Chapter 1830: Chapter 554: Giving Gifts, Burying Lines, Return of the Ninth Tier_4
As the clan leader, Elsa had to consider more long-term matters.
Without the upheaval of today, they would continue to safeguard the Knight’s contract and promise, remaining loyal to the Orlan Royal Court until the very end.
Even if it ant leading the family towards destruction.
But now, Elsa hesitated.
Another King of Augustus had appeared.
If that person had just left without revealing their identity, she wouldn’t be so hesitant.
Whether loyal to King Orlan or the rightful King of Augustus, the Herlands Family adhered to the ancient contract.
And they wouldn’t feel any psychological burden.
But now, Leonard Churchill had given them a gift the family couldn’t refuse.
….
While pondering, Elsa heard a requesting question in her ear: “Grandma?”
Tightly knit brows looked, and saw her own grandson staring at her with longing eyes.
Elsa, of course, saw the fervor in his eyes for the scepter and suddenly felt enlightened.
They, these old bones, were ultimately ant to be cast aside.
The younger generation was the family’s hope.
Thinking of this, she smiled and nodded, saying to Ray: “Since it is this gentleman’s kind offer, accept it.”
Ray’s eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this, “Yes.”
With permission, it seed the scepter finally belonged to him.
The young man, disregarding his frail body, could hardly contain the surge of joy in his heart, but upon hearing a gentle cough, he suddenly ca to his senses.
He looked at Leonard Churchill and said, “Thank you, Your Majesty!”
No arrogance, no hostility, only respect and gratitude.
He realized that these people in front of him harbored no ill intentions toward their family.
“….”
Leonard Churchill returned a smile.
The gift was given, and the goal was more than half achieved.
In his eyes, he saw a vividly illustrated line of destiny.
The Herlands Family’s destiny faced a crossroads, and today was the crucial turning point.
So words couldn’t be openly declared, but the truth remained.
The situation in the East Wilderness differed from the Rebel Dragon Army; after all, the Orlan Royal Court’s lineage never broke.
Arthur’s maternal family had a network of intermarriages, intertwined with many large families by blood, highlighted by his ascendancy to the throne.
Leonard Churchill didn’t believe that Camilla, with no foundation in the Orlan Royal Court, could, by bloodline alone, make the old ministers and families submit.
It required so persecution, so hardship, for loyalty to beco more reliable.
The Four Royal Knight Families had grown very large by now and naturally had various factions, with no shortage of loyalists to Arthur.
This ti, losing the Titan Battle Armor and equipnt ant the Herlands Family would inevitably be implicated upon return, which was a trial by fire.
This, Leonard Churchill understood.
So did Clan Leader Elsa.
She hadn’t decided at the crossroads, and many in the family hadn’t either.
But after returning this ti, so would push them to make a decision.
People at their level saw things far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
….
Although Leonard Churchill gave an artifact, it was actually a move in a long-term strategic ga.
He had enough ti to plan future strategies.
If he made the right move, the rewards would far surpass that of a single artifact.
This could influence the entire situation in the East Wilderness.
If it wasn’t the right move, then when it beca an enemy, killing and retrieving the item would be an option.
Leonard Churchill watched the gradually departing mbers of the Herlands Family, his gaze deepening.
He didn’t know from when he started to resemble that Mushroomhead, enjoying these strategic maneuvers.
Perhaps it was the influence of the [Unrivaled National Hero] Profession Card, an Eighth Rank integration?
But Leonard Churchill felt as if he had co to enjoy this feeling.
It was a sense of planting seeds and anticipating their eventual bloom.
Camilla quietly observed Leonard Churchill’s actions.
She guessed Leonard Churchill’s deeper intentions, needing no further explanation, casting an appreciative glance.
The Herlands Family left behind equipnt and the Titan ch.
Leonard Churchill and the others didn’t remain idle, collecting what they could, and letting Ivan swallow what they couldn’t.
However, before they finished sorting, a terrifying aura suddenly swept in.
Lenny suddenly realized, shouting: “Be careful!”
He recognized the aura of the top expert they had encountered before.
But before he finished speaking, a terrifying dragon breath appeared in the sky.
Leonard Churchill raised his hand, and the Joker Card’s gleam flashed, completely banishing the terrifying dragon breath to the Void.
Camilla and Tracy Garcia instantly entered a combat state.
All four’s gazes locked onto the robust middle-aged man who teleported through the Void.
The newcor was none other than Andre, the Ninth Tier powerhouse they’d encountered before.
