Stanley Family Castle.

A medium-sized castle made of crisp white sandy oyster rock.

As a special stone produced in the Gobi zone of the inner ring of Alsa, sand oyster rock has the characteristics of white as jade and hard as rigid, but because of this characteristic, it is difficult for them to be used as building materials, after all, the industry of Arsa is not too developed, and the cutting and polishing technology of this special stone is not enough.

However, the Stanley family's family heritage has the ability to mine and polish sand oysters, making them the only family in the country of Gus to have a castle made of pure sand oyster. You must know that Lord Crow's castle is only used in some key locations.

Fortunately, Crowley didn't care about these things at all, and fortunately, the Stanley family was raised by Aresta, otherwise the family would have been wiped out.

Inside one of the Stanley family's secret rooms.

"The current situation is quite troublesome, are we going to watch Nicholas eat away at our power little by little? Now it's Fred's guy who eats inside and out, but next, who knows if any other guy will fall to Nicholas as well? Gary Stanley's face was full of worry.

He was joined by Isaac Bobby, Johnny Donner, Goodall Pan and Marcos Payne.

These four families are the staunchest supporters of Aresta - at least that's what they preach, and it was the four of them who first sided with Aresta this time.

As for the other families, they are still waiting and seeing.

Fred's actions gave them a pact to attack, but it also put pressure on them.

They still can't figure out how Fred suddenly went from a guy with no talent to a gold level 3 in just a few days, and suddenly became a platinum level 8? The only thing that is certain is that this is definitely Tang Dou's means.

But what means did Tang Dou use? Is this a universal tool? Is this a means that can be replicated?

If so, then they are dangerous.

In a wild place like Arsa, power is everything, and the essence of everything that everyone is chasing is power.

So if one can give oneself great strength, how many people will not be tempted?

Even the four people present, when they asked themselves, they had to admit that if Tang Dou could really let them have such a leap in strength, they didn't dare to pat their chests and say that they wouldn't be tempted.

In Arsa, everything is about strength.

Hearing Gary's words, the other three look at me, I look at you, and there was no sound for a while.

"What? Have you begun to waver? Gary snorted.

Johnny frowned slightly: "Gary, don't think that you are Lord Aresta's henchman, you are really one level above us. It's not your turn yet. Don't give us buttons at every turn. We waver? In my opinion, you are shaking up and down like this. We don't open our mouths, we're just seriously thinking about countermeasures! ”

"And what do you think of?" Gary was-for-tat.

Johnny gave Gary an impatient look, "What did you think of again?" Don't bark like a sand coyote, that's useless! ”

Gary was furious and slapped the table: "Johnny, what do you mean?" ”

Johnny was just about to sneer back when he heard Goodall knock on the table: "Alright, alright, it really depends on the other party's displeasure, and when we are finished, you can go to the duel, or whoever takes refuge in Nicholas and kills whom." Can you put your energy back to the main topic now? ”

Johnny and Gary stopped talking.

Isaac, who had always been known as a wise man among the four, coughed lightly: "Alright, let's talk about what we should say!" ”

He paused for a moment and took some scrolls from his bosom: "That's all I can collect at the moment. First of all, we can be sure that Fred's strength did start to skyrocket in that half a month. The only thing he did before that was to meet Nicholas, and then he returned to the Adley family for half a month of retreat, and after he came out, he became a platinum level 8 powerhouse, and he also had a colorless and tasteless poison in his hands that could poison a platinum-level powerhouse to death! ”

"Also, after Fred became Nicholas's vassal, seven days have passed, and Nicholas has not reacted in any way, but has made an appointment with Ryan and Harley again today, you can imagine what they are doing now!"

"Finally, and most crucially, everything we are doing now is really nothing more than our own choice, and Lord Aresta has not even given us any instructions!"

The last one is the most crucial.

Aresta seemed to be really threatened by Crowley and Tang Dou, and he had been in his small courtyard for nearly a month, living a life without leaving home every day, and the guards around him were all arranged by Tang Dou.

On the surface, it is to protect Aresta's safety, but in fact, everyone understands that this is to spy on the other party and prevent the other party from coming into contact with other families.

And now these four families are jumping up and down like this, it is nothing more than because they are pro-Aresta factions, and except for the Stanley family, who stood on the right side at the beginning, not only did not lose in the civil strife, but made a lot of money, the other three families were the ones who suffered the worst losses at the beginning.

They are now jumping out to support Aresta, to put it bluntly, for their own sake, because they found that Tang Dou has been suppressing them and weakening their strength, and if this continues, they may even fall from the ranks of the big families, and finally become a "retail investor" like those small and medium-sized families.

And they jumped out to support Aresta at this time, which is nothing more than an idea of "from the dragon's work".

Regardless of whether Aresta intends to kill Crowley himself as the head of the country, or return to his original position as a director, as long as Aresta takes the throne, the benefits of their followers will naturally be indispensable.

But now the question is, what if Aresta doesn't want to get back in place at all?

Aren't the four of them just working in vain?

No, what is even more terrifying than working in vain is that they chose to fight with Tang as an enemy.

A guy as terrifying and mysterious as Aresta is impossible to fathom.

This is the definition of Tang Dou by the major families of the Gusi Kingdom.

Especially when he quelled the civil strife with a thunderbolt, resisted the invasion of the Sand Tooth Country, and finally killed the Sand Tooth Country like a cloud, everyone trembled.

"Isaac, you mean you want to stop?" Gary looked at the other man with a dangerous gaze, as if he would immediately pounce on the other party as soon as the other person nodded.

Since Aresta returned, the guy has become a little crazy and paranoid.

He was so high-profile, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was a crazy advocate of Aresta.

Isaac didn't care about Gary's threatening gaze, just looked into the other party's eyes, and said slowly: "Do you think you, me, the four of us here, or the four of us together, are really Nicholas's opponents?" If you think so, then call out the man who can fight against Nicholas, and I, the Bobby family, will obey his word and never be half-hearted! Can you find it? ”

Gary was stuck.

It would be strange if he could find out.

"Then you should understand that the only way for us to defeat Nicholas is to get in touch with Lord Aresta, and only under his command can we win this battle with Nicholas." Isaac finished lightly, then kept silent.

is worthy of being a wise general, Isaac's way of slapping his face can be described as fresh and refined, pumping Gary who is jumping up and down, and making the other party unable to say half a sentence.

"But Nicholas has laid layers of defenses outside, and there are a bunch of rune golems, and none of the spies I sent out can get in touch with Lord Aresta!" Gary also had to complain in frustration at this time, "That guy has so many ghost ideas, even he discovered that I asked someone to dig a tunnel from the ground, and he caused the lake to drown some of my best spies in it!" That guy actually poisoned the water! ”

Johnny sighed at this time, too: "We can't even see Lord Aresta from a distance, Nicholas carved runes in that courtyard, and from a distance we can only see a foggy patch. All I can say is that in Gus, or even in the entire inner ring, there may not be a more powerful runemaster than him! ”

"We're going to come up with a solution! Otherwise......" Gary was about to answer again, but suddenly heard a commotion outside the backroom.

The other three naturally heard it, and at the same time raised their heads in some astonishment.

Johnny also teased: "Brother Gary, it looks like your house rules need to be straightened out!" ”

But as soon as he finished speaking, the door of the secret room was opened, and a Stanley family guard leader rushed over with a panicked face.

"What's the matter?" Gary looked at each other viciously. He had already decided that if it wasn't a big deal, he would have to screw the other person's head off.

"Head of the house, we are under attack, someone is attacking us!" The head of the guard looked terrified.

"What?" Gary jumped up all at once, "Who is it?" Nicholas? ”

"No, we don't know. Those guys suddenly appeared at various points of the castle and started fighting without saying a word. These guys are heavily armored and impermeable, their level is not high, but their combat effectiveness is amazing, and they also have a special ability, our people are not their opponents at all! The head of the guard had sweat all over his face, and when he spoke of the attacker, his eyes showed uncontrollable fear.

"Calm down, what kind of person is he? What rank do they have? And what kind of ability? Isaac spoke calmly. There was a reassuring power in his tone.

The head of the guard calmed down a moment: "It's some strange guys, they are wearing gold and bronze full-body armor, the armor has a lot of runes carved on it, their level is at the ninth level of bronze, and occasionally a few below the third level of silver, but they have a strange ability, which is launched from time to time, after each launch, everyone around them will be drained of their soul power and become extremely weak, and then they will take this opportunity to kill!" ”

"And their heavy armor defense is amazing, the gold-level worship can't be directly shattered with a single blow, and I saw that one of the worshippers pierced the heart of one of the guys with a single shot, but the other party didn't do anything at all, and took advantage of the sacrifice to lose his mind, and cut off the head of the worship!"

The head of the guard told what he knew, which made the faces of the four people in the secret room more and more ugly.

Gary's face was of course the most ugly one: "Piercing the heart without dying, and such a strange ability, it must be Nicholas's rune puppet, did he make an even more powerful rune puppet?" ”

The question is obvious.

Although those strange armored monsters didn't have any obvious signs, it was that weird ability that was enough to make people associate with Tang Dou.

Now everyone in the country of Gusi has a common concept, that is, if anything strange and incomprehensible happens, it must be related to Tang Dou.

"Take my family master's order and invite the old worshippers out!" There are some particularly powerful old worshippers in a big family, at least all of them are platinum level 5.

The Stanley family has four old worshippers, all of whom are platinum-level, and the strongest one is platinum-level seven.

However, they will not act lightly, and they will only do it if the head of the house gives the order.

"Go out and have a look!" Isaac greeted him, and the four merfolk walked out of the chamber.

The shouting of killing was even more obvious when they left the secret room, and they quickly followed the shouting to a small square in the castle, where a dozen armored monsters and a group of Stanley family private soldiers were engaged in a scuffle.

"Hey, what a weapon of war!" Isaac looked at it for a moment and then took a cool breath.

"How?" Johnny asked.

"These guys are heavily armored and extremely heavy, and the agility of their movements shows how strong they are. Under the same level, such a physique will bring them more powerful combat effectiveness, and at the same time, these heavy armors make them invulnerable, and even a gold-level full blow can be blocked by them with the heavy shield in their hands, if you want to kill them, you need absolute strength, or crowd tactics! ”

"But they are not easy to besiege, at least not in general. If it's in an open place, such a guy is easy to deal with, through a lot of long-range damage assistance, plus the encirclement and suppression of cavalry, there is not much of a problem, but in the city, they are quite difficult to deal with. This is a weapon specially developed for fighting in the city! If they're really a new kind of rune puppet, then Nicholas is specifically researched to target us! ”

Isaac's analysis left Johnny and the others in silence.

And Gary didn't care about listening to Isaac's analysis at this time, he saw that the four old worshippers had finally arrived, and immediately shouted: "Kill those monsters, kill those monsters!" (To be continued.) )
