Book of Gods and Demons

The main text of the Book of Gods and Demons, Chapter 492, Joe's Enlightenment, the official residence of the Grand Duke of Portland.

　　 Joe brought a large number of soldiers, and they cooperated with the Royal Knights to quickly blockade the surrounding streets.

On the roof of the mansion near the official residence, soldiers armed with a new sniper rifle touched it. They set up a sniper position on the roof and blocked the mansion in all directions.

　　 By the way, these new sniper rifles are also from the drawings given by Joe.

　　 Because the precision is too high and the processing is too difficult, no military factory near Hyderabad has succeeded in trial production. The existing more than one hundred new sniper rifles are still Jules Silver Hammer, made by hand with a family of young and old.

　　 30 milli caliber, five feet two inches long gun body, using ten rounds of magazines, equipped with a special eight times optical sight. The special propellant, the special large charge bullet, the special alloy armor-piercing warhead, in the test, this large-caliber sniper rifle, one shot can blast an extraordinary powerhouse entering the fifth rank into two stages.

　　 Joe asked Salian to ask for reinforcements, and Salian sent out the sniper force that had just been established just two days ago.

　　If Joe wants to deal with those people next, if they all cooperate, these snipers will naturally be useless... But if there is anyone who wants to resist, then just through actual combat to test the actual combat power of these snipers.

　　 When all the troops were in place, Joe rode to the main entrance of the Portland Grand Duke’s residence.

　　 A centurion of the Royal Knights rushed to the front gate. He shouted: "In the name of the empire, open the gate. Give you ten counts. After ten counts, we will launch an attack!"

　　 Joe raised his right hand, he raised his five fingers, and shouted: "Okay, no trouble... Ten... offense!"

　　 With a forceful wave of his right hand forward, the knights and soldiers behind him rushed over like a tide.

　　 With a loud bang, several royal knights wearing heavy armor and holding warhammers swung their sledgehammers, and blasted the heavy door from the door frame cleanly.

　　 Accompanied by the shrill cracking sound of the door shaft, two huge metal portals slammed heavily on the ground.

　　 The heavily armed knight rushed to the forefront riding a horse.

　　 Behind them, soldiers in iron-gray uniforms, armed with guns, rushed in in a neat line.

Dozens of guards of the Grand Duke of Portland gush out from a small building behind the door. They are holding swords and staring at the intruders—their clothes, and the flags played by several officers. Declared their identities.

　　 Part of the guards subconsciously released their hands, and their weapons fell to the ground.

But there are also some guards-they are all wearing the unique lantern sleeves of the Principality of Portland, and knight suits with yellow slashes on the black background. They are not external guards. They are following the Grand Duke of Portland and fled to the Durham Empire Noble knight.

　　 They roared loudly, rushed up to meet the intruder, and formed a sparse line of defense in front of the intruder a hundred times as large as theirs.

　　 "This is the official residence of the Grand Duke of Portland... This is protected by the "Medland Diplomatic Law"... Here, it belongs to the land of the Principality of Portland... You have no right to break in... Exit, exit!"

　　 A middle-aged man in a knight costume with two ribbons on his chest and a shield badge hung on it roared hoarsely.

　　 He waved the saber in his hand, and with a ‘chih’, ​​a light blue cold light sprayed from the blade, splitting an arc-shaped knife mark tens of feet long on the ground.

　　 A few royal knights rushed in front, and the blades burst out, almost smashing on the hoofs of their mounts.

　　 Several war horses were frightened, and they hissed up to the sky, and suddenly raised the front hoof to stand up. Several royal knights have excellent riding skills. They stepped on their stirrups and stood up, with the knight sword in their hands unceremoniously slashing forward.

　　The Portland knights in a row shouted in unison, they raised their weapons to block the sword lights that fell.

　　 In the next moment, a large group of royal knights jumped off their horses, formed a battle formation, and rushed to the thin line of defense. In just one collision, dozens of Portland knights were beaten to vomit blood and fell to the ground, and then a varying number of knight swords were quickly mounted on their necks.

　　 The study of the Grand Duke of Portland.

　　 The study door was slammed open. An old man wearing traditional Portland aristocratic clothes and three palm-sized disc-shaped medals hung on his left chest rushed in.

　　 "The Grand Duke, the army of the Durham Empire, launched... an attack on us. They broke in!"

　　 The old man’s pupils shrunk to the size of a needle, and his voice clearly contained a vibrato, full of panic.

　　 The Grand Duke of Portland turned around abruptly and looked at the old man in amazement.

　　 Then, he quickly looked at Edward.

　　 Edward was stunned. He leaped up from his office chair and yelled: "Damn it, are you sure, it's their army? How could they do this... they..."

　　 This is the official residence of the Grand Duke of Portland.

　　 After fleeing the Principality of Portland, the Grand Duke of Portland, with the help of a group of loyal followers, established a government in exile, sheltering under the wings of the Durham Empire.

　　The unspoken rule of the countries of the Medland continent is that the senior officials of the government in exile will often receive more preferential treatment than other powerful countries!

　　 You said this is the hypocrisy of the nobility.

　　 You said this is a kind of rabbit, dead fox and sad.

In short, in Hyderabad, the Grand Duke of Portland enjoyed privileges that were higher than that of other ambassadors. Even many of his shady underground transactions were also protected by the upper echelons of the empire. Many of his violations of law, Irregularities, even the Imperial Supervision Department and the Police Department turned a blind eye.

　　Even, the Grand Duke of Portland earns hundreds of millions of dollars in profits every year, but his annual taxes are only a few thousand gold marks!

　　The tax department of the empire also turned a blind eye to this.

Many of the subordinates of the Grand Duke of Portland were bullying and bullying on the outside, but several times they had murders... As long as the Grand Duke of Portland came forward and gave the victims' families sufficient financial compensation, those subordinates who killed the people. , It will be able to securely establish the police station, and will not be subject to follow-up investigation.

　　 Such preferential treatment... How come the imperial army breaks in?

　　 "Edward..." The Grand Duke of Portland sighed heavily, and he looked at the pale-faced Edward deeply: "You must leave... through the back door."

　　 Edward coughed heavily. He clenched his fists, then slowly let go. He looked at the Grand Duke of Portland: "Is there no secret way?"

The Grand Duke of Portland stared at Edward in amazement: "What's the kidding? I, an exiled Grand Duke, digging the secret road in the capital of the suzerain country? Do you think this is possible? For thirty years, because of my conformity, I In order to live like a fish in Hyderabad!"

　　 "Go through the back door, hurry up... It must be something you asked Amori to do... the trouble."

　　 The Grand Duke of Portland pulled the corner of his jacket and muttered in a low voice, "Unexpectedly, that old trash Ferdinand, he actually...could have the courage to do such a thing? In order to renege on the bill, did you hesitate by all means?"

"Well, it's nothing big, as long as you don't get caught, you stay with me." The Grand Duke of Portland took a deep look at Edward, who was a little bewildered. "Actually, even if you are caught with me, there is no big deal. Well, who doesn't have many friends?"

　　 While talking, the Grand Duke of Portland grabbed Edward by the shoulder and pushed him towards the door of the study.

"But, Edward, although this is a bit offensive, I have to say—it’s okay to be caught us together by them... What I’m afraid of is that I can be tight-lipped, and you, if you say something you shouldn’t say thing!"

try{mad1(\'gad2\');}catch(ex){}　　 Edward yelled: "Your Excellency, don't look down on people!"

As the two talked, they had rushed out of the study, followed a corridor outside the door to a hidden staircase at the end, and rushed down the stairs. They opened a small door, behind which was a stone veranda. There are already several fully armed guards waiting behind.

　　 They quickly rushed out nearly two hundred feet along the veranda. Behind them, there was already a loud noise and the sound of heavy footsteps on the snow.

　　 Hearing the footsteps, I knew that at least a thousand people had broken in.

　　 This is indeed a large-scale army.

The Grand Duke of Portland had a dark face. While pushing Edward and rushing forward, he hurriedly exhorted: "Mr. Edward, after you go back, immediately ask the deputy envoy to contact the ambassadors of various countries to protest against the death of the German Empire. The behavior of the government in exile..."

　　 "Although I don't know what happened, why Ferdinand suddenly became so courageous... But I understand one thing, Donglu has an old saying-the dog jumps the wall quickly!"

　　 "The number of IOUs that Amori brought over is too big. Could it be that Ferdinand was driven crazy by us?"

　　 "Damn, I said, even if it's a debt collection, you can't take out all the IOUs at once...I just cooperated with you to test Ferdinand, we..."

　　 A group of people rushed out of the veranda and came to a gravel road covered with thin snow.

　　 More than a hundred feet in front of them, is a back door of the Grand Duke of Portland's mansion-this mansion is very large, facing the surrounding streets, opening a door on every street.

　　 The door in front of them is the back door closest to the study.

　　 A few black-clothed guards stood stiffly by the door, looking outside through the hollow metal floral door.

　　 The Grand Duke of Portland, Edward and others stopped at the same time.

　　 Through the door~www.ltnovel.com~ they saw that the street outside was filled with rows of Imperial soldiers in iron gray uniforms. In front of these imperial soldiers, there are more than two hundred royal knights riding on war horses and brightly armored.

　　 In the hands of the two centurion knights in the front, on the long lances, the triangular flags were waving in the cold wind, and the hydra emblem on them was clearly visible.

　　 "Royal Knight." The Grand Duke of Portland murmured bitterly, "Edward, are you ready to be tortured? With my knowledge of Ferdinand, he will attack you without hesitation."

　　 "Remember, you must never say that you asked me to go to Apophis Palace for debt."

　　 "You can't even say that you told me the news about him in Apophis Palace."

　　 "If they want to ask you what you are doing here, you just say, you have a small investment of hundreds of thousands of gold marks with me, and you came to me to get this year's dividend."

　　 The Grand Duke of Portland was breathing deeply, and he reached out to the old man who had just rushed into the study to report.

　　 The old man quickly took out a large traveler's check from his chest pocket and put it in the hands of the Grand Duke of Portland quickly.

The Grand Duke of Portland inserted the check into the pocket of Edward's pale pink waistcoat, and then gently patted his chest: "Remember, this is the dividend you got from me. You come to me. , Just for a sale."

"I'll take care of everything, you just have to make sure that one thing is absolutely not let the Deren Empire know, or let them know, and they can't be caught. It is true that apart from taking refuge in the Deren Empire, I also work with you Ice Sea King. State-owned cooperation!"
