Despite their conviction that hiding in the Holy Guild would offer them enough protection, Solocus and his group were terrified to consider that their unseen enemy had already known everything.
It's a disaster!
Solocus felt as if a venomous snake was watching him at that moment. The feeling of having every move of his observed by evil eyes he could not see unnerved him.
The elders of the West Pavilion are only moderately powerful. Who else could it be?
Suddenly, Solocus realized something amiss. “It's time to leave,” he shouted, leaping into action as he turned ghastly pale. “We're in danger!”
We should have acted before being exposed if we were to pull off by picking a fight with the Ecclesiastic Order. If the unseen force controlling everything knew about our intention ahead of time, then our presence would have exposed us instead.
“Charge!” A series of battle cries sounded from outside the Medical Guild at that moment, announcing the arrival of the Ecclesiastic Order's army.
The elite fighters of the Holy Guild and the detention center heavily surrounded them, with the same happening at the Cetus' headquarters.
Solocus and his group were stunned at how the tables had turned on them.
Initially, their surprise assault would have been enough to take down the Ecclesiastic Order with the current strength of the Cetus forces.
However, the table had been turned...
We're in trouble! This was not part of the plan. We'll be lucky even to leave this place alive.
“Solocus is the spy planted by the
Orthus in the Ecclesiastic Order!” “Magdalena and Xylas are the survivors of the Orthus!”
“The Cetus and the other deviant clans are hidden within the Holy Guild!”
Some within the crowd announced the incriminating evidence, which greatly angered the other Ecclesiastic Order members who were unaware of the news.
We have been taken for a ride for too long. This is a slight that cannot be tolerated.
Bristling with indignant rage, they were determined to tear Solocus and his group apart.
“How dare you kill members of the Medical Guild, Solocus? Even Master
Eusof died by your hand, didn't he?”
Even crimes committed by others are piled on to us. It looks like a battle is imminent.
“It doesn't matter what we have to say at this point,” Solocus declared in stoic resignation. “Let's go to war, then. Do you think you can stop us?”
As the Ecclesiastic Order lacked capable fighters, the Cetus force was clearly more dominant.
In addition to Eusof s absence, Solocus was confident with his chances to fight his way out.
However, forces of the Ecclesiastic Order fell silent.
IVe can't take this fight!
“What if I joined them?” said a voice suddenly like a crash of thunder.
Levi arrived, flanked by Azure Dragon and his group.
“Oh no, we are done for...”
The sight of Levi caused Solocus to see no hope but despair.
