There are many ruthless bosses living in my territory

Chris propped himself up and spat the blood foam in his mouth to the side.

still have a chance! ! !

My Lord, he once said that if a weak person wants to defeat a strong person, he must seize the moment when the other person is relaxed and launch a fatal attack.

Now that the enemy hasn't killed him directly, he still has a chance, and he must seize it!

The blood-stained hands gripped the hilt of the sword again.

Chris launched the final charge.

"Ah~~~~"

Watching the strategyless charge, Buck's face was filled with boredom.

"Is this all you have left of your boring resistance?"

He swung the halberd with both hands, and the blade of the halberd pierced Chris's left abdomen like a poisonous snake.

The halberd nailed Chris to the ground like a nail.

Chaplin and others who had worked with Chris for many years could not help but turn their heads away when they saw this tragic scene. On the contrary, the nobles on Duke Dick's side loudly mocked Chris for overestimating his own abilities.

"Look at that, that guy can hardly hold the sword."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, this wound will kill him in a while."

“This is what happens when you don’t recognize yourself.”

Buck casually held the halberd in one hand and picked his ears with the other.

"Bleed to death as the price for challenging me."

The next second, his right hand left the halberd.

Suddenly, a blood-red aura burst out from Chris's body, like the last rays of light at dusk.

He clenched his loose hands, and his legs instantly drove his body to rotate. The two-handed sword was covered with a layer of blood-red light and smashed towards Buck, who had his eyes wide open.

what? !

He can move even with that kind of injury? Doesn't it hurt?!

Chris's eyes, which were almost closed, saw the shock in Buck's eyes.

A warm current surged in his heart.

My Lord, I have used my life to protect your dignity and honor!!!

At this moment, Buck's shocked expression suddenly changed.

"I lied to you."

He also burst into blood and anger, and took a step into Chris's arms.

The heavy fist filled with blood and energy hit Chris's face.

Broken, everything is broken.

This time, Chris fell to the ground completely powerless.

"You think I can't see what you're up to?"

"Those untouchables had the same idea as you, thinking they could exchange their lives for mine."

"I showed you the flaw just now on purpose."

Buck grabbed the halberd again, shook off most of the blood on it, and pointed the blade at Chris's head.

He licked the corners of his mouth.

"I won't give you the chance to surprise me again this time."

Chris lay on the ground, his eyelids struggling weakly to see the scene in front of him clearly.

He saw Buck leap up and point the halberd in his hand at his head like a javelin.

…Sir, I’m sorry, I’m a useless person.

The only light in the field of vision gradually disappeared.

Chris was waiting for death to come, but instead of feeling the pain of being pierced through the head by a halberd, he felt a comfortable warm current flowing through his body.

It feels so good... the pain seems to have disappeared.

Did he go to heaven?

Can he go to heaven if he can't even defend the dignity of the people he serves?

"Liszt! You! Why are you here?!"

Lord Lister?!

Chris suddenly opened his eyes and saw that the halberd blade in front of him was held by a flawless hand, and the owner of that hand was Lister.

"Buck, why are you so flustered?"

Lister casually threw the halberd back to Buck.

"I am a baron appointed by Grand Duke Bai Yue, so it is normal for me to appear in the Noble Guards."

Buck grasped the halberd again and glanced at Lister's hand.

His halberd was very sharp. Just now, Liszt stopped the momentum of the halberd with his hand, and there was no scratch on his palm...

"Liszt! This is a life-and-death duel between nobles!"

"You have no right to interfere in a duel!"

Indeed… Chris lay on the ground, with countless thoughts flashing through his mind.

A life-and-death duel between nobles is sacred and must not be prevented except under special circumstances.

Now Lord Lister has used unknown means to save his life, which is a serious violation of the Code and Etiquette.

However, it is not surprising that he would do such a thing.

I really wanted to get up and advise him that it would be impossible to hide the fact that he had been rescued in the presence of hostile nobles from the Inspector. According to the Code, he would be flogged, and Buck would be the executor.

In that case, even if the adult doesn't die, he will be seriously injured.

No! I still have to get up and give advice. Even if I save him now, he will die. It is not worth it for you to save him.

Chris, who was ready to die, trembled and tried to get up, but the wound in his abdomen was too severe and he couldn't get up at all.

"Chris, just lie there and don't move."

Lister scolded casually, and the green light coming out from his palm had been repairing Chris's injured abdomen.

"Buck, let's not talk about how you, as a collateral noble, are so rude to the nobles."

"Don't you know whether the circumstances of this life-and-death duel are special?"

Buck's eyelids twitched and he pretended to look gloomy.

"What are you talking about?"

"You should ask the hourglass in your armor for the answer to this question."

Liszt's smile was warm, and combined with the tone and content of his words, Buck felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"I'll tell you one more thing. The time has been advanced."

Suddenly, a golden column of holy light shot up into the sky, and an old and powerful voice spread throughout the city.

"Duke Ayler has declared a duchy war against Duke Dick."

"As the Archbishop of the Temple, I declare that war has been declared, and I will serve as the supervisor to monitor all participants!"

This sound made Chaplin, Chris and other members of the Noble Guards extremely confused, and their brains were a little unable to process it.

Duchy War? A war between dukes is about to happen?!

Or was it the war started by the new Duke of Elle? !

"Buck, the reason I'm here is to clip Duke Dick's wings."

"Oh, by the way, I also need to test my newfound abilities."

Lister drew out the Zanpakuto from his waist and pressed four fingers of his left hand on the blade.

The next moment, golden spiritual pressure burst out from his body.

"Set the order, kingship!"

Chapter 29: The Sword of Kingship

Under Buck's gaze, the slightly curved single-edged sword suddenly changed shape.

The sword body turned into a straight double-edged sword, with complex golden patterns on it, as if the mountains and rivers were condensed into the patterns.

These golden patterns seemed to flow, converging into the Chinese character "王" below the sword guard.

The sword guard is dark gold, decorated with five-colored jewels, and the hilt is black with gold patterns inlaid on it.

What a magnificent and beautiful sword.

That must be something only the emperor can have.

When the tip of the "Sword of Kingship" was pointed at Buck, he suddenly felt panic.

It was like being sentenced to death by a noble emperor.

"No! Impossible!"

"What are you talking about impossible?"

Lister took a step forward, with the tip of his sword pointing directly at Buck's throat.

Buck swung the sword away in panic, and all the blood and energy in his body was mobilized.

Blood blade!

His halberd was covered with a layer of flowing bright red patterns, and the sound of the halberd breaking through the air became much smaller.

This is a blood enchantment skill that can greatly enhance the power of weapons.

"Drink!"

Buck's attack, mixed with fear, hit Lister's blade.

When he heard Lister's groan, he immediately exclaimed in ecstasy.

"Hahahaha! As expected, that's all you can do!"

"So what if the weapon can be transformed? How could you possibly defeat me, a freak like you who doesn't even cultivate your blood and energy?!"

Lister was caught in a dilemma and seemed to be dealing with Buck's attack very reluctantly.

"Die! Die!"

"I've been annoyed with you for a long time. You actually gave up the right to inherit the Dukedom that no one else would ever get."

"You're just a freak! A stupid outlier!"

Buck raised the halberd and smashed it down again. This time, Lister almost failed to block it. The halberd slipped from the side and almost hit his body.

Oops!

Chaplin picked up his two-handed sword in panic.

We must protect the Duke's brother!

"late!"

"Let me end your sad life!"

The halberd spun, and the poisonous snake with bared fangs bit towards Lister's head.

"call out!"

A sound of breaking through the air was heard, and Buck looked blankly at "Lister" whose figure faded after being hit in the head.

"Are you happy? I lied to you."
