Chapter 1828 The Promised Land - 2
Bahahahahhahahahha~
A stream of burly evil laughter erupted in the space. A towering man with bulging chests and a well decorated attire, stood with his back to his subordinates whilst peering into the fire. His subordinates all stood in a relaxed manner, seemingly enjoying the thought of being around their master. The issue at hand was indeed serious, but no one felt it was something they couldn't handle. Understand that as of now, they have not yet taken action against the so-called Female Phantom King. Bahahahahahahahahaha~
Their master laughed evilly, placing his large palm on his face and finding it all amusing "Interesting… And they say it's a woman who dares to challenge me so blatantly?" One of his subordinates chuckled: "Master, it appears you've been quiet for so long that people might have forgotten what it's like to feel your wrath." "Indeed…" Viscount Camelot smirked. His wrath was one thing, but it was rare for someone to still go against him so openly after knowing who his backer was. His wrath was one thing, but it was rare for someone to still go against him so openly after knowing who his backer was. They were either, blind, crippled or crazy to do such suicidal actions. But as they say; as you make your bed, so shall you lie on it. "Tsk. To think they will dare to steal and rob our site…" suddenly, his voice grew cold, while throwing the secret letter into the fire. "I only hope that for their sake, that little act of theirs, ends there… or else… heh." Viscount Camelot's entire body quaked with a dangerous light, not knowing that the information he received hadn't included the most recent attack from Tilda on another site. If he knew, he wouldn't be laughing in amusement, but gnashing his teeth in fury, especially after hearing that the vault had been emptied out before the place came crumbling down. Understand that even now on the first site Tilda's people attacked and brought down, Viscount Camelot and many others thought that most of their money and wealth from the sale site was still buried underground alongside the destruction of the campsite. Fuck! Do you know how much treasure is in there? You would take at least 2 months to move everything out. They believed in their capabilities such that they didn't believe that anyone could move everything out without them noticing during these past 2 months prior to the attack. Mind you, they said at least 2 months. Meaning it could even take up to 6 months to clear the entire place. So with that conclusion in mind, the treasures and coins from the attacked sites should be buried underneath the ground with all the rubble. Thus, if they should dig out the rubble and find nothing, they definitely wouldn't be here smirking cheekily. Heck! They didn't even know that Tilda had struck again, nor did they know of the intricate underground pathway Landon had spent the last year and a half building for Tilda on his own, each time he warps over. Yes. The current hideouts and the Promised Land Tilda was leading the people to, was dug up by Landon himself. He connected tunnel paths that could take people 1 month on horseback traversing underneath the many forest paths, heading surprisingly closer to the East side of Dafaren. No underground paths went into the cities, towns or villages. For safety sake, everything stretched underneath the deep, deep, dangerous forest zones. Thanks to the system, Landon already knew were all Slave camps were. But because it was up to Tilda to find them, he couldn't necessarily pinpoint them out. Still, he dug up resting sites not too far away from the major cities or sites where these camps were located. Some were 29 hours away and others were 4 days away. Anyway, he didn't want to make it so obvious. He, Landon, built tunnels that bended, curved and winded, leading to resting places deep within the forest.
For example, the place Tilda was currently at, was underneath a land site very close to a particularly foul smelly swamp site. The smelly, green, knee-length swamp was all anyone would focus on when reaching this area. It was odd to say that the land adjacent the swamp wasn't as soft or moistened as its surface might let anyone believe. What Landon found was that far, far, underneath its surface, were large boulders that had been covered up over time. The entire grounds site was filled with rocky gigantic boulders and smaller stones that formed a perfect foundation for an underground hideout. Of course, Landon didn't build it so close to the swamp, but gave a good distance before chiseling through the rocks and creating a small human-sized ant colony below. After that, he also secured any gaps and spaces, wanting this structure to last for hundreds and thousands of years. This was the place Tilda was resting at. And above the land, especially during this winter time, the swamp gets clumpy like a slushy and the air grows misty too. What Landon loved the most about his underground work was that no matter the noise they make underground, those above won't be able to do anything. All resting places are connected with intricate tunnels that have traps and illusionary confusing works intended for intruders. Yes, Landon did his best to ensure Tilda grew her forces to the max. But for the Promised Land, it wasn't connected to any of these tunnels. Once you leave the main tunnel, 1 day away from Luxburg Town in distance, you will have to move in the opposite direction from Luxburg Town, and go through another murderous path to find the tunnel. There are 3 aim paths you can take: one is in a cave underwater, another is insidde an Alice wonderland hole, needing you to crawl in first. These first 2 are only known by Tilda and a few others. The last one is the more public one for her people, the one used to transport wagons and goods in. The passage looks so natural, and you would never know there was a secret tunnel there. First of all, the area where the passage was located was filled with oversized plants and giant dinosaur-like trees that made any human look like an ant. As said before, the beeper one goes into the forest, the more dangerous and unbelievable it becomes. Although animals here aren't as big as dinosaurs, their sizes were bigger than regular beasts. Guarding the passageway are special plants called Tulingials. There is a special way to let these Tulingials give way. These Tulingials are just the frost line of defense. There are many others along the way before meeting the Tunnel. All in all, Landon made sure Tilda had a place to call home while in Dafaren.
