Chapter 814 The will of the people cannot be violated
People have habitual thinking, even the saints who are known as able to abandon the troubles of the world and devote themselves to public service are no exception.
Of course, it turns out that the so-called saint is not free from all the troubles of the world, and this is nothing more than Gristian's wishful thinking, as exemplified by the fall of Visy Verne and Devos.
Unlike Madroxas, who was full of martial virtues and frequently changed barons, the atmosphere of the promotion fortress was more peaceful, and the personnel changes were not so frequent.
He had been a loyal hand for tens of thousands of years, and Devos had long been accustomed to her assistant, and had never had any suspicions about Sonia.
But it was this kind of over-trusting habitual thinking that blinded Devos's cognition, and she was always played with by Erwuzai.
Lesonia's mental hint to DeVos is not just a simple spell, but also mixed with some psychological principles mentioned by the barrage.
Under the long-term influence of the two-pronged mental suggestion, DeVos was completely unable to have any suspicion of Lesonia.
Stella Gossa is skilled in all kinds of spells, but as the so-called art industry has a specialty, in terms of spiritual spells, Little Star's attainments are not as good as Onexia, who specializes in this way.
DeVos is skeptical of her claim that she was being brought to Sonia, insisting that her will is free and not distorted by anyone.
With DeVos' permission, Onexia uses the Blade of the Dark Empire to bring Sonia's will under control.
As the glazed-eyed Sonia spoke out about her rebellious actions over the years, Devos's expression changed from disbelief at first, to anger, and finally to self-blame and remorse.
In order to avoid arousing DeVos's detection, the mental spells that Lesonia applied to DeVos were not strong, not so much distorting the will, but cooperating with psychology to induce her behavior.
DeVos thought that all the decisions she had made were of her own volition, but they were not.
Come to Sonia...... Or the warden is the driving force behind her many decisions, including the fall from the sky.
When DeVos realized that there was something wrong with his thinking patterns, the weak mental hints that Lesonia had applied to him naturally failed.
Getting rid of the lure of spells, DeVos began to reflect on what he had thought and done over the years.
Then she sadly discovers the fact that Sarren's speculation was correct, that her will had been hijacked years ago, and that many decisions were not made by DeVos.
This discovery devastated DeVos, but it also allowed her to completely get rid of the PUA of Sonia and see things more clearly.
The poison called Soul Eater is one of the most proud masterpieces of the alchemist Stradama, who was already dying of the poison of Soul Eater, and was even worse by Onexia's mind control.
After revealing many information about her betrayal of her master (the warden) against her will, Lysonia, whose will was in contradiction and confusion, could no longer support it, and her soul turned into pure soul light and dissipated with the wind, ending her life of sin.
As the object of the soul bond of Sonia, Eleudia looked sad, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and silently prayed for the misguided Sonia.
The sinners came to Sonia and dissipated freely, but the mess left to Visy Vergne and DeVos was far from over.
The Loyal Saint and the Oathbreaker of Purity and Holiness are fighting each other inside and outside the Hero's Sleep, a fierce infighting that breaks the dog's brain, and even the Grien in Elysium can clearly see it.
Regardless of how the situation develops after that, it is imperative to put an end to the infighting among the abandoners.
Eventually, Viche Vernie, who finally learned about DeVos's fallen nature, was still a little emotional, and her emotions couldn't be calmed down for a long time, but she at least knew what she had to do right now.
DeVos also temporarily suppressed his complicated mood and appeared with Visy Verne to appease their respective subordinates to stop the battle.
When the two oathbreakers were clearly separated, the elite troops from the direction of Elysium who planned to take advantage of the chaos to sneak attack arrived just outside the gate of Heroes' Sleep.
The side of Elysium did not expect that the infighting of the oathbreakers would be so anticlimactic, and when the other party was already on guard, the surprise attack that was originally planned to be launched could only be stillborn.
Seeing that the common enemy Grien had attacked him, the Loyal Saint and the Oathbreaker under the command of Pure and Holy tacitly put aside their differences and confronted the Grien raiders in unison.
This war has come to this point, and the side of the oathbreakers has basically achieved its goal.
In Sarean's view, what they need to do next is not to continue to march with one mind.
If the promotion fortress is broken, it is not necessary to spend energy to repair it yourself.
Visy Vergne and DeVos can use the advantage of the army of oathbreakers on the battlefield as a confidence to force Green's side to the negotiating table and get what they want through mutual compromise.
Although DeVos was puzzled and angry at the incurrification of Sarjan and his party at first, after calming down and clarifying the cause and effect of the incident, DeVos and Visy Verne both showed a considerable degree of trust and gratitude to Sarjan and the others.
If it weren't for the timely intervention of these four mortals, the conflict between Devos and Vissie Vergne would inevitably cause a big event that would not end well, and then it would only make the relatives hurt and the enemies happy.
Knowing that Sarren was acting as the Marquis of Creation, and had come to mediate the conflict on behalf of the Winter Queen and the Five Secret Houses of Madroxus, DeVos and Visy Vergne happened to borrow the slope to get off the donkey, and accepted Sarren's proposal and asked for negotiations with the side of Elysium.
In the absence of Gristian himself, it is difficult to lead the Grien to turn the tables against public opinion by relying only on the three saints with different injuries of varying severity.
More than 70% of Grien's and his candidates supported the Oathbreakers to force Gristia to change the law, and continuing to do so would only make Elysium completely lose the hearts of the people, and the gains outweighed the losses.
Courage Saint Sandria was the most seriously injured and is still unable to play, and Gristia is not surprisingly still autistic.
St. Jessenius of Wisdom and St. Jeckelus of Humility, as representatives of Elysium, agreed to the negotiating demands of the renunciators after some deliberation.
Salian didn't pay attention to the subsequent negotiation process, after all, it was a matter within the promotion fortress, and he, who was under the title of acting marquis of Mardroxus, could not interfere.
After witnessing the four saints calmly come to the negotiating table, Sarjan obtained permission for Cenius and Kyros to enter the city as envoys of Blazing Blue Senye and Madroxus.
Valeera, Stella Gosa, and Onexia ascend to the skies aboard the griffons of the sarrian incarnation, aiming for the floating city of Elysium, suspended high in the sky.
……
Both Promoted Fort and Madroxus have Floating Cities, but they serve completely different purposes.
The Floating City of Madroxus is dedicated to combat and is defined as a flying fortress on the battlefield.
Elysium, on the other hand, was an administrative complex, which was the palace of Gristiana and the administrative center of the fortress.
When Sarjan was ushered into the Castle of Elysium by a Greon civil servant named Adrestis, the scene was different from what Sarjan and the others had imagined.
In Valeera's imagination, there should be a large number of angels with snow-white wings flying freely around Elysium.
The wings and the castle in the sky are intertwined, and it should reflect a dreamlike landscape.
However, when they actually arrived at Elysium, the first thing that appeared in front of the four of them was a battalion full of wounded soldiers.
Elysium was not intended to be a fortress in the first place, and it would not have been home to many troops.
In the eyes of the higher-ups of the promoted fortress, including Gristiana, if one day the enemy breaks through the layers of defense and hits Elysium, it means that the defense system of the promoted fortress has completely collapsed, and there is no point in continuing to strengthen Elysium.
Ironically, it was not a powerful foreign enemy that broke through the defense of the promotion fortress, but a surging public opinion that broke out at once after being suppressed for many years.
After shrinking their forces and retreating to Elysium, a large number of wounded soldiers piled up in this small air palace.
Cenius and Kairos were only able to temporarily modify a portion of Elysium, allowing the healers to work overtime to heal the wounded soldiers.
Driven by strong public opinion, the army of oathbreakers is gaining momentum, and the number of troops on Grien's side is absolutely inferior.
Even without the infighting between Visy Vergne and DeVos as an opportunity to send troops, Cenius and Keros plan to fight again in the end.
If it still doesn't work, just lie down like the Archon Gristian, who is also dissatisfied with Gristia's anti-human rules anyway, and it is better to see if the oathbreakers can change Gristia's stubborn mind.
Under the guidance of the consul Aderestius, Saljan and his party met their eldest daughter Gristia again in the government hall at the heart of Elysium.
[This rookie's eldest daughter...... It looks so decadent. 】
