Ember Skywalker

Chapter 160: Because of this child, I will destroy your entire clan!

"Father left this matter to me."

"Oh? Then what are you going to do?" Onivia narrowed her eyes and looked at Adam dangerously.

Adam immediately raised his hands and smiled bitterly:
"How dare I make a decision for you in this matter? In fact, this is my father testing me."

"Test you?"

"Yes, father wants to see how I handle it. After all, I am the future heir of the family."

"Old Montello's offer is very attractive: 200,000 gold coins of supplies, 3,000 elite cavalry,
Oh, there are also ten demon-restoring warriors in it. This is a huge amount of money, probably most of his family fortune.

As long as you send your sister out and you stay at the rear, you will have the people and money.

Just pretend you didn’t see the threat in the letter.”

Onivia stretched lazily.

"Hmph! Who do you think your brother is!" Adam slammed the table.

Onivia shrugged and said in a relaxed tone:
"We are in a difficult situation right now, and our family may fall at any time.

Old Montello just sent a large sum of aid, why don't you accept it?

Isn't this kind of marriage in exchange for benefits very common among nobles?"

"Enough! Oni!" Adam said angrily.

“I tell you, old Montello did one thing wrong.

If he had made this request before the Alliance invaded, my father and I might have considered it.

After all, the Montello family is also a wealthy family, and his heir Sack is well-known and a good match for you.

But he shouldn’t be threatening us at this time.”

“It seems that if I agree, I will get a lot of help, but what does the Lennon family need in times of crisis?
It's determination!
It's faith!
It is to move forward courageously and to die without hesitation!
As the heir of the Lennon family, I hope to get help, but I will never lose my blood for it!
Once I obey them, I will no longer be worthy of being the heir!

I think this is what my father wants to see!

"Yes. Three thousand cavalry is a force that cannot be underestimated. Adding those supplies, it is indeed exciting.

But if I agree to this, my father will definitely ask my sister to come back with a whip and beat me severely!
A man from the Lennon family can give up anything except courage! "

Adam roared, panting, and pointed at Onivia fiercely.

"How can a girl like you know what blood is? I, Adam, will never live by selling women!"

"You finally look a bit like your father."

Onivia smiled brightly.

"I'll spare you. However, you don't have to veto this marriage. Just send someone to spread the word that when Sack can defeat me, I will consider marrying him.

As for those conditions, they can fulfill them if they want to, and we don’t mind if they don’t.”

"Sister, what do you mean?"

Adam said anxiously.

"From what I know, Sack's strength is close to the Heavenly Rank. If you lose, won't you have to marry him?"

Onivia smiled proudly:
“He can’t defeat me now!
Montello treated me like this, so I made them bleed.

Now that I had spoken, old Montello naturally felt embarrassed to withdraw the aid he had promised.
I believe that what I deserve will not be less, and this is also the benefit I have fought for my father."

"It's up to you. The men in the Lennon family are not easy to mess with. In fact, the women are even harder to mess with." Adam smiled bitterly.

In the frozen land to the north of Dante, Crassus sat quietly on a high chair, watching the ceremony below, wondering what he was thinking.

More than thirty wooden stakes were erected in the center of the hall, with frozen earth warriors tied to them.

They had fallen into a coma and two wizards were casting spells on them.

These warriors came from other tribes and were captured because they rebelled against Crassus.

Under the wizard's spell, their hearts beat violently like war drums, bulging their chests high.

Gradually, the frozen earth warrior showed a painful expression, and blood flowed from his eyes and ears.

"Great Thunder God, please accept the sacrifice of your humble servant!"

A wizard yelled.

Along with the roar, the chests of the frozen earth warriors all exploded, and their bloody hearts flew into the air and gathered together.

Crassus waved the wizard's staff in his hand, and a space door appeared above the heart, slowly sucking them in.

Soon, a majestic and grand voice came from the space gate: "Humble people, in view of your sincerity, I will grant you a trace of thunder and lightning power."

Purple lightning poured out from the space gate, fell on the crawling wizards, jumped on their bodies, and then disappeared.

"Thank God for the gift." Crassus stood up and half-knelt in salute to the gate of space.

After the space gate disappeared, Crassus looked at the wizard below and said coldly:
"God has given you the power of thunder and lightning. Please follow me to conquer the land in the south, for the sake of the tribe and for survival!"

"To survive!" the wizards roared.

"It's also for you..." Crassus murmured in his heart.

This is a small northern town, which is now burning in flames, with corpses scattered all over the ground, both cavalry and civilians.

They died in miserable ways, and some were even eaten.

Snow-white ice wolves patrolled with frozen earth warriors on their backs, and would bite anyone who was still alive.

"Wow! Wow!"

On a snowy ground, a baby only a few months old was crying loudly.

He was wrapped only in a single piece of cloth and was held in the arms of a woman.

However, the woman had been dead for a long time, and there was a big hole in her chest. The blood that flowed out turned into ice, freezing the baby's legs to the snow.

The baby's whole body turned purple and he kept crying, obviously in great pain.

Several direwolves surrounded the baby, baring their teeth, ready to pounce at any time.

"Master Wizard, what should we do with this baby?" asked a frost warrior leader.

It was he who killed the woman on earth.

Originally, the child also wanted to feed the wolf, but for some reason, he hesitated. At this time, a wizard happened to pass by.

The wizard who was asked came to the child and picked him up.

As the baby's legs were still frozen to the snow, the tearing immediately tore off a large piece of flesh from his legs.

The baby's crying suddenly became louder.

"Hey, cry, you're going to die anyway.

I will not let you grow up and kill my children again."

The wizard pinched the baby's neck and gradually exerted force on his hands.

The child opened his little mouth, his eyes widened, and his hands and feet flapped helplessly.

"Wait a minute."

Crassus appeared at some point, with Nia by his side.

"Send him back to the other side tomorrow."

"But, Master Shenwu, we can't leave any trouble behind."

"Future troubles? Since I want to conquer the men in that land, I'm not afraid of him growing up." Crassus sneered.

Just now he and Nia passed by and saw the wizard trying to strangle the child. For some reason, he felt a little bit of pity in his heart.

"As you command."

This is a vast frozen plain with heavy snow falling all over the sky.

In the wind and snow, tens of thousands of frozen earth warriors and Dante cavalry confronted each other.

Dante's side deployed many cavalry formations. The men and horses were eerily quiet, while the frozen earth warriors were much more disorganized, but full of murderous intent.

A frozen earth wizard slowly walked out of the formation and came to the center of the battlefield. He was holding a baby in his arms, who was kicking and crying.

A snow-white warhorse galloped out from Dante's formation, leaving a trail of snow and coming in front of the wizard.

The cavalryman looked at the other party coldly, suddenly jumped off the horse, carefully took the baby, and wrapped him with a corner of his cloak.

The baby suddenly stopped crying and looked at the cavalry with wide eyes.

The cavalryman smiled and wrapped his arm more carefully. The white horse slowly returned to the formation.

"Sir, the child is still alive." The cavalry handed the baby to the Duke of Shelley.

Looking at the child's black eyes and fluttering feet, Shelley smiled, looked towards Crassus from afar, and said domineeringly:

"Because of this child, I decided not to exterminate your entire clan!"
