Two-thirds of the men prosecute, as will be consequential (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ensue

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'will be consequential' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'two-thirds of the men prosecute' is the wordplay.
'two-thirds of the men' becomes 'en' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'prosecute' becomes 'sue' (I've seen this in another clue).
'en'+'sue'='ENSUE'

'as' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ensue that I've seen before include "Come next" , "Arise" , "Befall" , "Happen or come about as consequence" , "Follow as a consequence" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
