nOnce these weapons were made, Landon would create several practice scenarios for the soldiers... so that they could train more efficiently.

nRight now, the men just shot stationary targets.. As well as moving targets that were being controlled by a lever.

nImagine those shooting games within amusement parks.. were if one shot the moving target, they would get a teddy bear as a prize.

nWell, that was how the moving targets were done here... they only moved from left to right at a controlled pace.

nBut what Landon wanted the soldiers to learn, was how to shoot moving targets that knew how to think for themselves.

nLike terrorists that knew how to think, take hostages, and shoot back at them.

nAlso, these weapons would also be good for the police officers and security guards as well.

nHe would create bank heist scenarios, and other potential hostage scenarios that could take place within the city.

nThat's why when these weapons will be created, he'll divide them into 2 groups and give them their missions.

nObviously one group would be the good guys, why the other group would be the bad guys.

nHe also wanted them to know what to do when their mission was compromised.

n

"Hmmm... that's good... I too, would like to try these new weapons.

" Lucius said while nodding his head.

nAlthough Lucius knew that real bullets would definitely kill him.... there was always a part of him that wanted to know if it was actually as painful as what Landon had said.

nHe had shot animals with these bullets, and had seen them die instantly... so he knew that they wouldn't definitely kill or injure him.

nBut how painful was it though?

nAs a former knight, he had received more than 30 sword stabs throughout his entire career.

nSo he wanted to know the so called 'impact pain' from these bullets.

nLandon looked at him and smiled.

n

"I have to tell you though... what you would feel from these bullets, would only be about 1

/10 (10%) of what you would feel from being shot with real bullets.

nBut even the pain factor from these ones, are extremely great.

"

nThis was just basic physics.

nIf something was coming towards anyone at that speed, then the force of impact would be ridiculously great.

nOf course the weight of the bullet, also plays an important part to the pain factor as well.

nThe targeted region would feel like it was about to shatter.

nThat's why even when people still wear bulletproof vests, the bullet force would still cause them to feel immense pain.

nAll the momentum and energy that had been building up from the gun... and through the air, would now be fully focused on that targeted region.

nThe pain is truly gruesome.

n

"Don't worry, I'll get the Weapon making department to get on it A.S.A.P.

nAlthough it's not as painful as regular gunshots, when you try it... you'll know.

"

nFor some reason when Lucius looked at Landon's smile, he felt like he had just dug a grave for himself.

n

"Eh ehmm... Well, enough about that.

nLet's talk about your birthday.

nAre you prepared for tomorrow's celebration?

"

n.

n--Riverdale City, Arcadina--

n.

n

"Finally.... we've made it!!

" Yelled a tall burly man.

nThe man's name was Obadiah, and he was one of the very many subordinates to Master Nopline.

nHis master was a well known slave trader around Arcadina.

nHe had come to Riverdale with 20 of his henchmen, in hopes of lodging here for the next few days.

nTheir master had sent them down here to get as many slaves as they could from Baymard.

nAlthough they knew that 300 knights were currently stationed there, they still felt like those knights wouldn't necessarily care for the people.

nAfter all, this wasn't their first time going into a city filled with knights.

n

n

nTypically, they would go into several cities..... and promise the poor, lots of riches and a new life.

nSo they basically sold dreams to these hopeless fools.

nPeasants were always the easiest to trick.

nThey were usually, hopeful, somewhat honest and incredibly stupid!!!!

nThey believed anything anyone said, provided the person looked kind and righteous.

nBahahaha!!!.

nWhy would they go out of their way to give riches to people that they didn't know?

nTsk!!... They were just hopeful dimwits, with no sense of purpose or direction.

nGenerally once the people were convinced, they would usually send their sons and daughters to go with them to this new 'Promise Land'.

nHehehehe..... it was always funny, watching these people bid farewell to their loved ones.

nSome parents would even caution their children to always be obedient and work hard... while others would wail and cry out loud.

nThe children who had decided to leave with them, would often promise that they would come back home with riches and take care of their loved ones.

nMorons!!!!

nAnyway, their master needed more slaves... so that they could be sold to wealthy people within Arcadina, as well as some Money temples.

nSome of these slaves would also be shipped across the waters, to other continents and empires.. if need be.

nAnd right now, Baymard was looking like a big fat piece of juicy meat to them.

nIt was said that the place was so poor that the people didn't even have enough food to eat.

nSo if they promised the people food and a better life, then wouldn't they willingly follow?

nThis was a big jackpot to them.

nJust thinking about all the useless and weak peasants around, made them feel like this particular job would be too easy to accomplish.

nWho knows.... maybe some of the knights would have been driven to madness by hunger, and would also willingly follow them back as well.

nHis master had promised him a fat reward if he could also convince the soldiers to follow them towards the 'Promise Land'.

nObadiah and his henchmen, quickly paid for their lodgings and settled down.

nSince it was just mid-day, some of the men went around the city to find out if any interesting thing had happened within Baymard.

nAfter all.... although they had heard the news about the city, they knew better than to always believe news that heard here and there.

nSituations could always change... so in this line of business, it was important to get ones facts straight.

n

"Javis, is the news different from what we already know?

" Obadiah asked.

n

"Boss....It's exactly the same.

nI even asked if anyone had done trading with the city.

nAnd I was told that for more than 6 months now, no merchant or caravan has gone towards Baymard.

nActually, it makes sense since no one would be willing to incur the wrath of King Barn.

nThe place is treated like a city for the dead.

nWith all this happening, it's clear that those people either hunted for their food or fished food from the waters.

nEither way, their land is still barren, and their in dire need of money and riches.

"

n

"Hahahaha... that's great!!!

" Obadiah said excitedly.

n

"But boss... what about the soldiers and that bastard king?

"

n

"Hmmp!!!!... what can they truly do to stop us?

nFirstly, I don't think that they would be a problem.

nIts believed that, that bastard is seriously ill.... and doesn't have long to live.

nSo it's clear that his men would be more worried about guarding his life, than worrying and guarding those peasants.

nBesides... haven't we already taken hundreds of children in this manner?

nThe soldiers usually don't care... and even if they tried to stop us, we could just do what we usually do.

"

n

"Boss... you mean bribe them?

" Javis asked.

n

"Yup!!.. that's exactly what we'll do.

nAll these men with authority and power, are just the same.. so there's nothing for us to worry about.

"

n

"Ehmmm boss.... when we succeed in getting these children, are we allowed to have a taste of some of them?

" Asked another man, who was smiling wickedly.

n

"Hehehehe!!

nThis time, you all are allowed to touch them..... since our clients don't care if they're virgins or not.

nBut you guys can only do 'it', after we arrive at our base at 'Kilua City'.

nWhen we get there, you guys have to give the girls those potions from the apothecaries, before pleasuring yourselves.

n

n

nWe wouldn't want any of them to be pregnant, now would we?

nSo I suggest you destroy their wombs completely, before doing 'it'.

nAlso, since some of you prefer little boys... then you guys can go on right ahead with them, just make sure that you don't bruise them up too much.

"

nHehehehe..... everyone licked their lips in anticipation.

nVirgins were always the best.... be it boys or girls, it was always fun for them to watch their prey struggle against them.

n

"Alright, alright!!!!

nToday, everyone is allowed to have fun at the pubs and brothels.

nBut by midnight, I need you all back and sound asleep.

nTomorrow, we'll start our mission.

"
