Chapter 323 Blood Race (4000)(1/2)
It was obvious that Austin also understood the other party's intentions, so after hearing that the other party tried to help, he refused mercilessly.
Because he understood very well that it was not a kind help, but a rope that dragged him into the mud.
However, despite saying so, Austin did not refuse at all. He restrained his sneer on his face, thought for a moment, and replied cautiously, "Uncle Acheson, keep in touch with them, don't agree, but don't be too stiff, so that they feel hopeless."
"Young Master, I understand." As soon as the silver-haired Acheson heard Austin say this, he knew what he thought, and immediately agreed with a smile.
It is obvious that although they disliked and even hated these two families, they wanted to uproot them.
But people always have to consider reality. Their current strength and situation determine that things cannot develop as they think.
Even though they were so resentful about the other party’s proposal, they had to give themselves enough buffering time.
"Uncle Acheson, how many people are there in the family?"
After explaining the previous incident, Austin mentioned the most critical point, looking a little expectant but a little afraid of hearing bad news.
Acheson's originally smiling face first paused, then looked at Austin instinctively, and wanted to speak but stopped.
Seeing this scene, Austin had already guessed in his heart, and a bitterness appeared in his mouth, but his expression was still calm, and he said calmly: "Uncle Acheson, just say it, I can accept it."
Seeing this, Acheson sighed, and then said with fear of fatigue: "Young Master, in the family today, except for Abbott who is not exposed and still insisting, the other old brothers are dead and fleeing."
"Even if I included me, there were only five old brothers who followed the master at the beginning."
Austin's expression did not change, but his hands were tightly clasped, and his neatly trimmed nails seemed to be embedded in the flesh, dripping red blood beads.
Although he has maintained the collection of information about Dilno and the Augustus family for the past eight years.
But Austin was eventually deported and chased thousands of miles to the north, and was like a prodigal dog fled to the north.
His power foundation and his basic foundation are all in the city of Gria, and they are rebuilt in the northernmost main city of the empire.
The information he received about the city of Dirno and the Augustus family was often obtained from the old men who followed his father.
These old men often report good news but not bad news, although they will inform him truthfully about the situation of the Augustus family, so that he can understand the family's movements and the work of his enemy.
But they were not willing to Austin come to Dilno City rashly without the general situation and sacrifice his life for nothing.
Therefore, Austin had never stopped his understanding of Dilno City's family, but he did not know much about his own people's situation.
Until now, until now, after hearing the situation and current situation of these people, Austin understands how much pain they have endured and how much suffering they have suffered over the years.
How can this not make him heartbroken, and how can it not make him moved?
Allen felt Austin's surging emotions beside him, and did not try to comfort him. He just sighed secretly and took over the conversation.
"Uncle Atcheson, Austin had roughly told me about the situation here before coming. Why has the power of our side declining to this extent?"
"After all, Dalton was seized and promoted to power, and it was not right. He could mobilize the family power and the means he could use should be very few!"
Hearing Allen's comments, Acheson's face looked even more bitter.
"You are right. Although Acheson successfully took office, he did not have real power. After all, although the master went there, we are still there."
"But he took advantage of the opportunity to drive the young master out of Dilno City, and divided our strength and used foreign aid to clean up our series of trends."
"We originally thought that after the power seizure was completed, he should be lurking for a while, seize the time to gather all his strength, and then deal with us on his left hand."
"But the result is that we underestimated his ruthlessness and his determination."
"He would rather risk the price of unstable foundation and family collapse, and defeat our forces as soon as possible, and then gather them together to take power alone."
Acheson's head was slightly lowered, and Alan and the others couldn't see his expression clearly, but they could hear that his tone seemed a little unwilling, and they seemed to sigh that he was not as skilled as others.
Allen listened very carefully every word, wanting to learn the facts from Acheson's words and find more useful information.
While listening, he nodded and had a more three-dimensional understanding of Dalton, Austin's nominal second uncle.
Originally, he just felt that Dalton was cruel and ruthless. In order to do whatever he could, even his elder brother and nephew who were connected with him could do his best and kill them.
In his opinion, Dalton must be an ambitious man with a strong desire for power.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken action directly when Deers Augustus died, or in other words, Deers' death might be his fault.
But after listening to Acheson's explanation, he learned more about Dalton.
It is true that his impression of Dalton was true, but it was too thin.
I only know that the other party is cruel and has extraordinary means, but it is just a vague concept and has no specific impression.
After Acheson's supplement and detailed understanding of the relevant matters, Allen knew better about this enemy who was regarded as a life-and-death enemy by Austin, and better understood the other party's horror.
But at the same time, he was more cautious.
After all, being able to do such a series of things and firmly grasp the eight-year power of a Count family, and being worried about internal and external troubles, with the storm, also surviving the difficulties with iron-blooded skills and pushing the Augustus family to continue to become stronger is not a good thing to solve.
Indeed, they have a huge advantage in high-end combat power.
But you should know that this is not a decisive force. As long as you still live in society, you will inevitably be subject to constraints and constraints. This has nothing to do with strength, but with the system.
Just as Allen was more afraid of Dalton and constantly increased the level of danger in his heart, Acheson's story continued.
"At the beginning, although we were caught off guard by him, we responded quickly after the loss."
"After all, you can understand that in the era when the master was in charge of the family, even if Dalton had a second heart, he would not be able to cultivate many of his own people."
"In this way, we fought with Dalton's group with the master Yu Ze and his backup."
"It can even be said that in many cases, we are in the upper hand, and we are only a little bit more able to completely overwhelm the other party and make things right."
A curious color appeared in Allen's eyes, and his sitting posture, which seemed to be listening to the elder's teachings, could not help but change.
He raised his head and looked straight at Acheson, whose eyes were a little erratic in his memories, and patiently waited for the arrival of key information.
After all, whether from the context and tone of the speech, from the development of the story, or from the established facts, what Acheson wants to talk about next is why they ended up like this.
"At that time, everyone thought that the family would fall into a long division, stalemate, enter a dilemma, fall into a quagmire that cannot be escaped."
"But..." Acheson suddenly said with gritted teeth, "But he didn't expect that Dalton would use external forces to break the disputes within the family."
Listening to Acheson's resentful and extremely unwilling tone, Allen couldn't help but sigh.
No matter what he said, he didn't know whether the Achesons were too naive, or whether they valued family rules or the unspoken rules among the nobles too seriously.
So much so that they missed one move again and again.
Since Dalton can kill his brother and nephew and take the risk of family collapse to gain power, then the other party cannot be the kind of person who is good to meet.
You want to use Yu Ze and his connections to compete with each other, stabilize the family situation and leave enough family background for Austin.
But the other party may not necessarily follow the path you hope for, nor can it make any tacit agreements.
Such ruthless people have already done so many disasters that are almost angered by heaven. Can he stop? Or, is it still time to stop?
You want to play games with each other within the framework, but the other party directly lifted the chessboard.
It's really...
Alan sighed silently in his heart, glanced at Acheson, but didn't know what to say.
Although he had never met Austin's father, from his introduction and the stories of Mr. Derria and Ms. Kelly, he probably understood what kind of extraordinary character it was.
How could it be easier to develop the Augustus family even more powerful under the joint suppression of the two families of Tilros and Chris?
Although he ended up dying young after one move in the end, it did not damage the opponent's wisdom and strength.
After all, if it weren't for feeling the personal threat, the two families wouldn't have been so anxious, risking the basic bottom line of the nobles and using assassination to deal with Deers.
So, before, Allen always felt that since Austin's father was so extraordinary, his old brothers should be not bad either.
At least, it would not have been beaten and defeated after Deers Augustus died, and the great situation was lost.
However, Allen just sighed in his heart, and it wouldn't really be embarrassed to put it on the surface without opening his eyes.
After all, as long as these people who have experienced it know what the inside story was, what the situation was, their external environment and internal factors at that time, and what the other party’s psychological state was.
If he has a clear view from the overall perspective afterwards, he can naturally comment on the mistakes and omissions without being hurting when talking, but if he is in that situation, he will probably not be able to get better.
Most people in this world are hindsight, and the few who can stand in the trend and make the right choices will always be the few.
In my heart, Alan's attention was also put on Acheson again and began to listen.
"At the beginning, it was a peace talk, but I didn't expect that Dalton's real purpose was to catch us all in one go."
"After the meeting began, we directly led a team of mixed blood clans and human supernatural people to the field, and started to kill in the family."
After hearing this, Austin and Boll did not respond, and they still looked quiet and listened, but Allen's pupils shrank, as if they had heard something extremely shocked.
"Wait, Uncle Acheson, do you mean the blood clan?"
Alan stared at the silver-haired Acheson, and his tone couldn't help but lift up, with a surprised ending sound.
At this time, Austin and Bol also reacted, as if they had encountered an attack on the train before, there was a blood clan among them.
"Yes."
At this time, Acheson did not realize the point. Although he was a little confused about Allen's question, he nodded seriously.
"Then, do you know which force should be that can mobilize or communicate with the blood clan?"
Allen slowly restrained his turbulent mood, returned to his previous state of calm, and asked in a deep voice.
"Although there is no tangible evidence, the Tilros family should be related to the blood clan."
