Chapter 1248 - The Duty Of A Ruler (3) (2/2)

They had also invited all the Grand Tutors. In the various nations, the status of the Grand Tutor was on par with the ruler’s. In the eyes of some citizens, the Grand Tutor was even more respected than the ruler.

Even if they fought to the end, just one word from the Grand Tutor and the military troops would be mobilized…

“You are now the only ones who know the genuine face of the Divine Temple. If you all die here, your kingdoms will really fall into the Divine Temple’s hands. To fight back, you must live. That is the crucial point.” Ji Fengyan looked seriously at everyone. That was why she had quickly spoken up earlier. She did not wish to see the other rulers killed off.

“But what use is it even if we live?” That ruler’s att.i.tude had softened after he understood Ji Fengyan’s intentions.

They were being trapped inside the Sa Er palace, which a large number of guards surrounded. To escape would be an extremely difficult endeavor?

At that, everyone looked towards the Sa Er Emperor.

“Sa Er Emperor, are you really in cahoots with the Divine Temple! How could you!”

The Sa Er Emperor had remained silent all this while. Faced with the group’s questions and condemnation, he only gave a bitter laugh.

Ji Fengyan said, “You are all mistaken. If the Sa Er Emperor was really in cahoots with the Divine Temple, he wouldn’t be trapped in the hall together with us.”

“Come to think of it, the Sa Er Emperor must have been under the Divine Temple’s threat. Have you already lost control over the Kingdom of Sa Er?” The Mo s.h.i.+ Emperor suddenly asked.

The Sa Er Emperor nodded with a grim smile.

An as-I-expected expression crossed the Mo s.h.i.+ Emperor’s face.

It stunned everyone. They had thought the Sa Er Emperor was just being subtle in front of the Divine Temple. Never did they expect that Sa Er was the first kingdom to suffer this nightmare.

“In reality, I am in the same situation as everyone, being trapped here. The guards outside are not part of Sa Er’s troops, but are the loyal subjects of the Divine Temple.” The Sa Er Emperor explained with another bitter smile.
