I want to be the Grand Duke of the Abyss

Chapter 125 Milan Fortress
What even more stunned Earl Locke in the city was that the killed cavalry began to shake strangely.

In just one breath, all the pieces of flesh on his body fell off, leaving only a lone skeleton standing up and rushing towards the enemy along with the black-armored warriors.

"Your Highness! This-!"

Count Locke's pupils were filled with fear, and he quickly turned his head to ask Brooks who was standing aside.

"Uncle Locke."

"This is divine magic! It is the power of gods! It is a gift from a great existence!"

Brooks's eyes flashed fiercely, and he said with a hint of determination.

Although all the soldiers under the city were citizens of the Uso Kingdom, since they had rebelled against the enemy, they would of course be severely punished.

Only by completely defeating these loyal supporters of Batista can he achieve the great cause of restoring the country!
Under the surprise attack of the undead warriors and the continuous bombardment of spells, the cavalry brigade was quickly slaughtered.

The soldiers who survived by chance also lost their fighting spirit, abandoned their helmets and armor one after another, and fled around the battlefield like headless flies.

As the commander-in-chief, the silver-armored general saw this bloody and ferocious scene, a shock of horror surged into his brain, and what little sense he had left was gone.

"Kill them! Quick, kill them for me!"

In panic, the silver-armored general retreated while shouting orders for the infantry to come forward to support.But how can these zero-level and first-level mortals be the opponents of the undead warriors?
Countless dark figures rushed into the square formation, just like tigers descending from the mountain. Soon, the battlefield was filled with corpses of palace soldiers.

Skeleton warriors stood up with knives in hand, joining the undead army's camp without fear of death.

Under the continuous offensive of the undead army like a tide, the number of infantry deaths began to increase sharply, and the size of each square formation was quickly reduced.

Watching their comrades die tragically one after another at the hands of this weird thing, the soldiers were finally dominated by fear.

Their formerly full-blooded faces were pale, their expressions were filled with fear, and their morale had dropped to the abyss.

The infantry camp collapsed faster than the torture time experienced by the cavalry.

Even the silver-armored general was killed by the undead warrior at some point.

Seeing this, everyone in the city quickly ordered the city gates to be opened.

The Rock County soldiers rushed out one by one, shouting and chasing the fleeing enemy troops. However, they were shocked to the point of being numb in their hearts by the fearless skeleton soldiers.

At this point, the defeat of the palace army has been determined.

Rock County soldiers pursued the prisoners until sunset before escorting the prisoners back to the city.

This battle basically wiped out the largest group of troops in the palace.

A total of more than [-] cavalry and [-] infantry were killed, and nearly [-] were captured!
Until the soldiers finished cleaning the battlefield and returned to the city, everyone in Rock County still couldn't contain their excitement.

A legion commander's eyes were full of excitement, and he secretly asked Count Locke:

"My Lord Earl, have you known for a long time that the royal family has such a top-secret trump card?"

Earl Locke was stunned when he heard this, and Brooks' words came to mind again:

"This is the power of gods! It is a gift from a great existence."

Due to the victory yesterday, the residents of the city who had been besieged for a long time began to celebrate that they had escaped disaster, and the streets and alleys were filled with commotion.

And I don’t know when, rumors started popping up all over the city that their Crown Prince Brooks had appeared in Rock County.

Not only did he gain the support of the Lionheart Empire, he was also chosen by the gods who had been secretly protecting the kingdom. He received the blessing of a great being and possessed various magical powers.

Due to Earl Locke's own political leanings, the hearts of the people in the territory were closer to the old king's side. As soon as this rumor spread, it quickly fermented in the city of Elu.

Of course, Brooks found someone to spread the rumor.Not only that, under the advice of Earl Locke and Collins, Eru City also sent a large number of soldiers to spread the news to other counties except the royal capital.

After this battle, not only can those wavering forces immediately take sides, but at least some lords who are still hesitating can continue to wait and see, so as not to join Batista's camp prematurely.

Brooks discussed with Collins and Earl Locke that because the palace coup happened so suddenly, many lords were far away from the king's capital and had no time to react.

Brooks did not want to turn these lords into opponents.

Otherwise, if they are all involved, even if he can win the war with the help of Osiris, in the end the entire Uso Kingdom's lords will be wiped out and severely damaged.

For the Uso Kingdom, it is feared that it will languish for more than ten years. This is not the result that a mature ruler wants.

Brooks does not want to see this result. He is now only thinking about how to preserve the strength of the kingdom as much as possible, eliminate the rebellion as soon as possible, and restore domestic order.

Secondly, how to fulfill the conditions of agreeing to Osiris and lick this terrifying existence well and comfortably.

Therefore, among the [-] captured soldiers, Brooks directly sacrificed those who were seriously injured or whose limbs were severely mutilated.

It not only satisfied Lord Osiris's need for the sacrificial ceremony, but also achieved a shocking effect.

a few days later.

The city of Milan, located near the royal capital, is bathed in the dark night.

This is the closest small town from Rock County to the Royal Capital, and it is also the gateway fortress guarding the Royal Capital.

The dark sky was covered by thick clouds, even the stars in the sky were obscured, making the environment even darker.

Under the night, a huge army was moving quickly, and soon passed through the valleys on both sides and arrived at the city of Milan.

"He who comes is stopped! Which legion are you?"

Seeing the crowd of people under the city, the city gate guard instantly became vigilant.

'With so many people, could it be that the attack on Rock County is over? '

The black-armored knight below paused for a moment and then let out a silver-armored general from the middle. He rode on a tall horse and shouted loudly to the top:

"I am Douglas, commander of the Third Regiment of the Royal Guards. There are changes in the expedition to Rock County. I need to rush back to the Royal Capital overnight. Open the city gate as soon as possible!"

The city guard looked down and saw the familiar face of the other party.

That's right!

He remembered this legion commander.

Half a month ago, the opponent had just led his army through the city of Milan to support the team that conquered Rock County.But why did he return so quickly? Isn't Rock County quite capable of fighting?

Although he was puzzled, the city guard breathed a sigh of relief.

He could see clearly by the firelight just now that the other party was in a very normal state and did not appear to be under any threat.

"Please wait!"

He quickly ordered the city gates to be opened to allow the army to enter the city.
