Chapter 418: The Strength of Baron Rosalind
Duke Schmidt’s thunderous voice resounded throughout the entire city, meant to shake the hearts of its people. However, a calm yet authoritative voice swiftly countered his proclamation.
"End today? That remains to be seen. The people of the Rosalind Barony are fighters—you will pay dearly for stepping onto our land," Baron Rosalind declared.
Duke Schmidt sneered at the baron. Their families had never been on good terms. The Schmidt family had done many things behind the scenes to tarnish the Rosalind family, but the Rosalind family, being quite strong and once supported by the first prince, made it impossible to bring them down completely.
The Rosalind family had already put some noble families on edge. Despite their apparent connection with the imperial family for many years and their considerable power, their low-profile nature made many suspicious. They consider the Rosalind family a threat to their faction aligned with the second prince.
Although they claimed to remain neutral, their closeness with the first prince was something that could not be ignored.
"Is that so? You truly will not give up until death comes knocking at your doorstep!" Duke Schmidt sneered.
As he spoke, the lightning cannon of the flying fortress exuded a powerful pressure, one that the Rosalind troops could clearly feel. Crackling electricity surged around it—a clear sign that the cannon was about to unleash its devastating lightning beam.
"Open the barrier! I will step out myself!" Baron Rosalind suddenly ordered, stunning the soldiers around him.
"My lord!—
"Quick!" The baron’s voice carried urgency, making the soldier grit his teeth before swiftly executing his lord’s order. He instructed the operator of the city barrier to deactivate it, and instantly, the barrier came down.
Baron Rosalind floated outside, but he was slightly stunned when Elena followed him beyond the barrier.
