Resistance has always been an extremely rare quality. Throughout human history, not many nations possess this quality. At least in the West, it is extremely rare. In the entire history of the West, it seems that except for the ancient Roman Spartans, Outside of Dax, there are no stories of civilian uprisings against tyranny.
At this point, Chinese history is different. If you look at Chinese history, you will find that our history is a history of working people resisting tyranny. The change of dynasties is often due to peasant uprisings. I don’t remember where I saw this. One sentence.
It is said that Western history is written by the Western elite, while Chinese history is written by tens of thousands of working people who are willing to work hard. This can also be reflected in the myths and legends of both sides. The simplest comparison is ancient Chinese mythology. Many of the heroes in the novel were born in the wild, and even the gods were cultivated by mortals. But what about the heroes in Western mythology? Most of them are inextricably linked to the gods, and some are even directly between gods and mortals. Descendants of demigods. (There are many examples in this regard so I won’t explain them one by one to avoid confusion)
In short, although they were happy that someone came to save them, after calming down, the people in the village were more worried and scared. Because Kanan was not dead, there were still more than 40 people in his gang. This is still a problem for the village It's a huge threat.
Some people were even not happy about the arrival of Arthur and his party.
For example, Merlin's friend Will was very angry at the arrival of Arthur and the others. His reason was simple, there would be death if he didn't resist. Now that they have killed Kanan's group, Arthur and the others can easily shoot them. They just slapped their butts and left, but the people in the village still had to stay and face the group of bandits! Originally, the bandits were just robbing, but now...the nature has changed.
People in the village are also worried.
This is very difficult for Morgana to understand. There are hundreds of people in this village, of which only about 50 are men, and they are all strong laborers. (Under this level of productivity, the physical fitness of the ancient Celts could not be better. Well, the average life span is not high, so there are very few elderly people, and there are not many children, because if there are too many, they won’t be able to feed them.)
Why don't so many men resist? Even if there are only twenty or thirty people fighting hard, the robber will take action. After all, robbery is a business without capital. The robber will subconsciously avoid any behavior that increases costs. This has nothing to do with whether the robber's brain is good or not. If the people in the village resisted, no matter how vicious these bandits were, they would not be so vicious that they would even steal grains.
Will's speech made Morgana extremely shocked that there are still people with this way of thinking.
But Will's remarks were indeed very popular in the village, so the atmosphere in the village began to become strange. While they were grateful to Arthur and the others, they also secretly blamed them.
Arthur was extremely angry at this weird thinking, but for Merlin's sake he didn't say much. He just patiently told the villagers that they could stay until these bandits were eliminated!
This assurance made the people in the village breathe a sigh of relief.
However, since the number of robbers was a bit large, Arthur proposed that the men in the village receive training to resist the robbers together. The people in the village reluctantly agreed to this request under the leadership of someone.
But Will was still making sarcastic remarks. He thought Arthur was just trying to get the villagers to play soldier games with him. If Arthur was really willing to help them, he could have led a large group of soldiers to wipe out the robbers instead of letting them go.
Fight with robbers.
Will was even dissatisfied with his good friend. He thought that 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 matter, so why did he back down?
Merlin couldn't refute this. But he insisted that Arthur didn't want to play some soldier game, he really wanted to help Eldor. Otherwise, he wouldn't be here.
No one on either side can convince the other.
The situation in the village is not good either. The men are honest farmers who have only held a sickle in their lives and never a sword. They also lack the spirit of resistance and are afraid of the battle they will face.
Arthur is helpless and powerless. He doesn't know what to do. He understands his father a little now. When you are burdened with huge responsibilities, the pressure alone can make you sleepless. Now he only needs to bear the burden
A village, but what about his father? He needs to carry an entire kingdom!
Just when Arthur was at a loss, someone stood up, two women.
Morgana and Gwen!
If you want to say who has the most rebellious spirit in Camelot, it must be Morgana! She could not accept the negative mentality of the villagers, so she began to lobby those women. It must be said that Morgana has a very strong spirit.
The women were inspired by her appeal, and they began to do what they could under Morgana's command. They helped polish weapons, make arrows, cook, and help the men clean up. In short, they did what they should do
She does everything she shouldn't!
The purpose is to inspire those men.
Gwen is Morgana's best assistant. She was born as a commoner and has a natural affinity with the villagers of Eldor. At the same time, her optimism and strength also set an example for women. After all, although Morgana is very good,
But there is still a strong sense of distance from those women. How can a princess and a peasant woman be the same? But Gwen has no such worries.
Spirit has always been an extremely important attribute. Mental changes can make people undergo earth-shaking changes in a short period of time. At least men, inspired by women, began to have the enthusiasm and courage to defend their homeland.
At this time, under the guidance of Gwen, Arthur also cheered up and stood up and delivered a shocking speech, which inspired the people in the village to burst out with infinite courage! As a prince who received a strict education, he boosted morale.
This kind of thing is not difficult at all.
It was also at this time that Arthur began to have a crush on Gwen, a strong and kind girl...
At this point, only Will in the whole village still dislikes Arthur, and everyone else is willing to accept Arthur's leadership. (This part of the plot in the series is obviously promoting women's rights, which I think is a bit ridiculous, just
It was deleted directly. There is too much political correctness in this drama. I didn’t realize it before when I watched it. Now I watch it again and my brain hurts.)
After a period of simple training, the day came when the bandits came. With the help of Knight Perino, Arthur formulated a quite complete battle plan to meet the bandits' attack.
…
In fact, when things developed to this point, the fate of those robbers was almost foreseeable. In fact, these robbers were not a problem at all. Under the leadership of Arthur and Perino, the villagers used traps and their understanding of the terrain to defeat the robbers.
Caught off guard, with four outstanding genuine knights making sharp knives, and a group of villagers helping out as support, it is really not difficult to deal with a group of unorganized and undisciplined bandits.
The main thing is to let the villagers overcome their fear of bandits. Once the villagers kill the bandits and see the blood, everything will fall into place. The vast ocean of People's War is no joke.
Originally, things basically ended happily here. The robber died, the villagers were rescued, and Arthur and the others satisfied their justice.
But the problem is at the end.
King Odin of Cendrid, who originally refused to send troops, didn't know what was wrong with him. He suddenly sent his son Ariled to Eldo to prepare to suppress the bandits. In this way, they and Ya, who happened to defeat the bandits,
