Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Blackwood's Rise
"Boss, we're back!" At that moment, from the direction of the Silver Iron Forest, they had actually stayed put, not moving an inch. And the two who had returned were messengers for the other two major families!
"Right." Clan leader Moore, who appeared scholarly and gentle, always had a hint of darkness in his expression. He coldly said to the people of his clan, "This matter is of great peril to the world, and we must keep it under wraps. Do you all understand?"
"Understood!" Everyone frowned in agreement.
However, one elder in the clan questioned, "Boss, why harm the Bluefield Taylors? You know our Moore clan has suffered from drought for many years, and we really need the resources from the Silver Iron Forest."
Clan leader Moore was not annoyed. His composure was indeed rare.
"A season ago, Lucas from Blackwood came to see me, and he asked me something quite intriguing."
"Oh?" The crowd was puzzled.
Clan leader Moore continued, "The young Blackwood asked if we were to venture into the Silver Iron Forest, would there be casualties? And if the elders we've spent a century nurturing die because of it, would it be worth it?"
"That's..."
The crowd looked at each other, knowing well that where there is conflict, there is harm. But they were all advanced in years, seeking more resources merely to nurture the future generations of their families.
"Not worth it. But we have an opportunity, an opportunity to seize a fortune of a centuries-old great family without spending a single soldier!"
Clan leader Moore sneered, "Do you understand now?"
"Bluefield Taylor!"
"Most of their skilled members have died in the Silver Iron Forest, and Bluefield Taylor is very close to our Moore Town. They are like fat meat ready for the taking!"
"So, the Taylors are like lambs to the slaughter, I see!"
The many elders of Moore realized this and could hardly contain their joy. Why not rejoice at food that comes without a fight?
One elder suddenly had a realization, "No wonder that girl from Blackwood dared to propose ideas in front of us. She had planned it all along, suggesting we go straight into the Silver Iron Forest to shut up that old man Ryan! Then, we say we'll attack the forest from seven directions and spread the news that Taylor is to be annihilated, making all families leave."
With this statement, the previously skeptical elder looked solemn, "If that's the case, then we must leave no survivors from Bluefield Taylor, otherwise if this gets out, our Moore will be treated as traitors to humanity. Boss, who will handle the Taylors?"
"Naturally, it's Blackwood." Clan leader Moore said casually.
"Blackwood?"
The Moore elders all frowned, skepticism in their eyes.
After all, with all the clans gathered, Blackwood's little force seemed insignificant.
But Clan leader Moore just laughed.
"You don't think that Blackwood, who I even respect for being able to annihilate two clans with his own power, is overly arrogant, do you? When I spoke with young Lucas, I saw absolute confidence in him!"
"Absolute confidence?"
Ethan quietly observed the small text above the head of the Moore family leader, his expression calm.
Yes.
Absolute confidence!
Blackwood was no longer the trembling entity it once was in front of the Heath and Gonzalez families!
Looking at the map.
The people of Blackwood had already met with Taylor from Lantian.
Clicking on Nathan's avatar.
The scene had already appeared on the road through the depths of the Silver Iron Forest, with a gentle breeze blowing and the shadows of trees swaying.
Taylor's group of sixteen had already stopped in their tracks, all with expressions of shock and suspicion.
In front of them.
Nathan, carrying a silver coffin engraved with mysterious patterns, alone blocked the way of Taylor's people!
A Forebearer badge floated next to Nathan, shining brightly!
"Nathan, why are you blocking our way instead of attacking from the southwest with Blackwood?!!"
Although Ryan did not know why Nathan did this, he already felt something extraordinary.
Taylor's people were also on high alert.
From Nathan, they sensed a murderous aura!
"Boom!"
Nathan did not reply, but silently unstrapped the straight-death coffin tied to him, and as the heavy coffin landed on the ground, he stared at Taylor's people as if looking at the dead.
"Whoosh!"
Just then, a breaking sound came from afar!
"Not good!"
Ryan's face changed drastically, and he coldly said, "It's a trap, release the formation!"
As he shouted, Taylor's people all looked up.
Above them in the sky, a network of long spears formed and fell towards them!
The Spear Forest Array.
This was a formation that Blackwood had acquired from Garcia, and now over sixty people in Gratitude Village practiced the Spear Forest Array.
But the spears in the sky were not just from the Spear Forest Array; there were also long spears and arrows thrown by other Psychics from Gratitude Village.
Taylor's people were also formidable.
An Emerging Ability master had already risen into the air with his sword, using his magical power to block the falling spears.
However, spears and arrows continued to fall from the sky.
The magical barrier of the Emerging Ability master soon showed cracks.
It was known that those from Blackwood who went out to fight were equipped with weapons forged by the Forge Pavilion, which were quite powerful!
"How dare you, Nathan, to set a trap to ambush us, Taylor, you're seeking death!"
Ryan was furious.
With a wave of his hand, a peak Emerging Ability member of the Taylor clan understood and unleashed a powerful surge of ability towards Nathan.
But with a thunderous noise.
The earth, fragrant with the scent of summer, scattered in mid-air, and the Purple Thunder Solar Python, wielding the power of heavenly thunder and earthly fire, burst forth from the ground.
With a roar, the Purple Thunder Solar Python blocked the strike from the Emerging Ability master and charged directly at Ryan, the 200-year-old Transcendent Seed stage master of Taylor!
"Hmph! I've long heard that you Blackwood have a special ability beast, and even an AI Bionic Robot?"
Ryan was undaunted, clearly confident.
"As you wish."
Seeing Ryan so arrogant.
Ethan had already clicked on the War AI Bionic Robot!
"Boom!"
As Ethan's eyes turned white.
His consciousness appeared in the game world, where the War AI Bionic Robot, already prepared in the Silver Iron Forest, had risen into the air, its weapons erupting as it moved towards Ryan!
This War AI Bionic Robot, which had even lost an arm in a major battle in Forest Town.
But after five years, by collecting the fragments of the War AI Bionic Robot and the biotechnology inside the War AI Bionic Robot, its injuries had already healed, although some fragments could not be found, making it look externally old and scarred!
"Not good!"
Laser cannon fire roared, and the thunder and fire power of the Purple Thunder Solar Python erupted, but it did not cause Ryan to panic.
What truly frightened him.
Was the appearance of the War AI Bionic Robot, and the beasts from all directions rushing towards them!
These.
Were all special ability beasts guarding the Silver Iron Forest Pig Demon King, and with the major families having already left, they also surrounded Taylor, creating a deadly situation for Taylor!
This was the current strength of Blackwood.
