Chapter 626 - Like A True Barn

"YOU DID THIS!" Alec yelled angrily.

"Well, congratulations on using your brain father.

My people and I did it!

So what are you going to do about it?"

--

--Silence--

"Hahahhahahhhhhhhhh!

As expected, you are truly a Barn!"

Alec laughed in rage, as his body trembled violently.

No wonder he didn't see any archers on the walls.

No wonder they were all so calm as if they were just there to watch a show.

So it tuned out that he had been played with all along.

"This son thanks father for his praises.

But this son would like to remind father that he learned from the best.

After all, father had done the same thing to grandfather and uncle, no?" Landon said playfully.

Alec instantly frowned when he heard those words.

One should know that his late father and brother were topics that he never wanted to hear or mention again.

They were seen as taboo topics in Arcadina.

So what gave this little rat the guts to mention them to him again?

The whole thing reminded him that he might also die at the hands of his sons.

Which was enough to scare anyone silly even in their dreams.

James was the first person to attempt to a.s.sa.s.sinate him.

And now, it was this b.a.s.t.a.r.d son of his.

Dammit!

If he had known, he would've strangled Landon as a child way back.

He took a big gulp of air and forced himself to calm down.

Yes!... Getting agitated at this point wouldn't do him any good.

Rather, what he should be focused on, were the G.o.dly weapons that had been used against his men.

He was right!

No matter what, he had to keep Landon alive.

The boy's brain was a national treasure that would make his entire empire rise strength-wise.

And who knows, before he successfully gave his throne to Eli... With these weapons at his disposal, he might have successfully merged all the neighbouring memories with Arcadina's.

Making him the ruler of the entire Pyno continent.

Hahahhahaha!

These G.o.dly weapons were enough to make any army shiver in horror.

Alec's eyes glistened with greed, as he thought about the future.

Right!

All he needed now, was to get some spies to steal the production process and the rest was history.

.

Alec looked in Landon's direction and scoffed.

"Hmph!

It looks like I really did underestimate you.

But not to worry, next time, I'll be sure to bring over 700 men to your doorstep.

Mark my words boy, this isn't the end." Alec said confidently.

And just as he was about to turn around and look for any available horse, he was once again stopped by this unfilial son of his.

"Oh?

Dear father, where do you think you're going?

Did I say that you could go?"

Alec's veins bulged out on his forehead from rage at Landon's words.

Never in his reign as King, had a single person stepped over his dignity time and time again like this little imp was doing.

"You unfilial child!

What can you do to stop me?

Can you stop me from way up there?

Tsk!

I suggest you shut up and let me ride out without a headache." Alec said while clenching his fists as fard as he could.

Having such a son was undoubtedly the biggest mistake in his life.

Landon couldn't be bothered about the funny expressions on his father's face.

He pried his binoculars from his eyes and chuckled a bit.

"Father, do you think that Baymard is the sort of place that you can go and come as you like?

Hm?

You expect me to allow you to walk away, so that you can come back later on and disturb my people's peace again?

Father, what do you take me for?"

"A n.o.body!

Hehehhehehe

I'm guessing that your attacks couldn't reach where I'm currently at, and this is probably why I'm still alive.

So since you can't reach me, your only option would be to send some men after me from the gates.

Sure, your vehicles might be faster.

But do you see this man-made valley here? (large s.p.a.ce created between forest and roads that have traps on them for keeping wild beasts away from the travellers.)

If I jumped down into it and ran into the forest, no matter how dangerous it may be... I would most likely have a chance of survival there.

So little imp!

You are way too young to outsmart me.

Like I said, I'm leaving.

And there's nothing you can do about it!"

"Eh?

Silly father, who said that I can't stop you?

In case you haven't noticed, you're in my territory and under my control!

Men!

Begin operation Golden Goose now!"

"Yes, your majesty!"

.

Immediately, the commander for today's mission spoke through his Walkie Talkie hastily.

And what came next was something that made Alec step backwards a few times in shock.

The statues were alive!

Landon looked at his babies and smiled handsomely.

Of course his babies in question, were the beautiful yet deadly army Tanks below that gave off a feeling of wanting absolute obedience from their victims.

'Drrrrrrrrrrrr!'

The tanks all moved in and pointed their long noses at Alec and his men.

And for demonstrational purposes, one of the tanks fired away at a safe distance.

'Boom!'

"Move, and you'll die!"

--silence--

What the h.e.l.l did they just see?

So it wasn't demons but these Baymardians who had dealt with them?

The rest of Alec's men shivered uncontrollably while thinking of what to do next.

Most of them were already injured, so they had no idea of how to even drag their injured bodies away.

Dammit!

What sort of situation was this?

And opposite from their gloomy appearances, those on the empire's walls looked like they were on cloud 9 right now.

"Hahahhahahahahh!

Did you see that?

Did you F**king see that?

Amazing!"

"Is this the power of these tanks?

Only those who are warrant officers can study or train with them.

So I had no idea of their power."

"Me too!

In fact, whenever I heard those loud explosive sounds, I always thought that these men were practicing with the cannons or missiles.

But who would've known that there was another minister in the works."

"At least you guys knew about the existence of them.

We, the Caronian soldiers, didn't even know that such things existed.

This... This is really an eye-opener for us."

(*□*)

Oden, Micheal and their families watched everything with open mouths that resembled the letter '0'.

They looked at Landon again and sighed.

This guy was the real monster and not those tanks.

How terrifying!

.

Alec on the other hand, quickly came back to his senses after his initial shock.

Screw this!

There was no way that he would allow himself to die without getting his revenge.

He had to escape now and fast!
