The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor novel Chapter 1760

"Dad!"

Ella felt unhappy though. When she thought about how Helena and Fane were pretty good people—especially when they saved her life—naturally, she wanted the people of the Nine Armies to help Fane and the others as soon as possible.

That was why she could not help but step forward and tug on Kye's sleeve, trying to give a hint in a soft voice.

Still, Kye shook his head at both her and Hendrick. "This involves our fortress, and it involves the survival or destruction of the Nine Armies. I know that the young man called Fane saved you, Ella, and you want to help him immediately. But we can't make decisions on our own toward such a huge matter. We need to have everyone discuss this and have the majority agree to it before anything!”

When he spoke here, Kye paused for a while before continuing, "It's evident that the First Fortress Master's decision is the best for now. Everyone has agreed to it, so we need to agree to it too. Understand? If Helena and the others have already died then you’ll say that we only rushed out to help when we heard the fights in the forest had grown fiercer. You have to explain like that if the Pavilion Billow Cloud people ask about it!"

Although Ella felt dissatisfied, she could only nod her head. "I understand, Dad!" she said softly. "We can’t let our feelings decide our actions during this time!"

Kye nodded his head. "That’s right. All of you just stay at home and cultivate yourself for the next three days. If you can improve yourself anyhow, so be it. Even if we fight the Bloodshed Clan in the end, it'll just be for show. Still, we’ll probably be fighting for around four or six hours. It’ll be difficult to avoid casualties then."

"Okay!"

Ella nodded her head and agreed to this.

"All right. This is a huge matter that involves the Nine Armies, after all. It’s not decided based on my word alone. Everyone agreed to the suggestion I gave just now. It doesn't matter if they're fortress masters from other fortresses, or Elders or Patronums—all of them can vote via a show of hands. We should just go along with the majority!"

Although everyone knew what the conclusion was, Austin still declared to everyone in a loud voice, putting on a show. It was clear that naturally, more than ninety percent of the people had raised their hand, expressing their agreement to Austin's decision.

The meeting finally ended. Everyone returned to their fortresses to rest, and they all agreed that before they set out, the First Fortress Master would launch a signal from here. Then everyone would set out together toward the woods and wait to observe the situation outside the forest.

At this moment, Fane and the others were cultivating themselves in a cross-legged position.

Fane was well aware that he and the others had led plenty of people in this time. Since the Anti-Alliance Guard and the Alliance Guard were enemies, which was why the Anti-Alliance Guard would not be able to ignore them. If they did, that meant that they were abandoning the ideals they held onto all this while. This would not do—even if they would throw their faces away, they would still help Fane and the others.

Furthermore, between the two factions, plenty of conflicts probably broke out while they were searching for treasure or something like that. Because of this, it was highly likely that the Anti-Alliance guard would do something to help them.

However, for the lone Pavilions or forces, such as the Nine Armies, he could not tell if they would wholeheartedly help him and the others.

After all, Fane had heard from Helena that the overall strength of the Nine Armies seemed to be slightly weaker than the Bloodshed Clan. If this was the case, they would carefully measure the consequences of their involvement.
