Chapter 189: After the Destruction 2
The site chosen by the prince for revival was the capital, where a large number of people, livestock, animals and plants gathered, that is, the diamonds buried here were actually transformed by the lives that had lived here before.
The prince, the new king, should be said to be, immediately ordered that the diamonds should be forbidden, and that the offender would be punished with death.
It is very likely that these diamonds were made by their own compatriots, and when they think of this, not to mention the king, even other citizens are not in the mood to mine them. They turned in the excavated diamonds and kept them.
At the same time, the appearance of these diamonds is not a good thing. The new king felt that this represented a catastrophe......
Sure enough, the news that there were diamonds buried in the country spread quickly.
Suddenly, all the surrounding countries sent troops into the country for a variety of reasons—all for the same purpose: to mine diamonds.
The king, having lost all his armies, was powerless to resist the invaders, and could only allow them to mine the diamonds that his former compatriots had turned into diamonds. The king tried to tell them that "diamonds may have been made of humans", but none of them stopped their shovels. The situation is getting worse and worse, and the army, which was originally only mining in the border areas, has gradually encroached on the capital.
Finally, the darkest scene came—the enemy army, red-eyed for the sake of diamonds, turned its guns on the civilian people of the capital as they prepared to rebuild. They tried to occupy the capital and exploit all the diamond mines there.
The king was faced with a difficult choice: should he negotiate a humiliating peace and let the enemy exploit the minerals, or should he rise up and fight to the death against the invaders with the tools in his hands?
The king, who was in agony and worried, remembered the country that had been destroyed by the bombardment of magic. Sometimes, backbone can only bring death, and only by living can we rebuild the country and restore its former glory......
So the king agreed to the terms of the peace - all men, searched by the enemy's army, left the capital without dignity and, after some looting, returned to their land.
The king's decision was eventually implemented. The invaders had no sympathy - they knew that the diamonds could have been made by man, but did that prevent them from mining? No.
The king will always remember what the commander said to himself—why did you leave without a backbone, why didn't you stay here and turn into diamonds together?"
Yes, the commander wanted to provoke the king so that he would rebel against him, so that he would have a reason to kill them all. There would still be some casualties if he killed so many people for no reason, and he needed a reason—however, the respectful king didn't do that. He threw away all dignity just to survive.
After the sack, the newly built capital was once again poor and white. Outside the capital, the invaders would even attack each other for the diamonds - of course, since the capital had already been sacked once, no army was willing to waste its strength on worthless targets, and peace was found there, like the eye of the typhoon.
"Until now, the capital of that country has been relatively stable and revival. Han Jiang said, "I quite admire that prince." ”
"Indeed...... It's amazing. Phantom Dream also nodded and said, "However, have the surface people been distorted to that extent......?
Can the diamonds that people turn into can be sold for money with peace of mind......
