Chapter 699 The Moment Of Revelation (2)

"However, compared to the fate of tens of thousands of four-eared elves, even with your extraordinary strength, imprisoning you both seems to be the best course. Still, since you provide valuable information, I will cancel the order for your execution. Now, go on, continue telling us all you know about your conflict with the Four-eared elves," the Village Chief said.

Hearing the Village Chief's response, Seig exhaled deeply, 'Well, at least it was worth a try,' he thought.

He resettled himself on the ground, then glanced at Evadne, who also had a downcast expression.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Suddenly, an idea flashed through Evadne's mind, causing her to turn sharply towards Seig.

However, Seig immediately shook his head, signalling her to stop. "That would only make us appear more desperate," he cautioned.

He could discern from the desperate look in her eyes that Evadne was considering explaining their predicament to the Village Chief and the others above. However, Seig recognised that rather than provoking sympathy, such an act would likely make them look at them in distrust for going through such an extent just so they could save their lives.

If it was the outside world, Seig knew it would offer more context for their allegiance; however, he was more than aware of its effects on those living within a Sanctuary.

"A Runaway City never stops moving, so despite our numbers and the full support from the council, it was still a risky mission," Seig added, "However, even after the loss of my entire unit, who fought to the end, we soon realised that the Four-eared elves had somehow caught wind of our attack. They had already prepared an escape route, abandoning everything to flee."

"This led the Council to blame our unit for not finishing the task properly. Therefore, the last remaining member of my unit," Seig nodded towards the downcast figure of Evadne, " she and I were sent to complete the task. We had no choice but to pursue them and ensure the mission's completion."

The Village Chief furrowed his brows as he digested the information he had just received and couldn't help but ask, "Was that why you chased after them all the way here?" The Village Chief asked, frowning deeply.

After hearing Seig's words, he couldn't determine whether the man before him was loyal or a fool who would follow commands without questioning them.

Though the Village warriors also received commands without questioning, they knew when to question an order when it felt amiss. If they obeyed every order without question, then Stronghold Leader Drakar might have successfully manipulated the entire Rightward Stronghold in plotting his escape rather than what he had done.

Seig nodded, "Yes. Failure to obey the Council's command means death. Considering I had no other choice, my Lieutenant and I followed the Four-eared elves with the warriors arranged for us by the Council, taking them down bit by bit until we finally arrived at their location, realising we had been led to a sanctuary in the middle of nowhere. At first, I thought it might be some kind of trick to deter us, so I attacked..."

"If the attack was blocked, then you had confirmed the authenticity of the sanctuary. However, if it had been destroyed, you would have continued pursuing the Four-eared elves until every single one was dead," Stronghold Leader Zogar said, completing Seig's words for him.
