It was originally thought that the five major chambers of commerce would hold peace talks tonight, and that peace would be restored to Hopelaner after that. The residents in the city breathed a sigh of relief.
As the firelight swam, crowds and teams broke through the night, and the tranquility after a short pause was broken again. Then came the shocking battle on the coast, which shook the earth and made people in the city involuntarily stick their heads out of their homes to visit carefully.
After the towering demon statue was smashed to the ground, it was like the collapse of a myth, impacting the hearts of the residents in the city. After that, the sound of fighting in the city gradually became smaller.
Bursts of artillery fire occasionally came from the fleet outside the harbor, but it was much smaller than at the beginning. As groups of purple-clad armed men gradually took control of the city, as dawn approached, there was no sound of artillery fire anymore.
Due to the death of Fenton, the main heir to the Nissus family, and the old head of the family becoming senile and demented, the Nissos family was leaderless. The armed team of Carites soon broke through the gate and took control of its headquarters.
After the Tisiphone family failed, the head of the family drank poison and committed suicide, but the third direct son Abel disappeared. Later, a small number of people escaped from the city, and the rest of the people who stayed in the city surrendered.
The Anemii family prepared to rush out of the city, but were blocked by a small team of the Helis family. Then the large force of Kalites arrived, and finally had to retreat to the Chamber of Commerce headquarters.
By noon, the city gates and walls of Hopeland and the southern port were all controlled by Carites' purple-clad team. They began to impose a ban on entry and exit that day.
The next morning, Miss Lacey of the Carites family led people into the Helis family headquarters.
At noon, at the banquet of the Helis family, the former head of the family, Hoss, announced that he and his son Bell would permanently give up their inheritance rights, and that the eldest daughter Melu would continue to be the head of the family. In the future, the transfer and inheritance of the position of the head of the family would be decided by Melu.
Originally, all the relatives of the Helis family and the head of the family, Hoss, would move to the Spice Manor in the Southern Islands, where the climate is suitable for retirement. The original family guard captain Gerard was dismissed from his post and transferred to the fleet to explore.
The distant eastern route.
On the third day, outside the Anemi family headquarters.
The teams of the Helles and Carites jointly surrounded the wall and were heavily guarded, but they did not attack.
In the past two days, the Carites family has been busy controlling the entire city, raiding and seizing the Nissus and Tisiphone families. It was only today that they finally freed up their manpower.
Lorraine Hill and Melu were sitting in a carriage, looking at the gate of Anemii's house not far away. The autumn wind was bleak, and many landscape trees in the courtyard poked out of the wall, with yellowed leaves blowing in the breeze.
Swirling down.
"Do you want to plead for the Anemi family?"
Lorraine Hill held a cup of hot car in her hand, her silver hair hanging casually on her shoulders. She was wearing a simple white skirt and leaned lightly on the sofa behind her.
"Yes." Mei Lu nodded, looking at the clear green tea in the cup, as if she was nostalgic.
"Fengano and I are the same age and almost grew up together."
"When I was young, I didn't like to go out very much. She often came to play with me, and sometimes she invited me to their home."
"There are many flowers and plants in Anemiyi's house, which bloom in all seasons. The trees in the yard are also very lush, and the trees provide continuous shade."
Meilu raised her head, looked at the forest outside the window, and continued.
"I loved playing at her house 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 or children to disturb me. I sat on the rocks and read a book, reading the stories and illustrations in the book. Feng Na was in the yard.
I ran around here, occasionally fishing, occasionally catching butterflies, and then showed them to me."
"Uncle Noyes will come back sometimes and bring some interesting accessories and small objects, not only to Fengno, but also to me."
"Apart from my father, he is the best elder to me."
"Although we are strangers and we are in opposition to each other now, I still want to ask for mercy."
After saying that, Mei Lu seemed to put down something, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"Although Fengano is the daughter of the Anemii family, she basically does nothing and has not participated in the conspiracy. There is nothing wrong with letting her go."
"But Noyce is different. Not only did he participate in the whole process, but he also personally led the personnel to attack the Hellis family. You won't forget this, right?"
Lorraine Hill paused for a moment before finally stating this insurmountable bottom line.
When many things happen, someone must bear the consequences. As the head of the family, Noyce has an unshirkable responsibility.
"I understand, but at least Feng Nai can be preserved." Mei Lu whispered softly.
In the courtyard of Anemii's family, Fengano looked at the people confronting him outside the window, and closed the curtain angrily with a brush.
"Okay, Miss, don't be angry." Penny looked at her master and walked to her side comfortingly.
"But, I just can't settle down."
Feng Nai sat in front of the table and said a little uneasily.
"Father has locked himself in the study for two full days, and no one is allowed in."
"The Carites and Helis are guarding the outside day and night, and they may break in at any time."
There seemed to be tears streaming from the corners of her eyes, then she turned around and hugged the maid beside her, buried her head in the white apron around her waist, and made a vague sound.
"Are we going to be killed? Penny."
The maid touched her young lady's hair and said slowly.
"No, Miss will survive because there is no blood on your hands."
"What about father? What should he do?"
"Lord Noyes...Sir Noyes has made his own decision."
"Will father die?" Feng Na whispered, his voice a little hoarse.
"I don't know, miss." Penny put her hand on Fengano's back and stroked it slowly.
"What about you, Penny, will you always be with me?"
"I..." Penny was a little surprised and answered after a while.
"Well, I will be with the lady."
"Forever?"
"Well, forever."
At this time, shouts came from outside the window, and with a loud bang, the iron door of the Chamber of Commerce was pushed down and fell heavily to the ground, shaking up clouds of dust and blowing up fallen leaves.
Groups of armed men began to enter the courtyard of the Chamber of Commerce. Footsteps, exclamations, and slashing sounds sounded as the attack began.
On a cloudy autumn day, the sea breeze also carried waves of moisture, making people feel a chill. Just when the two warring parties thought that the dust was about to settle, waves of roaring sounds were heard from outside the distant sky.
The rotating propellers, like shadows, blew away the atmosphere, making a continuous sound. Iron-gray airships poked out from the clouds. Stratus clouds left a trail of seasonal clouds around the airships. The reinforcements from the east arrived 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 blue frost rose patterns and the scale pattern of the Verga Business Alliance. The two logos are juxtaposed, which seems to announce the rise of a brand new force on the mainland.
Frost rose, the flower has seven petals, seven petals merge into one.
