The military meeting came to an end, and the relationships among the nobles of the Fifth Army had significantly improved. The words of Earl Piers shattered everyone's illusions.
Facing the colossal enemy that was the clergy, everyone now stood together like grasshoppers on a string. The military alliance, which had been on the verge of collapse due to the distribution of benefits, was once again solidified at this moment.
Wanting not to die in a confusing manner, it was necessary to keep each other's backs. Even if the clergy wanted vengeance, they couldn't do it overtly, they could only resort to small actions behind the scenes.
For example, the next rebellion of the cult might originate from the territory of some unfortunate fellow.
Waiting for the kingdom's reinforcements were clearly untrustworthy. With the examples of the nobles from Leyton and Wharton, nobody believed that Earl Piers would change his ways afterwards.
