Chapter 552: Ultraman in the World (4) The Legend of the Land of Mountains and the Mountain Giant
In the past, it was just mountain villages fighting each other for water and good land, but after he was 3 years old, that is, in 1803 of the Great Calendar, with the outbreak of the "Free Land War in the Mountains", the conflict here instantly escalated from the mountain village fighting to the war between Sabe and Isafanlo.
The reason for the outbreak of the "Free Mountain War" was that Isavalo tried to solve the knife that Sabe had in his chest in the Free Mountain. As mentioned earlier, there are only three main cities in the Freedom of the Mountains, Tuvak and Habaro are under the control of Sabe, and Radivo to the north is under the control of Isafallo.
As far as Isafalo's territory at this time is concerned, Ladivo has a very important position, and the terrain is dangerous, needless to say, the most important thing is that once Sabe captures Radivo, it can easily isolate Isafannelo's Principality of Isafalo and the Duchy of Ravenc, so that Isavalo will be in danger of being broken one by one.
Therefore, Isafannero began to build Radivo on a large scale and prepared to invade, and removing the knife from his chest in the mountains was the most important national policy of Isavalo next.
Isavalo attaches so much importance to Radivo, and so does Sabe, who sees Radivo as the quickest way to resolve the war, and when he finds out that Isavalo has begun to build Radivo's defense system, Sabe begins to mobilize his army, preparing to deal with Isavalo before he can build the system, and the "Free Land War in the Mountains" breaks out.
In the past, the mountain village fight, unless it was two mountain villages with a blood feud, otherwise the villagers of the fight had a measured hand, and could only be stunned and disabled, if the person killed needed material compensation, and if there was no material, the perpetrator had to go to the deceased's family to do only three meals and accommodation coolies, which was a custom in the mountains freely.
But this affectionate custom was suddenly wiped out when the legions of Sabe and Isafalo were stationed. It was replaced by more brutal acts.
There is only one official road from Habaro to La Divo in the free land in the mountains, and the quality is still very poor, and the two countries, whether Sabe or Isavalo are stationed, have requisitioned a large number of fields developed through the mountain villages to supplement military rations, and even captured a large number of mountain people to be strong men, build official roads, transport military rations, and work as coolies.
Most excessively, both Sabe and Isavalo believed that the scattered mountain people in the free land of the mountains were a factor of instability, and that they should be relocated, and that they were bound to the land as the labor force that the nobles desperately needed, so both countries launched a slave hunt against the mountain people.
Under the persecution of the two countries, many mountain people who did not want to become serfs were forced to give up the territory they had developed for generations and fled deeper into the mountains. Although the depths of the mountains mean that there are more wilderness and more demonic beasts, but so what?
It is also in this harsh environment that most of the mountain people gave up the grudges of their ancestors, united and worked hard to pioneer in the newly relocated area, and left his hometown at the age of 3, fortunately did not die for various reasons on the way to migrate, so he is actually the child of the pioneer generation among the mountain people.
And the encounter between the Rich and the Diga was that he accidentally picked up the summoner of the Diga in the scavenging, so that he could talk to the Diga, so that he had a far higher and farther insight and wisdom than the mountain people, so before he grew up, the R was famous for his wisdom among the mountains, and was known as a child blessed by the gods.
So why did Tiga send down the summoner? Because Tiga, who was in the midst of the stars, quickly got bored and could only look down at the ground after the sun went away, except for talking to the gods, so Tiga wanted to go to the Nether to see.
But the divine realm thinks that Diga's body is too large, and after the test of the divine realm, Diga's strength is at the peak of the epic, and the physical strength is half a step myth, so the power should not go to the mortal realm.
Is it okay not to go to the mortal realm to go to the underworld? This point was also rejected by the divine realm, because Tiga was the only Ultraman, and the divine realm was not sure whether Tiga would be corrupted by hell, and Tiga also remembered that there were indeed corrupted Ultramans, and heard that the divine realm was so afraid of the underworld, and Tiga, who was afraid that he would become dark again, could only give up this plan.
In the end, Tiga finally reached a compromise with the divine realm, and Tiga could follow the example of the divine envoy and allow it to temporarily descend to the lower realm through a certain medium, and as soon as the divine realm said this, Tiga remembered his previous experience with Dagu, so he asked the gods (the god of the slashing world volunteered) to create a transformation device (called a summoner in the divine realm) and put it down.
The transformer/summoner was given its own light by Tiga, and it would find a suitable master by itself, but just like that, Tiga actually waited for a hundred and fifty years, until 1810, when he met the son of Su Weili's family.
Diga and Tsui are also teachers and friends, Diga looks for classics from the divine realm, teaches the cultivation methods of the world, and in terms of personality, Diga tries his best to cultivate Riga into a good person.
The reason why I say as much as possible is because this world is completely different from the world of the Great Ancients, although there are crimes in the world of the Great Ancients, except for a small number of perverts with personality defects, even those criminals know that they are committing crimes, and in this world, many crimes in the Great Ancient World are taken for granted here, even children feel normal.
For example, robbery, on the earth, this kind of crime is to be entered, but in the mountains, from the elderly to the children, robbery is regarded as an act that is no different from eating and drinking, "robbing the mountain people is our tradition since ancient times," this is the common understanding of the mountain people (this is also one of the reasons why the two countries participating in the war fought against the mountain people).
In the era of the people, in addition to tradition, there were other factors in robbery, that is, revenge, revenge on the army that drove them out of their ancestral land, so the mountain people also repeatedly attacked the army's grain transportation team, on the one hand, as a means of obtaining food.
However, this behavior did not change the situation in a very positive way, only exacerbating the tension between the mountain people and the migrants relocated by Sabe and Isafannalo. Out of fate with Li, Diga doesn't want to let Li's life be swept into this whirlpool with no way out, but to make some changes.
When the man became an adult, Tiga allowed him to use the summoner, and he followed the summon of the man to the mountains and freely, so that he could do some good deeds, such as helping the lost traveler to guide the way, stopping the meaningless vendetta in the village, and blocking the invasion of the mountain people by the beast tide.
Over time, the name "Mountain Giant" really began to spread freely in the mountains, and the mountain people regarded the "Mountain Giant" as a blessing given to them by the gods.
As for the man, he also grew up in the process of helping people in Tiga, and in the process of helping people over the years, he gradually realized two truths: first, the mountain people should not kill each other, but should unite together to face this treacherous world;
On the day of his marriage, he made a vow to Tiga, expressing his future aspirations: "I will protect the peace of this place, and the freedom of the mountains is the home of the mountain people, not the stage where two countries compete for hegemony." ”
For this ideal, the priests began to run around, but they did not get much recognition, and even because they often borrowed the "mountain giants" in the process to try to convince the mountain people, the priests sent by Mosolona thought that it was related to Tiga, and was attacked by the swamp priests.
The priests and the mercenaries they brought were far stronger than the Giants, and at this critical time, the Priests could only summon Diga to solve the crisis, and in the end, although the priests were repulsed, the relationship between the Priests and the "Mountain Giants" was completely exposed, and the mystery of the "Mountain Giants" was revealed.
However, this world is not the earth, and knowledgeable scholars regard the Tsu as a warlock who has taken the shit and got the bloodline of the legendary giant, and the mountain people who have grown up watching the Tsui only know that the strength of the Tsui is very strong, and it is very powerful after transforming into a giant, and they do not understand the meaning of the sudden transformation of the Tsui who should be a fighter in theory into a giant.
The revelation of the identity of the mountain giant and the good deeds that the mountain giant has done over the years has greatly increased the prestige of the mountain in the free land, so some people really began to seriously consider what the mountain said and the theories propagandized, and gathered under the banner of the mountain.
When the power of the Rice gradually grew, an unexpected news greatly disrupted the plan of the Rice, causing many of the mountain people who had originally gathered under the banner of the Rice and the mountain people who were preparing to defect to the Rice to turn around and go home. The unexpected news was that in 1821, with the signing of the Peace of St. Arion, the "War of the Free Lands in the Mountains" between Sabe and Isavallo came to an end.
Now that the war is over, then everything will be back on track, back to the track of life that our ancestors have been familiar with for generations, isn't it? This war was just an accident, so what life was before and should still be like now. And although the theory is beautiful, it costs blood and is full of countless unknowns, so many people retreat.
Although the "Peace of Saint-Aria" stipulates that the freedom of the mountains was ceded to Isafelo by Sabe, most of the mountain people did not know about this treaty at that time, they only knew that most of the army was withdrawn, even a small number of mountain people who knew about this treaty did not think so, and if it was Isavalo, it would be Isavalo, and it should not be what it should be now, and Isafalo could not try to rule the free land of the mountains like other principalities, right?
I'm sorry to be right, Isavannaro really planned to do this, the reason is very simple, the "Free Land War in the Mountains" made the two countries stunned to find that there are so many inhabitants in the free land of the mountains, and these residents do not need to pay taxes to the nobles and live in the mountains on their own.
The thought of so many inhabitants who were theoretically under their own rule, but in fact did not have to pay taxes to the authorities at all, made the nobles of Isavalo anxious, mine and mine, these heads are mine!
And the nobles also persuaded the Savavian dynasty, who ruled Isavanro, that if the free land in the mountains was not dealt with, what would happen if the peasants in other regions were educated? In fact, many of the immigrants who had moved to the free land in the mountains during the war had already gone to the wilderness to spread their own wilderness, in short, they refused to pay taxes.
More importantly, the freedom of the mountains is of greater strategic significance than military significance to Isafranlo, and the freedom of the mountains is suitable for fighting from the south to the north, and it is of little significance for Isavalo to occupy this place in the north. The most valuable Tuwak gold mine in the mountains is located in the south, on the border with Sabe, and is very dangerous.
Therefore, the Savani dynasty of Isafan Lo made up his mind that it was necessary to put an end to the lawlessness of the free land in the mountains since ancient times, and bring true rule to the free land in the mountains.
So the Savani dynasty changed the name of the mountain freedom to the Principality of Savani, sent the prince of the House of Savan, Nataro, to rule the mountain free land, and gave Nataro a large number of troops, requiring Nataro to complete the task.
Therefore, when the mountain people of the Principality of Saván, who should now be called the Principality of Savani, left one by one without knowing it, they did not know that Nataro, the prince of Savani, had arrived with a large army to restore the land to the same as the outside world.
