My Descendants Are My Power

He bowed toward the Psychic Position, "Farewell, everyone. Rest assured, I, Nicholas, will take good care of your widows and orphans. The yearly supply of Energy Stones and precious resources will exceed your salaries."

Then, under the grateful gazes of his subordinates from Blackwood, he walked to the headquarters of Dawn and personally led the charge.

"Whoever killed our people, everyone in Gratitude Village shall be punished, and I, Blackwood, am no exception!"

"Let's go!"

"Let these druids pay with their lives!"

Initially, it was just a small tribe of about a hundred people that Nicholas intended to punish, and he only called for a dozen men.

However, as he led his men out of the family estate, the group grew from a dozen to over a hundred, and then to thousands. If he hadn't stopped them, the numbers might have reached ten thousand.

"Good lad."

Ethan watched Nicholas's growing influence and gradually smiled, understanding why the ancient Primordial Tree had once said he was a qualified family head.

Now, Nicholas had adapted to his role as the family head, and thanks to him, Blackwood was united, rapidly advancing in infrastructure development.

...

Now, looking at the children heading to Crestwood Hills.

At this time, Olivia had already ventured deep into the Endless Forest, but she wasn't in Crestwood Hills.

[Harris·Joy Beast Tribe·Elder Glenn's Home]

At this moment, Olivia had once again donned the druid's attire, sitting inside the elder's house of the Joy Beast Tribe.

"Last time Olivia mentioned she had some influence among the druids, could it be the Joy Beast Tribe?"

Ethan was increasingly shocked as he spoke, not even knowing how Olivia had infiltrated their ranks.

After a while.

Ethan saw a girl in a tiger-skin coat enter the small treehouse and sit opposite Olivia.

"What's the news?" Olivia asked.

Glenn, who had a gentle appearance, was revealed by Ethan's information to be a master in the Developing Skill phase.

Glenn's head displayed the words, "I found no evidence of The Oracle Chamber collaborating with our druids. However, I know that our Harris, White, and Clark tribes are desperately seeking allies. Two tribes, seduced by promised benefits and great glory, are eager to join."

"Recently, our druid community has been peaceful, all eyes are on Cloudview County. Logically, they should be rushing here like mad. I heard that a county destroyed years ago faced an enemy ten times what Cloudview County is currently facing."

Hearing this.

Olivia frowned in thought, then gradually relaxed.

Seeing Olivia's demeanor, Glenn said seriously, "Olivia, I heard that Blackwood has made no moves. Our agreement was for you to help the Joy Beast Tribe regain its former glory as part of the larger Harris tribe. Yet, the Harris forces attacking Cloudview County haven't suffered at all."

"My people and the priests want to see results."

Olivia replied calmly, "Elder Glenn, to destroy Harris, your presence in a great battle would be enough. But what after the battle? Think about it, if the Joy Beast Tribe emerges unscathed, wouldn't that raise suspicions?"

Glenn frowned, "That's not your concern. I just want results."

"Alright."

Olivia squinted, "Help me obtain something, and I'll support you fully!"

"What is it?" Glenn's face lit up with joy.

Moments later.

Glenn left the treehouse and headed toward a cave within the Joy Beast Tribe, where a dragon swam around the tribe's ancient priest!

"Great Priest, Blackwood's Olivia has fallen into our trap!"

With these words.

The priest opened his eyes and sneered, "Foolish humans, their greed and confidence will only lead them to destruction. The lord of Azure Cloud Dawn is no different."

Glenn smiled darkly, "But before that, Olivia wants something buried under the giant rocks of the Clark Tribe."

"Hmm?"

The priest narrowed his eyes, "Now that all tribes within Crestwood Hills are searching, I shall inform the High Priest of this matter."

"Yes!"

...

Inside the house, Ethan's cards flickered.

He saw everything—the collaboration between Olivia and the Joy Beast Tribe.

Where there are beings, there are disputes, and it seemed the Joy Beast Tribe was no exception.

"Can the druids be trusted?" Ethan pondered, stroking his mouse.

In the past, he would have been thrilled to have an insider among the druids.

But now? Ethan really didn't trust others.

Look at Stephen... he seemed weak, but his schemes were unimaginably cunning, calculating even in death.

And then there was Michael, practically a centuries-old demon in disguise, his own son never realizing who he truly was.

Ethan felt that the cooperation between Olivia and the Joy Beast Tribe came a little too easily.

In Olivia's personal history, Ethan found some information.

[Your descendant Olivia came to the druids twenty years ago, coveting the fertile lands of the Endless Forest, a place rich with natural treasures and resources.]

[She constantly schemed to claim the Endless Forest for the family, where the druids could nurture the Primordial Blood Tree, enrich the Death Coffin, and assist her father in refining corpses...]

[Over the years, she meticulously planned, targeting six tribes in distress.]

[She would injure key members of these tribes, then heal them and send them back as a crude pretext to establish relations with the druids.]

[Even if discovered, it didn't matter; she was giving these downtrodden druids opportunities while also testing the intelligence of these tribes...]

Ethan, who was drinking water, almost spat it out.

"I thought it was a druid invasion, but wow, you've been scheming for over twenty years."

"Were you planning to invade the druids sooner or later if they didn't come to you?"

At that moment, Ethan seemed to understand; the Blackwoods had always been invaders...

If none of the past events had happened, in a few decades, it might be a different story.

Olivia seemed even more terrifying and ambitious than Stephen and Michael.

The only difference was that the thoughts of the previous generations of Blackwoods became the collective mindset of any family member.

Just like now.

The family wanted the supernatural item buried under Crestwood Hills, and all four children were coming to find it, with the family preparing in the background.
