Chapter 477 The Banner of Rebellion
Chapter 477 The Banner of Rebellion
The night in Pinocchio is now so real, devoid of the dreamlike quality of the past.
But this is the real Pinocchio, the Pinocchio that everyone has to accept.
This is the golden moment.
Beneath the surface of this decadent city, several shady "rats" are squeaking in a long-forgotten ancient wine cellar.
The air in the cellar was cold and damp, and the aged barrels emitted a sour smell. The spoiled wine dripped rhythmically from the barrels, accompanied by the heartbeats of the "rats".
In the dim light, several people sat around a small table.
Elder Hornberger of the Oak family sat in the main seat, his face now resembling dried bacon, appearing even more ferocious in the dim light.
He unconsciously tapped the old wooden bucket next to him with his fingers, making a "thump thump thump" sound. This inconspicuous action revealed his nervousness.
"Gentlemen, I believe the time has come."
Hornberger could no longer contain himself; he slammed his hand on the table, the loud noise drawing the attention of the others.
"That usurper Eve, how could she possibly hold such a ridiculous Holy Grail War, and even dare to spread her power across various moments!"
"Everyone! Now is our only chance to take back what is rightfully ours!"
Hornberger looked at everyone, and the tension he had been suppressing for so long burst forth, causing his whole body to tremble.
Aside from him, the others sitting at the table were also remnants of the family's power, core figures from various families.
In addition to Hornberger of the Oak lineage, there is Lady Elena, representative of the Clover lineage, Quartz, head of the Hound lineage, and Bissans of the Hidden Night Thrush lineage.
Since those short-sighted patriarchs left, they took over everything that remained of the family and rallied the remaining members to rebel, overthrow Eve, and reclaim ownership of Pinocone.
At that time, they will be the greatest and most prestigious members of the family.
“Opportunity?” Lady Elena sneered.
Although she was trying her best to hide it, there was still a hint of fear in her voice.
This is unavoidable.
"Hornberg, where is our chance? Even if the Holy Grail War has weakened her, that traitor Sunday has now made Pinocchio an impregnable fortress."
"And Eve... that woman is even more unfathomable. There's still one of the company's fleets stationed outside!"
Quartz from the hound family chimed in, "That's right. Right now, we're like rats in a sewer; the slightest sound and she'll crush us."
"Mice? No, we're cats now!"
Hornberger pulled back the tattered cloth, revealing boxes of weapons.
"This is..." The other four were immediately shocked.
"Black Tower Technology, the latest weapons, I had to pull a lot of strings to get them," Hornberg said proudly, patting the boxes.
Have you heard of the "Planet Series Laser Weapons"?
"You mean that star-destroying cannon developed by the genius Black Tower and installed on the starship?" Lady Elena knew exactly what he was talking about.
"That's right, this thing can shatter a planet with a single shot."
“Now, we have that power too,” Hornberger laughed.
"But that thing is so big?" Quartz was still somewhat hesitant.
"Big?" Hornberger countered.
"This thing is right here, in these boxes."
"I don't know which genius modified this weapon, but managed to shrink the planet-series laser weapon while keeping its power the same."
"Tell me, with this thing, who's the mouse and who's the cat?" Hornberger became increasingly arrogant as he spoke.
We owe a great deal to that blue-haired guy in the flashy suit to get to where we are now.
If I hadn't run into him by chance, I really wouldn't have been able to buy this kind of cutting-edge technology.
"If we had this, then we..." Lady Elena swallowed hard, her eyes practically popping out of her head as she stared at the box of weapons.
The Planetary series laser weapon was developed under the leadership of the Black Tower and perfected by the company's research department. Now, all of the company's Star Destroyers are equipped with this laser weapon, which can destroy a giant planet with a single shot.
If this thing were used in ground combat, its power would be unimaginable...
At this moment, Bissans of the Hidden Night Thrush family, who had been silent all along, spoke up.
“But, Hornberger, don’t forget that weapons are inanimate objects; the important thing is people.”
"How many people are still willing to follow us? Don't forget, last time at Liumeng Reef, our people were cleared out like garbage, and they didn't even show up on Sunday."
“This time it’s different!” Hornberger shouted.
"The Holy Grail War has now captured everyone's attention, including her own! This is our last chance!"
"But...."
"Do you want to live like a cockroach forever in a dark sewer?"
"Pinocone has always been our property, how could we possibly hand it over to robbers and traitors?"
Hornberger silenced everyone.
They gathered here to retake Pinocone.
Just then, the cellar door was flung open, and a young man rushed in.
He was breathing heavily, his face filled with barely concealed excitement.
"Elder! Madam! Mr. Quartz! Breaking news! Eve... Lady Eve has been killed in the Holy Grail War!"
