087 On the theme of resistance
Char resisted the urge to blurt out - obedience here has two interpretations, one is obedience to the spider queen, and the other is obedience to oneself. But whatever the meaning is, when explicitly stated, it can be counterproductive.
Obedience to oneself will cause hostility and backlash from the housemothers, and make oneself the target of the public, which is invisibly equivalent to depriving the female patriarchs of power, and then the policies they wish to implement will inevitably undergo more tribulations.
Obeying the spider queen is equivalent to highlighting the status of the goddess in front of the drows, and the effect of this is also not conducive to the control of the royal power. Once at some point in the future, Rose and Char become enemies, the "Divine Messenger" waistcoat will lose any effect, and the result can only be a wedding dress for the spider queen.
Calm returned to the field, and the first family, the Barcelo housewife, kept their mouths shut, with her as a reference example, the other patriarchs naturally would not touch the mildew of the black-haired man.
Char no longer paid attention to the hostesses, but turned around and looked at the drow in different attire in the audience, calmly thinking about what he should say to the guys below.
There was an urgent matter at the moment - the loyalty of the Drow soldiers summoned in front of him, and Char thought that it was all a problem.
The fate of the Drow family is closely related to the individual, even if the strict hierarchical distinction is cruel and ruthless, the quality of life is far behind, and even if the people below have more grievances and complaints, at least when the family encounters a crisis, they will stand up - the members of the dilapidated family often have a worse life, which is the commonality of their thinking, but this also leads to the weakening of the concept of the state.
First there is a home, and then there is a country. This may have something to do with the law of Drow's development, according to High Priest Secylis, Drow has historically played more of an aggressor's role, and in addition to expanding its territory, it is more of an emotional conflict.
From time to time, the Drow start foreign wars, but there are few threats from the outside, which may have something to do with the location of the land - the enemies on the surface seem to have little interest in taking over the underworld.
So much so that in the depths of their minds, they believe that there are only internal troubles and no external worries, and this concept has accompanied generations of drow, and the belief of the queen has strengthened their egoism even more.
The army under this concept and system does not even have cohesion, so how can we talk about the so-called combat effectiveness?
Char is lazy, and transforming the national consciousness is a long-term project, if it is not related to his own safety and the realization of his goals, how can he be willing to touch such a thankless task?
Gandhi once said that the culture of the country is embedded in the hearts and souls of the people. According to the great man, Char couldn't help but laugh at himself - maybe what he was doing could be called a soul project?
Putting an idea into practice doesn't happen overnight, it takes a process, however, without action, an idea can only be an idea.
If Rose's power is a sword that restrains Drow's behavior, then ethnic hatred is the best glue that binds people's hearts together - Char always has a feeling that he will go further and further down the path of terrorism.
"Patriarchs, priests, and valiant warriors who have been drafted. ”
"This Gulrola has stood in this subterranean world for thousands of years, under the patronage of the great and just Goddess Rose. ”
"To forget history is to betray the past, ask yourself, how many people still remember the hatred and righteousness of ancient times?"
"I don't know what you guys learned in your textbooks as kids, oh I forgot, most of you can't even read words. The dark-haired man taunted the soldiers in the audience, and he turned back and forgot about the mistresses behind him, and the reproachful look in them was undisguised.
"Drow, the best race in the world?" Char continued to lash out as he set off the map cannon, "Some people taste the best red wine from Ansu, while others can't even eat a bite of rye bread. ”
"When you risk your lives and give away what you have won with great difficulty, just because of someone else's words. ”
"When you saddle up for your family,"
He suddenly closed his mouth and watched the reaction of the soldiers, no one spoke on the surface, and the eyes that stared straight at him let Char know that what he said still had some effect.
Char saw a familiar gaze in the group looking at him - Trist, the guy who was supposed to die, under his protection, was now standing at the front of the group.
This must have been Zorn's arrangement, and Char nodded slightly at the young Drow.
Even if they don't see it with their own eyes, history is always strikingly similar, and where hierarchies are so pronounced, often accompanied by poverty and bane, the people in power never seem to know that, as they accumulate over time, this will eventually become the basis of energy against tyranny.
All I have to do is add fuel to the fire.
Since they have made a public appearance as a "divine messenger", it is always a shame not to dig a pit for the spider queen and the main mothers. He continued to rub salt on the drow's wounds, "There are so many unfair things in the world, even in my hometown. ”
"If it were me, a place that could not even guarantee the foundation of life, it would naturally be impossible to get my allegiance. ”
"In the distant past, Drow was not called Drow, but along with those pointy-eared people, he was collectively called Elves. The surface world is supposed to be ours, but the damned elves have driven you out of your tribe, or even exterminated them, forcing you into this hellish land where the sky never sees. I think that when you were born, you were constantly instilled with this concept from a young age, right?"
"Another millennium has passed, and Gulrola is still like this, except to dig deeper and deeper into the ground, even if it is only a glance, have you really seen the thing called the sun?"
"What is holding you back from perseverance, what is it that blinds you to the truth?"
"Addicted to fighting, even if you can get a piece of bread for your loved ones to fill your stomach?"
"When the blade of your sword is pointed at your own people, have you ever thought that maybe the next time someone else's blade cuts off your own head?"
When social contradictions intensify to the point of irreconcilability, a change is imperative. There are usually two states of such change, one is top-down, where the order-maker initiates the change in structural rules, and the bottom-up, which is naturally dominated by non-profiteers at the bottom of the pyramid, but for the top, it will be a great disaster.
What Char needs to do most at the moment is to plant a seed called "resistance" in the hearts of the Drow soldiers at the bottom, accelerate the differentiation between the upper and lower classes, and become the only one on the pyramid.
