Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence

Chapter 512 - 301: Which Family Is the Dressrosa Family? (Part 2)

A moment later, there was still no light, causing the remaining people’s expressions to change drastically.

The absence of white light undoubtedly signified a result.

A result that made their hearts pound with fear.

Even Carlo Dressrosa in the crowd stumbled, his face changing drastically.

The others were not better off at this moment.

"Impossible!"

"How could Father possibly be in trouble?"

"Damn it, how could this be!"

"Come out!"

"Quick, there must be more!"

"Brother, Big Brother!"

Voices called out one after another, with some even unable to resist moving forward.

However, they were soon stopped by the guards.

Meanwhile, the Kalenina family, Liepuer Clan, and Skodar Family all frowned slightly.

"Did they not come out?"

The Old Duke Liepuer sighed softly, with a touch of regret.

He had high hopes for Thor and the entire Dressrosa family.

Both Count Engle and Thor were promising figures in his eyes.

Especially since Thor was about to become a special recruit at Canaan Academy, he valued him even more.

It’s a pity this change was really too great.

"Let’s go!"

Old Duke Skodar shook his head and softly called to his clansmen to leave.

On the other side, Old Duke Kalenina raised his eyebrows slightly.

But that was all.

To him, it was just the Dressrosa family. If given the chance, he wouldn’t mind building a good relationship, but now that they couldn’t return, it didn’t matter.

The reactions of the Three Great Dukes were unknown at this moment, but the fact that the light did not reappear made countless families around the square panic.

This loss was far greater than anyone had imagined.

The Kingdom War was extremely dangerous for most nobility.

But under the Kingdom War, which occurred every hundred years, the losses were usually within a certain limit, normally only about twenty percent, and at worst twenty-five percent. But this time, over thirty percent of the nobility didn’t return.

This included powerful Marquis Families and Top Marquis Families.

Out of seven powerful Marquis Families, four did not return, and one of the three Top-level Marquis Families also did not return. Marquis Sorol, from the remaining two Top Marquis Families, was also missing.

As for those below the powerful Marquis Families, the numbers were even higher.

Especially at the level of the Count’s Clan and Marquis Families, the number of losses was undoubtedly the highest.

More than half of the over twenty Marquis Families could not return.

Among the more than a hundred Count’s Clans, more than half also did not return.

The impact caused was almost earthquake-level.

At this moment, members of various families on the square stared blankly ahead.

They were still muttering under their breath.

"Father."

"Impossible!"

"Father is not in trouble."

Carlo Dressrosa’s face was pale, muttering to himself.

Behind him, many members of the Dressrosa family were the same.

"Thor!"

Tono muttered to himself.

So did the others.

Especially the members of the Dressrosa family from the Eagle Merchant Association.

They were relatively lucky; apart from Jerry, others returned smoothly and with substantial gains.

But at this moment, they couldn’t feel any joy.

After all, Thor had not returned.

Their expressions were solemn and pale, and even the middle-aged beautiful woman beside Carlo had lost the joy she had before.

Earlier, when her husband and father broke through to become a Sky Knight, the middle-aged beautiful woman was ecstatic because even in her family, there hadn’t been a Sky Knight before. The emergence of one naturally meant a lot.

But before the joy lasted a few months, it seemed that the entire Dressrosa family was about to have a major incident.

If Count Engle couldn’t return, it would surely have a huge impact on the entire Dressrosa family.

Even if the Dressrosa family could maintain their current Count status, they would still need to give up a lot of benefits, and if not handled well, they might be swallowed by other families.

Especially considering that not long ago, Count Engle had offended the Spencer Family and many families within the Kingdom, families that previously could be ignored, but now might not mind tearing the Dressrosa family apart.

"Carlo, we have to get back quickly!"

The middle-aged beautiful woman’s expression kept changing, and she quickly urged Carlo Dressrosa, whose face was ashen white.

"Go back?"

Carlo Dressrosa uttered subconsciously.

"Yes, we must return immediately, or the entire Dressrosa family might be in trouble."

The middle-aged beautiful woman spoke in a low voice.

With his wife’s reminder, Carlo Dressrosa suddenly came to his senses.

He wasn’t foolish; as the heir groomed by Count Engle, his knightly talent and abilities were outstanding.

Count Engle had even sought a marital alliance with a Marquis Family for him, and it was even with the legitimate daughter.

With his wife’s reminder, he instantly knew what he needed to do now.

"Alright!"

"I understand!"

Carlo Dressrosa quickly responded and was about to move.

But at that moment, there was a commotion around them.

"Look!"

"They’re coming!"

"There’s more!"

The sound of ecstatic voices spread throughout the square, rekindling hope among those almost in despair, causing them to move forward eagerly.

Even in the distance, Old Duke Liepuer, who was about to leave, paused for a moment.

"More?"

He spoke with a hint of surprise.

His gaze involuntarily shifted to the scene.

Soon, more white light shimmered, and silhouettes appeared.

This time, more people appeared, with the white light gradually fading after a moment.

As eager eyes looked towards where the white light had faded, the unfamiliar family crests stopped their joyful expressions, turning them once more to despair.

Only on the side of the Dressrosa family.

All eyes instantly widened.

"Father, it’s Father!"

"It’s really Father!"

Carlo’s voice of joy rang out.

The middle-aged beautiful woman was startled, and soon her expression turned to one of delight.

The entire Dressrosa family, with wide eyes, couldn’t hide their ecstatic expressions.

Especially the members of the Eagle Merchant Association’s family.

"Thor!"

"It’s Thor!"

"I knew it, Thor would be fine!"

Tono smiled, and his previously furrowed brow completely relaxed, leaving only a smile.

"Hahaha, of course, Young Master Thor is so strong, how could anything happen to him."

Voices were mixed in, and each person’s smile was hard to conceal.

At this moment, the emptiness in everyone’s hearts was completely filled.

In the distance.

Old Duke Liepuer, who was about to leave, looked at the two familiar figures and smiled.

"Send my invitation to the Dressrosa Family, invite them to participate in tomorrow’s banquet."

Old Duke Liepuer’s gentle voice echoed, and then he stepped away from the scene.
