The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem
Chapter 250 The Beginning of War
The Dukedom of Booker has been completely covered by diffuse psychic particles. In such an environment, any fighting spirit, magic, and equipment driven by magic cannot function normally.
After people lost their accustomed power, serious chaos did occur in the Duchy - but just three days later, the chaos in various places came to an abrupt end without any warning.
"It's another weapon. Duke Booker's soldiers are equipped with gunpowder weapons that have long been eliminated... Without the protection of fighting spirit and magic shield, human flesh and blood cannot withstand bullets and shells."
When Duke Ophelia received the information that his subordinates had exchanged their lives for, he finally fully understood Duke Booker's strategy.
In fact, humans invented gunpowder firearms and cannons a long time ago - but because these weapons could hardly harm strong monsters, and could not fight against humans with fighting spirit or magic power, they were soon forgotten in the corner of history.
However, now that the pervasive spiritual power has completely blocked human capabilities, these simple and crude weapons have once again come onto the stage.
"If that's the case, then Duke Buck is still very wise."
When Xia Ye got the news from Duke Oufei, she immediately made such an evaluation to Keliya.
However, Her Royal Highness the Princess simply scoffed at this - because she had already obtained a weapon with even more terrifying power.
"That old guy's idea is good, but how long can he hold on? The people in the territory can endure it at home for a day or two, but can they endure it for a month?"
The biggest problem with this strategy is that it will stop all production activities within the territory.
It might be able to rely on stockpiled supplies for support in the short term, but over time, the Dukedom would begin to collapse from within.
So Duke Booker must decide the outcome with his opponent in a short period of time...but now no one knows who the opponent is.
"According to Duke Oufei's analysis, the person with the greatest suspicion at the moment is Duke Scott."
"Isn't that because he himself has a grudge against the Scott family?"
Claire did not think that Duke Scott was a traitor, because as a magician, she had actually been taken care of by the old duke.
"No matter who it is, Duke Buck can't fall now."
The problem now is that whoever the potential traitor is, that person has forced Duke Buck to use a nearly suicidal strategy.
And if Duke Booker falls first, the foundation of the empire will be seriously shaken.
"In short, it's very difficult for people here to get news from the outside world... If it weren't for Zhu Ying who can fly out of this damn place at any time, we would just be running around aimlessly without any clues."
"So, your highness, what are you going to do next?"
"I was going to--"
Before Claire could express her thoughts, an alien mercenary suddenly ran into her room and began to report to her loudly with an anxious look on his face.
"Report! The captain... the captain who was out on patrol just discovered that regular troops are entering the Duke's territory from the south! Judging from their equipment, they appear to be... the Twilight Army and the Cardians!"
"Qadiyan?! How is it possible!?"
"Don't worry yet. Miss Zhuying, please go out and investigate."
After waving to the Sakura-haired maid to go and verify the situation, Xia Ye's expression became solemn.
Kuran wouldn't joke about such things, so he was probably not wrong - but the people of Ximu were understandable, but what about the people of Khadia?
Although the Kingdom of Cadia and the Kingdom of Twilight do border each other...how could the warlike people of Twilight possibly join forces with Cadia?
"My husband said earlier that the Cadians were preparing to invade... So they went around to the south!"
"Your Highness, please calm down for a moment. The empire's southern defense line has not collapsed. These people should just be a small infiltration reconnaissance force."
But the fact that they were able to pass through the Empire's defenses and enter the Duchy so easily only meant that this force was the elite of the enemy.
If the enemy quickly breaks up into small groups and lies dormant, then once the empire reveals a flaw, they can work together from inside and outside to completely tear open the southern defense line.
"I guess they are here to disrupt the supply of Magic Source Stone... I didn't expect the Cadians to interfere from this side."
"Go and inform His Excellency the Duke of this news, and then ask Kuran to come and see Her Royal Highness the Princess immediately."
"No need, Director Xia Ye! I'm already here!"
When the handsome mercenary leader ran in breathlessly, the alien mercenary immediately retreated.
Looking at Kuran's slightly embarrassed appearance, Keliya's mood gradually sank.
Things are changing too fast... and I am completely passive here.
"...I must have seen it right! That group of people came prepared. They all brought weapons similar to muskets, and there were at least several hundred of them!"
"It's an infiltration team...someone is secretly coordinating their actions!"
"Please try to stay calm, otherwise you won't be able to think of a solution."
Xia Ye's emotionless exhortation helped Keliya and Kuran calm down quickly.
At this time, you should really try to stay calm, otherwise you will lose your composure before the other party starts attacking.
"The Dukedom is in this state now. It is difficult to discover the exact whereabouts of such a small-scale infiltration force. Even if we spread this news, no one will believe it."
"That's right... No one can come here to verify that the Cadians have invaded the Empire."
"I think the traitor must have already formulated a plan to infiltrate and sabotage the enemy, and Duke Booker's radical strategy just happened to cover up the enemy's actions."
Because the Duke's territory is now full of spiritual energy, if someone wants to come in to investigate the situation or provide support, they must endure the loss of fighting spirit and severe weakening of magic power.
Under such circumstances, the well-prepared enemy will easily eliminate any external interference.
"So my personal suggestion is that we who are here should first use our combat power advantage to eliminate these foreign enemies as much as possible, and then find a way to support Duke Booker."
"Can't we ask the young master for help? Doesn't he have a warship?"
"No, the Cadians are definitely eyeing the border territory right now. If my husband drives the Prison Flower away now, they might launch a frontal attack from there."
The Prison Flower is the only strategic deterrent in the border territory now. Although the Fourth Legion is ready for battle, the border territory is now a mixed bag, and no one knows if someone will stab them in the back when a real fight breaks out.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Claire didn't want to ask Aarons for help.
However, she had lost her fighting spirit and magic due to the erosion of her spiritual power, and now she truly felt her own powerlessness.
"...My husband, has he always been fighting in this state?"
"Even if the young master has no power, he always wants to stand in the front and point the way for others... There is only one person like him who is difficult to take care of. You must not learn from him."
Why did the princess suddenly think of a man at this time? However, Kulan, who was secretly complaining in his heart, did not say this out loud, but just raised his eyebrows awkwardly.
Anyway... they will soon face a fierce battle.
