Chapter 729 - Die Witch!!!!
Most people were now gathered in the town square.
So Jamison and the rest arriving decided to begin.
And Naomi in the crowd looked at them eagerly.
"Everyone!
Even though you"re all aware of the new rules, policies and the various changes that have been going on... Today, we will formally announce the good news.
That"s right!
The news that you all have been hearing is true!
Menda Town, along with several other towns, cities and villages now belong to Baymard.
So we are officially Baymardians!"
"Wowwwww!!!"
"Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!"
Everyone was excited by the announcement.
Didn"t this mean that they would have as much privilege as those in Baymard"s new Capital city?
It"s said that being a citizen had more advantages than being a foreigner.
And even though they didn"t know the advantages well, it still made them happy.
Everyone clapped and celebrated merrily by the change.
They didn"t care who ruled them, provided they were well taken care of.
And just looking at the way Landon ruled Baymard, who wouldn"t be happy?
His tales had been spread across the entire continent.
So peasants, slaves and the poor took him as a fair and just messiah.
All people wanted was to live long with their families peacefully.
That"s why they wholeheartedly approved of him.
.
"Wawwwww!!!"
"Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!"
Jamison smiled and requested for them to settle down.
"Alright! Alright!
Now, you all are Baymardians.
That said, there"s still a lot of work that needs to be done in order to improve our town.
As you know, this town will be Baymard"s official Border town.
So there is so much to be done.
And in that note, I would also like to point out the fact that The n.o.ble O"Hare clan, The n.o.ble Quinn clan... (continues calling out all n.o.ble clans that went against Landon)... and the n.o.ble Mondai clan will no longer stay within the town.
All n.o.ble families called out are already on their way out.
So their estates and properties are currently state property and are now well graded by the soldiers too.
That said, all slaves within their care are now officially free.
And after this, you all can register your ident.i.ties and also sign up for any available jobs within the town.
Fringe today henceforth, you will be paid like regular Baymardian citizens!"
"Plop!"
"Woooooooooooo!
Thank you, town lord!
May the ancestor bless his majesty, Landon Barn."
The slaves who had previously been sent out of the estates today, cried merrily when they heard Jamison"s words.
.
One should know that even though the new rules and policies were made, their masters still refused to let them go.
They even threatened to kill them if they ever left.
So they felt their hope die within them.
After all, they knew how many knights these n.o.ble families had.
They thought that they would never escape these n.o.ble families.
But who would"ve known that their masters would be driven out and they would be freed without a scratch?
They secretly decided to hurriedly register as Baymardian citizens.
They weren"t stupid.
The moment they left Baymard, they might be taken into slavery again.
So who would be foolish enough to leave this Holy land?
No way!
They had to become official citizens fast.
Moreover, they would also get well paid bi-weekly for work too.
Which made them very motivated.
Jamison looked at the scene as sighed.
These people were too pitiful.
Luckily, their town was now rich!
Yes, all the sh** load of money and wealth in the treasuries within these n.o.ble estates was enough for them to live off for many years to come.
Of course, 70% of everything had to the Capital and placed in Baymard"s national treasury... while the rest will be used to develop the town, as well as pay everyone"s salaries steadily until the town properly made money for itself.
As for the copper mine closeby, it was now state property and not owned by Menda city.
So it had nothing to do with Jamison.
.
Everyone was very pleased with the good news.
Jamison had also posted a map of Baymard new territories, so that everyone could see what other places now belonged to their new empire.
Again, he spoke a bit about the job opportunities available, and where they could sign up.
And when he was about to dismiss everyone, Landon and his team had just arrived on the scene.
It was just a 10-minute drive to the pangera cave, so they didn"t take you long at all.
"Vrrrrrrrrrrmmmmm!"
"Skrrieee!"
How cool!
Everyone looked at the awesome manner in which these cars drove in and parked.
No matter how many times they saw it, these vehicles were just too cool!
Landon and his team stepped out of the vehicle with bags in their hands.
Of course, those that went into the cave had cleaned themselves up while in the military vehicles.
So they looked very das.h.i.+ng to the audience.
Many recognized Landon and screamed excitedly.
"Heavens!
It"s his majesty!
How can I breathe the same air as he does?
I think I"m going to faint!"
"Ahhhh!
He looked at me!
He looked at me!
What do I do?
I"m so unworthy."
"Papa!
When u grow up, I"ll become just like his majesty."
"Impossible!
You can only be a lesser version of him.
His majesty is just too great!"
"Your majesty, you"re my hero!
Ahhhhh!!"
"_"
As the crowd went wild, the soldiers who followed behind felt helpless.
Every time people recognized his majesty, it always turned out this way.
What could they say?
If they weren"t somewhat used to his majesty by now... they too would flip out as well.
They truly admired him too.
He was the goal of many soldiers, strength and att.i.tude-wise.
No one could beat his majesty in a battle.
And this was a fact!
.
The entire crowd went wild.
They had been going crazy while kneeling before his majesty as a sign of respect.
Normally, they were supposed to kneel and salute his majesty.
But their shock and excitement were just off the roof that they forgot about the saluting part.
And Landon did nothing to remind them at all.
He just waved at them and smiled too.
It was only after Jamison called for silence, did they remember that they were supposed to salute their king after kneeling.
He was a king after all.
Looking at Landon on the podium, many felt like they were blessed just to see his face.
They kowtowed and almost laid on the floor while greeting Landon.
"Your majesty!" They exclaimed as loud as they could.
This was a king that deserved their respect!.
Everyone got down, including Jamison and the rest.
"You may all rise!"
"Thank you, your majesty."
With that, everyone swiftly got up as fast as they could.
They were also eager to hear what his majesty had to say too.
"Citizens of Baymard, residents of Menda Town.
As official Baymardians, I, alongside these brave men... decided to put an end to your worries.
Be it food, shelter, cloth and even safety, it is my responsibility to ensure that they are properly taken care of.
That"s why these brave soldiers here accompanied me to Pangera cave."
"Hwwoo!"
--silence--
Everyone gasped loudly.
What?
They went to Pangera cave and came back alive?
No, surely they heard it wrong.
They probably said that they would be going to Pangera cave.
Yes, that must be it!
But if they wanted to go to Pangera cave, then wouldn"t they be killed?
Everyone looked at Landon anxiously.
Of course, some also looked at Naomi, as if saying that it was all her fault.
In their eyes, she wanted to kill his majesty Landon Barn.
Sure enough!
The witch still wanted more souls after offering her father"s own.
But why his majesty?
He was their hero for heaven"s sake!
Die, witch!!!
