Chapter 1018 - The Impatient Watchers!

nEveryone moved speedily, hurrying to complete their assignments.
nAnd soon, some of the tourists had noticed the action happening.
nHow could they not?
nSeveral Baymardian sh.i.p.s were speeding off in a flash, occupying different regions around the waters.
nThe strangest thing was that now, they were guided and showed the way to move diligently.
nThey smelt that something was off.
nCould it be pirates? Or some unknown enemy forces?
nTheir ears and eyes itched to discover the truth.
nBut no matter how much they asked, these Baymardians had tight lips, just smiling back at them and acting clueless about the whole thing.
nSmart people who owned their own sh.i.p.s chose to stay silent and observe a little bit more while sailing very, very, very slowly.
nThey didn't believe that they wouldn't be able to see anything!
nIt looked like a storm had come Baymard's way.
nSo, the question was, will they be able to settle it?
nMany looked ahead with curiosity, stretching their necks, hoping to see something.
nUnfortunately, a 2-mile radius was too far for the eyes alone to see things clearly.
nFrom where they were, the sh.i.p.s would only look like dots or streaks of light along the waters.
nAnd coupled with the Coast Guards directing and blocking vision, their efforts were deemed useless.
nDammit! Such a perfect opportunity to gather more information had been disrupted by these smiling Baymardians right before their very eyes.
nF***!
nSome people even decided to sail ahead and stop around one of the Arcadian Coastal cities, towns or villages, to wait and gather information.
nThis sort of thing could sell like hot cake... especially for some people who made a little out of selling information.
nThis scene had caught their interest.
nSo how could they just let it go?

"Change course!

n.
nLike that, plans had changed for many, as well as for the Dragias still aboard their sh.i.p.s.
n
"Primates! Primates! Primates!
nIt's bad.
nThe front sh.i.p.s have reported that over 15 massive Baymardian sh.i.p.s are heading our way.
nAnd on the ship, even though we can't see it clearly, it looks like they have hundreds and thousands on board.
nThose damn bastards earlier on had probably alerted their friends after leaving here.
"
nLinvor squinted his eyes dangerously:
"Impossible! Even if they already got back now, It's impossible for them to gather so many people in such a short time.
"
nJimosen nodded in agreement:
"It's either they were already prepared for us, or this is another team that happened to pass by. With the loyalty of the dragias, no dragia can betray the Temple, revealing info to these bastards. So we can safely assume that this group were just passing Baymardian sh.i.p.s.
"
n
"That's right. They're probably Baymardian sh.i.p.s that had been sailing at another region around the waters.
nIt's clear that those bastards who left earlier on had met them halfway through and reported the matter, hence making these people storm off towards us in rage.
nBut this shouldn't be a problem.
nWith Dragmus by our side and the rings of victory, this battle has already been on in our favour.
nDragmus never lies!
nNow, quickly tell the men to prepare for battle.
nProvided we can evade their shocking attacks (tasers), then the rest will be history.
nAll archers should stand firm and get ready to fire when those dogs come near.
nWe, the chosen ones, will always win.
nNow go!
"
n.
nIn a flash, the massive war horn in one of the rooms on the main ship was pulled towards the window and blown loudly.
n~Pupuup! Pupuup!~
n
n
nThe wind carried the sound across towards the neighbouring Temple sh.i.p.s, who in turn blew their own war horns, getting the message across the entire fleet of 48 vessels.
nSoon, the Dragias started tapping their legs on the ground in rhythm while singing some ritual song.
nAnd as they sang, the primates both removed their hats and long overalls, revealing a very purple attire underneath.
nThey both wore white longed-sleeved medieval fabric shirts and what looked like a purple vest on top of it.
nOf course, their pants were back, their leather belts black, and their boots black as well.
nAnd dangling around their waists, was their purple sword sheaths, which also had compartments for their Blessed Dragia daggers too.
nAs the Dragias chanted and stumped their feet in rhythm, the Primates also got ready for battle.
nThe battle cry of all 150,000 people chanting and stumbling their feet in unison, coupled with the war horns, made those curious tourists miles away feel like crying.
nSure. From here, it wasn't that loud.
nAnd quite frankly, it sounded like a squirrel talking.
nBut the fact that they could hear something this far away meant that if they were closer, it would probably make their ears erupt.
nSome started talking across their sh.i.p.s to the Baymardian vessels close to them, trying to bribe these people.
n.
n
"Bro... I'll pay you 5,000 Bays on the spot if you just give me a bit of information on the matter.
nThink about it. That's 5,000 Bays!
nEh? Is it not good enough? Then how about 8000?
n10?... 20....? 50,000 Bays! I will give you that and even throw in my daughter to the first person that gives me all the juicy details.
"
n
"Young man... Young man.
nPlease. I'll die if you don't get me information.
nYou might not know, but the doctor said I only have 2 days to live.
nJust do this one thing for me, and the God you serve will reward you handsomely.
nIsn't it your way as a Baymardian to always tend to the poor, sick and needy?
nWell, I'm dying… So give me the info now!
"
n
"Hey! These seas don't belong to you people!
nIf I want to set sail in this direction, why can't I?
"
n
"That's right! You all clear the way for me as well.
nI want to pass this way, not that way.
nSo why do I have to listen to you?
"
n
"A Soothsayer told me that if I don't sail this way, then I'll perish soon.
nSo will you be able to sleep well at night knowing that you killed me?
