Chapter 1919  An Unexpected Ending

"Save us!" "Save us!" Many cries bellowed across the open space, as many attempted fleeing but found themselves in even more agony when the attacks from above landed. Sweat stung Tumi\'s eyes like Vipers when staring at his freedom ahead. Tumi felt Adonis must truly be with him when seeing how great he was at dodging the attacks. All around was nothing but a whirlwind of disorder and violence. However, Tumi stayed sharp and focused, rushing towards the docks like crazy. \'Almost there… almost there…\'

The closer he came, the wider his eyes grew. Hah-hah!!!~

He made it! Reaching the docks, he quickly ascended the board connecting the deck to the dock. But just as he was about to dish out orders, he suddenly realized how incredibly quiet the ship was. "Well, well, well… dear guest, going somewhere?"

"_"

…

-Silence-

Tumi\'s face collapsed when seeing the many Zalipnian shadow guards sitting in all corners on the ship and the deck. Typically, Tumi would have long noticed their presence, giving his superior skills.

But because he was still so shaken by the attacks previously, he didn\'t notice them when coming aboard. Dammit! It seems that while they were fighting for their lives out there, these Zalipnians were sneaking onto their ships in numbers, eliminating those guarding the ships. And now, they took full control, sitting in wait for the returning Adonis people to set foot on the ships. Pffft~ n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was amazing to single handedly take down these Adonis folks who once caused them so much pain in the past. Don\'t forget that years back Adonis almost succeeded in ruling Zalipnia, if not for the timely intervention of Baymard. If before, someone would have told them that they would one day take down the terrifying Adonis force they once feared, they would have laughed so hard they choked on their saliva. But now, they not only took down Adonis, but also did so effortlessly thanks to the many laid out defense plans, formations and training they\'ve had over time. Thanks to Baymard, their thinking had improved, their scientific development had also sprouted, and the changes in their empire were as clear as day. After going to Baymard severally, they also made several scientific breakthroughs of their own. It wasn\'t just them, but everyone else in the UN. Don\'t forget that all UN empires now shared research with each other, advancing their empires together. Don\'t also forget that apart from the sections in Baymard\'s many libraries that allow people from IN empires to read in… Baymard also has a grand Library built just for UN empires. There, only Ministers, delegates or those granted permission from the ambassadors, monarchs or other people of importance, can go in and out of that particular library. They called it \'Library to the Skies\' because of how tall and majestic it was. It literally looked like a towering Library pavilion in a Wuxia novel. This library was built to contain all IN books, records and information for the next hundreds and thousands of years. . Pah! "On your knees!" Someone punched his belly. Tumi gritted his teeth in fury, feeling today was the most shameful day in his life. To think he, a Superior Adonis Kardinal would ever kneel before lowly black worms who call themselves Zalipnians! Dammit! Dammit all! Where is the traitor? Where is the traitor? "Where is he?" If it was before, the Zalipnians wouldn\'t be able to understand them. But after studying in Baymard, they were forced to learn Adonis\' language, so they understood all Tumi was saying. It\'s just that they didn\'t know what he was looking for. "Who? Who are you asking for?"

"The traitor, of course!" Looking at each other, they seemed to understand that it was because of how swift they won the battle, the enemy thought someone must have leaked their coming. Indeed, if it were them, they too would think their plans were leaked. The Commanding soldier leading those on the ship, slowly took down their mask, revealing their appearance, causing Tumi to puke out blood from disbelief and shock.

Sure, the body pose had long given off the truth, but Tumi didn\'t want to believe it.

"A woman? A mere woman was able to command troops to sneak attack by ships and take me down?... I DON\'T ACCEPT!"

Pah!

A fierce roundhouse kick landed on his jaw, forcing his burly body to roll back several feet on the deck\'s wooden floors.

He had to admit that this woman sure could throw a kick. Just look at his jaw that was already dislocated from her ruthlessness? Very slowly, the stunning lady crouched down and chuckled in amusement and pride. "Man, woman, dog, pig… what does it matter if if you end up in the bottom like you have now?"

…

By morning, Tumi and the surviving Adonis soldiers were locked up, awaiting transportation to Baymard where they will be kept in a secured facility like the Baymardian prisons. The city lord and many others were happy with the extra horses, ships, chariots, Ballistas and other items they gained from this brief war. Hahahahahaha~

The spoils of war this time were quite refreshing. Staring at these Adonis people, they didn\'t seem so terrifying anymore. "Quickly, look them up!... As for the rest of you, free the rowing slaves and take them to the city Lord\'s palace." One of the commanders ordered. Slavery is abolished in Zalipnia, so they will have to settle these people in, according to the new rules and policies in place. A portion of the money gathered from the soils of war will go to these rowers. They will also be granted a temporary housing place for at most 1 year until they get a job and move out. At this time when staying in the temporary home, they must also check in with a social worker once a month. After that, they\'ll have to report once in 6 months for the next 5 years. After 5 years, there will be no need to report anymore. They will officially become Zalipnians and not Temporary residents with Work Permits. Like so, Zalipnia\'s first solo war was a great success. They defended and won without any outside aid. But they weren\'t the only ones in a celebratory mood. (^_^)
