Portland Grand Duke's Residence.

Joe brought a large number of soldiers, who cooperated with the Royal Knights and quickly blocked the surrounding streets.

On the roof of the mansion near the official residence, soldiers holding new sniper rifles also touched them up. They set up sniper positions on the roof and blocked the official residence in all aspects.

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

Because the accuracy required is too high and the processing is too difficult, no military factory near Fort Heidra has successfully made the trial production. The existing more than 100 new sniper rifles are still Jules Silver Hammer, and they were built with a family of old people in purely manual ways.

The thirty-millimeter-caliber, five-foot-two-inch gun body, uses ten round magazines, and is equipped with a special eight-fold optical sight. Special launching medicine, specially made large-loaded bullets, and specially made alloy armor-breaking warheads. In the test, this large-caliber sniper rifle can knock a super powerful man who has just entered the fifth level into two stages with one shot.

Joe asked Sallyan to ask for reinforcements, and Sallyan sent out this sniper unit that had just been established for less than two days.

If all the people Joe wants to deal with next, if they cooperate, these snipers will naturally have no place to use their skills... But if anyone who is blinded wants to resist, then it will be a good time to test the actual combat power of these snipers through actual combat.

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

A centurion of the Royal Knights, Ce Cavalry rushed outside the main gate, and he shouted loudly: "In the name of the empire, open the gate. Give you ten numbers time, after ten counts, we will launch an attack!"

Qiao raised his right hand, he raised his five fingers and shouted loudly: "Okay, don't bother... Ten...attack!"

His right hand waved forward with force, and the knights and soldiers behind him rushed over like a tide.

With a loud bang, several Royal Knights wearing heavy armor and holding warhammers waved their sledgehammers and blasted the heavy door cleanly and neatly from the door frame.

Accompanied by the harsh sound of the door shaft, two huge metal portals slapped heavily on the ground.

The fully armed knight rode his horse and rushed to the front.

Behind them, soldiers in iron-gray uniforms were carrying guns and rushing in in neat rows.

Dozens of Portland's guards rushed out of a small building behind the door. They held swords and stared at the intruders in amazement - their dress and flags from the hands of several officers, all of which declared their identities.

Some of the guards subconsciously let go of their hands and their weapons fell to the ground.

But there were also some guards - they were all wearing lantern sleeves unique to the Principal of Portland and knight uniforms with yellow slashes on black background. They were not external guards, but noble knights who followed the Grand Duke of Portland and fled to the Deren Empire.

They roared loudly, rushed up to the intruders, forming a sparse line of defense in front of the intruders who were hundreds of times their own.

"This is the official residence of the Grand Duke of Portland...This is protected by the Public Law of Medland Diplomacy...This is the territory belonging to the Duchy of Portland...You have no right to break in...get out, quit!"

A middle-aged man in a knight outfit with two ribbons on his chest and a shield-shaped badge roared at the top of his lungs.

He waved the saber in his hand, and with a sniffle, a light blue cold light sprayed out from the blade, cleaving a curved knife mark dozens of feet long on the ground.

Several royal knights rushed in the front, and the sword light spurted out, almost slashing on their mount hooves.

Several war horses were frightened, and they raised their front hoofs and stood up. Several royal knights were excellent in riding skills. They stepped on stirrups and stood up. The knight swords in their hands were slashed forward without any hesitation.

A few "hissing" sounds, and several sword lights fell into the air.

The Portland Knights lined up in unison and shouted, raising their weapons in their hands to block the falling sword lights.

The next moment, a large group of royal knights jumped off their war horses, formed a battle formation, and rushed to the meager line of defense in front. With just a collision, more than a dozen Portland knights were beaten to vomit blood and fell to the ground. Then, a number of knight swords were quickly mounted on their necks.

The study of the Duke of Portland.

The study door was suddenly knocked open, and an old man wearing traditional Portland aristocratic costume with three palm-sized disc-shaped medals hanging on his left chest, and his hair and beard were white.

"The Grand Duke, the army of the Delun Empire launched...attacks on us. They broke in!"

The old man's pupils shrank to the size of a needle point, and his voice was clearly filled with tremor, full of fear and anxiety.

The Grand Duke of Portland turned around suddenly and looked at the old man in horror.

Then, he quickly looked at Edward.

Edward was stunned, and he suddenly jumped up from the office chair, and he shouted: "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 escaping from the Principality of Portland, the Grand Duke of Portland, with the help of a group of loyal followers, established a government in exile and was harbored under the wings of the Delun Empire.

The unspoken rule of countries in mainland Medland is that senior executives of governments in exile are often given greater preferential treatment than other powerful countries!

You said this is the hypocrisy of the nobles.

You said this is a tragedy of a rabbit and a fox.

In short, at Fort Heidra, the Duke of Portland enjoyed a privilege that was higher than other ambassadors, including many of his shameful underground transactions, and were protected by the top leaders of the empire. Many of his violations and violations of laws and regulations, and even the Imperial Supervision and Police Department turned a blind eye.

Even the Duke of Portland earns hundreds of millions of profits every year, but the tax he pays is only a few thousand gold marks every year!

The Empire's Taxation Department also ignored this.

Many of the subordinates of the Portland Duke are domineering outside, bullying men and women, but they have committed murder cases several times... As long as the Duke of Portland comes forward and gives enough financial compensation to the victim's family, those subordinates who beat people to death will be safe and will not be subject to subsequent investigation.

With such preferential treatment...how could an imperial army break in?

"Edward..." The Grand Duke of Portland breathed heavily, and he looked at Edward with a pale face deeply: "You must leave... walk through the back door."

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

The Grand Duke of Portland stared at Edward in horror and said, "What are you kidding? I, an exiled grand duke, digging secret passages in the imperial capital of the Sect Master's Kingdom? Do you think this is possible? For thirty years, it is precisely because of my following the rules that I have lived in Fort Hydera!"

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

The Grand Duke of Portland pulled the corner of his clothes and muttered quietly: "I didn't expect that Ferdinand, the old waste, actually...had he... dared to do such a thing? In order to make a debt, did he do anything to do?"

"Okay, nothing big, as long as you are not caught, you are with me." The Grand Duke of Portland looked at Edward, who was a little helpless: "Actually, even if you are caught, you will be together, it will be fine. Who doesn't have many friends?"

While talking, the Grand Duke of Portland grabbed Edward's 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 by them... What I'm afraid of is that I can keep my mouth shut and you, if you say something you shouldn't say!"

Edward shouted: "Your Excellency, don't look down on others!"

While the two of them were talking, they had already rushed out of the study room, followed a corridor outside the door to a secret staircase at the end, and rushed down the staircase. They opened a small door. Behind the door was a stone corridor, and there were already several fully armed guards waiting behind them.

They quickly rushed out nearly two hundred feet along the corridor. Behind them, there were already huge noises and heavy steps on the snow.

You can tell from the footsteps that at least thousands of people broke in.

This is indeed a large army.

The Portland Duke's face was a little black. While pushing Edward forward, he quickly reminded: "Mr. Edward, after you go back, immediately ask the Deputy Envoy to contact the ambassadors of various countries to protest the Delun Empire's murder of the vassal states and the exile government..."

"Although I don't know what happened, why Ferdinand suddenly became so brave... But I understand one thing, Donglu has an old saying - "A dog is desperate!"

"The IOU brought by Amori was too big. Did Ferdinand be driven crazy by us?"

"Damn it, I just said that even if you collect debts, you can't take out all the IOUs at once... I'm just cooperating with you to test Ferdinand, we..."

The group rushed out of the corridor and came to a gravel road covered with thin snow.

More than a hundred feet ahead of them was a back door of the Portland Grand Duke's residence - this residence was huge, and opened a portal on each street towards the surrounding streets.

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

Several black-clothed guards stood stiffly by the door, staring blankly outside through the hollowed-out metal floral door.

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

Through the gate, they saw that on the street outside, there were rows of Imperial Army soldiers wearing iron gray uniforms. In front of these Imperial Army soldiers were more than 200 royal knights riding war horses and distinctly dressed in armor.

In the hands of the two knights in the front, on the long spear, the pennant flag fluttered in the cold wind, and the Hydra heraldry on it was clearly visible.

"Royal Knight." The Grand Duke of Portland muttered bitterly: "Edward, are you ready for severe torture? With my understanding of Ferdinand, he will attack you without hesitation."

"Remember, don't say that you asked me to go to Apophis Palace to ask for debt."

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

"If they want to ask you what you are doing here, you say, you have a small investment of hundreds of thousands of gold marks here, and you are here to get dividends for this year."

The Grand Duke of Portland breathed deeply, and he stretched out his hand to the old man who had just rushed into the study to report the news.

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

The Portland Duke inserted the check into the dark bag on Edward's pale pink vest, and then gently patted his chest: "Remember, this is the dividend you got from me. You came to me just for a deal."
