Resistance has always been an extremely rare quality. Throughout human history, not many nations have this quality. At least in the West, it is extremely rare. In the entire history of the West, it seems that except for Spartacus in ancient Rome, 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. Dynasty changes are often due to peasant uprisings. I don’t remember where I saw such a 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 have the right to work. This can also be reflected in the myths and legends of both sides. The simplest comparison is that many heroes in ancient Chinese myths 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 demigods directly descended from gods and mortals. (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 is not dead, there are still more than forty people in his gang. This remains a huge threat to the village.
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 is simple. If you don't resist, there will be no death. Now that they have killed Kanan's group, Arthur and the others can easily walk away, but the people in the village still have to stay and face those bandits! Originally, the robbers were just robbing, but now...the nature has changed.
People in the village are also worried.
This was very difficult for Morgana to understand. There were hundreds of people in this village, of which only about fifty were men, and they were all strong laborers. (Under this level of productivity, no matter how good the physical fitness of the ancient Celts was, their average life span was not high, so there were very few elderly people and not many children, because they would not be able to feed more)
Why don't so many men resist? Even if there are only twenty or thirty people fighting hard, the robbers will throw the enemy away. After all, robbery is a business without capital, and robbers 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 brought relief to the people in the village.
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 guidance of someone.
But Will was still making sarcastic remarks. He thinks Arthur is just trying to get the villagers to play soldier games with him. If Arthur was really willing to help them, he could lead a large group of soldiers to wipe out the robbers instead of letting them fight with the robbers.
Will was even dissatisfied with his good friend. He thought Merlin had the ability to kill all the bandits alone, so why didn't he act? Why should the villagers resist? He can obviously get the job done, so why should he back down?
Merlin couldn't argue with that. But he insisted that Arthur was not playing some soldier game, he really wanted to help Eldo. 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 was helpless and powerless, he didn'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 and sleepless. He only has to carry a village now, but where is his father? Need to carry an entire kingdom on your back!
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 couldn't accept the negative mentality of the villagers, so she began to lobby the women. It must be said that Morgana had a very strong appeal, and the women were led by her, and they began to work under Morgana's command. In order to do what they can, they help polish weapons, make arrows, cook, and help the men clean up. In short, she does everything they should do and shouldn't do!
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, she still has a strong sense of distance from those women. How can a princess and a peasant woman be the same? But Gwen has no such concerns.
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 homes.
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, it was not difficult at all to boost morale.
It was also at this time that Arthur began to have a crush on Gwen, a strong and kind girl...
When we got here, only Will in the whole village still couldn't stand Arthur, and everyone else was willing to accept Arthur's leadership. (This part of the plot in the series was obviously promoting women's rights. I thought it was a bit ridiculous, so I deleted it directly. There is too much political correctness in this series. I didn't realize it before when I watched it. But now that I'm watching it again, I can see it. People’s brains hurt)
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 have developed to this point, the fate of those robbers is almost foreseeable. In fact, these bandits were nothing at all. Under the leadership of Arthur and Perino, the villagers used traps and their understanding of the terrain to catch the bandits off guard. Then four outstanding genuine knights made sharp knives, and a group of villagers It's really not difficult to get involved on the side, play support, and 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, when things got here, it basically had a happy ending. The robber died, the villagers were rescued, and Arthur and the others satisfied their righteous hearts.
But the problem is at the end.
King Odin of Cendrid, who originally refused to send troops, didn't know what was wrong. He suddenly sent his son Ariled to Eldor to prepare to suppress the bandits. In this way, they met Arthur's group who happened to defeat the robbers.
Everything changed from here.
