One of the generals toughened up and cautiously asked Grandpa Yofan.
"Supreme elder, w-why can't we notify the family head? This is our family crisis. She should know about it, right?"
Grandpa Yofan paused a bit before shaking his head.
"No. Even if our family vanishes today, if the family head is still alive, we can rebuild the Sloan Family anytime with the sacred beasts' assistance."
Grandpa Yofan had a solemn look on his face as he looked up at the cloudy night sky.
"But if our family head also perished, then there will be no hope for the Sloan Family in the future!"
Grandpa Yofan's words strike the heart of the crowds behind him. Each of them looked at the old man's fragile back with teary eyes.
The supreme elder...is ready to defend the family until we perish!
The crowd knew what Grandpa Yofan actually meant. He hinted at them that the Sloan Family might cease to exist today. They wouldn't be able to survive this war, much less winning it.
Thus, they could only evacuate the younger generations, the future of the Sloan Family. They also had to protect their family head, the key to the Sloan Family's survival.
At this moment, even the scheming branch families were also shaken. Each of them gritted their teeth as they toughened up their resolve.
We shall protect the Sloan Family to our last breath!
For the future. For the younger generations!
While the adults and youngsters were ready to war, the children were already prepared to evacuate.
The Sloan Family had contacted the Walter Family, and the Walter Family had sent a few batches of forces to protect these kids.
Some even joined the Ale Branch Family to help rescue the villagers at the main village.
However, since it was an emergency force, they also couldn't overthrow the state of war tonight.
They could only do so when the Walter family head took the lead to defend the Sloan Family!
However, it seemed that none of the Walter Family's higher-ups had reported this matter to the family head.
The fact that they already sent so many people to help the younger generations evacuate was already something big for a mere ally like the Sloan Family.
Grandpa Yofan also knew that the Walter Family wouldn't help them so much until they sent their main forces to defend the Sloan Family.
After all, this war could be considered quite huge since so many parties were involved, and the Aretha Family was the one initiating the attack.
If the Walter Family also jumped into the fray, the Aretha Family would summon more forces, and the war would escalate to a big war between two top figures in the mafia society.
Surely, even the Walter and the Aretha Family wouldn't do that just to fight over the Sloan Family, right?
Thus, Grandpa Yofan was already determined to defend the Sloan Family alone.
The old man straightened his back as he looked at the vast field, which was now filled with the Sloan Family's forces.
All 6 branch families came into aid and the Sloan Family literally used all the forces they could use.
From the accountant team with supportive abilities, the maids, the servants, the gardener, the chef, literally all troops that could fight or could aid the fighters were gathered at the field.
They're ready to defend the Sloan Family. However, the enemy was also ready to attack.
At this moment, the enemy's main army had started to show up.
GRRK. GRRK. BOOM! BOOM!
The ground shook from the beasts and monsters' footsteps.
ROAAAR. KRRRR! KAAAAK!
The menacing growl of the aerial beasts and monsters travelled across the field, announcing their grand arrival.
The sound of the ability users' footsteps followed right after the beast and monster noises.
The forces kicked the ground. Dusts rose from the ground, forming layer after layer of thick muddy fog.
Even when the army was still as small as an ant across the island, one could already see the thick dust rising to the air, telling others just how many people were needed to create that effect.
Coincidentally, the clouds slowly moved away, revealing the full moon behind them.
The gentle moonlight immediately shone upon the vast field, and the row of silver armour reflected the moonlight perfectly.
The sight of a hundred people wearing various armour from various families came into view.
The night wind blew, and various flags bearing the symbol of 5-6 families fluttered in the air, standing high and mighty.
The sound of drums and footsteps blended into one rhythm…
The rhythm of war and possibly death.
Grandpa Yofan slowly rose to the air with his blonde hair fluttering behind him.
With one single glance, the old man instantly saw the difference between his family and their enemy.
The enemy wasn't only consisted of ability users, but they're also equipped with weapons from head to toe.
High-quality armour, a gun or sword in hand, a shield or bows…
Thankfully, the enemy didn't bring cannons or something, but those people riding on the back of the aerial beasts and monsters were all archers or long-range ability users.
Once they attacked from the sky, even the mansion would cease to exist.
Compared to the enemy's force, the Sloan Family was pitiful to the bone. Only a handful of them had weapons in hand, and it was all people from the Riger family.
The Sloan Family had a handful of aerial beasts and monsters, but the number didn't even come close to 50.
The beasts and the monsters on the ground were a bit more abundant, but they also didn't come close to 100.
The Sloan Family's forces were too scarce to even put up a fight!
