Originally thought that the five major chambers of commerce would negotiate peacefully tonight, and peace could be restored in Hopelander afterwards, and the residents in the city breathed a sigh of relief.
As the firelight swam, the crowd and the team broke through the night, and the peace after a short pause was broken again, and then there was the earth-shattering battle on the coast, which shook the earth and made the people in the city involuntarily stick out their heads from their homes to visit carefully.
After the towering golem that covered the sky was smashed to the ground, it was like the collapse of a myth, impacting the hearts of the residents in the city, and then the sound of fighting in the city gradually became smaller.
There were occasional bursts of artillery fire from the fleet outside the harbour, but it was much smaller than the beginning. As a group of armed men in purple clothes gradually controlled the city, as dawn approached, there was no more artillery fire.
Due to the death of Felton, the main heir of the Nissos family, and the old owner of the family, who was also old and demented, without a leader, the armed team of Karites quickly broke through the gate and took control of its headquarters.
After the failure of the Tisifone family, the owner of the family drank poison and committed suicide, but the third son Abel disappeared.
The Anemii family was about to storm out of the city, but was stopped by a small group of Helis family, and then the large force of Karites came, and finally had to retreat to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce.
At noon, several city gates and walls of Hoplander and the southern port were controlled by the purple-clothed team of Karites, and a ban was imposed that day, and access was suspended.
The next morning, Miss Lacey of the Karites family brought people into the headquarters of the Helis family.
At noon, at the Helis family's banquet, the former head of the house, Hoss, announced that he and his son Bell would permanently renounce their inheritance rights, and that the eldest daughter, Mei Lu, would continue to serve as the head of the house.
And all the relatives of the original Helis family and the head of the family, Howth, will move to the spice estate in the Southern Islands, where the climate is suitable for retirement. The former captain of the family's guard, Gerd, was relieved of his duties and transferred to the fleet to open up the distant eastern route.
On the third day, outside the headquarters of the Anemi family.
The teams of the Helis family and the Karites family united to surround the wall and were heavily guarded, but they did not attack.
The Karites family has been busy controlling the city for the past two days, confiscating and detaining the Nissos family and the Tisifone family. It was only today that they finally freed up their staff.
Roland Hill and Meru sat in a carriage, looking at the gate of Anemii's house not far away. The autumn wind was bleak, many landscape trees in the courtyard protruded from the wall, and the yellowed leaves were swirling and falling in the breeze.
"Do you want to intercede for the Anemii family?"
Loren Hill held a cup of hot car in the palm of her hand, her silver hair was casually draped over her shoulders, she wore a simple white dress, and leaned lightly on the sofa behind her.
"Yes." Mei Lu nodded, her eyes looking at the clear green tea in the cup, she seemed to miss it.
"I'm the same age as Feng Nai, and we grew up almost together."
"When I was young, I didn't like to go out very much. She often came to play with me, and sometimes invited me to their house."

"There are a lot of flowers and plants in Anemii's house, blooming in all seasons, and the trees in the yard are also very lush, and the shade of the trees is continuous."
Mei Lu raised her head, looked at the shade outside the window, and continued.
"I liked playing at her house very much at that time, because it was close to the hillside, and there were some strange rocks under the trees. It was very quiet here, and there were no other relatives and children to disturb me. I just sat on the rocks and read books, stories and illustrations in the books, and Feng Nai was in the yard. Running around, occasionally fishing, occasionally catching butterflies, and showing it to me.”
"Uncle Noyce sometimes comes back and brings some fun accessories and small objects, not only for Feng Nai, but also for me."
"Apart from my father, he is the best elder to me."
"Although they are strangers and opposite each other now, I still want to beg for mercy."
After speaking, Mei Lu seemed to have put down something, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.
"Although Feng Nai is the daughter of the Anemii family, she basically doesn't care about anything and doesn't participate in the conspiracy. It's okay to let her go."
"But Noyce is different. He not only participated in the whole process, but also personally led the personnel to attack Helis's house. You will not forget this."
Roland Hill paused for a while, but still said this insurmountable bottom line.
When a lot of things happen, someone has to bear the consequences. Noyce has an inescapable responsibility as the head of the house.
"I understand, but at least the wind can stay." Mei Lu whispered softly.
In the Anemii's house, Kaze looked at the confronting people outside the window, and with a swipe, drew the curtains angrily.
"Okay, Miss, don't be angry anymore." Penny looked at her master and walked to his side comfortingly.
"But, I just can't settle down."
Feng Nao sat at the table and said a little uneasy.
"Father has locked himself in the study for two whole days, and no one will be allowed in."
"The Karites and Helis's are guarded day and night outside, and they may attack at any time."
Tears seemed to flow from the corners of her eyes, then she turned to hug the maid beside her, buried her head in the white apron around her waist, and made a muffled sound.
"Are we going to be killed? Penny."
The maid touched her lady's hair and said slowly.
"No, Miss will survive because you don't have blood on your hands."
"What about father, what should he do?"
"Lord Noyce... . Lord Noyce makes his own decision."
"Will my father die?" Feng Nai whispered, her voice a little hoarse.
"I don't know, Miss." Penny put her hand on Feng Nai's back and stroked slowly.
"What about you, Penny, will you always be with me?"
"I..." Penny was a little surprised and answered after a while.
"Well, I'll be with Miss."
"Forever?"
"Well, forever."
At this time, there were bursts of shouts from outside the window, and with a loud noise, the iron gate of the Chamber of Commerce was torn down and fell heavily on the ground, shaking up bursts of dust and blowing leaves.
A group of armed men began to enter the courtyard of the Chamber of Commerce. Footsteps, exclamations, and slashing sounded, and the attack began.
On a cloudy autumn day, the sea breeze also carried bursts of moisture, which made people feel a chill. Just when the two sides of the war thought that the dust was about to settle, there were bursts of roaring sounds from the distant sky.
The propellers turned like shadows, blowing away the atmosphere, and the sound was connected together. Iron-grey airships protruded from the clouds, and stratus clouds left a series of season clouds around the airships. The reinforcements from the east were late at this moment. .
About a dozen huge airships were suspended above the city. At the bottom of the airship, the hatches opened one by one, and the fire began to charge.
These airships are printed with a blue frost rose pattern, as well as the scale pattern of the Verga Business Alliance. The two symbols are side by side, which seems to announce that a new force has begun to rise on the mainland.
The frost rose has seven petals, and the seven petals are one.
