"Really..." William deliberately raised his voice and continued to ask:
"Won't you secretly kill the stranger without the clan members knowing about it? This way you can still inherit the honor."
"Of course not!!" Saum replied almost shouting:
"Honor, glory, faith and integrity are what our people value most. If someone violates these, he will become a person who is reviled by all!"
"Then I understand." William smiled again and asked:
"What about the prophets? If the prophets encountered this situation, what do you think they would do?"
"It's them!" Saum corrected.
"Okay, they can answer the questions now, General Saum." William said with a faint smile.
"The prophet... will naturally do what we do." Saum replied.
But everyone present, including other elites, also felt that Saum's answer was not as decisive as before.
Although there had been conflicts between the elite and the prophets, which were later resolved, senior generals like Saum were aware of some of the prophet's dirty deeds.
Even the secret slaughter and suppression of resistance were orders given by the prophet for their elites to execute secretly.
Out of Mutual help and respect for gods and prophets, senior generals and elites also turned a blind eye.
"It seems that General Saum already has the answer in his heart." William said in time.
"..." Saum didn't refute anything, as if he acquiesced.
"Very good." William showed a satisfied look and began to fool Saum:
"General Saum, what I can tell you now is that in the metaphor just now...
'Father' is the god you believe in, you can call him the forerunner.
'You' are the Prophet Clan who is now in charge of the Star Alliance and uses religion to control you Sangheili people, as well as the thoughts and actions of other races.
And the 'stranger' who appears at the end is actually us humans."
"What?!" Saum showed an extremely shocked face, and immediately yelled angrily:
"This is impossible!! You are blaspheming! You bastard!!! I'm going to kill you!!"
"Ouch!!"
Hearing Saum's roar, all the elites in the cell also started shouting.
"Shut up, everyone!!"
Seemingly annoyed, Mylon, who was standing behind William, also yelled, but Serena did not help him translate.
"Mylon." William glanced back at Mylon and said softly:
"Just let them scream, and they will stop when they get tired of shouting."
"It's... boss."
Mylon had no choice but to show his unwillingness, glared at this group of elites, and said nothing more.
"Father." Ivan, Vision, who were standing on the left hand side of William, glanced at the group of elites and asked William:
"Can this really shake their faith? Wouldn't it be better if they just sign Confidentiality Agreement?"
"Haha." William raised his hand with a slight smile, patted the right shoulder of Ivan, who was already taller than him, and explained:
"Confidentiality Agreement can certainly guarantee their loyalty, but they also have their own thoughts.
When the time comes, they will only listen to your command but are unwilling to cooperate with other troops. Then this will not be worth the gain, and it will lead to catastrophe at a critical point.
Therefore, convincing them is the best choice. Confidentiality Agreement is just a guarantee.
When you take over the company in the future, you must take a long-term view, do you understand?"
After hearing William's teachings, Ivan nodded humbly and accepted. "I understand, father."
"Yeah." William also nodded lightly.
Then the group of them really watched the elites roar in silence.
In less than two minutes, the elites received no response from William and others. It was like they were punched on cotton, so they had to fall silent again.
"You!" Saum was still a little angry, pointing at William and said angrily:
"You are talking nonsense and you can't provide any evidence. Why should I believe you?!"
"Who said I couldn't produce evidence?" William raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Serena, who was standing on his right side.
Serena also understood the meaning of William, and then her pupils emitted a faint blue light and controlled the holographic 'TV' in this area.
Using this holographic TV, the information and files of Göbeklitepe were played, especially the words engraved on Stone Pillar.
After all, the script currently used by the Star Alliance is the Forerunner script, so Saum and other elites can also understand it.
Finished playing.
Serena Turn off holographic projection.
At this time, the elites who were still aggrieved, extremely angry, and liked to yell and scream all withered.
Saum even opened his four-petal mouth, showing an unusually stunned look, as if he was frightened by the 'evidence' in front of him.
"Haha." William continued:
"General Saum, what you see is exactly from a ruins on our home planet.
The reason why I can talk to you now is because a few years ago... I don't know if you can understand "year", but the ruins were discovered a long time ago.
That's why we humans have a certain level of information about your language, and this... can be considered one of the evidences."
"One?" Saum, who had regained consciousness, was no longer so resistant, but asked curiously:
"Do you have any other evidence?"
"Of course." William did not deny it, but waved his hand and motioned to John to open the cell doors.
At the same time, he also said to Saum, "General Saum, I will take you away next and go to the outside of this building.
After all, the next 'evidence' requires a certain amount of space to display.
Also, I believe that you who value credibility will not make a sneak attack or violently resist.
I don't think you are stupid either. You don't need to remind me of the consequences of causing trouble in enemy territory."
"Don't worry." Saum looked at the cell door that was opening automatically in front of him, moved the joints of his hands, and assured William:
"My subordinates and I will not act rudely, but..."
Having said this, Saum, who had already walked out of the cell, said softly to William in a tone that sounded like he was complaining or complaining:
"But your subordinates were very rude when they trapped us. I hope you can correct this trend."
"Um..."
William has seen how Helljumpers tied up and carried elites. To be honest, he was indeed a bit of a rogue.
But facing the powerful race of elites, Helljumperss did the right thing, and he didn't expect the elites to be so vengeful.
Then he said perfunctorily, "Okay, I will tell them, then please follow me."
With that said, William turned around and walked outside, with Ivan and Serena following behind him.
On the other hand, John, Karl and Mylon have always maintained vigilance, allowing these dozens of elites to follow William and others at a distance.
Finally, they came to the square in the center of Harvest City, and Athena, who had been waiting for a long time, was also there.
