Chapter 485 Ready As Can Ever Be!
Chapter 485 Ready As Can Ever Be!
"Master.... they're here."
"_"
Slytherin nodded to the guard who just came in, and then broadly smiled at his aides.
"See... I told you he would come.
My little rabbit never disappoints.
Is everyone ready?"
"Your majesty.... we planned for this for 7 whole months.
So, of course we're ready.
All the 15,000 men scattered above ground and underground are ready to make their move." Said the guard who had just come in.
One had to know that for the past 7 months, they had been staying in battle positions all this time.
So they were more than ready to face this enemy of theirs.
"Excellent!
You can go back now.
And remember do as planned.
You can kill everyone, but leave their leader alive.
If anyone were to kill him... I'll personally skin the person alive and feast on his flesh!
Is that understood!"
"Yes, Master." The guard replied, before setting out of the building.
"Good!
Now go!"
Slytherin looked at his fading figure and smiled coldly.
"Darius!
Go get the woman.
It's time!"
With that, one of his aides was off, leaving him and his other aid there silently.
"Master... I had never thought that they would brazenly attack us in the daytime.
Isn't that less advantageous to them since we will be able to see them?"
"Don't forget.... the same could be said for them.
They too will see us as well.
But no matter how many tricks they have up their sleeves, today will be their day to live." Slytherin said while placing his hands behind his back and walking calmly towards the building's exit.
It's time for the finale to begin.
Of course, while he was making his own plans.... his enemies were fighting their way through the path as well.
.
Within a dense forest, the birds chirped very loudly than usual.
The sun's dull rays flashed through the bare trees, and the very cold breeze harshly swept within the forest without a care in the world.
With one look at the sky, one could see a bunch of dark clouds slowly advancing over the forest region.
There was no doubt that in a couple of minutes or even hours, the sky would begin to cry out again.
But of course, whether rain or storm..... today was a day that many had chosen to ride out in honour.
'Gallop! Gallop! Gallop! Gallop! Gallop!'
Within the forest, several groups of men were currently making their way on horseback wearing heavy armoury... as well as holding numerous should as well.
Their horses also wore protective armoury as well.
"Captain..... it looks like we've finally entered their territory.
I think they might be around us." Said one of the armoured men on horseback.
"As expected." The Captain replied, while secretly looking at the trees, dried grass, leaves and the ground around them with discerning eyes.
The leaves had all fallen to the ground in preparation for the winter, so it would be hellish for these men to hide on the trees.
Indeed, he could already spot some novice archers who had already failed at properly hiding behind the trees, rocks and even using their surroundings properly.
Soon, he saw some of the heaps of grass move a bit..... and instantly, he knew that it was time to give out his signal.
With that, he then yelled out loudly... and Jo's men ride forward at high speeds while shielding themselves as much as they could.
And just as planned, as they ran..... a rain of arrows followed them wherever they went.
'Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!'
The enemy archers who were previously hidden, all stood out and shot several arrows towards the Captain and his team of 200.
These enemy archers were so concentrated on the group, that many of them didn't notice another group of men silently targeting them from afar.
And before they knew it, many of them had been shot dead on the head or heart just like that.
Of course, some of them hid just in time to avoid the calamity.
'Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!'
Yup!
The first group of 200, were just a decoy so that the archers could take down the enemy archers that were hiding along the path.
.
"Ahhhhh!"
The entire path was filled with dreadful cries from those that had been hit straight in their hearts.
They felt like the world around them was constantly spinning around in circles.
And some, they all their senses and fell into a never-ending deep slumber.
'Bamm!'
Their lean bodies dropped to the ground uncontrollably with several loud bangs
And as they lost their consciousness, they still couldn't believe that they had been shot down out of nowhere.
After so many months of preparations, why did they have to die just like that?
They were indeed undersigned to their faiths..... as they bled out to death unconvinced.
As for those who had shit them down, they couldn't care less about the feelings of these men.
"Keep shooting!
Second team, it's your turn." Said another Captain, who was currently shooting several arrows towards his targets.
The man was a pro, as he could even shoot up to 3 arrows at once with such accuracy.
He was nicknamed 'straight shooter'..... because he never missed his mark, not even once.
The man was another legend in Arcadina, but no one knew what he looked like too.
Hearing the order that had been given out, another team of 3000 armoured knights quickly made their way towards the path.... so as to deal with all hidden archers who managed to survive.
Of course, this same attack pattern was repeated by these intruders on all paths leading to the secret base.
And just like that, the path had been cleared.
.
The intruder knights then followed the path stealthily, until they finally came across a massive circular bed of thorny roses.
"Master!" Everyone said, while quickly going done on bended knee when they saw their masked master walk out from one of the paths.
Mr. Death looked at the thorny field and bent down to smell it.
He took a whiff, before gently getting up again.
As expected.
Some of the roses were poisonous, while others weren't.
"Clear a straight path to the center.
And remember, you can only touch the blue roses."
"Yes, master."
A few minutes later, everything was set, and the men slowly advanced to the center.
Mr. Death smiled while leading the men forward.
Hehehe..... soon, he would get to play with his new toy.
