always been an extremely rare quality. Throughout human history, there are not many nations that possess this quality, at least in the West, it is very rare. →In the entire Western history, it seems that except for Spartacus in ancient Rome, there are no stories of civilian uprisings against tyranny.

In this regard, Chinese history is different. If you open Chinese history, you will find that our history is a history of working people resisting tyranny, and the change of dynasties is often due to peasant uprisings. I remember seeing this sentence somewhere.

It is said that Western history is written by the Western elite, while Chinese history is written by thousands of working people who are willing to be kind. This can also be reflected in the myths and legends of both sides. The simplest comparison is that many heroes in ancient Chinese mythology were born in the grass, and even gods were cultivated by mortals. But what about heroes in Western mythology? Most of them have a close connection with gods, and some are even directly descendants of gods and mortals. Demigods. (There are many examples in this regard, so I won’t explain them one by one, so as not to be too much)

In short, although they were happy that someone came to save them, after calming down, the villagers were more worried and afraid. Because Kanan was not dead, his gang still had more than 40 people. This was still a huge threat to the village.

Some people were not even happy about the arrival of Arthur and his group.

For example, Merlin’s friend Will was very angry about the arrival of Arthur and his group. His reason was simple, there would be no death if there was no resistance. Now that they had killed Kanan and his group, Arthur and his group could easily pat their butts and leave, but the villagers still had to stay and face the group of robbers! Originally, the robbers were just robbing, but now... the nature has changed. →

The villagers were also so worried.

This made Morgana very difficult to understand. There were hundreds of people in this village, of which only about 50 were men, and they were all strong laborers. (Under such a productivity level, no matter how good the physical fitness of the ancient Celts was, the average life expectancy was not high, so there were few elderly people and not many children, because too many could not be supported)

Why did so many men not resist? Even if only 20 or 30 people fought hard, the robbers would be cautious. After all, robbery is a business without cost, and the robbers will subconsciously avoid any behavior that increases costs. This has nothing to do with whether the robbers are smart or not. If the people in the village resisted, these robbers would not be so vicious as to even take away the grain seeds.

Will's speech shocked Morgana even more. There are still people who think this way.

But Will's remarks are indeed very popular in the village, so the atmosphere in the village began to become weird. While they were grateful to Arthur and his friends, they also secretly blamed them.

Arthur was very angry about this weird thinking, but for Merlin's sake, he didn't say much, but patiently told the villagers that they could stay until the robbers were eliminated!

Such a guarantee made the villagers feel relieved.

However, considering that there were too many bandits, Arthur proposed that the men in the village be trained to resist the bandits together. Under the leadership of someone, the villagers reluctantly agreed to this request.

But Will was still talking nonsense. He thought that Arthur just wanted the villagers to play the soldier game with him. If Arthur was really willing to help them, he could take a large group of soldiers to wipe out the bandits instead of letting them fight with the bandits.

Will was even dissatisfied with his friend. He thought Merlin had the ability to kill all the bandits alone, so why didn't he take action? Why did he let the villagers resist? He could obviously finish the job, so why did he back off?

Merlin couldn't refute this. But he insisted that Arthur didn't want to play any soldier games, he really wanted to help Eldor. Otherwise, he wouldn't come here.

Neither side could convince the other.

The situation in the village was not good either. The men were honest farmers who had only held sickles in their lives and never swords. They also lacked the spirit of resistance and were afraid of the battles they were about to face.

Arthur was helpless and powerless. He didn't know what to do. He now understood his father a little. When you bear a huge responsibility, the pressure alone can make you unable to sleep or eat. He only needs to carry a village now, but what about his father? He needs to carry an entire kingdom!

Just when Arthur was at a loss, someone stood up. They were two women.

Morgana and Gwen!

If you want to say who has the most rebellious spirit in Camelot, it must be Morgana! She couldn't accept the negative mentality of the villagers, so she began to lobby those women. It must be said that Morgana had a strong appeal. The women were inspired by her and began to do what they could under Morgana's command. They helped to polish weapons, make arrows, cook, and help the men clean up. In short, she did everything she should and shouldn't do!

It was to inspire those men.

Gwen was Morgana's best assistant. She was born a commoner and had a natural affinity with the villagers of Eldor. At the same time, her optimism and strength also set an example for the women. After all, although Morgana was very good, she still had a strong sense of distance from those women. How could a princess and a peasant woman be the same? But Gwen didn't have this concern.

Spirit has always been an extremely important attribute. Spiritual changes can make people change drastically in a short period of time. At least, men, inspired by women, began to have the enthusiasm and courage to defend their homes.

At this time, Arthur, under the guidance of Gwen, also cheered up and stood up to give a heart-stirring speech, which made the people in the village burst out with infinite courage! As a prince who has received a strict education, it is not difficult to inspire morale.

At the same time, Arthur began to have a good impression of Gwen, a strong and kind girl...

At this point, Will was the only one in the village who still couldn't stand Arthur, and everyone else was willing to accept Arthur's leadership. (Part of this part of the plot in the series is obviously promoting women's rights. I think it's a bit far-fetched, so I deleted it directly. There are too many political correctness in this drama. I didn't feel it when I watched it before, but now I watch it again, and it hurts my brain)

After a period of simple training, the day of the arrival of the robbers has arrived. With the help of Knight Perrinor, Arthur has formulated a fairly complete battle plan to meet the robbers' attack.

…

When things got to this point, the fate of those bandits was almost foreseeable. These bandits were actually not a big deal. Under the leadership of Arthur and Perrinor, the villagers used traps and their understanding of the terrain to catch the bandits off guard. Then, with four excellent genuine knights as the spearheads and a group of villagers involved and assisted on the side, it was really not difficult to deal with a group of unorganized and undisciplined bandits.

The main thing was to let the villagers overcome their fear of bandits. Once the villagers killed the bandits and saw the blood, everything would be a matter of course. The vast ocean of people's war is no joke.

Originally, things had basically ended happily here. The bandits died, the villagers were rescued, and Arthur and his group satisfied their sense of justice.

But the problem was at the end.

King Odin of Sendrid, who had originally refused to send troops, suddenly sent his son Arieled to Eldor to prepare to suppress the bandits. In this way, they met Arthur and his group who had just defeated the bandits.

Everything changed from here.
