#1249 - Chapter 1249: A Foolishly Loyal Person
“Thump!”
As the Iron-Blooded Duke’s hand sent the head crashing to the ground, the remaining envoys around him jumped in fright.
Clearly, they were prepared for the worst.
However, they still hadn't anticipated that the Iron-Blooded Duke would directly resort to murder.
Executing envoys was against the rules since ancient times.
Within the entire Human Empire, only a madman like Wu Wei would do such a thing; any other lord with a shred of decency would never consider it.
So, after witnessing the Iron-Blooded Duke kill an envoy, these envoys understood very well that this guy was ready to completely tear off the pretense.
But like all humans, who have two sides.
In this extremely critical situation, these envoys, each representing different powers, were clearly divided into two factions when facing the frenzied Iron-Blooded Duke.
One faction, the more hardline one, chose to confront the Iron-Blooded Duke head-on, attempting to make this stimulated guy back down.
Their fate, of course, was obvious.
They suffered a terrifying massacre at the hands of the Iron-Blooded Duke.
Although many of these envoys held lord titles, without exception, they were instantly killed when facing the Iron-Blooded Duke.
After all, the Iron-Blooded Duke was suppressed by Wu Wei because Wu Wei relied on the Endless Abyss.
At that time, it was normal for him to be unable to defeat Wu Wei.
But these lords didn't have a backer like Wu Wei.
Moreover, the area where these envoys were located was the Iron-Blooded Duke's territory.
So, in less than a few minutes, under the double attack of the guards and the Iron-Blooded Duke, these poor envoys who couldn't see the situation all became corpses.
And what about those smarter envoys?
Their choice, of course, was to flee.
These cunning guys, upon seeing the Iron-Blooded Duke's murderous face, retreated without hesitation, using their respective escape equipment to try to flee to a safe area.
By the way, due to the suppression of teleportation in this area, these guys couldn't choose to escape by teleportation.
But even so, their fate wasn't much better.
Because as mentioned before, this territory was the Iron-Blooded Duke's camp.
Those heavy weapons with terrifying power easily caught the fleeing envoys, knocking them down like flies.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz.”
“I really didn’t expect this.”
Seeing this scene, Wu Wei, far away in the Abyss territory, sighed.
“I really didn’t expect that the princes and princesses of the Human Empire are actually the biggest parasites of the empire.”
“And the Iron-Blooded Duke, this seemingly parasitic autocrat, is the Human Empire’s most loyal subject.”
“It’s truly laughable.”
Although Wu Wei was very emotional inside, he didn't think that the Iron-Blooded Duke would be rewarded for his loyalty.
The reason he thought so was simple.
“He’s dead.”
Wu Wei said, looking at the Iron-Blooded Duke who was in a rage on the screen.
And as he expected, when the Iron-Blooded Duke clearly expressed his willingness to support the current Emperor Shi Wu Shuang, all the princes and princesses who still had reinforcements outside the royal city quickly moved.
Countless orders were issued.
Countless troops were mobilized.
One team after another began to arm themselves to the maximum extent possible.
And cannons with great power also began to approach the direction of the Iron-Blooded Duke under the transportation of various carriers.
Fortunately.
Because this super-giant plane itself had already been shattered.
Therefore, the area where the Iron-Blooded Duke was located was still an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack area.
But no matter what.
In almost an hour, the outside of the royal city, which was already chaotic enough, began to become even more chaotic.
The various forces that were originally in a mess quickly turned into a group.
A terrifying group ready to crush the Iron-Blooded Duke with thunderous force.
Seeing this scene, Wu Wei immediately locked his gaze on the Iron-Blooded Duke.
And as Wu Wei expected, after the initial venting, the Iron-Blooded Duke also chose to prepare for war.
Moreover, what surprised Wu Wei was that this Iron-Blooded Duke actually took the initiative to teleport a part of the legion to the royal city plane when his military strength was clearly at a disadvantage.
And it was the most elite batch.
In his garrison, his defensive power was decreasing every moment.
Even if....
This would kill him here!
Seeing this, Wu Wei shook his head with a sneer.
He didn't care about the Iron-Blooded Duke's foolish loyalty.
Not to mention, the object of his foolish loyalty was the Human Empire.
However, just as the war was on the verge of breaking out, Wu Wei suddenly realized something.
And it was this thing that allowed the lucky Iron-Blooded Duke to survive.
Because....
Wu Wei sent out his demon legion soon after.
