Lucius continued to persuade Matthew, who remained unmoved.
"Besides, the other side will surely launch a fierce attack on you once you leave the Sacred Mount. You might be able to return to Skargness safely, but what about the others?"
This finally struck Matthew's soft spot.
He wasn't confident he could ensure everyone's safe return.
However, he also didn't want to cause disaster for the Sacred Mount.
Lucius, being astute, immediately saw through his thoughts.
"Just stay peacefully on the Sacred Mount. Rest assured, the Basha's Sacred Mount has stood for hundreds of years and naturally has its methods. Moreover, if we let you go back, my precious daughter will surely insist on going with you to protect you. I have to think about my daughter, even if not for you!"
Matthew knew Lucius' mention of Ivy was just an excuse. They could easily stop her if they wanted to.
He turned to look at the crown prince, who pouted and shrugged his shoulders.
The meaning was clear. You'll make the decision.
After a few seconds of contemplation and hesitation, Matthew finally nodded.
"I feel deeply guilty for bringing trouble to Sacred Mount."
This was meant as a word of gratitude, and the atmosphere was lifted.
However, Lucius didn't care about these formalities. He raised his hand and slapped Matthew heavily on the shoulder, making Matthew grimace in pain.
This act was somewhat personal.
"Cut the nonsense! The entire Sacred Mount will be yours and Ivy's in the future anyway."
"Rest assured, Matt. If anyone dares to challenge Sacred Mount, we will make them pay."
After saying this, his laughing face turned stern.
Outside the mountain, Zedran, seeing that Alexis was ready, immediately made the next move.
Time was of the essence, and he had to pressure the Sacred Mount quickly.
Such a large-scale military operation must have already been reported to Everton.
Although Rocco had verbally promised to buy him some time, one could never be too careful.
"Come!"
