Grand Duke Risa, who was expelled from the court, could certainly not sit still. Back at his mansion, he plans to take advantage of the time lag between his dismissal as prime minister, but it has not yet been officially announced, to try to save a chance. The best target is the heir of the old rival, his eldest son, the Marquis of Farshid, the Grand Duke's agent who was left in the capital.

Having made up his mind, Risagong immediately summoned the knights, the leader of his guard.

Although nominally only half of the Duke's Guard remained, it was not too difficult to make up the number of five hundred. But what made Lisa Gong feel distressed was the loss of a thousand people. It can be said that the young people in their territory, and the best part, lost their lives forever. And they can't even be resurrected, because they are all burned to ashes.

This hatred was brewing in the remaining members of the guard. When the knight, the leader of the blood relatives of the Risa family, came to the head of the family, the first thing he did was naturally to ask for battle.

In fact, this is the second time that a request has been made. The previous time was in the morning, when I got the news, the chief knight had come to ask for battle. It's just that at that time, Lisa Gong still wanted to use the general pressure to force the heir of the Kavi family to agree to his own disposition. In this way, the army can be bloodless and solve the problem.

It's a pity that his plan was not achieved, and the emperor's showdown forced Lisa Gong into a rather dangerous situation. So this time, in the face of the request of the chief knight, he did not veto it again, but asked directly: "How many people do you need to take down the little rabbit cub of the Kaveh family?" ”

"Master, I need half of the manpower in the house. It is guaranteed that the work can be done before the emperor's personal guards intervene. The chief knight said, holding his breath.

"I'll give you all the men, and I'll go too. But I want the little cubs of the Kaveh family, alive. The others are at your disposal, and before the emperor's men intervene, take care of all the hands and tails. Can it be done? ”

"Yes, master. Guaranteed completion. ”

"Go ahead, get everything ready." Risa Gong nodded, agreeing to a predictable killing.

Although in the evaluation of outsiders, the strength of the Risa family is inferior to that of the Kaveh family, but the difference between the two sides is only a grand duke with extraordinary strength.

Internally, it is responsible for crusading against bandits and bandits, dealing with the demonic beasts that have caused disasters, and externally recruiting foreign enemies to prevent the invasion of other countries. The responsibilities of the two Grand Duke's families are the same, and there will not be much difference in the force under their command. Even if Lisa Gong understands his shortcomings, he will be more dedicated to preparing better weapons and equipment for the armed forces he relies on, in order to narrow the gap.

Therefore, as long as Ricardo Cavi himself did not stay in the Duke's Palace in the imperial capital, it was not difficult to storm a mansion with half of the Duke's Guard. As for the attitude of outsiders, it doesn't matter.

The nobles of the empire did not have a tacit agreement not to use assassination, forcible attack and other means, so that everything was only maintained within the scope of Wendou. It's a joke to say that you're afraid that someone else will attack a crowd that breaks the rules.

If this level of regulation and punishment is useful, then there is no need for law in the world, and it is enough to have a moral code. Isn't anyone who violates morality afraid of being accused by thousands of people, being sprayed to death by spittle stars, and letting himself live in the world without a face?

The reason why the nobles of the Gwana Empire did not dare to easily make a mistake in the imperial capital was only the attitude of the most powerful nobleman, the Emperor.

The Duke's Guard is capped at 500 men, the Marquis at 400, and the Earl at 300...... Descending order. Each rank has a standing number of weapons. exceeded, which is regarded as a provocation to the imperial power.

Weak nobles may not be able to afford to raise enough guards, and powerful nobles can only use other alternative means to raise more soldiers. But no matter how the latter increases, they only dare to raise it in their own territory, but there are emperor Sanwei in the imperial capital who is dead on everyone's heads.

The Praetorian Guard was responsible for overseeing the nobles and officials, and everything was heard; The Guards Corps defended the palace and the national capital; The Iron Guards took the initiative. The three guards are all legions with a standing strength of 10,000 people, and any nobleman who wants to have the courage to fight the emperor must return to his own territory to recruit troops. Otherwise, relying on the standing guards alone is not enough for the emperor's three guards to fight, and there is no need for the three guards to go out together.

There is such an underworld force pressing on everyone, so how everyone can fight and rob, the rules are up to the emperor. Now that the Risa family and the Kaveh family are in this matter, the person sitting on the supreme throne has made up his mind and doesn't want to care. Then there is no reason for Angie Risa not to do something that is originally considered a 'bad rule', and it is better to provoke the one who can't help but come forward.

The old duke just couldn't get used to Emperor Armin's attitude of being high and controlling everything, and then he could sit back and enjoy it.

Two grand dukes fought each other, one of them killed and maimed the other, and beat them to the point of extinction, at most they could only rob the other party's property as spoils, but they could not encroach on the territory and population belonging to the losing side. Because there is no basis for the law, the revenge of the blood banner is not a tool to annex other nobles.

So what about the population and territory of the family of the heir? Traditionally, it was managed by a high nobleman until someone was willing to come forward to inherit the severed family name. It is also possible to divide it among others, but it is easier for others to criticize it. Even the people who lived in that land were prone to nostalgia for the old lord and ostracize the new lord.

In any case, although the battle between the Risa family and the Kaveh family over the blood flag may turn into a military disaster that spreads throughout the empire, it is not something that others cannot benefit from. For example, if you join the side of the winner and contribute, you are naturally entitled to a share of the disposition of the loser. And the emperor is even more secure to include the territory and population of the losing side.

But why should he become a fish on the chopping board in the eyes of others? The unwillingness in Lisagong's heart, how many people can understand.

At their level, there is no longer right or wrong, just success and defeat. The old thing of the emperor also said that he would only be on the side of the victors. And if he was able to drive that man out of the palace in the past, he had a way to go one step further and kill him.

The confidence and calmness regained allowed Angie Risa to quickly see her situation. To deal with that old opponent, although he least wants to go into a hard-hitting situation, he is not completely without preparation and plans in this regard, and even he is not completely without a chance of winning.

The ideal first step at the moment is to directly capture the man's son, his first heir. As long as such a hostage is in hand, no matter how you use it in the future, you can say that you have a safe chance of winning.

To do this, he had to come forward in person. It is not only a bait, but also to make good use of the last residual power before he was widely informed about his resignation as the prime minister of the empire, to deter those who hide in the shadows and wait for the opportunity to do it. Tell them with practical actions that the majesty of the Grand Duke should not be taken lightly!
