Chapter 567 Too Late
In front of the Baier family headquarters…
In this place, the heart of this noble family, a group of 15 men from the Koch family, was in the vicinity of this place, intending to attack.
They were few, and the strongest of them was only at level 14, weaker than the leader of the organization they intended to attack. But in this day and time, this would not be a problem for them.
This place had become virtually unprotected, with David and the strongest family experts attacking the Frost headquarters!
There were a few level 14 and 13 cultivators on that estate at the moment, and the family’s defenses were up.
After all, in situations like today, families like this typically take such precautions.
But considering everyday situations, that was the same as being defenseless, even more so for this group about to attack this place!
“Everyone in position?” One of the strongest of that group asked, standing in position around that estate next to a weapon with offensive formations aimed at the building in front of him.
The other members of House Koch there agreed, immediately after that, beginning to arm their weapons to destroy the defensive barriers of that place.
“Get ready!” He shouted, no longer caring to be heard. “One… Two… Three… Fire!”
At that instant, five different cannon-like weapons fired toward the outer walls of the Baier estate, marking the beginning of this attack.
As the cannonballs of more than 70 centimeters in radius fired at those walls, noise spread throughout the vicinity, alerting the neighbors and the Baier family.
Unfortunately, soon after the cannon noise, the walls protected by formations began to break in the face of the cannonballs!
“Enemy attack!”
“Quick, get your defenses up! Prepare your weapons!”
Shouts arose from inside the Baier family headquarters, where the weakest were pale with fear, and the strongest was already sweating in awe at what this meant.
They would have a difficult time there today. Surviving would not be simple at all. But to be attacked like this while their leaders were attacking the Frost family was a terrible indication!
‘This is an ambush! The patriarch and the elders are under serious risk!’ One of the strongest elders left behind to guard the place trembled with fear at the possibility of the family being erased from existence after this day.
Gulp!
…
Meanwhile, at the Vogel family headquarters! 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝑛𝘦𝑡
Just as was happening at the Baier family headquarters, this place was under attack.
Some members of the Koch family were there with Elisabeth, Rebecca, and the other two disciples of this woman, there to participate in the destruction of this family.
The Vogel family was one of Lothur’s and House Frost’s enemies and acted today to end young Ritter’s interests. As such, like the other organizations in Linn Province acting on this day, they were marked for death!
As Elisabeth was someone who had issues with this family, a maverick who would love to see the end of her blood relatives, she could not help but help her associates and take revenge.
In the past, her parents had been killed by the patriarch and some of the most important elders of this family in an internal power struggle. Elisabeth had sought justice and tried to bring honor to her family but had been discredited, cast out of the family, and forced to watch her parents’ enemies destroy their legacy.
As such, she had sworn that she would no longer be a member of the Vogel family, that she would never again help this family, and if she had the chance, she would destroy it.
The chance she had been waiting for had finally arrived, so she was there to help the members of the Koch family attack this place without suffering significant risks from the poisons of this organization.
Beside her, her disciples were there to help her complete her revenge, knowing what she had been through in this cruel family.
In particular, Rebecca, currently at level 13 of soul and 12 of body cultivation, was eager to have the blood on her hands of those who dared to act against Lothur’s interests.
Because of him, she was still alive and had also gained more control over her abilities that scared even Transcendents.
With these abilities, after the cannons of the Koch family destroyed the walls of the Vogel family, she was the first to move towards the interior of that place, absorbing much of the defensive poison of that property.
Elisabeth acted immediately afterward to help her disciple clear the way for the Koch family men, with her two other disciples trying to help them in any way they could.
In the midst of this, the Vogel family elders left behind were pale, seeing Rebecca managing to neutralize their defenses practically single-handedly.
Poison masters were not as good at fighting as other spiritual professionals. They depended heavily on their poisons for this.
So by having their primary weapon neutralized and face-to-face with enemies at the same level as them but with better combat proficiencies, most already feared their demise.
“Run! Run while you can!”
“The enemies are too strong for us!”
“Yes, if we run away, some of us may survive. They can’t chase all of us!”
Shouts broke out among those fearful people, as several of this family’s guards died at the hands of the Koch family members attacking this place.
…
Other attacks like those on the Baier and Vogel family were happening in Peters City, along with the large ambush outside the Frost estate.
Because of the various battles around Peters City this morning, it didn’t take long for the various powers, unaware of the plans of Lothur’s allies and enemies, to discover what was happening.
Even the people following the Secret Realm rankings in the Morning Star Academy plaza put aside the young people’s progress in that special place to pay attention to the local news.
In particular, the Duke of the Province, the visitors who wanted to get their cars faster, and those two individuals in that city to arrest Lothur were the most impressed by everything.
After today, things for this province would change, with this territory taking Lothur’s good side.
The news was flowing fast, so the forces in this place soon discovered that Lothur’s enemies had made a big mistake that day. Some of those people would even have their families wiped out!
Some who received this news would send people to try to stop the confrontation. Yet, by the time the news spread, the consequences of the acts of several local forces were already definite.
The damage had already been done, and by the time the imperial guard managed to do something, more than 80% of those who decided to attack Frost House today were dead!
Amid this, two of the three local noble families acting against Annaliese’s house were wiped out just before the imperial guard reached their headquarters!
And so the two envoys of the Third Prince were boiling with rage, noting that even in the Secret Realm, Lothur was causing havoc to their young master’s plans!
“Bastard Ritter! You will pay for this!” The level 17 man clenched his fists and said, looking at the formation that showed Lothur’s situation within the Secret Realm.
