“Alas.”
Seeing Dylan Harding’s state, the elder sighed. He knew Dylan Harding’s father had died in Mountland, dealing him a huge blow that he still hadn’t recovered from.
And now the family had assigned this mission.
The mission was supposedly to help South Land break Mountland.
But was Mountland really so easy to break? Even if it was easy, was it really safe? Behind this great glory lay great danger, since that Primus was there.
With Primus there, Mountland was a dangerous place.
So when this mission came down, the few main inheritors of the family chose not to accept it – the risks were too high. They passed the mission to Dylan Harding instead. Dylan had to accept this mission.
After all, his father had died in Mountland. If he rejected the mission, it would seem questionable.
The few main inheritors were in cities nearby, waiting for the city to fall so they could charge out and claim final victory, plucking the fruits of others’ labor.
As for Dylan Harding’s contributions, contributions… Hmph, Dylan Harding was making amends through achievements, what contributions did he need?
If he failed this mission as well, then Dylan Harding would be finished.
Under the pressure from those inheritors, Dylan Harding would have no hope of becoming an inheritor of the Harding family for life, with no chance of turning things around.
But they didn’t know the current Dylan Harding was different from before.
The mission?
The city falling?
Hmph.
The mission certainly wouldn’t succeed, and Mountland certainly wouldn’t fall. And afterwards, he would certainly be sidelined for good.
Never to turn things around.
But he had asked Primus to help him with one thing – kill, kill the few main Harding family inheritors of those cities. Once they were all killed, he would definitely be reinstated.
There were many outstanding youths of the younger generation, but if Primus killed them all, only he would remain.
No matter what mistakes he made, he would be brought back.
Even made the family head.
Moreover, he had provided the identities, locations, and weaknesses of those few, as well as the people he had planted around them. Naturally, they had also planted people around Dylan Harding.
But after the previous time, all of Dylan Harding’s people had died.
All the old men of their branch had died.
“Robin, I won’t let you off, I won’t let you off.”
Of course, on the surface, Dylan Harding still maintained his act, eyes bloodshot and full of hatred, roaring in the ancestral hall, allowing the elder and people outside to hear.
“Alas.”
The elder sighed and left.
The pain of losing one’s father.
Very painful. He wouldn’t disturb Dylan here.
There were quite a few people around who heard this, but what flashed in their eyes wasn’t sadness but a hint of joy, because Dylan Harding’s branch had been weakened to the point of collapse. Their branches could now rise up.
The allocation of resources would be greater.
The people of the main branch also breathed sighs of relief.
Dylan Harding’s branch had been too strong, even vaguely suppressing the main branch. But now, cut in half with the old men dead, it let them breathe easier and even gloat.
However, while crying, Dylan Harding went to a hidden place and took out a phone. He inserted a new card and made a call: “The Harding family is making a move…”
At the same time, in Mountland.
In Master Lewis’ villa, after hanging up the phone, Master Lewis looked at the people around him. Allie and Nina Houry were there, as was James Harding, but Robin was absent.
Robin wasn’t here.
“That was my son who called right, he’s coming to Mountland?”
James Harding sat on the sofa, face extremely gloomy.
He had been knocked out and brought here.
Previously he had desperately wanted to die, feeling that he couldn’t become a burden to his son. These ancient clans placed great importance on family inheritance. But later he figured it out.
There was no going back now. Even if he committed suicide, so what? Dylan Harding had promised Primus to be his spy.
This couldn’t be denied.
Even if the Harding family didn’t kill Dylan Harding, Dylan would be imprisoned for life, his life still ruined.
So after calming down, he resigned himself to obediently staying here.
Though his expression was still extremely ugly, because betraying meant that even in death, he wouldn’t be able to be buried in the ancestral tomb – somewhat unbearable for someone like James Harding.
But for his son, he could endure it.
“Yes. Dylan Harding sent word that the enemy has formed a Destruction Cavalry. After entering Mountland, they will charge into the Kisia interior to carry out a campaign of living off the land through slaughter.”
Master Lewis’ expression was also extremely gloomy, and his grip on the phone tightened.
“South Land, how dare they!”
Master Lewis gnashed his teeth furiously.
Living off the land through slaughter!
That meant any city this Destruction Cavalry passed would be slaughtered without survivors. Passing one city meant massacring one. Kisia would suffer a frenzy of devastation.
“This South Land is too despicable, how dare they attack civilians.”
Allie also gnashed his teeth.
The France family had come to provide aid, but they hadn’t expected South Land to be so ruthless, desperately slaughtering. In wars between countries, it was usually a contest between armies, but involving civilians was too despicable.
Wherever this Destruction Cavalry passed would surely meet a gruesome end.
“Slaughter!”
This time even James Harding was shocked. The Harding family was cooperating with the South Land army – one side aimed to occupy South Province, while the remaining Kisia would be ruled by the Harding family.
That was the cooperation.
But slaughtering and massacring cities, even he as someone from the Harding family couldn’t condone this.
James Harding’s expression was uncertain. This news wouldn’t have been told to Dylan Harding by the Harding family, because the South Land army didn’t dare tell the Harding family, as it violated their cooperation.
So this news was discovered by Dylan Harding himself.
Then relayed to them.
From this perspective, he still felt his son had done the right thing this time. The South Land army absolutely could not be allowed to pass, absolutely not. If they passed, all of Kisia would suffer unimaginable devastation.
This couldn’t happen.
“I can contribute my strength.”
After a long silence, James Harding slowly spat out a murky breath.
“You can’t. Primus has ordered that you can only stay here.”
Master Lewis glanced at James Harding and said. No matter what James Harding said, his words were useless since Primus had ordered him to stay here, so he had to stay here.
“Tiger.”
Suddenly, Master Lewis called out.
“Here.”
Tiger, who was nearby, responded.
“Go, to the city wall, prepare to defend it. At the same time, spread the news that the South Land army has formed a cavalry unit to massacre cities.” Master Lewis tilted his neck, a fiery light flashing in his eyes.
There were garrison commanders on the city wall, but they were too old and even had trouble walking. Originally they didn’t want to go.
But now they had to.
