"Brother... don't worry... I'll do what you've said.

nSoon, we'll announce King Micheal's death to the world.

nBut for now... I think you're forgetting one more important thing brother.

nBaymard's weapons!

nBased on the rumours going around, they have something that produces lightning from it.

nWouldn't that bring you at a disadvantage?

"

n

"Not at all,

" Nopline said while stroking his rough chin.

nOf course, he had also heard about that particular weapon.

nBut from what he knew, one had to be somewhat close to these men before they used the weapons on them.

nSo he had already prepared to make his archers launch numerous arrows first... before sending his swordsmen there too.

nAnd in addition to that, he had also planned to make many shields for his men too.

nHe didn't believe that such weapons could work against iron shields.

n.

nAnd when it concerned the other weapons that Baymard had, even though he was slight clueless..... he didn't feel bothered at all, because he had sent his best man in.

nThe man he sent in had been trained in moulding his personality into whatever suited the situation best, and could make even the most heartless people pity him and fall for his tricks.

nThis same man was the person who usually gathered information about other empires for him.

nThe guy appealed to all the men, women and even children.... as he stroked their egos, made them feel superior and even gave them some sort of hope.

nAnd when one looked at his baby-like face and smooth... no one would ever rope him in as an assassin, spy or a tough man in the society.

nHe was usually seen as someone cool to hang out with.

nAnd this demeanour, made his easily blend in with people who were usually hard as a rock, and steak their secrets or plans.

nOf course every time he did so, he would pin the blame on someone else easily.

nNo one had ever gotten a leg up on him, so Nopline knew that no matter what... his man would do this particular mission successfully.

n.

n

"Brother... I heard that apart from the lightning weapon, there are other weapons as well.

nBut no one knows what they do, as they have never been used before.

nSo you have to be careful when launching a full-scale attack on Baymard.

"

n

"I know..... that's why I sent Hemrew in.

"

n

"Hemrew?

nThe guy who had had 35 different surnames identities as of now?

"

n

"Yes... that Hemrew.

"

nListening to Nopline, Kamara couldn't help but breathe out in relief.

nWith such a man working for them, she felt like she was worrying over nothing.

nShe herself had used Hemrew to get information from her enemies.... so she knew how good he was.

nHemrew... the name was one that only a handful of people knew of.

nAnd his expertise we're top-notch.

n.

n

"Yes... I sent Hemrew to get a list of all weapons that they had there..... as well as a detailed description of how each one is made and how to use them.

nEven though I know that we won't loose.... having these things might even make us upgrade our weapons before the big battle.

nSo with all that said, I don't believe that I won't be able to win against these Baymardians.

nTo me, even though we lost this opportunity to get so many front line slaves to die first... I'm sure that it would make no difference whether we have them or not.

nBecause no matter how I look at it, our victory is secured either way.

nAnd don't worry too much about these little things.

nAs of now, we have 2 spies within the Baymard army.

nSo everything will definitely work as planned.

" Nopline said confidently.

nFor him, it was only a matter of time, before Baymard officially belonged to him.

nHe would let his sister run Terique, while he ran Baymard as his own empire all to himself.

n

n

n.

nAfter Nopline and Kamara finished up with their discussions, Kamara quickly went to relay her plans to her son Lecter.

nAlso, she had another surprise for her darling son.

nWith her around, he really didn't have to do much.

nThe world thought that he was the brains behind some of the changes in Terique..... but in truth, the boy had brains the size of a peanut.

nAll-day long, he would abuse those within the palace, watch jesters perform and play deadly games as much as he wanted.

nShe quickly found her son playing his favourite game.... which was 'make me happy: eat a frog or die.'

nHe would tell the jesters and those who had any talents, even singing or hosting puppet shows on the streets... to showcase their talents and make him happy.

nIf they could, then they would get to get a live frog in front of him and live.

nBut if they didn't, then they would die in the most gruesome ways ever.

nKamara walked in when one of the most famous musicians in Terique, was helplessly chewing on a live frog.

nThe man's face had already turned slightly green, as he truly felt like throwing up any moment from now.

nBut he knew that if he did, this demonic king Lecter would definitely behead him immediately.

nKamara watched the man swallow everything whole, before finally stopping her son's show.

n

"Mother.... why did you disturb this son?

" Lecter said while pouting angrily.

nKamara looked at her cute chubby son and pinched his jaws playfully.

n

"Lecter.. do you remember that girl that you said you wanted to marry?

nI've taken her from her home and locked her up in the dungeon.

nNow... she's yours, son.

"

nLecter's greasy puffy face immediately lit up with joy after hearing his mother.

nTrue enough....no matter how hard they resisted him.

nWith his mother around, who would dare say no to him?

nHe smiled cruelly when he thought about how he would beat her into submission.

nIt was better for his new wife to be fearful of him and know her place, so as to make their marriage sail smoothly.

n

"Thank you, mother,

" Lecter said while kissing his mother's hands.

nNow, he had a new toy to play with.

n.

nOf course while Lecter was happy with his own toy, far away in Arcadina..... someone else was also happy about meeting his new toy too.

nA tall man wearing a dark cloak stood silently in a dark dense forest with a gleeful smile on his face.

n'Feuip! Feuip!'

nSoon, 2 other men dropped in from the trees and knelt down before him.

n

"My lord.... the perimeter is secured.... and all men are now in position.

"

n

"Good.... we will begin our attack in an hour's time.

nGo!

nInform the rest.

"

nWith that, the men quickly disappeared..... leaving the cloaked man all to himself again.

nThe man smiled underneath his dark mask as he thought about all the exciting things that he would do today.

nFinally, his master had given him a new toy to play with.

nThe plan chuckled for a bit, before finally disappearing again into the night.
