Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 628 - 480 Accountability

Morphie spoke calmly and initiated the conversation, "Our initial instruction was to escort the military marshal out of the zone, Marshal Weslin."

"Then why didn't you transfer Weslin out immediately after receiving him? Who instructed you to act beyond your orders?"

"No one instructed us." Morphie responded emotionlessly, "It's just that we felt there was still hope for saving that castle, so perhaps it was worth a try."

After spending a long time in the city center, even a child would have to possess some political savvy.

Morphie understood his and Kiro Lan's positions. Even if they took all the blame, it wouldn't have much impact on them.

Not to mention that the eventual outcome of the incident was positive.

Outcomes can justify intentions, but intentions cannot justify outcomes.

However, the inquisitive elder was relentless, determined to find an absolute scapegoat for possible future accountability, "So ultimately it was you who saved everyone in the castle?"

Morphie looked intently at the other party, his gaze sharp as a sword, "The castle was ultimately saved, but not by our own hands."

In the midst of speaking, Morphie felt a twinge of pain in his heart.

"So your actions were meaningless, right? Because of your delay, Marshal Weslin is still in a comatose state. Do you admit your guilt?"

"We do not admit guilt." Aglaya, who was sitting next to Bai E, suddenly stood up, "Their assistance played a critical role. Without their aid, General Bai E would have had a hard time liberating the entire castle."

"But who authorized them to save the castle? Lady Aglaya, you were involved throughout the process, so you must know what were the initial orders given to the two Saint Heirs? As for General Bai E…" The old man's sharp gaze then turned to Bai E, who was sitting composedly next to Aglaya, "General Bai E, please explain why you were not in the military area on guard duty, but instead entered the city secretly without orders?"

Bai E replied without emotion, "To protect the Marshal."

"Humph!" the elder snorted coldly, turning to fire at the other group, "Then what about the Arbitration Place? What role did you play in this event? Just watching from outside? Stationing so many people permanently on guard, yet completely unaware that the demons had hollowed out the interior?! Following the incident, you even appointed two utterly untrustworthy individuals for important tasks. What exactly have you been doing!?"

Aglaya, who had sat back down, stared at the elder who was speaking, and explained to Bai E in a low voice, "These people are firing all around to distribute the blame and to frame the core cause of this catastrophe as a human operational error, rather than an inherent hazard of the castle... Such malice!"

Bai E responded expressionlessly, "Thank you for the advice, Lady Aglaya."

As the person fully responsible for the Arbitration Place's action, Arnold, a man of rigid temperament, stood up furiously in response, spraying saliva, "To preserve the existence of the castle, even our own people have become the nourishment for the demons' essence. Demons are pervasive, and I had long proposed the elimination of the castle!"

"Nonsense! If you really had no means to deal with the castle, then why were two Saint Heirs sent out to take action?"

"That's because they were still in their study period, not exposed to more... to more details of the city."

"If it can be done once, it can be done twice! If the Saint Heirs you trained could enter, why couldn't others? Ultimately, it's because your talent reserves are insufficient and your contingency plans are lacking, leading to the numerous sacrifices following the castle incident!"

"To have us stationed in a place that will surely breed demons is a desecration of every officer's mission! If not for shift monitoring, we wouldn't have enough hands!"

"That's your Arbitration Place's internal resolution and has nothing to do with this matter! Guarding the castle is your entire institution's responsibility, and such a great oversight now is a result of the Arbitration Place's inefficiency!"

Arnold had bloodshot eyes and looked furious, "You have no idea what kind of opponent we faced this time!"

The grand demons have a thousand faces!

An ultra-dangerous high-dimensional demon whose mere images could erode everyone!

At the time, those present had no way to handle it, and besides the survivors in the castle, those outside were the enforcers from the Arbitration Place, who deal with demons daily and did not care about the potential risks.

However, now in the council chamber, there were plenty of high-ranking individuals without Spiritual Energy talent.

Not to mention complete corruption; even if merely one of them had been infiltrated by a demon, it could cause unimaginable disaster to the city.

The Arbitration Place has always been like this, undertaking the most dangerous and troublesome tasks in the city and always unable to make their own difficulties public due to the nature of demons.

"Let it go." An old voice arose from a corner, "I've set up a mental filter Array around the meeting place. You'll forget everything once you leave. Let it go."

Following the voice, everyone looked and saw only a young girl pushing an elderly man in a wheelchair slowly entering through the passageway.

Someone exclaimed in shock, "Judgment Chief Nolanitz!"

"How come even he was invited?"

Franca, pushing Nolanitz's wheelchair, caught sight of Bai E in the crowd and cheekily winked at him.
