Chapter 204

John thought and answered Marsh, "Hmm . . . bring back all the things to our temporary base first, it would be easier this way . Meanwhile, make insignia that General Anak and his men were here to kill all the Mercenaries in big bold characters . "

Marsh asked John cautiously, "Ok . What about the dead bodies of mercenaries . "

John thought a bit, nodded and answered, "Burn the rest, keep some leaders of mercenaries at the gates so that everyone gets to see their faces and fates clearly . People would know that Mercenaries were here under Prince Hector and Antonio . We are leaving shortly after this . Start making preparations to load all the cargo for the camp . "

"Yes, Milord . "

****

Meanwhile, the southern border of North-frontier city was currently attacked by Barbarians and Barrenmakers with 35,000 men .

Previously, Prince Hector made a deal with the Fjord which allowed the Barbarians and Barrenmakers to get their hands on Ballistas and shelter outside from John's eyes . These days they were in Eastern port .

Wilkins smiled as they attacked the main castle of Arlen and the Southern border . Wilkins spoke to Sandro with a big smile, "With these, we will be able to mount our attack on NF City . While that General is busy fighting that rookie . We can get this castle as our base . The geography here is quite good to defend . "

Sandro nodded and answered, "Yes, this is our biggest chance, it was worth it to keep our men hidden at Eastern port . It seems Prince Hector really hates that count since he was ready to make Concessions and deal with us . While that Baron, Antonio was quite happy to shelter us since he fears the Count very much . "

Wilkins licked his lips and answered, "But the range of those Ballistas is quite a surprise . I never knew that they also have this kind of range while it seems my old enemy Arlen is handling that Castle . It would be tough to bring down that castle as he is quite the cunning guy . "

After hearing about the Ballistas, Sandro smiled and answered in a cunning tone, "Well, no need to worry about that . We will bring our Ballistas closer to them even if we face some losses . That castle ain't moving anywhere while they are in shortage of men . What we need to do is bring those gates down and charge . The falling of those gates will be the end of them . "

Inside the Castle, As soon as the attack by Barbarians and Barrenmakers started .

Arlen ordered the men, "No need to panic, this attack was taken into consideration when General left for the frontlines . Keep a lookout for General's return . Until then target the enemy ballistas since they would be fatal against us . We are still not using the cannons . If the enemies invade inside the castle . you are free to use the Kalashnikov and A5 rifles . However, make sure that every one of them dies inside the castle since I don't want the existence of our guns getting leaked so early . Josephine is coming with reserves . so there shouldn't be any problems . However, it would be better if they don't get involved . "

The Ghost subordinate sighed with relief and gave his order to the men, "Ok, sir . I will pass these orders . This would at least encourage the men . "

he thought, 'This news of Kalashnikovs and A5's will calm down the men since Lord is not present . '

Arlen sharply looked at the battlefield as he spotted Wilkins,

He smiled and thought, 'They are in for deep trouble if they decide to invade this castle overestimating themselves . It's good seeing you again, Wilkins . '

Meanwhile, In Radiant City,

There were two men in luxurious clothes, talking in a serious manner .

Pope David asked the other man with a surprised face, "Are you sure about this deal?"

King Lionheart smiled and said, "Yes, you can get your hands on the Printing tech so it's a win-win situation for both of us . Meanwhile, both of us fighting would create a civil war so I would rather share things and avoid a civil war . Additionally, I don't like his interactions with Demons which is very worrying to me . Currently, he won't get support from Bluesea house because of my deal with Prince Chad so this is our chance to consolidate power for Aelius kingdom . "

Pope David smiled and answered, "Hmm . . . ok . I will agree with you as my interests coincide with you and that count has to pay for his insolence previously where he rejected my offer while he has long been a thorn for the radiant church with his new demonic medicines . So when are our armies attacking him?"

Lionheart thought as he shook hands with David, 'Hmph, I am only doing it because Eanred asked me to . While my losses would reduce as well if I don't fight the Radiant Church . So this is still better than nothing . Well, I would still need to appease Plato as he was planning to eat up everyone in Aelius with the ballistas . The dwarves have already stopped their aggressive patrols after 2 small battles with our ballistas in the east previously . These Ballistas surely came in handy . Why can't that Count simply understand his position and bow his head? He can easily become a duke in 10 years but I guess he overestimated himself when he created that Weapon . He would have been such a big asset for us against the Radiant Church . All the blackmailing of the Radiant church would have ended with the invention of those drugs . Well I am anyway targeting those drugs for now'

Pope David smiled and thought, 'I guess this is ok as well since I can spread our ideology with printing tech and Felix is already in our hands . It seems it was good to bluff the Royal family after our mass mobilization of Templars in Radiant city . We could not get a better deal . '

Lionheart smiled and answered, "We would attack them as soon as our armies join north of Dolores in 5 days on the pretext of him sheltering Bandits and ignoring the orders of Royal Family . Recently we got the news that Beasts have started attacking them on the northern front so this is a perfect chance . That Printing press is ruining the reputation of aristocrats day by day and the same goes for you guys . "

Pope David smiled and answered, "Good, My 30,000 Templars will be ready to join General Irwin tomorrow . Make sure he knows about it . While remaining templars which are mobilized would be divided between Radiant city and Dolores until the end of the war . I don't think that this war would end this early . "

Lionheart nodded as he left Radiant city in a disguise and immediately issued a decree for General Irwin to his subordinate .

After writing the letter and stamping the decree, He handed it over to his subordinate, "Remember to report him without fail . "

The subordinate nodded and immediately headed for Dolores on his best horse, "Yes, your Majesty . "

****

After concluding the Battle at the Border Castle town of Dolores, Anak and everyone gathered at their Temporary camp . After 2 hours, they had finally delivered all the resources from the Border town to the Camp .

Loads of Carriages were transporting all the resources as John asked for a report from his men,

"Was there anything when I left?"

The secretary answered, "No, Sir . Even the usual scout hasn't returned with a report, Milord . "

John furrowed his brows as he knew that Taylor wouldn't miss sending him a report about the current events every day even if it was a small affair .

One of the Ghost scouts came in with an emergency report, "Milord, there are 2 important matters . "

John had a foreboding feeling as he asked, "What is it?"

The Ghost answered without any wait as he gave a letter to John, "The first one is, We found some people normal people at the Border town where we attacked previously which we believe were kidnapped from Dolores by the mercenaries, these include both men and women . From the looks of this, we can conclude that Prince Hector and Antonio's men at the town knew about them . They say that they were brought there for sexual reasons by the mercenaries . However, many are traumatized to the point that they fear speaking to anyone . "

John sighed and answered, "Hmm . . . Ok, keep them at the camp . Treat them with respect as they might have psychological trauma . We will be bringing them back later on . It's good I ordered the execution of all those scums . What about the next important matter?"

The Ghost agreed and nodded as he reported about the second matter, "From the looks of it, we think someone has started attacking the Southern Castle since not even a single scout came to report from North-frontier City . Even my scouts noted that there is a large group of troops near the Southern Castle However, we are not sure about the invaders since they don't have a flag or banner representing them . And it seems that they were attacked when we attacked the base of Mercenaries . So if my guesses are right, they are mercenaries who coordinated this attack when we were away . "

There was a letter addressed to John from Liam which only had few words written on it, "Barrenmakers and Barbarians, hidden at Eastern port city . "

John smiled and understood as he read the letter, "Hmm . . . these guys just can't wait . "
