Chapter 369 - Chapter 369: 349 (2/2)
Ultimately, “Hunter in the Fog” Jayern crashed heavily into the sea, raising a spray of waves, appearing so fragile and helpless.
At this moment, he was no longer the soaring Monarch powerful expert, but an ordinary person defeated by a thunderbolt.
“We’ve won!”
The people cheered loudly!
They praised the gods!
The victory was so delightful!
The sea battle finally came to an end, and there was no doubt that the Fischer family and the Romann family had achieved a complete victory. The Royal Family not only suffered heavy casualties and loss of their main naval forces but also captured “Hunter in the Fog” Jayern, the Monarch powerful expert of the Abernathy family, who had once taken his son to the promotion celebration for Chris.
On the other side of the main battlefield, Byrne and Aldrich were restraining the remaining combat strength of the Royal Family with a portion of their troops.
Once the news of victory at sea arrived, they decisively retreated to avoid further losses.
——
A few days later, another family council of the Fischers began.
The people in the basement looked serious, having obtained very important intelligence from their captive, “Hunter in the Fog” Jayern.
“Carnians?”
Byrne muttered to himself, then turned to look at his son Darren, who nodded lightly.
Speaking seriously, Darren said, “After meeting Aldrich, Jayern has been very cooperative with us. He explicitly stated that he does not wish for a civil war, and if it were possible to resolve domestic conflicts quickly, all the better.”
“Whichever side can resolve the conflicts quickly, he supports… and right now, he believes that we’re the side with the better chance of winning!”
He chuckled and said, “At this point, it’s either us or the Words of Tranquility and the Royal Family that must be dealt with.”
“Furthermore, according to him, the Adley Royal Family, under the control of the Words of Tranquility, has no dignity left to speak of; they directly promised the entire East Coast Province to the Carnians in exchange for their help in defeating our two great families!”
“What?”
Everyone was shocked upon hearing this; the East Coast Province was one-tenth of Cyart land!
The fact that the Adley Royal Family was willing to cede it in exchange for the help of the strongest nation in the East, Carnia, was astonishing.
However, everyone soon felt it made sense, for although to the Cyart nobility each inch of land was precious, to the Words of Tranquility who were secretly manipulating the war, it meant nothing.
Taking a deep breath, Byrne said, “Because the Lorne citizens support Vallere, Carnia has received help from the Seven Stars Emperor, even acquiring two Calamity class battle puppets.”
“Thus, the Carnians handed one of these over to the Adley Royal Family.”
“Such a battle puppet possesses near Monarch Level mobility, the offensive power of a low-level Monarch, and the most terrifying feature… a powerful defense barrier arranged by the hands of a Heavenly Enlightenment powerful expert, likely only a high-level Monarch could destroy it!”
Upon saying this, Byrne paused, quickly recalling his initial meeting with Prince Conrad of Carnia, who had helped the Meyer family and the Rhea People oppose Cyart.
It was a ridiculous twist of fate—Carnians and some Cyart people were now allies!
“Perhaps there are never permanent friends or enemies,” he said.
Meanwhile.
On the outskirts of Nasir City, the somewhat elderly Karno quietly gazed at the silhouette of his homeland.
It had been a long time since he had returned.
In fact, if it hadn’t been necessary, Karno would not have considered returning.
The reason for his return this time was that Karno had brought someone very important, an individual who would directly determine the future course of the entire war, and could potentially cause a significant shift in his family’s future.
Therefore, he had to return.
That person was a Lorne citizen.
