Chapter 1963 William's Move

1963 William's Move
-Hidden Fortress, Arcadina --
Standing in the dead of night were William, his trusted aides and 10 other soldiers.
Finally, they caught the rat in its nest.
It's been what seemed like an eternity to William, looking for the best but never truly finding it.
But now, the cat and mouse game is finally over.
William had received work of the fortress's location out here in the far outskirts of Pingria city.
Who would have thought that his dear cousin would be so bold as to build a fortress close to one of the most 'protected' places in Arcadina?
Sure enough, the hunt. Landon had for him was right.
The enemy loved to live right under his nose, meaning the safest hiding spot would be within the most dangerous of places.
William has no proof, but felt that Landon should have known where the enemy's hideout was, but wanted him to figure it out on his own.
William wasn't offended knowing that. Landon meant. well.
What's more, whenever William felt death was near, the hidden guard from Landon's side always popped out to save the day.
It seems Landon only sent this guy over when he got word of an attack on his life.
"Your Majesty, we have observed this place for 3 days... Thanks to the Glendor Baymardian technique, we were able to remain undetected while observing them." One of his subordinates said, with a hint of pride in his voicc.
Understand that while these people were TOEP, they belonged to TOEP from Veinitta, where their master
was.
So of course they weren't as skilled as those from Morgany.
Using the Baymardian techniques as well as their own self improved techniques, they could see that they were actually very strong when facing these TOEPS from Veinitta.
The air was chilly and icy, the grounds wet and white, but William didn't care.
Grinning handsomely, he placed more small arrows into his wrist crossbow before slowly raising his hand to give the signal.
Move out!!!
...
~Croak!... Croak!... Croak!~
The night was dark and cold, with the sounds of frogs croaking away in the distance.
In the depths of the snowy jungle filled with cypress trees, a guard who had both eyes closed with his arms crossed against his chest, suddenly woke up and threw his head sideways with pupils continuously dilating. PUFF!
A cold light flashed across his neck, allowing him to see nothing else but RED.
No! No! How can this be?
Who are these people? And how did their TOEP not spot them sooner?
What was that breathing technique that was in complete rhythm with nature? And those stealth skills... they were on par with the true TOEPS from Morgany!
So does that mean that they died in the hands of their own, the TOEPS?
Have they come to clean them up because of the many failed attempts they had on William Barn's life?
Benef in his life did the TOEP killer believe such skills came from a Pyron,
Understand that every time they behardee out to kill William Barn, they were always on the winning side, always almost succeeding in their goals.
That is until a line hidden guard shows up to save the day.
So yes, this meant to them that except that line hidden guard, the rest were trash.
They still felt this way, not knowing that those they looked down on were training day and night, with advanced techniques provided to them by Baymard.
Plop!
The body fell back on the killer's chest. However, the killer hastily pushed the body back, allowing it to rest as it did before.
The killer crossed the man's arms and allowed his neck to slant down to hide the slash mark.
Tonight night, several Viett. TOEPS found their bodies softened to the ground, wanting to scream but finding they couldn't.
Some sounds shocked their companions next to them, but the companions themselves who wanted to check it out, also fell down in a blink of an eye, not understanding how they eventually died.
One found himself with his back against the snow and his body trembling heavily after a cold object was drawn
out of his chest.
Huff buff-
The man desperately struggled to breath but found his lungs filled with water, his own blood.
Now, he felt the sensation of drowning as he struggled heavily for air.
Tick-tock. Tick-tock.
4 seconds was all it took for him to die with eyes wide open.
Like so, William's group advanced stealthily on, but unfortunately, were still spotted by a few TOEPS. And then....
Bam!!
Several people rushed into the main building cloaked with green vines covered with snow.
"Master! We bring urgent news!!!
Several people were also gasping with pale faces, now dawned heavy battlegear.
One look at them and Sebastian knew trouble had come to his very own doorsteps.
"Mr. Grumpy, we've got a big problem!" Rudolf, his most trusted friend and aide, stormed in to also report the matter. "How much time do we have left?"
"Not a lot, master." One of them replied grimly. "They are already at the walls!"
What's worse, was that they brought their own Siege weapons along too.
"Fire!!!"
Bang!
Several flaming stones flew high in the air, aiming at the many TOEO archers on the walls.
The sounds of chaos could be heard all the way at the main fortress's building.
"Ahhhhh!"
Several people were launched down from the impact, falling face first onto the snowy grounds.
Bash!
Many had their necks crack and heads splatter from the impact alone,
"Kill them! Kill them all!!"
Several TOEPS were now panicked when seeing the cracks on the fortress gates.
They too tried using the Giant Arrow shooters, which were developed by Morgany, but found that when they dared to point the arrows, giant rocks would come flying their way, destroying their siege weapons.
Oh my God!
What sort of one-sided battle was this?
How could this happen all of a sudden?
No! They were TOEPS, the superior ones, and would never lose to these bastard Pyrons!
That's right, after seeing some faces up close, they knew these were people from Pyno and not Morgs like
them.
