Chapter 537 - 314: The Destruction of the Spencer Family
Regarding the irrational behavior of the Spencer Family, although Marquis Engle could not understand it, he did not intend to pay attention to it; one million gold coins and a first-grade high-level life potion, what a joke.
He even slowed down his further plans for the Spencer Family.
Since the other party is courting death, he has no intention of lending a hand.
"Michael, what about those counts in the eastern and northern parts of the Frost Moon Province?"
Taking a deep breath, Marquis Engle looked at Michael again and spoke in a deep voice.
"Sir, Count Kristin of the east has decided to sell us two small towns, including Qiuye Town, for only one hundred thousand gold coins. As for Count Abibula and Count Vega in the north, they also have the intention to sell, but they have a condition."
Michael pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Condition?"
Marquis Engle frowned slightly.
"Yes, they have only one condition, no need for gold coins, but they require the Dressrosa Family to provide a certain degree of protection for them in the next three years to ensure the smooth inheritance of their territories."
Michael naturally noticed Marquis Engle’s frown, nodded slightly, and then outlined the requests of the two counts.
"Three years?"
"That’s acceptable!"
Upon hearing Michael’s explanation, Marquis Engle’s frown eased.
Just three years, and only to protect their territorial inheritance, is not too much of an issue for the Dressrosa Family at the moment.
"Michael, you personally handle this matter!"
"As for the Spencer Family, send someone over there and convey our strong condemnation of the Spencer Family’s assault on our Dressrosa descendants. They must pay the appropriate compensation, and since Thor Dressrosa was not harmed, let’s set it at two hundred thousand gold coins!"
Marquis Engle’s eyes glinted coldly as he spoke slowly.
"Yes!"
Michael nodded and accepted it directly.
Then his figure retreated.
He began to swiftly handle these matters.
With Marquis Engle’s declaration, the entire Xiyue Province was suddenly in turmoil.
The most important part of Marquis Engle’s declaration was not the compensation issue.
But to inform all the nobility that the Spencer Family has formed a death feud with our Dressrosa Family.
Such a declaration might have been useless at ordinary times.
After all, the Spencer Family was powerful enough.
But at this moment, the significance of this declaration is extremely significant.
The entire Spencer Family, the old Marquis perished in the Kingdom War, and the new Marquis who succeeded him fell during the attack on Thor Dressrosa, along with not only their last Sky Knight but also a large amount of elite forces.
The Spencer Family at this moment is not comparable to a powerful Marquis Family, and even inferior to some strong Count’s Clans.
And the losses from the Kingdom War are not limited to the Spencer Family alone; many Marquis Families and Count’s Clans also suffered heavy losses.
And like the Spencer Family, these families are eager to fill their deficits.
Previously, there were quite a few who had ideas about Thor Dressrosa, but ultimately, few dared to make a move.
But at this moment, the Spencer Family has become a great pie in the eyes of all families.
The Spencer Family has been passed down for over eight hundred years, having been a powerful Marquis for over four hundred years. In such a long time, the wealth the Spencer Family possesses is undoubtedly vast.
Moreover, unlike the Dressrosa Family, the Spencer Family is almost without danger at this moment.
The risks they face when making a move are almost nonexistent, and they could even appease the rising star of the Tulip Kingdom.
Particularly, many nobles in Xiyue Province have started to feel a stirring within.
And a feeling of stirring naturally turns into action.
Initially, there were just tests.
But gradually, when everyone found out that the strength of the Spencer Family was indeed gone.
Suddenly, these nobles couldn’t hold back.
First, it was the Spencer Family, with their caravans frequently being attacked.
Initially, it was just their goods being robbed, gradually turning into their personnel also being dealt with.
At the same time, various resource points of the Spencer Family also began to be attacked by bandits.
Suddenly, the entire Spencer Family became somewhat overwhelmed.
Furthermore, what worries them even more is that they seem completely powerless to solve it; they currently still have several Earth Knights, but facing a vast Marquis Territory is too challenging.
Even the Earth Knights sent out might not be able to return.
Inside the massive Spencer Castle.
Silhouettes gathered, unable to restrain the anxiety spreading across their faces.
Leading them was a young man.
Besides him, there were more than ten elders nearing eighty or ninety years old.
These are the core members of the Spencer Family at present.
With the previous Marquis Spencer taking away the elite force in one wave, the Spencer Family could only pick out the tallest among the shortlings, choosing some members who had originally been eliminated.
Yet even so.
Now the number of Earth Knights in the Spencer Family is less than five.
Previously, there were eight Earth Knights.
