Chapter 253: Prelude to war

Views:

An undercurrent is surging in the land around the Blue Mountains, and a large number of Turin dwarf nobles are acting fiercely. These people, who are known as the stingiest and richest people in the entire Middle-earth continent, have given out so generously for the first time. A large amount of gold, gems, armor, weapons, and other rare treasures that are difficult to find in the human world are so valuable that even the nobles among humans are extremely excited. The most surprising thing is that these Turin dwarves are neither Not for food, nor for a large number of daily necessities, but for mercenary troops, a large number of troops.

Middle-earth is a fairly vast world. The distribution of force in this world is mainly occupied by two enemy camps. One side is the alliance camp composed of humans, elves, and dwarves, and the other side is composed of orcs, goblins, A small number of trolls and a loose camp composed of humans who have fallen into darkness. The two camps can be said to be endlessly hostile. However, under normal circumstances, neither camp is interested in staying on the other side's territory. Basically, each side plays its own role. , so generally speaking, in peaceful times, the disputes and frictions within each other's camps are more serious. For example, the orcs will not be polite when they see a lone goblin, and they usually kill and eat them.

Relatively speaking, the alliance between humans, elves, and dwarves is much better. At least there is no possibility of killing or eating. However, due to the different ideas and interests of each other, there are constant small frictions. For example, most forests and jungles For the elves in their own territory, if there are mountainous areas in these forests and jungles, and the dwarves go there to prospect for mines, disputes may arise. In fact, the elves and dwarves in Middle-earth are somewhat hostile to each other, and these two The three tribes are somewhat disdainful of human beings, so the relationship between the three tribes alliance is not as strong as imagined.

Not only that, except for the elves who have endless lifespans, so they are relatively at a higher level, the dwarves and humans have lifespans, they will grow old and die, and they have much more intense conflicts than the elves, such as humans vs. glory. , the desire for power, fame, and enjoyment, while the dwarves are eager for gold, weapons, gems, and territory. It is this desire that gave birth to the mercenaries of Middle-earth, who serve the nobles everywhere. service, and then get rewards from these rich people and nobles, and then use these rewards to buy weapons or enjoy things. In fact, at the beginning of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, one of the protagonists is called the Northern Ranger, and his nature is close to hiring. soldiers.

When the dwarf nobles of Blue Mountain offered a large amount of bounty, mercenaries from all directions began to gather. Before long, these dwarf nobles had gathered more than a thousand mercenaries, equipped with the latest weapons made by the dwarves. They have sophisticated armor and weapons, eat the fattest beef and mutton bought by the dwarves, drink expensive spirits shipped from the human kingdom, and live a much better life than the common people under the rule of these dwarf nobles. Every day they only need to brag about their past achievements. According to his achievements, he can get generous rewards from the dwarf nobles by flexing the muscles on his arms and the scars on his body. Such a life is like living a fairy life.

But the dwarf nobles were still not satisfied. They were still waiting for more mercenaries to arrive. At the same time, they even began to contact other dwarf clans, and even betrayed the interests of the Turin dwarves, hoping to get help from these dwarf clans, and even some The dwarf nobles proposed to contact the human nobles and ask them to send troops together. However, this suggestion was rejected by most of the dwarves because the human nobles were too greedy. Once they asked for help, these dwarf nobles might go bankrupt, and this It's not much different than killing them.

Since the last time the dwarves launched their private army and guards to attack the Blue Mountains and failed, this is their second attack. There are nearly two thousand mercenaries in total, as well as the last dwarf guards they can mobilize. There were about five hundred people. It wasn't that they didn't want to gather more dwarves, but the more dwarves all ran to the Blue Mountain because there were rumors about sharing wealth, food, land, and things that should belong to them.

In Blue Mountain, because Chu Hao deliberately did not give them any further instructions or orders, and these dwarves also subconsciously began to guard against Chu Hao and other humans, the order in Blue Mountain has actually begun to be restored, and there has never been any proletariat. The dwarves who think about heaven on earth, or what kind of heaven on earth, after getting enough food, warm clothes, and some gold for everyone, these dwarves are actually completely satisfied. Among these dwarves, some have The knowledgeable and prestigious dwarves have formed a temporary council of elders and began to manage the order of the entire central area of the Blue Mountain. They also assigned many dwarves to go around the Blue Mountain to inherit the inheritance of the escaped nobles, whether it was land or legacy. House wealth, etc., have actually begun to build a new aristocratic mechanism.

Chu Hao saw all this, but he didn't say a word at all. In fact, even without any words, he could tell that these dwarves were wary of their group, and they were particularly cautious. In the past two days, more and more dwarves have begun to overturn the verdict of the dead nobles. Taking the evidence they found, they began to discuss which dwarves betrayed Thorin, which dwarves were innocent, and which dwarves were harmed. Some dwarves may have been implicated, and as the discussion continued, it was increasingly extended to Chu Hao's actions. Some dwarves began to question whether his actions were legal according to dwarven laws.

No one is an idiot, what is good, what is bad, what is good for them, what is bad for them, again, no one is an idiot.

Facing the questions from the rest of the team, Chu Hao said: The success of heaven on earth is not accidental, nor inevitable. When the initial violence is over, both the victim and the beneficiary will start to reflect on whether they can rely solely on deception. superior, then when this lie is exposed, both the victim and the beneficiary will hate Heaven on Earth, even if most of them benefit from Heaven on Earth to become the beneficiaries of truly free people. It is ironic, but the fact is This, and this, can also be found everywhere in history.

At this moment, everyone in the Arctic team has been in the Blue Mountain for nearly ten days, and all team members have also seen the dwarves' thoughts changing, from the initial enthusiasm, to the carnival, to the kind of equal sharing of wealth. The joy and happiness, and then only two days later, when the dwarf guards of the Blue Mountain defeated a noble private soldier who was ordered to attack the Blue Mountain, these dwarves seemed to recall the deep-rooted authority of the nobles and understand Fear and fear, at the same time, they began to reflect on everything they had done before, and began to rehabilitate these dwarf nobles. At the same time, they also became more and more alienated from Chu Hao and others. In fact, everyone had discovered that if you have If there were no traces, it was more like they were being supervised by the dwarf guards.

Several newcomers in Arctic Island are still a little aggrieved, because it is thanks to them that these dwarf civilians can live as well as they do now, but their actions are obviously intended to use Chu Hao and them as scapegoats, or to fight with those The aristocrats must reconcile, or push them out to take the blame, these ungrateful guys.

However, Chu Hao did not move at all. As the captain and wise man of the Arctic Team, his behavior was extremely strange. To put it simply, he did not move at all, allowing these dwarves to start to reflect, rehabilitate, supervise, and even secretly When communicating with those nobles, in short, he seemed to be completely resigned to his fate, and the old people in Arctic who were familiar with him completely trusted him and allowed him to make decisions.

Finally, on the tenth day, when the supervision of the dwarves had become very direct and obvious, Aoqi couldn't help but asked: Chu Hao, what exactly are you planning to do? Apart from the earthly heavenism at the beginning, now You didn't do anything. I can't see what you are planning at all. What do you mean by the Chu family's killing method

Chu Hao showed a calm expression. He walked to the window and looked out. He saw many dwarf guards patrolling there, and they left the center of the Blue Mountain with weapons and set off towards the remote areas of the Blue Mountain. He turned around and said with a smile: "Hasn't my game been laid out a long time ago? In fact, wise men, layouts and strategies are not as complicated as you think. It is impossible to make temporary changes based on changes in the middle. Most of them The layout will be laid out when it is decided from the beginning, and once the layout starts, there is almost no need to do anything. You only need to act according to the initial layout. And my layout is actually very simple, it is just the Chu family's killing method. This It is also the art of war that I am most proud of, and currently, the layout is coming to an end.

The others didn't seem to understand, and Chu Hao stopped talking. His consciousness had already thought of elsewhere, on the battlefield where the flames were boiling.

While Chu Hao and others were talking, the human mercenaries hired by the dwarf nobles had already set foot on the land of Blue Mountain, and starting from the outskirts of the Blue Mountain, according to the orders of the dwarf nobles, they killed all Among the civilians who hold the gold and food of the dwarf nobles and occupy the land and inheritance of the dwarf nobles, only those dwarves who are still in ragged clothes can be spared, and almost all such dwarves rushed to the Blue Mountains. The original dwarves of the Blue Mountains The poor and civilians have already had their wealth equally distributed, so they are all being hunted. In this way, wherever this army goes, there are ruins, and the corpses of the dwarves are also piled up, leaving only blood and fire. ruins

The nobles do not want to take prisoners. Anyone who has robbed the nobles, anyone who owns the wealth, land, and inheritance of the nobles will be eliminated. Of course, they do not know that there are only a very small number of dwarves who actually participated in the rebellion. Most of them People are just getting a share of the equally distributed wealth, and this number of dwarves is almost all the dwarves in the Blue Mountains at present.

The killing goes on, and in the heart of the Blue Mountains, panic boils

Chu Hao looked out of the window of the room. His eyes showed indifference and understanding. These dwarves would soon know that the so-called class enemies are the most ruthless and decisive enemies. They have no way to escape and they cannot compromise unless they They choose to self-destruct.
