I'm the King Of Technology

Chapter 723 - Impending Danger

'Plup!'

Those who heard Landon's commands knew that it was over.

No!

What had they gotten themselves into?

Before, they had a chance to sell their properties to Landon and still live lavishly when they entered their clans back in Arcadina's Capital.

But now, they've lost this opportunity.

Which made them feel like crying.

One should know that even though they lived big here, back in the Capital, they were nothing.

In their clans, their voices as branch members were never heard and no one considered their feelings at all.

So if they left with large amounts of money, they would be able to pocket a great amount of it, while giving their clans a portion of the money for the property that Landon bought.

At least, they would've been able to embezzle a substantial amount and secretly build their forces.

But now, not only would Landon not be buying these properties from them, he would also take all the wealth in their treasuries.

F***!

Did anyone know how much those were?

These nobles and merchants here had large chunks of copper ores in their treasuries, as well as several piles of coins, jewelry, and precious gems too.

Sure, the amount of wealth that they had gathered over the years wasn't anywhere near that of those within the cities or those from the super-wealthy.

But as a branch family, what they had collected was just too much.

And that was because they had been selling copper from the mines and secretly embezzling some of the profits before it got sent to the main clan in the Capital.

So their wealth was something that would shock other branch families.

That was probably why they as branch members could afford to have as many knights as they did.

But now, they had to leave all that wealth that they had acc.u.mulated behind for Landon to reap its benefits.

Everyone's eyes turned red when they thought about it.

Who gave them the guts to go against Landon?

.

When Landon released his murderous aura, no one dared to look him in the eye while he spoke... not even Fabian.

Fear crept into their hearts as they thought that Landon would really kill them off.

Some even started praying for them to be dragged out peacefully.

And just like that, their ancestors had answered their prayers.

Because the moment Landon said that they would be dragged away and sent out of Menda town alive, many quickly kowtowed and thanked their ancestors gratefully.

Who said that prayers didn't work?

Look!

Weren't they saved from this monster?

At this point, they truly wanted to slap their former selves.

What gave them the guts to go against him?

They thought that he was weak.

But only now did they know that he might've been holding back all this while.

As expected, a Dragon like his majesty Alec could only produce another dragon.

F***!

They would never go against him again.

And as they were dragged out, they still thanked Landon nonstop.

"Thank you, oh wise one for your grace."

"Thank you, oh most majestic one for sparing this lowly one's life."

"Thank you!

"Thank you!

"Thank you!"

"^"

.

Landon looked at the nobles who were currently dragged out and felt like he might've damaged their brain circuits.

The entire thing was just too funny.

They didn't even struggle as the soldiers dragged out in different positions.

It looked like they had finally accepted their fates.

As for Fabian, since he was the one who led the entire thing, then he as their leader had to get them jailed.

At least in this way, the prison will have another new inmate.

And from what Landon knew of, Fabian wouldn't be the last inmate from these new territories.

Yup!

There were other nobles who were retaliating within the other towns and cities around.

So everyone leading all resistant groups would join Fabian later on.

As to why he couldn't kill every one of them, if he did, that would be over 200 or more within all these newly acquired territories.

Their families and children might want revenge and make a mountain out of nothing.

And this would undoubtedly anger their head clans back in the Capital.

Landon wasn't afraid of their revenge.

But this will give William a lot of issues if all noble clans want him to defend them as his people.

One should know that Arcadina and Baymard already had a treaty with one another.

So he couldn't just kill people just like that.

There were too many diplomatic things at stake here.

That's why he chose to only imprison the leaders and drive the rest along with their massive armies out of these new territories.

Just Menda Town alone had about 24,000 knights combined from all these nobles, then what more of the other towns and cities?

Luckily, just the sheer number of slaves that these nobles had bought was far much more than their army alone.

So without a doubt, recruiting these slaves into the army or police academy was a must.

And while that went on, more soldiers had to be deployed to protect these new territories too.

.

As for these nobles, now that they had seen the seal and heard Landon's words, they knew that they had to take their men and leave immediately.

They had to go to the Capital and report their return to their new king as stated in the doc.u.ment.

Again, Landon seemed to be on good terms with their new king.

So they might by stabbing themselves in the leg if they retaliated.

Plus now, they felt like Landon might truly have enough forces to take them down.

That said, they weren't stupid enough to try anything funny.

And now that this had been taken care of, Landon's murderous aura died down and he calmly looked at Jamison with a broad smile on his face.

Jamison who saw this felt like Landon was too good at pretending to be a sheep when he was actually a wolf.

Luckily, he was smart and chose the right team.

Or else wouldn't he have turned out like the rest?

Only he and 2 others stuck by Landon all this time.

So now, there were only 3 noble families left in the entire town.

Baron Jamison silently thanked his ancestors for giving him a good vision.

No matter what, he would never betray this sleeping monster.

Landon looked at Jamison and smiled.

"Jamison, are you and the men ready?"

"Yes, your majesty.

Everyone had already gathered 2 hours ago in wait.

But... your majesty, are you sure that it can be done?

I mean no disrespect... but this problem has been killing my ancestors and the people for many years now.

It is very deadly, and no one has been able to figure it out."

"You're right, Jamison.

It's dangerous and deadly.

But I have a way.

Now let's go!"
