The Last Castle: Humanity is the idle aristocracy in a world run by slaves of four alien races, until one of those races, the Meks, revolt and start destroying the humans' castles. The nobles don't react to the revolt of the Meks, preferring to die instead of fighting. Only one of them, Xanten of Haghedorn castle, decides to react and fight the Meks looking for all the humans thinking like him. Finally, after a short and hard battle Xanten wins and sends the surviving Meks to their native planet, Etamin 9.
