honestly why was it so easy to attack the nobles

yeah, i wonder about that too. I think they weren't expecting to be attacked at all...honestly, Lukedonia as a whole is lacking and the Lord seems not to notice it --'

Has nothing to do with the surprise attack and more to do with the traitor are older than all of the current clan leaders. Remember, how long you've been living means a lot in this manga, a person who has been alive for about 750 years ago can't match the traitors who probably been living for more than 1000 years ago. Power and experience is based on how old you are. The traitors are the same age as the current lord's father, who went to internal sleep willingly. So their strength is beyond that of the current ones. Granpa has the exact same strength of them but without a soul weapon he doesn't stand a chance. And the traitor are very cheep in fighting they can't fight one on one since they all desire to attack together, so that equals the nobles getting their ass whoop. <3
