Chapter 721 - Mr. Nice Guy
Fabian looked at Jamison and scoffed.
He would deal with this traitor later on.
But for now, he had to take Landon out first.
Since he knew of the mine's existence, then they had to act fast.
.
"Your majesty... If I were you, I would act smartly.
Do you really think that you can win us if we go to battle?
Carona will not help you in this matter, so you will have to battle us with the few people you have if it comes down to it.
And we all know how that will turn out.
So as your elder, I advise you to not disgrace yourself and yield wisely.
Because we, the nobles of Menda town will fight you in this matter.
We will not leave Menda city.
Not now, not ever!" Fabian bellowed loudly.
And instantly, the other nobles arrogantly lifted their chins and felt their fighting sports rise even further.
"That's right your majesty, with our forces combined, you won't stand a chance.
So this is our last warning to you as a former Arcadinian Prince."
"Yes!
We will battle it out with you for the ownership of that copper mine."
"Hmhm!
We will do our best to fight for his majesty Alec Barn's copper mine."
(-_-)
Landon almost rolled his eyes while listening to them.
Who were they trying to fool?
Please, leave my bastard father out of this, alright?
"If you all decide to go against me, then you will lose the chance to sell your properties.
And when that chance is gone, your fates might not be as easy as they are now.
That said, are you all still willing to go against me?"
"Of course!
Who are you trying to bluff?"
"Your majesty Landon Barn, do you think that we were born yesterday?
Do your worse!"
(*^*)
.
They all spoke angrily when they heard Landon's warning.
Puiii!
Who was he pretending for?
Everyone knows that Baymard doesn't have that many knights to begin with.
And all their help comes from Carona.
Yes!
This was a fact that everyone within the Pyno continent knew of.
The newly established Baymardian empire had never gone to war or fought battles because of Carona's protection.
That's why they could sit there peacefully.
But how could Fabian have known that he was wrong?
Contrary to what they believe, Baymard had already gone to war.
But, they had always closed their borders and prevented the news from leaking out.
In short, even when Alec and his men had attacked Baymard... those who saw Alec's army whilst on their way to Riverdale city, were later told that the army was just a group of nobles and their forces that came to visit Landon officially.
Of course many believed the news because no one had seen any dead bodies anyway.
And just like that, Baymard had always covered up their asses when battling.
Even those who saw Nopline's fleet and stopped their trip to Baymard, also received word that those sh.i.p.s only came for visitation alone.
At first they were confused, but they soon believed it because there were no signs of any wrecked sh.i.p.s around.
Additionally, many people said that the Coastal port only closed down because of some dangerous sea creatures.
And the next day when they left Baymard, the sea was clean with no debris or shipwrecks at sight.
So of course they would believe it.
At this point, many across the Pyno continent believed that Baymard never experienced any battles because of Carona's protection.
But sooner or later, they would realize how wrong they were... Especially Nopline, Ulrich and others who tried to go against those under Landon's protection.
In fact, the entire Capital of Terique would soon realize just what Baymard could do.
And the truth might only be revealed months later.
But by then, it would be too late for these nobles before Landon who assumed that he was weak.
For now, all their masks had been torn so there was no going back.
They had to fight for his majesty Alec Barn!
.
In Fabian's mind, the few men that Baymard had were all used to protect its empire.
That was probably why just a tiny fraction of people were sent out to their town.
And when he thought about it more, he felt more confident in his plans because over the years, Arcadina had done some pretty bold stiff towards Carona... but Carona had never retaliated because Arcadina was ridiculously large, overpopulated and had 40% more forces than Carona.
So even if he acted against Lanson, he would say that he was acting in Alec's interest.
In that way, Carona wouldn't dare to retaliate in the slightest.
Who would want to face Alec's wrath?
Again, there were a total of 6 main clan branch families here.
But because they were branch families, they had just about 4,000 knights in each clan.
Nonetheless, if they join forces, how could Landon be their equal?
He didn't believe that Landon would be ready to face a force of 24000 people without Carona's help.
Hehehehe...
The fool had no one to blame but himself.
Yes!
They would fight the bastard to death if they have to.
After all, they are fighting for their king as well.
Fabian was now in a good mood when he thought about it again.
His majesty Alec Barn's name was really powerful.
[Alec: .... can you all let me rest in peace? (T^T)]
.
Landon looked at the group before him and smirked.
Since they wanted to do so much, then his brother William shouldn't blame him too much right?
Fabian felt more irritated when he looked at Landon's calm expression.
"Your majesty... I'm going nowhere!
You will have to personally drag me out before I can leave this town."
"Yeah!
You'll have to drag us out before we leave!"
"That's right!"
"Okay!
As you wish."
Everyone: "_"
'Your majesty, why can't you follow the script?
Will begging us kill you?'
Landon couldn't be bothered by them and decided to grant their wish as soon as possible, so he turned towards one of the Baymardian soldiers in the room.
"Captain Flint!
From now on, there's no need to hide in the shadows anymore.
So tell the move to move out immediately!"
"Yes, your majesty!"
"Oh!... and one thing.
Since I'm a nice guy, I want you to make sure that they get their wish as well.
I want them dragged out of the town too."
Everyone else: "_"
