The bloody battle of the Black Rose was fought very fiercely from the beginning, one side had the determination to conquer it, and the other side also had a reason not to retreat, and anyone who lost this battle would have an abyss behind them.

Although the City Guards are weaker than the Blood Moon Legion and the Royal Praetorian Guard, they are also regular troops stationed in Maltis, and they have an absolute advantage in terms of equipment, soldier quality, and discipline.

Duke Calus's private soldiers were in a bitter battle from the beginning, and if it weren't for the fact that they had more Saint-rank masters and forcibly held the scene, they might have been defeated long ago.

However, the reason why the war is cruel is because the power of the individual is very small, as long as he does not reach the legend, the individual cannot control the situation on the battlefield, even the Holy Rank.

In the face of the powerful combat power of the regular army, the noble private soldiers were still defeated even if they had a saint-level master. Fortunately, Duke Calus had already sent reinforcements in advance, and the reinforcements of the two squadrons totaling six hundred people immediately changed the situation on the battlefield.

With twice the number of people, the battle power advantage of the city guards was quickly neutralized, with the Holy Rank masters charging into battle in front of them, and a large number of soldiers in the rear who were not afraid of death.

The casualties of the city guards suddenly surged, and there was a great tendency to be counter-surrounded.

However, the City Guard was after all Maltius's garrison, with three separate combat brigades and more than 30,000 men. Compared to the number of people, the Duke of Calus's private soldiers, which totaled less than two thousand, were not of the same magnitude as them at all.

At nine o'clock in the evening, thirty minutes after the outbreak of the Battle of Black Rose, the 2nd Combat Battalion (3,000 men) of the 1st Independent Combat Brigade of the City Guard Army joined the battlefield in formation, and the battlefield situation was once again dramatically reversed.

However, just as the city guards were about to breach the Black Rose Gate, the second reinforcements from Duke Calus arrived.

Under the joint efforts of the four Saint Rank masters, the Duke of Calus's side paid a huge price of more than three hundred lives and one Saint Rank was seriously injured, and barely held the gate.

However, at this time, the city guards had already begun to mobilize the whole city, and a large number of reinforcements were coming in a steady stream, and it was only a matter of time before the Black Rose Annex was breached.

At the Misty Island Manor on the outskirts of Maltis, Duke Calus was anxious to circle around the room, while the fat Grand Duke Gabriel sat on the mountain with a solemn face and said nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.

The old butler pushed open the door of the room and said tremblingly: "Your Highness, the city guards have begun to attack, it is said that the number of troops invested has exceeded one combat battalion, and the follow-up forces are still being assembled, it seems that the Black Rose will not give up until it is broken." ”

"What?" Duke Calus smashed the coffee cup in his hand and roared, "How dare they really be so blatant?

Gabriel waved his hand gloomily, signaled the butler to withdraw, and then looked at Calus and said solemnly, "It seems that Otto guy doesn't plan to leave any room anymore......"

A trace of panic flashed on Calus's face, and he immediately ran over and grabbed the corner of Gabriel's clothes: "Cousin save me, save me, you must not let them break the Black Rose, otherwise everything will be over!"

Gabriel gritted his teeth, a grim look slowly appeared on his face, and said coldly: "How did you do the thing you prepared?"

Calus was stunned: "You mean ......"

"Otto has made a desperate bet, and I am afraid that he will carry out his final plan tonight! Otherwise, if such a large-scale operation fails, he will be doomed.

Otto, although arrogant and reckless, was by no means an idiot. If he dares to do this, he must have made up his mind to become a benevolent person if he doesn't succeed, and we must take him by surprise before he succeeds!"

Calus was shocked and hesitated, but more of a fear of destruction.

"Make up your mind, give it a go or destroy it!" said Gabriel, his eyes wide, resolutely.

Cruise gritted his teeth, and his heart was at war with heaven and man.

"It's too late, it's too late!" said Gabriel, anxiously.

"Good...... Good...... Alright!" Cruise slammed his fist on the coffee table, the fear on his face turning into madness, "it, I'll it!"

Gabriel smiled with satisfaction: "I'll mobilize all the forces now, and you can also send out all the masters who can be useful, remember that it has come to the point of life and death now, and you must not hold back any more!"

As he spoke, Gabriel turned and strode out of the room, and when he reached the door, he suddenly turned his head and saw Duke Cruise looking lost and looking out the window into the night.

Gabriel suddenly felt a sense of weakness, not knowing whether it was right or wrong to put the bet on Cruise, but now that the arrow was ready to be sent, he couldn't care so much.

He gritted his teeth and walked out of the room, heading towards the office with the magic teleportation array.

The Black Rose Annex occupies a very large area, except for a building in the middle, and there are quite a few gardens in front and back. The Great War broke out from the main entrance of the Black Rose and gradually expanded to the periphery, and there were sporadic battles near several gates, but the scale was relatively small.

Since Duke Cruise dared to arrange for the emissaries of the Aisha Alliance to live here, he naturally had the confidence to do so.

Except for a few gates that are heavily guarded, all the walls of the Black Rose Annex are more than 30 centimeters thick, and there are many private soldiers patrolling back and forth, making it difficult to enter for a while.

Mick bypassed the bustling main battlefield and cautiously walked through the cover of night, gradually touching the walls of the Black Rose.

He activated the Eye of Insight and looked around carefully for a while, seeing that there was nothing unusual, and then he carefully cast a second-level levitation technique on himself, and jumped into the wall.

Perhaps it was the battle outside that attracted the attention of the guards, but Mick didn't seem to have any defenses as far as the eye could see, and the garden at night looked like a common man's mansion, as if it were not defended at all.

However, in the face of such a dangerous place, Mick did not dare to take it lightly, he would rather consume a huge amount of mental power, but also maintain the eye of insight all the time to ensure that he would not accidentally step into any trap.

He walked along the gravel path of the garden towards Black Rose's main building, but he did not cast any magic for fear that the magic fluctuations would reveal his whereabouts.

After a few minutes of hiding, Mick finally walked from the garden to the main building.

However, the moment he stepped into the main building, he suddenly shuddered unconsciously, and an indescribable feeling enveloped him tightly, as if he was enveloped by something invisible.

A familiar word immediately popped up in Mick's mind, and that was realm! He stepped into another mage's realm! And besides him, the mages with realms on this interface all had a terrible name - mages!

Mick was shocked and immediately turned to flee, but a sudden ice formed under his feet, and in an instant he froze in place.

"Oh no!" Mick was horrified, but the ice was lightning fast, and before he could react, it had already froze all the way up his legs to his chest.
