Chapter 1144: The Battle of the Duke's Palace
The battle that started in an instant unfolded at multiple points. The black cloaks lurking in the shadows, guided by the magic items used for communication, launched an attack on the Duke of Kaveh's palace at the same time. The direction they chose was not the gate that ordinary people would use, nor the window of the breakthrough, but the elite warriors with extraordinary human strength, armed with a city-breaking hammer, directly cut holes in the wall and killed them!
It's a world of personal power. On Earth, operations that must be carried out with the help of demolition and time are effortless for the elite warriors in the Maze. The walls of ordinary houses, under the hammers in their hands, are no different from paper. They directly attacked the Grand Duke's Mansion, which was no different from the fortress, with more than a dozen breaches.
Guarding the palace of the Duke of Kaveh, the invaders were met by members of the Marquis of Falshid's guard. Of course, they will have corresponding precautions against various attacking parties.
But this way of breaking through at multiple points does not have a good defensive strategy. Because the initiative is in the hands of the other party, the marquis guards can only defend passively, and wherever there is a report from the invaders, they will support on which side, exhausted.
And all the people in the Duke's Mansion are not all the kind of people who are proficient in martial arts and then don't do their jobs. There are also many ordinary people who work hard to do the most basic work needed to maintain a mansion, including food and cleaning.
These people are powerless in the face of murderous invaders. Those who were lucky enough to be able to flee to a temporary safety under the cover of the members of the guards who rushed to support; Those who are unfortunate lose their lives on the spot. Under the slaughter of these strong men, even the whole corpse is an extravagant hope.
The battle between the nobles, the battlefield has a reason on the battlefield. The so-called all-encompassing is actually just a battle for victory or defeat, and it is just a bet on life and death. Therefore, some people say that war is a continuation of politics, and after all, it is necessary to sit at the negotiating table and waste saliva.
But invading a nobleman's mansion is a completely different thing, because it is an act of annihilation. Killing, arson, all of them. Intruders don't necessarily care about the loot, but they definitely don't leave them alive. If you don't do this, you don't have to kill the other party's home at all.
Both sides know this. So at this moment, no one wastes their efforts to beg for mercy. Either flee or fight, there is no third option.
But no matter how cruel the fighting on the battlefield is, it is also a soldier-to-soldier thing. On the 'battlefield' of invading aristocratic mansions, whether they are old, weak, women or children, armed with weapons or not, will become targets for killing. In order to survive, everyone has to resist hard, and then realize that all their efforts are in vain......
The Marquis of Farshid's guard was selected under the same standards and under the same tests as the guard of the Grand Duke of Kavey. The same goes for armament. In terms of strength, they were in no way inferior to the members of the guard of the Grand Duke of Risa, hidden under the black cloak. However, the disadvantages of passive defense have caused the Duke's Mansion and Chambers, which are comparable to battlefield positions, to fall everywhere.
However, the courage of the Marquis of Farshid was beyond everyone's imagination. When wielded, it brings a streamer of magic swords, 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 Lisa Public Guard also remembered that this man was the front commander of the 10th Brigade of the glorious 1st Army when he was young, and that was by no means a position that could be held firmly by virtue of his background.
The regular army of the empire, even if there has been no foreign enemy in the past hundred years, and there has been no foreign invasion, there are still countless demonic beasts and monsters that have to be eliminated. The responsibility of protecting civilization does not stop for a moment.
It has never been a place for gentlemen to gild themselves, let alone a place suitable for eating empty salaries and providing for the elderly. The regular legion recruited all kinds of strong men and trained them to become qualified soldiers. To be able to suppress this group of strong people, it is impossible to do it without the strength that overrides them.
And the heir of the Grand Duke in front of him is a man who is only one step away from being able to climb up and become the commander of the First Legion. It's a pity that to sit in that position, not only must have strength, but also political considerations.
Although the heir of the Grand Duke did not sit on it, it was also a political consideration. Because no one can accept that the father holds the military power of the empire, and the son is the commander of an elite army.
With such a combination, it is too easy to make trouble, and anyone will not be able to sleep well. So the heir of the Grand Duke returned home, and he had no possibility of going further 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, the Marquis of Farshid was strong. In the Gwana Empire, below the transcendent, he is also a powerhouse belonging to the first order.
This can be seen from the fact that he wears a full set of aristocratic dresses that are not very mobile, and only with the magic sword that he relied on to become famous, Quas, and can continuously slash heavily armed invaders. These intruders weren't three-legged cats, they were the guards of another Grand Duke. Its strength evaluation is definitely in the elite sequence in the empire.
But as long as there are strong people in the mortal realm, there will be weaknesses that only mortals have. Wielding a magic sword and playing special effects requires magical powers. A slash that is enough to crack through heavy armor requires a lot of arm strength and stamina. At the same time, it takes a limited amount of energy for one person to command the guards to defend and help others in the Duke's Palace. And the enemy is by no means weak.
Sweat is mixed with blood, and the blood on the body is both the enemy's and the own. The Marquis of Farsid, who was exhausted, just pestle his long sword like this, gasped for breath, looked at the endless stream of intruders, and surrounded him.
There were only a few members of the guard who followed him, most of them scattered throughout the Duke's Palace, and a considerable number of them were seriously injured or even killed in the course of the confrontation. And he himself did not wear any armor, and with only a long sword to take on both offense and defense, it was naturally difficult to avoid injury.
At this moment, several black cloaks came out of the enemy formation, and their weapons were chains wrapped around their arms, rather than ordinary swords, axes, and hammers. The chain can not only increase the power of the fist, can throw attacks, but also can be wrapped around the arm as wrist armor to block the enemy's attack, which can be said to be both offensive and defensive.
The man who was good at wielding such a weapon did know such a man in the impression of the Marquis of Farshid (pseudo). I studied with him for a while, but then I lost contact.
On the battlefield, of course, there is no room for too many memories, and another wave of fierce offensives unfolds. This time, the force of the blow was completely different from before, and it seemed that he was a veteran of the Risa Guard. The first to bear the brunt was the group of men who used iron chains. They carried the chains like long whips, and they were tigers and tigers.
In the first move, the only magic sword he relied on was entangled in several iron chains. At the same time, the limbs are also greeted. The members of the guard tried to step forward to protect the master, but were repelled by the enemy who was outnumbered. Finally, the already exhausted Marquis of Falcid (pseudo) was captured alive by the enemy's fresh forces.
Grand Duke Risa finally stepped into the mansion of Duke Carvey's mansion, intending to inspect the spoils of this battle. The man's son.
