Chapter 567 And So It Begins!
--A Secret hidden base, The Empire Of Arcadina--
.
The Night sky was inky black, with not so much as a star in sight.
And within the blanket of darkness, one could hear the sounds of several night creatures singing loudly all through the night.
’Who!!! Who!!!’
’Creeeeekkkk!’
’Wooooo!!!!!!!!’
The night owls, snowy wolves and other creatures of the night sang their daily choruses heartily.
And not too far away from the forest region where these animals sang, several masked men could be seen stealthily making their way through the forest.
These men were all dressed in black and had shields hanging on their backs and swords on their waists too.
Of course, some of them also had their bows and arrows on their backs instead.
’Weeeewwwwww!’
An uneasy, brisk and chilling wind blew across the faces of these masked men, making them feel both anxious and eager for tonight’s dance.
Underneath their masks, they couldn’t help but smile a little.
Tonight was going to be their night!!
"Your highness, from what I can remember... the enemy’s hidden guards should be hiding a little distance from here." Said one of the masked men.
"Good!
Tell the men to spread out just as planned."
"Yes, your highness Eli."
With that, the massive unit of men quickly broke out into even smaller groups..... and hastily scattered around the forest in a flash, leaving only 2 small groups behind.
Eli looked at the path before him and smiled.
He felt his mind fall into ecstasy, as he imagined today’s outcome in his mind over and over again.
Aiiihhhh!
The feeling he had right now was so strong that he almost felt like he could physically smell his victory fast approaching.
Hahahhahahahha!
Soon, he would have his cousin’s head in a platter of gold.
Of course, such an enemy was worthy of being placed on a gold platter.
He had been tailing this cousin of his for years now, and finally... catching up to the bastard indeed gave him the most satisfying feeling ever.
Because no matter how he looked at it, no one could save this cousin of his tonight
Yes. ... That’s right!
Today, his cousin... A.K.A The Ghostly Prince, will finally die!!
.
Of course, Eli wasn’t the only one who was thinking in that same manner too.
On the other side of the secret base, several other masked men in black were also making their way into the forest too.
"Your highness, this is the route that I used to escape after confirming everything about your cousin." Said a tall broad-shouldered masked man.
"Hmmmmmm... so this is the entrance to their main base?"
"Yes, your highness!"
"Wonderful!
Let’s but keep uncle, aunty and my dear cousin waiting any longer shall we?"
"As you wish, your highest Connor."
With that, their men also scattered into groups and quickly made their move.
And just like that, 2 different enemies had proceeded into the base fearlessly from different ends.
One should know that this was a base, so there had to be a few hidden or open paths that would allow the residents of the vase to flee from enemy attacks if there were too many enemies.
Surprisingly, there were just 2 ways to enter the base at ground level.
And of course apart from these 2 entrances, there was also another tunnel-like entrance in one of the buildings in the base, that led to a cave far away in the heart of the forest.... were many people dared not venture, lest some wild animals walked into the tunnel and attacked them.
For sure, this entrance was always sealed with a large metal jail gate.... and was only opened during emergencies.
Anyway, both Connor and Eli had used both ground-level entrances when attacking... because these were the entrances that their spies had used when last they came over.
.
Connor stayed back with another squad while watching the other teams advanced in different directions.
For him, today’s matter would undoubtedly finish in a flash with the end result being his victory.
Ever since his mother had gifted him with a top grade assassin and strategist, everything seemed to be going on well for him.
Heck!
He even suspected that the reason why Eli had always been able to pull a fast one on him, was because the villain probably he such a person by his side too.
In short, ever since he had gotten extra help, he found that his scheming abilities had gone up a notch as well.
He now had a better idea of what Eli was up to, and even found out about Slytherin Cord and the Ghostly Prince’s matters.
He felt his chest swell up with pride when he thought of how he was now yielding the fruits of his labour.
Today, he was here to kill this cousin of his and take over his men.
It was just that simple!
After all, it was a rule when battling.... that the victor would claim everything that the loser had as his.
This was the natural way of war.
So with his cousin’s skilled men... he would now have a better chance of taking over Baymard.
In his mind, he was sure that Alec would win the battle against Baymard... making everything a lot easier for him.
Because when Alec finally died, Eli would rule over Arcadina... while he on the other hand, would rule over Baymard instead.
Of course for this to happen, he needed to convince Alec to wield or give Baymard to him just before the old fart died.
One could say that Connor wanted Alec needed to write a will before his death.
And that was why, even though he would kill this cousin of his... he still wouldn’t kill this uncle and aunt of his.
No!
At least not yet.
.
To gain Alec’s trust, as well as to get the ’promise of his majesty’... Connor planned to take his uncle, Oden Barn and his aunty to Alec.
Undoubtedly, Alec would be so shocked and very thankful that he had captured them.
In this way, Alec would also tell him to say whatever he wanted as a gift of gratitude.
And that was when he would state his wish of becoming ruler of Baymard.
Yes!
With Eli as crown Prince of Arcadina, it would only make sense for him to be Baymard’s crown prince.
Connor smirked while looking at the part before him.
Hahahhahahahha!’
Soon, he would be King!
