197. Riley Clan
At this moment, when the entire blood clan battlefield was in chaos, Sean had already secretly come to the range of the Giovanni clan's power network. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the underworld, each clan of the blood clan has its own clan territory, no matter whether the clan is strong or weak, as long as the clan is not annexed and destroyed, this clan territory will always exist. All resources located in the clan's territory are also under the clan's overall planning, distribution, and utilization, and any outsiders entering must abide by the laws formulated by the local clan.
This, like the nations of the surface world, has complete, perfect, intact sovereignty.
As long as your clan can afford to pay, you can even assemble a large, invincible Bloodline army.
However, even if the blood clan army is formed, according to the order of the blood clan precept that "the inferior must obey the superior", the social structure of the entire blood clan is completely different from the image of a sovereign state on the surface, and it looks more like the relationship between royalty and lord in an empire.
Because no matter which clan has assembled a larger and more powerful army than the Thirteen Clans, they will still have to obey unconditionally when faced with the orders of the Thirteen Clans to which their respective bloodlines belong - this is the real reason why Dorn was able to assemble this almost unprecedented Bloodline Alliance. Because as long as the opinions of the thirteen clans reach an agreement, once they join forces, it will be the entire blood clan that will move.
Therefore, even though the entire clan territory of the blood clan has countless large and small, densely packed clan territories, it can actually be divided into thirteen criss-crossing power networks. It's just that these thirteen power networks are different according to their influence and distance from their own clans, so they have different levels from each other: the closer they are to the territory of their own clan, the more subordinate clans that belong to the same clan around them, and the higher the level will naturally be.
Like Sean's current location: the territory of the Riley clan, which is closest to the territory of the Giovanni clan of this sect, and the territory of the Dominic clan and the territory of the Paul clan are bordered by it, so the level of this Giovanni power network composed of them is naturally the highest level of the first level.
As the blood alliance army convened by this sect, no matter how much Riley and Dorne have an uncommunicable hatred, she still can't refuse the order of the family master, so she can only transfer all her clan members out, and only keep a minimum of guardian power.
However, given that the entire underworld is now completely in turmoil, and the six holy blood races and various other creatures of the underworld are also involved in this war, in fact, no clan will be too lively. Even the cowards and the wanderers who had no intention of going to war at all lingered in the various clans - of course, some robbers and bandits who took advantage of the fire to rob.
Therefore, a minimum of guardian power is still needed.
For example, the Riley clan left only four marquis and twelve counts as an emergency response, and there were about thirty or so viscounts and barons, as well as a guardian force composed of more than a hundred knights and lords. As for the other members of the blood clan, they were taken away by the three dukes cultivated by the Riley clan.
Originally, the power of Riley's clan was more than that, but after Riley's sister died tragically at the hands of Dorne, Riley and Dorne had a conflict, and that conflict caused Riley's power to be destroyed by more than half. If it weren't for the fact that Riley herself is a prince, and her combat power is indeed not weak, plus the surrounding Paul clan and Dominica clan are deliberately hiding, the Riley clan that has been hit by such a fatal blow would have been swallowed up by other equally powerful prince clans long ago.
However, according to the information that Serena heard from Serena, it was Riley who was taken by Dorne when she was fighting with Dorne, so he ordered that no one was allowed to annex the Riley clan, so no one dared to do anything to the Riley clan.
After all, being regarded as a forbidden existence by the tyrant of Dorne is not something that anyone is qualified to provoke.
After entering the territory of the Riley clan, Sean found a gathering place in the clan without much effort. He only inquired a little, and he knew where Riley's castle was built, of course, his inquiry was also a little naked, and there was almost nothing to hide, so naturally he was quickly targeted by some well-intentioned people.
But Sean didn't care about this, anyway, he didn't plan to hide his whereabouts.
Because in today's chaotic underground world, the appearance of any stranger will cause many people to be vigilant. Sean didn't want Riley to be too wary of himself, so he directly put his purpose openly, maybe it could play a more positive and effective role.
Soon, just as Sean had predicted, he was stopped by a Marquis Bloodline on his way out of the gathering towards the castle where Riley lived.
This marquis did not come alone, he was followed by four members of the Earl's Rank Blood Clan, which was almost half of the high-end combat power of the entire Riley Clan today.
From this, Sean can see that Riley is a woman with a rather cautious and cautious personality.
Of course, it may also be because of the results of the previous battle with Dorne, which caused this woman's personality to be completely changed. However, Sean does not hate women with this character, after all, if everything goes well, she will be the core of the force team formed by Kane, with such a cautious and cautious woman, Kane can save a lot of trouble, because no one wants reckless people in the leadership of their inner circle.
"A fresh face." The marquis who blocked the way whistled, and his whole temperament seemed a little unscrupulous.
Sean smiled at the ruffian vampire in front of him, and then said, "I'm here to find Riley, and I want to talk to her about something." ”
Then after thinking about it, Sean asked again, "How to call it?" ”
Hearing Sean's words, the marquis who was blocking the way put away the hippie smile and hanging-like expression on his face, and the ruffian aura on his body quickly turned into a mature and stable aristocratic young temperament. Seeing the change in the temperament of this Marquis of the Blood Clan, Sean couldn't help but think of a sentence: Every Blood Clan, as long as they have the traditional rank above the baron, will inevitably become an elegant and noble master of etiquette, and this elegant temperament will become more and more obvious as their strength level increases.
"Sutir." The marquis spoke, but suddenly he noticed that his voice was a little dry, as if the water in his body had been evaporated.
He would come out to intercept it himself because he received a report from one of his viscounts.
In the report, although the viscount himself did not have much subjective consciousness, he just mentioned it very casually: it seems that he is an ordinary person, and he does not feel much power.
But it was such a seemingly random sentence that aroused his vigilance. He didn't think that the person who dared to walk alone in the blood clan's territory at this time would be a person with little power, so he concluded that this person's strength must be the marquis rank. As for why it is not the rank of duke or above, he thinks that the strong man of this rank must have been fighting on the battlefield, and who will run around if he has nothing to do, and he is so blatantly inquiring about Riley's location.
It was precisely because of this consideration that he would bring four powerhouses of the earl rank to intercept and inquire about the true purpose of the other party.
Of course, in order to confuse his opponent, he deliberately pretended to be a ruffian in an attempt to weaken his opponent's psychological vigilance.
It can be said that the marquis, who called himself Sutir, has used all the means at his disposal.
But when he really met and talked to Sean, he realized that his assessment was still too low. Just by making eye contact, he felt a powerful pressure, even if he didn't say it explicitly, but Sutir's intuition told him that in front of the black-haired and black-eyed man in front of him, all his disguises were exposed.
With that, the Marquis of the Blood Clan put away all his disguises and became serious.
"Well, that's a great name." Sean politely said, "Okay, so now, can you take me to meet Riley?" ”
"I'm afraid not." Suthir took a deep breath, in front of the strong, he had already shown his humility, but in terms of loyalty, he also showed his determination, "At least, I can't put my head of my family under threat until I am sure of your intentions." ”
Hearing the marquis's words, the faces of the four counts who followed him all showed horror.
Listening to Sutir, it was their head of the family, Prince Riley, even in front of this man who didn't seem to have much strength, he was actually on the side of the threat!
How can they not be horrified by this?
"Oh?" Sean raised his eyebrows, and a look of interest began to appear on his face, "Your natural ability...... I see, is it keenness? Or the sixth sense? This is a rare realm of law. ”
Suter's face instantly turned unusually pale, and soon, even the skin color of the rest of his body began to turn pale, as if all the blood had been drained in this instant. A strong sense of dizziness hit his head, he couldn't even stand on his feet at all, and he fell backwards under a shake, if it weren't for the four Blood Earls behind him, he would definitely fall directly to the ground, and then end up being slaughtered by others.
"Perception is also one of many laws, and it can be regarded as an intermediate derivative mutation law." Sean said calmly, "This ability can indeed make you have stronger combat effectiveness in battle, and you can keenly perceive danger, so as to dodge in advance and increase your survivability." …… It's not for nothing that Riley kept you, but although you are smart, you still can't grasp Riley's true intentions. ”
With each more word Sean, Sutir's face turned even paler, because he had realized that he had made an extremely fatal mistake.
That is, he shouldn't have come in person.
"Well, but these are minor problems, you're still young." Sean smiled, "There's still a lot of time to learn from these experiences. ”
It would be ridiculous to ask a human in his thirties to say that a young blood clan who has lived for hundreds of years is very ridiculous no matter how you look at it, but when this is said by Sean, I am afraid that there are not many people in this world who can laugh.
"But you know what's your biggest problem today?" Sean continued.
"Yes...... What ......" Suthir opened his mouth with some difficulty, the blood in his body was about to be drained, and the whole person was so weak that he could pass out at any time.
"That is, you have sensed my danger, but you still want to use the power of the law to probe me."
Sean smiled, others may not be able to see clearly, and even Sutir, who has already used the power of the law, doesn't quite understand, but all this is very clear in Sean's eyes: the ropes condensed by the power of the law extending from Sutir's body are all wrapped around Sean's body, but the power of the law on Sean's body and his own strength are obviously countless grades stronger than Sutir, so if these law ropes want to entangle Sean, Suthir must pay the price with his own essence and blood consumption, This is the same as Sean's ability to constantly use space-time acceleration when facing that legendary spider demon.
It's just that in the past, Sutir's ability to control is to send and receive freely. But today, he was facing Sean, who had already reached the fourteenth order, so when he tried to probe Sean's subtle strength and wrap these law ropes around Sean's body, these law ropes immediately lost control.
Right now, it is not Suthir who wants to break the ropes of these laws, but Sean has the final say.
"This time, I should teach you a lesson." Sean chuckled, "Learn to be smart in the future, and obviously perceive the strength and danger of the opponent, so don't use this method to probe anymore, because your control power cannot surpass the opponent's." …… Oh, maybe when you get into the legend, the prince, you might want to give it a try. ”
As he said this, Sean's body shook slightly, and all the law ropes were broken.
Sutir, on the other hand, directly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then fainted.
The four Blood Clan Counts who were supporting Sutil were even more dazed at the moment, and the subtle trembling appearance of their bodies completely exposed their inner fear. They only knew that the Marquis of Sutier, who had always been regarded as a strong man by them, was actually stunned by only a few words from the other party - with their strength, it was naturally impossible to see the invisible confrontation between Suthir and Sean just now, and even Suthir himself was not very clear.
In the underworld, no weak person has a voice.
Even Suthir was already stunned, and the trembling thoughts of these four Blood Earls, Sean could naturally guess it.
"Take me to Riley, I won't embarrass you."
"No need." A cold female voice rang out as soon as Sean's words fell, "I'm here myself." (To be continued.) )
