My Descendants Are My Power

Then...

He returned to the great hall, activating the magical array as he took refuge in Duke\'s Mansion, daring not to move. After all, he was the Duke, and he maintained his composure. "I am the Duke, backed by the empire. As long as I\'m in Duke\'s Mansion, under everyone\'s watchful eyes, what can you do to me?"

Above Duke\'s Mansion.

Figures appeared among the clouds!

George stood reluctantly at the center above Duke\'s Mansion, with twenty-three Sages behind him. The extra elder had been sent out to help his clan members enhance their psychic powers, and he hadn\'t asked for him back yet.

Seeing George\'s expression, Ethan could guess why the young man was reluctant.

[Your descendant George unearthed a fragment of a high priest\'s soul from the Druid High Priest\'s tomb. Just as he was about to capture it, he received a family order to abandon the soul and bring the elders who once represented the peak of Cloudview County to stop Michael from escaping!]

As soon as these elders appeared, Michael didn\'t hesitate to flee back to Duke\'s Mansion.

No wonder...

[Your descendant George, after thirty years of cultivating psychic powers, has reached the peak of Developing Skill and is a Pinnacle Apprentice. Over thirty years, the Blackwood clan has found rare treasures for these elders to solidify their spirits, granting George even greater power!]

"Hmph, he sure knows how to run fast."

"George, be ready to lend us your body at any moment. I am the eighth master of Azure Cloud Pavilion, and I\'ve spent my life guarding Cloudview County. Cloudview County was almost destroyed by him; I\'ll risk my life to end him!"

"And me! Forget it, George, just dive down there and storm through his Duke\'s Mansion."

"..."

George scratched his head, "Elders, please, this mission was arranged by my second uncle."

He remembered his second uncle Daniel\'s smile, which made him shudder. If it were his great-aunt\'s command, he might dare to resist a bit; she might just be scaring him for fun by saying she\'d refine his elders. But his second uncle... when he was the head of the family, he always did as he said, and now that he\'s back from Thunderfire Demon Cave, he\'s even more formidable.

...

Michael sat within his family\'s estate, but his calm lasted only a moment.

All the skilled warriors in Duke\'s Mansion suddenly looked up.

They could feel the unrest of the day, as all the skilled warriors in Cloudview County watched Duke\'s Mansion closely!

Meanwhile, outside Duke\'s Mansion, the Druids brought by Blackwood were now bound at the mansion.

As these Druid chiefs began to speak, Michael\'s face turned sour.

Their voices were so loud in the city of Cloudview County!

"I am Chief Harris, and I can testify that Duke Michael has been collaborating with us Harris for three hundred years."

"I am Chief White, and I have also collaborated with Michael."

"I represent the Eagle Tribe!"

"..."

Six chiefs, with their tribespeople bound outside Duke\'s Mansion, made such shocking statements.

The people of Cloudview County listened intently, piecing together a terrifying message. Three hundred years ago, Duke Michael had already been collaborating with the Druids. This man wasn\'t even from Martin; he was a spy sent by the Druids to Cloudview County, and Michael\'s father was a slave to the Druids...

"Damn it, damn it!"

There was nothing left intact in the great hall; Michael was like a madman, those Druids were spreading nothing but lies!

But he couldn\'t understand why these resolute Druids would obey Blackwood\'s orders and slander him in public. Public opinion is fearsome, especially the words of these Druids.

Inside Martin, the voices of several skilled elder warriors reached his ears. These skilled warriors didn\'t believe the rumors either, but they demanded that he immediately announce his abdication!

"How could these Druids... why would they help Blackwood?"

"They were captured, clearly doomed to die; under such circumstances, they should have fought back."

The Duke, who had schemed his whole life, even against his own family, suddenly became despondent.

With the loss of his position as head of the family, all his visions and dreams were about to burst like bubbles.

At that moment, Ethan looked out over the scene unfolding outside Duke\'s Mansion. The citizens of Cloudview County had gathered, their initial shock turning into anger. Their homes had been ravaged by the Druid invasion, their loved ones lost.

Now, they finally understood—it was Michael, the lofty Duke, who was harming them!

Their praises had turned into curses.

"True to his reputation as the Heroic Tyrant who led both demonic and righteous warriors in the Thunderfire Demon Cave, he really plays dirty."

Watching everything unfold on the screen, Ethan let out a sigh of admiration and switched the view.

It was...

[Endless Forest]

In a tribal setting, a towering figure covered in demonic tattoos sat at a table. Before him were the elite of an entire Druid tribe, including a high priest. These old adversaries of Blackwood, who had once fought valiantly on the battlefield and were tough opponents, were now forcing smiles in front of a member of the Blackwood clan.

"No more wine, pour me some."

Thomas reached out with a bowl made from a skull, and as a Druid woman poured him wine, he glanced at the many stern-faced elites and grinned, "Don\'t look so sour. You have plenty of chiefs; lending me one isn\'t a big deal.

"I once saw one of your rituals where you casually sacrificed a chief. Chiefs aren\'t that valuable here, are they?"

"Here, let me show you a trick."

Seeing Thomas remove his head to show them and then cheekily place it back on his neck, the Druids still wore grim expressions.

No wonder they were upset.

[Your descendant Daniel sent six members of the third generation of Blackwoods, all at the mid-level of Developing Skill, under the title Lord of Frenzied Blood. They went to six different Druid tribes, died several times, and after being resurrected, they returned to harass the Druids, much to their annoyance.]

[Eventually, both parties reached an agreement. The Druids agreed to spread rumors about Michael in exchange for the third generation of Blackwoods not harassing their tribes outside of wartime.]

[Your descendant\'s third generation of Blackwoods earned the notorious nickname \'Undying Pests\' among the Druids.]
