Heart of Empire

Chapter 97: General's Rebellion

Views:

Cecilia just heard that Patience ordered Pearl to seal up the winery.

This matter has not been spread yet, but soon everyone will know. When the ranger troops were mobilizing, some elf civilians who got off the Golden Fragrant Leaf found Cecilia and expressed their concerns to Cecilia.

The priestess felt that it was necessary for her to get Patience, who had gone astray, back on the right track. She said, "Patience, who supports you in doing this?"

"I don't need anyone's support. If I have to say support, the tradition that our elves have adhered to for thousands of years is the most solid belief that supports my actions."

"But, do you know what the elves who followed us all the way from Nancy to Comillar, those whom we desperately protect, what do they want? Just now, the Odoyle family found me and made it clear I am worried about your actions. This is a piece of pure land, the only shelter we have found for nearly half a year after we fled from Nancy. What we need is to be able to live well in this place, I don't want to worry anymore. Except for you and your rangers, no one wants to have any conflicts with Lord Dayne. Stop it, Patience, can't we live here safely?"

There was no wavering on Patience's face. Instead, she persuaded Cecilia: "Everything I do is for the better life of our people! If there is no elf tradition , like human beings, we have lost elegance, lost art, lost precious etiquette, blindly pursued practical interests, blindly only looked at the life in front of us, and did not pursue ideals, so are we still elves? Cecilia, Come and help me, I don't recognize Dane as an envoy, but I have no intention of conflicting with him, I just want to make Auriel a pure land of real elves. But if the final battle is inevitable If so, I hope you can stand by my side."

Seeing Patience's resolute appearance, Cecilia finally understood that it was impossible for her to persuade this friend, and she was already insane.

Cecilia's heart was already very tense, and she was much more rational than Patience, who had fallen into a frenzy.

Although she hadn't been in contact with Dane in the past few days, Cecilia also had a general understanding of the character of the lord of Cormyria. Among other things, she knew that Dane was definitely a person who would not compromise. Dane attaches great importance to the winery built next to the No. 2 Moonwell, and has always been dissatisfied with Patience's non-cooperation. Combining these things... When Dane comes back, he will definitely be furious endlessly.

The tragic thing is that she also knew that with Patience's current state, it was absolutely impossible for her to choose to compromise.

Therefore, it is foreseeable that if things are allowed to continue like this, when Dane returns, civil strife—or even civil war—in Comilla may be inevitable.

After thinking about this point, the priestess understood that in the almost unavoidable civil strife, whether it was for the elves or for the faith, she had to choose a side.

Cecilia already had a choice in her heart, but she said different words: "Well, I don't know whether this is right or wrong, but, Patience, seeing our friendship for many years, I believe , you will not do things that are sorry to our people."

Hearing what Cecilia said, Patience showed a surprised smile on her resolute face. She hadn't hoped at all at first that Cecilia would actually support her. After all, during the period after going to the island, the female priest has been advising her not to confront Dane. She was already mentally prepared that Cecilia would stand by Dane's side, but she didn't expect this to be the case.

With Cecilia's support, Patience felt that she had a better chance of controlling Aurelia.

She said: "Okay! Sure enough, I knew, Cecilia, you won't let me fight alone! Without further ado, after the winery was seized, the strength of Dane staying in Orienado will surely Those who have reacted, we must speed up our actions. I have ordered Pearl to act immediately after sealing up the winery to expel all the humans in Aurelia. Now, it is estimated that she has already started acted."

Cecilia's mood turned cold again, but she nodded on the surface and said, "You did a good job, what are we going to do next?"

Patience continued to talk about her plan of action: "Next, we must further control Aurianadu. Dane's strength in the forest is not just the mercenaries stationed. In the recent period During the contact, I felt that the druid Fal'ol and the priestess Eslor who presided over the temple are all staunch supporters of Dane. We must split up now, and I will take the rest Ranger, go and get rid of Fal'o. He has two or three squads of sword dancers in his hands, and he is not very easy to deal with. It would be best if he could be persuaded to return to the tradition of elves. If not... I will deal with it according to the situation of."

"Do you want to do it? I think this is definitely not advisable! Fal'o is an old and knowledgeable old man. He created almost all the forests around Auriel. For such a character, nothing really happens. Bloodshed, not in keeping with our elf tradition."

Cecilia knew that if she used ordinary persuasion methods, Patience might not be able to listen to her. She could only follow her words and use such illusory things as 'tradition' to persuade her.

Needless to say, this method really works. Patience hesitated for a moment, and said: "Indeed, thank you for reminding me, I will not do anything to Falor. But if he is really obsessed, he must take some measures. I will put him under house arrest." stand up."

Sighing in my heart, being able to persuade to this extent is already the limit of what Cecilia can do. She no longer entangled in this matter, but continued to ask: "Then what can I do for you?"

"Of course!" Patience said, "Besides Fal'o, there is another person in Aurinadu that we need to deal with. The presider of the temple, the priestess Eslor. She will be handed over to you Now, Cecilia, I believe that you will help us solve this trouble, right?"

"I will."
