n'Crash!!!!'

nThe entire bedroom chamber looked like it had just survived from a tornado disaster.

nThe bedroom drapes had been ripped forcefully, as one could see visible signs of a struggle between the drapes and their owner.

nAs for the tables, cupboards, foot stools and any other wooden piece of furniture in the room.... those ones were all either broken or flipped upside down all around the room.

n.

nBut surprisingly, even though the place looked like thieves had just raided it .. ..... there was a very minute region that was left untouched.

nAnd that tiny space had a table that was filled with numerous mouth watering pallets on it.

n.

nNopline placed his thick hands on his chest, and tried to calm himself down as best as he could.

nDammit!!

n'Thumthum!.... ThumThum!

"

nHe could feel his heart pounding heavily, as his chest rose and fell quickly.

n

"You, you, you, you, you and You!

nCome here here!!

" He said, while pointing at the servants who were currently standing beside the knights.

n.

nLooking at all the shattered ornaments and priceless artifacts scattered around him, how could he allow himself to get injured?

nVery quickly, the servants stooped parallel to each other on the floor, in a Dog-like position.... and braced themselves for what was to come.

n.

nNopline's large behind, soon covered all 5 backs.... as he placed his massive body on the servants backs.

n

"Well, what are you all waiting for?

nGet to the table now!!

"

n

"_

"

nAs if used to it, the servants began crawling and carrying their heavy master towards the table ahead.

n.

n'Cllinksh!'

nAs they moved, the shattered pieces around them..... instantly dug into their flesh, badly bruising them.

nBut they knew that if they stopped, their master might do worse than having them walk over sharp objects.

n.

nArriving at the table filled with rare delicacies, Nopline angrily picked up an entire roasted bird and forcefully bit into it.... while grumbling and spitting over the rest of the food before him.

n'Chew! Chew! Chew! Chew! Chew!'

n'Why am I surrounded by idiots?

nHow come there's no news of that Villain?' He thought, while looking at his knights in disgust.

n.

nNopline felt like the Heavens were truly blind.

nHow could that rogue steal from him?

nNot just his money, but his slaves as well?

nSeveral months ago, he had received several letters saying that all his camps within Carona had been raided clean.

nAnd now, he had just received a letter saying that one of the campsites in Arcadina had been raided clean as well.

n.

nHe had a bad promininition about the whole ordeal.... as something told him that the other camps in Arcadina would also be experiencing the same issues as well.

nOf course before, he had sent people to investigate the matter in Carona..... and from his estimation, they should've arrived sometime in February.

n.

nAlso, around that time..... he had sent out several messages to his spies around each empire, telling them to look for this Landon Obley guy.

nAnd judging from the distance, those letters should arrive within each empire..... from this month of March, up to May.

n.

nEverything depended on how far it took to travel to the Coastal regions of these empires..... as well as travel from the shores to the cities where his spies were currently staying at.

nBut where he really felt like he had f***ed up on, was the fact that he had underestimated his enemy.

n.

nJust like how the Roman's had initially underestimated Spartacus... and Nopline too, had done the same.

nAt that time, the Roman government felt like it was too powerful to be trampled on by 1 slave.

nAnd this gave Spartacus all the time he needed, to grow his army to a sizable number.

n.

nLikewise, Nopline had felt like this Landon Obley guy was just a cockroach who had gotten lucky.

n

n

nBut now, receiving the letter from Arcadina.... something told him that this bastard would overturn him if he wasn't careful.

nHe had to act fast!!

n.

nNopline chewed his food hurriedly, as he continued to rack his brain around all the unexpected events.

n

"Malipnus!

"

n

"Yes master!!

"

n

"Send 5,000 soldiers to each camp within the other empires immediately!

nI fear that this loathsome fellow might attack them when we least expected it!

"

n

"But master.... why don't we send out more men?

"

n

"Are you an idiot?

nThis might be what that bastard is hoping for.

nIf we do that, then wouldn't our powers in Terique be weakened?

nBy that time, he would probably walk in here and attack us.

"

nEnough nonsense!!

nDon't forget that our main task is to find out who we are dealing with first.

"

n

"--

"

n.

nNopline thought about the matter again, and soon wrote several detailed instructions on numerous letters.

nIt would be best if they could stop the other assaults from happening.

nBut of course, life never went as one expected it to.

n.

nIn fact, one could argue that his plans were a tad bit too late..... as the so called Landon Obley, had already sent out his own men to those empires several months ago.

nSo no matter how one looked at it, when Nopline's men arrived at those camps..... their enemy would be long gone.

n.

nNopline chewed his food and went over the contents of the letter.

nHe was told that the enemy had attacked in the late of night, and had used up a massive number of snow powder to blow everything up.

nAnd surprisingly, they had also arrived in fewer numbers as well.

n.

nFrom all these, one could conclude that his enemy was filthy rich.... as they could afford so much snow powder.

nAnd apart from the Money, they also had skilled archers, who shot the snow powder into his camps.

nIn Nopline's mind, the enemy had become rich by robbing him clean.

n.

n

"I want this mission done properly!

nNo more mistakes, you hear me!!!?

"

n

"Yes master!

"

n

"Good!

nNow all of you..... get out of my sight!!!

"

n

"__

"

n.

nAs soon as they left, someone else came in with a small metal chest on his shoulders.

nLooking at the scared face man before him, Nopline picked up his goblet of wine and stared irritably at the man.

n

"Tell me!!!

nDo you have bad news as well?

nIs that why you're here too?

nAll of you are just too useless!!

"
