Chapter 770
Finally, Azar could no longer stand this atmosphere and spoke in a deep voice.
"You all know the current situation."
"According to the guards' reports, Alhaitham, Cyno, Tighnari, and others are leading the public toward the Akademiya."
"The Eremites have defected to the enemy!"
"Do you have any good countermeasures?"
When he said this, he was gritting his teeth.
If it were just the common people, it wouldn't be a big deal.
In his view, a group of people without wisdom was completely insignificant.
But unfortunately, there were "traitors" guiding those people!
It's a pity his reaction was too slow; if he had discovered it earlier, if he could have captured Alhaitham and the others sooner.
They wouldn't have ended up in such a passive situation!
Besides that, there was the Eremite brigade!
He didn't expect that after spending so much money to hire them, they would turn around and abandon them.
It was simply too detestable!
Otherwise, even with traitors, they could have handled this situation!
"This kind of relationship based on employment is truly unreliable!"
"If we can get through this trouble, we must build an army that belongs to the Akademiya itself later!"
Azar thought bitterly to himself.
Subsequently, his gaze swept toward the other sages in the office.
But they still didn't say a word.
Seeing this, Azar was suddenly furious.
He slammed his hand hard on the table beside him.
"What time is it, and you're still silent?"
"Are you waiting for Cyno and the others to come and 'invite' you to speak?"
"Or do you want to experience the anger of those people?"
Hearing this, the expressions of the sages finally changed.
Just thinking about that scene made them shudder.
So they began to speak one after another.
"Now, people in Sumeru and even other nations all support the Lesser Lord Kusanali; we have no other choice."
"Even if we succeeded in creating a false god in the original future, it wouldn't work, let alone now."
"So we might as well surrender!"
"Yes, yes! Although we made mistakes, we haven't reached the point of the original future yet! Maybe the Lesser Lord Kusanali won't punish us too severely!"
"That's right! The Fatui Harbinger Tartaglia committed such a serious mistake and was only thrown into prison!"
"..."
The sages expressed their opinions in a jumble.
The meaning was the same.
That is, to surrender directly!
The timing, the location, and the people are all on the other side; how can this battle be fought?
If we don't surrender, are we waiting to starve?
It's better to show a good attitude of confession!
Of course, the most important thing is that they haven't reached the level of insanity in the original future.
Moreover, they are at best just accomplices!
The main culprit is Grand Sage Azar!
So there is a high probability of receiving a lighter punishment!
As for the Grand Sage...
Sorry, who are you?
When disaster strikes, who can still care about you?
Azar watched all this with cold eyes.
Although he was somewhat arrogant.
But to be able to become the Grand Sage, he certainly wasn't a mediocre person!
Naturally, he could guess the thoughts of these people.
Trying to push him out to take most of the blame, right?
Heh~
"Surrender?"
"Hmm, that is indeed a good idea!"
Azar praised with a smile, but in the next second, his tone suddenly changed.
"Although we haven't succeeded in creating a god, we have already prepared and implemented a part of it."
"Coupled with the things done in private over these years and the contempt for the gods..."
"This is not the situation in the original future!"
"The Lesser Lord Kusanali is also not the Lesser Lord Kusanali from the original future!"
"After the review by the screen, she will inevitably change!"
"Are you sure that she, as she is now, can simply let us go after we surrender?"
"I'm afraid... that's not necessarily the case~"
Hearing this, the sages were stunned for a moment, and then they all frowned tightly.
People know their own affairs best!
They have indeed done many disgusting things.
The current attitude of the Lesser Lord Kusanali is indeed unclear!
The Grand Sage's words still have some truth to them.
But what else can we do if we don't surrender?
We can't win a fight!
Escape...
That's even more impossible.
Thinking of this, a sage suddenly spoke up.
"Then what does the Grand Sage mean?"
The other sages also looked over.
Seeing this, Azar raised the corners of his mouth and stated his idea.
"It's very simple!"
"Go to the Sanctuary of Surasthana and ask the Lesser Lord Kusanali for a clear guarantee!"
"Let her let bygones be bygones regarding the past!"
"Correspondingly, we will also release her, and from then on, we will start to respect her!"
"After all, we are all people with wisdom!"
"We are the pillars of this country!"
"I think the Lesser Lord Kusanali wouldn't want this country to fall into chaos, right?"
Sage: "..."
Hearing this idea, the sages were somewhat speechless.
Just this?
A normal person wouldn't agree to these conditions, right?
If she agreed, where would she have any prestige left in the future?
Azar seemed to have guessed the sages' thoughts, so he stood up, pressed his hands on the table,
and then leaned forward to look at his colleagues.
