Chapter 653 Thunderous Assault

Ever since news of the two heirs\' deaths spread, the Nuvemze Clan had been on high alert, and the number of people within the clan\'s territory doubled overnight as it received reinforcement from others in the faction.

Naasir understood his older brother well and knew he wouldn\'t do something stupid like killing the Ravesk Clan\'s heir with his unique martial skill. But even if his older brother was innocent, he also understood the Nuvemze Clan would never be free from the blame.

As such, Naasir anticipated the Ravesk Clan would come for revenge. However, he did not know when or how fiercely the Ravesk Clan would retaliate.

"Vice Head, there\'s no need to be stressed over this matter. No matter what, this is imperial capital, where killing is prohibited without justifiable cause. The Ravesk Clan is strong but not strong to the point that they would ignore the imperial laws and kill their way to our doorstep," the head servant reassured reasonably.

Furthermore, the Ravesk Clan and Nuvemze Clan were quite close in power. Now that they also had support from other members of their ducal faction, the Ravesk Clan alone would not be enough to trample them.

Nevertheless, Naasir found no comfort in the head servant\'s words and gave a half-hearted laugh dismissively.

"Without justifiable cause, you say? The heir of the Ravesk Clan was killed by the Invisible Palm Force! That is more than enough justification for the Ravesk Clan to seek revenge, not to mention the imperial laws mean nothing in the face of a major conflict between two dukes."

The emperor had long turned a blind eye to conflicts between the three dukes. As such, no one would intervene in a conflict between two dukes if even the emperor wouldn\'t.

"The Ravesk Clan is not stupid; it is even truer for the Duke Gamliel. If they dare come for revenge, they would naturally take our reinforcements into account. This will not be an easy fight should they come," Naasir added gravely.

"Vice Head made very valid points. It was I who had not seen things clearly and spoke carelessly," the head servant acknowledged his inadequacies but then added, "Still, we have many scouts on the lookout, Vice Head."

"If the Ravesk Clan truly intends to make a move against us, we will be able to discover their large-scale movement very quickly and make preparations for it—"

Boom!

Shortly after the head servant spoke, the Nuvemze Clan\'s front gates were shattered by a strong impacting force, sending stone shards flying inside. Several clan members were struck and injured, and a few were even unfortunately killed.

Everyone inside the Nuvemze Clan\'s territory was shocked as they had no prior warnings of the attack.

No one had seen it coming.

Thud!

With a heavy step, a strong warrior with a powerful and intimidating presence entered the Nuvemze Clan\'s territory and pointed his huge battle mace at the main residence with a ruthless glare.

"Go! Kill the dogs of the Nuvemze Clan and bring me their heads to pay tribute to my son!" Bellor Ravesk barked.

Rumble…!

At the Ravesk Clan Head\'s command, the three-thousand-strong warriors of the Ravesk Clan charged into the Nuvemze Clan\'s open courtyard with high momentum.

"Kill—!" the warriors roared fiercely.

Naasir\'s expression underwent a multitude of emotions as his face turned pale, dark, and finally red.

"Get into formation and fend off the enemy!" Naasir thundered from the third-floor balcony of the main residence.

"Stop them!" many clan members cried with abject fear.

Even though the Nuvemze Clan\'s combined force was greater than the Ravesk Clan, they were overwhelmed by their enemy\'s high momentum.

Puchi! Puchi!

Within moments, blood was spilled, and the main courtyard was painted red by both sides.

Although the Ravesk Clan had high momentum and the element of surprise, they couldn\'t completely make up for the difference in numbers and strength.

Even so, every warrior from the Ravesk Clan was filled with fury and fought like desperate beasts. They slaughtered their foes without any regard for themselves, even if it meant sustaining critical injuries and death. They gave their all to kill their opponents.

The combined casualties of both sides quickly soared into the hundreds in a mere instant. The usual duels between warriors were merely child\'s play in the face of war.

Human lives were fleeting like wheat on a farm as the death reaper harvested.

"H-How could this be?!"

The head servant fell back on his rear as he trembled with fear, clearly horrified by the Ravesk Clan\'s fearless determination.

"Scouts! What the hell were our scouts doing?! With such a large-scale movement, we should have been notified ahead of time!" the head servant barked with dismay.

The Nuvemze Clan had no idea that their scouts had all quietly and mysteriously died before the Ravesk Clan\'s forces arrived at their doorsteps.

A similar situation also happened in the Mujild Clan\'s territory, which was facing the furious onslaught of the Brightglory Clan.

It didn\'t take long before the thunderous news of both places reached Duke Zohar\'s manor, shocking all the high-ranking lords under Duke Zohar.

Bang!

Lord Nuvemze and Lord Mujild simultaneously slammed the table and leaped to their feet in agitation.

"This is absolute madness! The Ravesk Clan and Brightglory Clan are openly disregarding the imperial law and slaughtering people in broad daylight! My Lord, please permit me to return and assist my people! The Ravesk Clan and Brightglory have lost their minds!"

"My Lord, please ask His Imperial Majesty to punish these evildoers! They have gone too far!"

Multiple lords expressed their outrage and pleaded for imperial interference, hoping they could borrow the power of the emperor to overturn the situation and minimize their losses.

However, Duke Zohar shook his head helplessly.

"My Imperial Brother will not intervene in this matter. If he wanted to interfere with the disputes between dukes, he would have done so long ago," Duke Zohar firmly stated, shattering Lord Nuvemze and Lord Mujild\'s hopes.

"We can only rely on ourselves. Let us be swift and lend our aid to the Nuvemze Clan and Mujild Clan," he quickly added, full of gloom.

The rabid dogs under Duke Gamliel were crazier than he had anticipated. No, no matter how crazy they were, they still followed Duke Gamliel\'s will.

In other words, Duke Gamliel permitted such a situation to transpire!

That crazy son of a…!
