Chapter 378: Confession (I)
May 6, 1002 A.M., Europa, Ilia Peninsula.
Not to mention Caesar, with the help of many Holy See agents, gradually investigated the huge suspicion of Lynn, and on this day, after dealing with the affairs of Sea Demon Bay, Lynn flew all the way to the port of Witham of the Hall family.
Because the Holy See has opened the road to hell and once again arranged a large number of criminal prisoners to go to the Black Earth Continent for an expedition, the Hall family in charge of logistics seems to be extremely busy, as the patriarch of the Hall family, Donald also personally sits here in case something goes wrong, he doesn't want to be attacked by some hostile families because the logistics are not done well.
On the trestle bridge of Wittham Harbor, Donald, who was tall and majestic, with an arrogant face like a lion, stood quietly here, and the stewards of the Hall family around him tried their best to stay away from here, not daring to disturb the head of the family, because Donald's face was very gloomy, which was rare to see on his face, which had always been close to the people, and it could be seen that something must be bothering him.
Cargo ship after cargo ship sailed into the port of Witham from a distance, and the stewards of the Hall family loudly instructed the workers to unload all kinds of goods, during which the sound of leather whips and the muffled snorts of the workers in pain were heard from time to time, which was a small punishment for the lazy slippery head found by the steward.
Speaking of the source of Donald's troubles, there are two, one is that Lynn's life and death are unknown, according to the internal sources of the Holy See, the two billion troops of this expedition to the Black Earth Continent have been wiped out, and even there is gossip that the twelve paladins have all fallen. Donald was nearby when Hell Road was blown up that day, and he knew all too well that after losing the logistics. The various dilemmas that the expeditionary army had to face.
The first is the issue of drinking water. The northern part of the Black Earth Continent is a vast desert as far as the eye can see. Without water, no matter how brave a soldier is, he has to become a dried corpse, followed by food, Donald, who has been in charge of the logistics of the expeditionary army, clearly knows that the food stored in the expeditionary force camp is only enough for half a month, even if the expeditionary army reduces the allocated number to support a month, but the decline in the combat effectiveness of the soldiers has become inevitable.
At this time, as long as those black soil natives are not stupid. It will definitely take the opportunity to launch an attack, and it is a large-scale attack, and the expeditionary army is in danger of being wiped out, after all, the expeditionary army is a territory operation on the black soil continent, and after the logistics are cut off, the expeditionary army will not last long, so Donald is very worried about Lynn.
Donald is really very satisfied with his son, who has returned from exile, not only looks talented, but also has excellent talent. Whether it is in terms of personal cultivation qualifications, or in terms of strategic command. They are all first-class geniuses, this is a great gift from God to the Hall family!
Even, Donald has already planned that after the end of this expeditionary war, he will gradually transfer the power of the family to his son, and there will be a transition period of more than ten years, and his son will definitely be able to take charge of the Hall family and carry it forward...... It's a pity that the explosion of the road to hell makes this qiē seem ethereal, and the son doesn't know whether he is dead or alive!
As for the gossip that the twelve paladins have fallen, Donald is noncommittal, in his opinion, the twelve paladins are the treasures of the Holy See, even if the expeditionary army is all dead, they will be firmly protected, and, next, Caesar's divine appearance also makes this gossip self-defeating.
That's the second thing that worries Donald. At the beginning, Donald didn't know the purpose of Caesar's secret investigation, but when Caesar Holy blatantly investigated Lynn in the Via Peninsula, and the Blood Parrot Pirate Regiment secretly sent someone to send the news, Donald immediately knew that Caesar, the first paladin, was investigating his eldest son.
Is this aimed at Lynn or the Hall family? Is it his personal behavior or the instructions of the Holy See's higher-shang? The difference is very big, if it is just Caesar's personal investigation of Lynn, then it is nothing, anyway, the last time Donald saw Lynn come back with so many black crystals, he must have fought bravely on the front line, even if he wanted to find fault, Donald was not afraid of Caesar? Holy, even if he was the first heir of the Holy Family.
However, if Caesar's divine inquiry had been commissioned by the Holy See's hierarchy or even by Pope Calvin himself, it would have been of a very different nature. As the patriarch of the Hall family, Donald knows very well how much the Hall family, as the logistics supply family of the Holy See's previous expeditions, has benefited from it, and how many people envy this logistics position.
Although the Hall family is very low-key, on the surface, it seems that the force is not very good, and the financial resources are average, and they are in the middle and lower positions among many Divine Chosen families, but this qiē is just a disguise. As the largest ruling force on the Europa continent, the Holy See is the largest in the continent in terms of wealth, and all the expeditions and wars were launched because of the needs of the gods, so the Holy See is very willing to spend money on logistics.
And when getting a large amount of money from the Holy See to purchase various logistics needs, the Hall family can increase the price of various materials by a few points while ensuring the quality of logistics materials, and the gold coins earned are enough to be astronomical and terrifying wealth, so to speak, in the previous expeditions launched by the Holy See, the biggest winner is not the heroic fighting family, but the Hall family in charge of logistics.
Don't think that a few points are the price, a few points is a huge number after multiplying billions or tens of billions of gold coins, and it is precisely because of the caution of the Hall family that they are not too greedy, just the difference in the price of a few points, and there is no quality problem with the logistics materials, so those big people don't care, so in the previous expeditions and wars for millions of years, the Hall family has accumulated a batch of terrifying wealth.
Even Donald was shocked when he first learned about this wealth, because the number of them was too much, so to speak, if Europa was about wealth, the richest force was not the Holy See, but the Hall family, a small and inconspicuous Chosen Family.
It is not difficult to understand that the Holy See has a great cause, although the wealth collected from the various Chosen Families and secular countries every year is extremely large, but at the same time, the Holy See also has a large number of priests and armies to support, and the cost is also very huge, and its annual surplus wealth is not very large. The Hall family is different, using every expeditionary war, accumulating a small amount of money, only entering but not leaving, and sometimes receiving a large number of rewards from the Holy See because of good logistics, and its wealth has finally swelled to a terrifying point after accumulating for more than ten generations.
What should we do after we have enough wealth? Naturally, it is to expand the power of the family, or to use force, and the Hall family, which has huge wealth, is terrified because of the huge wealth, because they are like a child holding a gold nugget, and they may lose this huge wealth at any time, so from several generations ago, the Hall family has been secretly expanding the family's force.
Using a huge amount of wealth, accumulating and looting huge cultivation resources and various genius treasures, the Hall family looked for children with good qualifications to cultivate, and after several generations, the high-end force of the Hall family was already very strong, and its master-level elders above the Holy Realm were even comparable to the weakest Frost Saint Clan among the twelve holy clans.
In terms of conventional force, the Hall family has also carried out crazy expansion, but they are taking the route of elite soldiers, and each family warrior is equipped with the best preparations, and the cultivation resources obtained are also the best, so like the army of the Twelve Holy Clans whose basic strength has reached the fourth-order Golden Knight, the elite warriors of the Hall family in this area are more than 100 million, and as for the ordinary army, that is, the army on the bright side, it is only 40 million.
Although the Hall family, which has such force and financial resources, is extremely cautious, it still can't avoid the leakage of rumors, so this time Caesar Divine investigates Lynn's affairs, Donald thinks that there is a greater element to deal with the Hall family. And the family that has always been targeted by the Holy See, there is no good end, the entire family will be cleansed, from top to bottom, from the head of the family to a dog of the family, will be killed, completely destroyed physically, there is no price to talk about, so Donald is also very frightened in his heart.
"Huh?" Even in deep thought, Donald still has a keen perception of the outside world, he felt that there was a powerful force in the sky that locked on him, and he couldn't help but emit his spiritual power, and then, Donald smiled, because he knew the owner of this powerful force, this person was his son!
Donald immediately flew up, and in mid-air, Donald received Lynn's request to go to a remote place to negotiate, so Donald came to a corner on the edge of the warehouse in Wittham Harbor, and Lynn followed closely and slowly landed in front of Donald.
Before Lynn could speak, Donald stepped forward excitedly and hugged him, patted Lynn's back hard, and said excitedly: "I knew, I knew!! you kid would definitely not die so easily! My Donald's son is really the most powerful! Tell me quickly, is the expeditionary army really wiped out?" (To be continued......
