She looked so weak, she even had to use the boxes under her feet to make everyone see her figure, she looked so weak, even if she raised her arms and shouted, she couldn't dissolve the natural companionship in her voice

Renaud even wanted to laugh, his niece was ridiculously naïve - his warriors would not disobey him, let alone disobey him, a little girl's self-righteous speech could not change anything, he waved his hand, and the red-clothed elite beside him raised his already wound crossbow and aimed them at Loria.

If she refuses to admit her guilt, let her die.

Being targeted by a dozen crossbows made Loria sober up a bit, and it is unknown how many people her speech touched, but it moved herself, and she almost rushed head-on in the direction where Renault was...... At the last moment, a wall of ice rose from the ground to block the flying crossbow bolts.

I'm a terrible speaker...... Loria thought so, and she decided to do what she was good at - the soldiers who were guarding her were struck by the spreading Ring of Frost and froze in place, and her companions, who didn't even recognize herself, finally reacted and slashed at the people next to her with their weapons raised.

The so-called mouth cannon victory method was just wishful thinking, and the attack of the red-clothed elite plunged the scene into unprecedented chaos at once, and the two gangs slashed fiercely around her.

Loria lost her mind in her anxiety, she wanted to avoid a full-scale civil war, and for a moment her plans were disrupted, and she stood still, trying to shout to stop, but she knew that it was in vain.

Even more messy than she was Renault and Whitemane, who stared wide-eyed at the creature that was blocking Loria's form, and although they weren't proficient in magic, the thick wall of ice that held off the slave arrows was clearly not something some second-rate mage could make.

Their first thought was that Duane had betrayed, but Duane, who was not good at frost magic, seemed to be unable to do so—there was no such powerful frost mage in the monastery.

Not to mention the scuffle that is taking place at the foot of the stairs at this moment...... How could it be! How could so many people dare to betray them!

"Go, gather the soldiers who are guarding the place, and order them to kill all these traitors!" Renault pulled one of his nearest cronies and yelled as he pushed him out. Then he shouted at the other man, "Take my sword, and I will put an end to these lowly fools with my own hands!"

Renault and his red-clad elites were in disarray, and Loria was no better off on her side, with someone falling under her feet all the time. She couldn't figure out who her own people were—in fact, no one could tell the difference between her enemies and her comrades, and the rebellion and co-optation that had been secretly going on all along had thrown everyone into confusion, and whether they were loyal to Renault or Loria, they couldn't even figure out where they standed.

She was at a loss and could only shout in vain the slogans agreed upon in advance. I wish I could concentrate my people so that they could identify those who could be hit with magic, but the people caught in the melee have long since run out of room to follow instructions, and a moment's hesitation can kill them.

"Protect the Commander! There are traitors here!"

Flemon suddenly slit the throat of an elite red-clad man with a dagger from behind, and his pale-faced companions immediately did the same—and the people around Renault were also confused, and the warrior who had rushed to run with his sword was impaled by a soldier beside him with a crossbow at close range, and flew backwards.

"Go back! Go back! Hand over the traitors to the troops stationed outside!"

Flamon yelled as hard as he could, carefully careful not to get too close to Renault, and the soldiers in the confusion simply listened to him, staring at those around them with suspicion. Protecting Renault and Whitemayne as they retreated towards the Chapel.

The heavy doors of the chapel were closed, and Loria finally regained control of the scene—the raging frost swept through every inch of her side, and everyone was frozen.

"Everyone!

Her pupils turned blood-red, and the power of hypnosis was maximized, and at the same time, the magic of the rampage and the flying puck kept everyone quiet for a while, and they tried to use their frozen legs to pull away a little bit that was not enough to ensure a safe distance.

"Loyal warriors, lay down your arms!

Without hesitation, a small group of people threw their weapons aside and knelt down on one knee in the direction where Loria was. Others, after a moment's hesitation, cautiously half-crouched down, but their hands never moved too far from their weapons...... The rest of those who were still standing looked at the ill-intentioned gaze beside them, and at the one who stood tall. The little girl, surrounded by a dozen terrifying ice hockey balls, finally slowly lowered her body.

When most people's eyes are focused on a certain person, even Renault's die-hard loyalists can only temporarily settle down and wait for the opportunity to sneak attack.

However, they don't have that opportunity for the time being.

Loria spotted some familiar people in the crowd and called out their names. "Doru, Sharia, Ragnaris, stand up, confirm your deployment, and control those who need rest, White, Carroll, to help the wounded. ”

The situation quickly settled down, and more than half of the men were disarmed and banished to the makeshift judgment seat, perhaps some neutral fighters, but they could not be set free for now.

"I can't trust you yet, but I promise you that you're safe, that you won't be hurt or mistreated in any way, and that you won't be held accountable when it's over. ”

Loria assured the men huddled with their heads that she certainly hadn't thought of giving up on holding some people accountable, but in order to calm their spirits, she simply promised not to be responsible.

Lies are not a burden to her.

Her captives weren't stupid either, and didn't trust her much, but people were always like that, willing to make many excuses to believe what they wanted to believe.

After isolating the unarmed captives with a wall of ice in a ring, Loria, who had overused her magic powers, jumped off the box with a pale face, arranged for the fountain to be defended, and surrounded the chapel.

There were only a hundred or so people around her, but she was not worried about the hundreds of fighters that Renault had deployed outside.

Renault's men finally arrived, fewer than expected, only three times the number on Loria's side, and they paused in front of the powerful ice magic displayed by Little Pink Fur, but instead of retreating, they surrounded her and her warriors.

An absurd double encirclement appeared in the square in front of the chapel.

The three groups of people holding the same banner maintained a fragile balance of power for the time being.

Civil war is on the verge of breaking out. (To be continued.) )
