After Romanf and the other doctors left, only Elrond, Amy, and Long Chen were left in the room.
"Amy, go to the third drawer of my desk and bring me a box."
Elrond instructed. Amy did as she was told and returned with a box.
The box was made of wood and emitted the aroma of sandalwood.
Elrond opened it to reveal a map.
"I didn't expect you to be a friend from the Eastern Continent. Ever since the apocalypse, the Eastern and Western Continents have been closed off. I've only heard rumors about the Eastern Continent from my ancestors. I didn't expect to meet you in person."
Elrond chuckled. Long Chen's mouth twitched. So I'm still a legend in your hearts.
Elrond unfolded the map. It seemed to be a map from before the apocalypse. It looked very old.
"This is a map of the Western Continent left behind by my ancestors. Although it's from before the apocalypse, the apocalypse didn't affect the tectonic plates too much. It should still be usable now."
"This is the region we're in. As far as I know, there are only two ways to go from the Western Continent to the Eastern Continent."
Elrond pointed at the map and said.
"The first way is to take the longer route and travel by land."
The Eastern and Western Continents were separated by a large ocean, but it wasn't that they weren't connected.
The Eastern and Western Battlefields were the only land that connected the two continents.
However, the Eastern Battlefields were quite far from Poland City. Furthermore, the Eastern Continent was under the control of the foreign races. Traveling from there to the Eastern Continent was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
As for the second way, it was very convenient to travel by sea.
Traveling through the ocean between the two continents was fast and convenient. However, it was much more dangerous than traveling through the Eastern Battlefields.
There were countless powerful mutant creatures living in the ocean. Up until now, no one had been able to travel through the ocean unscathed.
After listening to Elrond's explanation, Long Chen fell into deep thought.
Traveling through the Eastern Battlefields would mean facing the foreign races. Those foreign races were definitely not weak since they were able to contend with the armies of the major factions.
Long Chen estimated that it would be difficult for him to travel through the Eastern Continent.
On the other hand, traveling through the ocean would have a higher chance of success. After all, the ocean was boundless. If he was lucky, he might not encounter any powerful mutant creatures.
Of course, the most important thing was that it was faster to travel by sea.
Therefore, Long Chen immediately decided to take the sea route.
"City Lord Elrond, I need a ship."
"That's not a problem, but the sea route is too dangerous. Are you sure …"
Just as Elrond was about to say something, someone knocked on the door. Charlie's anxious voice came from outside.
"City Lord, not good, the City Lord's Mansion is surrounded!"
"What?!"
Hearing this, Elrond stood up abruptly with a furious expression.
Long Chen and Amy also looked surprised. The City Lord's Mansion could still be surrounded?
The group of people opened the door and went out. They saw Charlie with an anxious face.
"What happened? Who dares to surround our City Lord's Mansion?"
Elrond roared. Charlie was so frightened by Elrond's aura that he couldn't even speak properly.
Elrond was a true Type 6 Grandmaster, and his aura was not something Charlie could withstand.
"Don't panic, speak slowly."
Long Chen released his aura to offset Elrond's anger for Charlie.
Charlie immediately felt relieved and smiled gratefully at Long Chen.
On the other hand, Elrond was shocked. He just realized that Long Chen was not only skilled in medicine, but also strong.
Just his aura alone was enough to offset his anger. This meant that his strength was at least at the Type 5 Grandmaster standard.
At such a young age, not only did he possess terrifying medical skills, he was also a powerful Evolver. People from the mysterious continent in the East really couldn't be judged with common sense.
"City Lord, the City Lord's Mansion is surrounded by the Cape, Pombo, and Stuart families."
Charlie hurriedly said. These three families were the three strongest families in Poland City apart from the City Lord's Mansion.
However, the City Lord's Mansion could survive until now because its power could even suppress the combined might of the three families. Why did the three families choose to attack at this time?
Did they think Elrond was dead?
"Summon the army. Since these three families are courting death, let's grant them their wish."
Elrond said in a deep voice. Charlie's face was bitter.
"My Lord, Young Master Abby transferred the army in your name not long ago. Now we can only mobilize a few hundred guards in the Lord's Mansion."
"What!"
Elrond took a few steps back as if he was hit by a heavy blow.
"Unfilial son! Unfilial son! "
Elrond didn't expect Abby to ally with the three families to deal with him.
But why was that? Did he want the City Lord's position? But it would be his sooner or later!
Long Chen shook his head. He could guess that Abby wasn't willing to wait.
He originally thought that Elrond was dead, but he didn't expect Long Chen to save him. With Elrond's Type 6 Grandmaster physique, it wouldn't be a problem for him to live for another hundred years.
He didn't want to wait that long.
As expected, there was no kinship among nobles.
"Kill!!!"
At this time, a shout came from outside the villa. Everyone rushed out of the villa, only to find that the villa was surrounded.
At this time, only Long Chen, Elrond, Amy, Charlie, and a dozen guards were left in the villa.
Outside, there were at least a few thousand or even tens of thousands of people from the three families.
"Elrond, I didn't expect your life to be so tough. I wanted to take away your City Lord's position without mobilizing a single soldier, but it seems that blood is still needed."
At this time, three middle-aged men walked out from the group of soldiers. They were the heads of the three families.
"Capet, Pombo, Stuart!"
Elrond glared at the three of them, gritting his teeth as he shouted their names.
"If I'm not wrong, the people who ambushed me were sent by you, right?"
"Hahaha, that's right, it was us. Elrond, you've been the City Lord of Poland for long enough. It should be our turn now, right?"
One of the heads of the three families, Capet, laughed.
"Hmph, Poland City was built by my ancestors. Why should I give it to you?"
Elrond snorted coldly. If it wasn't for the efforts of his ancestors, the millions of people in Poland City would have died in the apocalypse.
Not to mention establishing the three great clans.
"Our ancestors also contributed to the creation of Poland City. However, we don't want to waste our breath. Now that the army is here, if you kill yourself in front of everyone, we might consider sparing your daughter's life."
Capet said. Beside him, Pombo was a fat and wretched man. He laughed obscenely.
"After you die, I will take good care of your daughter. Let her be my 22nd concubine."
