He finally understood, in the entire Temple, only the Great Clan Elder was irreplaceable, everyone else, including himself, could be replaced.
Adding that they had deep roots, Temple could not be as strict as they were with the new Prestigious Families, and both parties maintained a subtle tacit understanding.
All of his attention was placed on one thing.
When the ceremony ended, many of the clan elders who were familiar with Jia Ya stepped forward to bid farewell to him. Jia Ya maintained a faint smile the entire time, he was confident and calm, giving people a strong sense of confidence.
After he left the Saint Continent, Sacred Son Charles was in charge of the Saint Continent's defense. Although he was worried about the safety of the Saint Continent, but thinking about the many armies and Sacred Son Charles' own strength, he felt more at ease.
Temple only had one Sacred Son, but he knew that as long as Temple was willing, no, as long as the Great Clan Elder was willing, Temple could produce many Sacred Sons in a single night. He knew that there were many other candidates behind him, all of them were meticulously selected, and all of their talents were not inferior to his, it was just that all of the resources were occupied by him. But, once the Great Clan Elder lost confidence in him, all of the precious resources would leave him and land on the other candidates.
Tang Tian did not have the time to care about all of that, he did not even care about the conflict with the Qiu Family, and handed it over to Ji Ze.
Jia Ya patted Sacred Son Charles' shoulder: "I'll leave the Saint Continent to Your Highness."
"It's fine." Sophie shook her head, she changed the topic: "Your Highness, we need to make the various families maintain restraint. Recently, there have been a few conflicts in the Saint Continent, like the Qiu Family, they have a conflict with the Mace Field Tradings Family. Although their conflict is more restrained, and did not violate the Holy Bell's ban, but if we do not take any measures, the conflict will escalate. "
Jia Ya's army's mission was not to head to the Southern Alliance, but to the Wei Ye Guan Continent. There was no news of Mu Zhi Xia, his whereabouts were unknown, the Wei Ye Guan Continent was in danger, and needed a powerful military general to hold down the fort. In the current Temple, only Master Jia Ya could shoulder such a heavy responsibility. The clan elders knew of the importance of this mission, although it would weaken the Saint Continent's defenses, and cause their safety to be threatened, but they knew that if the Savage Continent's army were to enter the Honorable Martial Continent, that would be the most terrifying thing.
The clan elders stared at the direction of the army, unwilling to leave for a long time. For some reason, a strange feeling rose in everyone's heart, even Master Jia Ya was being sent out …..
~ Chie is in the Saint Continent! ~
The army moved.
Ever since the last time Charles was whipped, the rumor that the Great Elder was dissatisfied with Charles' performance and might depose Charles had quietly spread in the Divine Temple.
To the Qiu Family, Mace Field Tradings was truly a small family. In the Honorable Martial Continent, the hierarchy between the prestigious families was extremely strict, and the Qiu Family was a top notch prestigious family, and a small family like the Mace Field Tradings would never have any conflict of interest.
"These guys really don't know when to stop." Charles' tone was dissatisfied. At this time, these guys actually still had the mood to cause trouble.
Sophie said, "It has something to do with the Elizabeth family. The Elizabeth Family suffered a loss at the hands of the Mace Field Tradings Family, and Qiu Yun Qi was rather interested in Claudia, and helped her out, but who knew that the Mace Field Tradings Family would not give in to the Qiu Family. "
However, at a time like this, no one was blind enough to suggest such a thing. Now, Temple needed to rely on the Prestigious Families, as Temple's strength was already proven to be insufficient to win the war. Temple needed to pull more people onto the war chariot, although it was painful to share the spoils of war, but the most important thing was to win the war.
As long as they obtained the resources, the candidates would grow at an astonishing speed, and could easily replace him.
The orderly army was solemn and silent, Jia Ya's expression was solemn, the light aura that resembled snowflakes scattered down, causing the scene to have a sacred feeling. The Clan Elders stood on the circular stairs, watching the army that was fully equipped and ready to move out.
Sophie was speechless, ever since the Great Clan Elder whipped Charles, Charles had become slightly sensitive and weak. His self-confidence seemed to have disappeared overnight, and he had become paranoid, causing Sophie to not know how to console Charles. Sophie knew the reason, but she was helpless.
Charles was afraid.
Charles' position had always been stable, but that stability came from the Great Clan Elder's support. Since young, the Great Clan Elder had favoured him, and his path had been smooth sailing without any setbacks, thus the Clan Elders had always praised him. He didn't expect that after a failed mission and a lashing, everything would change.
Charles who returned to his study sat on a chair, his expression not looking too good.
Jia Ya was famed for his defense, and with the trust of the Great Clan Elder, he had always been guarding the center of the army. He had a quiet and indifferent personality, and stood aloof from worldly affairs, although everyone respected him, but most of the time, this Great General did not have any sense of existence, and was always forgotten by everyone.
At the moment, Charles was like a wild beast trapped in a cage, he was furious but powerless to struggle.
"Don't care? How can I not care? " Charles suddenly flew into a rage, his handsome face looked extremely sinister: "Am I that unreassuring to them? There is the Honorable Martial Banner of Knights here, and so many prestigious families, all these old men, why are they so worried about me? Am I that useless in their eyes? "
Regardless of whether it was the Southern Alliance's legendary Heaven's Road passage, or the Gold Continent Bandits that were roaming everywhere, or the Sin Domain survivors that had risen from the ashes, none of them were as important as the Wei Ye Guan Continent. The Savage Continent's entry into the Pass, just thinking about it caused people to tremble, it would truly shake the foundations of Temple.
But at that moment, looking at Jia Ya's army that was fully equipped and ready to move out, the Clan Elders realized that their hearts were actually filled with unease. Previously, no matter how dangerous the situation was, including the pressure from the Savage Continent's army, they did not have any worries about their own safety. It was not that the current Saint Continent did not have any armies, on the contrary, with the ringing of the Holy Bell, all the armies in the world had gathered in the Saint Continent, and there were armies everywhere, but it still did not make them feel completely safe or at ease.
It was the same for Jia Ya's army, the most eye-catching army in the Saint Continent was the Honorable Martial Banner of Knights, they held a high position, every single one of them were powerful martial artists, the symbol of invincibility. The glorious Honorable Martial Banner of Knights was the dream of the youths.
She replied solemnly: "Yes!"
After presiding over the ceremony, the Clan Elders had completely forgotten about his existence, the worry on their faces revealed the uneasiness in their hearts. And to Charles, the uneasiness was a lack of trust in him, because he was the one in charge of the defense of the Saint Continent.
The Honorable Martial Banner of Knights formed a law enforcement group and started to patrol the Saint Continent, in a short span of a day, they had quelled over 10 disputes, over 40 people who did not listen to them were killed, and two prestigious families were stripped of their qualifications.
If they lost, they would lose everything.
Sophie's eyes lit up, the decisive and confident Majesty in front of her was the Majesty she was familiar with.
Charles noticed the worry on everyone's faces, and silently left.
Charles bowed slightly and spoke solemnly: "Do not worry, the light is eternal!"
"Send out the Honorable Martial Banner of Knights." Charles said: "Tell them, I do not care what grudges they have in the past, at this critical juncture, whoever dares to cause trouble, Temple will not tolerate it. Make the Honorable Martial Banner of Knights prepare yourselves, whoever does not listen to my advice and disobeys Temple's orders will be killed without mercy! "
Charles could not help but admire the Great Clan Elder's shrewdness, before the situation had deteriorated, he had already decided to ring the Holy Bell.
The Great Clan Elder and Jia Ya had talked until late last night, and did not appear today. Sacred Son Charles presided over the ceremony, and he was the last to go up.
The Five Great Generals had set off at the same time, it was something that had never happened before, Temple had never been so empty before, it was a place that made people feel uneasy.
In that moment, the armies that had gathered in the Saint Continent became obedient.
In his heart, there was nothing more important than this.
The rumors were not scary, but what truly made Charles panic was that a few of the Clan Elders were affected, and their attitudes towards Charles had a subtle change. He had even heard some of the Clan Elders discussing privately, thinking that he did not have the ability to take over the Great Clan Elder's position in the future.
The ashen faced Charles finally calmed down, his expression returned to normal, and he spoke to Sophie apologetically: "I am sorry Sophie, I should not have gotten angry at you."
Charles frowned: "The Qiu Family? Why would they have a conflict with a small family like Mace Field Tradings? "
Sophie who came in looked at him and said: "Don't mind them."
He started to feel the pressure, and his temper became even more irritable.
The Great Clan Elder held supreme authority in Temple, and even Charles' position as a Sacred Son could be removed by the Great Clan Elder, as long as he was willing.
And inside Temple, the voices to suppress the top notch Prestigious Families had never stopped.
When Jia Ya's Army's fleet disappeared into the distance, the Clan Elders left in groups of twos and threes, their faces were filled with indescribable loneliness and worry.
The Clan Elders then understood, the army that usually did not have any sense of existence, was the true reason why they felt at ease.
Jia Ya nodded his head and bowed to Charles, he then turned and gave the order: "Move out!"
Charles knew that he could not allow it to continue, the friction between the Prestigious Families would become more and more intense, and once they were to fight, it would become uncontrollable. At that time, Temple would be completely passive, and punishing the Prestigious Families would only cause them to feel resentment.
Temple.
But the current problem did not make Charles feel relaxed, the grievances between the Prestigious Families were extremely complicated, and some of them even dated back a few hundred years. All of these families did not give in to each other, and it was extremely easy for conflicts to occur, and the conflict between the Qiu Family and Mace Field Tradings was just a small part of it.
The long time, the long distance, the intense yearning, the anxious waiting, the trekking day and night, the never-ending battles, all of it was for this moment of reunion.
The relationship between Temple and the Prestigious Families was not as good as the outside thought, especially the top notch Prestigious Families. They were different from the new Prestigious Families, they no longer needed the recognition of Temple, and furthermore, they had many conflicts with Temple, with many conflicts of interest. All of the top notch Prestigious Families rose up when the Honorable Martial Continent was first established, and had contributed greatly to the Honorable Martial Continent, thus they did not fear or respect Temple.
