"Attack, for the sake of His Majesty the great Horace-!"

"Brethren of the Knights of the Sacred Tree, charge-!"

"Radiant Cross Blessing-!"

"Kill the bastard Cosimo Otovic and avenge it all!"

"Kill them all, and then rob them all-......!"

The roars rolled up like a tsunami, and the raging flames almost turned the entire Bright Star City into a sea of fire, and the smoke and dust that rose up made the sun's brilliance blurred, and the gurgling blood under the scorching flames stained the streets red, and the corpses of the tragic deaths were piled up messily.

Exquisite mansions collapsed in the flames, bluestone brick-paved streets soaked in blood, screams drowned out by bloodthirsty roars—hundreds of armies of battle banners wielding war spears and swords swung through the battlefield full of rotting corpses, converging into an unstoppable torrent towards the place that marked the core of power in the entire Bright Star City, the Lord's Palace.

And among these menacing armies, not only the soldiers of the Turin Expeditionary Force and the Purple Sail Mercenary Regiment, but even thousands of Bright Star City militia - all of them are the elite of the main force of the expeditionary force who are responsible for confronting the main force of the expeditionary force, and after the sudden appearance of the carrion, the slaughtered militia immediately understands that they have been abandoned.

The two armies that had fought bloody battles on the northern wall finally came together temporarily in front of thousands of rotting corpses - perhaps at first many loyal to the Otovik family believed that these rotting corpses were mere miserable slaves and captives, but when they stumbled upon a few familiar faces from the monsters, even the most determined people had turned into roaring avengers, vowing to cut the Otoviks to death!

After converging with Lusn and his army, who were besieged in the harbor, the rebel militia, mercenaries, and the Turin Expeditionary Force all took aim at the Palazzo della Signoria.

Sir Leonardo knew that they were going to face a fierce battle, so he was extremely cautious and fully prepared, even removing a few ballistas from the battleship and dragging them in a wagon to blast open the walls of the Palazzo della Lord. But when the mighty army attacked. But there was not much resistance.

Trist Ottovic, who was the commander-in-chief, only made a few symbolic attacks, and then personally walked to Leonardo's horse and fell to one knee, saying that the Otovík family was willing to surrender - only asking Leonardo to spare the people of Star City and the innocent Otovík children.

As for the "rebels" who hid in the Palazzo della Signoria, stood behind Cosimo Otovík from beginning to end. Naturally, Trist had no intention of vouching for this group of people, whether it was to kill them all or keep them as prisoners, it was the "privilege that the Turinees" as the victors "should have"!

As the flags fell, this "elite division" that Cosimo had high hopes for and spent a lot of money. In the end, without even the slightest effect, and without even a single battle, all the Turin expeditionary force had surrendered - only a handful of guards, less than a thousand men, withdrew into the Palazzo della Signoria, determined to fight the Turineites until the last moment.

After reorganizing the army a little, Sir Leonardo immediately ordered the attack - the melodious sound of trumpets and the desolate drums of war sounded at the same time, and the overwhelming army charged towards the Palazzo della Signoria amid a roar!

"What a ...... An ending that would have made Mr. Landzel unhappy. Edward, who had cut off the head of the carrion with a sword, stood in a pool of blood that almost covered his ankles, looking at the Lord's Palace, which was filled with smoke and murderous sounds, and the bloodthirsty roar kept coming from his ears. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

Although this is probably just a coincidence, it coincides with what Edward thinks - Landzel must not be the only legitimate ruler of Bright Star City, and must create an opponent for him.

Even in Edward's eyes, the mercenary leader was an extremely difficult enemy - inhumane and extremely decisive. If he becomes the ruler of Bright Star City, he will soon grow into a very threatening warlord!

And this opponent must also have a certain amount of strength, and have a considerable reputation in Bright Star City, so that he will not be eaten by Landezel even with flesh and bones - obviously Cosimo will definitely not be a suitable candidate, but now...... His younger brother Trist might be able to be the one to confront Landzel.

Most of the militia's elite are in his hands, but the number is smaller than that of the Purple Sail Mercenary Regiment, and such a force will make Landzel afraid to do it easily, as a descendant of the Ottovik family. He also definitely has more prestige than Landzel to rule Bright Star City.

Edward glanced at the leader of the Purple Sail Mercenary Regiment behind him, and it was clear that his expression was not very good—although he was still smiling lightly, indulging his mercenaries to slaughter all the enemies and rotting corpses around them, and then plundering all the wealth they could find. But you can still see the resentment after the miscalculation.

If you start with the attack aimed at the Lord's Palace. Trist Ottovic will never have a chance to surrender - even if he can really let go of his heart and surrender to this bastard brother, Landzel will not give him this choice, and will only kill the entire Lord's Palace without leaving him alive, so as to lay the foundation for his own rule in Bright Star City.

But his nature as a mercenary led Landzel to avoid the Palazzo della Lord, a palace made of broken stones, which didn't even have ten pounds of gold, and instead targeted the warehouses of the Chamber of Commerce, the cellars of the loan offices, and other places where he could loot. But he also lost the opportunity to dominate Bright Star City.

And now, he must turn to the Kingdom of Turin or Leonardo Gombray to maintain his position, which means that the Knights of the Sacred Tree can have the opportunity to meddle in the affairs of Dominica - which is why Leonardo will agree to Edward to use the Purple Sails Mercenary Regiment, the strength of the Knights of the Sacred Tree will always be his concern, the most important thing.

"It seems that the Otovik family is not as stupid as you think. With a bit of a joke, Edward waved the blade of his sword and looked at Landzel with flickering eyes: "At least they know very well that they are not the opponents of the Kingdom of Turin, and they have no chance of winning this war!"

“...... After all, it is an ancient surname that has been glorious for thousands of years, and there will always be one or two smart people who will understand the current affairs. A slight smile appeared on Landzel's face, hiding a bit of unwillingness in his eyes: "But I don't think this will affect the agreement between us, right? ”

"Of course we're not going to do that kind of thing. Nodding slightly, Edward said in a deep voice, "But I also hope that you will keep your promise - we will not be stingy with the punishment of the sword for those who have no reputation!"

Landzel could certainly hear the meaning of Edward's words - this unknown black-haired knight was also a very difficult enemy for him, and it was fair to say that he would have surrendered if he had been besieged by tens of thousands of troops, but he was able to hold on to the dilapidated castle until reinforcements arrived.

What gave him the courage to fight, Landzel thought to himself meaningfully—had he seen it through, or had he been premeditated?

"I'll keep my promise - it's strange to say, but I value my credibility very much. Landzel said in a deep voice, then looked at Edward with a mysterious smile, and deliberately lowered his voice: "The vault of the Outovic Loan House is yours, Lord Edward Witwood!"

After all, it's just a gamble, but the bet on the table is your own life...... What a worthless bet, Edward, who laughed at himself, couldn't help but think to himself.

But it's all worth it. (To be continued.) )
