For the other dark elf families in Isopaton City, the bloody family battle that took place in front of them was really full of drama. After the Merle clan, which ranked second in family strength, carried out a well-planned assassination, they united with their own The vassals and allies launched this war against the seventh-ranked Hrudian family and maintained an extremely fast advance. It seemed that the headquarters of the Hrudian family would be completely wiped out within a few days.
However, just after this one-sided war lasted for a day, the Moller family, as the attacker, was inexplicably diverted by Senetya, the acting head of the Hrudian family. This man only had enchantment. There were only four girls from the talented Hrudian family, including herself, but they miraculously entered the prayer room of the Moeller family and successfully destroyed the statue, allowing Moeller, who was about to win the family war, to The Le family was completely defeated.
According to the usual practice, the Hrudian family should quickly take over all the properties belonging to the Moeller family, and then hold a grand ceremony to pray to the goddess Rose, hoping to win the favor of the goddess and establish the family's status in Isopadon. The city's new status, however, Senetia and her tribe stood still for three days. Apart from sending a few convoys to the Moeller family headquarters to transport back a lot of resources, they did not have any other expansionary means. This is really It's so abnormal,
This abnormal situation naturally aroused the suspicion of other families, so a small family full of ambition and adventurous spirit tentatively occupied an estate that originally belonged to the Moeller family. Logically speaking, the Hrudian family would The first time to launch a war against such an infringement of their own interests, but who knew that the small family who made such a provocative move and the instigators behind it waited anxiously for almost a day, the Hrudian family There was no reaction at all.
The weak actions of the Hrudian family made other families understand. They believed that the victor who defeated the Moeller family was probably forced to adopt a shrinking defense policy because of its own strength. The family took the opportunity to annex. I am afraid that such a good opportunity may not come again in more than a hundred years, so all the large and small families in the entire Isopadon City immediately started to act crazily and began to embezzle the property belonging to the Moeller family. ,
At first, everyone was a little worried, but their miscalculation would lead to counterattack from the Hrudian family. However, La Nina, who is in charge of family affairs, chose to continue to stick to the family headquarters under Hainam's persuasion, despite all opinions. , so the entire Hrudian family completely turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside. This kind of tacit consent allowed the external embezzlement and carve-up to quickly reach a peak: when the interests of the Moller family were not enough to satisfy these ambitious robbers. , someone finally set their sights on the property belonging to the Hrudian family.
On the fifth day after the Moeller family's prayer room was destroyed, the only thing the Hrudian family could control in Isopaton City was their own family headquarters. If the entire city was not closed under martial law at this time, I'm afraid that all the Hrudian family's properties, manors, mines, etc. outside the city will be divided up. From the outside world, although this seventh-ranked family won the first bloody family battle, its own The huge loss of strength will probably not allow them to survive the current crisis. Now it just depends on which family can't help but stand up first and start the second bloody family war. At this time, La Nina is in her own family. The headquarters welcomed an uninvited guest, he was Carolla, the sixth-ranked representative of Bosendenog in Isopaton City.
"La Nina, please listen to me. The family is very sincere about this marriage. We will not take the opportunity to annex you and your family. We only ask that you become our vassal. And I can assure you that the Hrudian family The previous forces will not be affected in any way. The magic items you create can be purchased by our Posendenog family at market prices, and as our allies and vassals, you will share the rewards from every war with us." Carlo La said to La Nina with a sincere face,
"This is impossible." La Nina shook her head resolutely and rejected Carolla's proposal: "Our family won a family war, but it was reduced to a vassal of another family. This is really unheard of. The funniest thing, Carolla, you don’t have to say it anymore, I will never agree to this condition, and my sister Senitya will never agree to it."
When La Nina said these words righteously, her spider-elf guardian Duerin also waved his arms and made a threatening gesture towards Carolla in front of her. Carolla didn't do anything for it. Standing there unmoved, he sighed and continued: "La Nina, I know what you are thinking, but do you know who is about to attack you? That is the third-ranked Ebony family and the third-ranked Ebony family. The Mohnders of Eight.”
"So what, we are the Khrudians who defeated the second family Moeller." La Nina responded disdainfully,
"No, you can't say that. The current Hrudian family must have lost a lot of strength. Otherwise, how could they not respond at all to provocations from the outside." Carolla shook her head and said: "La Nina, the Hrudian family You know the situation better than I do. Let me tell you something from my heart. If the family matriarch hadn't been worried that the Abney family and the Mohnd family would join forces to annex you, and their strength would increase greatly, it might quickly threaten our survival. No matter what, we, the Posendenog family, should not send you an invitation to join forces to fight against the enemy at this time."
"Joining forces, this is really funny. It's obvious that your Posendenog family wants to take advantage of the opportunity to annex us, but you come up with such a high-sounding reason." La Nina waved her hands vigorously and said loudly: "That's enough. You don’t need to talk sweet words anymore, please do as you please, I can tell you that the union between Khrudian and Bosendenog is absolutely impossible... "
"Who says it's impossible." Just when La Nina was about to finish her words, a male voice came over lazily, but it was Ryan. He walked into the reception room carelessly and sat down casually. Sitting on the chair pushed over by Senetia, as soon as La Nina heard Ryan's voice, her whole body seemed to relax. After all, the existence of Hai Nam is still a secret at this moment, so there can only be Lani in everything. Na has to bear it alone. This is definitely an unprecedented pressure for her.
"You, you are the one who was brought back by Sister La Nina a few days ago." When Carolla saw that Senetya had such respect for the male dark elf in front of her, she immediately realized that the matter was probably not the family's top brass. As you think, at least in the dark elf family that respects women, there is only one kind of person who wants to be treated with such respect by the patriarch, even if he is just the acting patriarch, and that is a super strong person who can control the fate of the family. Could it be said that Senet Ya and the others are so lucky to pick up this kind of character just once out of the city.
Seeing La Nina and Senitya consciously standing behind him, Ryan smiled slightly, and then said to Carolla: "I heard all the suggestions you just made. I think it is a very good one." I'm very interested in the proposal." Just as Carolla was about to speak, Ryan continued: "So I decided that your Bosendenog family can become a vassal of the Hrudian family from now on, and you can keep it. With our existing interests and sphere of influence, as long as you choose to be loyal, we will give you the war rewards you deserve."
"This is impossible, you, you are simply a lunatic." Carolla almost shouted these words,
"Here, look, you don't even want to accept the conditions you put forward, how do you expect others to accept them?" Ryan stretched out a finger and shook it casually in front of him a few times, and then continued: "But Don’t worry, I guarantee that you and your family will definitely accept my proposal, because the dead will not object, right?”
"You, you are a war threat." Carolla was stunned by Ryan's arrogant words. In his opinion, the Hrudian family dared to drag a neutral family into the war at this time, allowing him to go to the war at the same time. Facing more enemies, what else could such a person be but a lunatic? He stood up hastily and wanted to walk out, but was blocked by Hainam who was standing by in a cloak.
"Why, if the negotiation fails, do you plan to kill me as the messenger?" Carolla was slightly shocked, but she still maintained a calm tone and said to La Nina: "You are so beautiful in my mind, please don't destroy it. That impression."
Ryan saw that Carolla seemed calm and composed on the surface, but the tone of his words revealed his timidity, so the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He raised his hand and made a few gestures to indicate that Hainam did not need to stop him, and then looked at Carolla. The distant figure said: "Hey, we will visit you at this time tomorrow at the latest. We hope to receive your warmest hospitality."
"Teacher, should we regard the Bosendenog family as our first target?" Seeing that Carolla had left and she would no longer hear the conversation on her side, Senetya asked Ryan in a low voice. : "I heard him say that the Abney family and the Mohnd family will join forces to deal with us. If this news is true..."
Ryan interrupted Senitya's words rudely. He said to her and her sister La Niina: "Don't worry about these, whether they are rumors or things, just take it as the truth, La Ni." Na, are your tribesmen still obedient?" After getting a positive answer from La Nina, Ryan continued: "Very good, it's time to make those guys who think they take advantage of us pay the price, I declare Helu The Dean family’s counterattack starts now.”
