Chapter 887: 719. Final Decision

"So your majesty, what's it going to be?

You pick!" Viscount Fabian coldly.

For him, nobles and merchants were the backbones of all towns and cities.

If they took all their forces away, then how would the economy grow?

The restaurants, stores and whatnot were all owned by them

So if they closed down these places, then wouldn't all these people need to travel towards Baymard for 2 and a half weeks just to get their daily, weekly or monthly supplies?

Undoubtedly, this will definitely make these peasants even more dissatisfied with Landon if they left.

With no stores or businesses around, their lives will turn gloomy.

Both Peasants and slaves were simple-minded people that could be swayed in whatever direction they wanted them to.

If these people faced real starvation or faced any sort of crisis, they would yearn for the days when these nobles were here, even if it meant that they needed to be abused by them.

Additionally, if they ever left, who was going to protect this town?

Yes, there was a town lord here, but the idiot had very few forces under him and was just their puppet.

They were the real ones running the town.

Their men were more trained and skilled than those from the town lord.

And so far, the number of Baymardian warriors (soldiers) that they had seen in and out of the town were too little in number to fight any major attacks like hundreds of bandits or gang members that planned on invading the town.

With those petty numbers, how could these Baymardians ever dream of protecting this town?

What was worse was that these warriors didn't even carry swords at all.

The whole thing, coupled with the fact that Landon didn't even battle them for the town, made them truly believe that his forces were weak.

.

Again, their biggest leverage was Alec.

Once their king knew what this unfilial son of his was up to, he would definitely want to strangle the bastard to death.

And just the mere mention of Alec should scare Landon silly.

So they were sure that the little imp would choose to compromise on this one.

But how could they have known that Alec had been destroyed ages ago?

When Alec came down here earlier on, he had travelled discreetly through the forest.

And even at that, no one knew that he had already battled with Landon.

In short, it was as if he never came at all.

They were just low-class nobles compared to the high ranking nobles that Alec usually communicated with.

So why would their king pay attention to them or relay his plans with them who were branch members in this town?

They knew absolutely nothing of Alec's capture or death.

He had just been executed not long ago, so the news hadn't even left Arcadina's central region yet... talk less about it travelling down the western regions.

Soon, they would find out that their well-prepared plan was a joke in Landon's eyes.

Did the fact that he sent small batches of people down here bi-weekly make them think that there weren't enough people to protect, or even assist in doing business here in Menda town?

Heh!

What a bunch of greedy fools!"

Landon looked at them, placed his hand on his chin and frowned as if he were deep in thought.

Just seeing his expression, everyone knew that he was hooked.

Now, he only had one option.

And that was to follow their command if he didn't want Alec to know of his land robbing escapade.

Maybe they could even ask Landon for huge sums of 'hush' money too.

Ahh... long live his majesty, Alec Barn.

.

Landon who was still deep in thought suddenly smiled broadly at them.

"You're right!

You all are big and powerful nobles here in Menda Town

The stores, businesses, safety and other aspects of Menda city are all owned by you and can never be overlooked.

So what other choice do I have?

Seniors, I've decided." Landon said calmly, and everyone's eyes lit up merrily.

"Hahhahahhaha.....

That's right your majesty.

We are just doing this for your protection."

"Hmhm... Baron Kloga speaks the truth.

We just want to help you hide your deeds from his majesty Alec Barn.

So this is really for your sake your majesty."

"I understand seniors.

Since you all don't like the rules, then you won't have to follow them."

"His majesty is wise!"

"Many thanks, your majesty."

"Alright... there's no need to thank me.

You see, I don't like to owe any favours.

So since you all did this from the kindness of your hearts and don't want my father to know... then how can I sleep well at night?

Your kindness has truly touched my soul.

That's why I've divided that you won't have to follow these rules.

Yes!

Since every one of you will leave this town, then the rules won't apply to you, no?

'Hahhaha... yes.. your majesty... Ye...

What????"

Once again, everyone truly couldn't believe their ears.

Dammit!

Blame them for not learning their lesson from earlier on.

son of a b**ch!

.

"Your majesty, do you know what you are saying?

Do you take our treats as nothing?

Without us, do you think that you will be able to properly run or protect these people when you can't even send enough men down here?

Do you think that we won't report this matter to his majesty Alec Barn just because you are his son?" Fabian roared angrily.

"Eh?

Why are you all mad?

Didn't you give me a choice earlier on?

Well then, this king has made his decision and if you like, go report it to my father... if you can." Landon said with a sly smile on his face.

As for the matter of him sending a few people down here in batches, that was because he only did this so that these nobles could let their guards down and see him as weak.

And now, they had kicked themselves out without him forcing them to leave.

Who asked them to give him an ultimatum?

In their eyes, compared to Arcadina, Baymard was too small in size.

And no one truly knows anything about Baymard's forces and its size.

Other than the guards around, many would assume that Baymard probably had just enough to protect its Capital city and not enough to take care of these new territories.

So he sent out a few, but effective men towards each town, city and village.

And all the rebels were starting to fall into his trap.

If they wanted to blame anyone, then they could just blame themselves.

Of course, it was true that they were now William's men, and their army belonged to William since they pledged their oath of loyalty towards Arcadina.

So they had to go!
