Chapter 753 Preparing for War?
One week later...
In a few days, many things had happened around Leopoldine, and troops from at least 3 states were already approaching the borders of this domain!
For the past few days, rumors had been circulating in Asken, Utrary, and Lenz that Lothur Ritter, the founder of the company that had rocked Leopoldine, was actually a hybrid of a human and a demon.
Powers throughout the states were alarmed by this news, and many viewed the situation in Leopoldine, where the Ritter Motor Company seemed to have won over even the imperial family, with great concern.
Knowing that few people in these states were favorable to Lothur\'s company, the calls for action against the events in Leopoldine quickly influenced the major local powers.
Within a few days of discussion, these states had authorized action against Leopoldine, and tens of thousands of men were already on the move.
What was the group\'s goal? Eliminate the root of evil in Leopoldine, destroy the Ritter family, take control of the Ritter Motor Company, and use the cars for the good of mankind!
This was a war of all against Leopoldine, and as the days went by, more and more supporters appeared!
Meanwhile, terrible news reached Leopoldine\'s greatest powers.
...
In the capital of the Leopoldine family empire, the emperor had already received news of foreign actions directed against his state and his master\'s company.
Therefore, he had the most important men in his army and some noble powers of his state in front of him.
"Prepare for war. We will be attacked from all sides in no time". Klaus Leopoldine said in a solemn tone to the various Transcendents in the imperial throne hall.
"Warn our leaders who live in darkness. We cannot keep their peace any longer. Either they move, or this threat may even eliminate them."
The men in the room heard this and gritted their teeth. They clenched their fists, never have imagined that they would one day reach this terrible point.
Some of the men left immediately after hearing Klaus\' words, eager to get those messages out as soon as possible.
"Warn the Ritter family as well. We need their strength now. They can no longer hide in the darkness."
"Ritter family?" One of the imperial army generals there heard this and frowned. For him, Lothur\'s family only consisted of three women.
But Elke and Annaliese had not appeared outside the Ritter estate for weeks, and Viktoria, though very strong, would not be enough to make much of a difference.
But then the emperor surprised his men. "The Ritter family currently has over 100 Transcendents in addition to the wives of Lord Lothur Ritter. They are stronger than our Imperial Army!"
The people in the hall opened their mouths in amazement when they heard this, not expecting this newly formed clan to be so powerful.
Klaus knew this because he had been in contact with some of Lothur\'s men whom the Black Flames also controlled. Knowing this, he could not help but send a call to this organization, which would soon face mighty enemies.
The emperor then gave his final command. "Finally, issue an imperial decree. From today, the People\'s Army will be open to mercenaries and civilians. We will give supplies and daily payments to those willing to protect the state by our side!"
...
Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Jansen family...
Emperor Klaus Leopoldine did not even need to send people to warn the most powerful family in his state.
By the time the troops led by Saints had begun to march against Leopoldine, the Jansen family had already realized that trouble was approaching them.
Experts from such a house were already traveling through Leopoldine to join the resistance, while the family leaders held their ground, waiting for the right moment to act.
The leaders of House Jansen were very strong but also very old. They lived in seclusion, trying to make new breakthroughs to live longer, but it was not easy.
But in these challenging times, the family patriarch did not hesitate to go to the family shrine and awaken his ancestors.
"Elders, we have problems that I\'m afraid I can\'t solve alone." The level 20 family patriarch, a man who looked like any other human being, said while kneeling in front of a cylindrical stone that served as the door to a cave. "Please stop cultivating. Otherwise, the family will be destroyed in a few weeks."
After the patriarch\'s stern words, a sound arose inside the cave, deep in the basement of the Jansen headquarters.
The cylinder moved sideways while smoke came from the area that had been sealed until a few moments ago.
Meanwhile, as he saw an intense light emanating from that place, the patriarch heard the sound of stomping.
"What have you gotten yourself into, boy?" A female voice asked in a calm and gentle tone, as a mother would speak to her son upon seeing him return from the street in trouble.
The patriarch bowed his head to the woman, who was his father\'s great-aunt and said. "Elder, Leopoldine has changed a lot lately, and great innovations have appeared to revolutionize our state. Unfortunately, our neighbors covet our technologies, and tens of thousands of experts are moving right now to destroy us and take what we have achieved."
"Leopoldine?" A male voice came from inside as three silhouettes emerged from the area where white smoke obscured the view of what was there.
"That is the name of the state created by one of our vassals, brother." Another man replied.
"Oh?"
"It looks like you got us in a lot of trouble, huh?" The woman remarked, just before she appeared at the cave entrance, and revealed her appearance to the \'young\' patriarch.
Looking at the appearance of these elders he had never seen before, the patriarch noticed that they looked pretty old, but what was most striking about the three siblings were their pointed ears, a feature long lost among the family members.
These were the grandchildren of Mathias and Verna, the children of the creator of the Jansen family, who had managed to escape his tragic life with the help of Empress Von Weber!
The three of them were the eldest of the family but also close to the lineage of Mathias and Verna, all three at the peak of level 21, cultivation even higher than the one their father had reached before his death.
The strongest had a soul with just over 8,000 attribute points, an impressive strength for someone who had grown up in Leopoldine.
"Very well, let\'s see what we can do, young man. We do not have many years of life left, but we will try our best to protect our father\'s legacy." One of them ordered the patriarch to stand up.
