Chapter 623 - Heavenly Toilet
The air was tense with both sides feeling overly confident about their victory.
But unfortunately, there could only be one winner in the end.
Only one would be victorious!
.
Back on the field, several units of warriors quickly took their positions as planned.
The archers steadily advanced under the protection of those with shields.
And as they advanced, they also pulled along several wagons of tubes filled with Black powder too.
Undoubtedly, the warriors also used their shields to protect the wagons from incoming flaming arrows.
Even they knew how bad that would be.
So for sure, they protected these wagons as if it were their lives.
Alec looked at his men carefully make their way as planned, and couldn't help but smile a little.
Clearly, that unfilial son wasn't expecting them, which meant that they probably didn't prepare any counterattacks for today's battle.
Maybe that was why he still didn't see any archers aim at his men below.
He sneered arrogantly at their stupidity.
Hehehhe... Did they think that those walls would be able to protect them forever?
Hmph!
What a bunch of idiots!
He calmly snapped his fingers, and one of the guards beside him hurriedly held out a massive megaphone close to his mouth.
"My dear unfilial son.
The last time that I left, I told you that you will regret it!
I tried to use the easy way, by reclaiming you and your wretched mother as Royals of Arcadina.
But unexpectantly, you turned down my offer and even dared to humiliate my dignified self in front of these lowlifes.
Of course, I, Alec Barn, will always remember this gesture of yours.
So I'm here to take back Baymard as it's rightful owner.
And since you are my son, if you surrender now, I promise to keep you, your people, and your God-forsaken mother alive.
Face it!
There's no way that you could ever win against me and my men.
So drop your inflated ego and open the gates now.
This is your last chance!" Alec said calmly.
.
In his mind, he just wanted to save time and get this over with since he didn't want it to stay on until nightfall.
Additionally, he had already decided to keep Landon alive until he can get all the future ideas in his brain.
If he had known that this unfilial son of his was smart, knowledgeable and creative... then why would he hell would he have driven him away from the Capital?
He would've locked the idiot up in a secluded courtyard and forced him to create new products for Arcadina instead.
That was the only reason why he had decided to keep Landon for the time being.
As for the boy's wretched mother, after sleeping with her in front of his former subordinate (Lucius)... he would then burn them until every last part of them turned into ashes.
He was utterly disgusted by these a.d.u.l.terers.
How dare that b**ch cheat on him?
Landon looked at Alec, took out his own megaphone and scoffed.
"Old man, has anyone ever told you that you talk too much?
Since you're here, then don't waste my time because we Baymardians have never been one to back down from a fight.
So do your worse!"
"Yeah!!!" The soldiers at the back yelled.
At this point, rage had completely overtaken Alec's men.
How dare these exiled peasants talk back at their king?
Who did they think they are?
How dare they reject the offer?
They looked at their king in anticipation, while Alec on the other hand... squinted his eyes and looked at Landon and his men calmly.
Good!
This useless son of his was really bent on wasting his time out here.
Anyway, whether they were on time or not... He would still come out victorious in the end.
So why should he bother?
"Men, Attack!"
"Charge!!!!!!!!!" The men replied in unison.
And just like that, the battle had begun.
.
The men charged forward with determination and vigour.
They moved like an unstoppable tsunami that would end up destroying everything in its path.
Indeed, they were utterly intimidating.
Oden, his family, and even the Caronian soldiers who hadn't witnessed the last Baymardian battle with Penelope.... were also a little bit intimidated by the unyielding aura of their enemies.
And the more the enemy advanced, the more their worries grew stronger.
Oden in particular, kept looking around for archers.
He looked at Landon's calm demeanour, as well as William's playful nature... and felt like strangling them to death.
Why hadn't they made their move yet?
What were they waiting for?
He was about to grumble about the matter with Micheal.
But when he saw Micheal struggling to grab the last bag of ch.i.p.s from him, he immediately felt like committing suicide altogether.
Dammit!
He was surrounded by idiots!
And to think that one of them was his son.
Of course he wasn't the only one who wanted to faint from anxiety... as Murel, Powin and even Penelope's brothers felt like smacking these Baymardian soldiers in the head.
Can you all be serious for once?
Where the hell were the archers?
In short, everyone was filled with various mixed emotions inside.
.
As for Landon, he just smiled and watched the enemies move closer and closer to the targeted regions on the field.
Some of the enemy archers had already gotten into position, and were already giving it their all in tearing down the empire's gates.
They launched the tubes of black powder on the vault-like gate unceasingly.
And as expected, the battle commander in charge of today's ordeal quickly raised his hands and gave out orders to his men.
"Steady... Steady... Prepare to launch attacks in 3... 2... 1... Fire!"
'Boom!'
'Drrrrr!'
The sky cried and the ground shook.
Those who previously doubted Baymard's might, all opened their eyes wide in shock.
They remained speechless and stood frozen like states.
And as for the enemies below, they were even more confused, as they had no idea about what exactly was going on.
Could he be that the ancestors had decided yo poop from above?
Was this place now a toilet for the heavens?
As expected, even heavenly waste was explosive.
[The heavens: (-_-*)]
'Boom!'
