1394: A Messy Czar

A Messy Czar

Like so, those in the empire of Czar became more and more heated up.

How could they not be?

Even their monarch was biting his nails from anxiety. 

These people had just stormed in, behaving like mercenaries.

Of course, organically, these people came in through the 'front door'... As they say.

These intruders originally and very humbly requested cooperation to deal with the curse at hand. 

However, the greedy eyes of the monarch, as well as several nobles, couldn't resist wanting to confiscate their carriages and everything they had on them... Including their cool clothes too.

After all, if you do the math, they, the nobles and knights of Czar, were so many in number and could easily overpower these intruders.

Though they might lose a few, what they lose should be a small number. 

F***! Do you know how many knights and nobles reside in the capital?

Most big clans have their primary Clan residence in the capital. And each person with status from that noble home would have their one set of guards and public knights. 

2,000... 5,000... 10,000... 20,000... The number of guards people had was a lot, not to talk of what the royals had. 

The palace itself was a gigantic zone divided into sectors with a vast number of guards in rotation. 

.

In addition, one shouldn't forget all the talents, both young and old, residing in the knighthood academy. 

And lastly, apart from the many movies and those around, there were city guards scattered a mock too. 

No matter how one saw it, if they all came together and acted against these people, they would definitely win. 

Yes!

With the curse, they did lose quite a few people... However, their losses were less than 2%... Mostly the peasants, with little or no losses from the nobility.

That's right.

These intruders came in 1 week after the curse had penetrated the capital.

But so what?

The Monarch, healers, Apothecaries, and even the Muyins (priests) of their God Jah, weren't grateful at all!

What a joke! 

The curse had only surprised them initially. So wouldn't it take time to deal with it? 

They felt that using their customary rituals of divinity, bloodletting, and a couple of factors, they should be able to solve it themselves. 

So what thanks should they give these strangers? 

As per Landon's orders, the Baymardians had discharged towards all regions in Czar, ensuring that they didn't miss a single spot... Or else, even if they cured the already infected places and left, wouldn't their efforts and work be undone if it started all over again in another region? 

.

Like so, the Baymardians had done their job steadily, with all task units and medical staff from the ships strong out strategically. 

And that was how they got to the Capital on time, making the Nobles and the monarchs greedy for what they saw. 

However, these people refused to cooperate with them even though the lives of their citizens were at stake. 

So what else could they do except to act like mercenaries?

Sure.

These people outnumbered them, but so what? 

The Baymardians gave their warning by targeting picking public forest-like zones within the royal and noble estates.

Rick people liked to have lawns that stretched out far, with ponds, little bridges, and even small forest regions in their estates. 

Some might have 2 or even 3 forest-like hills in their homes... Some for keeping their abandoned wives far away, while others for sightseeing or keeping wild pets in. 

In the end, it wasn't uncommon for an estate to have a lot of greenery. 

And the bigger the clan, the more grand and numerous these forest zones were. 

The Baymardians didn't want to kill anyone... Yet. Only if they have to would they do so. 

As a warning, they exploded these forest zones within all the noble estates simultaneously. 

.

2 A.M. 

The ground shook, a massive crater was formed as though a meteor had crashed within these comes! 

Fire had lit up, burning one or two of their precious forest zones. 

Luckily, with the way they designed their estates, the fire wouldn't spread out of the other regions of their estates.

Still... The next day, every noble, and even his majesty, all had solemn faces. 

This was a slap to their faces. 

As powerful men, who could take such an insult and blatant show of arrogance?

At first, they didn't know who did it. 

However, the Baymardians themselves, when asked, shrugged their shoulders, saying it would be easy to kill off everyone idle they wanted to. 

'_'

Dammit!

Such an explosion and fire all over their grand noble estates meant that these Baymardians had a vast amount of black powder with them. 

What if they had decided to kill them in their sleep instead?

And just look at their superior skills? 

No one had seen them move... How did they do it? 

.

Of course, since it happened in early spring, the Baymardians didn't use hot air balloons but snuck in to do the job. 

They wanted time-bombs to go out at the same time.  2

Did you see the holes those time bombs left in the ground? What sort of black powder were these people using?

Some nobles felt that they should've run out of black powder, wanting the monarch to take advantage of this. 

However, before they could put their plan into motion, more strange vehicles came in as backup. 

And the sizes of these vehicles were even more dreadful and intimidating than the earlier ones.

That's right.

More Baymardians had arrived with Military Tanks and bigger war machines.

(-_-)

Say no more. 

Everyone cringed their neck, feeling the heavy tension in the air. 

Like so, the Baymardians forcefully began quarantine. 

No one in, and no one out.

The monarch pulled blood severally, having people give orders on his behalf.

He was like a paper monarch now. 

But what could he do?

The situation in Czar was a mess!

However, the ordinary folks didn't seem to mind.
