"I hope they would surrender,"
"Hmm, I understand." Marzo was still as expressionless as ever, nodding as he took the Mysterious rare artifact.
Darren pondered silently for a moment, then gave Marzo a black and red earring, which was the Forbidden rare artifact "Dark Red Blood Moon" of the "Flaming Blood Proud Dragon" family, with the serial number 4555. Its effect was to nullify a fatal attack once, but the cost was the random loss of some flesh and blood from the body.
He still said calmly and indifferently,
After Marzo left, Darren went to the camp and found his uncle, Chris.
"Uncle Chris, you should go, too. If the 'Fog Wayfarer' Abernathy family resolutely refuses to surrender, you can directly take action to kill their Family Head, 'White Spirit.'"
Chris nodded slightly, expressionless, and then disappeared.
After the Northern Kingdom Army stationed itself in the city, they immediately started taking a census, checking losses and gains, searching for fleeing individuals, dealing with issues caused by destruction, and preventing the possible spread of the plague.
The entire city was operating under the command of Aldrich Romann, who was undoubtedly the most adept at this among the coalition forces.
In less than a month, the news of the complete annihilation of the "Flaming Blood Proud Dragon" family spread not only throughout Cyart but also became known to most of the Extraordinary nobility in the Eastern Four Kingdoms.
The "Flaming Blood Proud Dragon" had been wiped out!
All the Extraordinary nobility were greatly shaken!
In fact, compared to the deaths of countless common people, the complete demise of a well-established noble family stirred the emotions of the noble Extraordinary Exponents even more.
They became increasingly aware of the Fischer family's ferocity.
So, in the following period, every town and city that the Northern Kingdom Army arrived at chose to surrender without exception; the people had no desire to resist.
Finally, before arriving at the southernmost province of Cyart, Alfenia, Marzo brought back two legitimate members of the Abernathy "Fog Wayfarer" family to surrender, along with an important piece of news.
Their family's Patriarch, "White Spirit," had recently gone missing.
"White Spirit has gone missing?"
In the temporary camp, after hearing the important news, Aldrich looked at Darren and, after a long contemplation, finally said:
"Lord Darren, you might not be fully aware, but 'White Spirit,' in my view, is likely one of the most mysterious people in Cyart. He only ever had Marquis Vlad as a friend and mostly kept to himself, rarely talking to others."
"His sudden disappearance, I feel, is an ominous sign..."
Darren raised his eyebrows, sinking deep into thought.
Recalling the eleven years of civil war, "White Spirit" had hardly appeared on the frontal battlefield, even though he had long been a mid-level Monarch and a significant force.
"Please tell me specifically about 'White Spirit.'"
He quickly inquired with the people from the Abernathy "Fog Wayfarer" family along with Aldrich, only to find that even the Abernathy family members didn't know much about their Family Head, "White Spirit."
Even though that man is clearly the Family Head, in reality, he's similar to Chris in the family: elusive, and now he has simply upgraded to a situation like that of Karno...
Inside the temporary military camp, General Archibald, the strongest member of the Dawn Church, "Path of Calamity," was also listening. He eventually shook his head and spread his hands, saying with apparent unconcern,
"I think it's no big deal. There's no extra information on 'the White Spirit,' and pondering too much won't yield any results."
"We should focus our energy on other matters."
Darren fell into deep thought, feeling in his heart that there were some secrets associated with "the White Spirit," but as Archibald had said, it was pointless to dwell on it for the time being.
At this very moment, in the Siyate Imperial City.
Dozens of members of the Adley Royal Family were discussing with anxiety and concern what they should do next.
"Let's surrender. It's still not too late to surrender. Those families who chose to surrender are all safe!"
"But the Castleton family was nearly annihilated, and they surrendered too!"
"That's because they surrendered too late! That army is about to reach the Royal Capital, and we might be too late by then! Send someone to surrender immediately!"
In the resplendent room, members of the Royal Family argued incessantly, with many urging surrender in fear and despair, but there were also quite a few who thought they should not just give up and suggested that the Fischer family and the Romann family would definitely not let them go, so they should seek help from outside.
Even if it meant giving away half of the country's territory, they must seek revenge against the despicable Fischer family and the Romann family!
The arrival of one man offered them a third path.
This person was the high-level Monarch "Weird Light," the second-in-command of the Salvation Church, and a Cardinal, Albert Saxon, who had once tried to rescue "the Sword of Salvation."
He seemed to twist space itself, causing unseen ripples to appear, and in the next moment, he had already arrived here.
Seeing Cardinal Albert, everyone instantly fell silent, not daring to speak out of turn.
The Salvation Church and Sun Church are the two most powerful True Gods Churches!
Their influence spreads across several continents around the world and can be said to be second only to the two great empires, Lorne and Seven Stars. Moreover, the number of followers of the True Gods Churches is simply incalculable, and their influence has deeply permeated every aspect of people's lives. Even the two great empires, Lorne and Seven Stars, dare not offend the Churches easily.
The most senior member of the Royal Family there immediately fell to his knees, took deep breaths, and with tears streaming down, pleaded painfully,
"Oh great Lord of Salvation! Have you come to save us, the descendants of your blood? Cardinal Albert Saxon, please go to the battlefield and eliminate the Fischer family and the Romann family!"
"You are the strongest Extraordinary Exponent under the Heavenly Enlightenment of the Ouden Continent, you must be able to do this!" Discover exclusive tales on empire
Facing the hopeful eyes of everyone, Cardinal Albert fell silent for a while before shaking his head gently, calmly saying,
"I can take you away and protect your lives in the name of the Salvation Church. However, I absolutely cannot directly intervene with the secular Extraordinary nobility, as that would break the 'rules' they established from the beginning."
Seeing the disappointed looks of the people, he said impatiently,
"Make your choice quickly."
