Chapter 2521: 1765 Abian's Greed

The world finally has peace!

In a moderately sized coastal town in Abian, Morgany, several people gathered in hundreds within the many car racks and training camps all around. Every day, thousands would arrive with stoic faces that showed pride within them. And at the same time, the number of vessels lining up in a particular reserved corner also grew thunderous by the day. What was going on? Why were so many forces gathering in the little coastal town? People came in from all directions in Abian during these last few weeks. And now, in mid-January, they were all preparing for the battle ahead. … Staring out his grand artistically designed window, Commander Rayos, stared at the many courtyards below. His office was at the center of this training estate, standing very tall in a lone tower that saw across the plains. It was winter, hardly the season for fruits.

Anyone eating fruits at this time of year was seen as super wealthy since the price typically skyrocketed 10~20 times its original selling price during the colder, harsher seasons. Behind Rayos, were several apples, grapes and other fruits of his choosing neatly arranged and placed in beautiful bowls on his table. There was always a jug of wine available to fill his belly too. It was too cold to stand on the balcony.

Throwing his hand behind him, Rayos grabbed a grape while still staring out his window. Looking at the men who seemed tinier the further they were, Rayos felt it was a good day! After getting cooped up in this place for months, they can finally leave! "Osiris, Brody, Hitchcoff… Begin." All 3 burly men behind him instantly spoke in the order called. "My Lord, 3 more armies have arrived and are getting settled in as we speak" "11 more war vessels have just arrived, my Lord." "Food, rowing slaves, horses, chariots… we are still amassing them." "Good…"

The reports were like music to Rayos' ears when he knew they were on the right track, just as planned. He was the commander of the Abian legion heading to Baymard! Word came from above not too long ago that once they were all set, they should set sail. Previously, they had to wait a while longer for the other 2 Morg empires to get ready, since dealing with Baymard was a concern for all of them. Although Morgany was united, they also had their few differences now and then. Everyone knew the potential Baymard had. So how can they not feel greedy? How can they not secretly want to get more goodies than their ally Morg empires? Understand that months and months earlier, the decision to take Morgany was made in the Abian empire, during the grand meeting about the Holy Core's arrival into Morgany and Baymard. There were representatives from the other 2 empires present in the grand meeting.

Abian had a head start because for one, after the meeting they immediately sent word to their forces scattered across the Abian empire. They sent messages to travel for months to alert these unit leaders to ready their men and head toward this coastal town. That was the plan. After word went out, it took their men at most another month to prepare before heading to this town. For some, the town was just a month away, but for others, it was 6 months away.

There was truly nothing they could do about it. Understand that traveling from any point within the empire and heading towards the capital city, already took at least 3 months. Meaning 3 months was the halfway point. So if one was at the far end in the opposite direction and was heading for the town, they would have to travel through to the Capital (3 months) before traveling from the Capital to the Coastal town (3 months.)

Mind you, 3 months is the minimum travel distance to reach the Capital. Some places use up to 5 months, depending on the tricky terrains and difficulties. In a nutshell, some people might arrive in the town in 3 months while others arrive in 6~8 months.

But were they going to wait that long?

Yes. That was the plan. And when all their forces are gathered, they will leave immediately!

Ah yes… The reason Abian had an advantage was because the meeting was held here, allowing them to make plans faster.

But for the other empires, it was another matter altogether. For one, the representatives from other empires had to not only use 3~4 months to travel to the coastal region where their ships were docked but also had to sail for 2 to 4 months around the shorelines just to reach the closest coastal towns/cities/villages in their prospective empires. When they reach, they now have to travel from that coastal region to the Capital for another several months. For a place like the Andorian Empire, because of its complex terrain, the horses get tired faster than in other territories. Heading to the Capital takes at least 4 months if you start within the closest coastal region. When you add it all up it will wake them a year just to head back and tell their monarch the news and the decisions made. Following that, they will start making plans, having all their men prepare for battle and head towards the coasts too. Again, that would take several months. Only then when everyone is gathered, can they leave. (-_-)

… Alas, what they wouldn't give to have Baymardian ships, vehicles and trains at this point. Don't forget that before Baymard created their ships, just sailing from Baymard to that particular coastline point in Carona, took 1 month and a few weeks. But now, it took at most 2 days to get there. In truth, with the sort of engines they had, it could arrive within a day, but Landon knew the importance of giving enough delay time when making schedules. That's why some cruise trips even take up to 3 days before getting to Carona. They sailed at a slow and steady pace, allowing people to also enjoy their time aboard the cruise line. Look at Yodan's case. Before, sailing between Yodan and Baymard would have taken at least 5 months. But what do you see? Now, it takes a little over a week to get there.

With transportation alone so much can change. Sadly, they in Morgany had no such technologies though they felt Baymard stole it all from them. Anyway, it would take the other empires at least a year and a half before setting out for Baymard. The Holy Core was discovered this last summer. And since then it has been 5 months and 3 weeks. For some, they received word from the capital a month after the decision was made and for others, they received word from the Capital just last month, early December and were now heading to this town. Rayo estimated that given another 3 and a half months, everyone should be here. Meaning late Spring they will move out!

.

Good… Good… Good. This was just great! Rayo was pleased with the decisions the higher-ups made. Once all Abian units are ready, they can move out immediately rather than wasting here doing nothing. Since January marks 5 months and a few weeks since the decision was made, the armies from the other empires will at least take another year before they begin heading out for Baymard. Didn't you hear what he said? BEGIN. This was the time they would begin sailing out from Morgany's shores. That will be sometime next year in January. This was already a new year, January. So you expect them to sit still for 1 whole year waiting for the other empires to get ready?

Do you know how many things they can do in just this one year? Alas… traveling was a b**ch. Mind you, after the 'one year,' they will begin setting sail to Baymard, which takes another 8 months if the weather and nature don't bug them. Sometimes, it can take up to a year and even a bit longer. Bottom line, it could be 2 more years from now before they attack Baymard. Why wait for so long? The higher-ups of Abian felt their hands itching, deciding that with the Holy Core's technology in their palms, they should immediately set out when all Abian forces arrived. They plan to leave in late Spring. And with any luck, after at least 8 months of traveling, they should arrive sometime next year in February.

This plan was better than having to wait for an additional year just to attack. A year after they reach, will be when the other forces will arrive at Baymard. Who has the time to wait for so long? Of course, the higher-ups were also very greedy for what Baymard had to offer, so they planned to first take over as many industries in the Baymard's lower region as they could before the other empires could come in to get the crumbs. It's TRUE that in the end, they will share all the knowledge they acquire with each other, but the rights to research and owning the industry will be theirs! So why wait? With the Holy Core's incredible powers at their disposal, can they still lose?
