Chapter 400 Close
"Loyalty?" I took a few steps forward, a sarcastic sneer in my eyes: "What exactly is loyalty to you?" ”
Of course, they can't answer this question.
"Then I'll answer for you." I paced back and forth, and said generously:
"When we talk about loyalty, is it loyalty to some people, a certain bloodline, a certain organization, a certain place, or a certain object?
Actually, those are all appearances.
What we are loyal to is the culture – the culture that we identify with.
Warriors fought bloody battles on the frontier, but did they only protect the land where some birds don't?
No, they protect the borders of our culture.
We are loyal to our home because we identify with the culture of our homeland.
We are loyal to our country because we identify with the culture of our country.
Therefore, if a family, an organization, or a gang does not have its own culture, it is difficult to talk about loyalty, and eventually becomes a group that is maintained by interests, and when there are benefits, it can still maintain unity, and once it encounters danger, it will fall apart.
So, the question is - what kind of culture does our Eagle Claw Gate follow?
The answer is: no.
Even the Eagle Claw King, the master of one sect, only cares about his own cultivation, and the people below can even imagine - what keeps the Eagle Claw Gate running, in addition to some personal friendships accumulated over the years, is left with a cold system and salary.
Loyalty brings stability, while ambition only leads to turmoil.
Therefore, when the Talon King dies, the last straw that weighs on your hearts is pulled away, and the disintegration of the Talon Gate is inevitable.
But is this situation really good for you?
If it becomes a piece of scattered sand, it will only be broken by external forces one by one, and in the end it will still become a vassal of a powerful force.
If you have a strong culture, it's a different story.
As long as everyone has the same cultural philosophy, even if there is a fight due to different interests, it will eventually merge into a new whole.
No matter how strong an external power is, it is not terrible - history has shown countless times that a strong military can only lead to a temporary occupation, but a strong civilization can form a permanent fusion...... Humanity has progressed as a result.
So, where does a strong civilization (culture) come from?
First of all, of course, it is inherited from the ancestors.
But the culture that only understands inheritance, not progress, has long been washed away by time - the culture that stands today, carefully confirmed, must be different from a thousand years ago, a hundred years ago, or even ten years ago.
Therefore, we must not only inherit, but also progress, but also integrate, and learn from each other's strengths.
Think about those foreigners, who are complacent and refuse to change, and as a result, they will become vassals of our ninety-nine states?
You must know that these ninety-nine states are not naturally generated, but gradually merged after countless bloody battles and exchanges.
But we can't just look at the wider world because of our own vastness......
Ahem, it's far away.
The point is that we should re-erect our own cultural flag, and - there are ready-made! ”
With that, I opened a silk book and showed it around.
Eagle's Creed (revised).
First, the abundant feathers of the eagle, soaring into the sky, soaring thousands of miles.
Second, the eagle's far-sighted vision, distinguishing between right and wrong, and looking at the true and false.
Third, the sharp claws of the eagle, grabbing cattle and sheep, and fighting foxes and rabbits.
Third, the eagle's strong beak is both homesick and lonely.
Next to each entry, there is a dense small print gaze, which will not be detailed here due to the length of the article.
"Relying on this piece of rotten paper, you want to turn the tables?" Li Donglai sneered.
"Don't you think there are far more than two or three hundred people lying in ambush outside?" I shrugged my shoulders and said, "It's clear that everyone agrees with this creed and is willing to work together for a new Talon culture to re-enshrine the Talon Gate!" ”
In the encirclement, a whisper sounded.
The faces of several former hall masters were ugly.
Of course......
How could it be so simple!
The fact is that Li Cang was put down by my flying knife that day, and after the killer and I left and all the eyeliner in the ambush was removed, Zheng Ze came out of the secret room and persuaded Li Cang by various methods to let him return to our camp.
Then, with Li Cang as the center, first gather those guys who are unwilling to join a certain camp and choose to get out of the gang alone, or form a small group on their own, and then dig out the known inside secrets and try to persuade them one by one.
Know it with righteousness, lure it with profit, and force it with force.
Coupled with Zheng Ze's appeal of the orthodox bloodline of the Eagle Claw Gate, the recapture of the old department was carried out quite smoothly.
Naturally, during the period, it is inevitable that all kinds of gray curtains will fall, and blood will be splashed on the remnants of the wall - what should be sealed, resolutely not soft, everything is based on concealment and low-key.
In the past few days (at that time, Liao Zhongqing and I were nesting in the villa), Zheng Ze had successfully gathered more than 2,000 people, most of whom were low-level cultivators.
At the same time, the test and screening of the more than 200 people assigned to the secret nest and dark building gang in various places was also completed.
A number of reliable low-level leaders are in hand.
The soldiers and generals were combined, and the new organization gradually became large.
Although, compared to the former Eagle Claw Gate, more than 2,000 people are really insignificant.
But a spark is enough to start a prairie fire.
At this time, another force appeared - the Wu Clan.
The Wizard King Skin knows very well that instead of being vassal to a powerful force, it is better to join hands with me to rise from the weak, and I will be able to reap greater benefits.
The Wu clan contributed money and efforts to rearrange this five-ghost secret cave.
What is the purpose of spending a lot of manpower and material resources?
Some people may think that it is to lure out the people of the first five halls so that they can be caught in a net.
But I always feel that even if the first five classes are not fooled, as long as I can dig out the shadows lurking around me here, everything will be worth the ticket price.
Just because of Liao Zhongqing, any one of them may have a subversive impact!
Oh, and you Dongguang is an exception.
So I left You Dongguang to the end, but I didn't expect that this guy still had such a mental journey......
Memories are over.
So, how will Li Donglai and them respond?
"Hahaha." Li Donglai suddenly burst into a series of laughter, "Do you think it's enough to have more people?" I've already seen that your ambushes are all small minions, and they can't be compared with the elites on our side, once the fight starts, you will still be dead! ”
"Laugh, laugh." A cold snort shook out of the air, "Even if you laugh your teeth out, you can't hide the fear in your kid's heart." ”
Prosperous...... Prosperous......
The vault of the stone hall slowly retracted.
Finally, the final character of the scene appears.
Tu Anbang!
He and dozens of Xuanyi guards half-crouched behind the newly raised mechanism wall, and beside him, stood the Wizard King Pi, the Great Wizard Duo, the Great Wizard Bu, and more than thirty wizards.
In their hands, these people all hold a black, thick rod!
