BXBX NOVEL Chapter 62: Chapter 62: A mole among
Olivia, seated in a wheelchair, suddenly spoke up. "Elders, with the strength we possess now, why bother with a plan? Why not just march straight into the heart of the Silver Iron Forest and take the Demon King\'s head?"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone turned to look at Olivia, seeing the young girl in the wheelchair, the fourth beloved daughter of Blackwood, and rumored to be the one managing internal and external affairs for Blackwood. Although there was dissatisfaction, no one dared to openly reprimand her.
Nathan, seeing this, snorted coldly, "Lucas, take this nonsense-spewing thing out!"
As Lucas pushed Olivia out of the tent where the discussion was held, Nathan turned to the others with an apologetic smile, "I\'m terribly sorry, the young lady is inexperienced and always aiming too high in managing family affairs. Her jest should not be taken seriously."
Seeing Nathan\'s sincerity, the others did not say much.
This made Taylor Ryan from the Bluefield family frown. He had intended to suggest a direct assault as well. But now that Olivia had voiced his thoughts and Nathan had dismissed them as high-minded nonsense, he found himself unable to speak up, his expression turning sour.
At that moment, Elder Moore from the Clearfield family chuckled, "We are well aware of all the situations within the Silver Iron Forest."
"The Demon King resides in the center, with its subordinate beasts guarding all around. Given this, we should attack from all sides to engage the beasts guarding the Demon King."
"Master Jacob\'s Buddhist teachings are boundless, and he surely has the confidence to defeat the Demon King."
"When the time comes, whether it is the Master aiding us or us aiding the Master, we shall surely succeed!"
After he finished speaking, Elder Moore looked towards Master Jacob, who was meditating in the distance, "Master, what do you think?"
"Good," Master Jacob replied with a smile, not taking the Demon King lightly.
With this strategy set, the seven major families each began their preparations, needing only a single Sky-Piercing Arrow to encircle the Demon King!
Two days passed.
The families went their separate ways, each riding towards their designated positions.
The people of Blackwood did the same, though they were closer to the designated location. However, they did not wait there but headed deeper into the Silver Iron Forest!
It was everyone\'s first time seeing the Boar Monarch Pete, and for a moment, they were stunned.
After all, no matter how demonic, the appearance of the Boar Monarch Pete was still somewhat frightening...
Eventually, it was Nathan who burst into hearty laughter, facing the challenge head-on, "Hahaha, this is our kin, impressively... impressively mighty. I am Nathan, Julian\'s father!"
"Father-in-law???"
The usually cheerful Julian appeared very restrained and a bit bewildered at the moment.
The Boar Monarch Pete stood up, its massive body even causing the dust on its body to scatter in the air, and it spoke softly, "I never thought I\'d have a day to be kin with humans, I\'ve heard of you all. This time, Blackwood\'s help in dealing with the crisis in the Silver Iron Forest will never be forgotten."
"Well said, well said! Since he\'s family to Blackwood, how could we let outsiders bully him?" Nathan grinned.
Watching the Boar Monarch Pete and the people of Blackwood talking amicably, Ethan pursed his lips.
To be honest, when he first discovered that Blackwood\'s kin was a pig, and a Demon King at that, he was just as stunned as Julian, who was now gaping in disbelief.
Looking at Lucas beside him, the young man was scratching his head, blinking continuously and looking around as if questioning his life.
My brother\'s father-in-law... is a pig?
As the people were discussing.
In the scene.
"Whoosh!"
A Sky-Piercing Arrow shot straight into the sky!
Everyone looked up, watching the arrow in the sky, the wind rustling through the Silver Iron Forest, a storm was approaching!
"Kin, we should get busy too," Nathan said sharply.
The Boar Monarch Pete nodded slightly.
"May Blackwood\'s martial fortune prosper!"
Ethan was glued to the screen, eyeing the map of the Silver Iron Forest. After Blackwood made it freely explorable, the fog had cleared, and with a simple click, Ethan could view any scene from anywhere on the map.
At this moment, white dots from six directions were converging towards the Silver Iron Forest. "The game is on," Ethan muttered, squinting slightly.
Ever since he found out that the Boar Monarch Pete was actually Blackwood\'s in-law, this had all been a setup by Blackwood, a scheme that had already cost them a lot of time. And Ethan knew very well that within this grand scheme, Landon Taylor was doomed to lose years of his family\'s legacy right here in the Silver Iron Forest!
On the map, the essential path leading deep into the Silver Iron Forest was completely undefended. Because...
"Disaster strikes! Landon Taylor is wiped out!" someone shouted.
"The Demon King of the Silver Iron Forest appeared; it knew about our seven families\' plan to attack and intercepted Taylor early to defeat us one by one!"
"Landon Taylor\'s people are asking for help. Our elder sent me to see if you guys want to save them?"
These families had barely reached the midpoint when they stopped in their tracks. On the map, four green dots moved towards the four major families, spreading the news of Landon Taylor\'s demise.
These four green dots represented people from Blackwood and the Moore clan!
The four families hesitated for a moment, then almost simultaneously sent four Iron Will experts to investigate before reluctantly retreating the way they came. They had to believe it; after all, this was a warning from two allies. Better safe than sorry.
After all, what would their families do if they died?
"How did the news leak? Could there be a mole among us?"
"Either way, all we can do now is wait for more news."
"What about Master Jacob... Right, when we get back, we\'ll say it was Landon Taylor\'s mess that disrupted everyone\'s plans, and it has nothing to do with us."
In front of the screen, Ethan cracked a smile.
Indeed, there were moles, and not just one but two! Otherwise, the allied forces of the seven families would have marched straight in, without such strategic positioning.
Everything... was under Blackwood\'s control!
