17- I'm done

Babel's silence was taken as a tacit acquiescence.

Rules cannot be easily broken.

First, it maintains the interests of the upper echelons, who hold the power, and naturally will not allow people to violate their power.

Second, once there is a crack in the rules, there will be people who follow in the footsteps of their predecessors and do the same thing.

There is one exception to this kind of thing, and the rest of the exceptions will follow.

And when there are more people doing it, the rules will naturally lose their binding force.

"Of course we all love power, but we can't do anything for it."

"Because what we can do, others can do too."

"Today, I killed an elder in order to ascend to the throne, so if others want to ascend to the throne, of course he will consider the same means."

Rama's words are like that of a saint: "The son kills his father, his brother kills his brother, and his wife kills his husband······ In this way, the Horde was ruined. ”

The elders were very empathetic, and at the same time, it was very difficult to suppress the ridicule at the corners of their mouths.

And that's true.

But when you are a person who does things, you don't seem to think about this truth at all.

After the rules of inheritance are broken, once the people below want to ascend to the top, it is difficult for them to think about what to contribute to the tribe and then step up step by step.

They will only consider the simplest and the one that has already been walked out.

Use power to seize.

It's easy for the idea to come up, but it's hard to push it down.

But many people do not have this kind of power, and actions without power and without knowing it will only bring trouble to the tribe.

When the tribe is in trouble, foreign enemies will naturally take advantage of the situation to invade and directly destroy the Tanit tribe as an enemy.

The elders all acknowledged this.

But it should not come out of Rama's mouth.

He was quite like a person when he reasoned with himself, but everyone saw that this person was the first to do it.

"That's the most conventional thing, Mother."

Rama lifted Babel up with a sincere expression, "So, do you know your mistake?" ”

"Breaking the rules of an entire lineage for one's own selfish desires will bring great trouble to the tribe."

"Putting personal desires above the tribe is the wrong direction."

Babel pulled an ugly smile, "What about you, Rama. ”

Rama calmly replied, "I was wrong too. ”

"If I succeed, I will lead the tribe to reign again in the sand and build a new royal city in the desert."

"Suppose I defeat the rule of the Akademiya and turn the rainforest into a part of the sand sea, and the sand sea is not part of the rainforest."

"Then in a thousand years, people will sing the praises of my name as holy, deify all my deeds, and wear the crown of justice and justice."

"But I know for myself that the wrong thing doesn't become right because of one person."

"In the same way, I will not stop my actions just because the reason is wrong."

He only said that he did something wrong, but he did not say that he would fail, because doing one thing wrong does not mean that he will mess up the whole thing.

And Rama believes that he can do it well.

Sixteen-year-old Rama spoke softly and calmly, as if telling a story.

"I'm going to do something, to be a hero, it's not that people need heroes, it's just because I want to do it, I want to be a hero, that's all."

"It's right or wrong, its impact, that's something that latecomers need to consider."

"And I'm only responsible for doing it."

When you really want to do something, you don't care if it's right or wrong.

In the same way, it will not go from wrong to right because of your position of power, the end result you bring.

If it was wrong from the start, it might lead to a good ending, but for the person involved, a mistake is a mistake.

"Everyone, allow me to tell you a truth."

Rama opened his arms and looked at all the elders.

"First of all, you can't stop me."

"I can kill you and leave the Tanit tribe, please trust me, no one in the tribe can kill me."

"So on this basis, you should believe me."

"Because if you believe me, you will get a general who wants to expand the territory, and he may lead the tribe to destruction, but he may also lead the tribe to glory."

"Believing that I am making a choice, fighting for possibility, and rejecting me is death."

He sat back down.

It wasn't the central location, but the elders looked at him and waited for his words.

"I'm done, you can think for yourself."

Babel's expression was complicated.

When communicating with Rama, Rama brought it up.

He can't get rid of hatred, so he can only use power and threats of life and death as shackles to tie everyone to the chariot.

As soon as the war begins, internal hatred is transferred to external contradictions.

Of course, there must be people here who will want to revenge their hatred first, but Rama doesn't care about minorities.

If we can open up territory in foreign wars, gain resources and more slaves, and the internal contradictions will be resolved more quickly.

"People will only resist a war for nothing, but I will bring them everything they want."

"So they won't resist the war, and naturally they won't resist me."

Despite its proclamation of peace and opposition to war, in the history of mankind alone, no national regime has ever feared or abhorred war.

Once a country is a little stronger, their first reaction is to open up territory through foreign wars.

If anything, they are disgusted by defeats and wars that cannot be profited.

If every time we can win the war, and if we win each time we win for greater good, then individual people may resist war, but the regime as a group will never be able to resist.

The elders fell silent.

Like Babel at the beginning, Rama didn't want to hear half of what Rama said.

But the knife is on the neck, and that's the truth.

You can not trust him and then look for opportunities to slowly get revenge back.

But if you're going to say no now, then you don't have the "after" thing.

So, do you want to show your determination to be broken rather than destroyed, or do you believe that his force value can lead to a better future, as Rama said?

"It's hard for us to believe you."

Theya looked at Babel and spoke first.

She had a heart for compromise and was sure that if she was the first to compromise, others would follow.

It's not that she has this prestige.

The elders themselves didn't have much to do with it.

There were nine elders in total, and three of them were eliminated by Babel and Rama, and this threat of being killed was naked in front of everyone.

Don't want to die.

The ants are still stealing their lives, not to mention that they already have a lot of power.

The Tanit are not a small tribe, and they are also a relatively large force in the sand sea.

Otherwise, in the end, they would not have been able to gain the favor of the Fatui.

Although the people at the bottom of the tribe lived in relative hardship, at the level of elders, no matter how hard it was in one place, it was impossible for them to suffer.

Those of them who are a little harder are also a little weaker in this kind of life.
