Chapter 299 - 195 - The Universal Law of Ancient Civilizations_1
Before Ivita could react, a man adorned in gold and silver suddenly addressed her, "Great Mortal King, these are the second batch of slaves this month, over five thousand in total. Let us cast their flesh and blood into the Thousand-Year Fire."
"The slaves have no value; it is you and us who are the pillars of our nation."
Ivita looked down at over five thousand slaves below, half-naked, among them young boys and girls. Their time in this world was short, but now they were facing death.
Ivita could not help but feel resistance. She was disgusted by sacrifices using human lives. These slaves had parents, wives, and children; they were human beings, not animals.
If one could sacrifice these people as if they were animals, the real problem is that they would likely have no respect for the weak at all.
Those who are weaker than him are unimportant in their eyes.
This is wrong.
Indeed, in civilization, it is the 1% of individuals who push society forward, moving it into the next stage.
But ordinary people are the bedrock of society and the foundation for realizing the ideas of that 1%.
They are the substance of this society, the most critical part.
To ignore the value and strength of ordinary people is the most foolish thing.
