Before anyone could devise a course of action, Percival sternly reminded the attendees. "Do you people think it is possible to overthrow me?"
His eyes scanned the room. "Have you forgotten who possesses the most military power here?"
His voice cut through the hall like a blade.
Nobody feels comfortable facing such a naked threat from Percival. However, it can't be said that his move wasn't effective.
Many were intimidated by Percival's words, destroying every possible idea that dawned in their minds.
Only Johann maintains his calmness. He quickly reassures the people in the hall.
"Don't be swayed by his empty threats. The number of elite knights under Percival's command is comparable to some of our own forces here. The only difference is that he can use his title as duke to rally the commoners to his cause."
Johann paused to allow his words to sink in.
Everything he said was true.
