Mount and Blade

At this moment, the Archduke's guards were getting closer and closer. Dick looked at Edward and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I will trust you for now, but if I find out that you have any evil intentions, I will not let you go."

"You, go and send a message to the family, and ask the old man to quickly organize the old nobles to gather some troops and secretly control Norudkahuati! Otherwise, he will wait to collect the body for me!!" Dick quickly asked his subordinates to trust him. The adjutant went to deliver a message to the Olsen family.

Edward nodded in approval, "Wise choice. When Gulenberudo takes the position of Grand Duke, you will be the primary hero!"

"Damn it, a guy who can even betray his own father should stop doing this. It's better to think about how to save his life."

"If I were you, I wouldn't feel sorry for my father because of a woman." Dick cursed angrily.

Although Edward's political analysis was very sharp and logical, his style of conduct really made Dick uncomfortable since he was a child.

"Hmph, what do you know?" Edward sneered, "That old guy has never regarded me as a son. In his eyes, he only has power. And I am just a tool for him to fight for power and interests."

Dick curled his lips disdainfully, "No matter what, betrayal is betrayal. But now that we are cooperating, let's solve the immediate difficulties first. Those guards are not easy to deal with."

Edward's eyes flashed, "Don't worry, I have already made arrangements. The supplies and manpower supported by Lord Earl will be in place soon. Coupled with the strength of your family, as long as we use our tactics properly, we will be able to withstand it for a while. Moreover, Gu Lumberdo will not sit idly by and ignore it. If he receives my secret letter, he will definitely be making secret preparations."

At this moment, a cloud of dust rose in the distance. It was Grant's heavily armed spear guards sent by the Archduke! !

Dick clenched the sword in his hand, "I hope so, otherwise we will all die without a burial today!" Everyone stood ready for the upcoming battle.

"Then let us resist the Archduke's attack first, and then plan the follow-up. Exposed horse-riding battles on the streets are not good for us. Let's use the Yohansen family's mansion to engage in guerrilla warfare to delay time!!" Edward immediately He dismounted to prepare for battle and let the war horse run to the manor.

"I'm sorry, my lord."

If they want the Yohansen family not to be involved in the struggle for power, then the earl and the others must pretend to be held hostage by Edward.

The private soldiers maintained by the Earl's Mansion were also in place at this time, ready to be dispatched by Edward at any time.

Everyone quickly rushed into the mansion and each found a favorable position to hide. Dick and his men dismounted and stood on the side of the gate, preparing to meet the enemy, staring closely at the enemy approaching outside the door. Edward led a few men around to the flank, preparing for a surprise attack.

The spear guards gradually approached, and there were nearly a hundred people hearing the footsteps. When he saw the target coming to arrest rushing into the mansion, he immediately quickened his pace. The centurion at the head shouted: "On the order of the Archduke, capture the traitor Edward Halvorsen!"

Then they shouted loudly and rushed to the door of Yohansen's house. Just as they were about to rush into the mansion, Dick and his men suddenly drew a cold light from the long sword in their hands, instantly cutting off several spears and killing several people. Guards soldiers. At the same time, Edward and others rushed out from the flank, and the shouts of killing echoed throughout the mansion.

However, the Grand Duke's guards were well-trained and quickly adjusted, and the two sides fell into a bitter battle.

"...When will General Kirsten arrive with the Guards?" Dick gasped.

"Don't expect too early. This is just the first wave of attacks. Our top priority right now is to gather soldiers from various forces in the city." Edward looked into the distance vigilantly, always watching to see if anyone from the group of guards ran out to report the news. .

"Hey, if you weren't prepared to rebel at all, I would regret listening to you." Dick said complainingly. Although Grant is a martial artist, as the eldest son of an established aristocratic family who has been doing business for a long time and knows how to invest in the next person in power, his force value and psychological endurance are still far inferior to Edward's. Such a tragic battle has already made him pale. .

Edward was already accustomed to such scenes of bloodshed. As a Grant man with pure blood, the bloodthirst engraved in his bones was indelible.

However, the current battle, in which the strength and equipment of the two sides are quite disparate, also makes Edward pray silently in his heart, hoping that Gulenberudo can receive the letter eagle at the Fire Dragon's Lair, and that General Kirstin can arrive in time. support.

After all, in the face of power, the battle between royal families has never been about family affection; this showdown with the Grand Duke is destined to be a life-and-death contest.

.........

Just when Edward and Dick had a bloody fight with the Grand Duke's personal guards at the Yohansen house, Grand Duke He Kun had already eliminated all the guards and mercenaries in the Halvorsen family.

...No armor can withstand the lethality of crossbows, let alone a battle with such a huge disparity between the two sides.

Madwuxiu followed the Grand Duke He Kun on his horse.

"...still haven't found that damn slut?"

"Not yet, Your Majesty." Madwu Xiu replied respectfully.

Grand Duke He Kun frowned, his twisted face full of anger, "No matter what method is used, that woman must be found."

"Yes." Madwuxiu went to do it immediately. Having been a 'shadow' in Norudkahuati for so many years, he already knew the approximate location of the Halvorsen family's secret room.

At this time, Furda had already hidden in the underground secret room of the Halvorsen family with the housekeeper.

As a shipping family, how could the Halvorsen family not have any means of escape? Everything was to avoid becoming a victim of politics. After all, as long as there was a starting capital, it didn't matter who you worked for? As long as you were alive, there would always be a day to make a comeback.

.........

At the same time, the eagle headed for the ice-free port successfully arrived at its destination. After receiving the news, the agent immediately gathered manpower and supplies, prepared a small and medium-sized sailing speedboat with a maximum speed of 20 knots, and dispatched a private guard at the exit of the secret room to welcome Edward and the former head of the Halvorsen family at any time.

And the confidant who went to deliver the letter to General Kirstin had also arrived at the general's tent, and a storm that would determine the fate of the Principality of Grant was about to break out.

.........

At this time, at the Johansen family, Edward seized the opportunity and rushed to the centurion of the guard. After several rounds of fighting, he swung his sword and cut off the opponent's head, and took the opponent's spear.

"Quick! Go find the Grand Duke!" Seeing that the situation was not good, several of the guards immediately formed a team to break through, preparing to let the fastest soldiers in the team go to inform the Grand Duke.

"Don't let him run away!" Dick shouted. Although he was still frightened, he was still on guard against the guards who were trying to break through him.

Although he wanted to intercept the trapped soldier, his retreating steps had betrayed him.

"Of course I know!" Edward used the spear in his hand to deal with several guards. These iron-like spearmen only had no plate armor and chain mail above their shoulders, so they had to accurately smash the fragile tissues in their throats and eyes.

Fortunately, Edward was a master of guns, and these spearmen were unlucky to run into him.

Edward suddenly gathered his strength, and the sweat on his golden hair fell off. With his slender limbs, he instantly used the nearly two-meter-long spear in his hand as a javelin and shot it out gorgeously.

"Bang... Puff--!" The sound of the spear breaking through the armor and piercing the flesh exploded in Dick's ears. Then, the guard soldier whose chest armor was almost pierced fell on Dick with his limbs stiff.

The blood that continued to spread completely stained Dick's pants. He really regretted not wrapping himself like a tin can before going out today.

Dick pushed the corpse on him away with disgust, stood up and complained: "Damn it, I got dirty... It's so uncomfortable."

With Edward and Dick's encirclement, the fight in the mansion ended quickly. The guards were wiped out, and the soldiers under Edward and Dick were not optimistic. Most of them could not fight again.
