Chapter 1858 Finally Here!
"Fallback! Fallback! Fallback!"
The orders were made and those still alive scattered away like flies. The capable also carried the injured and alive away, while those who were heavily injured with no hope for survival, chose to then end their lives by biting the tiny poison rolled up underneath their tongues.
You think they wanted to die today? Of course not!
But after feeling Death already close by, they knew they only had but a few more minutes to live. So why suffer in pain for these minutes when they can just end it all now?
Dead.
They all chose to die, while those who could flee still left the scene. How many came in, and how many were running away now?
The leader sighed heavily after seeing no more than 20 people fleeing by his side. They came in hundreds but left in such a pitiful state.
If someone told him just 1 man was able to do all this, he would definitely slap the messenger to death. But after experiencing it all first hand, he found himself speechless in the face of true power.
Sure enough, the power of that secret Battle Manual was something they in Morgany must acquire, be it by hook or by crook.
You have to know that after sneaking their way into the port, they only kept at most 10 people on the lookout, while hundreds and hundred of them stormed that same warehouse to make sure they got the job done to perfection. Yes, it seemed like overkill, but the TOEP Member who wished for Sirius"s demise, wished that they also tortured Sirius mentally before finally taking his life. And indeed, before that hidden guard arrived, Sirius"s face was stretched out in dread, especially after seeing hundreds and hundred of black shadows swarm in from all directions. What to do? Where to go?
Those moments to Sirius seemed like an apocalyptic one. He wanted to Live another day, but couldn"t think of how he was going to achieve that after seeing the tremendous killing intent coming his way.
Yes, he, Sirius, knew he miscalculated when seeing that they didn"t want to take him in as a hostage, but wanted to kill him right then and there.
Make no mistake, that was a scary moment that could leave anyone"s toes curling in their boots.
.
"Fallback!"
Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+~
The shadows moved as fast as they could.
Hundreds came in, but only 21 were leaving.
Landon secretly exchanged a few points from the system to place these invincible tracking marks on the fleeing men.
Well, you could say that he marked their souls, so even if they took a million baths or disguised themselves into something else, he will always know it was them.
"Hahahahahahahaha~"
Sirius laughed faintly. "I take it your master sent you to me?" Landon nodded, not saying a word.
Sirius grinned broadly, allowing Landon to lift him up. "Where are we off to?"
Landon again didn"t reply, carrying him on his back and rus.h.i.+ng out of the ma.s.sive warehouse as if he was a member of Naruto"s hidden Leaf village.
He indeed ran like a ninja, extremely nimble, fast and flexible too.
"Your Majesty!!!"
Backup was already here.
Even the civilians, especially the Overseer, also returned, truly worried for Sirius"s life. Seeing their arrivals from afar, Landon carefully placed Sirius down before das.h.i.+ng away in the opposite direction and vanis.h.i.+ng into the night.
Sirius looked at the disappearing figure with throbbing emotions in his eyes. Not just for the hidden man who often rescues him, but for his good buddy and sworn brother Landon.
Sirius"s trust in Landon went up an even higher scale, surviving his previous 100% trust meter.
His trust was already at 100%, so imagine going beyond that?
If Landon said jump, he would definitely jump no questions asked. Only this brother of his truly looked out for him, never asking for anything in return.
Or so Sirius thought… But what he didn"t know was that his dear sworn brother needs him to stay alive, so that he, Landon, won"t also get blown up into smithereens by the system.
So yes… what he was getting from saving Sirius, was also keeping his own life in tact.
Who asked Sirius to be one of the sons and daughters of HEAVEN?
(~_~)
Landon rolled his eyes and stayed away in a corner, watching the many guards take Sirius away. Of course, he also checked the tracking of those TOEP men.
Seeing that they were already very far away from the scene, Landon knew they wouldn"t be attacking Sirius anytime soon.
With that, he vanished from Yodan, appearing in the Dome of the Fierce once more.
"Your Majesty… you"re awake." Someone commented, when seeing him walk towards the camp. What could he say other than that he went out to take a leak?
.
Time trickled down like water before anyone knew it.
A few days have gone by and the brave soldiers not only successfully rescued the children, but also exterminated the nest of giant killer birds that have plagued them for a while now. Although cruel, it must be done because there will be a day when they will be too late to rescue the captured children from the bellies of these birds. In the past, especially over the hundreds and hundreds of years, there have also been many unfortunate cases when the rescuers took up their torches, stormed into the woods but arrived too late.
They mourned their children and were very regretful that they weren"t there to save the kids. That"s why over the years, when the nesting place of these birds gets discovered, the nest is destroyed at once.
Of course, the many reporters were quick to report on the matter, interviewing the parents who were now crying and hugging each other with joy.
Their children were rescued on time!
Their sons were back! Their daughters were back!
For a while, the entire Baymard as well as Arcadina"s surrounding areas were filled with joy and laughter when seeing how reliable the soldiers were to come to the aid of these children. This only made the prestige of both empires grow even more. 07:53
And as the days went by, these people soon forgot about the matter. However, Baymard was always a hub for news, with old news getting buried away by the new.
One such news was one that blew several people"s shoes off their legs.
A young merchant glanced through today"s papers in a his room and soon saw a boldly written article that immediately caught his eye.
His eyes widened and his jaws dropped in quivering gasps reading the short brief article again and again.
Boom!
The man stood up in a flash and rushed to his hotel phone like crazy. "h.e.l.lo, Khiger, you old fool… check the papers! On April 15th, the Airline tickets will be available for purchase! Old man, that"s next week!"
