Chapter 456: Betrayal
The twenty angels of Xiaowen actually stabilized their feet because of Ai Jing Ruina's words, and the narrow little reward couldn't help but jump like thunder: "You guys are so obsessed! I didn't want to kill my kind! But you guys, I can't help it! ”
Then he turned to look at the other elders: "Guys, everyone has seen the current situation, Howard colluded with the Negans, and he did it. If we don't work together to kill these Negans now, if the rumors leak out to the empire, our people will be in trouble! So we're going to kill these Negans first. Then arrest Howard and his allies. Deal with this before the Empire finds out! That's how it will be time to shirk! I hope you don't hesitate anymore! ”
There are a total of thirteen elders of the Jade Envoy Clan, and eight of them have already fallen to the side of Elzac and Pierce, and Pierce's words are clearly said to all the elders, but in fact, they are said to the five elders who are close to Howard.
These five elders didn't expect such a thing to happen tonight, and unlike Pierce, they came prepared, so they didn't bring many people, and they themselves were only about a dozen people, but at this time, there were not many people from all sides on the field, and more than ten people were enough to change the balance of strength of all parties. It is Pierce who is now trying to win over all the forces that can be won over for his own use.
Erzac stood behind Howard, watching Pierce's performance coldly, although he didn't have much expression on his face at the moment, but in fact, his heart was already angry.
Because he found that Pierce was too unreliable in doing things, as an elder, he didn't know how to judge the time and seize the power, and the current situation was very advantageous, Howard was already hard to argue, so he only had to use words to move the people on Howard's side, everyone went back to the clan, and with their own control of the Presbyterian Church, with or without these Negans as evidence, Howard was going to be ousted.
So those Negans, it doesn't matter if they kill them now or not, and then notify the Empire, they will die without a place to bury, and they can't conflict with them here, these Negans are unknown. The strength does not seem to be strong, but it is strictly disciplined, the twenty archangels are still firmly on their side in such a situation, and it explains a lot of problems, and listening to the words of the other party, it is still an important person of the other party, they dare to venture deep into the empire, they must have something to rely on, if they really want to fight, what the result is unknown, in case they alarm the nearby emperor ** team, let the empire know about this matter when they have not fully controlled the angel clan, and it will take a lot of effort to explain it when the time comes, Maybe there will be some misunderstandings.
And Elzac's plan at the beginning was not to do it, as long as the elders of the clan saw Howard talking with people secretly, his plan would have been successful, otherwise he would not have arranged only such a small number of people to come, but Pierce was unforgiving, and he thought it was smart to do it to the Negans, and before deciding to do it, he didn't even find out whether the elders who originally supported Howard were also willing to do it, which was really stupid.
But for now, it's useless for him to be annoyed. Because he could already see that Pierce's gang was thinking the same way as Pierce at the moment, and they were underestimating those Negans.
He thought about whether to come forward to stop the actions of Pierce and others, if he came forward, Pierce and the others would definitely not dare not listen, but in this way, the good image among the clansmen that he had been working hard to manage would be destroyed, and the angel clan was now divided into two factions, and his plan would be realized. It is more dependent on those radicals who dare to fight and rush, the conservative ideas are too old to be of great use, and he has always behaved against each other. In order to get as much support as possible from both factions after becoming the patriarch, if he publicly exposes his secret relationship with the conservatives for the sake of the immediate matter, it really makes him feel a little bit more than he gains.
So he was annoyed and hesitant.
At this time, Howard finally spoke again: "Guys, don't listen to Pierce's nonsense, be instigated by him!" I've already said that these guests are not Negans! They are my sincere guests from afar, and I invite them because I think they will be of great help to my people! They are not enemies of our people, but guests of our people! There is no reason in this world to swing a sword at a guest who comes to help him! ”
Pierce said angrily: "What distinguished guests, they are clearly Negans!" I don't know which of Lord Negan's subordinates! Otherwise, why don't you dare identify them? ”
Howard said in a deep voice, "If things are settled." Naturally, I'll explain it to you, but before that, I'm really inconvenient to explain their identity! Thank you for your forgiveness! ”
"Wait for you to negotiate, I'm afraid that my clan has been sold by you!" Pierce laughed, his words quite disdainful, "And now it seems that they must be enemies of the Empire, if not Negan, otherwise why can't you explain their identity?" As long as they are enemies of the Empire. And what is the difference between them and the Negans! Howard, stop saying useless things again! What else are you trying to fool us about?
"Say no more, Pierce".
At this point, the elders discussed it for a while. Finally there was a conclusion, and one of them stepped forward and interrupted the conversation between Pierce and Howard: "Howard, you've been there for so many years. It's true that I've done a lot for my clan, so. Although now not quite sure of everything you said. But we'll still give you a chance to defend yourself! But arguing like this here is not an option! It's also a problem if the Imperial side finds out! Well, let your guests go back to our clan with us, and everyone spread out and make things clear, and if you don't lie to us, then everything is easy to say. Our people will welcome these guests with the most solemn ceremony, and if you really collude with the Negans with the intention of distrinizing against our people, then we will have to let you abdicate and make way for you! The guests you invite have to go back wherever they come from! In short, we will guarantee the safety of you and the guests you invite! If you are open-minded, go and convince your guests to go back with us now!" ”
The elder who spoke up was named Gillian. The relationship with Howard has always been close. The method he proposed can be regarded as fair, but at this time, how can Howard agree to such a solution.
There are Pierce and his gang in the clan, and there is the mastermind behind them who is hiding behind them, Howard is suspected by everyone again, and he is difficult to protect himself at the moment, and then letting Chen Jian go to the angel clan is undoubtedly asking him to throw himself into the net, who knows what tricks Pierce will secretly come up with, and Chen Jian and the others will definitely not agree.
So Howard couldn't think about it except for shaking his head.
It's just that he shook his head, which made many angels present suspicious of him.
Jilian was even more angry: "Howard, why don't you agree!" Do you really have a ghost in your heart?
Howard sighed: "I have a clear conscience, but Gillian, in other words, you are in the position of the guest I have invited, and in this situation, will you agree to such a request and go to the clan with us?" ”
When Ji Li'an heard him say this, he was stunned, and glanced in the direction where Chen Jian and the others were. Silent.
Of course, he also understands that this is a bit of a strong man's difficulty. It's just that he really can't think of a better way than to do it.
Then he heard Howard say loudly, "Gillian, you have to know the truth, you can." Don't embarrass these guests and let them leave. Then I will go back to the clan and explain everything to you. When the time comes, you will judge for yelves, whether I should continue to be like this. Patriarch! There's no need to move a sword here! There's no need to kill each other! ”
Hearing this, Jilian and the other elders looked at each other. Pierce was a little moved, but Pierce didn't follow and shouted, "Howard, you don't want to let these Negans go!" You are clearly afraid that they will fall into our hands, and ask about your secret plan! ”
Then he turned to the angels who were with him and shouted, "What are you doing in a daze? Surround those Negans and don't let any of them go! ”
With his order, except for the five elders who were close to Howard and the men they brought with them, who were still standing in place and did not move, the rest of the angels began to move, scattered around Chen Jian and his party, sealing the retreat in all directions of their position, even in the air.
Howard was shocked and angry when he saw this. hurriedly asked his side to help protect Chen Jian and the others. But it was Liao Liao, dozens of archangels. Now there were less than twenty people willing to act on his orders, and these twenty took a few steps. Seeing that the other companions did not follow, they also stopped moving, and their faces were full of confusion.
Erzac also didn't move, and he still couldn't make up his mind to expose his relationship with Pierce and others at this time, so he chose to let Pierce and others deal with everything here. And he suddenly realized that no matter how things evolved, the final outcome would not change. If these Negans were defeated, Pierce and the others would have been able to obtain more favorable evidence to prove that Howard had colluded with the Negans. Very beneficial for him.
If Pierce and the others are defeated, then there will definitely be more casualties among the men they brought, which is even more disadvantageous for Howard, in addition to colluding with outsiders, he can also be given another thing. The charges against the clansmen are even more beneficial to Elzak.
After thinking about this, Elzak decided to take a look, and then secretly help Pierce and the others, so that this battle that should not happen will end as soon as possible, so as not to attract the attention of the Empire because of the big movement.
"Elzac, how can you" Howard found that even Elzac didn't listen to them. He couldn't help but be angry, but his rebuke was only halfway there. He was loudly interrupted by Elzac.
"Patriarch, please forgive me for not being able to accept this order from you!" Elzac's face was solemn and helpless, "My sword will never be swung against my own people!" This is my principle! I'm not going to do it to Acereena and them, and I can't do it to Elder Pierce! And I can't fight my own people to protect outsiders! It's just so weird!
