"The Purple Sail Mercenary Regiment has captured Xicheng District - that renegade mongrel of Landzer is plundering there, hundreds of mercenaries are looting and slaughtering all the militia and nobles who are still resisting, and most of the city has completely fallen, and they are even setting fire to it!"

"Lusen Minest of the One-Horned Seahorse family has taken over the lighthouse in the harbor, and the flag of the people of Turin is hoisted over the heads of the entire Shining Star City!"

"Bright Star City is burning, it's burning, Lord Cosimo, there are those carrion monsters everywhere who are wantonly slaughtering, these monsters are not only killing those Turines, but also killing the civilians of Bright Star City, Nancheng is almost a dead city!"

"The army of the northern city has rebelled! The cowards have all surrendered to the Turinees, and thousands of Turin's army is approaching the Palazzo della Lord, ready to attack at any moment!" ............

One bad news after another kept coming into the lord's palace from the outside, and the nobles of Bright Star City, who already didn't have much confidence in the future, were even more depressed, and one by one they were almost on the verge of collapse - especially after hearing about the army rebellion in Beicheng District, they all cried and scolded those "ungrateful" lowly people with sad faces, they didn't even have the slightest "sense of honor", and did this kind of thing like that damn bastard!

Because after this last army rebelled, the Lord's Palace, which was at the heart of Bright Star City, was almost facing a siege from three sides by the Turin people at the same time - that was an army of nearly 10,000 people, did those damn untouchables think that after the Turines conquered Bright Star City, what good life would they have?!

Desperate cries, screams of astonishment, insane madness...... The entire Lord's Palace is a tragicomedy of demons dancing wildly. And just half a year ago, the nobles of Bright Star City who were already like crazy demons standing here. He also cheered high-spiritedly. Stand in this extravagant and elegant Lord's Palace. Dominica, who rules more expansive than the Kingdom of Turin!

And now, the palace is about to become the grave of all of them. Such a cruel reality was completely unacceptable to these Bright Star City nobles, but they had to face it. The only point of view was the rebellious militia, the damned bastard Landzel, the irresponsible Ottovik and, of course, Cosimo Ottowick.

But at this moment, Cosimo had no time to care about the man behind him. Born in the last years of the Dominica War, he was raised in the Civil War. More practical and responsible than many wizards...... Or ambition.

He knows how Bright Star City betrayed the Honan family in the Dominic War, causing Dominica to lose to the people of Turine, and he also knows how much hatred and betrayal the Otovic family accumulated during the civil war to ascend to the throne of the overlord - and this sudden war, no matter which side is not upholding "justice", but a naked conspiracy!

As for the militia's rebellion, Cosimo was not very surprised - he had been prepared for this since he was ready to use the rotting corpses, and tens of thousands of rotting corpses would become the strongest barrier in the entire Lord's Palace, and the militia of the northern city district. It's just a consumable to delay the enemy and buy time for this "carrion frenzy"!

Even if you give it your all. It is impossible for Bright Star City to keep both the Purple Sail Mercenary Regiment and the Turines' army out of the city walls, let alone in the current situation of being isolated - so Cosimo chose to abandon all the city districts and defend the Lord's Palace, leaving the enemy in a terrible "quagmire", and when they have experienced a terrible battle, the incomparably strong Lord's Palace will make them desperate!

An entire legion of elite hoplites, the largest defensive front, and heavy crossbows, catapults, well-hammers, traps...... As well as many special alchemy machines, all of which are the essence accumulated over the years in Bright Star City, they will definitely be able to make those damned enemies and traitors crash their heads outside the Lord's Palace!

And the commander of this army is also Cosimo's most trusted wizard, his own brother Trist Ottovic, the pride of the younger generation of the Otovík family, and even an excellent commander who can be called equal to Landzel's bastard traitor, who is responsible for the battle of Cosimo in the Lord's Palace.

What's more, he didn't expect this war to be won - as long as the people of Turin paid enough costs, they would naturally choose peace, after all, they had already plundered an extremely large amount of wealth from this war, even if they plundered the entire Bright Star City again, not to mention that fighting so far from the territory was also full of danger for this army.

"Bright Star City is entrusted to you, Trist. Standing on the battlements, Cosimo, who was almost physically and mentally exhausted, held on the shoulders of a young man who looked like him, but looked more energetic, and said in a deep voice: "If this battle is unfortunately lost, it will be the end of our Otovik family!"

"Today will definitely not be the end of the Otovik family, my esteemed brother. Trist, who was wearing delicate armor in addition to his close-fitting wizard robes, had a pair of extremely sharp eyes, raised the corners of his mouth with confidence, and showed a few fangs, and gently knocked off the hand on his shoulder: "With the reputation of our ancient family as a guarantee, today is definitely not the end of the Otovik family." ”

"In any case, the ancient Otovik family has ruled the city for thousands of years, and the deep roots are not something that a few illegitimate children and uninvited Gentiles can rule, Bright Star City is Otovik, and Otovik is Bright Star City!"

"I'm glad you're so confident, but the enemy we're facing is very strong. Seeing such a rude behavior of this somewhat stubborn brother, Cosimo only regarded it as a young man: "But you are right, Otovic is the city of the Bright Stars - our family is the ruler of this city-state, now and in the future!"

"My dear brother, will you defeat those enemies for me?"

"I will defeat all the enemies of the Otovik family. The young Trist Ottovic replied cryptically: "All those who stand in the way of the Otovík family are my enemies!"

After hearing this, Cosimo, who breathed a sigh of relief, smiled a little relaxed, and then turned around and left with confidence. However, he didn't notice that his own brother never left the cruel look behind him.

"Are we really going to fight the Turinees?" and when Cosimo was gone, a dark-skinned guard stood behind Trist, "just for a bunch of brainless idiots and megalomaniacs?"

"Of course not, I have some confidence in either Landzel or the Turinese alone, but they have joined forces - not to mention the militiamen who are eager to tear us apart, and this is going to be a losing war. Trist shook his head, a hint of helplessness on his lips, "And I'm not going to do anything stupid." ”

"But you just said ......"

"I'm talking about all the people who stand in the way of the Otovik family - obviously, my dear brother Cosimo, has become the biggest obstacle to our family!"

Trist sneered, his face full of contempt and disdain: "This fool's move The Outovik family has become a demon destroying the city-state, and he thinks he is doing a very clever job - I dare say that the current Landzer mongrel must be shouting some kind of slogan like 'justice', ready to slaughter the entire Otovik family!"

"Pass the order, if those Turineites are going to attack the Palazzo della Signoria, tell them that all this is the work of Cosimo Otovíc, and that it has nothing to do with the good people of Shining Star City or the Otovík family. We are willing to compensate them for all their losses and surrender to the Kingdom of Turin - but only if the family that rules Bright Star City remains Ottovik!" (to be continued......)
