"What? Someone actually dared to attack our Alben Family?" In the main house, several elders who received the news all looked at each other in disbelief.

After hundreds of years of development, the Alben Family has become one of the top aristocrats in the entire world, and even the absolute ruler of the entire western part of the world. The branches of the Alben Family have spread to nearly a hundred city-states.

Basically, even the least successful branch members can practically control nearly half of the resources of their city.

It can be said that the entire Alben Family is at the level of world aristocracy.

But now, is there actually a mere City Lord’s records daring to assault the mansion of the Alben Family?

Audacious and reckless, courting death!

They immediately passed this matter to the Patriarch through a special ceremony and arranged for personnel to go to Roland City.

At this moment in Roland City, once the war began, it could not be ended by human will. Both sides, consumed with rage, had completely lost the possibility of reconciliation. It would only stop when one side entirely turned into fragments under this wheel.

The defense line of the Alben Family had already been breached twice. Apart from the outermost sentries, the first line of defense was broken again under the merciless attack of the City Guard Army. The City Guard Army had completely occupied the outer courtyard of the Alben Family and was now fighting towards the inner courtyard.

Corpses and limbs were scattered across this once most prosperous mansion in the world. The ancient buildings, which had existed for hundreds of years, had a courtyard where just one tile was worth a thousand gold pieces, now destroyed and scattered by battle.

The men of the City Guard Army and the men of the Alben Family continued to fight at the junction of the outer and inner courtyards, with the walls gradually turning to ruins and debris amidst persistent attacks and battles.

Everywhere there were corpses, mostly those of the Alben Family, with a few from the City Guard Army. Despite the greater strength of the City Guard Army, they were no match for the Alben Family’s headquarters, where Alben family members were everywhere, intensified and motivated by the family Techniques scattered on the ground.

This led to a seesaw battle.

Despite the City Guard Army having the advantage, this advantage was temporary until reinforcements arrived. Once the Alben Family’s men returned, the situation would be completely overturned!

Thus, the City Lord was attacking like mad, and the Alben Family members were defending with all their might.

In the Alben Family’s estate, which covers thousands of acres, every courtyard control dispute left nearly a thousand corpses. Blood and flesh dyed this nobleman’s mansion completely red. Though the courtyard was lost, the Alben Family would immediately organize a counterattack and fight back.

In less than an hour, the City Lord’s brought forces were reduced to only 500, and most of the remaining ones were injured.

The Alben Family’s losses were even greater, with thousands already dead. The city was stained like a field of terror, and they could no longer hold on.

The City Lord’s eyes were about to burst. He had no way back this time; it was success or a place where he wouldn’t even have a burial!

"Kill with me! Kill all the Alben Family! Kill Patriarch Alben, and you’ll receive a reward of ten thousand gold, a thousand original beauties, and a noble surname!"

Such heavy rewards reignited the morale of the exhausted City Guard Army, while most of the Alben Family’s combat-capable members were dead or wounded, and their resistance was growing weaker.

The Alben Family saw this scene and had already prepared an escape route. They left a body double in the family, drugged the double, and hid in the escape tunnel themselves.

This time, he admitted defeat. He never expected that there really would be a fool directly attacking the family with a large army. It was also because the Alben Family had not waged war for so long that he had forgotten how to use power to seize authority.

However, the Alben Family had won. He had just received the last information: over half of the people sent to support the marriage convoy had returned and were about half an hour’s journey away.

In fact, the stronger ones among them could return in more than ten minutes, and by then he would succeed!

But could the Alben Family hold on until then?

Hard to say...

"Hurry, a little faster..." he kept urging, knowing that as long as he held on for half an hour, they would gain final victory. But in this last stretch, he knew it would also be the City Lord’s most frenzied attack.

...

On the other side, on the battlefield of the marriage convoy.

"Protect the young lady!" the Captain of the Guard roared, but now, blood had blurred his vision.

Family reinforcements had arrived, but he never expected that the family reinforcements would only number fewer than a hundred, mostly at the Elite Level, with at most a Legendary Level leading, yet these people were already surrounded by the enemy forces.

Damn it, why did the family send so few people!

His heart was full of anger and confusion. The young lady’s marriage was the most important event for the family recently, but now, they felt as if they and the young lady had been abandoned.

The Captain of the Guard did not know that the family situation was even more critical at this time. If he were in a safe situation, he might analyze the issue, but now, after a long battle and being suppressed by bows and arquebuses to the point of dying upon showing their heads, their nerves were stretched to the limit.

What was flowing in their veins was not blood anymore, it was all adrenaline.

Damn it! Where is the other support, where is the Xiao Organization?
