After the people in the surrounding area were silent for a while, seeing the body of one of the local experts with his head destroyed, Minos said. "Positions have consequences.
No one here was forced into anything. I gave you the option not to stand against me and told you what would happen to those who acted against my forces.
So don't tell me about forgiveness, that your leaders were wrong, or that I am unfair.
I am not doing anything new here. Then take on the weight you judged was not weighing when you made your decisions earlier."
Those who had done something against the Gray Clouds Sect heard that and were frozen in terror, thinking of doing nothing now so they would have a chance to escape later.
Those who had only sided with Mortimer but not acted against Minos were worried but still hoped to keep their lives and receive only financial and political punishment.
