Chapter 148 The Game of the Royal Capital
On the side in the "offensive" posture, everyone covered their faces with something and wore "unified" badges and patterns.
It was the coat of arms of three other great noble families, including the Wang family.
The flags carried by the side that is either 'defending' or 'fleeing' have different patterns.
During the battle, the actions of those on the 'defense' side or those seemingly 'neutral' will change from time to time, whether they retreat or join one side in the fight...
"So, after the death of Wizard Sunil, the other four great noble families in Giant Shield City are purging the power of the Sulun family?"
Clearly, it was the other three great noble families, including the royal family, who were joining forces to crush the power of the Sulun family and, incidentally, eliminate the Sulun family's vassals.
Meanwhile, the other nobles in the royal city, those independent nobles who were not yet vassals of the five major nobles, were doing their best to maintain their independence in this chaos, or they had no choice but to bow down in this upheaval and become vassals of a major noble.
After confirming the situation in the city, Loon couldn't help but be surprised.
In Giant Shield City, are the relationships between nobles really that tense?
The wizard Sunil had just died, and the Sulun family, which he had supported, along with its vassals, were already facing extermination—this was highly illogical!
Based on Loen's understanding of nobles, they all valued a "basic sense of decorum" when facing each other. Even if a noble was about to decline, the other nobles would not choose to end that noble with weapons.
The reason for this is quite simple—after all, every noble family may face decline at some point.
You do the first day of the month, I'll do the fifteenth.
Today you used force to end the lineage of a noble family, so if you weaken tomorrow, can I also use force to end your lineage?
This method of ending things would make every nobleman feel extremely insecure.
Normally, even a high-ranking noble supported by a wizard would not end another noble in this way—after all, wizards need to ensure the 'sense of security' of the nobles.
But rather...
After seeing the situation in the Giant Shield City clearly, Loon became even more puzzled.
Although no wizards have yet intervened in this brutal siege of another noble family by four powerful noble families, it must be orchestrated by the other four wizards.
"Are those Silver-Gray School wizards just going to let Ralph and his ilk run rampant like this?"
"He doesn't want the sense of security that the wizards provided for the nobles?"
"Or is it because after Kilis caused such a scene in Giant Shield City, many people in the royal city became aware of the wizards' presence, and the Silver Ash School wizards felt they could no longer conceal their activities and decided to give up entirely?"
Luo Ang frowned.
He saw clearly that in the midst of the chaotic battle in the dead of night, the originally "loose" neutral parties, that is, the "independent nobles" who had never been anyone's vassals, were gradually being forced to "unite" amidst the chaos.
The reason they haven't united yet is because there isn't a powerful enough figure among them to serve as the core of that unity.
None of them had a leader who could unite people and gain everyone's respect.
However, on the night of the second day, Loen discovered that the neutral "independent nobles" were approaching the Lake Mountain family's mansion.
Clearly, although the Lake Mountain family has not yet paid any visits to other nobles since arriving in Giant Shield City, these 'neutral nobles' have already decided to drag the Lake Mountain family into the mess and push them out to take the fall.
These ordinary nobles may have been aware of the existence and power of wizards, but they were not clear about the relationship between wizards and nobles, nor about the boundaries between minor and major nobles.
Therefore, in their eyes, although the Lake Mountain family is not yet a great noble family, their power has already surpassed that of some great noble families. The reason they are not yet great noble families is not because they are incapable, but because they are unwilling.
Therefore, they naturally decided to put the Hushan family on the stage to compete with the "Four Great Noble Families," hoping to establish a new alliance with the Hushan family as the core to resist this storm.
At the same time, the Xulun family and their vassals were actively trying to draw the center of the battlefield toward the Hushan family, hoping to use the Hushan family's strength to give themselves a breather.
In Loon's observation, the changes in the Giant Shield City were like a real-life escape game.
The game starts at night and immediately stops when dawn breaks.
Those who are fighting, stop fighting.
Those who are chasing or fleeing will also stop their pursuit or escape.
The nobles who fought each other to the death at night would put on their masks again during the day, look at each other with smiles, and talk about all sorts of things.
But at night, the battle resumed from where it had stopped.
Those who fled continued to flee, and those who pursued continued to pursue.
The court wizards also emerged from the palace, acting as "game saves" in this survival game—"saving" at dawn and "starting" at dusk.
"It seems this could be an opportunity," Luo Ang thought, listening to the increasingly close sounds of battle.
Loon was still unclear about the situation of those wizards in Giant Shield City.
As for the Silver-Gray School wizard, what was he thinking, and where was he at that moment? Loon had no idea.
The situation in the entire Giant Shield City can be described as one where both the enemy and we are in the dark.
Under these circumstances, Loon had a very urgent need to establish contact with Wizard Ralph and the others.
He needs to use the eyes of wizards like Ralph to change the situation in the Great Shield City from one where both sides are in the dark to one where the enemy is in the light and he is in the dark.
"Perfect, this chaos will allow Ralph to 'recognize' me."
Loon touched his face. Although he had disguised his face to some extent, Ralph, as a wizard who had seen Loon before, would definitely recognize him as long as Loon performed even slightly "outstandingly" in the chaos.
After all, he was personally captured and brought back to Chashanling by Luo Ang.
"Incidentally, this chaos can also be used to test some of my ideas."
—To be precise, it wasn't an idea, but an inspiration, an inspiration in slashing techniques.
