Chapter 1245 - Who Was Their Target?
A guard came in, and everyone couldn't help sitting up straight.
-Silence-
Everyone's body went tight in tension while listening to the guard speak.
And Landon, who didn't feel like hiding anything from his brothers, had already given the go-ahead to the guard to say everyone openly.
Bottom line, they had intruders in the empire.
And this was nothing to laugh about, especially on such an occasion!
Sirius glanced at Landon thoughtfully: "Brother, just say the word, and you know we'll step in to ȧssist if need be."
Everyone else nodded as if saying: we've got your back.
And for this, Landon felt very touched in his heart.
"No. That won't be necessary. I think they should be able to handle things."
"Hmmmm..." William bobbed his head while massaging his chin thoughtfully.
Yes. They should be able to handle things. But then again, they still had to take precautions themselves.
Henry was very troubled with the news: "Brothers... Even though their goal might be to head for the prisons, they might still have other secondary goals as well, like killing anyone of us or even kidnapping someone else on the scene."
"Agreed. They might have many objectives, but for now, let's look at what seems like their primary one." William said calmly.
At present, they were all people of power in their various empires.
And over the years, the number of dangerous criminals, from either Pyno or out of Pyno, had all been locked up by them.
Whether it was wanted-lone serial killers, random ȧssassins, the pirates, members of the T.O.E.P, their step-siblings, vicious step-mothers, the witch survivors, foreign enemies, or members of the Temple of Dragmus and the Temple of Adonis, they had gathered them all in here.
So the way they looked at it now, the intruders might be out to rescue anyone of these groups of people.
And this meant that the enemy might indirectly be their enemy as well.
So maybe when they headed back to their prospective empires, they would have hidden enemies waiting to attack at any strategic points.
.
Take Carona for example.
They didn't even know that Prince Skye had been locked up.
Because to them, even if Penelope treated him 'badly,' she wouldn't dare go that far.
They believed that this was the reason why she only chased him out of her palace when last she sneak-attacked him and sparred with him.
Yes!
Prince Skye had indeed written about the event, meaning that wherever he was, he wasn't under any confinement of some sort.
Additionally, they also believed that the backup that came last time to ȧssist him in taking over Carona should've been able to make a few key changes here and there.
In short, they believed that no matter the outcome, the worst thing Penelope and her people could do was send Skye back to Veinitta.
One. He was someone from a superior place.
Two. He was a Freaking ROYAL of such a place.
So they wouldn't be foolish enough to make any false moves because if he does, even by accident in Carona, they best believe that revenge would be near and even more dealer than it should be!
So thinking of all the endless possibilities, they knew he was still alive in Carona.
Thus, the fleet of ships that arrived from Veinitta had come with several troops and several Generals, all making their way to the Capital on 'official' business.
That's right.
Those who came didn't attack when they landed.
No! They came as Royal messengers, with a written list of demands from King Alexander of Dafaren.
So there wasn't any bloodshed in the coastal regions.
.
Like so, the group of people had marched to the Capital with a Royal Envoy, stating that if Carona didn't come with what was written there, then it would mean WAR!
The envoy came with a group of 18,000 men!
They weren't coming to fight but only came to instill fear instead.
Because if their objective was war, then they would have to round up 200,000 warriors or more for just the first wave of attacks.
That's right. If it were a war, they would keep sending a massive number of warriors to Carona almost every month.
The warriors would dock at different coastal points, causing chaos throughout the entire empire.
But for sending the Royal envoy, they had also sent the envoy alongside 18,000 men to give a point and show off their majesty as well.
The equipment their people came with, the superior stallions, the display of 'wealth' and other key points alone would make anyone think twice.
You know, some people didn't even have up to 18,000 warriors in their overall power play.
And if the previous Alec Barn were still alive, he would've sent 12,000 people at max to display his power when sending off royal Envoys.
One should know that the number of envoys he sent was legendary for the Pyno people.
Royals here typically sent 6~8000 people when sending forth their envoys.
So the majority of the time, the people that got sent with envoys died.
And after analyzing things like this, who would want to send a large force of men and lose them after all the training and resources financed to build each warrior to their present state?
To put it simply, those walking with the envoys were typically as good as dead in the eyes of many.
.
Of course, there are times when nothing happens to the group of news bearers.
But you think that if they were bringing this same news to Alec Barn, they would survive?
Heh. It depended on the Monarch's unpredictableness.
One would think that some monarchs would follow common sense and shake in fear at them, but there were always stubborn ones amongst the rest.
And in Pyno, Alec Barn was indeed the ONLY stubborn one.
So with his death, many felt that Pyno's power had shaken and dwindled yet again.
Of course, the envoy job was a double-edged sword.
And all this showed Dafaren's Might!
