“Not afraid of death, not making a sound when cut by swords, exceptionally ferocious? Are you sure you are describing humans?” Scaloni looked at the messenger below and asked in surprise.
As one of the major local powers in the Empire, it was understandable for the Napoli Duchy to have some elite forces. Just like the Antica Duchy, they had a Black Army that had followed Lucius through numerous battles and had played a crucial role in the previous campaign against the beastmen.
However, since the Napoli Duchy was not on the front line against foreign enemies, there had been no large-scale wars within its territory for many years. Therefore, other regions of the Empire knew relatively little about the elite forces of the Napoli Duchy. Many even believed that the Napoli Duchy had no so-called elite forces at all.
But based on the description from the front-line soldiers this time, it was clear that elite forces did exist in the Napoli Duchy.
The messenger soldier was also stunned by Scaloni’s question.
“This… according to your statement, these people might truly not be human… but…”
He himself could not give a definite answer to this question at this moment.
“Never mind. You may leave now. We will respond later,” Scaloni sighed, saying this.
This strange situation certainly had to be reported to the Imperial Capital.
…
On the other side, in Romulus City, at the Napoli army garrison.
The appearance of this strange unit on the battlefield not only attracted the attention of the allied forces but also fully captured the attention of their own allies.
“Hey, have you heard? Yesterday, the Duke sent a very powerful unit and directly recaptured all the positions the enemy had taken, and even pushed the enemy back onto the city walls!”
“Mm, it’s true. That unit is amazing. I heard they are all fearless of death. Today, we are going to advance our positions and take over the positions they occupied.”
“By the way, have you seen the true appearance of those soldiers? I heard they are all wearing full plate armor. The armor is so heavy, and they don’t take it off even when fighting in the heat. Their physical abilities are terrifying.”
“No wonder their equipment is so good. Most people can’t even wear that heavy armor, let alone fight in it.”
“I was going to say hello to them yesterday when I saw them setting off, but they completely ignored me. The entire formation, except for the sound of them walking, you couldn’t hear any other sound.”
“It proves their military discipline is very good. It seems we truly have hope of repelling the enemy with this unit.”
“Mm!”
The discussion about the sudden appearance of the elite unit gave the remaining Napoli soldiers confidence in victory.
Although that elite unit consisted of just over a thousand soldiers, they had directly defeated ten thousand men yesterday.
Inside the ducal mansion, Giovanni looked at the North city wall, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.
“Indeed, as long as my unit takes action, no matter how elite the enemy unit is, it is eventually easily captured.”
“That is natural. As long as you are willing to pay enough, we can provide you with more such units.”
Behind Giovanni, a man leaning on a cane spoke with a smile.
The skin on his hands was wrinkled, but his face was very young, looking only in his twenties.
“I don’t lack people, and I certainly don’t lack dead people,” Giovanni shook his head.
“As long as I can take control of Saint Roland City, I don’t care if the entire Napoli Duchy is buried with it.”
“Heh, that’s not necessary,” the man behind Giovanni shook his head.
“If everyone is dead, who will we rule? Furthermore, these people are not enough to make us go that far, are they?”
Hearing the man say this, Giovanni did not say much, only silently shook his head.
“Andrew, with this method of conversion, how many more people can you convert?”
“Don’t rush. All of this takes time.”
“I order you to create an army of over ten thousand within the shortest possible time. I will only give you ten days.”
“Duke Giovanni, is ten days a bit…”
“You can use the resources of the entire Romulus City.”
“Ah… that makes it much easier. Thank you, Duke Giovanni,” Andrew said this, smiling and nodding.
“By the way, you should know the consequences of playing tricks, right?” Giovanni said this. A cold glint flashed in the shadows of the room.
“Of course I know this. My old life was given by you, Duke Giovanni. I will naturally fulfill my mission.”
“In that case, I will await your good news,” Giovanni said this, turned around, and left the room.
Andrew stood in place. Only after the unpleasant aura in the room dissipated, did he let out a cold snort.
“Let’s just tolerate it for a while.”
Subsequently, he also walked out of the room and headed straight for a warehouse in the ducal mansion estate.
…
After bidding farewell to Andrew, Giovanni went directly to the basement of the ducal mansion.
Opening the basement door, an unpleasant odor wafted out.
At this moment, in the basement, Donny was chained to a wooden stake. He saw Giovanni enter the room, his eyes filled with hope.
“Father! Please release me. I feel so uncomfortable right now. We must have misunderstood something before…”
“Apologies, Donny, my child. To make you capable of inheriting the vast territory in the future, this pain is something you must bear,” Giovanni said this, and came before Donny.
“…Father, you mean I still have to stay here…”
“Mm, believe me, Donny. As long as you get through this period, you will be reborn and gain a new life,” Giovanni said this, looked at the button connected to the wooden stake, walked over, and then pressed the button.
Donny, who was on the wooden stake, could no longer speak after Giovanni pressed the button. The burning pain coming from the four iron chains had made it impossible for him to utter anything other than screams.
“The potion I gave you will greatly enhance your body, but currently, you cannot suppress the side effects of the potion. You can only rely on external assistance to forcefully suppress them. Once the side effects dissipate, you will be able to freely control that powerful force.”
“Believe me, Donny. When you truly experience that power, you will thank me,” Giovanni said this, ignoring Donny’s screams, turned his back, and left the basement.
“Keep a close eye on Donny for me. You need to suppress him three more times today,” he ordered coldly.
“As you command,” the shadow that appeared beside him bowed respectfully and accepted the order.
“Come, Lucius,” Giovanni returned to the surface and walked out of the ducal mansion. He looked up and took a deep breath of fresh air.
“This time, I will find you a good burial place.”
