Chapter 722 - A New Beginning

Fabian and the rest looked at Landon in a daze before finally coming back to their senses.

And by the time they had realized what was going on, several Baymardian soldiers burst into the room like locusts.

’Bam!!!’

"Everyone, get on your knees now!!"

Instantly, some of the bibles did as they were told when they saw fully covered soldiers burst in with strange weapons in their hands.

They were really confused about how these people knew when to burst into the room.

But of course, the orders were sent out by Walkie Talkie by one of the Baymardian soldiers in the room.

Additionally, they didn’t notice that while Landon had been talking to them, he had also been making several hand signals to his men to tell the rest in hiding to quickly surround the building.

Hehehehe... since all the major forces were gathered here, how could he not take advantage of this and deal with them all at once?

These nobles quickly did as they were told and knelt in fury.

"You can’t do this to us!

We are Arcadinian men, and we refuse to go down without a fight!"

"That’s right!

Aren’t you ashamed of using this sneak attack on us?

What sort of cowardly king are you?

How can you use us as hostages?

If you’re a real man, then let us go and battle us head-on."

"Yeah!

If you let us go, then we promise to let you walk out of Menda town without a scratch.

We have more forces combined than you do, so let us go and make it easier for yourself."

"You let us go!"

"Let us go!"

"Let us go!"

Landon looked at them without a hint of emotions on his face.

"Noisy."

(:Y^Y:)

.

Everyone felt like they had been slapped on the face by Landon’s comment.

And before they could react, the massive silver door opened once more and in came some battered-looking men.

’Bam!’

’Plup!’

Several battered-looking men were tossed into the room by some of the Baymardian soldiers.

Of course, the battered men in question were the guards of these nobles who previously surrounded the building while waiting for their masters.

There they were standing outside peacefully and even cracking several jokes here and there.

And out of nowhere, men who had perfectly blended in with their surroundings took them down in a flash.

Some of them were attached by witches and warlocks that made them fall asleep, while others were knocked in the head and attacked brutally.

Those that fell asleep were tied and left outside, while those that were attacked were sent into the room to meet their masters.

They looked as if they had just come out of a boxing match.

Their bodies had red swollen spots on them, which indicated that they had been punched violently.

And their faces looked like it needed some plastic surgery.

Those who saw them couldn’t help but wonder if some sort of war had broken outside, or if they had entered a fight club or something.

Seeing their own men thrown into the room, they looked at them in disdain.

What were they paying them if they were still this weak?

What a bunch of trash!

Now they only hoped for backup to rescue them, even though they knew that it wouldn’t be happening any time soon... at least not until those from their clans notice their sudden disappearance.

After all, as elders, they had numerous appointments and schedules daily.

So if they missed an appointment, someone might rush to their clan to look for them.

And depending on how important that appointment was, the person would be sent over here.

Heavens!

they hoped that someone would notice soon.

But how could they have imagined that their clans were currently in a mess right now?

For them, it was just too impossible for Landon to attack them all at once.

Landon sneered and released his murderous aura.

And immediately, many trembled and some even peed themselves.

.

"Do you all take this king as a fool?

First, you tried to deceive this king into removing the rules.

Then, you threatened the king again.

Tell me, shouldn’t this kind just kill you all now?"

"D...don’t kill us, your majesty.

We are just worthless beings and aren’t important enough to get your attention.

We are ants... Just useless ants!"

"Yes, your majesty.

It was the devil who tempted us."

(:Y∆Y:)

Everyone was really scared and trembled hard as if their lives depended on it.

They looked nothing like the proud men who previously lashed out.

Oh, how the tables have turned.

Landon looked at them and scoffed.

"I, as a righteous king with a noble character, decided to listen to your concerns and help you settle into the new rules.

But none of you liked my efforts.

So I decided to send you all away after burning your properties fair and square.

But once again, you decided to go against me and challenge me.

Heh...

So you really think that I have no forces to crush you all?

Throughout these past few weeks, my men have been watching your properties in hiding.

They had already infiltrated your estates both inside and outside... and were just waiting for my command to make a move.

You see, I only wanted to give you all a chance to come clean with me and aid me in developing this town.

Oh... and maybe you don’t know this, bit Arcadina as a new ruler now.

So your old king is no longer king."

"Impossible!

His majesty Alec Barn himself declared that he wouldn’t leave the throne for the next 5 to 10 years." Fabian exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone felt like they were dreaming when they listened on.

What new king?

.

"Hmhm... the old man did say that.

But now things are different." Landon said while taking out the original doc.u.ment.

And the moment the nobles saw it, they knew that it was true.

However, they couldn’t help wondering why the Baymardians came up with several excuses earlier on when they asked to see it.

When they thought about it more and saw Landon’s sly smile, they knew they had been had!

That said, your new king had personally issued a letter requesting that if you all don’t want to work with me, then you all have to leave with your forces and head straight for Arcadina’s Capital.

So since you’ve sworn an oath to be loyal to Arcadina, then you have to go, no?

And because you dared to threaten this sovereign, then you will leave your properties behind and even all the wealth in your treasuries.

Everything within your clan now belongs to Baymard.

Additionally, you will only be allowed to leave with just a few coins, carriages, all your clothes and carriages too.

Now you can start a brand new life in the Capital, isn’t that great?

Tsk!

I had warned you earlier on about the consequences of challenging me.

So you have no one else to blame but yourselves.

Men!

Drag them out!

And as for Viscount Fabian, lock him up!!"

"Yes, your majesty!"
