"Now, we can only wait for the nobles from all over the world to send representatives to come here, and then invite other members of the royal family to gather in the capital in the name of noble consensus, and then consider whether to depose Tempus."

Serena nodded helplessly.

Tempus has indeed become a dead dog now, and no one will look at him again.

But the nobles in the west, east, south and even the north all have their own thoughts and interests.

Under such circumstances, it is obvious that there will not be any local nobles who can achieve righteousness and become the representatives of the Marconians.

Under such mutual restraint, Tempus unexpectedly got the chance to stay on the throne—at least, no one wanted him to have any problems until he took responsibility for the defeat.

For this situation, Tempus also quickly made his own choice - pretending to be sick, or to be precise, refusing treatment, persistently being disabled.

According to what Walter brought out, he was only willing to receive treatment from trusted people, and unless someone he designated came here, he would rather be a useless person.

"So that guy Hudson knows him well?"

Serena's feeling about this is that Tempus probably just finds someone who, according to his understanding, is the least likely to deal with Serena's side.

In fact, Bishop Hudson had no intersection with Tempus before this.

Although this guy is a member of the noble faction, his relatives are only local nobles in the area directly under the jurisdiction of Tempus, not a court noble who is valued by Tempus.

Not only did Hudson have little friendship with Tampas, he even made it clear that he opposed this overly risky gambling behavior when Tampas set off.

From this point of view, there is no need for Serena and the others to express any dissatisfaction with Tempus' request.

Anyway, apart from Serena, the others would at most restore Tempus' eyesight. Without legs, he still couldn't become a king that could be recognized by others.

Therefore, in this regard, Serena just waited for Hudson to arrive, and didn't plan to do anything.

In fact, what Serena has been trying to do at this time is to find a way to redeem those captured soldiers.

Whether it's from the perspective of soothing people's hearts or the need for a resumption of the battle, she needs to bring these officers and soldiers back to China as soon as possible.

On the side of the Secret Law Alliance, Leonard is also persuading Pullman that they can put these people back first to show the sincerity of peace.

Of course, the ransom cannot be less.

Under the premise that the two parties almost hit it off, Serena quickly contacted Aurora, and the church came forward to arrange the ransom.

After all, among those personnel, there are not many nobles who are really capable of paying the ransom. Ordinary legionnaires simply cannot afford the money.

In order to prevent these people from entering the slave market, Aurora hastily organized a few fundraising rounds. At any rate, they raised enough funds within the time limit required by the Arcane Alliance and handed them over to Serena.

In this way, the captured more than 1000 legionnaires finally did not have to see the dawn of peace in the labor camps and slave markets.

In the cold wind, these poor, ragged and haggard guys were driven out of the camp gate by the alliance, and walked towards Said Pass with slow and hesitant steps.

They were not particularly happy about their release.

They all knew that what they encountered was a major defeat that the Kingdom of Marconia had experienced in a century.

After returning to China, there will definitely be no shortage of abuse and accusations from the Chinese people.

Not to mention, they are very likely to be sent to a military court for various reasons and bear the responsibility they should not have borne.

And nobles like Knight Ted didn't have any joy on their faces.

As a soldier, failing to win or die on the battlefield is the greatest shame.

Of course, many of them kept their useful bodies and fought all the way for legitimate reasons such as protecting the king and leading their subordinates to break through.

But whether the current king will recognize these things, they have no idea.

Tempus' performance at the last minute really disappointed everyone.

Because of this, these people remained silent until they saw Sai Deguan.

What is waiting for them ahead?

Chapter 16 Ask the Goddess to Testify

Just when this group of people, shrouded in anxiety and confusion, finally saw Guancheng, a white figure suddenly appeared on the top of the city.

In the blink of an eye, there was a voice amplified with the help of divine art, and it came over.

"I am Saint Serena, on behalf of the people of Marconia, I welcome all heroes home!"

People were stunned immediately.

hero?Is this talking about them?

They have just experienced a century-old humiliating defeat. After eating dog food for several days in the enemy's prisoner-of-war camp, they were kicked back like bereaved dogs.

Is this saintess wrong because she is too ignorant of politics and military affairs?

Many people had this idea, but soon, they were popularized by the people around them about Serena's glorious deeds.

There is no doubt that Serena is very expert, and it can even be said to be better than anyone here-after all, Serena still wins and returns in a worse situation.

Just when they were even more confused, Serena's voice sounded again.

"You have completed your tasks and fulfilled your responsibilities. Don't care about temporary victories. You have fulfilled your obligations to the country and the people."

"Believe me, you are worthy of the title of heroes!"

This time, some people took action.

A few loud ones walked out of the crowd and shouted in the direction of Guancheng.

"Sorry, Your Excellency, we know that we have let everyone down."

"We failed, this is an unquestionable fact. We are grateful for your consolation, but we..."

"We know how embarrassing we are..."

The voice gradually decreased, and finally brought out a little choking.

Obviously, even if they are all men, it would be sad enough to say such things by themselves.

"No!"

Serena's voice sounded again.

"Everyone is doing well."

"As far as I know, in the offensive phase of the entire campaign, everyone has been doing very well and can be called impeccable."

"Even in the final retreat stage, it was full of touching stories. Many people gave the only supplies to their comrades before rushing to the enemy's formation."

"Although it is inevitable that some of these people will be exhausted and captured, but who can do this kind of behavior, is there any real hero?"

"Even at the end, didn't everyone send the king away desperately, and then bravely launched the final counterattack?"

"Believe me, there are no losers among you. You have all overcome the dark side of human nature and won the most glorious victory in your life!"

After hearing these words, the crowd became restless.

Indeed, these are all true.

As the elite teachers forged by Marconia's century-old glory, these soldiers' auras are all first-class.

Even in the case of more than half of the casualties, they rarely escaped, let alone voluntarily surrendered.

And, indeed, those who took part in the final breakout felt themselves worthy of the king.

They have already sent the king away with the determination to die!Is there anything else to blame?

However, although everyone thinks this way and feels that they have no regrets, the key to this kind of thing is not what they think...

"Perhaps you are right. But who will prove it?"

Someone yelled it out.

"Let me prove it. Everyone here can prove it for you!"

After Serena shouted this sentence, she looked at the reactions of these people.

To her dismay, it didn't look like these people were much cheered up.

That's right, although she, Serena, can prove whether a person is meritorious, but she is alone, and she is still the chief saint who everyone usually has no way to contact. Who can ask her to prove anything on a daily basis.

As for the people in the fortress... I'm sorry, everyone doesn't know each other, how can they have the face to find someone to prove something?

They are not children, who can't figure out the way?

Serena pursed her lips.

She really wanted to take all these people under her command.

Those who can be led by Tempus are the most elite troops.

The experience and lessons that these survivors who have survived the battle to send to the recruits are extremely valuable.

No matter who Serena wants to fight or not, it is very meaningful if these experiences can be passed on and spread among her subordinates.

But in this situation, if you don't use some means, it may be difficult to win the hearts of these people.

After all, these people are also disheartened, and it is difficult to be moved by a few words.

And more powerful persuasion...

Serena suddenly thought of something.

"Then, let me ask the goddess to prove it!"

As soon as these words were uttered, everyone inside and outside the fortress was puzzled.

Goddess proof?How does the goddess prove it?

Is it possible that the saint Serena can still invite the goddess to come into the world?

Just kidding, if this kind of thing can be done, there will be few people in the whole continent who are not believers of St. Gillian's Church.

At this time, Serena also explained loudly.

"As we all know, in the most critical moment, the goddess will reward the most outstanding heroes with weapons made of divine power to help them defeat evil."

"If everyone here can receive the weapon bestowed by the goddess, is that enough to prove that everyone is a true hero?"

Serena intends to use this exaggerated legend to create the scene she wants.

She has just been able to use the divine technique that bestows divine weapons.

As long as everyone agrees with this, then she can really let these soldiers have a magical weapon-although it can last for more than ten minutes, but that is enough.

Serena believed that, given the popularity of the legend of Saint Gillian among the Marconians, this proposal should be accepted.

Sure enough, within a few seconds, the people below became excited.

"Really? The goddess will really give us such honor?"

"Well, let's pray and see."

After saying this, Serena knelt down on the top of the wall and prayed with the most devout expression.

And the more than 1000 people below also knelt down on the ground at the same time, piously praying for the approval of the goddess.

They need this so badly!

"Saint Gillian, please bestow these brave warriors with weapons that can cut through evil!"

Following the last few prayers, powerful divine power condensed in mid-air, and then turned into countless weapons condensed by brilliance, falling like raindrops.

The survivors who were praying just now stretched out their arms in surprise, and held the magic soldier floating in front of their eyes.

"Goddess, you didn't give up on us!"

"Really, I hold it!"

The crowd suddenly became restless.

But Serena frowned.

'I always feel that someone glanced at me...is it an illusion? '
