The atmosphere in the Blue Mountains was getting more and more strange. Not only did the dwarves notice it, but Chu Hao and the others also noticed it.
Yesterday, the dwarven nobles brought thousands of troops into the Blue Mountains. They had already broken through several villages on the outskirts of the Blue Mountains. Not even a single dwarf escaped from those villages. This was too unusual. After the current rulers of the Blue Mountains sent people to investigate, they found that those villages had been turned into scorched earth. All the dwarves who had the gold, wealth, and food of the deceased nobles were all executed as rebels. Moreover, unlike the nobles, they were all executed together with their women and children. It really felt like not even a blade of grass was left behind.
In fact, a considerable number of the dwarves who were executed didn't participate in the rebellion at all. They were only attracted by the slogan of equal distribution of wealth. When the dwarven nobles brought their troops here, they heard that the wealth belonged to the deceased nobles. They immediately said that they would return all the wealth and food, but they didn't expect the result to be like this. It could be said that they were the first batch of dwarves to taste the horror of the word "class enemy".
At noon today, after the dwarves who went to investigate the situation returned, the current rulers of the Blue Mountains invited Chu Hao and the others to the meeting hall. Although Zhang Heng and Aoqi guessed that the dwarves wanted to ask them what to do next, Chu Hao, who knew the ugliness of human nature, only showed a mocking smile.
Sure enough, when the crowd arrived at the meeting hall, none of the current dwarven elders were talking to Chu Hao and the others. Furthermore, there were hundreds of dwarven guards around them, as if they had surrounded Chu Hao and the others. When the crowd arrived, the entire meeting hall was extremely quiet. Those newly appointed dwarven elders were all sitting and waiting with solemn expressions. In fact, it wasn't just them. Many well-informed dwarven civilians had also appeared at the entrance of the meeting hall, as if they were waiting for something.
Time passed little by little. In the Cycle Team, Zhang Heng and the others were already full of anger. They were almost under house arrest for a few days, and now they were trapped here like prisoners. To be honest, it was already good enough that they didn't explode on the spot, and this was also because of Chu Hao's arrangement. But as time passed, their anger became more and more intense. Even Zhang Heng couldn't help but curse a few times.
The surrounding dwarven guards seemed to have heard Zhang Heng's curse. A few dwarven guards couldn't help but take a few steps towards the group, but they seemed to have scruples about something and finally stopped. The new dwarven elders who were closer to the group looked at them with anger in their eyes, but didn't say anything.
Zhang Heng finally couldn't help but say to Chu Hao, "Chu Hao, what are you trying to do? You didn't do anything. Are we just going to stand here? Don't you see what those dwarves are waiting for? They're definitely waiting for those dwarven nobles. They're going to use us as scapegoats! "
Some of the dwarven guards and elders around them blushed a little when they heard this, but there were also some thick-skinned dwarves who shouted in a deep voice, "If it weren't for your lies, how could there be internal strife among us Blue Mountain Dwarves? Everything was caused by you. If you're not the main culprit, then who is? "
Zhang Heng was angry and was about to say something, but Chu Hao shook his head and stopped him from continuing. However, Chu Hao still didn't say anything and continued to stand there as if nothing had happened. On the contrary, Xi Kong, who wasn't far from Zhang Heng, said with a calm appearance, "Let's see Chu Hao's arrangement. If you're really not satisfied in the end, you can just use force to break through and slaughter everyone here."
Xi Kong used her true inner force to condense her voice into a line. The dwarves around her could not hear her, but her words were full of blood and murderous intent. Even Zhang Heng, who was angry, shivered when he heard it. This seemingly elegant classical beauty had such a big murderous intent, ah.
While everyone was still talking, there was suddenly a commotion outside the council hall. Those current dwarven elders all had an excited expression on their faces. It was unknown whether they were sad or happy, but they were still reserved. They seemed to have ordered some dwarven guards to go outside and investigate. However, after a while, these dwarven guards pulled in several dwarven corpses from outside. They were already badly mutilated. These dwarves even had their heads chopped off. Judging from their clothes, one of them was actually a current dwarf elder.
Everyone's face turned ashen. The dwarven elders sitting on the council chairs were also discussing. One of the dwarven elders roared, "What's going on!? We didn't send an army, they were just there to negotiate! Why were they also killed!? "
Accompanying these dwarves was a dwarf guard covered in blood. He seemed to have been tortured. At this moment, he was weakly lying on the ground and screaming, "They said that they don't want any prisoners. Civilians, craftsmen, elders, they don't want any of them. They said that anyone who attacked the nobles is considered a rebellion, a rebellion that has betrayed the nobles' bloodline! They want us to hand over all the wealth, food, land, and jobs of the dwarves. Not only these humans, but also all the dwarves who participated in the rebellion! They are already on the way, thousands of troops, they are already coming! "
This dwarf's voice was very loud. Although he seemed to be on the verge of death, his words were heard by almost everyone in the dwarven hall, including many civilians outside the door. After these words, many people's faces changed again and again. Some of the more cowardly ones even turned around and wanted to escape. Many people were discussing and shouting, and the whole hall was suddenly in chaos.
Everything that had happened was just as Chu Hao had predicted. Firstly, it was the absolute nature of the class enemies. Perhaps in a war between aristocrats, they could make peace because of their interests. However, in a war between classes, there was absolutely no interest that could make peace. This was determined by their natural position. If it was in a stable pyramid structure, there would only be bullying and being bullied between classes. Even if there was a riot, it was just another pyramid structure. However, it was different in the early days of the Heaven Party on Earth. What it meant was … that it could only be a fight to the death!
Suddenly, one of the dwarven elders seemed to be unwilling. He roared at Chu Hao and the others, "It's all because of you! It's all because of you that it became like this! Kill them! Kill these humans! They made us rebels, they made us betray Azure Mountain, it's them! Kill them all! Hand over their corpses, and the nobles will be appeased! Kill them all! "
The dwarves' temperament had always been irritable and straightforward. Many of them were very tempted after hearing that. Hundreds of dwarven guards also surrounded them. It seemed like they were about to take action. Suddenly, Chu Hao pointed at the dwarven elder who roared just now and shouted loudly, "It's him. He's the main culprit who betrayed you! He colluded with those nobles, made you surrender, and then handed over the wealth of the nobles among you. Those who attacked the nobles, and he, with the support of those nobles, could become the new elder, the new nobles, don't you understand!? He wanted to use all of you and our lives to buy a rich future for me! He betrayed us! "
The civilians who were talking were suddenly shocked, and even some of the dwarven guards hesitated. However, some of the dwarven guards still closed in on Chu Hao and the others. At this time, the dwarf elder who was pointed at roared furiously, "Who did I betray! I'm right here! I'm also on the list of nobles to be slaughtered, who did I betray! Don't tell me you want to mislead the crowd with your lies again!? What evidence do you have to say that I betrayed Azure Mountain!? "
The few dwarven elders who were smart already knew that things were bad. They didn't even have time to say anything before Chu Hao shouted first, "The evidence is in your house! It's in the house of the original nobles that you've occupied! I'm standing right here, I'm not going anywhere. Everyone, everyone standing at the door of the meeting hall, and the loyal dwarven guards, I'm right here! If I'm lying, as long as you can't find any evidence in this dwarf elder's house, killing me will only take a moment. I'm not going anywhere, don't you want to find the traitor who betrayed you!? It's this person in front of you, you just need to go to his house and you'll find the evidence! "
Finally, the dwarf elder knew what Chu Hao was going to do. He roared crazily, "No, there's nothing in my house, he's trying to confuse people, kill him, I order you in the name of an elder, kill him, kill him!"
But this time, except for a few dwarven guards, no one approached Chu Hao and the others. Some dwarven guards even ran out of the meeting hall, and many civilians outside the meeting hall also ran towards the dwarf elder's house. In just a few minutes, the civilians and dwarven guards threw down pieces of gold, piles of gems, and bags of food in front of the dwarf elder. It was a wealth that was far more than the average dwarf's wealth. Seeing all this, the dwarf elder's face turned ashen.
Chu Hao didn't stop and continued to roar, "Not just this dwarf, there's him, and him, and him, there's countless evidence in their houses! Go find them, they're the traitors of Blue Mountain! "
It was as if there was a flame burning in the hearts of the dwarves. They no longer cared about the so-called order. They frantically dug out enough wealth from the homes of these new dwarven elders. Ten days ago, these dwarves were just ordinary dwarves like them. They didn't have any surplus food, and they were all inferior people. But in just ten days, they had become like this. Every dwarf present was mad, and they couldn't wait to tear these elders apart.
They didn't worry about scarcity, they only worried about inequality, that's all.
If it was the dwarven nobles, the commoners could still use the excuse that they were nobles and that they were commoners to numb themselves. However, these newly appointed dwarven elders had actually forgotten one thing: they were only dwarves who had been slightly promoted from commoners. At this time, they were richer than their former peers, and it was obvious that this wealth was obtained through their own power. It was fine if they didn't make things clear, but once they did, what awaited them would be more than just anger.
No one knew who took the lead, but countless dwarves roared and besieged this group of new dwarven elders, directly tearing them to pieces. And the so-called reason why they betrayed Blue Mountain was just a reason for these dwarves. Now, they were afraid, they were afraid that they might be killed by the nobles at any time, and the elders they trusted were actually so rich. They had already let out all their emotions at this moment …
"I've always been curious!"
At this moment, Chu Hao's voice rang in the ears of countless angry civilians.
"This gold, these jewels, these grains, and even the entire Blue Mountain, this land, these mines, these houses, it was all built by you. For example, you are a miner, you are a farmer, you are a craftsman, you are a tinker, you are a weaponsmith … It was you who created this wealth. Can any of you tell me, who has seen any noble or elder who dug into the mines like you, who farmed like you, who used iron to forge weapons and armor like you? Can any of you give me an example!?"
Chu Hao stood at the highest point of the meeting hall, he stood on the chairman's chair and roared at all the dwarves, "Who can tell me!? Why is it that you who work hard every day and night have to endure hunger, wear ragged clothes, and don't even have the right to a small piece of gold!? And those nobles who eat well, wear well, never work, and even have countless riches at home, they can own the entire Blue Mountain, and at this moment, even if you take out all your wealth, they still want to kill you!? "
"Who can tell me, why!!!"
