thud!
Duke Garcia’s catapults flew the rocks into the sky.
The place the rock is heading to is none other than Garcia Castle.
Aww!
Rocks collided with the castle with a violent explosion.
However, the last name did not change.
“dismissal. It’s a big deal. Siege weapons do not work at all.”
“Okay. Keep attacking.”
Even Duke Garcia knew that such a dialysis weapon would not work.
‘It is an ancient castle. Even after three days and three nights of dialysis, I can’t stand it.’
There was one reason he was doing such inefficient work.
That’s Albi.
It was for his smoke screen, who is now entering the castle through a secret passage.
‘It is time to arrive at the castle soon. If you are the leader, you will immediately cut off the heads of the 7th Prince and open the gates.’
The sad thing is that he can’t cut Ion’s head himself.
In any case, in order to cover Ian’s eyes, he had to pretend to continue attacking with a siege weapon.
‘But it’s strange. It would be no wonder if we had already arrived and opened the door.’
Why are you still not contacting me?
It was a time when Duke Garcia didn’t express himself, but he thought it strangely.
A knight guarding the wall came running.
“dismissal! The royal forces outside the castle are attacking us. I don’t think it will last long.”
“····.”
Duke Garcia’s eyebrows twitched.
Apparently, the 7th Prince was able to take the castle.
As soon as the castle is stolen, they immediately attack.
“What is the current situation?”
“The royal army is attacking with siege weapons, and the east gate is about to be opened.”
“You can mobilize all your troops. Tell them to take as much time as possible.”
They were vassals who would normally follow without saying a word.
But this time it was different.
“Duke. Avoid this place for now.”
“you’re right. You are the Duke who was forced out of the pension. Even if caught, the king will surely remain silent.”
“We will take care of the rest. The Duke should go to a safe place…”
everyone was anxious.
If there was Garcia’s nature, I would be able to buy any amount of time.
“Right now, food is scarce and morale is low.”
“Since siege weapons are used to open the castle, it is impossible to stop the royal forces from outside.”
“At the very least, there are no people around who are sending reinforcements.”
The atmosphere was strange.
The nearby lords who normally crawled to Duke Garcia were silent. Obviously, those with a leash on top of Garcia.
It was obvious that something was wrong.
However, Duke Garcia struck it down in a way that it was not worth the effort.
“Soon Albi will open the gates. Everyone, be patient.”
“Ha.. Duke Haona.”
“If the castle is restored, there is no reason to be afraid of the royal family. Reinforcements will come soon.”
“Reinforcement? However, none of the lords around…”
“I don’t need those rats.”
“!”
What the duke is waiting for is none other than the first prince.
And they were the ones who had been following him in the dark for a long time.
‘At least, some of them are from the Magic Continent.’
mage.
Currently, they were able to cast large-scale magic, which was almost nonexistent in this continent of swordsmanship.
If they had their magic, they could wipe out the royal family in one stroke.
“It’s a little bit. You just have to be patient.”
Of course, Duke Garcia wasn’t stupid either.
It is a fact that we have already guessed that the atmosphere around us is strange.
I had no intention of waiting.
“Send Jeon Seo-gu. Bring back the troops sent to Hell Gaia.”
“Duke, maybe..”
“Siege in the castle, surround the royal army back and forth and annihilate them.”
Duke Garcia’s eyebrows twitched.
‘I didn’t want to damage Kaistein’s power as much as possible for the grand event, but I have no choice but to do it.’
Anyway, Hell Gaia was to be turned into a sea of blood by the secret task force.
Even if he removed his troops, there was no problem.
right at that moment.
Cuckoo Kwak Kwak!
A violent binge struck the Duchy of Garcia.
It felt like the ground was shaking.
Duke Garcia’s body was trembling slightly.
“What kind of fuss is this?”
“I’ll find out about it and come back soon.”
The vassals ran out.
And soon they knew.
“It seems that there is a vibration on the side of the castle.”
“Is it possible that the castle was pierced?”
“It’s not. We are currently investigating the cause.”
Duke Garcia was strangely sweating.
This time, it felt as if the 7th Prince Ion had done something.
“Hurry up and check it out.”
Unsurprisingly, it was enough to urge the vassals.
But it was that moment.
“It’s a big deal. dismissal!”
“What’s going on? Could it be that the gates have been pierced?”
“That… it is not…”
The messenger stumbled as if he could not speak.
Duke Garcia headed towards the wall in a strange mood.
What you see there is a huge number of soldiers. A considerable number of knights were also appearing in front of them.
It was a familiar person who was riding a horse in the front.
“Is that guy the 3rd Prince? whenever···”
“It’s not just the guy. That flag…”
“her.. “
It was the flag of the surrounding lords who had not been contacted so far.
It was natural for Garcia’s face to harden.
‘Maybe it was that guy who attacked my top.’
It was said to be knight-level power.
It was clear that it was the 3rd Prince and his knights.

Moreover, while sweeping the top, he also enlisted the lords of the neighboring estates.
‘Damn Kaistein royal bastards are always…You are blocking my way.’
That was then.
“Go… Your Excellency!”
Wasn’t someone running towards him?
His face and body were covered in dirt, and they were two knights who were almost carried by other soldiers.
Faces you know for sure.
“You guys…?”
And Duke Garcia could immediately think of it.
The peacock shouted with a pale face.
“Captain Albi! What happened to him!”
It was the knights who headed for the secret passage together with Albi.
How can these people come in such a state of super-death?
Duke Garcia couldn’t help but be surprised.
The knights shouted with somber faces.
“The captain stopped trying to save us…”
“Chief… The captain is buried in a secret passage…”
Duke Garcia shouted with a red face.
“What nonsense is that!”
“The Seven Princes… knew. He detonated explosives in the secret passage.”
“what!”
Duke Garcia’s eyes fluttered.
From https://noblemtl.com
Maybe this was the feeling of insecurity.
That was the moment.
drop!
A decoration on Duke Garcia’s clothes fell off.
A decoration with the crest of the family.
It was strangely ominous.
‘This is not enough. What else is going to happen?’
right then
bang!
With a harsh sound, the gates of Garcia’s estate were smashed.
3rd Prince Louis.
I caught my eye as he charged with [Oath].
After that, the royal army followed.
“Ha ha ha ha ha···..”
Duke Garcia burst out laughing in dismay.
*
Ian was looking out from the duke’s office.
Nathan ran towards him.
“The prince was right. There was a secret passage underground.”
“So what happened?”
“Because the Albi chief came directly. Just as you said, they exploded gunpowder and buried them.”
“Well done.”
Ian chuckled.
He didn’t even think that he would defeat Captain Albi with just gunpowder and burial.
Albi is strong enough to overcome the joint effort between Lewis and Nathan.
But he only benefited from tying his feet up.
“Look over there.”
“uh? Could it be that the gates have already been opened?”
I could see the royal army coming into the duchy.
Garcia’s army tried to stop it, but it was being pushed back helplessly.
Ian smiled broadly.
“You are also my brother. You are strong.”
3rd Prince Louis.
He was leading the knights to charge Garcia’s soldiers.
Garcia’s center was blown away by the knights’ charge.
“I don’t know if Garcia’s knights are fine. You wouldn’t be able to fight properly if you were injured like that.”
It is common sense that the power of knights can only be blocked by knights.
At the very least, I don’t know if there is even a castle.
Only stone walls and archers could not stop them. Even the gates were pierced and opened.
Garcia’s army was undergoing unilateral slaughter.
But the peacock was also a peacock.
Nathan shouted in surprise.
“Hey! You mean the soldiers are blocking that charge? How the heck did you pay for it!”
No wonder he was surprised.
One infantry had a shield that looked like a magic tool to block the charge of Lewis and the knights.
In addition, the attacking magic tools that follow.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
A part of the royal family exploded due to the explosion of the magic tool.
Even Lewis and his knights flinched and turned their heads to the side.
Seeing that, Nathan tilted his head.
“In the duchyYou didn’t even see anything?”
“That must have been the duke’s treasury.”
“But aren’t those things you can get with money?”
“It seems that the duke had a rear boat that we didn’t know about.”
Of course, Ian knew the backstory.
‘The Duke was the only merchant who imported goods from the Magic Continent.’
But he was weird.
Originally, commerce with the Magic Continent was something to come after a long time.
He succeeded only when Lee Eon in his previous life was recognized as the successor.
‘I wonder if he has been doing business since before this. Then he must have deceived me.’
No, it was obvious that I deceived everyone.
However, even with magic tools, it was not easy to block the power of the knights.
I didn’t know there were wizards.
‘If it’s a large-scale war magic, it’s useless for a knight to use [Oath].’
No one would be able to approach him easily except for Galon’s [Fortitude].
However, magic tools are limited items.
“Look over there. My brother knows that too, and he continues to use up his magic tools, doesn’t he?”
“Iknow, right. It’s only a matter of time before Garcia’s defense is breached.”
The power of the knights still remained.
However, it was also just a matter of time before the peacock was caught.
Then Ian asked the knight behind him.
“how about it? What about joining Gyeongdo over there?”
It was Angel of the 3rd Prince.
It was an article that Lewis left to Ian, saying that it was a contact message. He even helped burn food warehouses.
But Angel shook his head.
“it’s okay. I will remain by your side.”
“really? Don’t you want to fight with your brother over there? I’ll open the door so you can go out if you want.”
“It’s really good.”
Angel’s eyes were serious.
Clearly, at first, he was a person who had a tendency to watch over Ion.
But he was different now.
It’s like he’s looking forward to what he’ll show next.
Apparently, he was against Ian’s performance.
‘Well, it doesn’t matter.’
He was easily beaten by surprise last time. He was not one to be ignored by any knight of the three princes.
It was clear that there was someone worthy of use as a knight.
Ian called for Nathan, who had three bags of luggage larger than him.
“Sir Nathan. Did you take good care of your things?”
“ha ha ha. of course. I went through all of the peacock’s underwear and got everything that would be worth the money.”
“Good job.”
Of course, Ian was also carrying a huge bag next to him.
Important documents and heirlooms of the duke were in the [Subspace Ring].
But he had all the other expensive things.
But Nathan asked, curious.
“Can we not go over there?”
“why? Do you want to fight the peacock?”
“Not that. I think you are giving the most delicious part to the 3rd Prince.”
Nathan’s curiosity was natural.
Even though Ian burned Duke Garcia’s food and occupied the castle. It was said that the achievements would be shared only when the important Duke of Garcia was taken away.
But Ian raised the corners of his lips.
“Do you think I will give in?”
“Is that so too? Then you are my lord.”
Nathan raised an eyebrow in the same way.
*
“Duke! Hurry and avoid it!”
“We will stop this!”
In front of the duke, wounded knights and soldiers came forward.
Although they were able to somehow stop the three princes and knights through their fighting spirit. The duke’s soldiers were pushed back helplessly.
Before long, the wall had been occupied by the royal family, and had been pushed to the point where the castle could be seen behind.
GarcyAh, the peacock’s eyebrows twitched.
“In front, the royal family and the third prince. Behind it was my castle and the 7th Prince. How are you supposed to escape from here?”
“under. .But, Duke…”
Despite the pleas of his vassals, Duke Garcia was determined.
Even so, he was the head of the duke’s family, who said there were only two of them in the country.
Besides, it wasn’t over yet.
‘I got a call from the 1st prince. Just a little… just a little bit more time.’
So Duke Garcia shouted proudly.
“At least I won’t be dragged out by them unsightly.”
“We will be together. dismissal.”
The knights raised their swords in the sight of Duke Garcia.
Even if the last battle was burned down, I could feel the will to defeat the 3 princes.
No, as the Duke of Garcia’s knight, he was going to fight without regret.
“We are Garcia’s knights! Defeat those who defiled Garcia’s estate!”
“Don’t leave a single one alive!”
Garcia’s knights rushed out proudly.
It was the moment when he was about to confront the knights of the 3rd Prince Louis.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
With a violent binge, Garcia’s knights soared.
No, it really flew into the sky.
Surprised by the sight, the 3rd Prince and the royal family almost stopped on the spot.
But there was one that surprised me the most.
Duke Garcia’s eyes widened.
“What is this… what is this…”
He looked back in surprise.
He must have confirmed that their knights were blown away by the bombardment from behind.
just as expected.
fish meal…
Smoke was pouring out of the battery of Duke Garcia’s castle.
Ian Kaistein.
It seems that he had activated the castle’s defense system.
It was the one medicine I had been saving up until now.
After that, the gates of the castle started going up slowly.
Duke Garcia’s eyebrows soared.
“Yeah, you bastard!”
It is Ian and the knights that appear there.
In particular, Ion was smiling brightly enough to reveal his teeth.
And soon the royal treasure sword was directed at Duke Garcia.
“Check mate.”
Duke Garcia’s face hardened more than ever.
