Time quickly arrived at the agreed time of midnight. Of course, Bantura still hadn't returned. At this time, Sword Sage Dashe, Sword Sage Komar, and Sword Sage Megrim were chatting with Forsythe in the name of catching up with him. Of course, the three of them hadn't seen Forsythe for a long time, so the things they talked about weren't strange. At least, Forsythe didn't notice anything wrong. But in fact, the three of them were very nervous about the situation around them. If anything happened, they would immediately attack Forsythe.
"Knock, knock, knock." Just when they were nervous, someone knocked on the door. The three of them looked over at the same time, but soon, Tyr's voice came from the door. "Lord Forsythe, it's me, Tyr."
"Oh, is there any news from Bantura? Come in first. "Forsythe nodded.
Tyr quickly opened the door and walked in. Then, he walked to Forsythe and reported, "Lord Forsythe, I really can't contact Master. I've tried many ways, but Master hasn't responded … Although this has happened before, this time is really … a little worrying …"
Tyr looked very anxious, or at least, that was what Forsythe looked like. His expression seemed to be telling everyone that something had really happened to Bantura.
"Lord Forsythe, it doesn't seem to be a simple matter," Sword Sage Dashe immediately said. Sword Sage Dashe immediately said. If they wanted to do it, they had to get rid of Forsus tonight. That was because other Saint-ranked experts might come tomorrow. At that time, it would be even more troublesome. They could only have a chance tonight. "It seems that Bantura has really gone to the Dragon Valley alone."
"Bantura, that idiot …" Sword Sage Megrim also said. Of course, she wanted to confirm the fact that Bantura had gone to the Dragon Valley.
"If that's the case, then we have to set off immediately." Forsythe went along with the topic and agreed. "Call Melghis and let's set off immediately."
"…" The three of them fell silent because they still didn't know whether Melghis had joined them or not. Li Huailin hadn't given them any news yet. However, at this moment, Tyr said, "I'll go find Lord Melglings."
It would be best to let Tyr take a look at the situation. But at this moment, there was a knock on the door again. Everyone immediately looked at the door, and Melghis's voice came from outside, "Lord Forsus, I'm coming in."
"Oh, come in," Forsus said immediately.
As soon as the door opened, Melglings' figure appeared. Everyone looked at Melglings nervously. The three of them were already in position. If anything went wrong, they would be ready to attack immediately.
However, Melglings' first sentence made everyone relax. "Lord Forsus, it's midnight. I wonder if you've received any news from Bantura."
If Li Huailin went to talk to Melglings, he would definitely tell Melglings about the current situation. Melglings should also know that Bantura was dead. Since he still asked about it, it was obvious that Bantura had joined his side. While the few of them heaved a sigh of relief, they also admired Li Huailin's persuasive ability.
"There's still no news from Bantura." Of course, Forsus wouldn't have thought that the people he brought with him would be persuaded to join the other side's camp within an hour. He immediately replied, "We were just about to look for you. Now it seems that Bantura might really have gone to the Dragon Valley alone, so let's set off immediately."
"Okay, Lord Forsus." Melglings nodded and didn't say anything else.
There was nothing else to prepare, so they set off immediately. Of course, the way they traveled this time was slightly different. This was because Li Huailin finally didn't have to be dragged away by Sword Sage Dashe. This was because Forsus waved his hands, and then everyone was enveloped in a layer of wind magic. Then, everyone began to float towards the east at a very fast speed. Even a Warlock Saint like Comar couldn't do this. It seemed that Forsus was really powerful.
Of course, Li Huailin also noticed this. Forsus was definitely more powerful than anyone else present. However, there were four of them here, so they probably wouldn't let him escape. Even so, Li Huailin wouldn't be careless to be safe.
After leaving Marcona City, they kept moving east. Marcona City was now actually considered a frontline city against the dragons because almost all the cities and villages further east had been destroyed by the dragons. Along the way, they saw cities that had been reduced to ruins. Forsus also sighed. "I didn't expect the dragons to be so dangerous. If I had known, I wouldn't have let them stay a hundred years ago."
"Then why did you decide to let them stay in the end?" Unexpectedly, the person who asked the question was actually Li Huailin. Moreover, there was a hint of doubt in his tone. Of course, Forsus also felt that it was a little strange. After all, in his eyes, Li Huailin was just a disciple of Sword Sage Dashe. According to his status, Li Huailin wasn't qualified to talk to him. However, Forsus didn't seem to mind and answered him.
"At that time, the war had just ended. The attack by the Undead had caused great harm to all the other races on the continent. Not only us Saint-tier beings, but the dragons and humans also suffered greatly. Everyone didn't want to continue fighting," Forsus said with a sigh.
"So, the Saint-tier beings now regard themselves as an independent race?" Li Huailin retorted.
This sentence was a little hostile. Of course, Forsus also sensed it. He was slightly stunned, and of course, the team immediately stopped.
"Alright, alright." Li Huailin waved his hand. "So, at that time, the Saint-tier Alliance actually had the opportunity to unify the continent and become the ruler of the continent. However, you guys didn't do that. Instead, you chose to hide from the world and set yourself up as a mere figurehead, breaking away from all the political systems on the continent. In fact, it was to protect yourselves, right …"
"…" Forsus didn't reply. He looked at the few people around him. No one wanted to interrupt Li Huailin at all. This situation was too strange. Forsus knew that there was definitely a problem, but he didn't know what the problem was.
"To put it simply, you guys are a bunch of selfish cowards." Li Huailin spread his hands and continued, "You guys clearly have power, but you stay out of the world. You don't play the role of leading the masses, nor do you stop the war. You only restrict yourselves to a box to protect yourselves. The so-called Saint-tier beings are really a kind of pitiful creature."
"Enough, what do you know!" Forsus shouted. "You haven't even experienced that kind of war. How can you say such things after trying your best in that kind of war?! Watching your friends and family fall one by one in front of you, it wasn't easy for the war to end. How can you still want to continue fighting?! "
"What you said does make sense." Li Huailin nodded. "However, this logic also depends on time. A hundred years ago, what you said was indeed very feasible. However, it's not a hundred years ago anymore. "
"You mean that the current era is an era where we have to go to war and rule by force? Are you kidding me? What era would desire war? "Forsus said immediately.
"Of course there is …" Li Huailin said. "It's said that war is the most wrong thing to do. Then why are there still so many wars in history, and there has never been true peace? Why do humans repeat the same mistakes? The answer is simple. It's because it's a necessary mistake. "
After a slight pause, Li Huailin continued. "Although peace is good, it softens people. After the older generation sets the rules, they force the younger generation to accept the existing rules, regardless of whether they agree or not. New ambitious people have already appeared, but they have no way of obtaining the upper hand. This is because the world is very peaceful, and the people who stand at the top are always the few old people. Therefore, these are the seeds of war. They are slowly waiting for the time to ferment, waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback. Old man, let me tell you something. Loving peace doesn't mean that you are avoiding war. If you play like this, no matter how strong you are, there will be a day when something happens. "
Forsus was stunned. He had to admit that Li Huailin's words made a lot of sense. Were the Saint-level experts avoiding war now? It seemed like it. They separated themselves from the people of the continent. I don't care about you, but you don't provoke me. This behavior seemed like a form of avoidance, but after all, this system had been in place for a hundred years. Was it really going to fail now?
"I have to say that your words are very persuasive," Forsus said with a smile. "It seems like all of you have been convinced by him, right?"
"I'm very sorry, Lord Forsus," Sword Sage Dashe admitted when he saw the situation.
"Melghis, even you?" Forsus was the most surprised by Melghis's reaction.
"…" Melgines didn't say anything. He just looked at Forsus. His silence was enough to explain everything.
"Good … Looks like all of you have come to your senses. From the looks of it … Could it be that Bantura is already … No, Lumlete before this might also be …" Forsus nodded. "Looks like I'll be the next one. Very good … Young man over here, if it's possible, at least let me know who you are."
"No problem." Li Huailin immediately took off his robe and said, "I'm the Duke of Aquitaine of the Human Empire, Ruolin. Perhaps I should add the title of Saint-level Destroyer in the future."
