Chapter 548: The End of Screaming Island

Screaming Island, this is the place where the Fleming Family rose to power.

As the grandson of Count Aifangsuo, Fakunduo naturally took over the family's affairs after his grandfather went missing and his father died in the Jinyu Palace.

"What should I do?"

He paced back and forth in the castle hall, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Although he did not go to Jinyu City, he knew about many things.

This noble assembly not only passed judgment on Crown Prince Jialete but also on the Feilunsi Family, the Vila Family, and the Fleming Family.

Unsurprisingly, the Fleming Family had been stripped of their noble titles and fiefs; if nothing went wrong, war would soon descend upon Screaming Island.

"Luoning!"

He could not help but recall the time a few years ago when he, Sally, Cross, and Harrington bullied Luoning at the Jinyu Palace.

At that time, they only felt that Luoning was a bit strong, but not yet to the point where he could not be dealt with.

Yet, only a few years had passed, and the other party had already become a monster they could neither reach nor match.

Now, let alone picking up a sword to attack Luoning, he did not even have the courage to stand in front of him.

Legendary, this was an existence that made him, and even the entire family, tremble.

"Sally has already died in Yueguang Valley, and Cross and Harrington will likely follow in her footsteps soon; could it be that the fate of the four of us is truly so similar?"

Once upon a time, their fathers or grandfathers—the rulers of Screaming Island, Yueguang Valley, the Feilunsibao Principality, and the Vila Principality—had thought about uniting to weaken Bruno's authority.

Never did they expect that now, one after another, they would be heading to hell.

"What should be done?"

The Feilunsibao Principality and the Vila Principality had contact with the Telixiya Kingdom and could seek asylum from an enemy nation at this time.

But his Screaming Island could be said to be in the heart of the Auduin Kingdom; except for the waterway that went east around the Screaming Sea and then south, all other directions were occupied by the kingdom's nobles.

The Telixiya Kingdom would not travel thousands of miles across the sea to support the Fleming Family.

"Hoo!"

A gust of wind carrying the heavy scent of the sea blew into the hall, and just as Fakunduo was at a loss for what to do, a white-haired old man appeared before him.

Although this person was old, he was full of vigor, especially when he landed, as he had huge wings folded on his back; judging by his form, he was clearly a remnant left behind by Selandier.

Wind Messengers were not like Witch Soul Knights and would not perish because of Selandier's death.

Mailun had gone out over these years to look for opportunities to break through, but he had never gained anything.

He originally thought his aptitude had reached its limit and he would be unable to advance an inch for the rest of his life, but he never expected to meet Selandier over a year ago.

The power of the Storm Heart not only gave him the ability to fly freely but also raised the possibility of his breakthrough.

And so, not long ago, he had the good fortune to become a Magus; he originally thought he would return to celebrate, but he never expected to experience the white-haired sending off the black-haired.

"Grandfather!"

Fakunduo was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed: "You have finally returned!"

He could not help but run to his side, excitedly recounting all the hardships the family was facing, especially emphasizing that his father, Mailun, had been killed by Luoning.

It was a pity that his grandfather, Aifangsuo, who had broken through to become a Magus, was also no match for Luoning.

"I already know about your father's affairs. Now there is only one path before us, child. Pack up and leave with me!"

"Leave?"

Fakunduo stepped back in astonishment, his face turning pale.

He could not accept such an outcome.

But when he carefully pondered the words his grandfather Aifangsuo had just spoken, he had to admit that this was the only way out.

Screaming Island was located in the heart of the kingdom, and now that they had been convicted, it was possible that the nobles from all directions would surround and annihilate them; even if the Fleming Family had the reputation of being the "Overlord of the Screaming Sea," they still could not hold out.

"Where to?"

He asked, his voice trembling, "If we leave like this, our family will have nothing left!"

A flash of angry light crossed Aifangsuo's eyes, but when he looked at Fakunduo, it was replaced by a bit of pity.

"As long as we are alive, there is still hope!"

He said firmly: "King Tailuo of Telixiya has already promised me that he is willing to give me land similar to Screaming Island as my fief! As long as we are alive, we can develop sooner or later!"

Fakunduo nodded; although his heart was filled with reluctance, he understood that this was for the survival of the family and himself.

He began to direct the servants to pack their luggage, preparing to leave this Screaming Island where they had once been glorious.

As night fell, Fakunduo and Count Aifangsuo led the family's elites to board several fast ships.

They took advantage of the night to quietly leave Screaming Island and disappeared into the vast sea.

It was just that they left in a hurry and did not have time to cover their tracks carefully.

At the port of Screaming Island, a man dressed as a sailor pulled at the black sailor's hat on his head, "I must tell the Viscount immediately."

Jiliu Island.

Aierlong arrived here under the escort of Kaierluosi and conveyed Luoning's orders to the young Governor before him.

Upon learning of Luoning's orders, Kalada could not help but laugh excitedly.

Finally, Jiliu Island had also ushered in its own war.

Ever since following Luoning, he had heard that Maiken, Ruidar, and others had been fighting, but Jiliu Island had always been developing.

In the past two years, relying on the industries of Jiliu Island and using Luoning's name, he had attracted many Professional Knights from Niujiao Bay who had ordinary backgrounds but possessed a certain level of strength.

Now, the naval forces on Jiliu Island not only had two full Knight Orders, but they had also added ten warships!

The soldiers had long been tired of daily training, and whenever news of victory from the Duke arrived, they would clamor about when it would be their turn to fight.

Now, the opportunity had come!

"Lusen, go and summon all the captains to the port hall; tell them I have combat orders to announce!"

"Very well, Governor!"

Kalada gazed at the sea surface full of anticipation, his eyes seemingly able to reach straight to Screaming Island.

The sudden upheaval in Wangdu had a massive impact, but as a follower of Luoning, Kalada realized this was an unprecedentedly huge opportunity; as long as he grasped it firmly, he would surely be able to change his destiny.

"Lord Aierlong, I will go attend to my business first."

Kalada said respectfully, "It is time for Partridge to demonstrate his value!"

In the previous war, the Viscount of Crescent Island was captured and turned, and Kalada decided that in this war against Screaming Island, he would have the other party defect at the most appropriate moment to achieve the greatest effect.

Aierlong nodded in response, "Go ahead, I will be at the Dream Dew Flower manor for the next two days; just have someone notify me when it is time to depart."

For this war against Screaming Island, Kalada was the commander, but Aierlong and Kaierluosi would also accompany him to deal with the Magic Cannons of Screaming Island and Count Aifangsuo, who had yet to show his hand.

"Since you and the dragon have both arrived, it is time for me to withdraw."

Beiluola had received instructions from Luoning and had been assisting here for a while, but it was a pity the enemy had not come, and she had waited in vain for these days.

"Please feel free, Lord Count."

Aierlong bowed slightly, "I have troubled you lately!"

Beiluola laughed, "What trouble is this? It is just a pity that Luoning gave me a few Dragon Scales for nothing."

He currently wanted very much to return to the cave in Wubei Territory to continue his Magic research, but after hearing of the sudden upheaval in Wangdu, as the lord of the Amethyst Count Territory, he still needed to return to his territory to guide his great-grandson Landeer on the direction of his next actions.

Actually, it was very simple, nothing more than the phrase, "Follow Luoning and you will have meat to eat." (End of chapter)
