Chapter 1499 Ready For Action Heh.
Mushu inwardly sneered, thinking of why he allowed these enemies of his into his fortress.
How stupid do you think he was?
He Mushu had 2 Fortresses scared about the Capital's perimeters.
This fortress wasn't even his main one. His real fortress was far bigger and more secure than this one.
That's right. He allowed them to see this site to make them focus on it. And during the time leading to the killing period, he would keep drawing their attention to this fortress.
What can kill a man is being too sure and too confident.
He planned to get them here, surround this place and kill them all during the killing period!
And with his acting, he had also made them believe the only reason he showed them was because he was forced to by the T.O.E.P.
After all, just like Camila, his mission involved putting Cletus on the throne
So what choice does he have?
Cletus was greatly pleased, being his victory so close.
Look! Aren't these 'frenemies' of his all bending to his wills now?
Hahajahha~
Monarch! Monarch!
Finally, his long-time dream would be fulfilled!
.
"Duke Cletus, with all your men gathered, it's time we reassess things for the big battle a day away. The same goes for you both."
Mmmm...
Everyone had stern expressions.
Though they already knew victory was there, one still had to be careful, especially with Gregory's dogs (ministers) running about vigilantly.
"Over the past few months, my men have been arriving in batches, little by little. And now, we have 21,289 men in total."
"Hmmm... And what about you, Duchess Camila? I take it you have hidden forces too, no?"
Camila swallowed hard but still maintained her charming smile, not adding to lie about the matter.
Why must her powers work for Cletus' benefit?
Hmph!
Think beautifully!
.
The words from the lords made Camila visibly relax in her seat.
The Lords didn't ask about Mushu's situation since they had long known all they should about his matters.
"Now then, Duke Cletus, it's best to remind you that we are only here to assist you. The deal was for us to assassinate Gregory and aid you in sitting on the throne. But that doesn't mean you won't be handling most of the work."
Cletus suddenly felt nervous.
"Duke Cletus, you need not feel anxious. We will still assassinate his highest Gregory and the few ministers too. And though Lord Mushu and Lady Camila and a few others will aid you, the majority of work will fall on your shoulders."
The men left things on that note.
If this guy couldn't even control the many opposing nobles and forces in the Capital to abide by his orders, why bother thinking of the throne?
With Gregory dead, the throne would be open for anyone to grab. So if another contender (a person not belonging to the T.O.E.P) arose and took the seat even after all they've done, then this guy was really useless!
Back in Alec Barn's day, they also aided him, still leaving all the work for him to fight against.
The real go they gave was the impeccable information they had gathered.
And just like Alec's time, they had gathered everything about Gregory for Duke Cletus.
He had the schedule for every single thing Gregory would do on the coronation day.
He also knew about the many ministers' plans and how many knights would get stationed everywhere.
So only trash would not be able to win in such an advantageous scenario.
.
Like so, the enemy forces gathered to iron things out, while the many air force units collected all they could.
Time seemed to play a quick game on many.
And in no time, the morning had come.
Landon tightened his grip on his weapon.
Today would determine their outcome for tomorrow!!
