Chapter Seventy-Six: A Heavy Meeting
"Yes, we're all old, and you're the only one in the next generation who can take over our responsibilities, so what if you're so impulsive—" The yellow-haired old man said with a heavy slap on the armrest of his seat, and said with a tone of hatred that iron is not steel. As she spoke, she also subconsciously glanced at the young man standing beside her. As if sensing the old man's gaze, the young man straightened his chest, but the expression on his face became more respectful.
After such a heavy hat, the middle-aged man didn't know how to answer, so he could only continue to sit there in silence, and the expression on his face seemed to be a little cloudy. At this time, another old man continued: "Child, we all know very well that because your family settled on the Yakshu Pagoda, almost all the members of the entire family died in the mass extinction caused by Sagincha, and only the two ancestors of your clan survived by staying in the Pagoda for special reasons. Since then, an unforgettable hatred has been established between your entire family and Sagincha. But you don't want to think about which of our families here was not destroyed by Sagincha back then, and who doesn't want to use huge power to defeat them directly. But as leaders, we can't be carried away by this hatred, you have to understand that we are far from being strong at the moment, and this kind of thinking can be thought about in our heads, and we must not put it into practice. ”
"But—" The middle-aged man finally couldn't help but speak.
"Nothing good but." The yellow-haired old man let out a long sigh, "I know why you're so excited right now, because your eldest son is also one of the combatants involved in this massive attack, and even his name has been added to the list of missing persons. But so what? Do you want to continue your attacks on Sakincha in order to get revenge or to get your son back? You don't think about it, but it's not because you rashly organized a large-scale attack on Sakincha that your eldest son is in the situation he is in now. You know, because of your bad decision, in addition to your eldest son, hundreds of people in all of our Arks combined died at the hands of Sagincha in this attack. ”
She slapped the armrest hard, and her tone became a lot heavier, "If you want to say that this is the first time, it can be explained by the misestimation of Sakincha's strength, we won't blame you, just buy a lesson." But after a failure, you have not learned your lesson, and you insist on continuing to attack the other party? Last time it was hundreds, and how many will it be next time? If we go on again and again, how many hundreds of people do we have enough for you to squander? You've disappointed us. ”
"Don't you say?" The thin old man continued, "In order to find your son, are you going to send more people's children into the tiger's mouth?" ”
This sentence was a bit of a curse, and the middle-aged man immediately retorted: "No, I'm not for my son-"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by another old man, "Whether it's for your son or not, our next actions must be suspended." Then he said to the other old men, "All right, several, I think that we have already said everything we should and should not have said, so let Mimiros think about it for himself." After all, this bend still has to be turned by himself. After saying this, he said to Mimiros again, "You better listen to our advice, and let go of the hatred in your heart for the time being." With that, the old man gave Mimiroth a deep look, and then the screen he was on went dark.
Subsequently, the yellow-haired old man, the thin old man, and another unknown old man all ended their respective communications. Only the round-faced old man remained on the screen, staring at the middle-aged man sitting silently in his seat for a few seconds, and he couldn't help but speak: "Mimiros, judging from this incident, I think you still know too little about Sargincha. It is recommended that you go to the database to see the information handed down by the ancestors and related to them. That way, you may not be as impulsive as you used to make decisions about Sakincha in the future. ”
After a moment's hesitation, he continued: "To be honest, when you contacted me and wanted me to join forces with you to attack Sakincha, I wanted to refuse, but several other people thought it was a good opportunity. Of course, they are not referring to a good opportunity to attack, but a good opportunity for you, your peers, and the next generation of young people to understand the power of Sakincha. After all, Sagincha has disappeared more than six hundred copa. Even we haven't seen them in person for generations, and even the name Sakincha has become almost legendary. There are even signs of contempt for them among the young people, some believe that such a powerful civilization cannot exist, and some even think that Sakincha does not exist at all, and that it is only a means we have taken to restrict them from leaving the Ark. I'm afraid - you have similar thoughts. ”
"I-"
"I have to say that this time Sakincha appeared at the right time. And, after a period of observation, we found that this time they did not show the same extreme aggression as they did when they appeared. So, after discussion, we decided to cooperate with your actions. Of course, we had anticipated the final defeat long before the action. As it turned out, our guess was not wrong. Otherwise, how do you think we could have held a meeting calmly the day after our failure? ”
Then, the old man changed his tone and said earnestly: "Although several of us are also saddened by the sacrifices of those young people, their sacrifices are worth it. Now that all the disdainful remarks about Sagincha in my ark have disappeared after the news of the defeat, I think the same should be true for them. Of course, it would be better if you could understand our painstaking efforts. As they said before, you are the most capable of the next generation, and when all of us are gone, I am afraid that you are the only one who can lead our civilization forward. So we want to use this incident to remind you that our civilization has been able to survive from the mass extinction and slowly recover to the present, never relying on any impulsive or radical decision, but only one word - stability. You have seen the consequences of impulsiveness, and it will only be a blow to our civilization that is still fragile. ”
Speaking of this, the old man sighed, "We old men have wanted to tell you these words for a long time, but considering that you have never experienced a particularly big setback before, I am afraid it is useless to say it, and it should be the most appropriate time to say it." Next, I hope you will be able to calm down and think about what I have said. After saying this, he did not continue to speak, but looked at Mimiros quietly for a moment, and then ended the communication.
As all the images on the screen disappeared completely, the room where Mimiros was located suddenly fell into darkness, except for a dim lamp still emitting its own light. In this dim environment, Mimiros fell into deep thought......
