912 You Again?
Landon smiled while staring at the door.
3...2...1...
Bam!
The massive doors were forced right open, and in came a stream of enemies with weapons in their hands.
Din Din Din Din Din.
Like an unending nightmare, they stormed in confidently while scaring the life out of some of the guests.
No one was stupid. Even a 5-year-old child could feel and see the situation clearly.
Landon yelled loudly: "Everyone, Get down!"
In a flash, many dropped to the floor and even tried to hide under the benches there.
"What's happening?
Who are those men?"
"Sweet Goddess of Fertility!
Who would want to harm our queen?"
"Shhh! Stop talking; the enemy might be angered."
The frightened guests dared not speak loudly for fear of drawing attention to themselves.
Because of how the people laid low, the entire scene looked like a typical hostage situation.
But in this situation where Landon, William and the rest were supposed to be scared, they just glanced at these intruders like air.
Landon, in particular, chuckled at their overly confident attitude.
Heh.
From the moment he knew their plan, he began taking action.
He knew that they would only attack once the wedding was over.
Why?
Because they wanted Penelope and everyone else to lower their vigilance and sense of security about anyone violently crashing their wedding.
.
Any regular person would be vigilant at the state of an event, as well as at the most crucial moments.
But once everything was done, people typically relaxed subconsciously.
So now was the perfect time to strike.
And, with everyone patented in the same place, how could they miss this opportunity?
They would be foolish to let it go.
That's why they planned to occupy the massive square before it all ended.
They didn't know exactly when the ceremony would end, so they made haste with their preparations.
They also sent a few of their men to attend the ceremony.
And once it was almost ending, their people then stroll out casually and tell them.
Anyway, that was their plan.
Another thing that made their plan even better was that the civilians in the square seemed to be leaving.
Why?
Because those news reporters made various announcements, sending everyone towards the Palace instead.
And since the estimated ceremony time wasn't announced, everyone felt like it was best for them to go towards the palace.
After all, who knew if they would be here for hours?
Since the royals were considerate to them, they decided to oblige.
The royals even sent some of the guards towards the palace as well.
And all this made the enemy smile all the more.
It seemed like the heavens were on their side.
But little did they know that the so-called civilians who stayed behind were actually soldiers, other Caronian guards, William's men, and everyone else men in disguise, who all wore ordinary clothes over their uniforms.
.
In the present, most civilians now wore modern Baymardian clothes.
In short, even if Baymard did not make the clothes, a majority of the clothing materials were still provided by Baymard.
Baymard sold yards of clothing fabrics, threads, needles, lace, and so in various colours.
So local sailors could make their own attires to be sold as well, here in Carona.
In fact, some people bought only the materials and gave them to the tailors here, who would, in turn, take their measurements and sew clothes.
And of course, some housewives hand sewed clothes instead.
All this yielded better quality attires for all seasons. So no one was wearing those sac-like clothes anymore.
It was so out of style for them now.
Considering all this, the soldiers and the rest wore massive T-shirts, oversized airy trench coats, sunglasses and so on to disguise themselves properly.
They stayed behind and pretended to be anxious civilians while taking note of the enemy that continuously swarmed the place.
The entire Sanpodia territory could be perfectly portrayed as having the outline of a key.
The narrow part of the key was the very long Holy street, and the rounded upper part was a massive empty square.
And at the end of the square was a massive dome-shaped building.
Again, the rounded part of the key was separated from the narrow part by a very long, sturdy and massive gate.
And so once the enemy came in, they immediately sealed the gates before storming into the Dome.
Of course, the Sanpodia had its own security team, which remained on the walls surrounding the Sanpodia.
In a flash, the battle outside began, but the enemy seemed not to worry about this matter because the enemy knew that they had more men than all the guards trapped here.
So what was there to fear?
Provided they got rid of their targets and quickly announced Prince Skye's identity, no one would dare go against a person from a superior continent.
People would have to unwilling have to bow their heads and let go, even if they didn't want it.
Such was war.
The victor gets the spoils, and in this era, these people, more than anyone else, understood this.
And so, 150,000 thousand temple sentries/guards came in, alongside 20,000 of Prince Skye's team.
A majority stayed in the square; all of Skye's men and a few from the temple stormed the dome.
Yup!
They felt pretty unbeatable right now.
.
Meanwhile, within the dome, Penelope sneered and instantly removed the detachable lower part of her gown.
That's right.
She tore the overly puffy bottom, fully revealing her tight-fitted white pants and white sword sheath.
She also took out her daggers and placed them on the same belt that held her sword.
Rule number one, always be prepared.
She squinted her eyes at one of the intruders and felt annoyed.
"You again? Didn't I tell you not to show your face in front of me? Or have you forgotten the last beatings that I gave you?"
Skye's smile cracked a bit before he finally calmed himself down again.
Heh.
He was the protagonist today. So why should he be worried?
The humiliation she gave him would be paid 10 times over after today.
He looked at the dazzling woman before him and chuckled: "Now, now... We are all friends. So why would you think that I would miss your wedding? My dear Penelope, I'm simply here to wish you well."
What?
Does she know the enemy?
And why does it seem like they are close?
Well, rather than close, it appears that she gave him a beating some time ago?
The guests lying low dared not look up but perked up their ears to get the full gossip.
Some even came up with overly ridiculous scenes in their minds.
What sort of drama had they entered?
The voice of the enemy sounded very young.
So was he beaten blue and black because of his arrogant nature?
Or was it something else?
Why did his tone feel like he was a little annoyed when mentioning her wedding?
And more importantly, did they make a mistake by not bringing popcorn for the show?
