A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 913

Chapter 913: Chapter 643 Attack Chapter 913: Chapter 643 Attack In the days that followed, the Third Family sealed their gates and refused to venture out. To other Drow Elf families observing the scene, it could only prove one thing.

That was–indeed the Third Family had lost the favor of the Spider Queen, so all they could do now was crouch warily in their sanctuary, praying for the Spider Goddess's forgiveness! Otherwise, there was only a path to death!

So, who would launch an attack on the Third Family?

The entire city was rife with undercurrents. There were sixty-six families within the city, and anyone desired a position among the top eight. The Third Family's position was not low, but the strength they showed was far behind their status. Many understood that the Third Family was likely to decline, it was just a surprise it came so swiftly.

Having lost the Chief Priest and the Spider Queen's affection, what awaited them was… only the path to death.

However, the status of the Third Family was indeed too high.

Did the families at the rear have the courage to eradicate them and then ascend to their position?

Drow Elves are indeed ambitious, but their ambition is equally cautious.

If a family ranked forty-ninth suddenly removed the Third Family and became one of the rulers of the top three in this city, it would definitely attract everyone's attention.

For a Drow Elf family with an unstable foundation, this would definitely not be good news.

Who could it be?

Philray stood on the balcony, looking at the mithril fence outside the Third Family, with Duanmu Huai standing silently behind her, playing the role of a qualified construct. At this moment, there was no one else beside Philray, but she did not care, knowing she was absolutely safe under the protection of this black construct, even the Lady Mother could not pose a threat to her.

Not even the Lady Mother!

This thought sprouted in Philray's mind and then took root. However, she soon forced herself to temporarily put aside this tempting idea and began to ponder hard.

The Fourth Family? The Fifth Family? The Sixth Family?

Among the top eight families, except for the First Family, the strength of the other families wasn't much different and the interests were also equal, meaning that even if the later families eradicated the Third Family, it would be hard to gain much benefit. She also doubted whether the Ninth Family and the Tenth Family had the guts to act.

While Philray was thinking, a Drow Guard appeared behind her, offering a salute.

“Lady Philray, the Lady Mother calls for you to convene in the sanctuary.”

“I understand.”

Philray nodded, then turned and left the balcony, returning to the sanctuary with Duanmu Huai. However, when Philray entered the sanctuary, she found the atmosphere extremely tense and serious, far beyond her expectations. But soon, Philray thought of something and looked up at Lady Sinafi.

“Have we discovered which family wants to attack us?”

“Yes, my daughter.”

Lady Sinafi's face was grave.

“We have received intelligence that the Hercules Family will lead the assault in this war against our family, and the Butler and Carlstern families will also be involved.”

“Impossible!”

Hearing Lady Sinafi's reply, Philray was shocked and looked at her mother in amazement.

“Why would the Second Clan act against us? We pose no threat to them!”

The Hercules Family was the Second Clan, the Butler Family was the Fourth Family, and Carlstern was the Ninth Family. It must be said, just hearing this news had already stunned Philray. She had not anticipated that these three families would actually conspire to target them–of course, Philray could be certain that the latter two would certainly not appear on the battlefield; they would only send their soldiers to wear the Second Clan's emblem, pretending to be soldiers of the Second Clan.

“The Hercules Family sold us for a good price!”

At this moment, Lady Sinafi's face was extremely gloomy, and she had not expected the Second Clan to be so bold. But she had to admit, it was indeed a good deal. The decline of the Third Family was well known, and as mentioned before, the Third Family's position was too high, and other families might not dare to take the risk of attacking them.

However, the Second Clan was different; they could certainly use the fact that the Third Family had lost the Spider Queen's favor as an excuse to eradicate them. And once the Third Family was eliminated, the Fourth Family would automatically move into the top three, and the Ninth would move into the top eight. In this way, both clans could obtain the positions and power they wanted, without the fear of becoming targets.

Naturally, the Second Clan would not do this favor for other families without receiving benefits in return.

Who would have expected such a thing to happen!

Lady Sinafi was also taken aback. The Third Family had intentionally shown weakness only to draw out those families harboring malicious intentions, then annihilate them. But now… the one that took the bait was a big shark!

“When will they launch the attack!?”

Philray asked. Before Lady Sinafi could reply, suddenly everything around them darkened as the entire Third Family's residence was enveloped in a magic shadow.
