Yuanshen: The sea of ​​sand at the beginning, straight to the seat of God

75 Chapter 74 - Unreliable

War came suddenly.

Tanit had a smooth journey. They might have been good at hunting at first, but as the battle progressed, their strength increased, but their ability in hunting declined instead.

Because there is no need to apply these techniques anymore.

Anyway, the war is the mechanical army advancing forward, and they are responsible for cleaning up the mess.

This kind of war can't hone any ability, and relying on some local battles alone is not enough to suppress the arrogance of Lien Chan and Lien Victory for a long time.

Especially the choice of the internal elders exacerbated this sudden change.

Maybe not everyone is a fool, but a wrong choice is not due to the stupidity of the decision maker, but because of some more important reasons.

Like a conflict of interest.

"Rama is the key to our success today. Without the technology mastered by Rama, the sea of ​​sand is still a mess."

"But what he did was too childish."

"The power of the gods is all controlled by him alone, and the results are obvious to all of you."

"We must share part of the glory of the gods from his hands."

Capricious, that's a fitting label.

Whether they are loyal to Rama or not, at least they have no objection to Rama's mistake.

So why can Rama act so willfully, not caring about their opinions at all, and make an absolutely wrong choice?
Because of the blessings of the Red King and the Flower God, he is the only one who has mastered it.

If I master the grace of God, I can also do these things, even better than him.

Rama may be the key to the tribe's success today, but I will be the future king's day...
They are all smart people, and they can naturally see the value of Rama to the current Shahai regime that is in full swing.

But smart people are not incapable of doing stupid things. If a stupid thing does not hurt their interests, but will bring additional benefits, then they will naturally do it.

Doing stupid things will definitely bring disadvantages, but the people who lose things are not necessarily the people who do things.

"This is not a betrayal, but a reasonable request."

"If Rama is allowed to act recklessly like this, sooner or later he will lead us into the bottomless abyss."

"We must obtain the gift of the gods to restrain Rama's certain incorrect words and deeds."

Reasonable.

This is certainly not an unjust evil backstab, but a "for your own good" constraint.

For your own good, because you did some things wrong first, we judge that your style of conduct is not steady.

You are not good enough, we can only stand up and help you for the future of Shahai.

You don't want us to help?

Look, these things make the child so worried that he starts talking nonsense.

You have done something wrong, of course we must come to help.

You do not need?How can this work.

This kind of reaction cannot be regarded as unexpected at all. In Sand Sea, betrayal is far more common than loyalty.

Of course Rama himself was kind to others, but these people also did things at the same time.

Since they did something and then received favors, at least they thought that this was a reasonable reward, and they relied on paying in exchange for rewards, so of course they didn't have to have too much emotion about Rama's favor.

"The main force of the [30-member group] is not close... Is it because they are worried that these people are acting?"

Standing on the top of the peak, Rama looked down at the shadow below with a relaxed and natural expression.

Ordinarily, this should be considered a general attack, but the [30-member regiment] only drove [The Legacy of the God King] and other gilded brigades to charge forward, and their own core troops kept on the sidelines instead.

It seems that they don't trust the bargaining chips of the Shahai dignitaries.

"That's right, in their view, Sha Hai is attached to me, at least now there is a possibility of standing up."

The dignitaries in Shahai just want Rama to learn a lesson, not intend to kneel down completely.

The 30-member group also knew this, so they urged the Legacy of the God King to charge forward and wait for the opportunity on their own side.

Both sides knew each other's purpose very well, but they still chose to do it as scheduled, without any hesitation or hesitation.

They probably feel that they can win in the chaos.

Except for [Legacy of the God King], after losing the value of being able to have both sides, he can only choose one side to cling to, without any extra right to speak.

The price of losing the right to speak is of course being pushed ahead as cannon fodder, but Mishal should be able to bear it.

It is impossible to have him in the ranks of cannon fodder, and sacrificing the mercenaries of [Legacy of the God King] in exchange for his own status is not an unacceptable business for him.

The flames of war ignited quickly.

Apparently it wasn't just the [30-member group] that was in action, chaos erupted at several important points at the same time, and the loud shouts of the elders rang out at random.

It was clearly an unexpected mess.

"Play off."

Rama watched with interest the chaos and battle below.

The fools obviously don't have the spirit of contract, and of course, neither do the desert people.

When neither party has any rigid pursuit of cooperation, the result of this cooperation has actually been written.

Apparently, fools are better than others.

Inside Babel's tent.

"I knew that the people of Zhidong were unreliable."

She obviously expected it.

"But you didn't tell Rama that we will act, Ms. Babel." Warlock Thunderfire said in an elegant voice, "You still love the highest power, right?"

As the middle rank in the kingdom and as the top rank in the tribe, Babel prefers the latter.

"Who doesn't love power?"

Babel was not alarmed.

Strictly speaking, she did not tell Rama about the private alliance of the elders, but she did not think that Rama was completely ignorant, he did not seem to be such a stupid person-well, judging by his recent choices, that may not be the case.

"The pursuit of power by incompetent people will only bring trouble to everyone." Warlock Lei Ying didn't say too much, "You are really pitiful, Ms. Babel."

"I've tried everything, but it's not as good as a child who got God's favor by chance."

She can taunt and kill with one hit.

This is indeed the greatest pain in the hearts of Babel and many elders.

When you work hard for something for a long time and someone gets it easily, not even because of talent, but because of luck, this is what makes people feel resentful.

If he didn't know how to keep a low profile, but instead advertised his good luck everywhere, this unbearable indignation would be even hotter.

"What do you want me to do." Babel avoided this topic with a silent expression.

To speak is to waste energy, but to waste energy to do things, you must have something to ask for.

"Frankly and honestly, you have already lost."

Warlock Lei Ying's words were leisurely and full of confidence.

"The Holy Order is not as procrastinating as you think. They plan to start a decisive battle and wipe out the Shahai regime in one go."

No temptation, no need for temptation.

Continuing war is not good for the Holy Order, and a unified sand sea is not a good thing.

The determination that the Six Sages should have is not lacking at all.

Even in the plot, the most hesitation of Azar and others is to pity and win over talented scholars.

But for more ordinary people, their temperament will be revealed more clearly.

"You bring up this kind of thing, it means that you don't want us to end like this at all."

Babel sneered, "Let me think about it. While you are plotting against the sea of ​​sand, you don't want us to be completely destroyed. That means you still need us to do something."

"Procrastination?"

The demise of the Shahai regime is not the end, but only an inducement for redistribution.

The impact of a victory is enough to make the six contemporary sages of the Order Academy leave two more lines of records in history, and make the desert people completely lose hope of turning over.

Because they really rebelled and caused trouble for the rainforest.

Then when they lost, they were regarded as real slaves, not the slaves in Dixia's mouth, and it was only natural that they would end up.

There is always a price to be paid for rebellion.

But Babel knew that these things had nothing to do with these Snow Country people.

They don't speak for this reason, but if they speak, there must be a reason for it.

What else could it be?

At this time, instead, one could see a bit of mother-child expression, and Babel's sneer was exactly the same as Rama's indifference.

Even though they are also the weak side, they seem to have the upper hand.

Warlock Lei Ying narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The destroyed sand sea is powerless to prevent the Academy from taking whatever it wants, but before the treasure falls into the hands of fools, the Academy can only wait."

"That's really good." Babel applauded her performance, "So what are you going to do, intervene openly, under the watchful eyes of the seven kingdoms of the world, intervene in Sumeru's internal affairs openly?"

"Are you compatible??"

There will always be some agreements commonly known as tacit understanding between countries, because it is not expressly stipulated, so of course you don't have to care.

But there is always a price to pay for doing things, and this kind of thing is not an exception.

The sand sea and the rainforest, no matter how you count among the Seven Kingdoms, are Xumi's internal affairs, the affairs of the God of Grass and the Holy Order.

If fools intervene in this kind of thing before taking action, it will inevitably leave a stereotyped impression on the Seven Kingdoms.

Can't make it.

The harvest in the sea of ​​sand may not be small, but the deeper plan involves the Seven Kingdoms, all the gods.

It's not worth doing this for a surprise.

But that doesn't mean you're about to give up.

The food is on the lips, you should eat it or you have to eat it.

It's nothing more than eating more elegantly.

"That's why I need you to stand up and stop the attack of the Holy Order." Warlock Leiying's face remained unchanged, "Ms. Babel, you are not the only one we have chosen."

"Choosing, um, very noble words." Babel said with a smile, "Go on, let me hear your interesting little calculations."

I can't stand it anymore.

Didn't you say she was a foster mother?Why is he so similar to Rama in terms of arrogance and country bumpkins!

"Your original idea has been completely defeated. It is impossible to replace the rainforest with a sand sea."

"If nothing can be done, do you plan to stay here and die with the Tanit tribe, or take a check from the Northland Bank to live in another country?"

Warlock Leiying's words are not very tempting, but the real battle situation is more useful than any verbal temptation.

It's true that you can't win, and it's true that you're about to die.

In that case, there is only one other way out.

"If we hadn't cooperated with you, the situation would not have been so bad."

Babel couldn't hold back either.

No one believes in the crowd of fools, just as the crowd of fools also does not believe in the promises of Shahai dignitaries.

But things still have to be done. You think you can prevent the other party's conspiracy and then use the other party.

Likewise, so do fools.

But just looking at the result, the fools won.

"But you have already made your choice." Warlock Leiying returned to his leisurely tone instead, "You have lost everything."

The cause and effect are so simple, nothing more than greed but no success, nothing more.

If you fail, you have to consider retreating.

The fools don't believe how loyal these people are to the identity of the desert people. After all, since the death of the Red King, the identity of the desert people has only brought them trouble and prejudice.

Of course, the main body of hatred was handed over to the Holy Order, after all, this was the prejudice and discrimination they set off.

But a long millennium has passed, and many people have begun to resent their origins rather than resenting the Holy Order that created this environment.

For example... why was I born a deserter and not a rainforest?

This kind of thinking is tumbling in the hearts of many desert people. They can't understand why such an unlucky thing must happen to them.

The world is very big, and many people can be desert people to serve as cows and horses for the Holy Order, so why does this person have to be me?
"It is indeed a loss, but it is not a complete defeat."

Babel shook her head.

Someone has to be the bully, there's no denying that.

But resenting my background and resenting my environment are two different difficulties. The former is leaving the problem to fate, so that all mistakes don’t matter. After all, I have a bad background and there is nothing I can do about it.

Birth is an unchangeable destiny, and environment is an enemy that needs to be challenged.

But the Holy Order is very difficult to beat.

Even if you can't win at all, resisting their rule and oppression, it is really better to leave the problem to fate.

"Do you still have hope for a comeback?"

Warlock Leiying couldn't help frowning.

This time, the fools even appointed the executive officer to handle official duties. With the power of Sha Hai, there would be no room for resistance.

But estimates are estimates, and the results are always unknown numbers before the dust settles.

She definitely doesn't want any surprises.

"Isn't this what you guys are doing?" Babel spoke casually, "It wasn't for testing Rama's cards, so you wouldn't be wasting time with me here."

Finding the right owner is the key to solving many problems.

What the fools want is the relics of the gods, not some sandy regime, nor the life and death of Rama.

These are irrelevant, the only important thing is the legacy of the Scarlet King and the Flower God.
