When the supreme elder of the Saints Killing Sect was being brutally attacked, Mortimer looked in the direction of his allies and saw that not only that man was suffering.
Of the 14 individuals fighting the 19 opponents, almost all of them were already badly wounded in less than 3 minutes of battle, to the point that, with one look, this sect master realized that they could die if he did nothing.
Mortimer knew that his situation was terrible, but he was not stupid to think selfishly at this point. If he simply abandoned these people now, he would lose all his allies and no longer have a place in the Flaming Empire.
Even if he threatened the people of this place with his powers, he wouldn't be able to rule or become a respected ruler.
The people of this entire state would choose to side with Minos and not with him!
