Chapter 154: Gone mad?
“This, this is impossible!” The old man beside Duke Falexis was dumbfounded, looking at the ninety thousand troops in the sky, feeling a hint of despair. When did they appear there? Even Duke Falexis didn’t know.
Tyr’s mind was blank. What on earth was happening? The clashes between Milik and Cyril constantly revealed hidden cards to reverse the situation. However, each time caught them off guard, especially the sudden appearance of these ambush troops from Milik. Obviously, they came from other massive teleportation arrays. Coupled with the previous gigantic teleportation array, Milik had secretly prepared four this time!
Just one of them could bankrupt the wealthiest overnight, and maintaining four simultaneously would likely strip Milik of a considerable amount of resources.
In this way, a problem arises.
So much resource consumption, such a grand spectacle, but in the end, there was no intention to attack the Duke’s mansion, only to take away the Oracle of Books, this intermediate holy artifact.
The resources consumed by Milik probably exceed that of an intermediate holy artifact, but in the end, it was only to reclaim it, which obviously holds intriguing secrets.
In this matter, Tyr knows, Nicholas knows, and Duke Falexis naturally can see it too.
But no one exposes it, because it’s not yet the time.
“How about it, Your Grace? Although I can’t win, we can still manage, right?” Daven laughed heartily as the supreme commander stepped out from behind his ninety thousand troops, appearing by Daven’s side in the next moment.
“Daven, well done. Holding off Laogeri benefits us greatly as well,” responded the highest commander.
“Yeah,” Daven glanced at Laogeri, who was constantly suppressing the violent power in the sky, and replied.
“Right now, over in Ries, they should be held back by that guy Kazanli’s beast tide. The only remaining demigod is Danmu, who was promoted just over a decade ago.”
“It’s nothing to fear,” the commander sneered. Although he didn’t know where Danmu had gone, even if such a character emerged, they would only become souls under his blade. When he was crowned emperor, he was known as the “Emperor of Blades.” Now a demigod, his swordsmanship had become even more refined. Many demigods had been injured under his command. Even Daven could only match him in battle. Only creatures like Laogeri, who had lingered in the demigod realm for thousands of years, could pose a threat to them.
However, Daven’s appearance clearly threw Laogeri into disarray. This was also Milik’s idea from above, and its effect was significant. Laogeri was easily deceived into the trap.
Originally, the first batch of troops led by Daven was meant to hold Laogeri in check, while also checking if the Duke’s mansion had left any tricks behind.
Under Daven’s efforts, the goals were achieved perfectly. Not only did they trap Laogeri, but they also exposed the Duke’s mansion’s bottom line. Now, with absolute power descending, the Duke’s mansion will have no other choice.
“Although it’s been said several times, I’ll say it again.”
“Hand over the Oracle Book!” Daven squinted his eyes slightly, issuing a final ultimatum to the still composed and calm Duke, knowing that if the other party continued to stubbornly resist, force would have to be used.
“Hehehe, hahaha!” However, the sudden burst of laughter from Duke Falexis left everyone, including the two demigods, astonished. One, because they had never seen Duke Falexis, who was always called the wise one, undergo such an emotional change, and two, because they were puzzled by how the other party could laugh at such a moment.
They guessed that Duke Falexis probably had an ace up his sleeve, but in the face of the absolute power of ninety thousand troops, what use was adding a few more miscellaneous forces? Even if the Duke’s mansion suddenly produced one or two deities, what good would it do? The other armies of the kingdom wouldn’t come here; not only is the distance vast, but every move of theirs is being closely monitored by the vigilant Milik Kingdom. Therefore, the possibility of a large influx of reinforcements from the kingdom is impossible. The private army of the Duke’s mansion, even at its maximum strength, is mostly here, with a significant portion deployed to defend against the beast tide. Hence, the disparity is evident!
Duke Falexis had no reason to laugh like that. Could he have gone mad? Impossible. Even if the world were to collapse, Falexis would not go mad. Daven was very clear on this point. Though this man was only in his hundreds, he possessed a chilling wisdom.
At the next moment, it wouldn’t be surprising if all sorts of extraordinary things spewed forth from this man’s mouth. Daven and the others couldn’t help but squint slightly, eager to hear what tricks this man named Falexis still had up his sleeve!
