Chapter 862 - Into The Hidden Fortress
Henry looked at the vehicles in amazement and awe.
It wasn't just him, as everyone else felt itchy and wanted to rush in and take a look.
Because of Henry's unique situation, they've never left Deiferus for years now.
So they only saw images of these several cars, trains, bicycles and buses on newspapers and whatnot.
That's why seeing the real thing up close almost gave them a heart attack.
Henry's lips quivered, and his hands shook as he anxiously started at Landon.
"Brother, can I take a look?"
"Sure.
But why don't we go in first?
I'm sure some of your men also want to take a look as well.
So we can do all that while we're inside."
Henry's men looked at Landon gratefully before looking at their master in an aggrieved manner.
'Master, how can you think of seeing it alone?
What about us?
Didn't you say that we were family?
Master, is this how fast you've forgotten is?'
(T^T)
Henry smiled awkwardly before getting back on his horse.
With that, they led Landon and his crew into a vast cave.
At the entrance, the cave could only allow one carriage or vehicle to go in at a time.
But as they advanced, the cave began expanding.
It was huge and had several tunnels as well.
Henry and his men escorted their visitors in for a full 34 minutes before they exited the complex cave.
Landon looked at the scene before him as nodded with satisfaction.
He had to say that this particular base was well hidden compared to the one he last saw when he saved William from Connor and James.
As expected of the late God of War's secret base.
The hidden impenetrable fortress was properly camouflaged and blended in very well with the surroundings just right.
Even Landon had a hard time spotting if what he saw were buildings or not.
Henry truly had a great grandfather.
.
The gang drove in for another 30 minutes while matching the pace of the horses.
And finally, they arrived at their destination.
As expected, there were over 17 different buildings within the place, and a total of 4 walls, diving the base into sectors.
Vrrrmmmmm.
The knights who were training stopped and stared at the vehicles with their mouths wide open.
Instantly, their bodies responded to their excitement, making them stare without looking away.
In the face of shocking and jaw-dropping technology, their concentration during training had flown out the window.
What a joke.
How often do they get to see such things?
Everyone stared like mindless happy Zombies.
Landon looked out the window and smiled before facing Henry, who was walking alongside his window on horseback.
"Your base is good."
"Thanks.
It was my grandfather's."
'I know,' Landon thought.
"Alright, let's focus on something more important."
Henry's heart rate increased rapidly, and his face turned serious: "Yes, we do have important matters to discuss."
"Exactly.
Nothing is more important than this matter.
It's a do or die-affair that must be solved as soon as possible."
"Brothers, I know.
It's about this war, right?"
"War?
Who the hell was talking about that?"
"_"
Henry scrunched his face in confusion.
"Brother, aren't we talking about the upcoming battle?"
"Eh?
Why would I talk about that here?
What I'm talking about is way more important than that."
Henry's mind was piqued, and he couldn't help coming up with many unexpected theories and conclusions.
What could brother Landon mean?
What could be more important than this war?
Wait!
Is there something else that or didn't know?
Instantly, he became anxious.
"Brother Landon, what could be more important?"
"Eh?
You really don't know?"
"Not a clue, brother.
So what is it?"
"Well, it's food."
"_"
Henry felt like his ears were blocked.
He didn't hear what he thought he heard, right?
"Brother, did you just say food?"
"Yup!
That is the most important thing."
"_"
.
Forget it.
Henry looked at Landon helplessly.
How could he forget that his brother of his liked to tease him?
Was it because he was younger than him by a measly year?
Henry felt like he was being bullied.
Landon chuckled playfully
"little brother Henry, why do you always look at me like this?
I'm being serious.
My men and I haven't eaten lunch yet because we were rushing to get to you.
So to us, food is the most important thing right now.
Or do you want us to starve to death?
I thought you would be happy to see us and would prepare a large feast for us.
But sadly, it looks like I was mistaken.
Sigh... It looks like you never thought of feeding us at all.
Just look at how pitiful we are?"
Henry glared at Landon: "when did I say that I won't? Before going out to meet you, I already asked the kitchen to prepare a hearty meal. We've spent an hour just entering the base. So by now, the food should be ready."
"Hehehhehehe.
As expected, you did prepare a meal for us."
"Ugh.
When did I ever say that I didn't?"
Henry shook his head wryly.
He could never beat this brother of his in a mouth battle.
Earlier on, he left the fortress speedily, using around 35 minutes to get to Landon.
But since they are walking back, they spent a little over an hour before getting here.
So it's been close to 2 hours now, and the kitchen should have something already made.
And even if it wasn't ready, it shouldn't be long before they could eat.
.
"Brother, are you sure you won't sleep in the fortress buildings?"
"No.
We have comfortable beds here.
So we'll sleep here.
Don't worry, after I show you the inside of the vehicle, you'll understand."
Henry nodded in understanding.
The gang advanced further until they bypassed the 4th gate within the estate.
They parked their vehicles in formation and only allowed people to tour the vehicles used for sleeping and eating.
Of course, everyone went crazy.
They touched the vehicles and almost kissed them.
What sort of material did they use to make the interiors?
More still, what was used to make the thing called tires?
They also stared at the clear glass windows and the cool designs used in the vehicles' interior and exterior.
At this point, they felt like rushing Henry to take the damn throne so that they could go to Baymard on vacation.
Again, before coming here, Henry had ordered many solar Tvs and cassettes.
But the goods will only be given to him after all the enemies were taken care of, lest his men get distracted.
.
Anyway, they had their meal very soon.
And following that, Landon, Henry and a few others made their way to Henry's office.
It was time to get down to business.
