Chapter 1501 Ready For Action

Mushu inwardly sneered, thinking of why he allowed these enemies of his into his fortress.

How stupid do you think he was?

He Mushu had 2 Fortresses scared about the Capitals perimeters.

This fortress wasnt even his main one. His real fortress was far bigger and more secure than this one.

Thats right. He allowed them to see this site to make them focus on it. And during the time leading to the killing period, he would keep drawing their attention to this fortress.

What can kill a man is being too sure and too confident.

He planned to get them here, surround this place and kill them all during the killing period!

And with his acting, he had also made them believe the only reason he showed them was because he was forced to by the T.O.E.P.

After all, just like Camila, his mission involved putting Cletus on the throne

So what choice does he have?

Cletus was greatly pleased, being his victory so close.

Look! Arent these frenemies of his all bending to his wills now?

Hahajahha~

Monarch! Monarch!

Finally, his long-time dream would be fulfilled!

.

Duke Cletus, with all your men gathered, its time we rea.s.sess things for the big battle a day away. The same goes for you both.

Mmmm

Everyone had stern expressions.

Though they already knew victory was there, one still had to be careful, especially with Gregorys dogs (ministers) running about vigilantly.

Over the past few months, my men have been arriving in batches, little by little. And now, we have 21,289 men in total.

Hmmm And what about you, d.u.c.h.ess Camila? I take it you have hidden forces too, no?

Camila swallowed hard but still maintained her charming smile, not adding to lie about the matter.

Its likely that these masked men already knew the true answer but were mainly testing her.

So how dare she play a fast one on them?

She had a fortress a little bit further away from the Capitals perimeters. Her fortress could be said to be close to another town further east of the Capital.

Camilas throat was dry from the shock of how powerful Morgany was to know every little thing about everyone.

Did they have eyes on the trees, walls, and the grounds? How can they always know everything, even her deepest darkest secrets?

Camila had a momentary s.h.i.+ver the more she thought about it.

Thankfully, she was on their team. Anyone who dared to go against them was looking for suicide!!

.

Camille forced a stiff smile, gripping her armrest tightly. Yet, her smile was as graceful as a stagnant lily floating on a pond.

My lords, you are indeed correct. This one does have a fortress all to herself, not belonging to her husband or children But, I dont know what orders my lords have for me?

One of the masked men chuckled, waving his hand casually. The beautiful Camila needs not worry much. Compared to everyone else, you were only informed no more than 4 days ago. Everyone had months to prepare but you. So how can we not be fair toward one of our own?

My lords, you mean

You will indeed contribute to tge battle, but we just need no more than 2/10th of those already residing in your fortress. This group will serve to do specific tasks within the Royal Capital to facilitate our a.s.sa.s.sination.

Wonderful!

Camilas smile became genuine.

Good. Good.

They wont be using all her men.

Whats more, she also had many fortresses scared about the empire?

But since they had only just informed her, it would indeed be unfair to request for all her men in the nearby fortress to match out.

Even she didnt want to.

After all, no matter how vigorous they would emerge, they would still fight a b.l.o.o.d.y battle with Gregorys dogs. All arrows, be they stray or not, will eventually take out some of her men. Swords, spears, and other weapons would have been detrimental in this b.l.o.o.d.y battle.

She didnt care much about them dying or not. She could always kidnap some more men or hire them. Though training them with resources wouldnt be difficult, it would take time to build them up to a formidable group. At least now that she had the chance of sending her men to Morgany for training.

Bah!

Camilas main issue was that she didnt want to use her forces for Cletuss sake.

F***!

Why must her powers work for Cletus benefit?

Hmph!

Think beautifully!

.

The words from the lords made Camila visibly relax in her seat.

The Lords didnt ask about Mushus situation since they had long known all they should about his matters.

Now then, Duke Cletus, its best to remind you that we are only here to a.s.sist you. The deal was for us to a.s.sa.s.sinate Gregory and aid you in sitting on the throne. But that doesnt mean you wont be handling most of the work.

Cletus suddenly felt nervous.

Duke Cletus, you need not feel anxious. We will still a.s.sa.s.sinate his highest Gregory and the few ministers too. And though Lord Mushu and Lady Camila and a few others will aid you, the majority of work will fall on your shoulders.

The men left things on that note.

If this guy couldnt even control the many opposing n.o.bles and forces in the Capital to abide by his orders, why bother thinking of the throne?

With Gregory dead, the throne would be open for anyone to grab. So if another contender (a person not belonging to the T.O.E.P) arose and took the seat even after all theyve done, then this guy was really useless!

Back in Alec Barns day, they also aided him, still leaving all the work for him to fight against.

The real go they gave was the impeccable information they had gathered.

And just like Alecs time, they had gathered everything about Gregory for Duke Cletus.

He had the schedule for every single thing Gregory would do on the coronation day.

He also knew about the many ministers plans and how many knights would get stationed everywhere.

So only trash would not be able to win in such an advantageous scenario.

.

Like so, the enemy forces gathered to iron things out, while the many air force units collected all they could.

Time seemed to play a quick game on many.

And in no time, the morning had come.

Landon tightened his grip on his weapon.

Today would determine their outcome for tomorrow!!
