Chapter 1,144 The Battle of the Duke's Mansion

The battle started in an instant and unfolded at multiple points. The black cloaks lurking in the dark, guided by the magic props used for communication, simultaneously launched an attack on the Duke of Kawei's palace. The direction they chose was not the door that ordinary people would use, nor the window of the breach, but the elite warriors with extraordinary strength, holding a city-breaking hammer, directly opened a hole in the wall, and fought their way in!

This is a world of personal power. On Earth, operations that require the help of blasting and time-consuming operations are effortless for those elite warriors in the Lost Lands. The walls of ordinary houses are no different from paper under the heavy hammers in their hands. They directly opened more than ten holes in the Grand Duke's residence, which was run like a fortress, and launched an attack.

Guarding the Duke of Kavi's palace, those who met the invaders were members of Marquis Farshid's guard. Of course they have corresponding preparations for various offensive plans.

But this multi-point breakthrough method does not have a good defensive strategy. Because the initiative lies with the opponent, the Marquis Guards can only defend passively, rushing to support wherever the intruder is notified, and they are exhausted.

Moreover, not everyone in the Duke's Palace is the kind of person who is proficient in martial arts and then does not do his job. There are also many ordinary people who work hard to do the most basic tasks required to maintain a mansion, including meals and cleaning.

These people were defenseless against the brutal invaders. Those who were lucky enough were able to escape to a temporarily safe location under the cover of the Guard members who came to support them; those who were unfortunate enough lost their lives on the spot. Under the slaughter of these strong men, even the whole corpse was a luxury.

Battles between nobles have their own battlefield principles. The so-called "doing everything possible" is actually just fighting for victory or defeat, and using life and death as a bet. Therefore, some people say that war is a continuation of politics, and it will eventually be a waste of time to sit at the negotiating table.

But invading a noble's residence is a completely different matter, because it is an act aimed at exterminating the family. Killings, setting fires, everything. The invaders may not care about loot, but they will definitely not leave anyone alive. If you don't do it to this extent, there is no need to go to the other party's home.

Both sides know this truth. So at this moment, no one is wasting his time begging for mercy. Either run away or fight, there is no third option.

But no matter how cruel the fighting on the battlefield is, it is still a matter between soldiers and soldiers. On the 'battlefield' where a noble's mansion is invaded, the elderly, weak, women and children, regardless of whether they are armed or not, will be targeted for death. In order to survive, everyone has no choice but to resist, and then realize that all their efforts are in vain...

The guards of Marquis Farshid were selected under the same standards and the same test as the guards of Grand Duke Kawi. The same goes for weapons and equipment. In terms of strength, they are by no means inferior to the members of the guard of Grand Duke Risa hidden under the black cloak. However, the shortcomings of passive defense caused the Duke's palace halls, which were comparable to battlefield positions, to fall everywhere.

However, Marquis Farshid's bravery exceeded everyone's imagination. The magic long sword that will bring out the stream of light when it is swung, harvesting the heads of the invaders one by one. Countless high-ranking knights in black cloaks lost their lives forever in this invasion as disgraceful masked invaders.

At this time, the members of the invading Risa Public Guards also remembered that when he was young, this man was the glorious frontline commander of the 10th Battalion of the First Army. That was by no means a position that one could secure based on his background.

Even if the empire's regular army has no foreign enemies or invades in the past hundred years, there are still countless monsters and monsters that must be exterminated. The responsibility to protect civilization never stops.

It has never been a place for dandies to gild themselves, let alone a place suitable for living on empty wages and providing for retirement. The regular legion recruited various strong men and trained them into qualified soldiers. To be able to suppress this group of strong men, it is impossible without overriding strength.

The heir to the grand duke in front of him is a man who is only one step away from climbing up the ranks and serving as the commander of the First Legion. Unfortunately, to sit in that position requires not only strength, but also political considerations.

Although the heir of the Grand Duke did not sit on it, it was also due to political considerations. Because no one can accept that the father holds the military power of the empire, while the son is the commander of an elite army.

With such a combination, it is too easy to achieve reality, and anyone will have trouble sleeping. So the heir to the Grand Duke returned home, with no further possibility of further advancement in the military until his father retired or even died.

Such regret is not a reason to hypnotize yourself and tell yourself that the person in front of you is a weak person. On the contrary, Marquis Farshed is very strong. In the Gwana Empire, he is also a strong man in the first rank below the extraordinary.

This can be seen from the fact that he is wearing a set of aristocratic attire that is not very flexible, and can continuously kill heavily armed intruders with only the magic sword for which he is famous - Quas. . These intruders are not three-legged cats, but the guards of another Grand Duke. In terms of strength evaluation, it is definitely among the elite in the empire.

But as long as a strong person is still in the mortal realm, he will have weaknesses that only mortals have. Wielding a magic sword to produce special effects requires magic power. Swinging out a slash powerful enough to split heavy armor requires strong arm strength and physical strength. At the same time, he also has to direct the guards to defend and rescue other people in the Duke's palace, which will consume a person's limited energy. And the enemy is by no means weak.

Sweat was mixed with blood, and the blood on his body was from his enemies as well as his own. The exhausted Marquis Farcid just punched the ground with his sword, gasping for air, watching the endless stream of intruders surrounding him.

There were only a few members of the guard who followed him, and most of them were scattered throughout the Duke's Palace. A considerable number of them were seriously injured or even killed during the confrontation. And he himself was not wearing any armor. He only used a long sword for both offense and defense, so it was naturally difficult to avoid injury.

At this time, several black cloaks walked out of the enemy formation. Their weapons were iron chains wrapped around their arms, instead of ordinary swords, axes, hammers and the like. The iron chain can not only increase the power of the punch and throw the attack, but can also be wrapped around the arm as a wrist armor to block the enemy's attack. It can be said to be both offensive and defensive.

In the impression of Marquis Farshed (Pseudo), he really knew a man who was good at using such weapons. I also studied with him for a while, but then lost contact.

On the battlefield, there was of course no room for too many memories, as another fierce offensive unfolded. This time, the force of the blow was completely different from before. It seemed that it was a veteran of the Risa Public Guards. The first to bear the brunt were the men using chains. They transported the iron chain like a long whip, making the tiger strong and powerful.

In the first move, the only magic sword he relied on was entangled with several iron chains. At the same time, everyone in the limbs is greeted. The members of the guard wanted to step forward to protect the Lord, but were repelled by the larger enemy. Finally, the already exhausted Marquis Farcid (pseudo) was captured alive by the enemy's fresh force.

Grand Duke Risa finally stepped into the residence of Duke Kawei and planned to inspect the spoils of this battle. That man's son.
