495 A Dead Fool
Looking at the man in Black, the enemy didn't know if this assassin was with King Sirius or not.
If he was really one of Sirius' men, then why did he not show himself all this while?
They had been battling and chasing Sirius for 3 and a half months.
So why didn't he show up within that time frame?
Why wait now?
Also... they didn't want to anger any secret organizations in Arcadina too.
If this man was a high-level assassin, he might also have his men hiding around the place too.
Hence they had to confirm his motive before they took action.
If he was a passerby, then by means.... they would let him pass.
Even Sirius and Astar wanted to know why this man had stood on their side too.
They had never planned or arranged for any help here in Arcadina.
So why would he help them right now?
What was his motive?
One of the enemies stepped forward and looked at the man
"Kind sir..... we are in the midst of a battle right now.
And since sir is just a passerby, then we will naturally let sir pass." The man said while giving a slight bow to the man in black.
"Oh?
But what if I say that I'm not a passerby?"
"Sir... are you saying that you want to protect them?" The enemy warrior asked angrily.
"Exactly!"
"Mind me asking sir... but did we in any way offend you so much that you would want to side with them?"
"Nope!"
"Do you owe them a favour?"
"Nope!"
"Do you even know them?"
"Nope!"
"Then why do you want to help them?"
"Hm..... if I tell you that it's because I'm bored... would you believe it?"
"_"
.
Bored?
Everyone looked at the man in black and was completely taken aback.
What the F***?
No one went about fighting battles that had nothing to do with them just like that.
Yup!
This man was definitely a troublemaker.
"But sir... why not join our side?"
"Wouldn't that be too unfair?
You have three times more men than they do.
So if I join you all, wouldn't I become more bored instead?" The man in black said lazily.
The enemy warrior who spoke out earlier bit his lips in anger and tried to calm himself down a bit.
If he could, wouldn't he have already beaten this bastard to a pulp ages ago?
He quickly decided on his next line of action, as he didn't want to die because of someone's 'boredom'.
Because if he did, he was sure that he would definitely not rest in peace.
After all, he already knew that Sirius and his gang were already in Arcadina.
So if he went back and reported the news back to his Mistress, then wouldn't that be enough?
Also... he could wait for this masked man to leave before taking action again.
He didn't believe that Mr. Bored here would follow Sirius throughout the rest of his journey.
With that in mind, he decided to give in for now.
But just when he was about to compromise, the man in black spoke out again.
"Well, you could say that I'm indeed a passerby.
My friends are 3 cities away from here, and I'm travelling there by myself.
On his long and boring trip, how can I not want to flex out my muscles a bit?
So how about it.... would you all let me join the fight now?" Landon said pitifully.
.
Sirius and Astar looked at the man in black and almost facepalmed themselves.
Why would he give out such vital information like that?
As for the enemy warrior, his smile became as broad as day.
"Wait Sir.... did you just say that you're travelling alone?"
"Yup!"
After confirming that the bastard in black was indeed travelling alone, the enemy warrior's smile turned colder.
So what if the man was a high-level assassin in an organization?
At the end of the day, he had over 80 men with him.... and Sirius and his team were just 24.
So even if the man in black joined them, wouldn't he still be outnumbered?
If he sent 20 people to deal with the man in black, he didn't believe that they wouldn't win.
Hehehehe!
Well, since he said that he was bored.... then wants it only good to satisfy the bastard's boredom?
Sirius saw through the enemy warrior's thoughts and wanted to protest.
But before he could say anything, the enemy warrior quickly agreed with the man in black.
"Alright!
I agree with you.
You can join the battle since you're bored."
"Great!
You won't regret it!"
"_"
.
Right now, everyone had the same thought when they looked ag the man in black.
Yup!
He definitely had something loose in his brain.
As for the man in bkack A.KA Landon Barn, he just smiled sheepishly and scratched his head shyly.
Landon soon turned to Sirius and the rest with a broad smile on his face.
"Brothers... it's not that I'm looking down on you all.
But since most of you are injured, then I suggest that you sit down by the sides."
"But..." Astar said in protest.
"Trust me, if you join me.... you'd only be getting in my way."
Everyone was taken aback by Landon's words once again.
The enemy warriors laughed out loud with some of them even crying on the ground.
"Hahahhahahahha!
You really think that you can take us all?"
"Do you know our individual ranks?"
"Even if you're a high-ranked assassin, our combined ranks alone is something that you can't face alone."
"Let the fool be!
Since he wants to die, then we will naturally grant his request."
Landon just looked at them calmly, and lazily dropped his sword on the ground.
"Not only will I take you all out, but I'll also not use my sword too.
So I suggest that you all come at me all at once."
"_"
'Bahhahahhahhahaha!'
"He is truly a fool!"
"Well since he wants to die so much, then we'll just grant his request.
As far as I'm concerned, he's as good as dead!"
'Hahahhahahahha!'
