Arcane Lord

Seeing Cross getting up, Horn immediately stared at the opponent warily. Although he did not believe that the opponent dared to take action in this situation, it at least showed that he was not convinced by the Seven Towers' ruling and wanted to make a final struggle.

Cross said impassionedly: "Nowadays, in the northern countries, it has become a general trend to reform and establish more efficient organizational methods. If we are one step behind now, we may have to take countless steps to make up for it in the future.

"Every one of you here has selfish motives and only wants to stick to your own territory, but you don't know that only true unity can allow Netheril to win future competitions.

"Sir Horn, I know you are very dissatisfied with me because I challenged the old order established by the Seven Towers, but what I want to say is that what I do today may not be what the Seven Towers will do in the future!

"Everyone, the Seven Towers are now powerful, and you all agree to demand sanctions against me. But when the Seven Towers want to annex you in the future, will you still dare to oppose it unanimously?

"Is it possible that only the Seven Towers can do this kind of thing, so I can't do it, and everyone here can't do it?"

Cross seemed unwilling to have his career that he considered to be forcibly interrupted, but now he was powerless to do anything about it, so he walked back and forth in the circular hall, as if venting this extremely suffocated anger.

And his words also left deep ripples in the hearts of everyone present. Indeed, the Seven Towers are already so powerful. Today, sanctions are launched on the grounds of adhering to tradition. In the future, they may not be able to launch sanctions in the name of reform.

Only those with strength have the right to speak. If the current Green Tower Alliance is strong, would the Seven Towers still dare to treat Cross with an attitude that is almost a public trial?

In response, Horn immediately retorted:

"The so-called situation in the North is all an excuse. The most difficult time in the past has passed. Can it be worse in the future?

"The Seventon Covenant is the foundation of Netheril's existence, and it is also the guarantee of your interests. I can tell you clearly here that if the Seven Towers take the lead in violating the covenant in the future, then you must unite to overthrow the Seven Towers.

"But before that, any behavior that violates the covenant will be regarded as a provocation to all the lords of Netheril. Cross, you don't have to quibble anymore, I just want to ask you -

"If the Seven Towers do the same thing as you now, will you be willing to obey such a new order?"

Cross did not answer this question, but the disdainful expression on his face already showed what he was thinking. The new order he led and the new order established by others were completely different concepts.

Xia Duo also asked himself the same question in his mind. If Seven Towers did exactly what he planned, would he be willing to obey such a new order?

It is not difficult for Xia Duo to answer this question. He has already reached the stage of knowing his true nature and can clearly understand his true intention. Does he want to see the ideal new world or enjoy controlling the fate of countless people with one hand? pleasure.

There is no doubt that what he really wants is the former.

If Qita is really aware enough to do the things he wants to do but may not be able to do, then what's the problem if he is willing to be driven!

But reality has no assumptions. At least for now, the Seven Towers are still far away from Xia Duo's requirement of "being a willing vassal"!

However, Horn just said that if the Seven Towers violate the covenant, everyone must unite to oppose it. This is somewhat beyond Sha Duo's expectations.

According to his judgment of Seven Towers, if the situation changes in the future, Seven Towers is really likely to take the initiative to merge.

When Horn said this now, he didn't know whether he was trying to eliminate Cross's last bit of luck, or whether it was true that the Seven Towers would stick to the old covenant from hundreds of years ago.

Although this does not mean that the old covenant can only remain unchanged and cannot be changed, but key clauses involving territorial independence may not be so easy to change.

The most likely change is probably that the situation will change in the future, and the vast majority of the lords of Netheril have unanimously requested the Sevington Council to make changes.

If this happens, then the Seven Towers may be the one everyone expects.

Xia Duo does not believe that this situation may occur in reality, especially the emergence of floating cities in the future, which will further strengthen the independence between different territories.

The biggest variable is the Southern Territory, which is preparing to truly popularize magic education. When the strength and reputation reach a certain level, the Great Xia Order will radiate throughout the entire territory of Nese. Isn't it a matter of course and expected by the public?

…

Perhaps because Horne exposed his selfish motives in public, Cross did not return to his seat in the end. He only said "You will regret it" and prepared to leave.

But before leaving, he seemed to have thought of something, turned around again, looked at Xia Duo, and said meaningfully: "Among all of you here, the one I am most optimistic about is you, Lord Xia Duo, and I hope we can cooperate in the future. Opportunity."

After saying that, he ignored the others and teleported away directly.

After he left, it was Kabor who stood up and said something on behalf of Cross, "Brother is willing to accept your sanctions because he does not want there to be unrest within Netheril and give the elves an opportunity, but Time will prove that my brother is right, so please don’t make a decision that your future self will regret.”

Kabol's words seemed a bit redundant. After all, no matter what he said or not, it would not change the established result. However, everyone in the auditorium may not know so much inside information.

His words can be regarded as a way of clearing Cross's name a little bit, and leaving a little foreshadowing for his future comeback.

In this regard, the attitudes of the great arcanists present were different. Horn and Harris were obviously dissatisfied. The rest of the people were either thoughtful and silent, or they tactfully defended Cross. .

In the end, the sanctions against Green Tower did not change at all. In name, Horn proposed the sanctions plan in the form of suggestions.

But in fact, this was almost a unilateral verdict from the Seven Towers. To this, others, even the few who had tactfully defended and interceded for Cross, did not express any objection.

As a result, the sanctions case that could barely be called "triggered by a communication device" finally came to an end. On behalf of the Austrian and French Federation, Iolum announced the results of the twelve previous accusations——

First, the Green Tower needs to evacuate all intruders from the relevant territory and the Mage Tower within the specified time; second, it promises that similar situations will not occur again in the future; and the third is to give the relevant parties due compensation.

It does not involve the handling of the Verdant Tower Alliance. After all, the Verdant Tower Alliance is not a formal organization, at least in the concepts of the Sevington Council and the Alfa Federation. It was originally formed by the Southern Territory to deal with the orc tide. defensive alliance.

Moreover, based on the Severington Covenant, the alliance between territories, the Severington Parliament cannot interfere.

But once the sanctions against the Seven Towers are implemented, the Green Tower Alliance will actually exist in name only.
