Chapter 1647 - 1647 947 The Torn Curtain (Part 1)_2

Chapter 1647: Chapter 947: The Torn Curtain (Part 1)_2 Chapter 1647: Chapter 947: The Torn Curtain (Part 1)_2 After Leo Ray finished speaking, the twelve elders of the Sanders Family, including Terence, nodded heavily, their faces a mix of solemnity and tension.

It should be known that because of the Absolute Defense Barrier, they could not enter the city to provide support until the barrier was broken.

This meant that in the early stages of the war, the Sanders Family’s army commanders would have to face everything alone, like a trapped beast.

After all, the enemy forces inside the city were the ferocious Lancaster and Yorkman clans, as well as the Fallen Nobles Allied Army, with 15 more legions than our side.

What was crucial was that these army commanders were blood relatives and descendants of the elders. Watching their own blood relatives trapped and unable to help was indeed torture.

“Don’t worry, everyone. Although we can’t take direct action, I have already triggered an ace up our sleeve to ensure everything goes smoothly to the greatest extent,” said Leo Ray, seeing the elders’ anxiety. He then added solemnly, “Please remember, elders, that our path is being engulfed by the enemy and darkness. If we don’t move forward, all we have left is death.”

“Our actions will illuminate the path for everyone and bring light back to this land.”

As he reached this point, Leo Ray’s voice lowered, and he slowly said, “All right, let’s begin the prologue of this war. We have no choice but to move forward.”

“Understood, Mr. Lane. We will do our best!”

Hearing Leo Ray’s words, the elders focused their minds and began to communicate with their blood-related army commanders using their secret communication methods.

This unique communication method of the Sanders Family could penetrate the barrier of the Absolute Defense Barrier and deliver the message to the uninformed Sanders army commanders.

…

At the same time, various Sanders army commanders stationed at Kael Castle received the familiar magic signal. They stealthily listened, making no fuss.

Every Sanders Family army commander was an elite within the family. Even with commanders from other clans around, they did not reveal anything.

However, while our side was carrying things out quietly, something unexpected happened in an inconspicuous, rundown bell tower in the central part of Kael Castle.

In the loft at the top of the tower, a group of mages in blue robes were sitting quietly around a huge blue magic array, concentrating on it.

From the bloodstained, ferocious pterosaur emblem on their blue robes, it was obvious that these sharp-looking mages were from the Lancaster Clan.

On the other side of the magic array, a plump Lancaster mage commander was curled up on a soft sofa, elegantly holding a steaming cup of black tea, shaking his head and sipping it, looking quite content.

As the fat mage commander leisurely finished his tea, the orderly atmosphere in the bell tower loft suddenly became chaotic.

More than a dozen mages, who had been quietly concentrating, stood up almost simultaneously, their faces full of disbelief.

“Reporting to Lord Jeff, we’ve intercepted a magic communication from the Sanders Family. Grand Duke Harrison Shelton is dead, and the Sanders Family has fallen under the control of that despicable guest official and the Fifth Princess!”

“Reporting to the Captain, the new head of the Sanders Family is named Linda, who is ordering the elders to regain control of the Sanders Family’s troops stationed in the city!”

“Reporting to Lord, three main forces corps of the Sanders Family have received orders to launch a surprise attack on the Magic Tower and are secretly assembling!”

“Reporting to Captain, there are five ordinary armies of the Sanders Family who have also responded to the new head’s call and are holding emergency war meetings!”

…

“Reporting to Captain Jeff, after gathering intelligence, all 25 Sanders Family’s armies in Kael Castle have responded to the new head’s call, ready to cooperate with the hundred thousand external enemy forces in attacking Kael Castle!”Upon hearing this series of reports, the fat aristocrat named Jeff was shocked and suddenly sprang up from the sofa. His chubby face was filled with gloom as he said, “As expected by our clan leader, the despicable Otherworlder is indeed trying to win over the Sanders Family!”

“However, his treacherous plans will never succeed. Elite assassins from our Lancaster and Yorkman Clans have already been set up around all the commanders of the Sanders Family. Since they are making moves, they can’t blame us for being merciless.”

The pot-bellied Jeff waved his hand and ordered, “Immediately report the news to the clan leader and the Fourth Prince. As long as we kill all the commanders of the Sanders Family and push the crime onto that despicable Otherworlder, the command of the Sanders Family’s army will fall into the hands of the Fourth Prince!”

“In that case, the despicable Otherworlder and the Fifth Princess will have nowhere to go but death.”

After he finished, Jeff laughed sinisterly with his big belly: “If he wants to create chaos under the watchful eyes of our magic detection team, that despicable Otherworlder doesn’t have the ability!”

As Jeff laughed recklessly, many mages under his command were nodding their heads in agreement and preparing to contact others.

Suddenly, a figure appeared, swiftly flying in through the clock tower’s skylight, landing right in front of Jeff and the other mages.

“Who is that?! Protect the captain!”

Seeing the nearby shadow, Jeff was startled and immediately twisted his fat body to retreat a few steps. The guards around him quickly brandished swords and prepared to fight the shadow.

However, when all the mages present saw the visitor clearly, they immediately knelt down and respectfully said, “Greetings, Clan Leader!”

The visitor had white hair and a luxurious blue mage robe. It was none other than the slightly hunched Duke Stone.

“Rise.”

Duke Stone casually waved his hand and walked directly towards Jeff, who was surrounded by guards, and said indifferently, “You have intercepted all the magic communication from the Sanders Family, haven’t you?”

“Answering the Clan Leader, we have intercepted everything. Please be assured that I have done my job well.”

Jeff hurriedly grinned and curtsied with his big belly, “I was just about to report the news to the Clan Leader and Fourth Prince, and didn’t expect the Clan Leader to personally show up.”

“No need to report, this is just the clan leader testing your eavesdropping network.”

Duke Stone glanced at Jeff and said expressionlessly, “I appreciate your performance this time. Continue to monitor, and I will keep an eye on your every movement.”

“Yes, sir! Clan leader!”

Hearing Duke Stone’s praise, Jeff couldn’t help but nod his head and bow in excitement.

However, after a brief moment, the smile on Jeff’s chubby face froze, and he instantly turned gloomy, “Clan Leader, weren’t you just with the Fourth Prince in the secret command center? How could you suddenly appear here? This doesn’t fit your usual style of strategizing.”

“Moreover, the aura emanating from you is somewhat different from usual, and it seems more illusory.”

As Jeff was saying this, the surrounding mages and guards began to react, and they slowly approached “Duke Stone.”

Each of them was an elite carefully selected by the Lancaster Clan, and their experiences and reactions were far different from ordinary soldiers.

After Jeff’s reminder, everyone present knew clearly.

Since that despicable Otherworlder could kill the head of the Sanders Family, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to impersonate the leader of the Lancaster Clan!

As tensions were high, a smile of approval appeared on “Duke Stone”‘s old face, and he nodded, “Well done, I didn’t expect you to see through this as well. With such elites in my Lancaster Clan, killing that Princess’s Guest Official will be a breeze.”

“Could this also be a test by the Clan Leader?”

As Jeff and the others were filled with doubt, a hurried knock suddenly came from outside the clock tower’s attic.
