My Descendants Are My Power

Ethan nodded slightly.

Over the years, Blackwood had nearly exhausted its resources.

In battle, Blackwood's various ability weapons also suffered significant wear and tear.

Especially for the Blackwood members... ordinary resources had little effect on them, only items of the seventh rank or higher could catch their eye.

"Conquering more territory for Cloudview County is also profitable for us at Blackwood."

"Our Heavenly Justice Hall branches spread throughout Cloudview County, and trading resources will bring us a massive amount of Energy Stones and resources."

"The larger Cloudview County's territory, the more profits we will see in the future."

"Moreover, as long as the Druids remain, we cannot rest easy."

"Furthermore..."

Daniel hesitated for a moment, then pulled out a golden scroll.

Ethan furrowed his brow as he saw the text on it.

[Divine Decree from the ancient gods]

[Hearing of Azure Cloud Blackwood's loyalty and righteousness in making great sacrifices for the empire, a special reward is granted, bestowing the title 'The Iron Bone Warriors Clan' to Azure Cloud Blackwood, granting them perpetual control over the county of Tranquil, recognized by the royal family for generations.

It is hereby ordered that Azure Cloud Blackwood dispatch masters to join the many righteous warriors of Cloudview County in battle, ready to support the major county towns at any time.]

"Ordered by the ancient gods, we must comply," Daniel reported, having heard from Dawn that after our counterattack in Cloudview County, officials from the imperial military were dispatched to oversee the battle and would arrive soon.

Daniel's expression was serious when he mentioned the imperial officials.

Ethan slightly frowned.

When he heard that the Druids were mobilizing, imperial officials were sent to oversee the battles in various county towns.

But thirty years had passed, and the empire had ignored Cloudview County, clearly having abandoned it early on.

Now that Cloudview County had held its ground, the empire was sending people...

What 'The Iron Bone Warriors Clan,' what perpetual control over the land of Tranquil County—these were just words.

The gods are high and far, whether Tranquil County belongs to Blackwood or not, does it need to be said by the gods?

Moreover, Ethan had heard early on that the ancient gods were severely injured, and the imperial capital was already in turmoil.

Whether this decree was personally written by the ancient gods was still uncertain.

However, whether the imperial people come or not, Blackwood must exert effort.

Soon everyone began discussing who to send and how to fight.

This matter made it difficult for the people of Blackwood for a while.

Nathan and Luna couldn't go... both had major issues with their magic, Death Coffin and the half-demon form could cause big problems if the imperial people were stubborn.

Lucas was busy cultivating psychic powers with The Celestial Star Swordmaster, Amelia was striving to break through and helping the Primordial blood tree in its breakthrough, Julian's temper only caused trouble, and Olivia was out plundering fortune.

The third generation... Marcus had to oversee the big picture at Sky Sect, the family couldn't do without Daniel, and as for the third generation of Blackwood... they were negligible.

"You guys... don't look at me!"

As the gazes converged, George's mouth twitched, alright, he got it.

Ever since the old grandfather had increased, the family always turned to him when there was nothing else, and he seemed to have returned to the days of years ago when he was busy taking care of his younger siblings every day, even lacking time for his hobbies like playing music and tomb raiding.

With a long sigh, he slowly stepped forward, but his face quickly darkened.

"Edward, Donna, you two go on your training journey, and take Azure Dragon along with your younger siblings. Your parents' generation has been quite stubborn, so now this important task falls to you."

"Yes!"

As Nathan's voice faded, the two stepped forward with a solemn expression, causing George and the other fourth-generation members to scratch their heads in confusion.

What did he mean by stubborn?

Nathan looked towards Jessica among the fourth-generation children and asked with a smile, "Jessica, is everything set up for Jones?"

"All set."

Jessica, the most composed of the fourth generation, nodded slightly.

"Sam has come of age and has taken over as the head of the Jones family. I can go and assist Edward and Donna on this journey."

"With you there, we can rest easy. Don't push yourselves too hard or try to stand out too much; just make sure everyone stays safe."

Daniel's lips curled into a slight smile.

"Our real battlefield at Blackwood isn't about fighting alongside many other forces."

[Special Event—Raiding the Druids]

[As your family resources grow increasingly scarce, amidst the chaos of war in Cloudview County with many forces involved, your family decides to take advantage of the turmoil and raid the Druids' rear, seizing a large amount of resources!]

Three days later.

Jessica left with two younger relatives and many of the skilled fighters Blackwood had trained over the years.

Nathan stood on a tall tree in the Silver Iron Forest, carrying the Death Coffin.

Behind them, in the tree crowns all around, stood many of the fourth-generation children, excitedly looking towards the distant Endless Forest.

War?

A war to help the Emerald Empire, which had never truly considered them as their own?

What a joke. Discover more magic on m-vl-em-pyr

This was what they were truly good at!

"Everything is all set, and I can finally relax a bit."

Ethan let out a long sigh of relief and stretched lazily.

He watched as his family progressed in the game.

Edward and Donna had already headed to the border, keeping a low profile.

Meanwhile, Nathan was stealthily camping in the Endless Forest with the family's children, reminiscent of the battles they fought years ago in the Silver Iron Forest.

With their generations of hunting skills and their knack for adventuring, they were unlikely to face any danger.

These days, every day had been tense for him, with the family constantly on the brink of extinction or fleeing for their lives.

But now, things were looking up.

The situation in Cloudview County had turned around, and Blackwood was now aligned with the human factions.

They could develop quietly and without worry, and he finally had some free time.
