System: Build My Own Territory

Chapter 912: Chapter 278: All-Out War

They were engulfed by the flames of wildfires, like chunks of meat placed in an Iron Pot...

Fortunately, they achieved victory in this attack campaign.

Fortunately, they have occupied Spirit Reef Port beneath their feet.

Fortunately, after paying a painful price, they captured Spirit Reef Port in less than one night.

Otherwise.

Not only them, but the entire Ducas Clan would become a laughingstock.

It was not because Lawrence forcibly seized his command and issued effective attack strategies.

But because the Sword and Shield Corps soldiers executed Lawrence’s orders fearlessly.

Nearly using soldiers to compensate for the disadvantage of not having siege equipment.

Moreover, because Lawrence issued an unbelievable order—human wave tactics!

Using thirty thousand Sword and Shield Corps soldiers to fully assault Spirit Reef Port!

Human wave tactics naturally led to massive casualties.

Godfrey’s gaze turned again, looking inside Spirit Reef Port.

At the port near the Seine River, ships are docked one after another.

Despite the large-scale battle at Spirit Reef Port.

It did not affect the port’s development in any way.

Awaiting tomorrow’s sunrise, Trade navigation will continue.

The only difference is that the rulers of this place have changed.

From Spirit Reef Port being breached to being fully controlled and occupied by Sword and Shield Corps soldiers.

The city’s residents did not show large-scale resistance.

Even everyone unanimously hid in their homes to avoid the war.

For both Sword and Shield Corps soldiers and the Ducas Clan, this is good news.

The residents’ tolerance allows the war to end faster and causes less damage to the city’s development.

Godfrey thought.

This revealingly shows.

Marquis Leo Polk is unpopular in his territory.

No residents are willing to defend the Marquis’s land and property!

Soon.

Another thought surfaced in Godfrey’s mind.

As Lawrence mentioned earlier.

Spirit Reef Port is indeed important.

Whether used as a landing port for merchant navigation Trade.

Or later on, for the Ducas Clan’s development of naval military Power, it’s crucial.

Especially concerning.

After Mitchell and Caesar fully launched.

Whether Caesar’s longboats transporting soldiers can rendezvous at the fastest Speed!

Such an important port.

Would Marquis Leo Polk or Caesar Carolin be willing to give it up?

Godfrey vaguely felt.

With these Sword and Shield Corps soldiers, it would be hard to fully occupy this strategic point coveted by many!

If waiting for a large-scale enemy approach, with only twenty-seven thousand Sword and Shield Corps soldiers now.

Can they really hold off?

As Godfrey pondered in his mind.

His gaze turned to a few miles outside Spirit Reef Port.

There.

The flames of torches flickered on a dim road.

Even though due to darkness and distance, he was a bit unclear.

But judging from the Speed of the flame’s movement, it’s clearly cavalry riding horses.

As time passed, the cavalry gradually approached Spirit Reef Port.

Under the illumination of torchlight, standing on the city wall, he could clearly see.

The cavalry on horses wore Armor marked with the emblem of the Ducas Clan!

Under Godfrey’s watchful eyes, a group of cavalry stirred up dust and flew rocks as they passed.

Danke, organizing soldiers to bury bodies beneath the city wall, also saw the charging cavalry.

He took steps to intercept the cavalry approaching the city gate.

The cavalry dismounted from their horses.

Seemingly relayed something to Danke.

The next second.

Danke couldn’t spare time to continue organizing the soldiers and led the cavalry running briskly to the city gate.

Seeing this scene from the city wall, Godfrey’s brow furrowed instantly.

A feeling of unease emerged in his heart.

Within mere two minutes.

Danke led the cavalry to rush up the stairs, arriving atop the city wall.

Danke scanned around and saw Godfrey in the distance.

Without any hesitation, he strode forward, heading towards Godfrey.

The cavalry behind Danke closely followed.

Arriving before Godfrey, Danke hurriedly spoke: "Sir, this is the Marquis’s envoy."

"He received instructions from the Marquis, having important matters to report to you and Lord Lawrence!"

Godfrey nodded, "Lord Lawrence is somewhat fatigued and went to rest first."

"I can convey the Marquis’s orders on his behalf."

Hearing Godfrey’s words.

The envoy wasted no words, he began his report.

"Commander Godfrey, the Marquis instructed me to inform you both..."

"Marquis Leo Polk has declared war on Marquis Duca!"

Godfrey’s brow slightly furrowed.

The Sword and Shield Army occupied Marquis Leo Polk’s Spirit Reef Port.

For Marquis Leo Polk to declare war on Marquis Duca, this was quite normal.

Yet, the envoy’s words did not stop, speaking in a somber tone.

"The Duke of Red Dragon declared war on Duke Cangyu."

"The reason is, previously Duke Cangyu dispatched soldiers into the Duchy of the Red Dragon, slaughtering and harming his territory’s residents."

"Meanwhile, Caesar Carolin declared war on His Highness Mitchell!"

"The reason is, Mitchell Carolin for the throne, killed the king patricide, and further falsely accused and slandered."
