After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

Although they are slightly lacking in top-level individual combat power, the combat effectiveness of the elite armies of this world is still something that even the demon leaders have to be wary of.

In the face of such combat power, even high-level monsters are not enough.

Standing behind the formation, Brian looked at the increasingly weak Alicia with smugness:

"Hmph, a mere brainless monster, yet she dared to rebel against this Duke. She deserves it! I'll intensify my efforts, starting with her. I'm determined to wipe out the Brave Aize's followers one by one!"

"Yes!"

One sword, another sword, and another sword.

Alicia, who was in constant pain, finally couldn't maintain her breath attack.

He could only give up temporarily, flapped his wings, and flew up in the limited space inside the shield, ready to kill the most troublesome group of Duke's guards first.

However, this was a fatal mistake.

The magicians who were freed from the attack began to chant almost immediately.

Unlike the simple spell just cast for the sake of speed, during the more than ten seconds of chanting, astonishing magical power gathered between them.

Then, the guards exchanged glances and stepped back to create some distance.

Almost at this moment, a huge beam of light burst out and hit Alicia directly. A violent explosion immediately broke out in the air.

The air was thick with smoke and the view was pitch black.

As the scene gradually became clearer, the outcome of the battle became apparent.

The giant dragon transformed by the pink-haired girl fell to the messy ground with scars all over its body.

Exhausted, barely breathing, and unable to continue fighting.

Chapter 140 The new king died before his career was halfway established

The huge body of the dragon fell to the ground. The transformation process that had been seen before was repeated in reverse, as if it were played in reverse. Alicia appeared there again as a pink-haired girl.

Panting and sweating, he lay on the ground, groaning weakly from time to time, but unable to move.

He could only stare at Brian not far away with resentful eyes.

This, in turn, made the Duke even more proud:

"You deserve it, you monster! This is the price for crossing me. Do it!"

"Yes!"

The magicians began to gather magic power again.

Energy even more astonishing than before began to gather in the center of their formation, and a huge magic circle also emerged on the ground.

This time, no matter what Alicia was, she would be blown to ashes.

It was also at this moment that the magic shield covering the entire mansion suddenly moved.

"……what?"

Brian looked up in surprise.

All I saw was a wall of light like a glowing sky rapidly fading away, like solid ice sublimating directly in high temperature, turning into a point of light and disappearing into the air.

boom! ! ! !

Almost at the same time, a huge fireball as big as a meteorite accurately hit the array formed by the magicians, catching them off guard as they were trying their best to deal with Alicia.

High temperature, impact, and explosion all occurred at the same time, instantly blowing several people to ashes, without them even having the chance to scream.

Brian, who was not far away, was also blown away by the aftermath of the explosion.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

He screamed, spun around, hit the wall of the house, and slid to the ground.

He felt dizzy and almost died on the spot.

"Master Brian!"

The guards rushed over and helped him up from the ground.

“What…what happened——”

Brian was dizzy and his mind was blank.

Before he could understand what was happening, heavy and orderly footsteps came from all directions.

A large number of fully armed guards poured into Noble Street and quickly surrounded the already dilapidated mansion.

The shining weapons were pointed in unison at Brian and his remaining guards.

On their armor and flags, the patterns of the Edgar family are clearly visible.

It was the city's original defense force, the military force controlled by Lord Sheen Edgar.

Relying on the orders of the puppet Sheen, Brian has confined them to the military camp in the corner of the city for the past few days, strictly prohibiting them from moving around freely.

But no further action was taken.

After all, according to the original plan, after the orcs occupied the city, these soldiers who were originally guarding the place would be needed to take the blame.

After his army was defeated by the orcs, Brian had just thought about mobilizing this force as his last trump card.

As a result, before I had the chance to put it into practice, they actually came to me at this time.

This situation made Brian extremely angry.

He pushed aside his guards and shouted at them:

"What are you doing? Are you trying to rebel?"

"That's what I said."

A familiar voice sounded.

Under Brian's surprised gaze, several guards came out pushing a wheelchair.

Sean, who hadn't fully recovered yet, sat there, staring at Brian with a cold expression:

"Duke Brian, you've occupied my city and left my home in this state. Isn't this a bit disgraceful? If you're going to rebel, you're rebelling against the kingdom and humanity first!"

"Why would you...tsk——"

Brian realized something and looked at Alicia lying on the ground with anger.

be cheated.

This damn monster's intention was not to assassinate me.

The flaws in his words were deliberately revealed - I'm afraid even this was the idea of that bastard Aize.

The purpose was to attract all his attention here so that Sheen could take the opportunity to establish contact with his subordinates.

In fact, under Aize's command, several people sneaked into the city.

Alicia used her mimicry ability to transform herself into an officer and trick the city gate into opening.

Constantine and several elite knights led by him pretended to be lightly wounded soldiers, and carried Sheen, who was lying on a stretcher and disguised as a seriously injured soldier, in.

Then, Alicia went to carry out the "assassination" and deliberately exposed herself, thereby attracting as many of Brian's forces left in the city as possible to the lord's mansion.

They took the opportunity to carry Sheen and make contact with their subordinates.

Taking advantage of Brian's unprecedented weakness, he recaptured the town in one fell swoop.

Miscalculated.

Brian was extremely upset.

He had never considered the possibility of Sheen waking up, so he missed this opportunity.

You have to know that the potion Sheen took was specially made by Lufast, and it cannot be cured without a special antidote.

Even if Rufus surrendered and was willing to help Aize with the supplies, it would be impossible to gather the required materials in such a remote mountain village in such a short period of time.

Who would have thought that Villian could make something like this using half-baked materials in just one night?

Xien sneered and continued:

"Just now, my men have regained control of the city gate. Now, the brave Aize and his knights are rushing here. You are finished! Lay down your weapons and surrender immediately!"

Cold sweat ran down Brian's cheeks.

If what Sheen said is true, then he is really finished now... right?

not yet.

Relying on the last card in his hand, he planned to struggle again.

So, after calming down a little and staying calm, he opened his voice and shouted at the guards surrounding the house:

"Guards of the Edgar family, listen up! You've been deceived! The Viscount Edgar you have here is a fake! He's a Faceless Man from the demon clan, transformed into a demon, trying to cooperate with the orcs to seize this city!"

A standard bite back.

"The evidence is, the real Viscount Edgar is here!"

After saying that, Brian clapped his hands.

From the dilapidated mansion, another Sheen—a puppet in Sheen's appearance—walked out.

Since Rufus, the creator and controller, is not here, no one can directly access and perform precise control.

The puppet can only act according to its own rules, complete some basic instructions, and answer some simple questions.

Doesn't look very smart.

If they really engage in a verbal battle, he will never be a match for the real Sheen.

But with the mentality of trying everything possible, Brian no longer had any concerns.

After exhausting his life's skills in incitement and oratory, he instantly constructed a perfect speech in his mind.

The show started:

"Listen, this is the real Viscount Sheen Edgar! He was poisoned by the demons' treacherous scheme and is still somewhat delirious. For the sake of Tafia, the kingdom, and humanity, you must not..."

Swah——

A black shadow and a flash of sword light.

The puppet Sheen was cut in two by a single sword.

It split in the middle of its body and fell to the sides like a split pea pod, hitting the ground.

It lost its original human appearance and turned into a pool of mud.

The one who struck the blow was Constantine.

When Sheen was confronting Brian just now, he had already quietly moved forward to the roof of the house.

For this moment.

In this case, there is certainly no way that Sheen can lose to Bryan in terms of talking nonsense.

But Aize’s principle has always been to never talk if you can take action.

What's more, there is a large army of orcs outside the city, eyeing them covetously. There is no time for a quarrel in front of the battle.

That's why this was arranged.

In short, with the gray-haired mercenary's sword, Brian's last trump card was gone, and the rhetoric he had constructed in his mind instantly became worthless and was completely forgotten.

He was completely numb and his expression finally couldn't hold back anymore, he collapsed limply to the ground.

It was also at this time that the sound of horse hooves came from afar.

All the knights led by Aize, including several brave warriors such as Uriel, arrived at the scene.

Two hundred holy war knights belonging to the church and three genuine heroes.

Even if Brian succeeds in inciting rebellion with such combat power, it will be extremely difficult to deal with it.

Not to mention the current situation where I am almost alone.

After realizing this, he sat on the ground.
