n'Ting!'

n'The host has a new urgent mission.

nDeadline: Tonight!'

n'__'

n.

nLandon sighed helplessly, while secretly cursing the black-bellied system in his heart.

nHe hadn't even started the other side missions, yet he had another one already?

nAfter going through all these worlds, he would definitely complain to customer service later on.

nHe massaged his temples and quickly looked at this new mission of his.

n.

nSide Mission 7:

nAs Riverdale is the city in between both empires (Arcadina and Baymard).... the host is required to kill both leaders who escaped today, and take over Riverdale city for the time being.

nSince the Gods frown upon stealing and taking what doesn't belong to you.... the host should remember that you are only safekeeping the region until the Ghostly Prince officially sits on the throne.

n.

nThe land isn't yours to take..... so if host wants to add it to Baymard, host will have to take permission from the red ordained by the heavens.

nSo for now... it is important that the system drills this point into the host's head: Riverdale WILL NOT be part of Baymard!!!

nTherefore, with all this in mind... here are the rules that the host had to follow:

n1) Under no circumstance, should the host develop Riverdale City.

nThe host is only allowed to do so when he has successfully unified the whole Hertfilia.

n2) since the most will take charge, he is required to straighten out all corrupt noblemen there... and rid the place of any injustice done to the poor.

n.

nThe host should remember that the system had brought you into this world..... so as to develop it and liberate its people.

nEverything that the host currently has is given by the heavens.... and can be taken back at anytime if the host doesn't comply.

nAt that time, the host's soul would be destroyed regardless.

nHence the host is required to use his current funds and resources in dealing with all these bibles within Riverdale city.

n.

n3) Even though the host can't make any high tech devices for those in Riverdale city.... the host is still required to better their lives.

nSince the system doesn't want any concrete structures out of Baymard..... the host could create good wooden homes for the peasants there.

nThe host is to decrease the death rate within the city, as well as ensure that the people there could afford a decent meal as well.

nThe host can do whatever he deems fit there, as long as he doesn't expose or use modern technology there..... at least until peace treaties are signed throughout this world.

n.

n4) The host should note that this rule is the most important of them all.

nIf the host dares to mistreat the people there, the system would send thunder to fry and kill him instantly.

nMany have died and had their souls dissolve into nothingness.... just because they let the negative emotions of this world get to them.

nThe system had picked someone from earth because earth had certain rules and guidelines that were aligned with the heavens.

nThe moment the host changes his viewpoint.... the system will completely destroy him.

nTHE HOST HAS BEEN WARNED!!

nMission Deadlines:

n•Deadline 1: Kill both leaders who escaped today... by 2 A.M max.

n•Deadline 2: Take over and organize Riverdale City by the next 8 days max.

n

n.

nLandon looked at his mission, and soon realized that he was just an NPC to the Gods.

nHe had to act in accordance to his role, no and never deviate from it..... unlike the Hertfilians, who had the choice to be good or bad.

nWith him, there were no choices.

nHe squinted his eyes, as he looked at the stillhoutes of his leaving enemies who had ran off with their tails between their legs.

nBy the end of tonight, none of them would survive.

nIt was either they died, or he died.... due to the systems analogy.

nSo of course he would end their lives in a heartbeat if it would keep him alive for the time being.

n.

nTurning away from the battlefield, he was immediately greeted with several eyes that were all looking at him in reverence, surprise, shock, awe and even worship.

nThe entire place was dead silent like a deserted graveyard, as the soldiers all waited for Landon to give out his next orders.

n.

nSome of the Baymardian soldiers stayed calm and collected..... as this wasn't their first time witnessing the might of Baymard's attacks.

nBut ecn still, within their hearts..... they were jumping about like 5 year old children.

nNo matter how many times they had seen it... there was always a shock or amazed factor to the whole thing when one sees the damage that it had caused their enemies.

n.

nThe Caronian soldiers were utterly lost for words about what had just gone down.

nIf they told others about it.... would anyone truly believe them?

nTheir hearts raced back and forth, as they looked at the man who had led his men to a one-sided victory.

nHow could one man think of such weapons?

nWhat sort of freak was he?

n.

nTheir complexions changed greatly, as they recalled the screams of those fallen knights.

nIt was just too scary to imagine oneself on the other side of the battlefield instead.

nThe poor fellows probably didn't understand how they had ended up dead to begin with.

nPenelope stood there and looked at Landon for a good period of time..... as only the heavens knew what she was thinking of.

n.

nOnce Landon gave out his commands to the men.... everyone soon began chatting and cleaning up the bloody battlefield.

n

"Oh my God!!.... did you see that?

"

nI must be dreaming right?

"

n

"What dream?

nJust look at all those bodies below and you'll instantly know whether you're hallucinating or not.

"

n

"(Gulp)... this Baymard is truly scary.

nLuckily, we are their brothers from now on.

nOr else it might be us down there someday.

"

n.

nLandon was about to prepare for his new mission, when Penelope walked up to him calmly.

n

"Let's talk!

"

n

"_

"

nThe woman was as direct as ever.

n.

n'Bammm!!'

nThe door to one of the meeting rooms within Kings Landing.... was shut tightly, with only Landon and Penelope within it.

n

"Sister-in-law, what's up?

" Landon asked while looking at the trembling Penelope.

nWas she mad at him for not giving Carona such weapons?

n--silence--

n

"_

"

n.

nThe more Penelope stared at him, the more amused he became.

nShe stared at him as if he had just brought out an entire giraffe from his pockets.

nWell, to be fair.... what had just happened was probably the greatest magic trick that most or them had ever seen.

n.

nSparks flew in Penelope's brain, as she recalled the gruesome battle.

nAnd even though she had so many questions to ask to Landon... right now, only one question popped in her mind.

n

"When are you going to make some of these weapons for Carona?

" Penelope asked calmly while tapping her fingers on the table.

nWith such weapons, Carona would definitely be a hundred times stronger than it is today.

n.

nSister-in-law... with these weapons, how confident are in safeguarding them?

nIf they fell into the wrong hands.... how sure are you that Carona wouldn't be at the loosing end of this matter?

nRight now, even though I appreciate and respect Carona 's government.... one cannot simply deny the fact that the entire empire is filled up with ton of spies who are deep rooted into power.

nThose people would be the first to steal and give it these weapons to their masters and allies without your consent.

nSo my dear sister-in-law, what you're requesting for is totally out of question... for now.

"

n.

nHearing that last sentence, Penelope's eyes lit up as she.

n

"For now?

nDo I take it that in the future you'll allow produce and even teach us how it's made?

nAnd if so.... why will that be? And why wait till then?

" She asked curiously.

n

"Well.... the main reason why I decided not to give anyone these weapons, was also because of the people.

nIf an enemy wields these weapons, the ones who would have their lives turned upside down the most, would be the peasants.

nPeople generally got greedy with more power in their hands... so until I've signed enough peace treaties with others, then I'll allow the world to have access into Baymard's technology.

"

n

"_

"

n.

nAfter dealing with his sister-in-law, he quickly made haste and selected 14 men for tonight's operations.

nHe could have done it solo, but if that was the case... then the soldiers would wonder when he had gone out of Baymard under their watch.

nHence he had to make his attacks openly.

n.

nFirstly, from today's massacre.... the leaders had lost a massive chunk of their power, and the rest of their men were probably scattered around in different cities, within different hidden camps.

nIn Sanders' case, he had left his own city and had come here in hopes of acquiring Baymard.

nSo one could say that both leaders were somewhat vulnerable for now.

n.

nTime passed by quickly... and soon, it time for Landon and his squad to make their way towards Riverdale city.

nIt was time to end this.
