Chapter 116: We Have a Traitor (3/4)
[A total of 30,000 rewards for the unique phantom moon]
The stable and powerful countries in the south all have a system of primogeniture, and the eldest son is the undoubted heir when he reaches adulthood, and the other brothers have to find another way.
The Northlands, where the Silver Hammer family is located, are different!
It is close to the plateau where barbarians have lived for generations, and it faces barbarian invasion every year, so it is even more turbulent, and every year new forces are created, and the old ones are destroyed.
The primogeniture system has no soil to take root at all. What is practiced here is that the capable are on the top, and the strong win.
In the case of Eve's brother and uncle, each of them will manage a city when they become adults, and then judge their abilities based on their political achievements.
This is also the reason why Eve's eldest brother was abolished with a word, and the eldest son is not a fart here.
At this time, sitting opposite Eve were not idlers who only enjoyed honor and could not meddle in power, but real "princes".
Although Eve was ordered to turn the tide in danger, it was not in accordance with the procedure after all. Moreover, she has a fatal disadvantage - blood!
An elder of the family crossed his arms and said with a proud expression: "According to the established strategy of the family, after seizing a foothold at the entrance of the plateau, build a city on the spot, build a defense along the mountains, and then pry the entire civilized world north. β
The old man next to him immediately answered: "Yes! Once we have a foothold, the countries of the civilized world will be like bears that smell honey, and they will take advantage of the passage into the plateau and continue to encroach on the territory of the barbarians. β
"At that time, millions of armies and supplies will move from our Silver Hammer Collar. The spoils of the plateau will also be lost to the nations through the silver hammer. The surplus wealth precipitated in the south and the north is enough for us to worry about it for generations. β
A family elder fought feverishly, "The Silver Hammer Leader has a key position and a special status, and no country dares to annex and occupy us, so our Silver Hammer family will be able to fight left and right, and get benefits between the nations." β
"At that time, we will be the Silver Hammer Country!" Several family elders said in unison.
This is the supreme pursuit of the Silver Hammer family, and it is for this purpose that their ancestors will come here from the south, take root for three generations, and plan step by step.
The Silver Hammer Family! Silver Hammer Lord! Silverhammer Kingdom! That's what three generations have been working so hard for!
"We will not allow peace with the barbarians! Between the two races, there is only war, and life and death! β
"Don't worry about your father's safety, he has died in battle, and it is his glory to sacrifice for the family!"
"Do you really want to give the silver hammer collar as a dowry to the barbarians in exchange for the position of a queen?"
Eve didn't explain, instead raised the silver hammer.
"I'm the head of the house! A legitimate head of the family who is unanimously recognized by all the elders! β
"Then it will be impeached and annulled in accordance with the family law!"
A few family elders blurted out - this is also the power of the family elders, but this right is rarely used passively, and even if it is used, it is basically impossible to succeed, and those who can ascend to the position of the head of the family are definitely not waste wood.
Eve is not a waste of wood, but she has a weaker shortcoming than a waste of wood.
"You're just an illegitimate wild seed! He is not qualified to inherit the position of head of the family at all. β
"You are now surrendering the position of head of the house, and you can still retain your dignity. You are the hero of the family, and we will not embarrass you. β
Eve was silent for a few seconds, taking in the expressions of the people in the meeting.
"Then let's start voting!"
Eve placed the silver hammer on the table in front of her, her fingers propped up on the table, and leaned forward to look at the elders.
"Those who are in favor of abolishing me can get up and leave."
β¦β¦
Xi Tong found that his psychological quality was getting stronger and stronger.
The last time I beat Zhao Dachuan, I still had a slight discomfort in my stomach, but this time I saw eight people being beheaded and burned into ashes, but my heart was surprisingly calm, and I even had the leisure to watch the art of burning.
Of the eight elders who opposed Eve, some walked five steps, some took seven steps, and some took four steps and were too frightened to move.
Then, they all died.
Xi Tong couldn't imagine that those little kids were so ferocious, so ruthless, and so skillful.
With incomparable tacit understanding, control, killing, incineration, one-stop service, killing and buriing.
When the eight heads lined up at the conference table, the remaining five elders unanimously supported world peace and responded to the great unity of the people of the world.
It's not that they are cowardly, but they usually don't have much right to speak, and they don't have much decisive power in the family at all.
Salt, wine, ordnance and other money-based businesses can't fall into their hands, and whoever is in charge of the house can't affect their interests, which are equal to zero, and they only take a stand after their brains are pumped.
What's more, there are already eight negative votes, is there any difference between them expressing their stance and not expressing their position with these five votes?
Well, there is still a difference, a difference between life and death.
After a few seconds of silence for the eight heads, the five family elders immediately became excited, because there was a large power vacuum in the family, and their status could be further advanced, and by the way, they could also promote a group of nephews.
Eve was an illegitimate daughter with no roots in the family, and the coup d'Γ©tat relied on only five playmates, and it was impossible for the six of them to manage the Silver Hammer Collar well.
As a result, the impeachment was dismissed, and Eve remained at the helm of the Silver Hammer with 100% support.
After Eve finished assigning the task, she immediately sent the five family elders out. In the conference room, only six young men in hooded robes remained, and eight dead heads.
Eve slowly put on her hood, her face disappearing into darkness.
Then, she slowly raised her head, as if looking up at the gods in the clouds.
Hands raised above their foreheads like a raging flame.
"I ask you, what is God's control over the world?"
The other five also put on their hoods together, bowed their heads slightly, and crossed their hands against their chests.
"The fire of the pure world! The Flame of Destruction! β
Eve lowered her head, clasped her palms together, and pressed the tip of her middle finger against her forehead.
"I ask you, with what does God rule over all beings?"
"Purify the flesh! Wash the soul! β
Eve looked straight ahead and stood with her hands in her hands.
"I ask you, what does God use to sustain the law?"
"Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish!"
Eve nodded, "Burn the heretic!" β
All five replied at the same time: "Burn the infidels!" β
"Take these things out, I'm sick to death."
"Huh...... Captain, at this time, you would say, 'Burn the heterosexual'. β
Someone truthfully said: "We have a traitor!" β
Eve shook her head, her voice not loud, but unusually firm.
"Even if we are covered in blood and go to hell, we still practice the fate of punishing evil and eliminating evil. I will follow God's will and spread this spark to every corner of the continent. β
"The barbarians will help us smash this rotten smash, our fire will be sown faster, burn more vigorously, and finally spark the prairie and raise the fire to the sky!"
"We will work with the barbarians! But just collaboration! β
Eve walked out of the room, the sun shining on her face, she turned to look at her five companions, "Burn the straight...... Oh no, burn all lovers! β
Xi Tong is speechless, you are calculating Tamil in front of me, is it really good to do this?
