Chapter 369: Encirclement and Suppression of Fisher (I)

Nowadays, not only does Nasir City have a large barrier, the Fisher family has also used huge financial and material resources to create an extremely large small-scale national barrier on the entire east coast.

It can be said that in the past ten years, half of the wealth plundered by the Fisher family was used to build a national defense barrier covering the entire East Coast Province.

Although it is quite expensive, Byrne has always felt that it is necessary. In this way, all the extraordinary people at the monarch level, or large-scale armies acting collectively, will be discovered by them as long as they enter the East Coast Province.

As a result, the East Coast Province has become a "country within a country".

However, even if there is such a barrier, there are exceptions to everything. Even to this day, Byrne has not figured out how the Black Falcon, one of Turns' "Winter Cornerstones", came to Nasir City silently.

However, that person is the mastermind behind the Principality of Tuens and has ambitions to dominate the world, so it is not surprising that he has such ability.

"Darren, where have you been?"

In a conference room at the Nasir City Hall, Byrne was discussing the current situation with some officials when he suddenly saw his son Darren.

He came in with an old man.

"Father, I got some information some time ago that someone who might be important to you has been found, so I went and brought him back myself." Darren had a smile on his face.

Byrne frowned slightly and looked at the trembling, staggering old man.

His face was carved with deep grooves by time, his silver hair was sparsely scattered on his forehead, and his eyes no longer flashed with the sharpness and light of his youth. Instead, there was a gentle and slightly confused light, occasionally interspersed with some imperceptible tension and fear.

"Who is he..."

Byrne stared at the old man and suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, but he was not quite sure.

"Robert Taylor, father." Darren replied with a smile.

He said coldly, "They deceived our family decades ago. Later, the Taylor family moved to the capital of Siat. In recent years, they have been very afraid of us and kept hiding. Unfortunately, the Black Tide still found them."

Byrne was stunned.

Is he Robert?

It turned out to be his former "good brother" Robert, the man who deceived him and stole fifteen gold coins when the Fisher family was weak.

He stared at the old man and found that there was no hatred in his heart.

Even though the memory was still vivid, Byrne was now completely unable to empathize with himself at that moment.

Robert's eyes were very confused, as if Alzheimer's disease had quietly invaded him as he grew older.

"Who are you? I, I can't remember you. I'm sorry, sir, my memory is not good. Why did you bring me here?"

“…”

Byrne fell into deep silence. Although the other party had completely forgotten him, he had a "deep memory" and still remembered who Robert Taylor was.

“The dumbest thing a person can do is ask, ‘You clearly promised me.’”

He paused, continued to stare at the old man and said: "Your words have a great impact on me, and I still remember them until now."

Although he no longer hated Robert, when Byrne thought back to the past few decades, his heart was still filled with unresolved knots and pain that was difficult to let go.

Memories of failure, loss, and self-doubt have always been like heavy chains, restraining his progress.

Whenever it was late at night or when facing a challenge, these past memories would come flooding back like a tide, making Byrne feel suffocated and helpless.

"Robert..."

Byrne reached out and gently patted the old man's shoulder. The latter trembled, and an unconcealable fear flashed in his confused eyes.

“…”

Byrne noticed this and realized that the old man was not really demented, but was pretending.

Robert, you are really cunning.

Do I want to kill him myself?

He fell into deep thought.

In the eyes of the outside world, Bayern Fischer is a strong and tough man. He always stands tall and confident, as if he can stand firm no matter what kind of storm he faces.

However, few people really know that beneath this seemingly indestructible appearance, there is a heart that is constantly struggling with the pain and regrets of the past.

Fortunately, as time went by, Byrne found that his inner strength was gradually strengthened. He was no longer troubled by the shadows of the past and came to reconcile with his own heart.

Everyone makes mistakes, experiences failure and setbacks, and these experiences are an important part of shaping who they are.

Accept your own imperfections and cherish every opportunity to grow and learn; that is the true purpose of the path to knowledge.

And Robert Taylor was just the most insignificant one among many setbacks.

A smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he shook his head calmly and said:

"Let him go."

Darren frowned, opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

"Okay, I get it, Father."

After a while, the old man sat calmly in the carriage. After confirming that the carriage had left Nasir City, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and dirty urine flowed out of his pants.

"Great, we fooled him, hahahaha... Byrne, I'm really scared of you. Over the years, we've heard too many rumors about Fischer's rise. We're really scared!" Robert was extremely excited.

Just then, he suddenly heard a voice.

"Although my father is a good man and hatred cannot remain in his heart forever, it is a pity..."

The old man was shocked to find that Darren Fisher, wearing an iron mask, had appeared in the carriage at some point.

It's like a demon coming for revenge!

Robert was terrified and trembling as he said:

"I! I haven't done anything to you! Forgive me! Please, do you really hate me? We have never met before, and that incident happened so many years ago!"

"I don't hate you."

The voice from behind the iron mask stunned Robert, but Darren's devilish words that followed terrified him to the extreme.

“But I’m not a good person.”

"Just thinking about you, someone who has bullied our family and father, being able to leave Nasir peacefully and enjoy the rest of your life. And then thinking about how Black Tide has been looking for you for so many years and has spent so much effort, and this is the result?"

"I just feel... not quite reconciled."

The old man finally realized that Byrne's son was a completely different person from him, and he roared in horror.

"No! No no no! Don't come over here! Aaaaaaaaaaah!"

——

On the outskirts of the southern border of East Coast Province, as the afterglow of the setting sun gradually faded, a huge army quietly gathered.

This selected area is far away from the hustle and bustle of the town and appears unusually solemn and dignified due to the presence of the army.

The army's array stretched for miles, like a giant dragon winding across the earth. Temporary command tents were erected in the core area, and the entire assembly area was filled with a tense yet orderly atmosphere.

As night falls, the alchemical tools at the gathering place gradually light up, shining in harmony with the stars in the sky.

Inside the largest command tent, Isabel, the "Bishop of the Recast Church" who had taken away and tortured Felix, raised her head and looked at the silent "Silver Poetry" and Siat's new king, "Sword of Redemption" Noah.

This time, "Sword of Redemption" Noah did not gather the forces of the major families, but came secretly as a member of a heretical cult. Even this batch of troops was secretly mobilized, and the number was actually not large.

Isabel waved her steel arm and said slowly, "The East Coast Province is ahead."

"There are many people who came to encircle and suppress the Fisher family this time. They have incurred public wrath."

Noah nodded slightly and said calmly: "It is true. There are more people than I imagined."

"The Fisher family has erected a barrier on the east coast, and it has been fully activated recently. As long as we cross the barrier, we will be discovered."

Isabel smiled calmly and sarcastically, saying, "So what if we are discovered? We will go straight to the Four Towns and destroy the Fisher family in an instant!"

The lineup that attacked the Fisher family this time was really too large, including six powerful monarchs of the Star Embracing Society and four powerful monarchs of the Word of Silence.

The leaders of the two forces, the Silent Ones and the Black Star, who had taken the initiative to join forces, were not in the army, and no one knew where they had gone.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the western border of East Coast Province.

Best and Marquis Rad had already arrived and both landed here.

"arrive."

Best's voice came from the cloak, and at this moment, Marquis Rad saw two figures flying in the sky, and one of them possessed powerful strength that was not inferior to his own.

He was stunned for a moment, and soon recognized that the other person was Prince Conrad of Cania!

"Is that Kania's man?"

Best nodded slightly and said coldly: "Yes, the two of them are also our helpers in this battle. As long as the fourteen powerful monarchs attack at the same time, the Fisher family will not be able to survive even if they have any incredible power."

Marquis Rad also opened his mouth and said in surprise: "Fourteen powerful monarchs are enough to destroy a country! You really value Fischer very much!"

He paused and shouted excitedly: "The barrier has been activated on the entire East Coast. We can only exert half of our strength, but it is enough. This time we must destroy Fisher."

Best chuckled.

"Even if there are some terrible changes, there is no way to change your fate, Byrne. What can you do to solve the desperate situation now?"

"In fact, you are also very clear, in the face of absolute power, no matter how much you plan, it will be useless."

"The demise of the Fisher family is imminent!"
