Chapter 933: Showdown in Lionheart City (Part 2)

Under Lei Xiao's signal, the four elders, including Ke En, who had just secretly assembled from various places in the inner city, took a deep breath slowly, preparing to confront Han Shui head-on, publicly describing the pain that Han Shui had caused them. Cruel facts.

No matter what, secretly assassinating the elders of the clan is always an extremely bad act.

This is the core content of Lei Xiao's second plan, which is to reduce Han Shui's reputation in the clan, laying the foundation for the next move to remove Han Shui from the throne of Patriarch.

Through the secret conversation in the hidden castle before, after listening to the advice of Keen, Leslie and others, Lei Xiao clearly understood.

Even though he has the support of six elders and holds the majority votes of the elders, even if Han Shui is eliminated and Lin is forced to become the Patriarch, it will be difficult to completely control the entire Shanglu army in a short period of time.

After all, there are still neutral clansmen, who also account for a large proportion of the army. Only those who have completely won the support of this part of the clan, plus the supporters and collateral members of Keane and others.

Only by myself can I have the confidence to forcefully suppress the dogs of Hanshui, otherwise the opponent will inevitably stir up trouble and sow discord in the middle.

Once the merchant land army is divided into two factions to restrain each other, the Lancaster family and the Yorkman family will surely step in and suppress the merchant land family army as quickly as possible.

At that time, I will be empty for fetching water from a bamboo basket.

Therefore, the core of my second plan is to reduce Hanshui's prestige among the clan, make it more natural for Lin to be in the top position, and gain the support of more Shanglu people.

"Through the descriptions of Keen and others, I have learned that Han Shui has spared no effort for the development of the family on the surface over the years, but in fact, he secretly supports his cronies to occupy important positions in the family and grabs a lot of benefits. En and the others desperately want to resist the direct cause of each other."

"Because the cold water has trampled on the long-standing creed of the Shanglu family, that is the family motto that is as fair as a scale."

"As for the two neutral elders, Aiwen and Bazel, who are jumping left and right, they are well aware of all this, but they are more tactful in handling things. Not only did they not lose, but they also gained a lot of benefits."

"However, because Han Shui does everything without revealing anything, everything seems to be so smooth and orderly, so although Keen and others are struggling to contend with them, they are not fully recognized by the neutral people. Most of the time, they are only considered as Ordinary factional strife."

"And this time, Han Shui took the initiative to kill the killer, which is an excellent opportunity. Even if it is the head of the clan, it is a heinous thing to extend his murderous hands to the respected elders in the clan."

"By taking advantage of this incident, and the fact that Hanshui has been trampling on the fairness within the clan, it will be more logical for me to remove Hanshui from the throne of Patriarch, and it will be easier to gain the support of those neutral clansmen."

Thinking of this in his heart, Lei Xiao slightly raised his eyebrows.

The most simple and direct way to achieve this is naturally to let Kean and the other four who are still alive take the initiative to confront Han Shui.

Of course, if it was placed before, the elders such as Keen would never have the courage, but with their own support behind them, everything will be completely different.

However, just as Lei Xiao had given the order, Ke En and the four elders who had just rushed over were about to show up.

On the open-air balcony of the Patriarch's castle, Han Shui's calm face suddenly froze, obviously because he had received some news.

At the same time, the awe-inspiring voice of the ice demon Garth who stayed behind in the hidden castle came through the words.

"My lord, the other party has discovered that the hidden castle has not been destroyed, and they are attacking the city with all their strength!"

Lei Xiao just heard this, saw Han Shui's complexion gloomy, and said first: "Everyone, before officially chasing and killing Princess Ariel and that despicable guest, this Patriarch might as well tell you one more thing, that is, the respected foundation En and other four elders have rebelled against the family and secretly joined Princess Ariel's camp!"

"What?! Keen and the other elders turned out to be rebellious?"

Thomas's wrinkled old face was full of shock, and he blurted out: "My lord, is this the reason why you ordered the killing of Keen and others yesterday?"

"That's right, they betrayed the interests of the Shanglu family and secretly deployed an explosive magic circle in the city, putting everyone present in a dangerous situation. It is because of their help that Ariel and others can appear here so easily !"

"And it's a pity that these cunning guys used cover-ups to hide the exploded castle yesterday, which means that they are still living in this city!"

Han Shui's voice was a bit high-pitched, and he said coldly: "My Patriarch announced that the four of Keen's group are also public enemies of the family. No matter how smooth their words are, they are just excuses!"

As soon as Han Shui said this, the audience was in an uproar again.

The hundreds of members of the Shanglu family in the courtyard were all surprised and unbelievable.

But only for a moment, Hanshui's supporters started yelling again, trying to win over the neutral people and the cronies of Keen and others.

However, the neutral people headed by Thomas, as well as the cronies of Keane and others, were still full of astonishment.

If things are really as Han Shui said, then everything can be explained.

It is reasonable for Han Shui to kill Keen and others in order to protect the family.

Thinking of this in their hearts, not only the neutral clansmen, but even Thomas, who had been questioning Hanshui, was full of doubts on his old face.

Even if it is him, it is impossible to judge whether Keen and others have really rebelled, but judging from Han Shui's swearing expression, I am afraid that they are almost inseparable.

Among the astonished crowd, only the close friends of Keane and others still couldn't believe all this.

However, because their number was too small, they didn't dare to refute on the surface, so they had to quietly retreat to the side with a look of bewilderment.

"As expected of Han Shui, he is indeed an extremely cunning fellow."

Seeing that Han Shui did not change his face and found a high-sounding reason for yesterday's evil deeds, and even pressed it on the top of his own head, Lei Xiao frowned.

Although he was a step late on his side and did not expose Han Shui's evil deeds first, judging from Han Shui's cunning behavior, even if Keen and others came forward first, they would still be labeled as family traitors by Han Shui.

In addition, Lian, the only combat puppet in the subordinate team who could not be detected by any detection barrier and other detection methods, had sneaked into the courtyard secretly just now, and confirmed that the cold water on the open-air balcony was indeed just A phantom, not the real body.

This means that, just as Keane said, the real Hanshui really hid in the patriarch's castle with many traps, manipulating everything in a safe place.

"However, this is not a bad thing. A late strike may be more effective than a preemptive strike. At least it will not make Keen and other elders at a loss."

Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Thomas and the others who were still suspicious in the courtyard, and decisively informed Keen and other elders, and continued to act according to the predetermined plan.

As long as Keen and other elders come forward to refute, Han Shui's plot will not succeed. After all, the reputation and character of Keen and other elders are still well known in the Shanglu family.

"Han Shui, you attribute the innocent me to the family rebels, such an act of the villain to sue first, I am afraid that it is not in line with your status as the head of the family, right?"

An old and dignified voice sounded. After Erza's illusion disguise was removed, the four elders including Keen appeared at the main entrance of the owner's castle courtyard with awe-inspiring faces.

Seeing the intact figures of the four elders including Ke En, the small group of cronies immediately rejoiced.

And Hanshui's supporters were full of disdain, obviously considering the four of them as rebels of the family.

As for the neutral people caught between the two, they all showed hesitation, still not sure who was the one who did all the evil.

"Han Shui, the four of us gave everything for the family wholeheartedly, but you actually killed us in an attempt to put us to death. At that time, you will be able to monopolize the power of the family."

Keane's old voice was resonant, and he shouted coldly: "This is a long-planned and cunning conspiracy, so what does it have to do with Her Royal Highness Ariel who has just arrived?"

"As the head of the family, you not only ignored the family rules repeatedly, attempted to murder us elders, but also extended your murderous hand to His Royal Highness Ariel. Such crazy actions will only lead the Shanglu family to destruction!"

"For your own ambition, you actually led the whole family to the brink of destruction, and coveted this vast land together with other ambitious second big families. Don't you know that the result of dancing with wolves is the only way to catch fire?"

Keane's words became louder and louder, his old eyes fixed on Hanshui on the castle's open-air balcony, and asked, "Hanshui, you are not worthy to be the head of the Shanglu family at all!"

Hearing Keane's words, the neutral Thomas and the others looked at Hanshui for a while, and then at Keen for a while, trying to find a clue from the expressions on both sides, but in the end they found nothing.

However, due to the appearance of Keane and others, some neutral people who originally favored Hanshui became vacillating again.

"The despicable rebels actually delivered themselves to the door."

Facing Keen's questioning, Hanshui Phantom's eyes were still indifferent even though there was a flash of astonishment.

Han Shui, who has a keen mind, has already seen from the two points that Keen and others dared to show up here and the respectful name Ariel, these four damn old guys have indeed joined the camp of that despicable outsider!

Thinking of this, Han Shui didn't argue with Keen and the others, but said with murderous intent: "Then go die!"

After the cold water was finished, the main entrance of the courtyard was suddenly turbulent, and the space was shaken.

Countless ice arrows exuding a piercing aura had condensed into shape out of thin air, shooting towards Kean and the others from all directions.

For a moment, the overwhelming ice arrows were like a violent storm. There were at least tens of thousands of them on a huge scale, causing the surrounding cold to rise, the ground to frost quickly, and the temperature to drop suddenly.

These ice arrows were formed almost instantaneously, and their speed was extremely fast. There was no time for the four of Keen to react at all, and all the escape routes were blocked.

Seeing this murderous scene, Thomas and the others in the courtyard held their breath, with serious expressions on their faces.

This is obviously a preset attack magic trap in the owner's castle. Even though Kean and the others are all fourth-tier powerhouses, this magic trap against legion-level targets is enough to easily bury the four of them in ice!

Just as Thomas and the others thought of this, the ear-piercing sound of "swish swish swish" sounded.

Keane and the others, who had no time to react, were immediately covered by countless ice arrows.

As far as the eye can see, only a large amount of ice slag can be seen, constantly splashing out, and the momentum can be described as extremely astonishing.

"Hey, these old fellows like Kean are bound to die now."

Thomas' old eyes were full of regret, and he shook his head helplessly.

As for the cronies of Keane and the others, their hope turned into despair in an instant, and some of them even sat on the ground paralyzed.

As for those dog legs who supported Han Shui, they had already cheered and started to praise Han Shui's stinky feet.

However, the insolent smiles came to an abrupt end before the dog legs held on for a long time.

When the Frostbolt's attack gradually extinguished and the rising cold air gradually dissipated, everyone was surprised to find out.

The old bodies of Kean and the other four people are still firm, and in front of the four people, there is another strong man in white armor standing proudly.

With a wave of the strong white armor, he lifted the energy barriers surrounding himself and the four elders. The colorful and rich white armor on his body glistened under the sunlight.

Needless to say, the one who appeared in front of everyone was the white knight who had just changed into a full set of fifth-tier town state-level equipment.

"I'm afraid it won't be that easy to eliminate Keen and the others."

Looking at the dumb and frozen laughter on the faces of the cold water dog legs, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows lightly.

These four elders are the most important thing in controlling the Shanglu family, so I naturally won't let them suffer any harm.

"It's actually a white knight?!"

Seeing the figure of the white knight, Thomas and the others showed surprise again.

It has to be said that this country-level strongman who is loyal to the Lengyan royal family is indeed extraordinary.

Just as the audience was shocked by the appearance of the white knight, Han Shui's calm voice sounded again.

"The White Knight has already joined Princess Ariel's camp on the previous battlefield, and the answer to why it appears here is self-evident."

"This is the best evidence that Kean and others have rebelled against the family and are collaborating with Princess Ariel!"

Han Shui's voice became more and more fierce, obviously attracting the top experts under Lei Xiao's command to appear, which was the real purpose of his attack just now.

"Kean, no matter what you say, it won't help."

Han Shui smiled coldly, and immediately waved his hand and said: "Soldiers of the Shanglu family, now that everything is proven, it is the best opportunity to get rid of Keen and other rebels!"

"As long as any one of them is killed, it is tantamount to making great contributions to the family and becoming the new elder of the family!"

As soon as Han Shui's words came out, even those neutral clansmen sank their minds and began to move around.
