Guild Wars

Chapter 1161 The Start of It All - End

"Dogs of the Lucifer Lineage, come out and roll under our crotches!"

A vile and perverse shout filled the hinterlands of Florence, where the humongous estate of the Lucifer Lineage existed. This time, any member who was part of this lineage and was present at home could hear this provocative cry, and for the Lucifer lineage folks who only caused others trouble, this was akin to watching their parents be killed in front of them.

With bloodshot eyes, youths, adults, and elders rushed out of the estate like bullets, their faces filled with fury and the intent to commit murder. However, they soon paled when they saw the huge gathering of foes before them.

"How… how is this possible? How did so many enemies arrive so close to our home without us noticing?" Elder Valentina muttered with shock and dismay.

What was going on with the clan nowadays? Had they deteriorated so much that even basic safety and surveillance had become a non-issue for them?

Many of the arrayed elders and members of the clan thought so, but when they tried to recall who usually handled this, they realized that it was usually Dominic who was in charge of this.

The members who did not know better chastised Dominic in their hearts for his negligence, but the actual elders felt their hearts go cold when they realized what a blunder they had made.

They had kicked their watchman out of his post and had not even filled the gap in with someone else. These were already tense times with each clan nurturing ideas with their prodigies being born, another war seeming to be planned for when they grew.

Who would have thought that the unscrupulous Pangu Lineage would strike first? And so early too, when nothing had been set in stone yet?

After all, they should still be reeling after the beating they got during World War 2 about a century ago. Where did they get the audacity and the guts to strike now and what prompted this?

In the lead of the Pangu forces was Ao Lingtian, the father of Shangtian. He was currently the clan leader after a violent coup had occurred in their clan, and right after cleaning it up, he had gathered what forces he could muster over here to attack.

"Hahaha, Lucifer dogs, why are you glaring at us like that? Why not call all the beauties within your clan out for us to let them sniff our behinds and we might consider canceling this attack.... Pff, hahaha!"

Lingtian didn't even finish his derogatory words when he burst into laughter, all of the Pangu Lineage warriors with him laughing rampantly as well. They couldn't help it, as they truly found it amusing that they could actually get this far without being stopped.

If one knew the kind of plans and contingencies they had cooked up to get here, all of which were useless due to laziness or negligence, how could they not laugh?

"Enough! Lingtian, state your purpose immediately!" Elder Martino shouted angrily, unable to take the laughter anymore.

Suddenly, the laughter of the Pangu lineage cut as their faces became serious. Like a predator, Lingtian's eyes scoured over those who came to meet them, and he couldn't help but smirk.

"In the past, our battles were grand, weren't they? Each lineage could bring about 1000 combat-capable members and have countless sub-humans fight for us."

He then waved to both sides with a hint of amusement. "Now though, even gathering a hundred people requires us to go all out. Since both parties have few capable fighters in this generation, let's make this short and sweet."

"Right now, it is a fact that our lineages are enemies, that is immutable. For the longest time, we have been in a carefully maintained stalemate, this is something even the dogs in our lineages know."

"As much as we hate each other, we are the only ones of our kind left, especially since our progenitors have left the planet. It is unethical and frankly unwise to exterminate each other because of the progenitor of the exterminated clan returns, who will bear their wrath?"

Lingtian's words elicited secret nods from most of the knowledgeable Lucifer lineage members. There were many times in history where one clan could annihilate another, but none ever went that far no matter the grievances.

Like the current Lucifer Lineage, even with their diminished power, could launch a sudden attack on the Morrigan, Anaisi, or Ilah lineages and completely wipe them out from the face of the earth.

"However, there is a purpose to our fighting, isn't there? We all know the endgame is basically to enslave and humiliate the losing party till the end of time, rearing them like cattle while beating them daily with words and fists."

Lingtian pointed to the elders in the sky. "You lot would do it to us, and we will surely do it to you if we get the chance. Since you don't want that fate to befall you, it is natural that we don't want that fate to befall us either, right?"

At this time, Fyre stood out with a cold look on her face. "Shitdog Lingtian, hurry and get on with what you want to say so I can start killing the lot of you."

Lingtian's eyes roved over Fyre and he licked his lips. "I don't have your time right now Fyre, otherwise I would coax you into letting me have a round with those huge tits."

Before Fyre could explode from anger, Lingtian ignored her and continued with his speech. "Well, in the pursuance of freedom, we have noticed a certain problem. Our three lineages have given birth to prodigies unlike anything we've seen before with bloodlines reaching near perfection."

"But that's the problem, there are three of them and two of them belong to you guys while one belongs to us. While I would like to boast and claim that our single prodigy could beat the two of yours, I am not in the mood to play the fool."

"So we are here to do two things. Either we level the playing field or we end it all here a now. Rather than wait for 15 to 20 years for the prodigies to mature and our fates to be sealed as slaves of yours, we would rather take a gamble now and settle everything."

Lingtian's words caused the faces of everyone to change as they deeply understood his meaning. The elders had flickers of frustration in their eyes as they hoped to act innocent and ignorant until the prodigies grew up before finally carving up the Pangu lineage for themselves.

However, they understood that they had underestimated the Pangu lineage too much for this to work. Fyre especially was cold as this concerned her nephew who was still a baby, so her fury began to grow.

"And so what? What do you even want Lingtian? And should you even be the one to talk? Where is your patriarch, Litian?" Fyre asked, taking the lead in this matter.

Hearing Litian's name, a flicker of guilt passed through Lingtian's eyes that was quickly suppressed. "You don't need to worry about my elder cousin, he has abdicated his position to me since the prodigy was of my loins."

This surprised everyone, but they took it as fact because if Dominic had

been the one to give birth to the prodigy, it would also be difficult for Dante to keep the position as clan head.

"And as for what we want, it's fair. Like I said, we either level the playing field or we fight to the death here and now to end everything. So simply eliminate one of the prodigies from your two clans, the Lucifer and Amaterasu, and we'll be fine." Lingtian stated his terms while eyeing Fyre.

"You must be stupid if you think we are actually going to sacrifice a prodigy of our lineages because of you." Fyre sneered and said.

"Hehe, don't be so quick to reply Fyre, this is not your decision alone to make, have you consulted the elders behind you?" Lingtian stated insidiously with a chuckle.

However, Lingtian's face became cold when Fyre's expression shifted to one of mockery, the elders behind her shaking their heads with disdain. Did Lingtian think such cheap tactics to divide them would work?

Dominic could achieve something like that because he was part of the clan and understood the weaknesses within, but the entire clan hated the Pangu lineage more than they feared for their lives or well-being.

Lingtian trying this was basically throwing a cube of sugar into a river of water, it dissolved into nothing. Lingtian himself could see this from their expression and felt his heart sink. He truly hoped for an easy resolution because no one could guarantee who would win in an all-out battle, but it was unavailable now.

His eyes flickered with cruelty when he thought of his hidden trump card that he had prepared all this time. It seems that victory or failure would be decided by it!
