Chapter 227: Chapter 227: An Unstoppable War!
Imagine if Nathan suddenly turned into a scoundrel, the kind who would abandon his own family to achieve his goals. How devastated would they be? For a moment, everyone shivered with dread.
At that moment, Kenneth's face was streaked with tears. "Two years ago, I couldn't take it anymore, and I dropped the facade I had maintained for many years to confront my father."
"I told him everything, that I wanted to become the new head of the family, and The Oracle Chamber agreed. But..."
"I lost. I thought I had won over Martin's loyalty, but I later realized I couldn't do it. Even my closest allies were spies my father had left by my side."
"I had no choice but to follow the secrets left by our ancestors and come here to seize the Rootless Soul Soil, no longer concerning myself with the affairs of Cloudview County."
Look at this father and son.
Kenneth, a long-time member of The Oracle Chamber, was constantly thinking about saving Cloudview County. Michael, on the other hand, a Duke, was leading Cloudview County to ruin. Kenneth, such a man, was led by the nose, a truly lamentable sight.
Olivia closed her eyes, clenched her teeth, and remained silent.
Amelia glanced at her sister, narrowing her eyes, "Maybe you should have come to us earlier to eliminate Michael. There's still a chance now."
"With you here, you can reveal everything, whether it's suing in the capital or leading the experts of Cloudview County to take down Martin directly. Both are good strategies."
"Now... the advantage is on our side."
Everyone nodded in agreement, smiles of relief appearing on their faces.
Even Thomas from the third generation of Blackwood loudly said, "Yes, let's inform the surrounding counties... no, for such a vile man, we should be the ones to take him down ourselves!"
Kenneth gave a wry smile.
Just as he was about to speak.
Olivia opened her eyes and let out a long sigh, "It's too late, everything is too late."
As her words fell.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the ground shook, and the air was heavy with tension!
Everyone in Blackwood changed their expressions and looked outside the cave.
They saw.
Originally, many tribes were heading towards the destroyed Joy Beast tribe, but suddenly, all these tribes stopped in their tracks!
The cave was situated on high ground.
Everyone's eyes widened as they looked across the Endless Forest, where suddenly all the tribes seemed to have received a command at the same moment!
Terrifyingly tall trees, hundreds of feet high, uprooted themselves, shaking off rocks and dirt as giant beasts carefully moved through the Endless Forest, carrying druids towards the direction of Cloudview County!
This time.
There were more tribes than the three-sided tribal conflict two years ago, and they were stronger!
"Great-aunt... this..."
George swallowed hard.
Olivia sighed deeply, "The Oracle Chamber and the druids have a bigger appetite than we imagined."
...
[Special Event—An Unstoppable War!]
[Your family and the righteous of Cloudview County have tried to stop a war. You have outmaneuvered the chess players and won before. But you have never escaped the fate of being pawns. Cloudview County was just a pawn to distract the Emerald Empire, keeping all eyes on Cloudview County while you struggle to survive in a chaotic world.]
In front of the screen, Ethan clenched his teeth tightly.
Olivia said 'it's too late', but it's not too late, they had been very successful.
The only problem was, they were only focused on Cloudview County.
[Your descendant Larry reports to you, he saw it, the druids suddenly rushing into Starlight County!]
[Riley, being struck by heavenly thunder, reports to you, he saw Cedar County sending several priests who beat a Competent Force expert to death.]
[Your descendant Marcus reports to you, his master Warren Daoist went to the capital to report on the affairs of Cloudview County, mentioning the capture of a member of The Oracle Chamber. But he was chased by the capital's elites, and the last message sent back was that the Emerald Emperor was severely injured and in seclusion!]
"So, Cloudview County was just a small pawn."
His expression darkened, they had worked hard, trying to ensure Blackwood had peaceful days, just like these past few years, the whole family gathering together for fun. But now, they were still affected by the damned situation.
"Ding-a-ling."
Suddenly, the phone rang. Ethan turned it off; he wasn't in the mood. He knew the family was facing a severe crisis. "I need to go into seclusion and break through to the Competent Force level. Only then can I truly help my family!"
At that moment.
In the laboratory, Orion, dressed in a white lab coat, darkened his expression as he heard the 'The number you have dialed is switched off' message, almost ready to smash his phone.
Behind him, there came a burst of joyful laughter from the staff.
"We found it, haha, we found it, and there are ancient inscriptions on it!"
Orion hurried out to see a team member approaching, holding a silver coffin—an ability weapon, indicating the person's significant status.
All the staff were busy deciphering the inscriptions.
[We tried hard to prevent disaster from befalling our homeland, but we failed.]
[I am still proud.]
[Proud to have lived in this era, to have fought selflessly for the future of Azure Cloud, even in the darkest of futures, we still held onto hope.]
[Proud that I fought alongside Blackwood, standing behind the times.]
[And now, they are still fighting, carrying the will of all of us, standing against those who scheme from their high towers!]
Even though it was from a long-gone era.
Everyone looking at the inscriptions in the coffin could feel the solemnity of that time!
It seemed they were caught in a tremendous calamity, united and never giving up, even in death.
"This family..."
Orion murmured, having received various relics. It seemed this family was a very sinister one, their children trained to kill from a young age, emotionless, their aura filled with murderous intent.
Among them were corpse drivers, demons, despicable assassins, and poison masters... even groveling traitors.
They must have been a large family of dark cultivators.
Yet, they seemed to be leaders of their era as well.
