**Duke of Sengoku** is the forty-third episode of Season 1 of the Neo Alliance series.

## Synopsis

The Legion of Horus attempts an invasion in the World of Sengoku to prevent Neo Alliance to call for aid. But many unexpected things are happening during this invasion.

## Plot

The Legion of Horus arrives to the World of Sengoku with their warships. They planned to cut Neo Alliance's help from the remaining empires. Rifai has a few doubts as their accomplice is the reason why their objectives in the World of Sengoku are canceled. Warzo tells him to calm down as he has other plans in store.

At an outpost of the the United Empires, they see the warships and tried to send a message but the Legion cut off their communication. They soon wiped out the Kurokage Soldiers and took advantage of the outpost. Unbeknownst to them, a human was watching from a distance. The human returns what reveals to be remnants of the Sigurd Empire. They are reunited with their leader. Sigurd shows them a hidden cave filled with sleeping creatures called Inves.

Back at the Gaim Empire City, a Kurokage Soldier reported that the outpost earlier hasn't reported back in time and detected a large number of ships in the sky. Gaim calls Neo Alliance for investigation in case of Legion of Horus activity.

Sigurd and the remnants sneaked to the outpost. They were successful until they shot a DarkArmora and another alerted the outpost of the infiltration. Sigurd then releases the wild Inves from their stasis pods using timed grenades and unleashes them on the outpost.

The activity is detected by Duke, who releases his troops to go terminate Warzo. The activity is detected by Neo Alliance. They flew to the location to investigate, discovering Duke in the middle of sending his troops. He sets some of his Kurokage Soldiers after the four, but Cross and Whizaru bursts through the explosions and begins pursuing him. Eyes and Icea begin mowing down the coming enemy. Warzo walks to the hallways seeing the dead bodies of DarkArmoras and the remnants. When he reaches his seat. He finds Sigurd and the rest of the remnants surrounding him. The duo continues their pursuit of Duke, despite having to contend with Kurokage Soldiers and Inves. After they have taken them out, Duke disappears underground, and they follow him.

On the outpost, Warzo finally kills the remaining remnants of the Sigurd Empire, but Sigurd runs away. Before Warzo gave chase, the Inves attack intensifies as well as interference of the Duke Empire, and Warzo finally checks on what's going on outside.

Eyes and Icea finish off the last of the Duke Kurokage Soldiers that were attacking them, and start looking for the others. Their comrades is currently deep underground hunting Duke. Meanwhile, Warzo goes outside and sees the madness caused by both Inves and the Duke Empire.

Cross and Whizaru exchanges fire with Duke, and manages to maneuver Duke and causes him to fall into an acidic pool left by the Inves, which promptly kills him and ends the Duke Empire. The Inves and the Duke Empire attacking were soon wiped out by each other and the Legion of Horus. The surviving members tried to relax but got ambushed by Ruthor and Hamari flying another ship. The Legion was forced to retreat.

The Neo Alliance members arrived to the Gaim Empire City and the empire leaders thanks them for destroying the Inves and defeating the Duke Empire in the progress. Hamari asked what are the Inves. Zangetsu tells them that the Inves were experimental experiments that are left by ancestors of the World of Sengoku to destroy their enemies. But they were abandoned ever since the World Council started. The Neo Alliance members started to pack up. Zangetsu brings up Ryugen. Cross tells Zangetsu not to worry as his death will not be in vain.
