A Golden Opportunity

The Duke's power had fallen below rank 5. Yet, he was able to overwhelm Lord Jorand who was at the peak of rank 4.

The Duke's four rank 4s were Prime Minister, Grand Admiral, Duke's eldest son, and Akira.

With Akira defecting and killing Cassius' eldest son, the Duchy had two rank 4s.

Barix Province also had two. In addition to Akira, there was a fierce bald man over eight feet and a ripped physique. He's a peak rank 4 that Jorand used the life strand to enslave.

After years of training, he had now become a shell of a man but an impossibly loyal servant.

Without any regard for his own state, the bald man took on both the Prime Mister and Grand Admiral.

The Duchy certainly was matched by Barix in rank 3s. But in rank 2s and rank 1s, Centaurus heavily outnumbered Barix Province.

It should've been a game-changer and ended the battle by now.
