Mother Dresinti of the Vigros family stood in the family prayer room, silently staring at the huge magic image in front of her. In just two days, this noble and elegant dark elf patriarch became much older. Now she looks more like an old woman who has entered the aging stage. The skin on her face is no longer smooth, her long and silky hair has become fluffy, and her tall and straight body is even slightly rickety.
The person who caused all these changes was Maris, the matron of the Hrudian family in the magical image. After successfully performing the sacrificial ceremony two days ago and receiving the dark blessing from a Spider Queen attendant and the goddess Rose, this Matron Maris blew the battle horn against the Vigros family and its affiliated camps on the spot, and within a few hours gathered tens of thousands of soul golems, affecting the future distribution of power in the entire city of Aesopaton. A bloody family war is about to break out.
Mother Maris did not launch a general attack in a hurry, but instead hoarded heavy troops and approached step by step. At the same time, she waited for other families to make their choices. She was invited by Mother Maris to participate in the Horudian Family Sacrifice Ceremony. The ten dark elf families who were watching the ceremony did not hesitate to stand on the side of Matron Maris. Among them, the matron of the family who had defected from Vigros was the most determined.
With the help of her allies, Maris has assembled an army of more than 40,000 people. Among them are more than 10,000 soul golems. There are 5,000 other warriors of the Hrudian family, and the rest are all It is the combat power of allies. This force has exceeded the strength of Vigros's gathering of other families to force Hrudian not long ago, and it is not inferior in number at the legendary level. The legendary soul golem from Hrudian is There are as many as one hundred people, and the other ten families have as few as five or six people, and as many as more than ten or twenty people, adding up to a total of more than three hundred people.
The comparison of the two military build-ups before and after, the success of the Khrudian family's sacrificial ceremony, the favor of the goddess, and many other factors combined together, all the families in Aesopaton City who were still trying to wait and see made their choices, like At this time of Sunchang's rebellion, if you continue to maintain a neutral attitude, I'm afraid that Khrudian will immediately fall out after destroying Vigros. Even if they are forced by the situation, they can only hold their noses and take sides.
This is why Matron Maris is besieging the headquarters of the Vigros family. On the one hand, she wants to draw other families into her own camp as much as possible, and then consume their strength through this family bloody battle, just like the previous Vigoros family headquarters. As the Gross family once did; on the other hand, we should also take advantage of this period to encircle and kill the outer strongholds and forces of the Vigros family. This can not only ensure that we have no worries, but also force the Vigros family to concentrate their forces. This will only All the problems need to be solved is a hearty victory.
This period of time made Matron Maris of the Hrudian family very energetic, but it made Grandma Drexinti of the Vigros family suffer. She knew clearly her opponent's intentions, but she still had to choose to retreat and defend. Fortunately, When the Hrudian family won the life-and-death battle, Mother Dresinti had already issued a similar order, so the losses of the entire Vegros family were not great after the Hrudian family officially declared war, but things like this In a war between one family and one city, unless the Vigoros family is incredibly powerful or can get a steady stream of reinforcements from outside, the Vigoros family's precious combat power will be slowly lost to repeated attacks by the opponent. Slow wear and tear will eventually lead to the destruction of the entire family.
"Lord, Mistress." A legendary mage who was responsible for operating the magic image in front of him suddenly changed his face. He hesitated and said a few words, but did not dare to complete the words. However, his performance was finally It attracted the attention of Matron Drexinti, who was dumbfounded and silent. If it were normal, this legendary archmage would definitely be reprimanded by Mother Drexinti, but in this environment, Master Drexinti Her mother was not in the mood to do these meaningless things. She turned her gaze to her cronies, and heard the latter pointing at the magic image in front of her and saying: "You, you see, it is from the Bosendenog family..."
After hearing this, Matron Drexinti immediately looked at the magic image in front of her again. Soon she saw a very familiar figure next to Matron Maris in the image. That was the matron of the Bosendenog family. It was obvious that this family, which had always been a solid ally in his camp and played an important role in the last bloody family war, finally chose to betray him.
Mother Drexinti sighed. After she made the move of full contraction, this choice of the Bosendenog family was already unavoidable. So she waved her hand and said: "It's not a big deal, anyway, the situation is not the same." It may be worse than it is now, I am very tired, you all should retreat."
"Yes." Many of the confidants standing next to Mistress Drisinti agreed in unison, but one of them hesitated for a moment and asked: "Mother, if the enemy launches an attack, we will How to deal with it.”
A strong anger burst out from the depths of Mother Drexinti's eyes. Who would dare to question her words like this in normal times? Unexpectedly, when the enemy is approaching, even her own confidants would dare to speak to her like this. However, Mother Drexinti also knew very well that the situation was stronger than the people. Instead of showing it or showing off, she said softly: "How else can we deal with it? If we in Vigros don't fall, how can Hrudian take over? Everyone, , at this time, we have no way out, except a bloody battle, a bloody battle, don’t forget that the family bloody battle has a one-month deadline, and besides, I have another backup plan.”
Several close followers of Mother Drexinti looked at each other. They didn't know this truth. However, the current situation was a dead end, so they couldn't help but worry. As for what Mother Drexinti said, These cronies also know something about the back-up plan, because somewhere in the Vigros family there is a small teleportation magic circle connected to the outside world. It is estimated that once the situation collapses, there should be the only way out.
It’s just that these close followers of Mother Drexinti also know very well that a teleportation magic circle like this can only teleport three or five people at a time, and if it is opened at most twice in a row, it will be discovered by the Hrudian family outside. They will use various methods to block the space, and the teleportation magic circle will be ineffective. Now everyone just hopes that the family headquarters can hold on for a few more days, and then if they can escape through the teleportation magic circle, they can be one of the three or five places. Even if he was hunted and wandered around for the rest of his life, it would be better to be buried here for the entire Vigros family.
After there was no one else in the prayer room, Mother Drexinti fell into silence again. At the same time, outside the Vigros family headquarters, Mother Maris of the Hrudian family was chatting with several other people around her. The matron of the family was chatting, and among them was the matron of the Posendenog family who was standing next to her just now. Originally, this matron of the family who was once ranked sixth was a loyal lackey of the Vigros family, but when Drexinti After the mistress stayed behind closed doors under the pressure of the mistress Maris, this dark elf woman who was good at conspiracy and deception had to bow to her enemy. If she didn't do this, Hrudian The family coalition will attack her family first. At that time, the matron of the Bosendenog family will not even be qualified to speak, and the entire Bosendenog family will be destroyed.
But now the price paid by the mother of the Posendenog family is not small. Although they are nominally allies of the Hrudian family, in reality they are no different from vassals. Mother Maris is willing to let them go. There are only two conditions for the Posendenog family to survive. One is to serve as an ally and a vassal of the Hrudian family for a hundred years. During this period, the entire Posendenog family has no privacy at all, and everything must be done. According to the wishes of the Hrudian family, at the same time, more than a dozen direct line women of the Bosendnog family must marry the men designated by Matron Maris, and these men of the Hrudian family will participate in the Bosende Nog family. In the internal affairs of the Nog family, to ensure that this vassal ally will not violate its oath,
As for the other, simpler condition, the Hrudian family will share half of all the profits of the Bosendenog family in the past hundred years for free, while the price that the Bosendenog family has to pay is not less. This is equivalent to In addition to the shackles of personnel appointments, it also severely chokes the Bosendenog family's financial throats, so that even if they have any ideas in their hearts, they do not have the manpower and financial resources to implement them, and they can do a good job in Hrudian with peace of mind. A vassal of the family,
After encountering such harsh conditions, the mistress of the Bosende Nog family did not frown and directly agreed. She has now lost the qualification to bargain. Moreover, the conditions of the mother of Maris will make Bosende The Nog family has suffered great losses, but it will not cause any damage. At most, it will be difficult to develop any more within a hundred years. As long as it can survive this painful period, the Posenden Nog family may not have the possibility of turning around in the future. ,
It took countless years and generations of efforts for the first family like Vigros to secure this position. Now that the Hrudian family has risen too fast, it is certain that their foundation is unstable. Yes, when the Hrudian family takes away the status of the first family from the Vigros family, they will face more challenges, such as threats from other cities, etc. At that time, in order to consolidate their position, Things such as gathering people's support and stabilizing the rear must be done. At that time, the opportunity for the Bosendenog family may come.
