Chapter 91: Chapter 91: Valley Victory
"May the Forebearer bless, my seven sons of Blackwood, victorious in battle, vanquish all foes!"
"Form the array!"
In a valley, the seven sons of Blackwood leapt up, pulling out the Forebearer\'s cards from their bosoms and tossing it into the sky.
They surrounded a dozen people with the Seven Stars Array, and under the connection of psychic powers, seven massive psychic-powered equipments in the array obliterated the enemies.
This was their years of cultivating the "Lifeblood Drawing Technique," where the seven acted as one in the array.
They even had their exclusive POSS.
"..."
Let\'s not mention it; it was the seven black bears that were embarrassing, but Ethan, watching the screen, was the one who felt awkward.
In the distance.
Daniel, holding the position of family head, stood on the mountain, not embarrassed by the scene at all, looking like a dazed fool.
Beside him was Holden Moore, who had been collaborating with the Blackwoods for years, ambushing Taylor from Bluefield in the Silver Iron Forest.
At that moment.
This middle-aged man, with a few strands of white hair but still handsome and scholarly, twitched his mouth upon seeing the operation of the Blackwood seven sons, "Daniel, your seven brothers, they really are... truly... heroic."
"Thank you for the compliment, Grandpa Holden."
Daniel nodded blankly, "Is it over on your side?"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Holden looked up, and in the distance, a psychic power floated up, "It\'s over, the harvest is as usual, half for each of our families."
Ethan, in front of the screen, looked at the small text above their heads.
A prompt appeared in the event column.
[Blackwood Year 63]
[Your descendant Daniel has been interacting with the Moore of Silverwood for years. Silverwood Moore has allied with the Sky Sect, under the control of the Rodriguez family affiliated with Sky Sect. Blackwood has allied with the Xuanwu Sect affiliated Cloudrise Oceanview Pavilion.]
[Congratulations, your family has once again cooperated with Silverwood Moore to intercept the outer disciple team of Sky Sect returning from Yangqing County with trophies.]
[Special event reward received: Spiritual Tribute, +200]
Two years had passed in the game.
Daniel was becoming clearer on how to be a family head, now a 33-year-old middle-aged man, yet still youthful, making him seem inexperienced at first glance.
Among the Blackwood seven sons, Thomas and Anthony had already broken through to Emerging Ability.
The other five were between the seventh layer of Foundational Energy and its peak.
Two years had not stripped them of their youthful naivety. Now in the family, the seven sons of Blackwood were utterly obedient to Daniel.
"Grandpa Holden was wrong," Daniel shook his head slightly.
Hearing this.
A hint of wariness flashed in Holden\'s eyes, "Did Blackwood ask for too little? Indeed, Blackwood contributed more this time."
After others in Blackwood rarely appeared, he had been collaborating with Daniel over the years, intercepting other forces together, obtaining resources, and developing together, which was also their way of survival in these chaotic times.
At first, he was somewhat dissatisfied, complaining that Blackwood had sent such a young lad, wouldn\'t that hold him back?
But later, he gradually realized.
This young man was much more terrifying than Nathan he had dealt with before! Nathan was steady, honest, and responsible.
Daniel was different.
This guy was very straightforward; he only recognized one dead principle: Blackwood must not suffer losses. For this, he could go to any lengths, fight for anything!
Holden even saw that Daniel, to extract information from an enemy, could still maintain his current expression, slowly hoist the opponent up, gradually roast the opponent\'s flesh, and feed it into the opponent\'s mouth.
"No, Grandpa Holden, last time we cooperated, you lost people, this time Blackwood will not take the harvest," Daniel said innocently.
"Hmm?"
Holden became even more cautious, "Daniel, don\'t be polite, Moore and Blackwood have been life-and-death allies for many years, I, Holden, cannot accept this batch of resources."
Daniel said no more, "Then it won\'t be given."
"..."
Holden\'s facial muscles twitched suddenly, feeling as if Daniel\'s straightforwardness left no room for refusal, almost as if he should just accept it outright!
Sure enough, Daniel said, "Grandfather Holden has been loyal to the Rodriguez family, but how much do you really know about them?"
"You..."
Holden\'s eyes gradually widened, and he swallowed, "What are you going to do?!"
"Years ago, my elder brother was under the tutelage of the Fire Scale Taoist at Sky Sect, a core disciple who received great kindness from him. Unfortunately, there was a direct descendant of the Rodriguez family in Sky Sect named Silas, who nearly caused my brother\'s death, and for twelve years he was obliterated from memory."
Daniel let out a long breath, "I thought that was the end of it, but the Rodriguez family harbored a grudge, repeatedly opposing my brother. I, from Blackwood, had no choice but to send the entire Rodriguez family to their demise."
"This..."
Holden panicked, his back drenched in sweat in a short time. Having reached the mid-stage of Emerging Ability, he hadn\'t felt this nervous in a long time. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said, "Lord Blackwood, the Rodriguez family has an ancestor with Developing Skill!"
"Daniel knows."
"Lord Blackwood, does your family elder know about this?!"
"I\'ve asked the family elders, they all know."
"I... ah, in recent years, my Moore family has also been troubled by many problems, let me think about this significant matter..."
"Grandfather Holden is a life-and-death friend of mine in Blackwood. If you don\'t want to go, then forget it, Daniel will leave."
"Wait, our Moore and Blackwood are inseparable, what concerns Blackwood concerns Moore too, I\'m in!"
Holden deflated like he was truly frightened. Daniel dared to tell him such a life-and-death matter so boldly. If he refused, would someone like Daniel let him leave with the information???
"Daniel will remember this favor, Grandfather Holden, let\'s go home together."
Watching Daniel\'s retreating figure, Holden weakly followed by sword.
He let out a long breath, "I should have just accepted it earlier."
