perfectlyambiguous:

idk if someone has said this before but what julius says to flint
in 4×07 is literally what happens between flint and silver just episodes later

“what happens when our enemy realizes that all it needs
to do to defeat us is to take away that common cause? turn one
against the other. and when that happens as it is all but certain to
do which of us standing here are likely to be the ones who benefit
and which the ones sold back into their chains?”

when
the common cause between flint and silver changes, when what they
want starts to shift and silver turns on flint, silver was the one who
stood to benefit from it and was a major player in getting the treaty ratified and ending the war while flint was the one who was literally sold in
chains.
