Thus, even in the face of impending doom, the guards stood their ground without flinching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill them all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, a black magic circle surged forth from Phield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Divine Artifact — The Ring of Sin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Corrupted Greatsword Warriors’ speed surged instantly. Like a pack of wolves, they charged forward without the slightest regard for whether gleaming spears or razor-sharp blades were aimed at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roaring savagely, the warriors hurled themselves into the shield wall one after another. Raising their swords high, they struck down with raw, overwhelming force—no finesse, no technique, just brutal power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood sprayed like curtains, splashing outward and lingering in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than five minutes—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hall descended into utter chaos, resembling a slaughterhouse. The stench of blood was nauseating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain of the guard, Zet, could no longer maintain formation. The remaining guards were forced into individual combat. Amid flashing blades, living men were cut down like livestock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two Corrupted Greatsword Warriors swung their blades down at him, the sheer force of their strikes humming violently through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zet had earned his position as captain—he was no weakling. His magic surged as he raised his shield to block left, then drove his broadsword forward with precision, stabbing into a greatsword warrior’s neck and twisting hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He killed one—but his shield shattered under the impact. Forced onto the defensive, Zet retreated while desperately parrying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it, they’re all magic-infused warriors—we’re no match!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His iron sword was riddled with chips, emanating the foul stench unique to corruption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Run!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice disruptive to morale rang out. Zet followed the sound and spotted a servant trying to slip away in the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No running—Lightning Cyclone Slash!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zet rushed forward, grabbed the servant, and drove his sword straight into him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The servant screamed, clutching his chest as he collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They must not know where the lord has gone!\" Zet roared. \"Kill all the servants!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before his words could even settle—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A jade-green poisoned arrow pierced straight through his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zet clutched his neck in disbelief, trying to speak, but only a broken gurgle escaped his shattered windpipe. His face twisted in horror as he looked toward Phield, who had fired the arrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darkness closed in on his vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This weapon’s usually useless, but it works pretty well for sneak attacks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With their captain dead, the guards lost all will to fight the invaders. Instead, they turned their blades on the servants, chasing them down and cutting them apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ruthless... at this rate, no one will survive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Phield was taken aback. He immediately shouted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyone who wants to live, come over here! Surrender and you’ll be spared! Adrian doesn’t even treat you as human—you earn a few silver coins a month, and you’re risking your lives for him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the servants immediately fled toward Phield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The greatsword warriors clashed with the pursuing guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, every guard was annihilated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping over piles of corpses, Phield casually grabbed a maid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where did Adrian go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"H-He... he escaped through a secret passage... I don’t know where it leads, my lord, I really don’t!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid answered through sobs, trembling like a quail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me help you remember.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phield pressed his blade to her throat—and immediately caught the stench of urine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord, we really don’t know!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other servants huddled together, not daring to meet his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing no signs of deception, Phield felt an urge to start killing out of frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like I’ll have to have the cavalry search outside the city.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, his eyes fell on a fair-skinned man with shifty eyes, who kept glancing toward a stone seat in the center of the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phield’s thoughts raced. Then he let out a cold laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that’s where you’re hiding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He strode forward, magic surging, and brought his sword down onto the stone seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To his surprise, it didn’t budge. Faint magical fluctuations rippled across its surface, absorbing the damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s awkward... what is this thing made of?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phield scratched his head. He had expected it to shatter instantly. Fortunately, the scene was too grim for anyone to laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bring that one here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pointing at the man with the small eyes, the greatsword warriors immediately seized him and threw him before Phield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is the secret passage, right? Open it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man stiffened, trying to act tough. \"I-I don’t know...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Skin him alive. Let’s see if he still ’doesn’t know.’\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phield revealed a terrifying smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That should help him remember something important.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhh! My lord, I remember! This is Lord Adrian’s secret passage!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man spoke rapidly, terrified Phield might not be satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I really can’t open it! Only a mage can—it’s said to withstand fifth-tier magical attacks!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it... who designs a hidden passage this sturdy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where does it lead?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The stables to the east!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good thing I prepared a backup.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phield immediately issued orders through the black crow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ashina, head to the stables. Do you remember Adrian’s scent?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I remember it. Anyone who’s your enemy—I never forget their scent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good. Capture him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon arriving at the stables, Ashina’s nose twitched. Following the scent, she quickly located a cellar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside lay another hidden passage—but judging by the traces, Adrian hadn’t emerged. He was hiding somewhere within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s flush him out with fire.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief moment of thought, Ashina ordered the Drakewolf to unleash dragonfire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within three minutes, Phield heard frantic footsteps and screams echoing from underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the grinding of stone, the seat in the hall slowly shifted aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several figures, blackened by smoke, stumbled out in a miserable state, their bodies carrying the faint aroma of roasted flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn, you smell good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, well, well... if it isn’t Adrian. It’s only been a few days—how did you fall this low?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phield strode forward and slapped Adrian to the ground, then dragged him like a dead dog into the center of the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can’t kill me! The wrath of the Ross family is beyond what you can bear!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian trembled, yet still held his head high, protesting with arrogance and fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve captured a noble. Treat me accordingly—I can give you limitless wealth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, of course, Mr. Adrian.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phield thought to himself: No rush—I haven’t had my fill yet. Why would I kill you so quickly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Killing him in one strike would be mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After ordering the greatsword warriors to restrain Adrian, Phield stepped outside to assess the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Alice broke in while he was busy dealing with Adrian, that would be troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, Alice and Rosalia were locked in a stalemate, neither able to overcome the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huff... I can’t hit her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalia rested the greatsword on her shoulder, breathing heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cunning little thing... only knows how to fight from a distance, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1139,"2026-06-03T12:17:36.481Z","2026-06-03T12:17:43.354Z",1,"novelbin.me","4c647c0fddf4fa1c1dee1ece4957ae9a4cf5a3af51e4b544afd497b1495c4592","the-exiled-lord-my-maid-is-a-battle-goddess-chapter-215","the-exiled-lord-my-maid-is-a-battle-goddess-chapter-213",303,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-exiled-lord-my-maid-is-a-battle-goddess-cover.jpg"]
