"Had it not been for your proposal, Speaker Lynn, to purge every city's nobility and put them on trial, this war would have likely ended long ago!" a senior Wizard lamented.
The church established by the false god had now completely collapsed, and even the Holy City had been conquered; anyone with a brain knew that opposing the Wizards was a dead end.
Therefore, those nobles had wanted to surrender long ago. All they needed to do was nod their heads, and the council could have taken over the entire empire without shedding a drop of blood!
The only condition was to retain certain privileges for the nobles. In exchange, they were willing to give up most of their wealth and cooperate with the council to eliminate the remnants of the church.
