Chapter 378: -131- Open and honest

"Madness! The Legris Family has truly gone mad! They no longer even adhere to the norms of war. Are they planning to make enemies of all the nobles?"

"Disgrace! It’s a disgrace to the nobility! Lord, the rebels’ barbaric actions are a flagrant disregard for the Holy Code. They must be severely punished!"

"The Legris Family...must pay the price!"

"Lord! My Gerard family is willing to lead the troops into battle first!"

"Our Perrin Family is also willing to serve as the vanguard!"

In the command camp of the Castel Alliance Army, the nobles were outraged upon hearing that the envoy had been killed, nearly causing an uproar, each clamoring to lead their troops into battle.

In the Mireya Continent, since Charlemagne I, the founder of the Yonette Empire, established the noble system, the human nobles, as the greatest beneficiaries of the noble system over the thousand years, have always held their noble honor in the highest regard, constantly emphasizing order and rules.

The destructive power of Transcendent abilities is too great, and the noble class does not have enough population to expend on wars. Moreover, due to the nobles intermarrying over centuries, each noble family is interconnected, so during war times, the nobles tend to avoid killing each other outright.

Winning the war, capturing the opponent alive, and then setting a reasonable ransom price for their release is the norm.

Today I may win, but tomorrow you might prevail. Leaving room for mutual benefit is common knowledge among the Mireya nobles.

Yet today, upon seeing the rebels execute the envoy without hesitation, the nobles of the Northern Land were infuriated.

There, in the human world of Mireya, only nobles are qualified to serve as envoys in war negotiations.

That is to say, the Legris Family executed a noble who was supposed to negotiate.

For the nobles, the Legris Family’s act of executing their envoy undoubtedly severely violated the war protocols that have been customary among the nobles for centuries, an act both dishonorable and ignoble.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the tent was one of intense fury and outrage.

Of course, whether the Northern Land nobles were genuinely angry because their honor was tainted, or because they saw a significant disparity in strength between the enemies and became confident and eager to prove themselves, remains unknown.

Perhaps, it was a bit of both.

Charlotte sat in the main seat, quietly watching as the nobles vehemently denounced the barbarity of the Legris Family, each vying to volunteer for battle.

Perhaps as a transmigrator, she did not possess the same ingrained sense of noble honor that the Mireya nobles had from birth, and her reaction was not as strong.

Angry?

Somewhat, but it was manageable, considering that in the history of Blue Star, there were far too many instances of envoys being executed.

Rather, it was quite unlucky for the self-volunteered envoy.

Normally, serving as a pre-war negotiator was a rather relaxed and honorable duty for Mireya nobles, as both warring parties tended to politely send the envoy back. Charlotte remembered that many families were competing at the time of selection. Little did they know, it would cost him his life.

Hmm... Which family was it again?

"Lord Angus, the envoy who was sacrificed...which family did he belong to?"

Charlotte turned to the nearby Commander-in-Chief of the Alliance, asking.

Although she was nominally the supreme commander of the allied forces, she often only observed and listened without actively taking command of the troops.

During the march, the route of the army, schedule arrangements, and potential battle plans were all formulated by Commander Angus, Viscount Lien Castel, and other nobles.

Leaving professional matters to professionals, Charlotte knew well that she had no experience in commanding troops.

As a lord, all she needed to do was master delegating, she was no "micro-management master," there was no need to complicate things for herself.

Like dispatching the envoy for negotiations, she had merely nodded in agreement and hadn’t personally selected anyone.

After all, in her view, this inevitable battle to eliminate the rebel forces of Castel and the infiltrated power of the Blood Demon Church needed no negotiation.

"Lord, it was someone from the Lien-Castel family, Viscount Lien’s nephew, Knight Bare," Baron Angus replied somberly.

Charlotte...

Viscount Lien-Castel’s nephew?

Charlotte couldn’t help but glance at the Old Viscount on the other side, observing his somber and pain-stricken expression, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Seeing his angry yet pained demeanor, Charlotte felt somewhat guilty; after all...she never really intended to negotiate, the dispatch of the envoy was merely to appease the nobles’ wishes.

"Viscount, please accept my condolences..."

After a moment’s thought, Charlotte still spoke up to offer some comfort.

Viscount Lien-Castel took a deep breath, his voice heavy:

"Lord, thank you for your consolation. Bare died for the honor of the nobility, a glorious death..."

"The Legris Family has betrayed the lord, defiled the nobility’s honor, and no longer deserves to be the northern nobles’ lord. Please order our troops to annihilate them!"

"Call to arms! Suppress the rebellion!"

The other nobles echoed in agreement.

Observing the outraged nobles, Charlotte looked around and noticed the Alliance’s Commander Angus slightly frowning, seemingly contemplating something.

A thought crossed Charlotte’s mind:
