"My lord, how come you're out here? Are you hurt?" The guard at the door was taken aback when he saw Lord Rice running in from outside, but when he saw the wounds on Rice's body, he immediately became tense.
This was the only son of the family head, the future head of the family, and now he was injured.
"I want to see father, I'm hurt! Damn it! Someone attacked me!" Rice returned to the house and finally let out a sigh of relief, shouting angrily.
"Yes, yes! Stay by the door, don't let anyone in, Lord Rice, please follow me!" The guard immediately realized that something was wrong. In the elf king's capital, who didn't know the young lord of the Flame family, and who dared to attack the young lord of the Flame family, unless it was aimed at the Flame family itself.
"Father, they're here! It's them, they attacked me!" Rice rushed into Andrew Flame's room and shouted loudly.
"Rice, how did I teach you to be calm in the face of danger? Hmph, you're hurt, who did it?" Andrew was about to lose his temper, but suddenly saw that Rice was injured, and angrily asked.
"Father, it was the prince, his men, he's come for revenge!" Rice could hold back his fear outside, but now that he felt safe, he became violent.
"Did you sneak out?" Andrew scowled at Rice and asked. Lis's legs gave way and she trembled as she told the whole story.
"I never thought it would come so soon. Ordering the family's warriors to act, damn Moonrise family, not helping me, don't they know I did this for the honor of the elves!" Andrew was shocked, never expecting the revenge to actually come, so fast! But the Flame family is not to be messed with.
As Andrew's orders were given, a team of elite warriors slipped out of the Flame family and entered the lower levels of Luna City.
"They're moving, proceed according to plan!" The Flame family was surrounded by miniature surveillance devices, and as the Flame family's warriors moved out, the special operations team cheered, and a hunter-and-prey game was underway.
The Moonrise family, the current leader of the Moonrise family, Taylor Moonrise, and his wife, Scythe Starforge, sat on either side of the table, watching the intelligence report with cold eyes.
"Scythe, what do you think about this? The Flame family suddenly sent out a large number of warriors and invited other families to join in," Taylor Moonrise picked up the intelligence report and ultimately chose to compromise. He turned to his wife and asked in confusion.
"You still don't understand. The Star Nations people have arrived! This time, the Flame family is finished!" Scythe Starforge smiled, seemingly satisfied with the result.
"The Flame family is finished! Impossible!" Although the Flame House is not the top family, it can also be considered a first-class family! Even if Tianxing Country is strong, it is impossible to uproot the Flame Family root and branch. Don't forget that we are in Luna City! Taylor frowned and looked incredulous.
"You just wait and see about that! You didn't get my permission and married Nicole to that waste of space. Hmph!" Sisi snorted and coldly looked at Taylor.
One day, Taylor took Nicole to the Flame Family when she was still a child. At that time, the Flame Family proposed a marriage alliance and wanted to marry Nicole to Lis. Taylor thought that the two families were of equal status, so he agreed. However, his wife strongly opposed the matter and took Nicole back to her parents' home.
"This matter...," Taylor was coldly looked at by his wife and couldn't find a single word to refute. He accidentally promised his daughter to the Flame Family's son, and later it was proved that Lis was a super waste of space.
"Hmph, let's forget about this matter. How about the Tianxing Kingdom prince? Does he deserve to marry my Nicole?" Sisi snorted and changed her expression, smiling.
"What's the matter with that prince of the Tianxing Kingdom? Why are the royal family so strange lately?" Taylor frowned, the Moonrise family simply couldn't compare to the Starforge family, and these top-level intelligence sources were still out of reach for the Moonrise family.
"You don't need to worry about this. It's none of your business! Everything will be a fresh start once this is over!" Saki smiled seductively, and things were getting more and more interesting.
In the underground of Luna City, killing and bloodshed continued. The elite warriors of the Flamefire family were engaged in daily battles with the special operations teams sent by Edgar. Both sides hunted each other in the dark, damp, and complex spaces of the underground.
Both sides also had their share of victories and losses. Edgar's team had already lost over 50 people, while the Flamefire warriors had lost over 100. However, taken as a whole, the special operations team had a decisive advantage. The special operations team made up for their geographic disadvantage with superior equipment.
The special operations team used assault rifles to fire specially designed dum-dum bullets. Anyone bitten by one of these bullets would either die or be seriously injured. The elven magic armor was powerful, but it was clear that the warriors of the Flamefire family were not wearing top-of-the-line magic armor.
The global positioning system allowed team members to know the location of their allies at any time, while the miniature radio allowed each team to stay in touch. Combining the two devices allowed the special operations team to stay in touch at all times, or to encircle and attack, or to provide support. The multi-functional night vision goggles allow soldiers to have a good view in various environments. The underground realm of the fairies receives very little direct sunlight, making it dark and gloomy.
The equipment of the fairies is much inferior, although their magical armor appears to be excellent to outsiders, and although they wield weapons crafted by dwarves, it is still an unfair war.
"After two nights and one day, we have lost two-thirds of our men. What is this prince's real identity? And now the queen is no longer receiving me. What is going on? Immediately send all personnel back to defend!" Upon receiving the latest intelligence, Andrew realized that he had stepped on a hot plate and quickly changed his strategy, aiming not for success but for no mistakes.
The fifteenth night, with a full moon in the sky, would have been a beautiful night, but it was destined to be a night of killing.
At exactly midnight, three huge beams of light descended from the sky, and the dazzling red light instantly penetrated the domed roof where the Fire family lived. Laser weapons concentrated all their energy on one point, although the damage area was small, the penetrating power was quite astonishing, even though the Fire family had already activated their magic shield, it only slightly delayed the impact.
Following the three beams of light, a car-sized bomb fell rapidly, crashing into the Fire family through the laser-penetrated hole. Andrew realized something was wrong when the first wave of attacks came. At level 9 peak, Andrew had special qi force outward, forming a shield to protect himself tightly. Then he crushed a level 9 protective scroll, jumped with his legs, and flew outward.
Andrew had just finished all this when a huge explosion occurred. First, a flash of light passed, then a huge shock wave immediately caught up with Andrew's shield, causing a violent collision that made Andrew spit out a mouthful of blood.
Luna City, the violent explosion made the area within three kilometers of the Leifu Family shake. Countless elves rushed to the roofs and looked around, but no one knew who had used such powerful magic.
The Mother of Bombs had been scientifically calculated, and its power was well controlled. Although it completely destroyed the shell where the Leifu Family was located, it had little effect on the surroundings. The families around it knew what had happened to the Leifu Family, but no one dared to step out. No one wanted to die in a mysterious way, with strange people guarding their doorstep. Besides, the reputation of the Leifu Family was bad.
One minute after the explosion, hundreds of special warfare troops controlled the Leifu Family. They wore gas masks and protective suits and entered the explosion site. These soldiers in silver protective suits held various weapons and searched slowly. No matter whether they see the dead or the living, they will first shoot them.
"Who are you?" Andrew, covered in burns, looked at the silver-colored strange men and shouted. The violent explosion consumed a lot of Andrew's inner energy, the intense heat caused his skin to be completely burned. Now Andrew was seriously injured, but he still had a breath.
"Andrew Fire?" The soldiers wouldn't waste any words, and asked directly.
"You are the people of Tianxing Country, how cruel!" Andrew also realized that, with such strength, it was definitely not any family he had offended. The family he had offended with the most power was the most mysterious Tianxing Country.
"Target confirmed, immediate execution! Take the head!" The squad leader confirmed the identity and no longer wasted any words, and immediately shot him dead and cut off his head, which was a great achievement.
"Third Squad has completed the harvest! Accelerate, withdraw in five minutes!" Since the main culprit had been killed, the next action was secondary, and considering the time, the city defense army of the elves was about to arrive, it was time to wrap things up.
"Understood, everyone prepare for withdrawal!" Since the operation had been completed, there was no point in staying here anymore. Each squad followed the predetermined retreat route, slowly withdrawing to the lower levels, and then moving towards the Star River. There, the submarine was already prepared. "I saw it, I told you so! The Fireblood family is finished!" Hearing the explosion, Scylla Starforge grabbed her husband's hand and led him to the rooftop, looking at the distant Fireblood family engulfed in flames and softly said.
"How did they do it? This is the capital! This must be a small banishing spell at least! But why no magical energy?" Taylor Moonrise looked at the huge fire that had almost turned half the sky red, frowning and puzzled.
"After all, they are the prince of a country. Of course, they have their own power. I really want to see what our son-in-law looks like!" Scylla Starforge looked at the sky filled with flames, becoming more and more fond of her daughter's husband whom she had never met.
"This time, you make the final decision!" Taylor Moonrise frowned. The last time their daughter's affair made them argue for a long time. So this time, he would completely trust his wife. Marrying a strong-willed wife was not a good thing.
"Humph, this time I'll listen to you again, I don't know what you'll do to push our daughter into another fire pit!" Scylla Starforge glared at him. She had only one precious daughter. She didn't compete for the family inheritance, but she would never let her daughter fall into the fire pit.
"Burn, it's interesting. My little treasure should exercise a bit!" In the lower part of Luna City, an elf girl who looked to be only six or seven years old, looked up at the raging fires on the upper level and smiled. She then ran up to the top of an uninhabited tree and chanted a series of incantations.
As the elf girl chanted, clouds of black smoke began to gather, eventually enveloping her completely and forming a huge black egg.
At the same time, six huge black maggots burst out of the ancient elf tree in Luna City and crawled menacingly towards the elf palace. Along the way, the six maggots worked together to destroy everything in their path.
These six maggots were clearly a higher level than the ones Edgar had seen before, covered in armor and able to open their mouths 360 degrees. The huge teeth in their mouths resembled daggers. The maggots could also spit out black liquid, which had extremely corrosive properties and would cause the person to rot if it touched them.
"Who is it? Who is attacking the Fire Family? Hmm, maggot odor!" An elderly woman with a full head of silver hair opened her eyes in an instant when the explosion occurred inside the elf palace.
"The maggot invasion has come sooner than expected!" The old woman frowned and stopped the thought of going to the Fire Family to check on things. She grasped her sword and flew towards the location of the maggots.
The six maggots saw the enemy approaching and spat out black liquid. The elder elf seemed to know the terror of the black liquid and quickly dodged out of the way, slicing off the head of a maggot with his sword. The remaining maggots, seeing their comrade dead, became even more ferocious, with red eyes flashing, attacking the old elf.
"Worms! Eclipse!" The elder elf laughed contemptuously as the remaining five attacked, and crescent moons flew out of his sword, instantly chopping off the heads of the five maggots.
"I never thought there was a Saint-level peak!" Luna City's lower levels, the girl gnome spat a mouthful of blood, and the mist around her instantly dissipated. Muttering something, she fainted and fell towards the ground.
"What's that?" A retreating member felt a small figure falling from the sky and reached out to catch it.
"Captain, this gnome girl fell from the sky. What should we do with her?" The member looked at the little girl and frowned in confusion. How could there be a gnome girl falling from the sky?
"Take her with us. We don't have time to dawdle. If this little girl ends up in the lower levels, she won't be able to survive. Take her back and have the boss deal with her," the captain said softly, stopping the girl's bleeding and giving her instructions slowly.
