Chapter 73: The moment of the final battle had arrived

In the silent hall, the candle flames suddenly began to flicker.

Seeing this, Duncan's brows furrowed tightly, and a strong sense of unease surged within him. He quickly stood up and grabbed the sword lying beside him, preparing to go out and investigate.

Suddenly, a figure burst into the room from outside.

"Master, it's terrible..." A black-clad servant rushed in, panting heavily and hastily said, "Just now, right outside, a group of people broke into the castle, and they brought a horde of exotic beasts with them."

"What did you say?!" Duncan's expression changed dramatically. "How is that possible? What about the patrol guards? How could they not make a single sound?"

Not to mention the guards patrolling the castle's outer walls, the sturdy main gate itself would be difficult to breach even with a direct assault.
