Chapter 687: Unwelcome Visitors

Upon hearing that elder's question, another Hayes family guard stepped forward and replied. "Uh, we don't have the exact number since there are still people being rescued around the city. But we stipulate that the number of casualties among the ordinary inhabitants of this city is no less than 300,000 people." 

Upon hearing that, some of those people sighed silently, but that was all.

The Hayes family might be known for being fair and pursuing justice, but this was an organization of people capable of making tough decisions. As such, they understood that these deaths were part of their desire for peace.

They could fight for a few more years against the Chambers family, fighting these opponents in war camps far away from innocent citizens. But that would come at the cost of a large number of their own family members.

After all, even if the Chambers family had already suffered a significant blow in Yellow City, this would not be enough to weaken this organization to the point that they would be totally suppressed in the war.

No, although those six individuals killed in Yellow City had been pillars of House Chambers, this organization could still manage to survive for a while longer, even without them. But, of course, that would be much more difficult than it would be with the help of those people. Still, it was not at all impossible to win even a few years before the absolute catastrophe hit them.

Therefore, the Hayes family would have to suffer a lot to deal with this family without attacking this town.

Because of this, to avoid the deaths of their own descendants and subordinates, the leaders of this family had taken the step with the greatest chance of victory and the survival of their comrades.

That was to attack Persephone with great force, to destroy the Chambers family base, even if this meant many casualties among the local population.

Hence, these Hayes family elders could not regret this course of action, even if so many innocent people had died!

They might even feel that it was a shame that such people had to die for the sake of their family, but they had no regrets.

At the end of the day, everyone followed their own justice, and it was no different for this organization of the Cromwell Kingdom.

They might be known as righteous, but they were only following their own justice.

It is just that, coincidentally, in the past, many of these family's actions had in a way benefited ordinary people, individuals unrelated to this power.

Unfortunately for these citizens of Persephone, today, they had not been in tune with the Hayes family and had suffered from the justice of such an organization!

Anyway, after silence lingered in that place for a few moments, finally, one of those Spiritual Kings said something. "So, that's how it is..."

"Well, collect all the Chambers family's belongings and distribute the items below medium-level grade-1 classification in this city."

"Such things are of little value to us and may calm the local population for a while. So, do it quickly." He said calmly before looking in the direction of those guards standing in that place and finishing. "As for the rest of the items and crystals, that belongs to the family and should be brought to us immediately!"

"Yes, elder Michael!" Those people replied before they left where the Spiritual Kings were.

After that, those people at the 6th stage of cultivation started talking among themselves. "Do you think that was necessary, Michael?"

"Sure, regardless, this territory will probably stay in our hands until the kingdom decides on a new sovereign. As such, we need to show the population our generosity."

"In fact, we should pay some local citizens to spread the information about that old demon sacrificing himself. That will lessen their hatred of us and increase their anger at the Chambers family." Michael said while sitting in an armchair, full of bloody stripes around his clothes.

Upon hearing this, the most substantial elder standing there nodded in agreement with this level 56 Spiritual King. "Michael is right. That is the best way for us to deal with this Chambers family territory."

"And we don't lose anything by donating those items..."

"What truly matters are the grade-2 resources, the techniques, and the crystals of this family!" He said with a smile on his face as he looked forward to absorbing the Chambers family's financial power.

Upon hearing this, soon, those experts began to comment on this matter. 

"Hmm, that will truly be of great help to us..."

"We may be able to nurture our members who are sent to Dry City more efficiently with the Chambers family inheritance..."

"It's just a shame that the patriarch Dean wasn't here. He probably has the best resources of this family in his spatial ring..."

"Hmm, but the number of items stored in the local vault must not be small either..."

"In fact, we have to do something about it..."

...

Quickly two days passed. 

Meanwhile, those Hayes family experts had discussed many matters concerning Persephone's administration and the inheritance left by the Chambers family.

On the other hand, they had already dispatched people to investigate the mystery surrounding the disappearance of the patriarch Dean. After all, as long as this person was alive, they would have to worry about the revenge of this family and the possible confrontation against more Scourges of the Devil assassins.

So, this investigation was crucial for the Hayes family.

Other than that, those experts were recuperating in that town while waiting for the actions of the rest of the family against the Chambers survivors.

...

But while Persephone was experiencing a new reality under the leadership of the Hayes family, Minos was still at the army's secret base in Yellow City!

After the previous confrontation, this young man had remained in such a place because the rest he needed would take longer than usual. As such, in order not to risk putting himself in danger while traveling through the Black Plain, this young man had stayed in this abandoned city.

But by staying at this base, young Stuart spent most of his time in the Spatial Kingdom, where he could recover much more quickly!

In addition, he could follow the evolution of his Elite Squad soldiers, who at the moment were being trained by Angela and Eda. One of them was still learning the Silver-grade techniques from Minos, while the other was there to replace Lieutenant Ernest in this Yellow City post.

After several days since Eda's return from the City of Water and Elena's move to that place, it was finally time for Ernest to have some time to train in the Spatial Kingdom. As such, Minos had not forgotten to bring this woman with him to this place.

Other than that, things continued to develop in the Spatial Kingdom, with those soldiers getting stronger every day and the spiritual beasts experiencing the same!

...

At this moment, Minos was in that secret base of the Black Plain Army, in a room where Eda and Ernest were sitting in front of him.

"Well, Ernest, now I will give you some time to train in the Spatial Kingdom." Minos calmly said as he looked at those two individuals. "I don't know how long you will be able to train peacefully, but it shouldn't last long."

"Once the war against the royal family begins, I will make everyone above level 45 leave the Spatial Kingdom, except for Emlyn, of course."

Upon hearing this, those two individuals readily understood Minos' intentions.

Dry City and the Black Plain would obviously need stronger experts when the war against the Brown family started.

After all, from then on, this territory of young Stuart could be attacked from all sides by tens of thousands of enemies!

"OK, young master. I will make the best use of these days in the Spatial Kingdom!" Ernest said in determination, without questioning his boss.

"Hmm, that's good. As for you..." He then looked at Eda and continued speaking. "Be careful with people above level 54. They will be dangerous to you..."

"Hmm, I will..." Eda was about to respond to Minos' advice when suddenly the door of that room opened, and a soldier rushed into that place.

"Young master, we have visitors investigating the outskirts of the Yellow City!"
