My Descendants Are My Power

Chapter 270 Cloudview County's Last Hope

Time slowly passed, from early autumn to late autumn. Weeds grew rampant in Border town, and dead leaves fell in the Endless Forest, rustling as they descended.

Since the White family's forces arrived, three months have passed. More and more Druids have been coming to Cloudview County. Yet, without exception, none have crossed from Border town into Cloudview County. They all choose to stay outside Border town, not daring to enter Cloudview County from any other direction.

Nathan's Competent Force was on patrol, and any Druid daring to step into Cloudview County would meet their end on his spear!

Even so, not a single Druid High Priest or celebrant dared to confront Nathan.

He stood alone in Border town, blocking more than a million Druids.

Nathan had become the most majestic sight in Border town. Clad in simple clothes, he stood firm against the wind and rain, spear in hand, leading a group of weary old men.

His presence was etched into every Druid's heart, as if with him there, no one could cross this towering mountain!

"Mr. Nathan, please step back. We of the White wish to be eternal friends with your Blackwood!"

"Yes, Mr. Nathan, I, Harris, feel the same. What is there in the Emerald Empire worth guarding? Please, step back."

"What's the point of your persistence?!"

The two Druid High Priests levitated, trying to persuade Nathan. They had many masters and had prepared for many days; they could easily kill Nathan if they attacked together, yet they resorted to pleading in low voices.

Nathan remained silent, his quiet gaze deafening as he stared at these powerful beings.

Below the city, a dense army of Druids gathered.

Suddenly, he remembered a royal decree from months ago. He couldn't stop the downfall of Cloudview County; Blackwood had to retreat, but he could not!

His family's influence had grown, and he had once declared that everyone in Glory City would protect their homeland with their lives, but under the overwhelming circumstances, his family had broken their promise.

He had to stand out; he had to guard Cloudview County until the last moment.

When news of his death spread, no one would care if Blackwood had broken their promise; they would remember Nathan standing at the borders of Cloudview County, fighting for their homeland until his last breath.

"One day..."

Nathan smiled, waiting for the Druids below to charge.

"One day my children will grow strong, and the old friends who left Cloudview County will also grow strong. Our descendants will pass down these stories."

"They will know that there was someone named Stephen in Cloudview County who died for it."

"Many sects in Cloudview County fought for over thirty years to protect this land, shedding their ancestors' blood."

"They will remember, we of Blackwood had someone named Nicholas, who endured humiliation for thirty years to bring us victory."

"And me, Nathan..."

Nathan's eyes sparkled, "I stand on this wall, fearless against a million Druids, dying with our homeland!"

"My descendants, the future generations of Cloudview County, will carry all these memories. Under the leadership of my Blackwood, they will return to this land, drive out all enemies, and bring renewal!"

"The sacrifices of Cloudview County over these years will not have been in vain!"

He stood before a million Druids.

He stood on the wall, appearing so frail, like a grain of sand about to be submerged.

But he was a pillar holding up the sky, supporting the future of the entire Cloudview County!

...

[Your descendant Nathan, leading the elderly left in Glory City, goes to defend Azure Cloud Border town!]

[He decides to sacrifice his life, becoming a memory for the descendants of Cloudview County, awakening their belief to return to their homeland, setting their goal to return to Cloudview County. Trait gained: Cloudview County's Last Hope]

[On the land of Cloudview County, combat power increases by 30%, prestige by 50%!]

Ethan, in front of the screen, watched everything unfold.

Withdrawing from Cloudview County was Nathan's lie, this guy who had been honest all his life, this was his first time deceiving the children, the first time lying to Luna.

"At such an old age, why so foolish?"

Ethan held the mouse, his finger on the skill button.

He didn't try to stop him; he knew it was futile. The children had grown up and become stubborn, with their own thoughts and their own convictions.

Ethan took a deep breath, shifting the view to the outskirts of Border town. He murmured softly, "Nathan, oh Nathan, do you really think you can hide your plans from me, from Luna and the kids? You're not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed."

There stood a tall tower!

The autumn breeze fluttered a woman's simple attire. This woman, with her enchanting beauty, carried a silver coffin on her back. She had been standing on that tower for who knows how long, gently gazing at Nathan's figure on the city wall.

Death Coffin, truly Nathan's unique treasure, sensed his presence, causing the coffin lid to tremble.

Luna reached back to touch the coffin lid, smiling slightly, "You're upset too, aren't you? It seems when men get powerful, they turn bad, learning to abandon their families."

The coffin lid trembled even more violently.

"Let's go, we're going to settle the score with him!"

As her words fell, Luna rose into the air, her presence overwhelmingly mystical!

All the Druids outside Azure Cloud Border town looked up, watching Luna descend like a fairy from the heavens!

"Madam!"

The elderly men of Glory City on the city walls were all stunned, saluting Luna in unison.

"Luna, how... how did you get here?"

Nathan's face changed as Luna appeared beside him, glaring at him furiously, causing him some panic.

"What do you think?"

Luna looked up at her husband, her fists clenched in anger, ready to punch Nathan, but then her fists slowly relaxed. She touched Nathan's face, her voice tender, "Fool, don't you dare leave me behind. Whatever it is, we'll face it together."

She had seen through her husband's intentions early on but chose not to expose him, not even to their children.

She came without any regrets!

What Druids? What Emerald Empire?

None of that mattered anymore. Whether in life or death, she would be by her husband's side, just as they had been through the years.

"Luna."

That day, the hundreds of elders from Glory City, along with a million Druids, all stared blankly at the couple on the city walls. The autumn breeze was cool, and as the couple looked into each other's eyes, no one else existed in their gaze.

"..."

Their Forebearer, Ethan, was also watching. He suddenly took a gulp of water, for even though he hadn't eaten anything, the sweetness was overwhelming, sweet enough to choke him.
