Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Dwarven Supreme King
The main character, the succubus, has a very high opinion of this new lover. I think this guy is at least a high-level legend at the level of an uncle who lacks ears. It is even very likely that it has reached the same level as Angel, that is, a demigod.
"It's really bad.,Generally speaking,Shouldn't an old pervert like this lie down in his own home and sleep.,Even if the world is destroyed, it won't appear.,Concentrate on waiting for the protagonist to come to the door to challenge.,And then send money, equipment, and experience points? A scarlet skeleton like this shouldn't just be messing around the map! Where is the GM?! I want to complain! ”
The protagonist succubus screamed desperately in his heart. It's just a pity. In this world, whether it is the god of the upper body AO, the immortals of the seven aunts and eight aunts, or the GM or something, there is no response.
"Sure enough, reality is a garbage game." The main character, the succubus, complained in his heart, while calmly and quietly looking at the pale blue phantom.
"The ......"
Before the protagonist succubus could shout, the old dwarf Moradin, whose body had regained the ability to move freely, shouted out: "The High King?!" What the hell is going on?! What did you do to me?! ”
"The High King? Is this guy the Dwarven High King? The main character, the succubus, swallowed back the words that came to his lips and continued to observe the situation. At the same time, he secretly recalled all the information about the "Dwarven Supreme King" in his heart.
The social structure of the dwarves is very strange. In the eyes of humans, it can even be called primitive.
Dwarves usually operate in "clans" units. And "clan" is usually an upgraded and enhanced version of "family". Or it can be said that it is a super family.
The dwarves who share a common surname choose the mountains, the underground, the forests. Choose any land with rich mineral vein resources to live in. Deforestation, stone gathering, metal smelting, building fortresses. So. A typical dwarven fortress was built.
And usually, a typical dwarven fortress, that is, a typical dwarven kingdom. A dwarf who rules over a clan can be called the patriarch of a "so-and-so clan". It's like Moradin. He can also claim to be the king of the Tomahawk clan if he wants to......
Yes, the title of king is so worthless in the dwarven world. Some have one or two hundred small broken dwarves. The leader of the dwarven clan who occupies a small broken hill can also proudly claim to be the king. This makes other races, such as humans, humans, and humans, very unhappy. Those awesome occupy hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land. The leaders of the human countries who have tens of thousands of younger brothers under their command and can raze the mountains inhabited by the dwarven clans in a matter of minutes, they are the kings. The dwarves who can be bulldozed in minutes are also kings. Accurate. Super ~ unpleasant.
As we all know, human beings are a people who like to care about fame and find trouble. Historically, they have fought with dwarves over this issue.
The result of such battles is usually the victory of human kings with thousands to 10,000 horses. The dwarves are not bad at all, though. The armament was excellent, and the fortress was also very strong. But the number of people is really hard.
After being bullied many times like this, causing many dwarven clans to disappear. The dwarves seem to have learned some lessons. And after that. They launched an upgraded version of the clan. That is, clan union. Several clans, or even dozens of clans, unite to bring together a mountainous area, a forest area. All in all, it is the area rich in mineral resources that is occupied. Then build a lot of fortresses to form a fortress group. In this way, both strength and combat effectiveness have increased. The human kings who like to have nothing to do will have no choice but to deal with the dwarven fortresses. So the dwarves were safe.
And then. The dwarven clan aggregate is there, so we have to choose someone who can manage things. So the dwarves "invented" two more systems. One is the "King's Council" and the other is the "Elect King". Former. It is a political system in which the kings of each clan come together and decide by democratic discussion and majority voting. Regardless of the size of the clan, one person, one vote. There will not be a big clan with a majority of votes and a small clan with a minority.
In the latter, it is the kings who elect another "great king". Unify the entire clan alliance as a leader. And this "big king". The dwarves asked, "What should it be called?" "So it's very distressing. None of them were clever enough to invent such awesome titles as "Emperor", "King of Kings", "Caliph", "Augustus". So after careful consideration, the dwarves decided, "Just call the Great King." ”
This is a name that many human kings find very sad. It has been used for thousands of years. And the elective monarchy, the king's parliamentary system, has also existed for thousands of years with the alliance of dwarven clans.
This is also confusing and uncomfortable for human beings.
In fact. Something similar has happened in the history of the human side. From clans, or tribes, to clan unions, or tribal unions. Soon, however, the anti-human behavior of clan alliance and tribal alliance was replaced by a more advanced, more advanced, and more duang "kingdom".
Humans born of ambition, more powerful humans, more cunning humans, more selfish humans...... Killed all of their competitors. In the end, the tribal leader who "everyone can be elected, one person, one vote" has become a hereditary king.
Humanity rejoiced that the dwarves did the same. However, it's a pity. The dwarves didn't. Both the system of electing the king and the system of the king's parliament are running steadily. There's no point in making mistakes.
Human beings are very unhappy -- they are not afraid of not knowing the goods, they are afraid of comparing goods. In the single universe of the protagonist's succubus's previous life, there is only one living creature on Earth. Therefore, this kind of behavior is slightly packaged by historians, sociologists, and humanists, and they can claim that human beings are developing and society is progressing, and it is the inevitable choice of history to replace the tribal system with the feudal system. And "the productive forces determine the relations of production, and the relations of production react on the productive forces" or something. Taking this situation for granted is not surprising, it is a very common thing.
But not in this multiverse.
This multiverse is not just humans, but intelligent beings.
So, in comparison with the dwarves, humans were surprised to discover a terrible truth. That is, compared to dwarves, humans are very undisciplined.
If humans are really evil creatures, then forget it. No discipline is nothing. There is no discipline in the whole world. It doesn't matter, you don't need to care.
But humans are not. Although human beings have no discipline, they are disgusted with their own lack of discipline. To be more accurate, I don't want others to know that I don't have discipline. Against this backdrop, humanity has decided to exterminate the dwarves, evil, backward, creatures who occupy too much wealth and have no respect for humanity - especially for their rulers.
Here the ideological war is again here.
Although, the war potential of a tribal aggregate is much stronger than that of a single clan. However, in the face of the blows of the concerted efforts of the human kingdom, the dwarves are still powerless. In this case, the dwarves find that they must have a larger, higher-level organization.
After being wiped out by humans, many tribal alliances were wiped out, and the remaining dwarven forces finally united to form the three most important dwarven races: shield dwarves, gray dwarves, and golden dwarves. and each established its own kingdom.
The situation of the war with humanity is beginning to improve. Humans have likewise discovered the changes of the dwarves. After discovering that this group of creatures had formed a kingdom like himself, and that there was a real king in command, the humans finally stopped attacking and persecuting the dwarves with satisfaction.
After this, the gray dwarves went far underground, never to intervene in the wars of the surface nations again. And the golden dwarves and the shield dwarves combined to form a broad, pan-continental alliance. and combined the electoral system with the King's Council. A broad democratic centralist federation was formed in the guise of a constitutional monarchy.
The clan chooses the king of the clan. The kings of the united clans choose the Great King. The Great Kings chose a Dwarven High King. As the leader of the dwarven collective. At the same time, it has the power of unlimited power in the situation during the war. The dwarves thus formed an unbreakable alliance.
Of course, because of the urine nature of the dwarves and their combat effectiveness. So most of the time, the High King is just an honorary title that doesn't have much practical significance. After all, lovers are quite strong. Like humans, because of a trivial matter, there are very few races that launch a full-scale, war-against the dwarves. So it's really good to let the "Supreme King" exercise power.
This is the origin and power of the High King. And this dwarven supreme king who appeared in front of the protagonist Succubus them. There are many personal legends about him.
He is one of the very few dwarves who has become the supreme king of the dwarves with the profession of war presiding over the war. Before him, the High King was usually a dwarven warrior, a warrior class like a dwarven defender. In rare times of peace, there are also dwarven sages who receive this honorary position.
And the War Priest, as the name suggests, is a powerful class dedicated to warfare, both combat and priest arts. Those who turn to the chief priest of war usually have a high talent for combat, as well as command skills. Let's talk about the current situation. It's almost like "they're agreed." "Feelings.
An all-out war between the elves and the dwarves is imminent, and in this great era, a war priest has emerged as the dwarven supreme king. It's no wonder people are skeptical...... (To be continued......)
