Chapter 356: The Domino Effect
The reason why Atayde asked Cyril to go to Athena was because although he didn't know that Lysington and Kelly had colluded with Kafka's empire, he found signs that something was wrong, and Athena obviously knew more about this matter, and then told Cyril the ins and outs of the whole thing.
However, there is one thing that Athena did not say right.
That is, the collusion between Lexington and Kelly and Kafka's empire, not after the decision to crusade against Rocky, but before the crusade against Rocky!
In other words, long before the family council decided to crusade against Rocky, Lysington and Kelly had already had secret ties with Kafka's empire, and they had already decided to attack the Sky Alliance together.
It was precisely because of this incident that Lexington and Kelly were reluctant to crusade against Rocky, all in preparation for a larger plan.
Some people may wonder why the Kafka empire bypassed the patriarch of Atayde and went to Lexington and Kelly to cooperate with such a major matter?
This is not simple, it is precisely because this matter is too big, how can Atayde, as the head of the clan, agree casually?
Moreover, the Myront family is also a well-known big family, and he also knows a lot about the family's patriarch Kafka Empire, and from Ataide's various actions, it can be seen that he belongs to a conservative dove, and it is impossible to easily let the family do such a dangerous thing, so the empire simply spared him and directly found the more radical Lexington and Kelly.
Maybe some people are strange again, such a big thing, even if the Myront family attacks with all their might, it can shake the Sky Alliance?
Of course it can't be, the Mylent family is very large, but it is still too small compared to the Sky Alliance, but the Kafka Empire is not only looking for the Mylent family to cooperate, in fact, the empire has secretly contacted several families and forces, and has formulated a huge and perfect plan.
And the first step of this plan will be carried out by the Myront family, and this step is to crusade against Rocky.
But I never expected that this first move would have a serious deviation, and this deviation was caused by Cyril.
Because Cyril broke away from the family and went to meet with Rocky, the menacing family pounced, and although they arrived at Beishan Village, they did not see Rocky, but instead met the Alliance troops stationed in the village.
This seems to be just a small accident, as if it is insignificant, after all, Rocky is just a front, and everyone's target is actually the Sky Alliance behind him.
But if anyone really thinks so, they are very wrong!
In the eyes of many people, Rocky is indeed insignificant, but he is the fuse of the whole plan, although the fuse will eventually be burned out, it doesn't seem to matter, but don't forget, without this fuse, no matter how powerful the explosive can't be detonated!
It can be said that no one expected that such a mistake would occur in the first step, and at the same time, it was difficult for Abram, who led the troops to confront the Confederate army in the back mountain village.
As Lessington's son, Abram and Cyril's abilities can be said to be comparable, but he didn't dare to make decisions easily in this matter, so he quickly reported the matter to Lessington, and Lessington faced the same problem as Abram, he couldn't do such a big thing, and he reported the matter to Kafka's empire.
This back and forth was delayed for a day or two, and the final result was that the alliance's reinforcements had arrived!
Yes, when Ataide and the others were holding this family meeting to discuss the matter of Cyryl, the reinforcements of the Sky Alliance had already arrived in Beishan Village and officially started a confrontation with the army led by Abram, a scene that Kafka's empire last wanted to see!
Who would have imagined that a small deviation would eventually lead to an impact on the entire plan of Kafka's empire?
But if Lodge knew all of this, he would have understood that in a chain of interrelated events, a small initial change will have a chain reaction that will eventually change the whole event, isn't this a typical domino effect?
In this case, Cyril's move to break away from the family was the small initial change, and the domino effect of this change eventually affected the entire plan of Kafka's empire, and the impact was more than that, in fact, the chain reaction caused by this incident was much greater than imagined.
For example, a series of changes within the Myront family.
The final decision of the family meeting defines Cyril's departure from the family as a defection, and the family has classified Cyril as a wanted criminal like Rocky, and is wanted by all members of the family.
And that's not all, as Cyril's father, Atayde will take full responsibility, so he has been stripped of his dual position as patriarch and elder of the family, and is henceforth just an ordinary member of the family.
In the process, there were even people who offered to ask Atay to hand over his Hundred Machines City and expel him from the family!
It's just that this proposal was quickly rejected, because Lysington and Kelly both knew that it was already the limit to pull Atayde from the patriarchal position through the matter of Cyryl, and if he dared to touch his Hundred Machine City, then the matter would eventually evolve into a split of the entire family.
But even so, Atayde finally lost his dual identity as a patriarch and an elder, and if there was anything left, there was only one hundred machine city left, and at the same time, as he was pulled down from the position of patriarch, the faction he represented also completely lost power in the family, and the power of the entire Myrond family changed dramatically.
The impact of this change not only affected the Myronde family, but also involved many outsiders, after all, the Myronde family is a big family, and it has a complicated relationship with many other Sky Cities and many other forces, so this change of power within the family will undoubtedly have an extremely far-reaching change in this relationship.
It stands to reason that such a big family like the Myronde family, such a big change in high-level power, will definitely become the focus of everyone's attention, and it will undoubtedly be reported by the Shadow Alliance, but in April of 118, this matter was almost not noticed by anyone, for the simple reason that a larger and more serious event occurred at the same time, and this incident did not only affect a small number of people, but affected the entire sky!
Many forces and families attacked the Sky Alliance at the same time, and a great war broke out that affected the entire sky!
