Chapter 386: The Family Meeting Begins
It is an indisputable fact that if you fall behind, you will be beaten, the era of cavalry charges has long passed, and there is no doubt about the lethality of large-scale thermal weapons.
Although it was not widely used, the team on Kelot's side did have this weapon, and the cavalry of nearly 100 people encountered twenty bazookas with plenty of ammunition, and the consequences were extremely tragic.
Before rushing to the front of the people, because of the dragon roar of Kailot, they forcibly endured two rounds of artillery fire, coupled with the crazy retreat of the horses after being frightened, causing chaos in formation, trampling on each other, and when all the chaos is over, it is the lucky and powerful who can still ride the horses forward.
There are only about 20 people left, it can be said that these are the backbone members of the three major mercenary groups, but this does not play a big role, looking at the tall soldiers standing in front of them with heavy weapons in their hands, what else can they do, they can only desperately turn the horse's head and quickly run towards another place.
"Get on the horse and get around!"
The front was full of mercenaries and horses, and the team turned to the side, and no one came out to stop the rest of the journey, and the backbone of the mercenary group was half-crippled, and it was indeed difficult to organize a decent attack.
After spending the rest of the time without danger, he finally arrived outside the Bennett family's manor, and before the family council began, the gate to the outside of the manor was closed, in order to prevent the heirs from entering to make some "special" arrangements, which would cause unfair results.
At this time, there was only Lance's team at the door, and now it was only five minutes before the start of the family council!
Lance looked very unhappy, and was reprimanding several subordinates around him with a black face, obviously he should have received the news of the previous failure, and now seeing Mina, the degree of blackness in his face deepened a little, and there was a little more gloomy.
"Lance, it's so early, it seems that a lot of preparations have been made, but it's a pity...... These preparations have no significant effect, since I am standing in front of this manor, you are doomed to lose this meeting!"
Mina tilted her head, this was the prerogative of the victor, she was confident enough that as long as the meeting began, no one would be able to snatch the position of head of the family from her.
"Heh, then I'll just wait and see, I wish you success!"
The aristocratic upbringing did not allow Lance to swear, and with a gloomy face of congratulations, he retreated into his ranks, and Mina, Kailot, and the others stood on the other side, and the two groups of people were distinct and smelled of gunpowder.
Mina's arrival was bad news for Lance, the worst kind, roughly equivalent to a boiled duck in a pot about to fly away.
The comparison of the advantages of the two sides, Lance also knows in his heart, if he has so many industries in the Lorraine Empire and other countries, he will not even obstruct any heirs, because he knows that no one can compete with him for this position, but he doesn't, he only has a mercenary group under his hands.
If there is no giant invasion, his achievements in this area do have a competitive power with Mina, but who let the giants invade now, no matter how powerful the mercenary group is, it can't be used to resist the impact of the giants after all, and the Bennett family wants to change the place of development, and the mercenaries can't help in this regard......
It was impossible to give up, so there were only some special means, and Lance remembered a proposal from his own men last night, when he vetoed it, because everyone was from the Bennett family anyway, and he didn't want to do anything about it.
"Last night's proposal...... Are you prepared?"
Now that Mina doesn't know each other, there are some things that she doesn't want to do!
"You can do it at any time, you always have the stuff with you, they think they will win if they enter the manor, but as long as you kill Mina, you are the only owner of the Bennett family!"
The leader of a mercenary group whispered to Lance's side, now they and Lance are grasshoppers on the same rope, one is prosperous and the other is lost, and now this situation, if it continues to develop, it will be a failure, so it must be changed by special operations.
"Then prepare. ”
Lance's face improved a little, and he turned to the gate of the manor, waiting for the family meeting to begin.
The gate of the manor is opened by the Bennett guards!
Only two heirs were present, Lance Bennett and Mina Bennett, and the rest of the heirs were automatically disqualified, and Mina and Lance stood at the front of their respective teams and entered Bennett Manor.
The manor covers a huge area, there is still a distance from the door to the villa where the family council is held, the atmosphere is very heavy, the team stops in front of the family villa, and Kelot looks at this building that is no smaller than the Omtar Great Library, the real core building of the Bennett family, and the family members who participated in the meeting are all in it at this time.
Each heir has time to prepare before entering the council hall, and the two sides put the finishing touches on what they have to say, which is ten minutes, and the places for Mina and Lance are the left and right side halls.
The hall on the right was where Lance was, and as soon as he entered, his men quickly closed the door, and several metal boxes were brought to the table, and when they were opened, there were a large number of metal parts, which were assembled and finally shaped into three Hidden Arrows!
"This is an enchanted sleeve arrow commissioned by our equipment master Lord Douglas, it has a strong armor-piercing ability, and it is also smeared with poison, as long as it hits, it will die!"
Knock knock!
In the middle of the mercenary leader's speech, there was a knock on the door of the conference room, and three waitresses entered, each of whom was petite and looked very weak.
"This is the hands-on man?"
Lance frowned, he was worried about not succeeding.
"Please rest assured, these three people are the dead soldiers we have specially cultivated, and they will enter the left hall in a while to carry out a mortal assassination, whether they succeed or fail, they will kill themselves immediately!
The expressions on the faces of the three maids were dull, and their eyes were cold, because it was just the waiter, they would definitely keep their heads down later, so no one could see their expressions.
"Very good, the assassination is successful, and you all have a big reward!"
Lance's brow still couldn't relax, as long as the news of the assassination success came, he couldn't rest assured.
"Young Master, if the assassination fails, we ......"
The three mercenary captains were on the side, and next to Lance stood his butler, who was the person he trusted the most and was responsible for the most confidential matters.
"Hmph, I can't be the head of the house, Mina will definitely not let me go, there is no need for the Bennett family to exist, the magic crystal cannon will aim here for me, Mina will start first later, if she succeeds in entering, we will leave, fire the cannon to flatten this place, the old guys inside are all dead, the Bennett family can only be mine!"
Lance has been in business for so many years, and there are still some hole cards.
