Chapter 140 Hero Family! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
On the boat, Byrne stared at the purple-red stone in his hand.
"Why can't it be used? How exactly is it used?"
In fact, he had thought about using the purple-red stone in the battle, but he didn't expect it to be ineffective. Instead, when he learned of Eric's death and the massacre of the Vaughn family, it gradually began to shake unsteadily, as if it was about to burst out with some power, and it didn't calm down until a long time later.
Byrne recalled the description and introduction of the former president of the Alchemy Council. The activation of the purple-red stone needed to be combined with emotional power. Could it be that it was not something that could take effect actively?
Only when the most extreme emotions are combined with the purple-red stone can its true power be brought into play!
"If I really succeed in using it, Lingsu might notice it. After all, I can sense her using the stone from a distance. Conversely, if she still has the purple-red stone, she will be able to sense me."
The identities of those in the Alchemy Council were mysterious, and Byrne knew one thing deep down in his heart: it would be best if he didn't reveal his true identity.
Their ship left the island and gradually approached the town of Nasir.
Fortunately, the Fisher family did not encounter any more enemies who intercepted or pursued them.
The Fisher family members on the ship were in mixed feelings and everyone fell into silence for a long time. There were more than a hundred people from the entire family who went to the expedition, but less than half of them returned in the end.
The sailboat was filled with the bodies of members of the Fisher family, whether they were extraordinary people or ordinary family soldiers. Except for the person who fell into the water that night, not a single body was left behind.
There is no doubt that they suffered the biggest blow to the entire family in more than ten years.
Theo, who was at the helm, gazed at the distant sky and suddenly started singing loudly. Her deep and rich voice spread throughout the ship.
"Sailors of Syat, whether in stormy weather or in the still night, we will march forward firmly."
"Never give up your dreams, sailors of Syat, and be fearless in the road ahead."
“Let God’s wind guide us, and move forward firmly in this vast blue to our beautiful home.”
Everyone listened quietly, and gradually, others started singing along.
Some people burst into tears, crying at the top of their lungs.
Many people can never return to their hometowns and homes.
——
In the town of Nasir, inside the rebuilt villa of Baron Hoven.
The new mayor Andes, who had been depressed for a long time and gradually became obese, stared blankly at the people gathered at Baron Hoven's estate.
A real viscount and three barons. It is rare that so many dignitaries come here.
Among the Syat people who escaped at sea, some families chose this route and headed to Port Nasir instead of Port Phipps.
The Viscount family that came to Nasir Town was none other than the Dawn Family, the family that had recently come into conflict with the Lion Family over water pollution.
The head of the Dawn Family is Viscount Gross. He has always been a man full of heroic qualities, always rushing to the front lines of war. He is the image of a strong and tough man in the minds of many people.
The Dawn Family has lived in Dawn Lake for a long time, with a foundation of more than 500 years. When the Syats arrived a hundred years ago, they failed in their resistance and finally chose to join the Syats. Even though they surrendered, they still own large tracts of land around Dawn Lake.
Originally, the relationship between the Dawn Family and the Lion Family was very friendly, but since the factory area was built in the southern part of Fein City, the situation has changed little by little.
A large amount of factory pollution flows along the river and eventually flows into the Dawn Lake, which the Dawn family attaches great importance to, causing increasingly serious water pollution and affecting agricultural production.
The Dawn Family negotiated with the Lion Family for this, but Viscount Best could not go against the interests of other families for them, so conflicts and estrangements arose between the two families.
"I don't know how many people have escaped back. The bishop is probably dead. Next, it will be up to the Governor, Earl Hoven, to organize the armies of all parties and gather forces as soon as possible to resist the possible counterattack of the Poseidon Cult."
Viscount Gross, three barons, and dozens of trusted knights who followed them were all in the banquet hall of the villa. Everyone had a heavy expression on their faces as they continued to communicate and discuss.
"The crisis has not been resolved yet. There are three powerful monarchs...how could so many of them suddenly appear?" A baron sighed, still feeling very frightened.
They entered Baron Hoven's mansion without permission and set up camp for their troops to rest in the town. Among them, Viscount Gross had the largest army, with more than a thousand people. He strictly ordered that the townspeople should not be robbed, otherwise they would be punished according to military regulations on the spot.
In the town of Nasir, the old priest of the Storm Church was about to retire, but he still came slowly over with a cane.
"Really? The Bishop is dead?"
The old priest was trembling all over, his eyes full of disbelief, but the people in front of him were all extremely heavy-hearted, and no one wanted to say much, but their attitude was already very clear.
"No! Impossible! How could this be? Lord of the vast storm!"
The old priest shouted excitedly and almost fainted on the spot. He was quickly taken away by the waiters to rest.
“I wonder if the Fisher family will flee back to Nasir Port.”
Suddenly someone asked this question. Viscount Gross of the Dawn Family was silent for a while, then said seriously: "It's best for those cowards to die!"
He was only in his forties, wearing blue and white clothes. The most peculiar thing about him was that he had only seven fingers on his pale hands, and on his right index finger was a black and red ring that looked very sharp.
Viscount Dawn has a physical disability, but the disability cannot be repaired, or it is an irreparable disability.
Everyone was slightly stunned. Remember that the Dawn Family was clearly an ally of the Lion Family, so why would he speak ill of the Fisher Family, which was also an ally of the Lion Family?
Could it be that Viscount Gross and the Dawn family behind him have decided to side with the other side?
Every baron was very keen on taking sides, and immediately followed Viscount Gross in scolding the Fisher family.
"It's true! Those rubbish, cowards, shouldn't have survived the battlefield!"
"So many brave people died. If those parasites survived, the gods would be sad and angry!"
"The shame of us Syat people is the Fisher family."
While they were cursing, Viscount Gross of the Dawn Family had been lost in thought, and then he actually made a bigger accusation in public!
"This overseas war is full of weirdness. Maybe there is a traitor inside, which led to our almost complete annihilation. The Lion Family was the first to escape..."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and no one dared to speak.
Viscount Gross continued:
"I think the Lion Family is most likely the traitor, and the Fisher Family has always been on the coast. It would be easy for them to communicate and cooperate with the Poseidon Cult."
Just as he was about to continue speaking, a subordinate suddenly came in to report.
"The Fisher family's ship has arrived at the port!"
After hearing the news, many people sneered and decided to denounce the cowards of the Fisher family and vent the anger that had been pent up in their hearts during the days of escape.
Then news came that the Fisher family killed a priest of the Poseidon Cult at sea.
The banquet hall fell into a dead silence, and everyone was stunned for a long time.
"impossible!"
Viscount Gross said coldly: "The priests of the Sea God Cult are powerful men with extraordinary powers that have transformed and risen to a higher level. The Fisher family will never be able to defeat any of them."
Everyone soon realized that such a thing could never happen, that the Fisher family was just making up lies and exaggerating the facts, and they felt even more disgusted in their hearts.
With a grim look on his face, Byrne slowly entered the banquet hall with Irene and Chris.
"Welcome to Nasir Town, but the attack of the Poseidon Cult is likely to come soon, so we should quickly think about how to organize a defense."
“I wonder if you can contact the Governor, Viscount Best, and Assistant Priest Zain of the Storm Church?”
"Wait a moment!"
Viscount Gross suddenly interrupted him and sneered, "Sir Byrne, I heard that you killed a priest of the Sea God Cult. Is it true or false?"
Byrne frowned and looked around, and soon discovered that there was contempt, disdain and ridicule on everyone's faces. Suddenly, an unknown fire surged in his heart.
The Fisher family really did kill the priests of the Poseidon Cult! And Eric died because of it! Many of their people also died in the war!
And after finally returning to Nasir, the Fisher family was still questioned by those bastards?
The purple-red stone swayed slightly in anger.
He nodded expressionlessly, stared into Viscount Gross's eyes, and said coldly: "Really, and in addition, we also intercepted their ships and important letters!"
Afterwards, Byrne ordered the family's soldiers to move all the seized weapons and equipment, corpses, and relics of the Poseidon Order to the front of everyone, and finally took out the letter that was searched and made it public.
Everyone who saw those things believed them more and more, and the appearance of the corpse being carried out was basically consistent with that of the Valan priest of the Poseidon Cult.
"Very important information! The Star Embracers! The Last Blood! They have openly become the enemy of us Siat people! At the same time, they are also the enemy of the Storm Church!"
He held the letter high and his voice grew louder and louder amid the astonished gazes of the crowd.
"The heretics have united and want to eat the flesh and blood of the Syat people and use our children as sacrifices. What are our people doing?"
"Our people are still questioning their compatriots! Slandering the warriors! I know what you think, but your thoughts make the gods feel ashamed and angry! Now you know! The Fisher family is not a coward, but a hero!"
They finally understood one thing.
The Fisher family did succeed in killing the priest Valan, and the evidence is complete. In addition, they also brought back key information that the heretics have united. As a result, the major churches will pay more attention to the war on the east coast!
They are indeed the heroes of Syat!
Everyone was silent. Many people did not dare to express their praise because of the presence of Viscount Gross. However, deep down in their hearts, they could not help but admire the bravery of the Fisher family.
Even Viscount Gross could only look grim, nodding slowly in silence, and admitted very reluctantly:
"It seems that I was wrong. I apologize to you brave people. The Fisher family is indeed the hero who defeated the priests of the Poseidon Cult and found important information. They are the war heroes of the Siat people!"
