Chapter 539 - 315: Kingdom Turmoil, Church of Gods
An impulse had already decided the outcome. No, perhaps the outcome of the Spencer Family was inevitable ever since the conflict with the Northern Alliance began. Whether it was the Spencer Family’s Sky Knight causing trouble for Marquis Engle, or the subsequent targeting, or the arrival of those people, everything was destined from the beginning.
After all, facing Thor’s occupation of such a vast territory and such a large resource point, the pioneer descendants of the Spencer Family couldn’t possibly not be tempted. And with his temperament, the likelihood of being made an example of by Thor was almost certain.
Everything that followed.
The arrival of the Spencer family and its targeting.
Was also the same.
Especially the latter, with the rise of the Dressrosa Family, it would inevitably squeeze the survival space of strong marquis, particularly since the Spencer Family and the Dressrosa Family had enmity. Being close enough, they would either have to accept Dressrosa’s development or nip the threat in the bud.
Clearly, it was impossible for them to accept their interests being invaded and the opponent’s easy rise.
This is true whether in the thousands of years of history in past lives or in the hundreds of thousands of years of history in this world.
The rise of one family inevitably leads to intense conflict.
The Spencer Family was extremely decisive.
In the kingdom war, they decisively united with seven other powerful marquises preparing to take action against the Dressrosa Family.
Under normal circumstances, this decisiveness was enough.
The newly breakthrough Count Engle, regardless of strength, simply could not withstand the targeting of seven strong marquis families, even if only four or five families genuinely wanted to act. But that was enough.
But that was under normal circumstances.
Neither Thor nor Marquis Engle were normal circumstances.
No need to mention Thor, possessing daily intelligence systems, directly took away members of the Spencer Family in one swoop.
Marquis Engle, it seemed, after entering the kingdom war, unlocked a mysterious checkpoint, and the fortune in the kingdom war continued to surge forward.
First, he obtained the essence of life, then in a battle that was supposed to end in death, he felt the domain due to Thor’s arrival and stepped one foot directly into the realm of the Half-Step Sanctuary.
Just like that.
The whole situation was totally reversed.
No longer was it about whether the Spencer Family would target the Dressrosa Family, but rather if the Dressrosa Family would come to settle scores with them.
Plus, with the substantial loss of elite forces, those figures hidden underground emerged to target the Spencer Family.
If it was the previous Spencer Family, they might not have had enough courage to come over, but the current Spencer Family had no intimidating power.
And facing these people, the Spencer Family had no ability to choose.
As dusk gradually passed.
As time approached the half-moon mark, the chaos within the Spencer Family suddenly spread.
Initially, the attacks were clandestine, but now no longer concealed, large numbers of caravans and resource points came under greater attack.
Meanwhile, a figure arrived at the Spencer Family castle.
Subsequently, more nobles arrived at the Spencer Family castle one after another.
Then,.
At dawn, fifteen days later.
A massive disturbance was heard from where Spencer Family castle stood.
Terrorizing life source power erupted.
Even from afar, there were those who heard a roar.
These sounds quickly vanished.
As the morning sunrays shone, viscount headed to the Spencer Family castle found it reduced to ruins, with numerous buildings collapsed, scarlet blood seeping across the ground.
Bodies strewn all over in the rubble.
Each of their eyes still filled with fear.
Witnessing these corpses, the noblemen felt a chill run down their spines.
"Who did this?"
A noble murmured to himself, involuntarily swallowing hard.
Yet no one answered their words.
As they too were unclear about who had the capability.
Even with the Spencer Family’s core force heavily damaged, as a top marquis family, no one doubted they still had some foundations.
These foundations weren’t what some small families could touch.
Especially at such speed, not even overnight, no, perhaps it shouldn’t even be called overnight, but rather less than half an hour, the Spencer Family seemed to have been settled.
Such power far exceeded their imaginations, likely only a powerful marquis family possessed such strength.
"Do you think another family did it?"
"Yes, the Spencer Family has quite a few resources."
A variety of voices mixed in, everyone’s expressions brimming with curiosity.
"Do you think it was the Dressrosa Family!"
"Don’t forget, over the past hundred years, the Spencer Family has only notably offended the Dressrosa Family!"
"Right, I think the Dressrosa Family is more likely to have acted!"
"I think so too."
"Me too!"
"Tsk tsk, the Spencer Family is utterly finished, the Dressrosa Family, really strikingly lucky this time!"
"Indeed, with the Dressrosa Family advancing to Marquis this time, it seems they’ll soon replace the Spencer Family, becoming a strong marquis family."
