Chapter 1518 Time To Round-Up!

Chapter 1518 Time To Round-Up!　　You look at me; I look at you. 

Everyone was in a state of shock. 

They don’t mean to willingly look down on Pyno, but can one blame them for their reaction?

Yes!

They had to admit it was incredibly tough for them to know any other continents except those surrounding Zohl. 

Many say once leaving for further regions, they would meet with all sorts of dangers on the high seas, as well as creatures in such unchartered waters that they, Zohl people, had never ventured. 

Thus, over time, they had been beaten to stay put in their safe bubble, not daring to endeavor too far away from their neighboring continents. 

That said, they still didn’t know how many continents existed in this world… Talk less of knowing how many empires existed in Pyno. 

The ‘Flat’ world seemed to have many mysteries they desperately wanted to uncover for generations, centuries, and thousands of years. 

One should know that back then, they spent most of their time dealing with creatures the size of dinosaurs. 

Imagine! 

Such creatures existed even after the ‘big event’ that wiped out animals 10 times bigger than dinosaurs. 

Anyway, they, as humans, worked hard, putting an end to the tyranny of these giant beasts. 

Back then, they wouldn’t have been able to do it if not for the Heavens, giving a few of them powers to fight these beasts in Zohl. 

And when the beast era was finally over, humans started waging wars against themselves, wanting to swallow all territory greedily.

In the end, Zohl broke out into 14 parts or 14 Empires.

But don’t think it was done overnight. 

.

History was brutal 

At the time, all empires had Coastal cities, towns, and villages, with no one wanting to find themselves smudged in the middle. 

What a joke!

In that case, when leaving Zohl, they would have to sneak past the borders of another empire just to reach the shores. 

This alone was too risky; and no one… No ONE wanted such a situation. 

So even if they had 10 coastal regions, they guarded these places like treasures, especially since it facilitated merchant activities and moved money into the many empires. 

For a moment, the war was on to conquer as many coastal regions as possible while expanding their territories in all directions.

And like so, the wars were fought for centuries and centuries until these 14 empires were established. 

But when things got finally settled, many started developing ‘technologies’ that benefited their everyday lives and not just wars. Though slow, they progressed with a few inspirational ideas from their neighboring empires and continents.

Once Merchants brought foreign goods, many would try to copy and duplicate them.

In that manner, things started picking up, and the people’s knowledge also began to grow with some creating unique items from inspiration.

Too bad when it was finally time to break out of their Zohl shells and see the new world, they were decades and generations behind the very powerful Morgany. 

.

That’s right. 

The seas were conquered, and time waited for no man. 

What’s more, compared to powerful places like Tenola, Veinitta, Morgany, and Lampe (Adonis), they were but specs of dust left in the wind. 

Now, they and Pyno were always seen as places with trashy technologies and living standards.

The weapons they used, their roads that were not all stoned and accessible, and their peasants earning and living far worse compared to their in the big continents were just a few of the reasons why they ranked where they were. 

How many people die from strange diseases, limited knowledge, the air pollution compared to big regions… yada, yada, yada. 

Yup!

Even air pollution was taken into account. 

It was vital to know that all places in this medieval world, no matter how advanced they were, smelled like sh**… (Except Baymard, of course.)

The potent degree was also taken into account since some places knock one out clean with scent alone. 

Ultimately, Zohl and Pyno were always seen as trashy continents, no matter how beautiful their lands were. 

.

Everyone looked at Landon in disbelief. 

How can the savior say his ‘Prestigious’ empire was in Pyno?

It really didn’t add up!

And subconsciously, they lowered their expectations for what his empire would look like, even though they had been amazed by the attire these Baymardians wore. 

Their brains had already made up their minds on what to believe.

Abdi coughed awkwardly. “Well, yes… Erm… Your majesty Landon, no matter where you’re from, we will treat you with the utmost respect just for saving our lives and that of his highness’s.”

”Yes!” Many nodded as though saying: ‘You don’t need to lie about your empire being prestigious just to get their respect. We would honor you anyway.’

’…’

Landon was inwardly helpless.

Why won’t they just believe him? Was Pyno’s reputation that bad?

Ugh… Forget it. 

Time to round things up. 

”You may all be wondering why I saved your highness, saved yourselves, and also saved your empire’s future… And no… I don’t want anything drastic in return but peace.”

…

(-_+)

[Supporters]:… Are you sure?

With one eye open and one eye closed, they started at Landon in disbelief. Who would go all out, use so many resources, as well as put their lives on the line for peace?

Sorry… But they had never had such an ally in these warring times. 

Most people say this but are truly there for hidden agendas. 

So was this a trap?

Gregory was the only one they had ever seen in this entire world that could say such a thing, and they would believe.

In their hearts, everyone else who said the same thing was a con-man. 

[Landon]: (Q_Q)

”I know you’ll find it hard to believe, not after things are settled, why don’t I show you my vision?”

”Fine with me,” Gregory spoke out for the first time since he got here. 

He had been observing the wind of things. 

Yes… He would access this savior of his for himself once the chaos was over. 

Landon chuckled. “Don’t worry; I’ll properly show it all then. But for now, I must leave. General Hilda!”

”Yes, sir!” A stunning woman stepped forward, shocking everyone. 

It was only now they realized there were women in the bunch.

”Keep them safe and stationed here at all times!… I’ll be back!”

Like Batman, he finished out the window. 

And where was he going?

Landon stared at the objects moving on his interface. 

’Cletus Ghoul… You can’t escape your fate as one of my Baymard Prisoners!’

Whoosh!
