There is no winner in war. Unlike those legendary epics, what it leaves behind will only be hatred and ruins, as well as the chain of hatred that lingers until the end of the world.
Most normal people don't like war, but why are there still wars? Probably because of interests, as long as there is still no more effective resolution and adjustment mechanism for contradictions and conflicts, coupled with the manipulation and push by careerists behind the scenes.
, this war will never end.
In this war that swept the entire Northland, the orcs were fighting for their homeland, while the elves were looking forward to returning to their past glory. From their perspective, they had done nothing wrong.
Judging from the past history, as the initiators of wars, they were all losers in previous wars. This war is no different from previous wars. They are all fighting for the living space of their own race.
But there are some things that cannot be divided into right and wrong. Regardless of the reason why they started the war, this land of ice and snow has been soaked with blood. Countless dead souls cursed the gods and invaders before they died. Various races have just thawed.
The relationship returned to a freezing point during this war.
"Someone has to pay the price!"
Post-war liquidation seems to have become an inevitable practice. Failed warmongers will be dragged to the trial bench to accept an absolutely unfair trial. At this time, the most impartial judge will be selectively blind, under the cries and roars of the victims.
Give this death row prisoner dozens of additional death sentences.
Okay, I know it's pointless, but sometimes, it's really relieving.
This is not only a memorial to let the innocent dead rest in peace, but also a channel for the survivors to vent their resentment. The sinners must be judged. This is also the fastest way for the survivors to eliminate their hatred and return to a peaceful life.
But this time, when the war ended and the customary liquidation time came, we encountered some minor troubles.
In terms of heavy losses, I am afraid that even the worst Sluwell could not compare with the country that initiated the war. In the bloody battles again and again, the plateau orcs lost their bones and blood accumulated for more than a hundred years. After the war, there was a long period of
The depression was foreseeable, and due to the tradition of the orc chiefs leading the charge, most of the famous high-level bosses died in this war.
"Kill those orc bastards, we want revenge! Why are children and women innocent? Aren't those orcs killing for them? They can kill our children and women, why can't we kill theirs!"
When the luck of survival dissipated, and looking at the devastated world, the survivors clamored to counterattack the plains, kill all the orcs, and completely exterminate the orc race.
Public grievances are very troublesome, especially the grievances that have been hurt by war, and some things are very difficult to reason with. You said "Don't actively provoke a new war", and then discussed the consequences of causing a new war now. You can talk eloquently for a day.
, they only need to say "Can't we take revenge? Why can we only let them kill our people.", and your efforts will be wasted.
"... Even if there is no 'no war' principle, our country cannot bear a new war now, and the plains orcs will not watch humans carry out vengeful massacres and divert disaster to the east."
If the plateau orcs let themselves go like this, it will be a disaster for future generations. I do have a plan to deal with it, but now is obviously not the time to start a new dispute.
"Then let's find some criminals. It just so happens that there is a group of dead people here who are still committing crimes. Let's use them to scare the monkeys."
Perhaps it should be "fortunate" that on that difficult night, the orcs did not die. Even the orcs, not everyone is a warrior who is not afraid of life and death. There are many chiefs who did not lead their tribesmen into the minced meat.
The city of death looked like a machine, but chose to escape under the cover of night.
And when their journey back became extremely difficult, in order to survive, they would naturally turn into the most dangerous bandits. Therefore, when the situation stabilized a little, I sent all the Aurora Knights to hunt them down.
Therefore, even though their number was not large, under the propaganda and momentum, they turned into the most dangerous enemies, such as Camel Baba and forty jackal thieves, three tiger women and one hundred and five male orcs.
And so on, they have already been put on wanted lists, but soon, the prison vans in which they were escorted will enter the streets of various cities, enjoy the curses and stones of the survivors, and finally, be tried according to their crimes.
Most likely he will still be hanged on the gallows.
History has proven that once the invaders fail, they will probably become the most miserable ethnic group in the war. Their territory will be occupied, and revenge and liquidation will inevitably follow. No one will sympathize with their losses in the war, because they deserve it.
They are both victims of war and perpetrators of war.
In addition to such tangible and intangible things, out of consideration for the future, the winner will not give the loser a chance to rise again. All kinds of harsh treaties will inevitably come in droves, and the originally arrogant aggressor will survive as the loser.
In this world, no matter how harsh the conditions are, we must agree to them.
However, these harsh conditions and humiliating covenants often intensify conflicts in the future and eventually lead to a new round of war.
Therefore, I was extremely careful about how to deal with the orcs after the war. Even though I had a plan in advance, I still invited my staff to discuss it over and over again.
At my signal, the staff spoke one by one, but they were all nonsense, restricting trade, cutting off grain routes, forcing the orcs to hand over hostages and war reparations, etc. I fell asleep after listening to them.
"Ahem, restricting trade? Even if you want to trade, there are still caravans traveling between the two sides. It would be weird if you don't kill them as spies. Cut off the food route? Let's first redraw the map of Omdiroken that has become meaningless.
Force the orcs to hand over hostages and pay compensation? At least you want to do your homework. There are so many orc tribes and you ask that one to hand over hostages and pay compensation? If you force them hard, it will be another catastrophe."
But when the staff member named Pierre Robles spoke, I woke up immediately and was frightened.
"The ancient chieftaincy system must be abolished. Only a republic can save the world! In order to completely eliminate differences and wars, we need a vigorous revolution to eradicate the ancient and ignorant dictatorship system..."
The previous uncreative speech made me want to sleep. This person’s speech is very creative, but abolishing the feudal royal power system that is the foundation of this world? This person also dares to think that now more than 70% of the countries in the mainland are monarchies.
If you are so extreme, you won't be afraid of being burned at the stake.
"...cut off the heads of those selfish chiefs and leaders, establish a new social system, and let the stupid orcs also establish their own efficient new republic, so..."
I couldn't help but look at this rather quiet young man again and again. He was foaming at the mouth when he was excited, his fists were clenched, his eyebrows were tightened, and there seemed to be endless anger in his body. He was very similar to the legendary innovator.
But in the feudal era, I made such an epoch-making and unrealistic statement, which made me wonder if I had met a time-traveler.
"...We can ask them for war reparations and hostages!"
Okay, I take back what I just said, this is just a lunatic, spared for a while, or is it to harvest war reparations and hostages?
"I'm sorry, sir, Pierre Robles was just not in a good state in the end. He was emotionally frustrated just now, was dumped, and had his head hit by gravel again. He has been a bit... recently.
The staff member shook his index finger, then pointed at Pierre Robles' head, indicating that something was wrong. Then, Pierre Robles seemed to become more excited. His colleagues quickly pulled him down, fearing that he would say something.
What more outrageous rumors.
"... You rotten feudal remnants cannot defeat the holy bourgeois warriors. The heads of stupid kings will eventually fall to the ground one by one, and the great republic will be destined to rise. This will be a storm, a
A huge storm that no one can escape. You fools..."
Well, his companion finally blocked his mouth and became quieter while being dragged out, but still struggled fiercely.
"Ahem, it seems that our staff is under too much pressure and needs some time to rest. Give him half a year's leave. If he hasn't had enough rest, I will give him another half year."
Even though I said this, there was still silence in the conference room. I knew that if this continued, there would probably be no results, so I had no choice but to throw out my own plan.
"Anlia didn't mean that her people also want to come to the surface. In fact, the plateau area is also a good place, at least much better than the dark underground. Let them come. Our participation will only aggravate the conflict. The orcs have their own
To deal with the orcs, it is best to teach the orcs to deal with the rules themselves..."
We talked about it piecemeal for several hours, but in the end, it was still the same. When this issue was resolved, the second new trouble became even more of a headache.
"Elf? This is really troublesome."
If you want to find the most unlucky person in this war, I am afraid that the elves are definitely the best choice. With the death of the patron saint, the main legions of the four northern elf kingdoms were completely wiped out. Although Liusu still retains a certain fighting strength, the members of the royal family are all
With all of them dead, it's hard to say whether those high elves are still capable of fighting.
In a sense, the Tassel Royal Family should be one of the culprits, but the previous Elf King has been wiped out with the fall of Felix. It is even more untenable to punish the banshee Suana who has been anti-war.
.
And this is not the biggest trouble. The most terrible thing is the sudden change in the current living environment. The self-sufficient cyclic ecological circle that has lived for thousands of years has been broken. The deadly climate has turned into the most severe life challenge. At this time,
Most residents are still struggling to survive.
"Forget it, don't think about this anymore, let's provide disaster relief first, otherwise everyone will die and everything we talk about will be empty talk."
The Northern Lights has been prepared. After it unloads the ore obtained from the barbarian tribes, the second rescue team will use it to arrive first, and I am also a member of this rescue team. (To be completed.)
