Chapter 1,769 Entertainment War

The adventurers organized by Duran were easily defeated by the Immortal King's subordinates, but his behavior had completely angered the Immortal King.

The Great Tomb is the foundation of the Immortal King. He will never allow anyone to interfere. Anyone who dares to take advantage of the Great Tomb will be an enemy who will be killed quickly.

Duran left the Great Tomb under the unfriendly eyes of the Immortal King and his men.

However, Duran's methods made the Immortal King reconsider his strategy. He knew that he had always been too conservative, and sometimes he should be bolder.

Under Duran's stimulation, a bold plan took shape. He wanted to stage a good show, let the undead army attack human cities, and then let the guardians act as saviors to gain reputation.

The bold plan of the Immortal King can be said to achieve multiple goals with one stone. First of all, it is prestige, and at the same time, it can also show strength. If possible, he wants to take this opportunity to build a country. He must first enclose this land and cannot let other humans go.

Approached recklessly.

After establishing a country, he can have a group of human subordinates and build a city on the Great Tomb as a cover. Then people will no longer think about the Great Tomb.

If this nation-building plan succeeds, then it is definitely a good and harmless plan.

The Immortal King has been cornered by Duran, and now he wants to move his troops in danger. Now the conservative method is just to be passively beaten, and the only way is to take the initiative.

When the guardians heard the plan of the Immortal King, they said it was very good. Their king should be the embodiment of wisdom and the representative of evil.

This plan of starting a war and ending it yourself is simply too good. Not only is it evil, but it also has huge benefits.

This is a huge project, 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 the hero.

In fact, during this period of time, the Immortal King already knew that the three directions of the Great Tomb were the three major human countries, the Kingdom, the Empire and the Theocracy.

The kingdom and the empire have been at war, and neither side can win or lose. But now that the empire has changed its emperor, I don’t know if the situation will change.

As for the Theocracy in the south, it is a completely religious country. They were the ones who summoned angels last time. Maybe they will have special props.

There is also a very small country, sandwiched between the kingdom and the empire. It is the dwarf country. This country is very small, and it is still among the big human countries, so it has basically no sense of existence. The reason why it was not destroyed is only because of that

The land is too barren.

Dwarves are all good blacksmiths, which is also a very classic setting.

After knowing this, the Immortal King prepared to choose a city between the Kingdom and the Empire to attack.

Peasants in this world actually have no sense of belonging to the country, because for them the country means paying taxes and doing corvee labor. 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 your status, especially for poor people.

Farmers don't have this idea. They only need to rely on the sky for food. They won't starve to death anyway if they have land.

Therefore, no matter whether it is a kingdom or an empire, as long as the farmers can pay less taxes and diversify their land, they will not mind changing the rule of the country and changing the aristocratic system.

Therefore, it was the most difficult to mobilize the enthusiasm of farmers in ancient times. Generally speaking, religion had to be used to control and stimulate their motivation to attack pagans.

Or it might be to propagate the evil nature of the enemy, saying that the enemy is here to steal money, land, and women, so as to stimulate everyone's energy to protect their homeland.

But even so, in the long history of history, for a long time, those who could serve as soldiers and fight in wars were the privileges only enjoyed by urban residents. And farmers could only be regarded as a slightly higher level than slaves.

However, there are great differences between the East and the West regarding the status of farmers.

The main reason is because of the river.

The Nile River, the longest river on earth, is in Africa, the Amazon River, the second longest, is in South America, the Yangtze River, the third longest river, is in China, the Mississippi River, the fourth longest river, is in the United States, the Yenisey River, the fifth longest river, is in Siberia, and the sixth longest river is in Siberia.

The 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.

Neither America nor Siberia had sustained large-scale population gatherings in ancient times. In Africa, there was Egypt, but it also declined later.

There are two rivers in China within the first ten miles, and the Yellow River is constantly flooded. So many scientists say that a strong central dynasty is needed to combat floods.

There are a lot of floods, which shows that the instability of farmers' income has increased, and it has also caused farmers to rely more on the central government. This is why the main force of the rebel army is always farmers in every turmoil. This makes peasant uprisings a recurring phenomenon in Chinese history.

Phenomenon.

The Western citizenship system is dominated by urban people, and later capitalism is also dominated by urban people. In the West, urban residents were the first to awaken, and farmers were forced to accept industrialization in the end.

But it is different in the East. Farmers have their own strength and their own demands. Although they are usually scattered, when they are needed, they will burst out with impressive energy. These have been under the leadership of the Central Dynasty from ancient times to the present.

The accumulated memories of fighting against floods are engraved into our genes.

So as long as they have a good leader or a correct program, they are always ready to fight against the powerful nature.

So Westerners all look very elegant and gentlemanly, but no one cares about the people at the bottom because these people are never the protagonists.

In the east, everything looks like dirt, but these rustic people have been the masters of this land for generations, and are irreplaceable protagonists in every era.

Due to the influence of the mysterious power, the land originally dug by Dulan has become different, so the two rivers have lost their influence, so the outer civilization has lost the power to unify and separated into multiple countries. Although

Once upon a time, mankind almost unified, but in the end, because there was no external motivation for unification, it ended up splitting.

Because there is no need to gather all the forces, unification seems redundant and does not meet the interests and needs of some people. Unlike facing floods, which require unity and concentration of all available forces, unification is the best choice.

For a unified big country, the rise and fall of a country are nothing more than the same reason. The rise is because this huge power has been reasonably released after controlling floods, and the fall is because someone abused this power regardless of the consequences. In the end, they can only

Backlashed by power.

The former becomes a wise king, and the latter becomes a tyrant.

Therefore, every year when the kingdom and the empire go to war, there is no peasant uprising, because the people who die are urban citizens who are full and holding on. They fight for glory and status, and have nothing to do with survival. The farmers on the border are the ones who suffer the most.

, city people are completely happy with it.

War is also a special form of entertainment.
