There are many ruthless bosses living in my territory

In a few minutes he will meet the Archbishop, and then they will go to the inner city together and announce the start of the Duchy War in front of the inner city.

Um?What about people?

Duke Dick glanced at the church not far away. Where was the archbishop who had given him a lot of benefits to come to Baiyue City?

"Kiki, Marley, go check it out."

Duke Dick's two sons were about to go to the church after receiving the order when a middle-aged man in butler's clothes came up to them and saluted respectfully.

"Your Excellency the Duke, the Archbishop is waiting for you at the South Gate."

? ? ? ? ?

and many more!

How did you know the Archbishop was coming?

The Archbishop has promised that when he comes, he will try to keep a low profile and not let you know!

what happened? !

Duke Dick and his two sons suddenly had a very bad feeling.

"Ahhh, I get it. Let's go quickly. We can't keep the archbishop waiting for too long."

The big red beard shuddered.

Dick felt a cold sweat on his back.

How did the plan suddenly go awry? What on earth was the Archbishop doing?

No...it's okay, as long as the Eler family is not on guard, he can still achieve his goal.

Yes! The elite of the 100 noble guards of the Eiler family were in the outer city. They couldn't possibly detect his thoughts!

Duke Dick took out his handkerchief and wiped his fat face.

Sweat left obvious stains on it.

"It's... a little hot."

The middle-aged butler sent by Melfu laughed.

"Don't worry, Your Excellency the Duke. Winter will soon arrive, and you won't feel the heat then."

"In the winter here, sweat freezes into ice."

······

If you can’t speak, don’t speak!

Duke Dick became even more uncertain. Why did this butler dare to speak to him like that?

He wanted to leave and see what was going on, but the visiting card had already been sent out. If he did not attend the banquet, he would be breaking his promise, especially to a duke of the same class.

Will he still be able to survive in the Kingdom of Rennes from now on?

Follow Norman's example and retire early and pass on the title to your children?

Dick pulled up his collar beneath his double chin and straightened himself.

"let's go!"

The butler in front started to jog, and Duke Dick subconsciously sped up as well.

No matter! Even if the plan deviates, it won’t deviate that much!

The final winner was still him, Barr Dick!

then……

When Duke Dick and his men were only a hundred meters away from the south gate of the inner city, he found that there were no civilians around, and -

"Grand Duke Dick, welcome to White Moon City."

At the city gate, knights in heavy armor stood in a row behind Merv Eller.

At this time, Melv was wearing a noble light armor and an exquisite swift sword at her waist.

Those sky-blue eyes were filled with confidence, as if everything was under her control.

!!!

"Melve! What are you doing?!"

"Is this how you treat your guests?!"

Duke Dick's heart was in his throat, and his two sons looked at a loss.

No one expected that the Eiler family would be waiting for them at the city gate fully armed.

Even the Archbishop is on their side?!

"guest?"

Melv put one hand on her waist, not trying to hide the playful look on her face.

"A real guest wouldn't contact the Archbishop secretly."

She turned to look at the archbishop standing in the corner, dressed in solemn and luxurious clothes.

The archbishop was trembling at this moment, just because there was a white-haired old man in a simple robe standing next to him.

"Your Excellency the Archbishop, I am declaring a duchy war against Duke Dick."

"Now both of us meet the requirement of bringing more than 100 elite soldiers, and we are on a 'fair and just' ground."

"You won't refuse."

The archbishop glanced at the old man next to him who was the same age as him. His scarlet eyes were simply challenging his endurance.

"louder please."

These plain words hit the archbishop like a hammer in the heart.

He immediately burst out with holy light, and the beam of light shot straight into the sky.

"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!"

The light shines on the battlefield that is about to begin.

One side is full of energy, the other side is like a bereaved family.

Duke Dick began to doubt his life.

How could this be?

Shouldn't he have met with the Archbishop first? Shouldn't he have declared war on the enemy first? Shouldn't he have gained the upper hand in morale first?

Which part went wrong? !

Chapter 31 The next step

Duke Dick never expected that Lister Eller, known as the Freak Young Master, whom he had never cared about, would accurately intercept his plan.

You want to find the Archbishop? Then we'll find him first.

You want to start a duchy war? Then we'll declare war first.

You want to attack us when we are in a bad state? Then we will gather our strength and mess with your mentality first.

Haha, I didn't expect that.

Surprised? Unexpected?

Duke Dick was very surprised and also very surprised.

Didn't you ever think that the turtle caught in the net was actually him?

Melve drew the swift sword from her waist, and used the slender sword as a baton to draw it in the air.

"Throw kerosene!"

Several casters hiding in the surrounding buildings threw out the oil bottles in their hands.

The fire oil infused with arcane energy exploded under the influence of the force, forming an oil rain.

Oops!

Duke Dick did hold up an energy shield to block the kerosene, but all the slippery kerosene flowed onto the ground.

The horse, which was already struggling to support him, suddenly did a split and squealed like a pig.

Damn it! This is too much!

"Hahahaha, Grand Duke Dick, do you want to surrender?"

"If you don't surrender, I'm going to set it on fire."

Melve swung the Swift Sword again, and the prepared spellcasters gathered fireballs, and several fireballs illuminated Duke Dick's liver-colored face.

"Do you think you can make a noble duke surrender like this?!"

"Knights serving the Dick family, show your courage!"

"Kiki, Marley!"

Duke Dick and his two sons took out their staffs at the same time.

Puppet making!

More than a dozen rock golems crawled out of the ground and charged towards the knights of the Eler family.

"Stop those casters!"

Duke Dick shouted, and the magicians serving the Dick family in the team used water ball techniques to knock down the flying fireballs and offset each other.

At this time, a large rock puppet crawled up in front of Melv.

Seeing this, Melv burst out with vigorous blood energy, which gradually condensed and turned into a tattoo-like pattern.

Blood Energy Technique, an intermediate blood energy skill passed down from the Eler family, greatly enhances overall abilities at the cost of high consumption.

"Ding!"

Blood blade!

Originally, the puppet could still hinder the blade, but after the blood strengthened the blade, the rock puppet was easily cut like hot oil.

Soon Melv was free of the puppet and rushed towards Duke Dick.

"Melve! Do you think you can beat me?!!"

Duke Dick waved his staff again, and the ground suddenly rose up. A puppet in the shape of an earth wall opened its mouth and shot out dozens of hard earth spears.

Melv leaped into the air, dodging the attack.

"I don't need to be better than you, Bare Dick."

"As long as our Eler family can win."

"Focusing on me is why you fail."

"Haven't you ever wondered why I chose to start a war here?"

"You think I can only throw oil and set off fireballs?"

Duke Dick woke up suddenly.

Earth Fire Technique!

A caster who had been prepared cast a spell in the center where no one on Duke Dick's side had noticed.

The raging flames ignited the oil, and fierce tongues of flame spread outward and engulfed the people who were covered in oil.

Duke Dick's eyes were bloodshot and his red beard curled up due to the heat.

His two sons tried desperately to build an earthen wall to create a barrier, but the earthen wall was mixed with kerosene and could not stop the rapidly expanding sea of ​​​​fire.

Under the high temperature, even a knight with blood and vigor could not last long, not to mention that every breath was burning his lungs.

As long as the people of the Eler family surround outside and wait for the enemy to tire, they can easily defeat the enemy.

Duke Dick was going crazy.
