Chapter 648: Seth's Thunder

After reaching an agreement with Jenn, Ellie left Passus and hurried back to the White Tower. While it's a tricky thing to do about solving the legacy of the outcasts, it's not entirely unconfident for Ellie. After all, the Templar Order is also Ellie's domain, so even if it is difficult, Ellie still has the confidence to push this forward.

"Are you really going to do that? My baby? ”

Sitting on the chair and looking at the girl in front of him, the old man knocked on the pipe in his hand and raised his head. Those wise eyes shone with the brilliance of wisdom. Hearing the old man's inquiry, Ellie nodded without hesitation.

"Yes, I've decided......... I never imagined that the outcasts' hatred for the Templar could be so deep, and of course, I knew that the Templar had done something wrong, but that was not a reason to escape. Because of our indifference, some innocent people have been seriously harmed. They may never forgive us, let alone reconcile with us, but I think this is the first step we have to take, no matter what, we want them to show us that we are sincere. If we can't even make this sacrifice, then what qualifications do we have to save this continent and its people? If we don't even do what we can do, then what else can we do? ”

“……………”

Hearing Ellie's words, the old man did not answer immediately, he reached out, knocked his pipe lightly, and then sighed.

"So. Do what you want, the old stubbornness of the Supreme Council is not easy to convince. Do you know? Ellie, in fact, some people in the Supreme Council have begun to question whether the girl is really the Son. They felt it necessary for the girl to come to the Supreme Council in person for scrutiny............"

"And then they can lock her up as a matter of course?"

For the old man's words, Ellie was completely helpless.

"My lord had thought of this a long time ago, and he had already told me that it didn't matter to him whether Miss Elinster was a son or not, and it wasn't he begging us to take herin. We can deny that Miss Elester is the Son, and that is no loss to him, anyway, ............" At this point, Ellie paused, but decided to finish her sentence. "Anyway......... Nor is it his obligation to save the world. ”

"Hehe..............."

Hear here. The old man chuckled.

"Yes, those old stubborns didn't know the situation at all, in fact, it wasn't him who asked us, but we asked him......... I'd love to see this funny little guy. But for now, I'm going to stay here to keep those guys from doing stupid things in their heads. Ellie, you have to understand that sometimes actions in the name of justice do not necessarily get the results they want. Now in the face of darkness and evil oppression, some people have begun to become anxious and panicked, in their opinion, for the sake of victory. In order to defeat evil, they should use all means to achieve this end. But......... We have faith, but many people have begun to ignore the meaning and necessity of its existence. ”

Hear the old man talking. Ellie also nodded. And this is exactly what happened, with the further expansion of evil and darkness. There have been a number of voices coming from the upper echelons of the Templar Order. Many people believe that it is necessary to immediately appear in public to be strong enough to resist and even defeat the forces of darkness. Otherwise. The prestige of the Templar will be dealt an unparalleled blow, and evil will be further expanded. And in order to do that, they have to make sacrifices. Of course, this is not a wrong argument, but sometimes their so-called "sacrifice" is too radical, and they are willing to sacrifice themselves to force others to pay for it......... It's a bit of a cross the line of what the priesthood should do.

But at this moment, the old man seemed to remember something again, and he stretched out his finger and tapped lightly on the table.

"By the way, Ellie, about what you said earlier......... The Seth court has made a decision, and Thomas will be stripped of his status as prince and will be imprisoned forever at Warford Manor............ Do you understand what that means? ”

"Seth won't let it go?"

Hearing this, Ellie couldn't help but be taken aback. Of course, she knew what the old man meant, and in fact, after returning to the White Tower, Ellie had been busy with only two things, other than pushing for a reversal of the outcasts on the Templar's side, and justifying what Thomas had done in the Parsus Territory. In fact, after returning to Seth, Thomas had already reported the incident, and in order to clear his own guilt, he said a lot of bad things about Jenn and Passus. And Ellie, as a saint, of course, couldn't just watch Thomas push the black pot to Jenn, so she also stood up to refute Thomas's words. But what Ellie didn't expect was that Seth would actually make such a decision?

You know, Seth didn't just punish him, in fact the meaning of it was very simple -- I knew that our people had done something wrong, and we punished him. But that doesn't mean we're going to end there, and now that we've done what we have to do, it's up to you to say what you say.

Not to mention, Thomas was stripped of his status as a prince and placed under house arrest on the estate forever, which was almost the most severe punishment. This shows how strong the determination of the Holy State Seth to deal with Passus is this time.

"Yes."

In the face of Ellie's incredulous inquiry, the old man nodded.

"They have publicly demanded that Lord of Passus go to the White City and apologize to Seth for what he has done......... And just now, the lord had already responded, "I never apologize for the right thing." ”

"That's a ........."

Hearing this, Ellie was also completely speechless. She couldn't figure out what the lord was thinking.

What was the Lord of Passus thinking?

This is a question that not only Ellie does not understand. Even the major forces on the Klein Continent couldn't understand it at all. None of them were fools, in fact Seth punished Thomas for that bad luck. When Jenn was then asked to go to the White City, the elves already understood that this was Seth's ultimatum. And they also knew very well that this time Seth was determined to take this lord to power. If Jenn is willing to give in, then Seth will be able to maintain his leadership position in the Western Continent unshaken. But if Jenn refuses, then Seth has a reason to take action against him -- after all, they have dealt with themselves and are completely on the moral high ground.

In the eyes of many people, the best way for this lord is to bow his head, after all, the Holy Kingdom of Seth is one of the two most powerful countries on the Klein Continent, and there are tens of millions of soldiers and horses. And Passus is just a small territory, what ability does it have to compete with Seth? Of course. If Jenn chooses to relent, and goes to the Holy White City, then he must be comfortable. But men, sometimes they have to do things when they eat a loss.

But what everyone didn't expect was that instead of bowing his head, Jenn slapped Seth on the cheek almost hard, swelling his face.

"I never apologize for the right thing."

The meaning of this sentence is almost impossible to think about, and everyone can understand the meaning of it. And in this way. Seth has no way out, and if it can't respond to this, then where will Seth's face go in the future? What other prestige does it have? How does it compete with Colencia?

So it stands to reason that Seth's response to Jenn can almost be described as thunderous. It openly denounced Jenn for his arrogance and declared Passus an "enemy of the Empire", while Seth called on all of his subjects to unite. Teach Passus a lesson!

But alas, reality slapped Seth in the face again.

Shortly after Seth made the call. Seth's vassals did send representatives to the White City, but they did not come to answer Seth's call to join the Coalition. On the contrary, they all came to complain.

That's right, complain.

Although the tone of their speech is very humble and respectful, basically all the representatives have the same meaning, that is, their army has consumed too much in the previous process of fighting against the undead legion on the Chaos Coast, and although they also hope to be able to respond to Seth's call to participate in the combined army, but their own military strength is really limited, and they are also too consuming in the battle with the undead, so they can't get together an army for a while, so for Seth's call, of course, they support it spiritually, but this army......... … Hehe......... You know.

This unexpected state of affairs really caught Seth a little off guard, and he didn't expect things to turn out like this. However, in fact, it is not surprising that these vassal states have such a statement, after all, on the one hand, their legions are indeed a huge consumption among the undead army, which cannot be faked, and it is also a fact. On the other hand, almost all of the main armies of these countries were transported back by Jenn with the Magic Fortress, and even some of them were the most important Dinghai Divine Needles in the country, if Jenn did not transport them back, then the ruling classes of many countries might not even be able to sit on the throne.

In addition, the Templar Order's approach in this matter is very intriguing, they did not cooperate with the Holy State Seth as everyone had thought before, on the contrary, the Templar Order clearly declared that it was a dispute between Seth and the Passus Lord, and it was inconvenient for them to intervene. This limits the entire conflict to between the two forces, and there will be no struggle between evil and good. In this way, countries do not have to worry about who they support and who they do not support. Coupled with the fact that Jenn was kind to them, they certainly knew what to do without the threat of the Templar's moral sledgehammer.

Not to mention that these subject legions are the group of people who have the most knowledge of Jenn's Wizard Fortress, as long as anyone with a brain can imagine that if Passus is attacked, Jenn will definitely summon this Wizard Fortress, and when that time comes......... Aren't they still dead?

It is precisely because of these that although many subject countries have verbally "responded" to Seth's call, none of them have actually sent troops.

And this also made Seth's position suddenly embarrassing. (To be continued.) )
