Chapter 36 Democracy at its Primitive
In a flash.
Everyone felt that their vitality was overflowing, as if they were drunk after eating, or like the bone-eating dream of ecstasy after taking psychedelics.
The senses of the warriors were not confused by this—the ancestral spirits were withdrawn from human animals and infused with the strange life force that was given to their bodies.
The person who received the effect of the spell had the acuity of his five senses soared to an unimaginable level.
The soldiers' eyesight suddenly became like falcons hunting for food, and when they stared, they could see the restlessness and exhaustion on the faces of each soldier on the human walls in the distance, their noses were as sharp as those of bears, and the air they inhaled could recognize hundreds of various smells with extraordinary clarity, and the fragrance of flower and plant juice and the attraction of food to the stomach could be easily distinguished, as if they could "see smells" like their eyes saw colors His skin can clearly sense the direction of the wind, and can even sense their constant changes in temperature and humidity, and his body can wave his arms and weapons more effortlessly when running and charging, and his ears can recognize dozens of different birds and insects chirping at the same time in the thin sound of the wind, whether excited, frightened or desperate.
For the insects that live in the "heaven and earth" the size of several grasses, these alien hairless monsters are excitedly trampling and destroying their homes, and the desire to kill is permeated with a desire to kill, and even birds and beasts can clearly feel it.
This moment.
The soldiers in the camp who are about to rush to the battlefield are like listening to a bustling and noisy tragicomedy.
Mona Ludao naturally felt a new power surging in his body! That scorching breath flowed through his body.
He turned to the sub-giant warriors and shouted, "The despicable Kudugu God has broken his ancient oath and banished us from his homeland, and he has tried in vain to oppress us and enslave us to the freedom of our souls in order to satisfy the greed of the ruling class of the so-called New Aristocracy of the Kudugu Kingdom. Turn us into slave laborers in factories, serfs who pay heavy taxes in the name of arbitrariness, and domestic servants who can be killed at will. “
"But we will not succumb to such a fate of enslavement, and we must not become pathetic two-legged sheep that others ask for! We are free souls that roam the mountains and forests freely, blessed by the ancestral spirits, and the great blood of the ancestral spirits flows in our breasts! Although we have lost our former homeland, we will soon establish a new ancestral land. ”
He pointed hard at David Lü's town and shouted, "Look, those weak peasant peoples, like an ostrich sticking its head into the sand—huddle in what they think are impregnable walls, trying in vain to resist our efforts to build a new home with those low and ridiculously rotten stone walls! But the poor timid nobles in that city cannot hire a powerful spellcaster! No godly priest is willing to shelter such a deviant nobleman, so he is just a lump of meat to be slaughtered! Come, cross that low wall with our wind-wrapped legs, and on the battlefield we are the great heroes of Sedek Bale!"
The chief's words immediately aroused the hatred and blood of all the warriors!
The Karui people were originally a communal society of clan tribes, and their clan members had equal status, collective labor, equal distribution, property sharing, and collective clan leaders were elected to manage public affairs and conduct internal rulings including legal disputes, and major matters would be decided by a council of clan elders composed of clan members or even a collective vote.
What a sincere, democratic and harmonious society this is~~~
Just like the days of tribal settlements on Earth.
But when some of the followers of the Kudugu false gods developed selfishness and ambition, and began to want to consolidate the wonderful power in their hands, and privately give them to their blood relatives, and pass them on to their children and grandchildren, forming a new stable feudal system and a privileged class.
The tribal leaders and nobles who previously controlled the affairs of the tribe and the shamans who mastered the rituals and conveyed the will of the ancestral spirits will form a new ruling group that relies on the so-called "bloodline" inheritance, and then oppress the original clan and the current people for a long time.
They do not need clan members to vote for elections, they choose their own successors from among their own heirs, they usurp the public property and means of production of all their clansmen for their own private property, and abandon all clan rights, including the right to national suffrage, of their clansmen.
In the name of the divine grant of royal power, he began to fabricate the nobility, legitimacy, and sacredness of his status, and took the life and death of all those with low status.
The nobles also no longer participated in menial manual labor, but were ruled by "labor" full of "wisdom" and "skill".
They exploited the income of their labor from the lower classes of the people in the name of taxation, which was the price of the kingdom's security, concentration of wealth, leadership and management of all public affairs, and rights and protection of the people.
The Karui people, who were accustomed to the traditional life of self-sufficient tribes, of course, felt that this was a pointless stupid thing, and even directly caused a protracted fire between the various tribes.
Unexpectedly, the form changed dramatically, and the small country established by several tribes that believed in the Kudugu pseudo-gods suddenly received a large number of foreign spell equipment and other military supplies, and simply held a large number of spell scrolls and spell-casting props on the battlefield - like firecrackers and firecrackers for the New Year, and sent lobbyists to buy and use all kinds of conspiracies and tricks to provoke the relationship between the various rebel tribes that were already suspicious because of the competition for hunting grounds, and then break and annex them one by one.
After destroying several tribes that opposed the establishment of the new kingdom, the Kudugu pseudo-god devoured the power of the ancestral spirits of the defeated tribes, absorbing the power of faith accumulated by the defeated ancestral spirits, and its divine power became more and more fierce and aggressive.
These "gods" born in primitive totem worship do not know how to filter the mixed consciousness connection of believers' prayers like a god with a formal priesthood, resulting in the consciousness of the totem spirits being filled with the fear of life, old age, sickness and death transmitted by believers when they pray, as well as the desire for things and mating.
Totem spirits, who are unable to think normally, can only be driven by instinct like simple animals, and most of them are either inclined to kill blood sacrifices or devour the same kind of natural spirits to gain greater and stronger power.
There were even greedy evil gods who demanded that entire tribes commit suicide and sacrifice their lives, but those tribes who agreed to such stupid conditions perished themselves, and even the same stupid evil spirits were rejected and sacrificed by other tribes and perished.
