Chapter 455
As a branch and elder of the Russo family, Duke Russell felt that he was fully obligated to come to the Greenwave province to seek justice.
As expected, after his arrival, everything changed. “Previously, those vassals didn’t dare to voice their anger towards her and only isolated her. They didn’t dare to openly rebel, and they didn’t even dare to raise an army because Duke dybosse was too ruthless. The last time she rebelled, she had suppressed it and killed everyone.
However, after Duke Russell’s arrival, the vassals of Greenwave province seemed to have found their backbone and welcomed him like family.
In the tone of an Easterner, they would say,”Your Excellency the Duke, you’re finally here. We look at you like babies looking at their parents.”
Some Westerners said,”after your Excellency came, the sky of Greenwave province finally saw the sun again and was no longer covered by dark clouds.”
Then, the vassals sent out their troops to follow Duke Russell.
After entering blue wave province, Duke Russell’s Army grew in number and finally gathered up to 250000.
In particular, the branch forces of the Russo family were running around enthusiastically, trying their best to show off in front of Duke Russell, thinking that they might be able to compete for the position of Duke Russo.
At this time, Jade Gold City had really become an isolated island.
........................
A few days before the battle between Shen lang and the Bloody Baron.
In green jade City, less than three hundred miles away from green gold City.
Earl baiting saw this stubborn and proud Duke Russell.
good day, Duke Russell. It’s been more than half a year, and you’ve gotten even better. You’re clearly able to walk out of that shadow. Said count Bai ting.
my old friend Yingluo! Luo su stepped forward and hugged her. “It’s because I realized that some failures aren’t shameful. There are always some people in this world who are especially powerful and ordinary people can’t even catch up to them. And because of their existence, the world may become more beautiful. Every order needs one or more leaders.”
“Your mind is as broad as the ocean.” “Is Queen Medusa doing well?” count Bai ting asked. How’s the situation at the Queen’s city?”
“At this time, millions of soldiers have surrounded the city, waiting for the arrival of Emperor Sauron. However, Queen Medusa has never appeared. She is still like this, unwilling to meet ordinary people like us. of course, I have to tell you the truth. It’s best for mortals not to see her too much, because they will lose their confidence and even their fantasies about any woman. Some people only belong to some people.”
“From what you’ve said, it seems like you won’t stop Emperor Sauron and Queen Medusa from getting together,” Earl Bai ting said.
“A match made in heaven,” although I sent troops to attack the witch Empire, ” Duke Russell said, ” I have no hostility towards Her Majesty. In fact, I am full of admiration. Xilun will always belong to xilun. However, if she can marry Emperor Sauron, that would be the best outcome. In the entire Western world, perhaps only Queen Medusa is worthy of Emperor Sauron.”
Your Excellency, your vision is indeed very broad. You can see deep and far enough. What do you think of the combination between Shen lang and Duke dybosse? ” Earl Bai ting said.
At this moment, Earl Bai ting finally got to the point. Since Sauron could Marry Queen Medusa, why couldn’t dybosa marry Shen lang?
Duke Russell did not directly respond to Earl Bai ting’s words. Instead, he slowly said, ” “Old friend, what kind of person am I in your heart?”
of course you are, ” the Earl said. you are dignified and fair. There are not many people in the world who have a sense of honor like you. I have always regarded you as my role model.
yes, ” Duke Russell said. although my family has left the Russo family, I’ve always regarded myself as a member of the Russo family. However, I’ve never thought of staying in Duke Russo’s mansion. Our two families are one family, and that’s because of our relationship and blood. But in politics, Russo will always be Russo, and Luo su will always be Luo su.”
“What do you mean?” count baiting asked.
Dybas ‘actions have indeed tarnished the Russo family’s honor, ” Duke Russell said. she’s no longer worthy of being Duke Russo.
“Is it because she married Shen lang?” Earl Bai ting asked.
“No!” Duke Russell said, ” I don’t like Sir Shen lang, but I have no right to interfere with her marriage. Although it’s not honorable for her to marry an Eastern man, it’s her freedom. However, after she lost to the Easterner, Shen lang, she was almost killed by him. That was why she knelt down and became Shen Lang’s wife.”
At this point, Duke Russell was very angry. He tried to suppress his anger and said, ” “What is this? This was dragging out an ignoble existence, this was kneeling down and begging for mercy from the alien race. For the sake of her own life, she actually betrayed the entire Russo family to Shen lang. This was dybosa’s crime. She had even gone on a killing spree and handed the Jade Gold City over to the outsiders. This is simply a great humiliation. Not only is she not qualified to be Duke Russo, but she is also not even worthy of being a noble of the Empire.”
As soon as these words came out, Earl baiting found it difficult to refute, because everything the other party said was right.
The reason why she announced that she was truly married to Shen lang was not because of love or marriage, but because she wanted to preserve her life. This was indeed not courageous and not honorable.
yes, ” Duke Russell said. so, as a member of the Russo family, I will not allow such an ugly thing to happen. first of all, I have to lead the Army to take back Jade Gold City from the hands of the outsiders. Next, Duke Dybas has to step down and be replaced by another member of the Russo family.”
“Then, who do you think is suitable to become the new Duke Russo?” count Bai ting asked.
Duke Russell said,’Austin. Although Russo had all sorts of problems, he still had the dignity of a noble. Although he was captured, he has never done anything against the honor of the family.”
Earl Bai ting thought for a while and said,”Duke Russell, we can’t forget one thing. Duke dybosse was already married to Sir Shen lang.”
“My old friend, are you going to be dishonest too?” we all know what an ugly farce that marriage was, ” Duke Russell said. it was a sacrifice by dybosse to defeat Queen Medusa. She was bewitched by the church of the fire god.
“Your Excellency, can we change our way of thinking?” count Bai ting asked.
my old friend, ” Duke Russell said, frowning. I admire your loyalty, so I’m willing to listen.
Earl Bai ting said,”if Duke dybosse surrenders to Sir Shen lang and gives up the Jade Gold City and herself, it will be a humiliation and not a good reputation.” However, if Shen lang was Princess Helen’s younger brother, wouldn’t that make sense? Princess Helen was the most direct descendant of Queen Helen, and she also had the support of the entire South. Wasn’t it only right for Duke dybosse to be loyal to Princess Helen?”
Duke Russell could not help but frown. This reason was very farfetched. However, if one were to ask if this sentence was true, it was definitely true.
Although soran was expected by the public, the throne was still not set. Any noble in the Empire could support anyone who was qualified to inherit the throne.
It was true that it was impossible for the entire Northern noble family to support Princess Helen, but the new noble families in the South all supported Princess Helen. This was a force that could not be ignored. Once this force was denied, it would mean that the north and south would fall into a civil war.
my Lord, ” count Bai ting said, ” do you think that Princess Helen is an illegitimate daughter, so she doesn’t deserve to be the heir to the throne? ”
Duke Russell frowned. There was already a conclusion on this matter. Although Princess Helen’s mother did not hold a public wedding, she held a small wedding in the Queen’s Palace in private and married Leon. Although the wedding was small, it was witnessed by many people, including nobles, commoners, and members of the church.
Therefore, you could despise the wedding, but you couldn’t question its legitimacy. Princess Helen was definitely not an illegitimate daughter.
Even in the history books of the xilun Empire, Princess Helen was listed as the heir to the throne. Although this history book was very biased toward the northern nobles, so Princess Helen was only ranked fifth, the entire Empire believed that she should be ranked third. She was the first heir to the throne.
“Of course you can.” Duke Russell said, ” but Shen Lang’s identity is just a lie. Who can prove it? ” It’s just a rumor, no one can prove it. ”
Count baiting fell into silence. Other than Princess Helen, no one else could prove it. No matter who said it, it would not be authoritative enough.
“Is there really no other way? Is there really going to be a civil war in the Russo family?” Earl Bai ting said bitterly.
my old friend, I definitely don’t want to see this either, but Jade Gold City can not be ruled by outsiders. Dybas has betrayed her honor and mission. yes, ” Duke Russell said. you can pass on a message for me.
“Please speak,” count baiting said.
yes, ” Duke Russell said. East is East, West is West. The Western world did not welcome Shen lang and asked him to return to the eastern world immediately. Dybosa was no longer qualified to be Duke Russo, and she would be exiled. She could follow Shen lang back to the eastern world. Also, please tell the people in Mulan city to release Austin immediately and unconditionally. Count Russo, out of humanitarian concerns, I can temporarily not attack Mulan city. I am willing to give them five days to leave the Western world.”
“If you don’t agree, my Army will take back Jade Gold City and destroy Mulan city. Don’t blame me for not warning you.”
this is my ultimatum. Shen Lang’s Army has to leave Jade Gold City, Mulan city, and the Western world within five days. Otherwise, it will mean war!
..........................................
After returning to pressing Gold City as quickly as possible, Earl Bai ting passed on Duke Russell’s will to dyposa.
“This stubborn thing!” Dybosse was furious.
He wanted to chase her away? Exile her? Austin. Russo inherited the title of Duke?
‘That’s simply daydreaming. Even if I die, I won’t give up the title of Duke.’
“Go and inform Mulan city to prepare for war.” right now, we have 5000 Amazon soldiers and 30000 slave soldiers, ” Duke dybosse said. although it’ll be far less than Duke Russell’s Army, I don’t believe that we can’t win this battle!
“Yes!” Count Bai ting replied bitterly.”
Once the Russo family’s civil war broke out, there would be countless deaths and injuries. Duke Russell was a man full of honor, and he would fight to the end.
“All the vassals of the Greenwave province have gone to welcome Duke Russell, so once the war starts, the Army we’ll be facing might not just be Duke Russell’s 100000 strong Army.” Said count Bai ting.
“So what?” “Haven’t you seen how powerful the Amazon Army is?” Dybas asked.
we have lost control of the sea, so we might face a pincer attack from the north and south, ” said count baiting. the wall we have to defend may be more than 20000 meters long. No matter how strong the Amazon Army is, 5000 men may not be able to defeat 200000 men. Even 300000 men will not be able to defend such a long wall.
“Is there still no news from Shen lang?” dybosse asked. The Bloody Baron’s fleet is heading east. Did something happen?”
“Mulan city’s Navy has been smuggling saltpeter,” Earl Bai ting said.”Has the Bloody Baron’s fleet discovered it?” So you want to destroy the Mulan city Squadron?”
Shen lang, if you don’t come back soon, everything will be over. dybosa’s beautiful face was as cold as ice.
However, at this moment, Shen Lang’s skeleton fleet had just discovered the Bloody Baron’s fleet and was chasing after them for thousands of miles.
..........................................
After Duke dypos rejected Duke Russell’s ultimatum, he basically announced the outbreak of civil war in the Russo family.
Duke Russell had publicly announced that his negotiations with dybosse had officially failed, so he planned to use military means to interfere with dybosse’s immoral matters. He wanted to use force to overthrow dybosse, drive away the outsiders, and support an upright person to become the new Duke Russell.
Duke Russell’s official documents were very formal and conservative, but in the end, they were still a declaration of war.
The entire Greenwave province was in an uproar, and many vassals of the Russo family sent their troops to follow Duke russuo. Before they even reached Jade Gold City, the number of soldiers under Duke Russell’s command increased, and in the end, it reached a shocking 250000.
When the 250000-strong Army was still 100 miles away from Jade Gold City, Duke Russell sent someone to negotiate with dybosa and asked her to step down. He also asked Shen Lang’s Army to leave Jade Gold City and Mulan city.
Duke dybosse refused once again.
The door to the final negotiation was completely closed, and Duke Russell led an Army of 250000 soldiers toward Jade Gold City.
The entire Jade Gold City was like a surging tide. The dormant opposers were also secretly mobilized. The order of the entire Jade Gold City was chaotic to the extreme, and it completely lost its previous reputation as the Golden City.
At this moment, Shen Lang’s skeleton army was fighting a decisive battle with the Bloody Baron thousands of miles away. It was a one-sided massacre.
....................................
Three days later!
Duke Russell’s Army of 250000 finally arrived at the city and surrounded the northern wall of Jade Gold City. It was a dark and boundless Mass.
Duke dybosse gave the order to prepare for battle. 4000 Amazon soldiers and 10000 slave soldiers were to defend the northern wall. 1,000 Amazon Warriors and 20000 slave Warriors were guarding the southern wall near the sea.
The battle was about to start.
At this time, Duke dybosse welcomed another guest, a mysterious enemy.
Emperor Sauron’s personal advisor, the mysterious master Adolf, was still dressed in a white robe that was whiter than snow. He looked like an immortal.
“Your Excellency, His Majesty Sauron has remained silent about your matter and has not made a formal statement, so there is still a last chance to salvage the situation. Duke Russell is very powerful, but he still has to obey the will of His Majesty Sauron, ” Adolf said slowly.
“What do you mean, master?” Duke dybosse asked. Can’t you be more direct? At this time, we can’t have any misjudgment of the other side’s intentions, can we?”
Duke dybosse, ” Adolf said. do you think that 5000 Amazon soldiers can defeat Duke Russell’s 250000 troops? ” Could they defeat the endless Army behind His Majesty Sauron? If there is a need, we can mobilize 500000 soldiers or even more. How long can your Jade Gold City resist?”
Duke dybosse frowned.
Adolf said, ” this is a battle of despair. From the moment you surrendered to Shen lang, you became The Public Enemy of the entire Western world. You are the enemy of the entire world. “His Majesty Sauron has yet to express his opinion, but once he shows his will, it will be too late. Duke dybosse, you will die without a burial place.”
“Master Adolf, what do you want? You can explain more clearly.” Dybas said.
I want to capture the entire Amazon Army, ” Adolf said. I want to get all the secret weapons in Mulan city.
“But what does all of this have to do with me?” Duke dybosse asked.
“The Amazon Army trusts you very much now, doesn’t it?” Adolf asked. So, as long as we add some spices to their food, they can sleep more soundly. They’ve been too tired recently, haven’t they?”
Then, Adolf took out a bottle.
just this bottle can make thousands of female Amazons fall asleep without any pain. Adolf said, ” after that, you need to make a public statement. Your marriage with Mr. Shen lang is fake and invalid. Everything you’ve done in the past was feigned civility, and you’ve sacrificed yourself for the Luthor family. This way, Duke Russell is not here to clean up the mess. Instead, he is invited by you to drive away Shen Lang’s foreign Army and take back Jade Gold City.”
Duke dybosse laughed.
Adolf said, ” in this case, your reputation can be preserved. Your title of nobility will naturally be preserved. The entire Western world will be touched by your spirit of sacrifice. In order to protect the family, you have no choice but to feed the tiger with your body. What a great Spirit this is. Besides, this is your only and last chance.”
“Sir Adolf, do I look like such a shameless person to you?” dybosa laughed.
“No, no, no,” “You’re an extremely intelligent man. I’ve never doubted your wisdom and courage,” Adolf said.
He really knew how to talk. He was obviously being sarcastic, but it sounded like he was praising her.
&Nbsp; however, the truth was as he had said. When the witch Empire was powerful, Dybas had made Jade Gold City Fly under the witch Empire’s banner to pledge their loyalty in name. After that, he secretly formed an Army to attack the witch Empire and became the hero of the Third Empire of Xi Lun. Then, he submitted to Shen lang.
In the past few years, she had been like a chameleon. She had not changed her role, so she was a political creature that prioritized benefits.
In this case, Adolf felt that she would never reject his life-saving straw. He was already dybosse’s last hope.
“I understand your opinion, master Adolf,” dypos said. If I’m not mistaken, you need me to betray Shen lang again and help you poison the Amazon Army so that you can have all of them. You will also obtain all the secret weapons in Mulan city, right? this means that you will take over all of Shen Lang’s achievements, right?”
“Yes, I am.” This time, Adolf didn’t beat around the bush and answered directly.
“Is this also His Majesty Sauron’s will?” dyboas asked.
“You can think of it that way, if you’re willing,” Adolf said. Duke dybosse, you’re an extremely intelligent person, and you’ve always known what to do. This time is no exception. On one side, it’s the despicable Dongfang shenlang, and on the other, it’s your precious life and the expensive title of Duke.”
Duke dybosse didn’t say anything.
there’s a good saying, ” Adolf said. there’s no absolute loyalty in this world. It’s just that there’s not enough leverage for betrayal.
Yes, this sentence was absolutely true.
Then what should she do?
That bastard Shen lang said that he was going to conquer the skeleton army, but he was nowhere to be seen. He also said that he was Princess Helen’s younger brother, but he couldn’t prove it.
Outside, Duke Russell’s Army of 250000 was already at the city gates and would soon start a war. She was already facing a disaster.
Should he betray Shen lang again? Or should she trust him to the end? Did he believe that he could create another miracle?
But she knew that this was a fatal choice, and there was no room for regret.
If he chose to betray Shen lang, what would happen when Shen lang returned?
However, if she chose to continue to trust Shen lang, what if he never came back? Or what if he was late? By that time, Jade Gold City would have already fallen.
Dybosse knew that this was the most important decision in her life, and it was related to her fate and life.
She closed her eyes. At this time, she couldn’t use her rationality, nor could she think deeply. Instead, she had to find a feeling.
She started to reminisce about everything that happened between her and Shen lang. Of course, it was not to reminisce about their love but to understand this person more. At a time like this, who would still care about love?
She recalled every miracle that Shen lang had created, and the memory became more and more vivid in her mind.
However, he still couldn’t refuse.
Then, her hand instinctively touched her stomach, and she often exhaled. “I refuse.”
Adolf was stunned for a moment before he sneered, ” “You’re pregnant? It seemed that the saying that pregnancy made women stupid was true.”
Then, he stood up and said, ” “Dybyourself, you’ve already rejected the last chance of survival. You have closed the door to heaven, so what awaits you is only hell. However, you don’t have to worry about your child seeing this tragic scene because it’s impossible for him to be born into this world. Just like Shen lang, he shouldn’t have been born in this world.”
This sentence was the most vicious curse.
“Just wait for hell to devour you, Sir dybosse.” Adolf turned around and left.
..............................
With Adolf’s departure, the situation fell into its worst possible state.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Suddenly, a series of explosions rang out in Jade Gold City, and flames soared into the sky. Someone was creating chaos in the city and wanted to defeat dybosa and take over Jade Gold City in the shortest time possible.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Then, barrel after barrel of fish oil exploded.
The entire city was burning in flames from all directions. Countless slaves and civilians were screaming and rushing out.
The entire Jade Gold City was in chaos, and at this time, all of dyposa’s troops were on the city walls, not having any spare energy to maintain order in the city.
“Come, come, let all of this come even more violent.” Duke dybosse said through gritted teeth.
“In the midst of these raging flames, I, Dybas, will either be reborn or completely destroyed.
Then, she put on her golden armor and rode on her warhorse. Under the protection of thousands of Knights, she charged towards the northern city wall.
Because Duke Russell had come to attack the city, her status was already matched, and she could personally go into battle.
..................
On the northern city wall.
Dybosa, Princess Dora, and count baiting led 15000 troops to defend this ten-mile-long city wall.
Below the city walls, the 250000 strong Army was boundless.
Adolf appeared next to Duke Russell and said a few words. Duke Russell instinctively looked away and frowned, indicating his displeasure with Adolf. Duke Russell had never had a good impression of people who pretended to be mysterious.
An outsider was still showing off his power, what was this?
Duke Russell really did not want to fight this battle, but he had no other choice. He would not allow the Russo family’s city to fall into the hands of Shen lang.
We’ve already negotiated, there’s no need to talk anymore.
Furthermore, this was the Russo family’s Civil War, and there was no glory to speak of, so there was no need to mobilize the troops before the war.
Duke Russell pulled out his greatsword and shouted, ” “The Army is attacking the city!”
As he gave the order, the 100000-strong Army rushed toward Jade Gold City like a tide.
A great battle erupted!
..................
In the sea to the South of Jade Gold City, Shen lang could hear deafening sounds of battle and thick smoke from afar.
He had a bad feeling, so he ordered the skeleton Island fleet to speed up.
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
They had to stop the situation from worsening, or at least, the worst case scenario.
At this moment, Princess Helen frowned as she looked at all of this. Then, she was even faster and jumped into the sea with Shen lang in her arms.
Once again, a stunning scene happened. Princess Helen was walking on the waves, which was the ability of Princess Ji Xuan and Princess Ning Han.
Princess Helen carried Shen lang and sprinted along the surface of the sea. Soon, they disappeared without a trace as they charged toward the battlefield in Jade Gold City.
..................
“Kill, kill, kill bi an!”
Duke Russell’s 100000-strong Army charged forward madly, approaching the city wall at a distance of 500 to 300 meters.
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The trebuchets on the city walls activated their powers once more, as they threw out countless gunpowder packages.
A series of earth-shattering explosions occurred, and countless corpses were sent flying.
However, many of these 100000 people were once the defenders of Jade Gold City, so they had enough understanding of the gunpowder bag.
He could either lie down or continue charging.
“Charge, charge, charge at Suan ni!”
Duke Russell’s elite guards were very fast, and they rushed toward the city wall like lightning.
Adolf laughed and said, ” Shen lang is indeed an inauspicious item. Anyone who touches him will be killed. Queen Medusa is going to die soon, and now it’s Duke dybosse’s turn. No matter how strong the Amazon Army is, they can’t resist 250000 soldiers.”
Duke dybosse looked at the tide of enemies, gritted her teeth, and pulled out her longsword.
Shen lang, you b * stard, you’re still nowhere to be seen. Looks like I made the wrong choice this time? I lost the bet?
That’s nothing? “Although I, Dybas, am a political creature, I will definitely not taint the Russo family’s honor at a critical moment.
“Kill, kill, kill!”
Princess Dora pulled out her sword, and the 4000 Amazon soldiers also pulled out their troops. Facing an Army of 250000, they were still fearless, even if they were about to face a real test of death and even if the Amazon Army would suffer heavy casualties.
However, the Amazon tribe would never back down or rebel!
At most, they would kill until blood flowed like a river.
“Kill, kill, kill!”
In an instant, the two armies had begun a fierce battle, and blood and Qi filled the air!
And at this moment!
A golden figure appeared on the peak of the mountain.
To be precise, there were two of them. She was carrying another person.
Princess Helen put Shen lang down. The sun shone on her body, and she seemed to be covered in a layer of holy light.
Duke Russell, I am Helen of the Silen family. I order you to stop the war!
“Duke dybosse, I am Helen of the Siron family. I order you to stop the war!”
all the troops of the Russo family and all the southern troops, as the third heir to the xilun dynasty, I order you to stop the war immediately!
Then, Princess Helen pulled out her huge sword and slashed at a huge rock beside her.
“Bang!”
In an instant, this huge rock that weighed over ten thousand Jin was directly smashed into pieces, flying in all directions.
Then, Princess Helen jumped down from the cliff.
“Bang!”
The moment she jumped down, her body was covered in golden light. That was the Golden bloodline warrior power.
With a loud bang, she landed safely on the ground, but a huge hole had been blasted open in the ground.
He was so powerful.
Princess Helen slowly walked out of the pit and walked toward Duke Russell. “Duke Russell, I am Helen. Shen lang is my half-brother, and our Father is the human Emperor of the East, Jiang Li. so, Duke dybosse gave Jade Gold City to my brother for the sake of the Empire. What’s wrong with that? Can’t she be loyal to me?”
Helen’s posture was elegant, and her every step was graceful. However, the intense combat energy emitted from her body pushed all the soldiers on the road to the side.
Like a ray of golden light, she pushed aside the tide of soldiers and came directly before Duke Russell.
“Duke Russell, as the third in line to the throne of the xilun Empire, I order you to stop the war immediately! Will you comply?” Princess Helen asked slowly.
Duke Russo dismounted from his warhorse and knelt down on one knee in front of Princess Helen. “This subject Luo su pays respects to Your Highness! Your subject will follow the princess’s will and stop the war!”
