1657 the Culprit Is Here!



 Pair of sleek boots lightly stepped on Everett's body, looking as though it exerted little to no pressure. Yet, Everett felt his lungs were about to break. 

Looking at the group around him, he recognized 3 of them but was still in disbelief. 

"3rd prince of Soma... Exiled Prince of Arcadina... Dismissed Commander of the Galligan Legion? How can you three be here?"

Everett was confused and began doubting his memory. 

According to the news, the 3rd Prince shouldn't be able to come back this fast after he left. 

Heh. 

After searching for all Soma-eligible princes for the throne, of course, he got wind too late that Soma had already left in search of allies.

Still, the boy should've been here so soon, especially with Allies for that matter. 

As for Landon and Lucius, they knew his information because Adonis, just like Morgany, did their best to keep up with the world's news. 

It's true that Morgany made it hard for information to circulate without their approval, but thanks to the few double agents they had in Morgany, they could get out some useful information now and then. 

The reason Everette was shocked was because he assumed Baymard was Adonis's own by now.

Close to 2 years ago when he was dispatched for this mission, others were also dispatched dot Baymard, Terique, and Carona in Pyno... with some getting dispatched several months before he left. 

So with their Adonis strength, he didn't think small fires like those in Pyno would stand a chance. 

Of course, he expected Morgany would be pissed once they knew. But even if Morgany chooses to step in, preparing for such a battle doesn't happen overnight.

What's more, just gathering the troops at a rendezvous place might take them 3~5 months to March. Talk less of boarding ships and sailing for months and months to get to Pyno.

Hey... it might be close to a year or even more before Morgany makes a big move.

By that time they would also have their reinforcements in place. So what was there to worry about? 

But the question was whether they were ready to send such a high number of warriors to aid Pyno and fight them off. 

Since sailing 2 years prior and arriving in Omania this year, Everett hasn't followed up with the times, only focusing his attention on Omania and its possible allies.

So imagine the shock of seeing Landon here. He was sure Landon was the one in the portrait shown as one of the members of Arcadina's royal family. 

Though exiled he was still a royal they had to take note of.

The information he also had about Baymard was very old, 2 and a half years old.

He heard there were some strong improvements there, but many didn't think there was anything dangerous about the place since they only used that strange weapon that hits one with small discharges of thunder. 

It's said a Baymardian wielding it must get very close to an enemy before it can work. So wasn't it best to just eliminate such useless Baymardians with arrows from their archers?

According to the news, the Baymardians focused their energy on creating entertainment items and other amazing works that were not beneficial military-wise. 

This was why Everett didn't think anything of it. He thought by now, Baymard would belong to Adonis. So who can tell him why Landon and Lucius were standing here unharmed? And what was up with the crazy weapons behind them?

"You!... You're not supposed to be here! You're puny Pyno should've fallen by now!"

Fallen? This time, it was the Baymardian who were shocked but soo understood after recalling the many Adonis attacks launched.

Their attacks occurred every season, mainly of various backup fleets thinking they were coming to assist their comrades who had already made Adonis proud in Pyno. 

Pfft.~

Many Baymardians laughed childishly. 

"Hey, did you hear that?" Landon teased. "He says we are not supposed to be here."

Suddenly, the air grew cold. 

"GRAhhhhhhhhh!" Everett gritted his teeth feeling the heavy pressure Landon added on Jo's chest.

"Damn you, pagans! Do you know who you are messing with?" Everett's eyes flashed to a corner, watching one of the Thamans secretly lift his staff viciously. 

HMPH! 

Don't blame him for being cruel. With the Thamans move, he can turn the minds of several people crazed!

The power of Adonis will soon teach them a lesson!

"Wolololo~... Wolololo~... Wololo--"

Bam!

Landon's secretary smacked the back of the Thaman's head so hard that he left a face print on the tree he hid behind.

Landon chuckled, seeing Everett's pale face. "Now, what are you going to do?"

What other tricks do you have? He wanted to see if the so-called Adonis would really appear to save them. 

"Ypu... you... you bastards! Bahahhahahahhahaha~... Now you've done it! Anyone who touches a Thaman will face the wrath of Adonis!"

Everett seemed crazed, spewing all sorts of ridiculous things that would happen to an enemy that makes a Thaman bleed. 

Bahahahahhahahaha~

"Now, you've done it! Soon, Adonis will rain balls of fire and unleash fleets of locusts to plague Your lands!" 

Now, you're putting any future locust plagues on Adonis' head? Locust plagues have always occurred in history. Even in Pyno, there are locusts plagues every once in a decade. So how does this stem from Adonis? 

Landon rolled his eyes, snapping his fingers for Everett to be pulled out from underneath the tent.

Of course, the others trapped alongside him had long been pulled out.

"Hold on," Artemis spoke, as he slowly appreciated Everett.

Paaw!

Everett felt the heavy blow disrupt his system, but Artemis didn't stop then. 

Thanks to Landon almost breaking his lungs earlier, as well as the injuries he sustained from the blast, Everett was weaker than he usually was. 

"Let him go," Landon ordered, understanding Artermis' goal. 

They, Giants, were a vengeful lot. Seeing the commander who was responsible for leading Adonis to victory in his own land, how can he not be furious?
