Chapter 1773 - 53: Plague Relics (9)
Has the Lan Family really fallen?
Regarding this matter, all the disciples of the Lan Family are vehemently unwilling to believe it, but the tragic scenes inside the production base force them to think about the worst outcome.
The entire base is stained red with blood, and the personnel of the collection forces are mere ordinary people. Even though equipped with Dark Spiritual Artifacts for defense, facing the Rothschild family’s powerful figures, those feeble Dark Spiritual Artifacts are useless. Many people couldn’t even react to what happened before they were beheaded.
Like Onorato, who’s considered somewhat lucky, successfully hid in the resting room and escaped a disaster, while more people died under unknown AOE attacks, becoming collateral damage of the battles between the strong, true cannon fodder.
As for the Lan Family’s clan descendants, they are all figures above the Control Level, and they are the main combat force in resisting the invasion this time. Yet, their casualties are equally tragic, with less than thirty percent remaining after a skirmish with the Rothschild family, and the survivors are gravely wounded, nearly devoid of fighting power.
This battle has nearly exhausted Lan Family’s elite power; calling it a severe bone injury would be an understatement.
In the sky, Lan Gu is surrounded by dozens of people.
All surround him are Rothschild family’s elites, uniformly Upper Control Level, among them four are Peak Control Level, just a step away from entering the Extraordinary Realm.
"Lan Gu, stop your futile resistance! Although your Stellar Treasure Mirror has strong defensive power, defeat is inevitable under our siege. In this relic, do you even hope your Ancestor outside can come to rescue you? Hahaha! If you surrender now, I might consider sparing your life; if you resist stubbornly, all the disciples of the Lan Family here will be buried with you!"
Among the crowd surrounding Lan Gu, a handsome red-haired and red-eyed man laughs defiantly. This person is the Rothschild clan leader who spoke to Zhang Xiaoman earlier at the relic entrance, Alman Rothschild.
Within this encirclement is a massive Star Sky Ancient Mirror, with a white Shield extended above it. In the center of the Shield, Lan Gu’s figure stands resolutely, struggling to maintain the Shield, preventing the Rothschild family members from breaking through easily.
At this moment, upon hearing Alman’s words, Lan Gu does not respond. He merely bites his teeth and supports himself, constantly calculating escape strategies in his mind.
He does not believe a single word of Alman’s.
It’s a joke; both families have been mortal enemies, each wishing to kill the other. With what has transpired in the Plague Relics, how could the Rothschild family leave any survivors? None in the Lan Family present, including those in the collection forces, has a chance of escaping.
The current situation is extremely unfavorable to the Lan Family; the Rothschild family orchestrated a premeditated attack, catching the Lan Family off guard with a surprise assault. Two Peak Level elders were besieged by multiple attackers, slain on the spot without a chance to retaliate.
Lan Gu suffered similarly; Alman led two underlings and descended upon him, delivering a silence and combo package. Without the life-saving Divine Artifact automatically protecting Lan Gu from the fatal blow, he would have ended like those elders.
Even so, Lan Gu sustained severe injuries. Facing such an overwhelming defeat, however angry he is, he is powerless to turn the tide.
Lan Gu now faces the assault of over ten experts from the Rothschild family; turning defeat into victory is utterly unrealistic. He only hopes to find an opportunity to escape, to reckon with the Rothschild family after returning.
Luckily, the Star Sky Ancient Mirror is the Lan family’s Treasure, his strongest Armor cultivated over his lifetime. Even facing simultaneous attacks from ten Upper Control Level and four or five Peak Control Level figures, it remains sturdy, buying Lan Gu time, holding the attackers outside, rendering the situation a stalemate for the time being.
However, Lan Gu understands that as time drags on, the situation will become increasingly unfavorable. The opponents can attack in shifts, while he is alone; persisting indefinitely is impossible.
Looking at the deceased and injured Lan Family disciples below, Lan Gu is full of frustration. His gaze at the adversary conveys cold hatred, making one sure of the fierce vengeance he will unleash upon escaping.
"Rothschild... today’s events shall be repaid a hundredfold in the future!"
"Hahaha! Lan Gu, at this point, stop being stubborn! Do you think you’ll have a future? Hahaha!"
Their dialogue echoes, chilling the hearts of Onorato and others hiding in the resting room below.
They are not foolish, understanding the significance of the battle here. It can be said that within the Plague Relics is another battleground to resolve the feuds among the Lords.
