Chapter 260 Putting the blame on
Sometimes, gaps like those torn by sharp claws appear in the sky of the dimensional world, revealing mottled purple light. It may be hot in the summer one second, and cold in the next.
In this bizarre environment, the three major families not only have to face the occasional elemental storms, but also have to resist the sneak attacks of monsters from all directions.
Ten days have passed, and the construction of the camps of the three major families has entered the final stage. In order to collect more complete strategic resources, the major families have traveled farther and farther to explore, all in preparation for the final war.
Jacob Mars, holding a magic wand, stood on the newly built watchtower and could see the movements of the other two families through a telescope.
But at this moment, his expression was solemn, and he kept staring at the direction where the vanguard team sent out a day ago left, and his uneasiness in his heart was growing deeper and deeper.
Suddenly, a small dot was reflected in his floating pupils.
The magic badge on the chest flashed with magical luster, and a magic communication scroll flew out. The moment the scroll disappeared, several running monsters immediately jumped out of the camp and ran quickly towards the distance.
When Jacob Mars arrived at the gate of the camp, the magical beasts and trainers who had just gone to carry people also returned to the camp.
When Jacob Mars saw the bloody members of his tribe on the monster's body, anger suddenly burned in his eyes.
"Captain Danny, where are the others? Why are you the only one back? Why didn't you keep in touch with the camp during the mission? What happened?!"
Jacob walked up to Captain Danny, who was covered in blood, and questioned him while others were treating him.
He is fully responsible for commanding the competition among the three major families this time. If any team disobeys his orders or suffers a serious loss under his command, he will be fully responsible, and it will also be a stain on his future holding the highest power in the family.
Therefore, he attached great importance to this competition between families.
The healing light continued to fall on Captain Danny. Danny's condition improved a little, and the anger in his eyes gradually rose.
"It's the Lopez family! They ambushed our team! They killed almost all of us! If Lato hadn't risked his life to stand in front of me, I wouldn't be able to come back!" Danny roared hoarsely.
"Who are these people from the Lopez family? They actually took action now, and they even wanted to kill us!"
Jacob's gaze suddenly turned in the direction of the Lopez family, and he uttered a few words through gritted teeth.
The three major families are currently still in the early stages of construction, and are all focused on development. Only in the middle and late stages will they be likely to engage in direct face-to-face warfare.
And because they are all the manpower of the Windfury Empire, even in a head-on battle, they will definitely not kill you. At most, they will cripple you and make you lose your combat effectiveness.
But only ten days later, the Lopez family attacked the vanguard force of the Mars family. This was clearly a provocation without following the rules!
"I don't know who they are. They are all wearing black clothes, hiding the characteristics of the Lopez family's clothing." Danny said.
"How did you know it was from the Lopez family? Why didn't you say it was from the Orlando family?"
Jacob frowned slightly, but calmed down when he heard what Danny said.
There are clues to this matter.
"Because I heard one of them say to go back and report the situation to Gota. Isn't Gota Lopez the young leader of the knights of the Lopez family?" Danny became excited again.
"Did he say that on purpose for you to hear?"
Jacob looked at Danny and his intuition told him that it was not that simple.
He had heard a lot about Goda Lopez some time ago, and during this period of time, Goda Lopez also played an important role in the Lopez family camp.
In particular, the knights led by Gotha had frequent exchanges with Hit Orlando, the commander of the Orlando family, posing a potential threat to the Mars family.
However, the more Gotha does, the stronger its presence becomes. The spies sent by the Mars family are also constantly monitoring the movements of the Gotha Knights. So when did he send a team to assassinate the Mars family's vanguard squad?
"We were almost wiped out at that time, and those people thought we were all dead, so they used a communication scroll to spread the news. I waited until they left, and then I escaped back with a seriously injured body. So what they said must be true, and they didn't say it to me on purpose to let me come back and spread false news." Danny felt even more pain in his heart when he thought of the miserable condition of his teammates.
Jacob Mars took a deep breath, and his chest trembled uncontrollably.
The fingers holding the wand turned white from excessive force, and the magical elements surrounding him became manic and restless in anger.
"Call all the main forces in the camp and assemble at the camp gate in ten minutes!"
"Yes!"
……
It had been some time since Karenina left, and Gotha, who was busy building the camp, soon forgot about it.
The knights he led were mainly responsible for resource exploration and camp guarding. Although the time was short, commanding all of these alone allowed Gotha to grow rapidly and become much more stable.
And his swordsmanship has become more and more sophisticated through fighting monsters from another dimension in the past few days, but he has no idea when his bloodline will awaken.
Although Gotha gained some family prestige with his performance in the past few days, not all of the younger generation obeyed him, including Monte Lopez, a member of the Lopez family who had been stationed in the fortress for a long time.
Monte Lopez is a branch of the Lopez family. At only 42 years old, he is already a 9th-rank grand mage. He is only one step away from becoming a holy magician.
In terms of magical talent, he even surpassed many Mesozoic tribesmen.
Just because Monte Lopez was from a side branch, despite his great talent, he could only be stationed in the fortress run by the Lopez family to serve as the chief guard.
Perhaps because of this, Gotha always felt that Monte Lopez was targeting him. Over the past ten days, the other party never even looked at him straight in the eye. Even several times when he commanded the Knights to do things, he was driven away by Monte's men.
However, Gotha didn't know that all this happened for a reason.
Monte Lopez is not a law-abiding person, he always has an ambition in his heart.
He always wanted to be the core of the Lopez family and participate in family meetings like those direct descendants.
He has also communicated with Griffin Lopez more than once, hoping to return to the Jinshi Island tribe and participate in the core business.
Griffin promised him the same thing again and again, and over time, the seeds of resentment gradually grew in him.
But what he didn't expect was that on the eve of the competition between the three major families, the patriarch Griffin Lopez found him and gave him a chance.
As long as he could make Goda Lopez disappear, he could enter the true core of the Lopez family.
Monte was naturally very shocked by this matter. After asking, he learned that Godard had betrayed the family and tried to steal family secrets to the hostile forces. Although the family already had evidence, they were forced to consider the overall situation and not let such a scandal be made public due to the identity of the other party's father, Godzilla, as a direct descendant.
Monte had no feelings for his direct descendants, and he had been guarding a remote fortress for decades and had accumulated deep resentment. After hearing this, he thought about it and decided to carry out the execution.
It is impossible for the patriarch to harm the family members. What he needs to do is to eliminate those who are harmful to the family.
Killing two birds with one stone. When the time comes, he will become the core and it will be worth it for the clan leader to entrust him with such an important task.
Monte Lopez naturally would not do it himself. The first thing he had to do was to frame Gotha. He took advantage of the opportunity of a sneak attack on the Mars family's vanguard team to shift the conflict to Gotha.
The Mars family will naturally not let Gotha go.
The cracks in the other-dimensional world were still jumping dangerously, and the dim and uncertain sky was giving rise to flashes of lightning.
A green fireball burning with strange flames appeared without warning above the Lopez family's camp and slammed into the barrier.
Immediately afterwards, an extremely angry voice echoed outside the camp.
"Goda Lopez, come out!"
