"Said what? Our barrier can't defend against aerial beasts

/monsters' attacks. What did the Ale family do to cope with it?

"

Grandpa Yofan glared at the 6 elders, suddenly feeling even more irritated, and impatient.

No, he's actually anxious.

"T-that...the Ale family...re-request a backup, a-and the 9 generals said that...that…

"

The Elder gulped. He hesitated for a second but under Grandpa Yofan's deathly glare, he instantly blurted out.

"The 9 generals are retreating to the main mansion! They said that...prepare for a full-scale war!

"

Boom!

Something exploded in Grandpa Yofan's mind. He blanked out for a few seconds before clenching his fists tightly.

"What? A full-scale war? What do they mean–

"

"The generals said that there are at least 2 mid-level families attacking each of our territories! And, and that...the main army is still on the way to our core territory!

"

The elder finally couldn't hold it back anymore and hastily explained.

It turned out that almost 20 mid-level families were sending their forces to attack the Sloan Family's remaining territories, leaving nothing but the core territory, which was the village near the mansion, and the mansion itself.

The generals only had 50 people under their commands since the Sloan Family kept declining.

Against 100 ability users sent by 2 mid-level families, each of the generals had to flee to the mansion.

They couldn't defend the territories anymore!

Not to mention that their scout team found out another big army coming straight to their Sloan Family's mansion through the vast field used as the training ground.

That field was indeed connected to other places as well and was often used as the battlefield whenever a full-scale war happened.

"T-the mid-level families attacking our territories are varied. 10 of them are affiliated with the Aretha Family. The other 10 are affiliated with the other 7 sacred families!

"

The elder was already out of breath, but he didn't stop. He slowly rose to his feet and looked at Grandpa Yofan with tears threatening to slide down his cheeks.

"T-the main army that's heading our way...t-they...have the Aretha Family's flag...and...and they have an army of aerial beasts numbering to...to...100 beasts, and 1-100 monsters.

"

The elder felt like something was choking him. He didn't even say that aside from the aerial beasts, the beasts and monsters on the land were also numerous.

Not to mention that the main army had at least close to 500 people...no, it should be 1000.

And all of them were from the Aretha Family and 3 high-ranking families affiliated with the Aretha.

"T-this...is a full-scale invasion!

" The elder was already close to fainting when he said the last sentence.

Yes, a full-scale invasion was something the current Sloan Family couldn't withstand. Not to mention that the forces they had inside the mansion barely add up to 300 people.

Even when they forked up all the servants, maidservants, and even kids, they could barely get 500!

That's only half of what the enemy's force had!

Grandpa Yofan heard of the report, and his head already spun around.

"What...just what the hell? The Aretha Family? The family on par with the Walter Family? Why...why would they attack our family out of the blue?!

"

Grandpa Yofan trembled from head to toe. He looked at the people gathered in the backyard, and his heart turned cold.

We only have so little people ready to fight. How do we face this? And the aerial beasts sent by other smaller families are still bombarding our remaining territories…

We only have the drug farm, the weapon factory, and civilian villages left in those territories! It's all we have! And they're all under attack at the same time?

Grandpa Yofan's blood rushed to his head. The old man almost couldn't take it anymore and faint, if not for his strong will and mind.

"...gather all our forces at the mansion. The branch families, and anyone that can fight. Even those with support types of abilities...gather all of them at the backyard.

"

Grandpa Yofan, the one with the highest authority when Ainsley and Elliana weren't at home, immediately made a decision.

"We are going to defend the main territory. Tell the generals to come back as soon as they can. Gather all their forces, retreat to the main mansion and protect our last territory!

"

Grandpa Yofan's voice rang throughout the backyard, instantly quieting the noisy crowds.

In a heartbeat, the crowds bowed to the old man and shouted in unison.

"Protect the main territory! Protect the Sloan Family!

"

The members worked fast. Everyone gathered the family members that could fight. Those who specialised in the war were dragged to the front line while the weaker ones stayed at the rear.

In just 30 minutes, the Sloan Family had arranged their army and even got backup from the defeated armies of their other territories.

The 9 generals arrived with their clothes dyed in blood. All of them kneeled in front of Grandpa Yofan.

"Supreme elder. We are back!

"

"Hum. Forget about our remaining territories. At this rate, even our mansion will be gone. Listen carefully. Our goal is to protect the mansion until we receive support from our allies!

"

The 'ally' he mentioned was none other than the Walter Family.

And of course, before anyone could raise their voice, Grandpa Yofan put his hands behind his back as he turned to look at the crowd.

"This matter...shall stay here. No one should ever tell the family head about our crisis!

"

!

Grandpa Yofan's statement invited gasps after gasps from the crowd.

We shall not notify the family head's team who's at the capital? But then, shouldn't we urge her to come back to help us?!

This...this is insane!
