My portable grandfather refreshes every week

The city lord was furious. He gradually understood everything and now he fully understood the situation in the entire city of Roland.

There's no Akatsuki organization, no gang wars!
This was all a trap set by the Alban family to purge other nobles, both large and small!

Why did all the noble families suffer devastating blows, while the Alban family suffered very little?
Why did Akatsuki refuse all the offers of opportunity from other nobles?

Why is the Akatsuki organization able to produce tens of thousands of powerful warriors in just one day?

Then there is only one answer: the Akatsuki organization was a scheme orchestrated by the Alban family from beginning to end. The Alban family simply wanted to use the pretext of a gang war to completely eliminate the other nobles.

Meanwhile, Alban reaped the benefits and seized complete control of all of Roland's resources, becoming the true and unique king of Roland!

Alban, you beasts! You are all fucking beasts!

Once the city lord understood all this, he instantly grasped the logic behind it all, as well as the Alban family's entire scheme. The other nobles had assumed that, being fellow nobles, the Alban family would at most engage in petty tricks, but they never imagined that the Alban family intended to kill everyone.

At this moment, even the city lord had to admire his own extraordinary wisdom. He thought, "You, the head of the Orben family, are so cunning, but I never expected that he could see through your scheme with just a single move of his extraordinary wisdom!"

But after my extraordinary wisdom saw through you, the Olben family, I, the city lord, will tell you that power is everything!
You've only brought this on yourself!

"Pass on my orders to ambush the marriage procession, but this is just a feint. We must take advantage of the Alban family's exhaustion of resources and launch a blitzkrieg to destroy the Alban family mansion!"

The city lord looked at the map and said.

His plan was flawless. The Alban family had nurtured the Akatsuki organization, a behemoth, so their internal strength must be very weak now. If he were to attack the marriage convoy, it would inevitably cause the Alban family's strength to be scattered to provide support, making them even weaker.

However, as long as we break into the Alban family's territory at this moment, the outcome will be decided!

Then, following the Alban family's plan, I can completely occupy Roland City. After that, the leader of the Akatsuki organization will have no one else to rely on, and will have no choice but to rely on me.

Putting themselves in a do-or-die situation, they launched a full-speed raid, employing blitzkrieg tactics to directly annihilate the Alban family!

When he told his confidants about his plan, they were all shocked and full of admiration.

"Wonderful, wonderful indeed! The city lord's wisdom is beyond our reach, even if we try to match it."

"Such wisdom and strategy! If you, Lord City Lord, were to join the Praise Society, you would surely become a demigod representing wisdom and strategy!"

The city lord also felt a sense of pleasure at this moment, but his extraordinary wisdom told him that he could not let his guard down at this time. He had to kill the Alban family as quickly as possible to ensure that nothing went wrong.

What about the Albanian family's accusations later?
The Akatsuki organization attacked and killed the Alban family. What does that have to do with me, the lord of Roland City who is protecting it from the gang wars?
He was able to become the lord of Roland City because he had powerful backers. Although they were not as powerful as the main family of Orben, they were still members of the Chant of Praise and would never give up on him as a pawn who completely controlled the entire city.

And since your Alban family dares to use such insidious schemes against other nobles, I am merely giving them a taste of their own medicine. What have I done wrong?
"All my trusted men, listen to my command! Lead 800 men and march with me to the Albanian residence!"

"Fight!" the city lord roared.

"war!"

"war!"

These 800 men were his most elite confidants, pure warriors, at least near-legendary level.

It could also be said that these 800 people were his last trump card, which he was reluctant to send out even when facing the Akatsuki's attack. Although the Akatsuki had more than 100,000 hero-level members, these 800 people were not enough to fight against the Orben family.

Lord Roland wanted to show them the true power of the Eight Hundred Legends!

……

The Alban family's carriage headed towards the Akatsuki headquarters.

Inside the carriage, Belle Alban was completely bound by the spell; she could not speak, could not move, and even turning over required almost all her strength.

Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

However, no one cared about her feelings. The other escorting guards were on high alert, just as they were afraid that some fool might come out and attack the convoy. Although this was Akatsuki territory, other gangs had been destroyed, and mounds of corpses of gang members stood in the streets.

However, there's no guarantee that someone won't act out of desperation, or that it won't be an attack by the private soldiers of other noble families.

However, after traveling more than ten kilometers, there were very few people to be seen, let alone assassins. The ordinary people were all huddled in their houses, trembling and waiting for the gang war to end.

Only occasionally did members of the Akatsuki organization fly over the rooftops, and very few people would stop to check the situation. Once they discovered it was the Alban family's convoy, they would leave without interest.

Although the guards were initially worried when they saw members of the Akatsuki, they gradually relaxed after several groups ignored them.

"Sigh, gangsters are gangsters. The young lady is practically the matriarch of your gang, and she doesn't even come over to pay her respects..." someone muttered.

"Stop talking nonsense and escort the young lady along the route," the head guard said.

"Yes!"

After walking a few more kilometers, this area was completely under the control of the Akatsuki organization, and there were many bread and water distribution points along the street.

Every child received a small piece of bread, about the size of a fist; it wasn't enough to fill them up, but it ensured they wouldn't starve.

Want more bread and water? Then join the Akatsuki, and you'll have an endless supply of bread and water.

In this way, a stronghold would often need to replenish its supplies every few hours, while nearly a thousand children would be brought back to the Akatsuki organization.

The guards on this side were all speechless at the sight.

“What a waste to give this white bread to the lowly.”

"Heh, perhaps the leader of Akatsuki has gotten too cocky, but he has the right to be arrogant. After all, he might become a member of the Orburn family in the future, and even change his surname." They all showed envious expressions when they talked about this.

Their greatest wish was to change their surname to Alban.

However, after leaving this street, you will briefly enter a buffer zone of war again. This was once the territory of a nobleman, but the Akatsuki organization doesn't care about you; they will attack you if they catch you.

If you nobles are kind and gentle, these lower-class children probably won't make a move. But if they dare to make a move, what awaits them is what the nobles call a "riot".

However, their convoy always carried the banner and crest of the Alban family, so basically, the Akatsuki and other nobles wouldn't make a move; only the disrupted gangsters might cause trouble.

However, this current buffer zone is actually more peaceful than the Akatsuki-occupied areas.

"Captain, it's so quiet here. There's no sign of the Akatsuki or other gangs. It's completely different from other areas," a guard said.

“Yes, it’s probably because the Akatsuki have already wiped this place out, which is why it’s so quiet.” The head guard leaned down and chatted with the young guard.

After all, they had been walking for half a day and were starting to relax. They needed to use some topics or imprints to keep their minds focused.

"It seems that the Akatsuki organization is really strong. No wonder the head of the family has arranged a marriage with them. Judging from this, the Akatsuki alone can completely unify all the other gangs in Roland City. At that time, won't all the resources of Roland City belong to our Orben family?" The young guard smiled, very relaxed.

The head guard looked at the dilapidated Roland City and felt at ease. After all, after the young lady's marriage to the Akatsuki was completed, they would stay in the Akatsuki, firstly as the young lady's private soldiers, and secondly to assist the Akatsuki and help the young lady take control of the Akatsuki.

In other words, the Akatsuki organization will actually be under the Olben name tomorrow, so the stronger the Akatsuki organization is, the better, because the stronger they are, the more power they will have.

“We can’t even come close to the wisdom of the patriarch. This way, we have completely subdued the Akatsuki. Our hundreds of years of work since the division of the family have not been entirely useless. Now is the time to reap the rewards. Now that we have taken down the Akatsuki, we must work even harder,” the head guard said.

"Yes, we should work hard too. Maybe one day we'll even be nominally the second or third leader of the Akatsuki." The little guard smiled.

They looked at the road stretching into the distance; the Alban family would keep going forward, forward, as long as they didn't stop.

This time, it will be the opportunity for them to rise to prominence again after their separation.

"Whoosh!" The carriage suddenly appeared from the end of the street, and to the bewilderment of all the guards, countless longbows and crossbows on the carriage were suddenly pointed in their direction.

"Whoosh!" The sound of the arrow piercing the air struck a horse directly, causing all the other horses to panic.

"We are from the Alban family, who are you!" the captain of the guard roared immediately. However, the enemy did not stop after hearing their words, and arrows and crossbow bolts rained down on them.

"Protect the young lady! Take cover, take cover now!" the head guard roared.

However, it wasn't just the approaching carriage that was attacking. On the rooftops on both sides of the street, masked men immediately drew their longbows and aimed them downwards. In addition to crossbows, some people behind them also took out muskets and loaded bullets into the barrels. As the magic runes lit up, the bullets were propelled by the fire element to an initial velocity several times the speed of sound.

"Damn it, who is the enemy!" the captain of the guard roared.

A sharp-eyed person spotted the black robe with red clouds and immediately exclaimed, "Sir, it's the Akatsuki! It's the Akatsuki attacking us!"

"The Akatsuki?" The head guard was instantly dumbfounded.

This time, their caravan not only brought the eldest daughter of the Alban family, but also countless precious metals, materials, magical inscriptions, and so on as dowry.

The Orben family wouldn't allow the Akatsuki to underestimate them; the treasure in this caravan alone could bankrupt an ordinary noble family. However, since these treasures were originally intended for the Akatsuki, why would they possibly ambush them here?

Furthermore, are the members of the Akatsuki accustomed to using bows and arrows, crossbows, and muskets?
It wasn't that the head of the guard looked down on the Akatsuki; he had witnessed their battles. They usually operated in small teams of a few people, and even when they were in a group, they fought in small squads.

Each squad operates independently, relying entirely on its own strength. Moreover, they are truly powerful, with each squad typically containing a legendary figure.

Instead, they would not employ such skillful battle formations and execute arrows with such textbook precision.

"Are you private soldiers? No, your bows and arrows are standard issue, you are the city guards!" the captain of the guard roared immediately. "City guards, do you want to provoke a war between the city lord and the Alban family? You are waging war against the family of a member of the Chanting Society, this is rebellion!" the captain of the guard shouted sternly.

He wanted to use this bluff to scare off the enemy.

However, the other side seemed to have stopped pretending and said directly: "Failure is called rebellion, success is called suppression of riots!"

The city guard leader said directly, "Everyone, listen up! The Akatsuki organization is planning to attack the Alban family. The city guards are stepping forward to protect the nobles and eliminate the Akatsuki traitors. Fire arrows! Fire arrows! Die!"

Arrows rained down, and the head guard's eyes were bloodshot with rage.

He also realized that the city guards were not joking; they wanted to kill them all here and then frame the Akatsuki!

How dare they! How dare they!
The head guard knew that they were no match for the city guards and could only hold them off. The only solution now was to return to their families for reinforcements, or to ask the Chaoxiao organization for reinforcements.

However, this place is no longer under the control of the Akatsuki. They need to return to the Akatsuki's stronghold and tell the Akatsuki about the situation here. Even so, the Akatsuki consists of scattered small teams and cannot gather much support in a short time.

The real key was the support from the Alban family!
Thinking of this, the head guard immediately tore off his medal and said, "You two, one of you hurry back to your clan and request reinforcements, and the other of you hurry to the Akatsuki stronghold we just passed and request reinforcements from Akatsuki members!"

"Also, you must tell the head of the family about this!" the head guard roared.

Two guards immediately went to fetch reinforcements.

Meanwhile, everyone else began preparing for battle, determined to hold out until reinforcements arrived.

……

"It's terrible, Patriarch! It's terrible! Our convoy has been attacked and killed! It seems to be the Akatsuki!" Before the intelligence was even sent back, the Alban family's intelligence department had already noticed the anomaly and sent the information back.

"How is that possible! That convoy was originally intended for the Akatsuki. The Akatsuki leader isn't crazy. How could he possibly ambush something so easily obtained?" The head of the Alban family felt an indescribable absurdity.

He absolutely did not believe that the leader of Akatsuki was such a foolish guy. Judging from his step-by-step strategy and the fact that he expanded Akatsuki to such an extent in just one day, the leader of Akatsuki was not only not stupid, but also very shrewd.

He is actually best at dealing with intelligent people.

"How did they attack our convoy?" the Alban family asked immediately.

"The sound of bows and arrows, and the sound of muskets..."

“That’s not right. The Akatsuki doesn’t have any organized weapons like that. And even if they seized these weapons from the gang, they’re all children of prostitutes and don’t know how to use them. They mostly rely on the strength given to them by their leader for close combat!” The head of the Alban family immediately noticed the suspicious point.

With his extraordinary wisdom at work, he immediately thought of something.

"Damn it! It was the other nobles who didn't want to see the Alban family grow so powerful, so they chose to assassinate them! Damn it, I should have thought of this sooner!" The head of the Alban family immediately understood everything.

If they were to form a marriage alliance with the Akatsuki, which other noble family in Roland City wouldn't be envious?

With such a large and lucrative target, along with the entire Akatsuki organization's fighting force of tens of thousands, all swallowed up by the Orben family, wouldn't other nobles be wary?

"Whoever it is, it's definitely not Akatsuki. Send our people to support them immediately. We must protect Belle. If necessary, it doesn't matter if we lose those valuables!"

"At the same time, contact the Akatsuki organization immediately and go to support Belle!"

"Yes!"

After giving all the instructions, the head of the Alban family seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

After a long while, he wanted to sit down and rest properly. After all, he had stayed up almost all night because of the Akatsuki organization, and this morning he had also arranged his daughter's wedding. His body was already exhausted.

But for some reason, even though I wanted to rest, my hand trembled uncontrollably as I sat down and picked up the teacup.

Even his right eye started twitching uncontrollably.

Was he too tired last night? Or did the attack on the convoy make him lose his mind?
The head of the Alban family chuckled self-deprecatingly. He now finally understood what it meant for the greater the profit to come, the greater the danger behind it.

He had previously overlooked the other nobles of Roland City. These people were utterly incapable of getting things done, but they were incredibly capable of ruining things.

You should have made an exchange of benefits beforehand and kept the others at ease first.

By tomorrow, the deed will be done, and no matter how much I've given up, it will all be taken back, even with interest, to the Alban family.

Sitting at the table, the head of the Alban family finally felt that the matter should be resolved, and he could finally get some sleep.

Just as he seemed to be drifting off to sleep, suddenly, a deafening whistle and bell tolled throughout the Alban family compound. The head of the Alban family was immediately awakened and angrily asked, "What's happening now?"

"Master, something terrible has happened! Nearly a thousand people dressed in black robes with red cloud patterns have attacked the family. Our intelligence department and sentries have suffered heavy losses!"

"Damn it!" The patriarch immediately went outside and looked into the distance, where he saw an army of nearly a thousand people. Even the weakest among them had strength close to legendary level, which was very much in line with the Akatsuki's strength structure.

But suddenly, Alban saw familiar people and their familiar standard weapons.

"It wasn't the Akatsuki, it was the City Guard! Damn it, the one who really wanted to assassinate the Alban family was the City Lord! Their attack on Belle's convoy was a diversionary tactic, trying to lure our main force away from the family so they could wipe us out!"

"But who gave them the audacity to attack the Alban family? Even though our main force has left the family, we still have nearly a hundred legendary-level fighters and a large number of other combatants. As long as we defend the mansion, we will win!"

"Immediately report this message to the Akatsuki organization and the family soldiers who just went to provide support. At the same time, send a message to the main family, saying that the city lord directly sent troops to attack the Orben family, and we have decided to counterattack immediately and keep them here forever!"

"Yes!"

Soon, intelligence was transmitted out one by one. At this time, the head of the Alban family also contacted all the fighting forces still in the family and organized them to fight against the magic arrays that were spread throughout the Alban family's territory, relying on the mansion.

We will win. Just hold on for half a day, just half a day, no, even just an hour, and this attack will come to an end!

Then they can take this opportunity to kill the city lord and completely control Roland City!
……

Meanwhile, the city lord led 800 warriors to attack the Alban family. Even though he felt he had overestimated the Alban family's strength, he went all in, putting all his hidden cards on the table.

But now, he is still struggling immensely, and after only breaking through the first line of defense, he was stopped by the remaining arrangements of the Alban family.

"damn it!"

Why does the Alban family have such a strong guard force after supporting the Akatsuki organization and sending their main force to protect their daughter in a marriage alliance?

He had no way back now. He knew that once the battle started, his disguise as the Akatsuki would fall apart. The only way was to kill everyone in the Orben family, leaving no one alive.

Only in this way can we hide everything and frame the Akatsuki!

"Gentlemen, we have no way out! Charge with me! Kill!"

"kill!"

A brutal war of attrition broke out between the two noble families, with both sides giving their all in an effort to bring the conflict to a complete end.

There's no turning back for either the Alban family or the city lord; they must eliminate one of them here today.

……

Meanwhile, Xue Luding, leading two teams of more than ten people, watched this scene from afar. Both the Alban family's convoy and the Alban family's residence were under their surveillance.

"Is this what they mean by gang warfare and the sudden death of nobles?" Faust exclaimed as he looked at the scene.

Without even directly participating in the battle, he merely used the marriage alliance with the Alban family to incite a bloody fight between the city lord of Roland and the Alban family.

In fact, the Akatsuki organization didn't participate in the slightest thing from beginning to end. The two noble families were like suicidal madmen, hacking at each other like crazy, saying things like "Aiya ya ya, I'll kill you!"

Looking at Xue's Law, Faust had only one thought in his mind.

Horror!
Then he realized that this was his current ally, so it was alright.

"Boss, Miss Alban's side is about to give out," a girl from the Akatsuki organization immediately said.

"Brothers and sisters, follow me to Roland City!" Xue Dinglu immediately gave the order, mounting his warhorse. (End of Chapter)
