<h4>Chapter 770 - Shai''s Dispair</h4>
’sh! sh! sh! sh!’
(XoX)
The massacre continued with everyone now believing that this bastard really had the ability to take on all 301 of them without a hitch.
What was he? An Immortal?
Why was this sort of person working by Sirius’ side?
Shai gritted his teeth and hurriedly seized a bow and began shooting Landon like crazy.
Whether his men were hit or not, he didn’t care.
What was important was dealing with this dangerous fellow?
This sort of person could be a big problem for the temple now that he was by Sirius’ side.
Such a person who could take out so many people on his own without a scratch was like a walking army.
No one he knew had this capability.
Not even Yodan’s number 1 assassin could do this one on one.
So it’s clear that this mysterious guy might be in charge of Sirius’ hidden forces.
That’s why he had to get rid of him now.
Shai knew very well what was at stake if he let any one of these men escape tonight.
One should know that the temple nned to take care of Sirius now, before slowly dealing with Maine and the other powerful nobles in oppositionter on.
They nned topletely control Yodan by June of next year.
And they nned to do all this with the element of surprise.
So letting Sirius or any of his men escape would only push their ns even further.
Of course, they hadplete assurance that they would eventually take over Yodan.
But without the element of surprise, that could take more time or years.
Maine would definitely fight with all he had if he learnt that they were the ones who killed Sirius.
.
As of now, even though Maine knew of the temple’s existence, he had never suspected them of any mutiny.
Firstly, the temple had existed for hundreds of years, just like the noble ns.
And through their history, even though they were powerful and mysterious, they had never been against the Royals.
In fact, some 400 years ago, they helped defend Yodan from a massive fleet of sea pirates that had joint forces with each other, wanting Yodan as a new pirate empire for all pirates.
The temple had mysteriously handled this, and even though the royals at the time were skeptical and on guard against them, nothing ever happened for the next 400 years.
So the royals had always concluded that the temple just wanted to peacefully live alongside them.
But of course, they were wrong.
All that time, the temple was still very weak, even though it gave off a mysterious powerful vibe.
They were slowly spreading their influence throughout Yodan and had even branched out to Deiferus.
The temple had always fought battles that they were sure to win.
If the odds weren’t on their side by at least 90%, then they would never engage in anything and justy in wait patiently.
They never gambled, as everything they did was a sess.
Their will and beliefs had been passed on from generation to generation with only one goal in mind.
And now they were finally ready to make their move with everything that they had.
.
Anyway, Maine never doubted this mysterious temple because they had never made any attempts on the throne.
Secondly, this temple constantly received a ton of money yearly in the name of the empire.
Maine and all the rulers before him did so because they always felt that tge temple was stronger than them.
From history, the temple had constantly dealt with threatening situations that even they couldn’t do.
So didn’t this mean that the temple had more forces than them?
Unbeknownst to them, all hose issues were actually started up by the temple in hopes of cementing their image.
All these problems were swiftly and mysteriously dealt with, which led the royals to fear and respect the temple even more.
So they started paying out protection fees.
And the temple used this money to expand and grow even further.
Everything went ording to their ns.
That said, they had made the royals who knew of their existence to believe that they wouldn’t go against them.
At first, one might keep their guard up, but after 200 years, 400 years and even 600 years, the royals had dropped their guards down as the years went by, since they were convinced that the temple just wanted to live peacefully.
For sure, there were over 10 reasons why Maine wouldn’t suspect them.
So they had the full advantage of attacking him by surprise.
Now, if someone escaped and alerted Maine, then all hell wouldn’t lose.
Their ns for conquering Yodan would be pushed back, and a full-scale battle willmence.
And that’s why they wanted to avoid because what if another empire or major force decides to help Maine?
The gamey would now be changed, lowing their chance of sess.
That’s why surprise attacks were the best strategic way to go.
So tonight, they must kill everyone.
No one could escape!
.
’Thup! Thup! Thup! Thup!’
"F***!
Why can’t any of you justnd one hit on him?
Why are you all taking my arrows instead?
Are you stupid?
Open your eye morons!"
’Thup! Thup! Thup! Thup!’
Shai crazily shot Landon several times, but none managed to hit him.
Instead, they pierced through the bodies of his men.
’Uahhh!’
One by one, they fell, leaving Shai in a mess.
"Die!
Why won’t you just die?
Stand still if you are a real man!!"
Landon smoothly dodged all sword attacks and iing arrows while killing his enemies too.
And soon, the group of 300 men dwindled to just 10 men in the space of 5 minutes.
Every move Landon did was a kill move, and coupled with the raining arrows, the group of 300 died down quickly.
’sh! sh! sh! sh!’
Shai almost had a heart attack just from looking at the scene.
Why won’t this son of a b**ch die?
Seeing that only 2 men were now fighting Landon, Shai silently dropped his now and stealthily advanced towards them.
This was his chance.
This bastard had to die!
