Midnight.
It was autumn, and dawn came later than in summer. It was the darkest time of the day.
The entire city was still brightly lit. There was never a time when this place where the three seas intersected was not bright. The last time the entire city experienced a blackout was a hundred years ago.
The streets and alleys were filled with a tense atmosphere, and it didn't have the slightest taste of the previous October carnival …
Not long ago, the rumors about the Five Great Clans became more and more intense, and the number of people who withdrew money from the city kept increasing.
Now, the capital chain of the five great clans was really in trouble, just as they had said before.
This situation caused the situation in the city to become increasingly tense.
Since that night, there had been another rumor that the five great families had privately used the military funds of the garrison army, which was why Captain Hai Long had personally escorted them to the Crimson Light Federation.
This trip was actually secretly facilitated by the five great families. It was to fill the hole in the military budget and prevent Captain Hai Long from causing a ruckus.
This rumor was just a small rumor, but it caused the people of the city to be even more panicked and angry.
As the armed forces of Davo City, the garrison had always been the most trusted by the people.
In the eyes of the commoners, the troops of the other forces were the private armies of the nobles and major forces. They wouldn't protect the commoners at all.
In times of crisis, the ones who could truly protect the people were the garrison troops.
Now, the five great families had used the military expenditure of the garrison army. This was going to be a mess!
While the people were panicking, they were also extremely angry. These nobles and big shots were actually using the garrison's military funds. They didn't care about the people's safety at all.
In addition, during this period of time, Hai Long's image in the hearts of the people was constantly improving, and his favorability had increased to "Intimate" …
The people were skeptical about the news, but they all stood on the side of the garrison army.
In the face of such rumors, the five great clans were both angry and helpless. Where did these bullsh * t rumors come from?
Even if the Five Great Clans were to borrow a hundred guts, they would not embezzle the military funds of the garrison army. This would not only affect the interests of the Sea Dragon Regiment Commander.
However, the Five Great Clans had no time to refute the rumors. Too many things had happened in such a short period of time, and they were exhausted.
In particular, there was news from the Lava Islands that Captain Hai Long had escaped. This was simply horrifying bad news.
Since nightfall, the five great clans had fallen into a state of panic. They mobilized their forces to protect their respective clans' headquarters.
…
In the Western District, in a dark alley, the sound of scattered footsteps could be heard from all directions.
The voice was very soft, and in the distant lights, one could see a shadow shuttling back and forth, rushing towards the Colsen family's headquarters.
These were the elite troops of the garrison. After Captain Hai Long returned, they immediately moved out. Their targets were the Cosen Family, Mayni Family, and the Elliot Family.
The footsteps of these garrison troops were very light. As an elite troop, they were all experts above Realm Three.
Furthermore, the military officers leading them were all Quasi-Realm Five powerhouses.
In the shadows, these soldiers moved like ghosts. Their concealment techniques were also extremely brilliant.
Just this stealth ability alone made Davo City's garrison army one of the strongest armies on the continent.
On the street in front of them, two old men swayed back and forth. They were the descendants of the Redbud clan and were responsible for dealing with the Colsen clan's fifth realm experts.
"I really didn't think that there would be a day where we would wash the Colsen Family in blood …"
"Speaking of which, the Colsen Family's history is somewhat related to our Redbud clan."
The two old men looked into the distance. The Colsen Family's headquarters was at the edge of the Western District. Behind it was the harbor where they had their private port. If something went wrong, they could escape from the private port.
"Origin? The founder of the Colsen Family relied on the support of our Redbud clan. Later, when he saw us decline, he immediately cast us aside. Is this origin? This is a grudge … "
One of the old men coldly snorted. His wrinkled face had a pair of cold eyes.
The other old man was at a loss for words. He muttered, "Fine, then it is a grudge. That's what I meant, a bad origin … Tonight is the time for them to pay back … "
Looking at each other, the two old men laughed strangely. Their figures flashed, and like two clouds of smoke, they rushed forward towards the Colsen Family's main gate.
Peng peng peng …
Lights shone over. The Colsen Family's defensive forces were very vigilant and immediately sensed the abnormality.
However, under the illumination of the lights, only two clouds of smoke could be seen. One could vaguely distinguish a shadow within the smoke.
This shadow was no longer the old man's figure. Instead, it was a three meter tall figure with sharp claws and a pair of wings.
Kacha kacha …
The main gate that could withstand four star weapons was cut into dozens of pieces by the claws. Two sharp laughs rang out as they rushed towards the shadows of the manor.
In the next moment, panicked screams rang out, and then turned into pitiful screams.
Hiding in the shadows, the three fifth realm experts of the Colsen Family only needed a few moves before they were completely silent.
Seeing such a commotion, the guards who had rushed to the gate were all shocked.
Originally, the leading officer was still secretly cursing these two foreign experts for causing trouble. If they beat the grass to the grass and startled the snake, then they would be completely exposed.
Now, these officers' hands were covered in cold sweat. Fortunately, they had been very respectful just now. Otherwise, if they offended such a terrifying expert, then they would not be able to eat or sleep in peace.
"Move out!"
"Change the battle plan. We will attack from the main gate to avoid the Colsen Family's experts. Report the location of these fifth realm experts at all times … "
With such an order, a figure flew over and rushed through the broken gate.
In a moment, fierce battles broke out all around the manor. With the two old men taking the lead, this surprise attack did not meet any resistance. They killed their way into the core of the Colsen Family's headquarters.
"Two old sirs, take it easy. Don't destroy the Colsen Family …"
Listening to the report from the communicator, the leading officer broke out in cold sweat. These two old men were too terrifying. In just half an hour, a third of the Colsen Family's direct descendants had already been killed.
This was not the plan …
Hai Long's order was to destroy the armed forces of the five great clans. The leaders of those clans would still be left behind.
After all, if the five great clans were to be destroyed, then there would be no one to take over the vacated positions.
At that time, it would be difficult to stabilize the entire Dawo Gold City.
"Hehehe … don't worry. We have a sense of propriety. Not a single one of these bastards deserve to die. "
"The ancestors of the Colsen Family have some grudges with our ancestors. Seeing these little bastards, I can't help but feel a little unable to hold back."
The two old men laughed strangely and casually killed another young man from the Colsen Family.
The leading officer did not say anything. He had detailed information on the Colsen Family and was very clear on the ugly faces of the younger generation.
The young man who just died was a notorious young master of the Colsen Family. For the sake of the family's status, he even climbed into the bed of his uncle Nochi.
Relying on his relationship with Nochi, the things he did outside were enough for him to spend dozens of times in prison.
"Two old sirs, please take it easy. When I return, I still have to report. If too many people die, I will be severely punished by the army commander. You should at least leave some breathing room … "
The leading officer sighed and said awkwardly.
Hearing this, the two old men stared blankly for a moment. Looking at the officer's face, they began to laugh. Some of the officers of the garrison army still had a good temper with them.
… …
On the other side.
The Hainey Family's headquarters.
Compared to the fierce battle in the Colsen Family, this place was very quiet.
The huge manor was heavily guarded. Searchlights swept across the area, clearly revealing the main paths of the manor.
In a corner of the manor, Hayashi River and the little boy Arlong were swaggering along the road.
Despite the searchlights sweeping past, the surrounding guards and sentries did not seem to see the two of them.
This scene made Arlong very surprised. He looked at Hayashi River, wanting to say something but hesitating.
He wanted to open his mouth and ask how it was done, but he was worried that if he opened his mouth, he would be exposed.
"It's fine. Whatever you want to say, they can't hear. "Hayashi River said.
"Meow …"
The Blue Kitty softly meowed. Lying on its master's shoulder, it lazily looked around. It was also telling the little boy that there was no need to worry about anything. As long as it was by its master's side, no matter how much noise it made, it would not be discovered.
Arlong's face revealed a look of awe. He whispered, "Sir, is this also a kind of innate ability?"
Hayashi River shook his head. "This is not innate ability. It's some other kind of power."
Hearing this, the little boy was at a loss. Ever since his power had awakened, he had understood how powerful his innate ability was. He had once believed that innate ability was of a higher level than the Psychic Force.
This was because when his innate ability had just awakened, it was already comparable to a realm two powerhouse.
It should be known that ordinary people needed to cultivate for a long time to reach the second realm. Some people's life's limit was the second realm.
"Innate ability is indeed very powerful. However, you should not think that martial artists who cultivate the Psychic Force are weak because of this …" Hayashi River said.
Seeing that Arlong was still at a loss, Hayashi River did not continue speaking. The little boy had only come into contact with power for a short time. In the future, he would understand that a powerful innate ability was a kind of advantage.
However, there were also many people in this world who relied on unremitting efforts to obtain great power.
Of course, these principles would not be understood by Arlong now. In the future, when he encountered a truly strong opponent, he would understand this point.
Tonight, he didn't bring the little boy here to preach.
Instead, he wanted to deal with the shadow in Arlong's heart before the garrison army arrived.
Adols of the Hainey Family, the middle-aged man who had brought the little boy here, was the little boy's sore spot.
This sore spot had to be dealt with by Arlong himself. Only then could his power be completely awakened.
"Hurry up and guide this little guy through the last step of awakening. Hurry up and come over …"
Mossy Bone's voice sounded in the earpiece. He controlled the Phantom of Void Bones and entered the Redbud Treasury.
After using the Blood Bramble Sword, Mossy Bone discovered a secret. He had to wait for Hayashi River to go over as well. According to the AI, this was an extremely shocking discovery.
