Our pursuit of Matthias has not been... purposeful, as much as inevitable. The beacons are located east. He has constructed his alliance and its points of strength east. We do not give chase as much as inevitably traverse deeper and deeper into his strongholds.

( Then softened: )

Along your way, you may have noticed your group has had a propensity to largely undo or become intimately acquainted with the work of Matthias'... associates. Typically, eradicating parts or the totality of their endeavours.

If Matthias is looking to convince you to represent the merits and virtues of the dead, it is likely because you have collectively proven too irritatingly proficient at interference. And perhaps too strong for him to execute in one coup.

( Then, matter-of-factly: ) It's for the better if you did not immediately contradict him during his efforts of persuasion. No doubt, he would have felt the only alternative to convincing you would have been killing you.
