------- Riverdale City------

"So, your saying that you personally saw Tim Mayers leave with a wagon filled with thousands of pickaxes? And he didn't tell you why he needed them?" City lord Shannon asked with a cold and intimidating voice,

"Y,,,y,,yes city lord,,,, w,, we saw him," said one of the young men kneeling on the ground fearfully,

" W,,we don't know why he nee,,,needed them my lord,,," Another one said,

Shannon Lurp drummed his fingers against the table and carefully observed their reactions,

'druum druum druum' his fingers drummed,

'It doesn't look like their lying', he thought while sizing them up,

The 4 poor men were shivering under his ice cold gaze, They dare not meet his gaze, Everyone knew that their city lord was a tyrant, He killed when he felt like it, In their opinion, it was best not to anger this maniac,

It's just that they couldn't understand what they had done to wanton the city lords attitude towards them,

3 of them were just common welders while the other, was also just an ordinary merchant, They didn't even know Tim Mayers well enough,,,So why were they treated like this?

'Was he a criminal? Was he wanted in the empire? Did they accidentally sell goods to a fugitive? Is that why they were here?' they asked themselves worriedly,

"You all can leave,,,, And,,,,, keep this conversation confidential,,, I don't need to remind you all of what I will do to you if this conversation gets out, Do I?"

"My lord, I swear on my life that I will never tell another soul,,,," replied one

"I swear too my lord" the other 3 said hurriedly,

"Go!!!" Shannon Lurp yelled,

They shivered as they stood up and immediately walked away as fast as they could, In their minds, they had just come out of hell,,,

They made up their minds that if they saw Tim Mayers again, they would stay as far as possible from him,

Once they left, a man came out of the shadows and sat beside Shannon Lurp,

"He knows" The man said,

This man was Baron Rogers who used to live in Baymard before Landon took over,

Baron Rogers was sent, 4 citys away from Baymard by king Barn, He was sent to the flourishing city of Prisdon,

As soon as he arrived, he realized that his stay there, would be far much worse than when he was at Baymard,

Prisdon was a moderately sized city with over 15 Barons and 1 city lord who controlled and distributed funds for all the nobles,

Part of the money he received from the Capital as a Baron, was cut away by the city lord of Prisdon, Apparently, he was not the only one,

The city lord of Prisdon requested for the nobles to give him 10% of their monthly wages given by the empire,

But Baron Rogers needed the money more, so he couldn'ta accept it,

He requested for his money to be returned back to him, but the city lord never even gave him a glance, 'What an jackass' he thought,

He looked at Baron Rogers as if, looking at a foolish child who didnt know what was good for him,

Baron Rogers was almost angered to death,,,, For pitsake, he needed more money to take care of his knights and keep his household in check,

Back in Baymard, although the land was barren, the money he got from selling those ores was at least 4 times greater, than what he received in Prisdon as his monthly upkeep,

The worse part was, ever since his fight with the city lord, everyone isolated him,

Some barons constantly tried to pick fights with him and even tried seizing part of the money as well,

They even tried to buy his knights over, promising to give them more money than what he offered, How could he take this kind of insult as a man and as a Baron?

Living in Baymard for all those years, he had truly forgotten how nasty and horrible nobles and people in power could be,

His wife and children, who use to be to high up ( they were the one's who bullied and beat up the maids and citizens of Baymard), were now mocked and picked on, by the other nobles,

His sons had been constantly bullied in the Knighthood academy of Prisdon, and his wife constantly mocked because she didn't have the latest fashionable clothes, He felt really low as a man,

Hence he needed money fast, so as to secure his position in Prisdon,

Once he thought about the mines in Baymard, he started thinking about Landon's death,

For him, even if all the citizens of Baymard had to die for Landon to do die as well, he wouldn't give a damn,,,, all he wanted was the money,

He couldn't just move his knights, who were 4 towns away, to come over and fight Landon and his 300 knights, everyone in the empire would be suspicious, Especially King Barn and that annoying city lord of Prisdon,

That's why he had told and made a deal with city lord Shannon about the mines and the land,

Since Baymard was very close to Riverdale city, city lord Shannon accepted the deal, For him, it was a great way to expand his territory and while making more money at the side,

Because Baron Rogers had to do it discreetly, he decided to leave Prisdon on the excuse of visiting an old friend,

If word got out that he was interested in going to Baymard, people would start wondering if there was any special treasure there in Baymard,

From there on, they would launch a full scale investigation on Baymard,

If they truly discovered the mines, he was sure that king Barn would surely execute him immediately,(--Off with his head!!)

As for Shannon Lurp, he had no intention of informing the king as well, Afterall, he too wanted the money made from the mines,,,

Once and if, king Barn found out about the mines, no one would benefit from it other than King Barn himself,

So they decided to find an opportunity to discretely deal with Landon without raising any suspicions,

If they Suddenly attacked Landon, people would want to know their motives, This would definitely bring the kings attention on them, So for now, they decided to play it safe,

"It doesn't matter whether he knows about the mines or not,,,, We'll assassinate him,,,,, Assassination is the only way to get rid of him without raising any suspicions," Shannon Lurp said,

"I agree,,, but, If we're going to do it, we need to get 1 of the top 5 assassins in the empire,,,,, I think 'Dumbo the Butcher' would be the best candidate for the job," said Baron Rogers,

"Not a bad choice, afterall he's the closest one around presently,,,, I reckon if we send a letter now, he would arrive here in a month and a half,"

"WlThen, what do we do till then?" Baron Rogers asked anxiously,

"We wait,,,,, remember,,, right now, the capital is in an uproar,,, If we pull attention to ourselves, the other Prince's would surely seek us out,,,,, Waiting is the only option," Shannon Lurp replied, while sipping on a cup of wine,

Baron Rogers thought that what Shannon Lurp said made sense, The fight for power within the royal family was a well known fact to all the nobles in the empire,

As nobles, they had the option to side with any of the prince's in the empire,

But if the prince they choose, doesn't win in the fight for the throne, it mean't that their days where numbered, Or they would be hated and treated as trash by the ruling king,

It was a tough call for most nobles,

"Who do you think would win the fight for the throne?" Baron Rogers asked,

Shannon Lurp leaned on his chair and looked up to the ceiling, He seemed to have fallen in a deep trance,

The royal Barn family,

I'm the King Of Technology

------White Wood City------

Eli stood at his castle balcony, watching as his little brother's: Connor and James, got off their carriages,

'So they finally came', he thought,

"Zarius, where is Princess Janette?"

"My lord, she is currently within the castle garden,"

"Inform her about the arrival of my dear brothers," Eli said,

Infact 3 days ago, his younger sister: Jennette, also arrived at his castle, She had claimed that she missed him and wanted to spend more time with him,

When she had arrived, Eli could see a trace of disappointment and dissatisfaction in her eyes,

Knowing that the assassination attempt had failed, how could Jennette not be angry?

A month ago, when her brothers said that they would assassinate Eli, she was extremely happy and didn't wait to confirm if the assassination attempt would fail or not, Afterall, they had hired the "Golden Lotus" assassins who had a success rate of about 98% in all their missions,

Instead Janette wrote to Eli, saying that she would visit him soon, Her thinking was simple,

If he was still alive by by the time she got there, she would claim that she missed him dearly and wanted to spend more time with him,,, But if he was dead,,,,,hehehe

After delivering the letter, she got on her carriage 2 days later and headed to White Wood City, In her mind, Eli was already a dead man, She even started practicing her performance for his death in her head,

She could already see herself kneeling over his grave while shedding fake tears and screaming,

'Brother Eli,,,,,why did you have to go?,,,,(sob sob),,, why didn't I die in your place? No!,, I,, I won't allow this?,,, Let me go with you,,,, I want to be with you brother Eli,,,,,(sob sob)',

After that, she had also imagined how people would beg her not to take her life and live longer,,,In her mind, her performance had to be flawless, so she kept practicing in the carriage,

Since it would take a month from the Capital to White Wood, she calculated that her arrival would be faster than that of her little brothers Connor and James,,,,

This was good,,, Afterall, she too thought of killing their father, So she urgently needed more knights, and funds as well,

She had planned to arrive early and secretly disguise the knights as slaves, Then, she would lead them back to the capital, and into her territory, For her, there was no need looking for another base,

If her father realised that the 5000 knights he gave her, had left the Capital, he would be suspicious, So she could only secretly gather more forces in the capital,

Even though her father had a lot of spies, she thought she could outdo him and secretly bring these men under his nose, (--- stupid girl)

Why couldn't a woman rule a kingdom? Ever since she was a little girl, she had dreamed of being the fist ever queen to rule the empire,

She wanted to make history, but that old foggy father of hers wouldn't even bulge, He was so hell bent on her older brother Eli as ruler of Arcadina,

Wasn't she smart? wasn't she talented?,,,,,So what was wrong in her being ruler? This was not fair, she thought,

Her plan was to wait for all her brothers to kill each other, then, she would assassinate the last man standing,

On her way, she didn't want to contact her other brothers, for fear that the assassination plan would be leaked,

Little did she know that, they too didn't contact her when the assassination attempt failed, because they wanted to tell her in person to avoid other people from finding out about their schemes,

If they're father knew that they had tried to kill the CROWN prince, he would decrease their funds and take away half of their armies,

So, imagine her suprise when he she sees Eli receiving her when she arrives at White Wood city, Do you know how many days she spent planning that fake crying scene? tsk,

She immediately pretended to have missed him and asked him about everything that happened in white wood city,

Eli told her that someone tried to assassinate him, but he doesn't know who it was,

As she heard him say that, her eyes lit up and she smiled,,,,

'So, he doesn't know?' she asked herself as she looked at his facial expression,

Janette had spend these 3 days gathering information,

Apparently, the assassins killed themselves in front of everyone, before they Eli had the chance to catch them, And only 1 escaped,

After constantly digging information from the maids, common folks and every other person she could think of, Janette decided to believe Eli, as all the proof showed that he really didn't know anything else,

Eli went down the castle, to welcome his beloved brothers who also missed him dearly,,,,apparently,

At the site of Eli, both Connor and James smiled widely, If one didn't know any better, they would think that these brothers actually loved Eli,

Eli smiled as well and received them with a hug,

"Little brothers, welcome to White Wood,,,,, how have you guys been? How come you only write to your elder brother once in a year? Dont you miss me?" He said why pouting,

"Elder brother, that's not it,,, you know that we have to take care of our territories as well,,, How could you say that we don't care about you?" Connor said while hugging Eli tightly,

"Elder brother, I dont know how you do it,,,, but for me, running my territory is so hectic, I have to run up and down all day, Of course we miss you,,,,, (sigh),,,, It's just that there's too much work in my territory right now, so of course I didn't have time to write to you," James said while hugging Eli too,

Three trio spoke while making their way into the castle, As they arrived Connor and James were shocked,

"What is she doing here? Was she the one that leaked information about the assassins to Eli?" they thought,

But they quickly dispelled those thoughts after they found out that she had also arrived 3 days before,

Once everyone was settled in their rooms, Eli went to his office with Zarius his head knight,

He walked towards his bookcase and Zarius pushed it open,

"Vrrruuumm"

There was a staircase, leading to a secret room,

Zarius lit a torch and walked down the staircase with Eli,

At the bottom, there were torture devices hanging on the walls and tables, And at the end of the room, there were 3 cells that held 2 chained up men in them, While the other cell, had a man who was treated as a king,

Eli walked passed the first two cells and finally arrived at the last one,

"Old friend, have you enjoyed your stay at White Wood castle?"

The man looked at Eli and smiled,

I'm the King Of Technology

A man laid on a black beautifully crafted couch,

In front of him were different foods and fruits all lined up in well crafted wooden bowls, as well as a jug of wine to quench his thirst,

The man was also the same age as Eli, He had dark red hair, thick manly eyebrows and light green eyes that looked like that of a cat,

The man in the cage, was called Slytherin Cord,

He was one of the top intelligence personnels in the empire,,,, What ever you wanted to know, he would get the information for you,,, His results were always 97% accurate,

Because his siblings had arrived, Eli didn't want to risk them finding out about his involvement with Slytherin Cord,

Although they wouldn't be able to recognize him, one should always prevent unnecessary situations from arising,

One year ago, Eli received shocking news about his father, In all honesty, he thought the nan was an arrogant pig,

His father had another bastard son other than Landon, and this bastard son was older than Eli by a year,

The bastard went by the name the 'the ghostly prince',

His whereabouts were a mystery to those that try to find him, He always wore a giant silver ring on his thumb, as well as a silver metal face mask no matter where he went,

It was only a struck of luck that Slytherin found out about him,

Slytherin was passing through the city of Ganjia and decided to lay low for a while since he was on a mission at the time,

He saw the metal faced masked man by a stroke of luck and was curious,

After doing investigations for 5 months he was disappointed, This man had a tight network around him,

Slytherin then decided to kidnap one of the man's lower ranked knights and tortured him, Although the knight didn't know much, what he did know was still astonishing,

This man had been building his army for the past 4 years now, No one knows his base, Not even the knights, Apparently, he keeps knights at different cities and makes them blend in, by letting them work with the city lords and barons,,,, So basically, the knights worked as double agents,

Even the king, City Lords and Barons didn't know about his existence,

From Slytherins view, the Ghostly king was a dangerous one, All the men Slytherin sent to locate him, turned up dead,

'This man was a ghost alright' thought Slytherin,

Ever since Eli had received this piece of news,,,, he had been planning on killing his father and sitting on the throne fast,

Small fries like his royal siblings didn't bother him at all,,,but this ghostly king,,,,this one was a hard but to crack,,,,

Eli didn't know what the Ghostly king was planning,,, and neither he did he want to find out,

His father had to die fast, before other bastard children pop out again to claim his throne,

------

"Did you finally locate his whereabouts?"

"Not yet, I think he knows that someone is trying to track him down, My next operation might be a setup,,,,, it's too risky," Slytherin answered,

"Your right,,,, lay low for a while before you begin again,"

"As you wish, crown prince,,,,oh that reminds me,,,, there's turmoil in the capital, The left minister has rallied up a lot of nobles to support Prince Connor as the crown prince,"

"Hmm for my brother to make this move, it shows that he is confident about his strength,

"What about the Right minister?"

"Recently, our spies have also reported that he had successfully been bribed to side with Prince James for the position of the crown prince,,, although your the crown prince, your brothers are more popular in the capital than you are," Slytherin answered while crunching on an apple,

"That's a given, afterall, they took advantage of my absence and worked their way up,"

"I also heard that prince James and Prince Connor had been giving out money to a lot to the peasants in Hope's of gaining their support,"

"Hahahaa ,,, what a desperate move to make,,, at the end of the day, the one who decides who becomes king and who doesn't, is still my father", Eli responded,

"True,,, I also thought it was stupid,,, From what I can see, your real competition is the Ghostly king,,,,, That man would be a hard wall to crack, ,,,Even your father doesn't know of his existence,"

"I know, that's why I need to gather enough forces fast,"

"What about your royal siblings and all the disturbances their causing in the Capital?"

"Why bother over something like this? What does it matter anyway, Soon they'll all be dead,"

"And your bastard brother Landon? ,,Do you want me to find out about his situation?" Slytherin asked,

"No no no,,, that would be a waste of your skills and time,,,,, What can a dying man do? Besides Baymard is a 3 month journey from here,,,, "

Slytherin listened and thought that what Eli said made sense, Afterall, Slytherin had personally witnessed Landon being poisoned at his 15th birthday feast,

Eli had sent him there to make sure that his knights did a good job of poisoning Landon, So he had observed from the shadows,

He had also continued observing Landon within the 2 day period before his departure to Baymard,

Landon's complexion had changed to a pale blue-ish color within those two days, Even getting him unto the carriage required help from his knights,

Anyone who saw this would know that Landon was already a dead man, There was no cure for that poison, Only death awaited him,

"Besides,,,,, I need you around here, I need you to keep tabs on Connar, James and Janette, Find out about their every move, ,,, I want to know, where they go, who they see and what they're doing daily,,,, don't worry about that bastard Landon,,,,, Soon I will take his land from him,, He is but the least of my worries right now", Eli continued,

"Not a problem,,,,, I'll send my men to secretly follow them on their way back to their territories,"

"As for the ghostly king, make sure no one finds out anything about him,,,, not even my father, It would be better if his existence remained a secret,,, And if anyone is curious about his background, Come up with any story you want,,,, but never mention the fact that he is the king's son",

"As you wish, crown prince" Slytherin replied,

"Good,,,,Soon, I will take care of him as well, By then, I would like to see just how powerful this brother of mine really is,"

I'm the King Of Technology

Within a week and a half, Landon had successfully produced 12 cannons within the Construction industry and 56 large sacks of gunpowder in the Alchemy estate,

To ensure that the gunpowder had a superb Combustion ability, Landon had gone through several processes to ensure that the gunpowder particles were all finely crushed powders with uniform particle sizes,

At the same time, Landon had also recruited 150 knights into the army within this past week and a half,

Landon wasn't worried about the slow production rate of cannons and the number of knights he had, because he knew that, in another 1 and a half weeks more, slaves and refugees would be arriving Baymard from Santa,

Today, Landon positioned 8 of those cannons on the city walls and decided that the remaining 4 cannons should be brought to the barracks headquarters in the upper region,

Behind the barracks was an empty field that led to a dense forest, From the high walls on the Baracks, one could see the dense forest that went on for about 80 square miles leading to a tall volcanic mountain,

From what he had heard, the mountain has not had an eruption for at least 10,000 years and is not expected to erupt again in a comparable time scale of the future, So this was an extinct volcanic mountain,

It was the perfect place for the knights to practice cannon firing in future,

For today, he chose to test 1 of the 4 cannons from the barracks and had 2 knights drag the cannon unto the empty field,

Both knights and workers wanted to see, as well as his mom, Lucy, little Momo and Grace, so he allowed them to come, But not all the knights of course (-- Who's going to guard the city walls in the central region?)

Many of the workers were curious as to what they had been making, They had been creating this weapon for quite some time now and didn't fully understand what it could do,

But for Tim Mayers and chief Wiggins and the various supervisors in the industries, they understand exactly what would be happening today, Based on the chemical reactions and production processes, they knew that this weapon would have a great explosive factor,

Everyone's heart was pounding as they crowded on the city walls, waiting to witness history,

Landon also had some workers create 7 strong circlular wooden fences with rope and wood, 3 feet away from each other, Then, he had his knights place 7 wild boars in each circular fence,

He assigned a gunner and crew needed for operating a single cannon, and instructed Lucius and the knights on how to operate the cannon,

Cannon operation required a specialized crew and a gunner to run it smoothly,

Each cannon was to be manned by 4 soldiers and a gunner, The gunner was in charge of loading the gunpowder, while 1 soldier was in charge of providing cartilage by igniting the canon, The 3 other soldiers were in charge of ramming and sponging the cannon, as well as holding the ladle,

Also, each cannon could fire about 60-75 shots (cartilage) daily,

After properly explaining to his knights, they followed instructions and pointed the cannon at a projected angle towards the fourth (middle) animal fence,

"My lord, we are prepared", Major General Gary said,

"Good,,,now,,, FIRE!!"

One of the soldiers ignited the cannon, Sludge and smoke fired out from the canon, and instantly:

'Boom'

The ground shook slightly and everyone felt sounds echoing loudly in their ears, It was truly deafening,

Everyone was shocked silly,

This,,,, What kind of weapon was this? The results exceeded everyone's expectations,

Lucius' eyeballs nearly popped out of his eyes as he looked at the results,,, Then, he started remembering the days where he used to fight for territories along the borders,

The Pyno continent looked exactly like that of North America back on earth,

You could say that Arcadina was like Canada and Alaska combined, with Baymard located at the topmost part of Alaska,

The empire of Deiferus and the empire of Yodan both shared borders with Arcadina and could be considered as the United states and Mexico combined,

From the East of empire of Arcadina, a lot of cities trailed towards an extremely large Island close to Baymard (--- similar to how Mexico trails into the continent of South America back on earth,,, only this happens from Alaska in canada)

This massive Island is empire of Carona,

Likewise, from the west of the empire of Arcadina, a lot of countries trail towards an even bigger island, This is the empire of Terique,

Acadina and Deiferus have always been in conflict with each other,,,,This conflict led to a large scale war 200 years ago,

The main issue was that, the Deiferus soldiers would sometimes conquer major cities along the Arcadina borders, brutally killing the people and soldiers stationed there, Once city's along the borders are conquered, the overall size of the empire would be reduced,

If this continued, then sooner or later, they won't just be contented with cities at the borders,

Hence in the past, Lucius had always been sent to the borders to fight and kill the Deiferus soldiers,

Although all the leaders of each empire signed peace treaties with each other hundreds of years ago, humans were always greedy beings who want more than what they had, And since Arcadina was the biggest empire in Pyno, they didn't mind, taking some of it's cities,

Once new rulers ascended the throne, they always looked for more power and cities to conquer, so the treaty wasn't always applied,

Even till this day, there are always wars around the borders,

If Lucius had this kind of weapon, then most of his friends wouldn't have died in the battles,

He had been involved in intense battles that went on for 12 days straight, with each side sending backup every single day, He had even seen his friends being cut down before his eyes, Although they had succeeded in keeping their border cities, Lucius felt that there was nothing to be happy about,

As Lucius looked at the cannon, although he was happy for the creation of this weapon, he felt sad at the thought of his lost friends,,, (sigh)

Landon walked around and checked the animals,

The one that was targeted was dead, as its face was blown away into smithereens, The other 4 around it also died from the shock wave impact,

The last 2 that were furthest away from the target, didn't die,,, But had their knees split open and blood gushing out of their ears,

'Excellent' Landon thought,

The knights had cold sweat on their backs seeing the damage it caused,,,, If they were faces with this kind of weapon, they would have no means or chance for survival,

Tim and chief Wiggins laughed and hugged each other like a bunch of 5 year old kids,

"Hahhaha,This is great, Marvelous ,, ,,Genius" Tim Mayers said excitedly,

"That basic chemistry book basically changes the game for Alchemy,,,,, hahahaha,,,,,what is matter? this is matter!! ,,,Ahhh his highness is a godly genius,,,, Old Tim, I'll buy you a drink today,,, " Chief Wiggins said while patting Tim Mayers back,

"Peiiiy!! no way,, I have to keep reading my basic Chemistry book,,, I want to see and create more materials,,,, Did you know that even Iron itself has different temperatures for which it can be welded by? Damn,,there's even something called Enthalpy and entropy,,,, When we created Glass for the first time, I almost lost it,,,, Genius,, simply genius,,," Tim said

"Oh!! dont forget about air my friend,,,, what we are breathing has different elements in it,,,blah blah blah,,,,"

As the two men spoke, their apprentices looked at each other and smiled, Today they had witnessed history,

Although everyone was shocked silly, deep down, they knew that with this new weapon, Baymard would have a means of protecting itself,

They couldn't help but looked at his highness with awe,

'Godly genius'

I'm the King Of Technology

After cannon testing, Landon asked Lucius to ensure that the soldiers trained daily on how to use the cannons,

Every week, Lucius would be in charge of drawing a schedule that allowed everyone to train and prepare on how to use the cannons, Afterall, it was impossible for 330 soldiers Plus the added 150 recruits to practice daily,

So a schedule was the best way forward for these 480 men,

All in all, each soldier would have the opportunity to practice cannon firing at least 3 times a week, going from Lucius' drawn-up schedule,

Landon held his mothers hand with his left hand and Lucy's hand with his other hand, as they walked around the barracks,

"Brother Landon, why don't we go to the castle?" Lucy asked curiously,

"Little Landon, Im also curious as well,,,,arent we done? why aren't we going back home?" Mother Kim asked suspiciously,

Lucius and Landon looked at each other for second and quickly averted their gazes,

Something was fishy to both women, but they decided to brush it off,

As they continued to stroll, Landon kept looking at the blushing Lucy and smiled,

Mother Kim, as if feeling the weight of being a third wheel, held onto Lucius' arms, as well as Grace's arm and ushered them forward,

Too bad she didn't see the intense blush on Lucius' cheeks,,,, But Grace did,

Grace in turn rushed up ahead with little Momo leaving the royal couples behind, She had to get to the castle quickly,

Mother Kim felt awkward and blushed deeply, She looked at the handsome Lucious from the corner of her eyes, and was lost in thought for a while,

When she and her son were banished, Lucius resigned and decided to offer his services as a knight and protect them towards their journey to Baymard,

Kim had always known that Lucius took Landon as his son, and that Landon did the same with Lucius, She always thought it was natural and never thought anything about it,

But when she was at her lowest, this man had always stood up for her and guarded her against any dangers and troubles,

She didn't have any feelings for him before, because whether she liked it of not, she was king Barn's concubine at the time,

But when she was freed from her hell, she decided to live her life a new,

On the day they left the Capital, she started noticing how handsome and manly Lucius was, As time went by, she realized that all this while, she had been in love with Lucius,

She didn't even know when it started,,,,, was it when Lucius helped her take care of her son in the Capital? Or when he resigned to follow her to Baymard, She didn't know and she didn't care,

When he smiled at her, her world would stop and she would get confused and say the wrong things,

Plus, she wasn't sure if he felt the same way,,,, what if he didn't love her? Wouldn't she just be forcing her love onto him? What if she ruined her friendship with him because of love?,, She would never allow that to happen,, No way!

Lucius as if noticing her gaze, turned his head facing her,

"Your highness, should we go back to the castle now?" Lucius asked as he saw her flushed face,

As he spoke, her face turned redder and redder,,,,,Honestly, he thought that if her face got any redder, it would pop,

He chuckled inwardly and smiled,

"Y,,Yess let's do that,,,,uhmm a,,after you" she stammered,

Landon and Lucy who kept watching at the back almost couldn't hold it in, Was this the tiger mother that they knew? Who was this shy woman?

As soon as Lucius and Mother Kim disappeared from their view, they laughed out loud and almost fell over,

As they were laughing, Landon sneakily pecked Lucy's left cheek,

Now, it was her turn to blush, She placed her left hand on her cheek and pointed the other one at Landon,

"You!!!!,,,,,"

Landon took hold of her hands and smiled at her warmly,

"Is that all you have to say to me,,, my dear Fiance"

Lucy almost choked at his words,, Fiance? Since when? How come she wasn't aware of this?

She was blushing even more now, and quickly pulled her face away from his gaze,

"Ayyye,,,, Why are you hiding from me?,,,,,"

"Brother Landon why are you teasing me like this?,,,I,, I,," Lucy stammered as she spoke,

"Come with me"

------------

Landon covered her face with a thick piece of cloth and led Lucy up the staircase off the castle, They moved for a while slowly, until they reached the throne room,

Once Landon dropped the cloth, Lucy was shocked,

There were a lot of people in front of her, candles sorrounding her and a lot of flower petals sprinkled all over the throne room arranged in a special way,

[Will you Marry me Lucy]

was spelled out by the flower petals,

Lucy turned around to look at Landon and was shocked,

He was on bended knees,

Was a king suppose to kneel to anyone? she asked herself worriedly, But that thought quickly left her brain when Landon gave his speech,

["Lucy Gustav, we've known each ever since we were little, You've always been there for me through thick and thin,

When I was down, you stood up for me,,,,, when I needed someone to lean on, you were always there,

As time went by, I slowly fell in love with you, I love your smile, your caring nature and your heart,

Look, I guarantee that there'll be tough times, But no matter what troubles we face, I will fight for you and continue to love and cherish you,

I promise you that no one will work harder to make you happy more than I will,

Lucy, I want to marry you because when you love someone as much as I love you, getting married is the only thing left to do,

So what do you say, will you match me Lucy?"]

I'm the King Of Technology

Everyone including, the knights, the maids, Tim and Chief Wggins were shocked,

What did they just see? The King was kneeling down!!

Is this how marriage proposals are suppose to be made? This was the first time they had seen such a thing, Usually women didn't have a choice, Their parents chose a strong reliable husband who could take care of them and that was that,,,, sometimes they would be lucky if it was the man that they took loved, Marriage usually involves politics and power for most nobles,

But his highness bent down on one knee for his wife and even made such a grand gesture towards her,

The women on the other hand were all in the spirit of romance, Grace, mother Kim and the maids felt like this was what a man should be,

The men looked at the women and thought:

'Is this what women want?'

They had to admit that this was pretty romantic, The flowers, the candles, the ring, those words,,,,, It all made sense somehow, They were almost gave a big thumbs up to his highness for his idea,

From the moment Landon came into this world, he had noticed his uncontrollable feelings for Lucy, Whether it was because of the old Landon or the current him, his emotions were strong, Every time during dinner, supper,,,heck even breakfast, he would stare at her in a daze,

As the days went by, he also began to notice her feelings towards him, They're love was literally oozing out every time they met,

Of course he didn't want to marry her immediately,,,, they were just 15 years old, afterall,, But in this era, most girls got engaged at the age of 12 and married at 18 to 20,

Lucy being engaged now, was considered late in this era,

Also, Landon didn't want people to think that there was something wrong with her or that she only good enough to be a concubine or a whore,

No matter how times change, human beings were always the same, Back in earth, if a woman passed the age of 30 and never got married, everyone would point fingers at her, Even at age 26, people would still talk bad about them,

He had seen and noted all of Lucy's uncertainty, It was very clear that she had assumed that she would end up as a concubine, or worse just a side-chick,, bruhhh,,,,

He did this to reassure her that she would always be his queen,

In his mind, they would get married when they were old enough to do so, For now, he just wanted her to know that she belonged to him,

So within this period, he had asked Tim to create a ring made out of Iron with a tiny green jade stone on it,

Landon brought out the beautifully crafted ring and waited for her reply, while looking deep into her eyes,

Ever since he started talking she had been crying, Of course she loved him,,, it was so obvious for everyone one to see,

"Yes brother Landon,,, I,,I,,I'll be your wife," (sob sob)

Landon took her left hand an placed the ring on her middle finger,

"This ring is a symbol of my love as a man to you, It is also proof that you are my fiance, the one I love and the one I will marry,"

Landon got up and held her in his embrace,

"If you should willingly remove or give me back this ring, it would mean that you no longer want to marry me or have me as a husband,,,Keep my ring safe and cherish it as well" Landon said while looking at her warmly,

Everyone clapped and cheered for them,

Josh looked at Grace and smiled, Grace upon feeling someone's gaze on her, turned and locked gazes with Josh, who was standing directly behind her, She blushed and turned towards little Momo,

"Elder sister are you still sick? Why is your face so red?" Little Momo asked innocently upon seeing his sister's condition,

Josh chuckled, and Grace truly wished that the floor could open up and swallow her whole,

'How embarrassing ', she thought,

Even Grace felt like no one would ever marry her anymore, Her friends in the village were already engaged, while others married,

She didn't want to marry young or be promised to anyone, because she had to take care of little Momo,

But looking at Josh now, she started having hope that he would marry her as a concubine at least,

Lucius on the other hand, was extremely happy,

Landon had come to him last week and told him to man up and confess his feelings to his mother, Infact he himself had started to see the way she would always look at him, He was sure that she cared about him, Landon was right, What was he waiting for? Was it when he turned 50, that he would confess?

Hence he and Landon had worked out this whole scenario,

They need to find a moment where both mother Kim and Lucy would not be around the castle alot, as well as have classes, Today was that day,

They had been in cohorts with Grace, the knights, the maids and everyone else,

On his way to the castle, he had brought Kim to the gardens and confessed to her, He did it the way Landon taught him,, on bended knees, Heck he even rehearsed some other lines that Landon gave him,

Mother Kim was so shocked that she too burst out into tears, She accepted his love kissed him and ran away from him like a 5 year old girl, He quickly chased after her and brought her here,

The mighty Tiger became a small kitten in his embrace,

Lucius looked at Mother Kim's smiling face and whispered in her ears,

"When I propose to you, I will make you happier, Because I love you,"

As he said that, He slowly used his left hand and held her right hand tightly,

She looked at him and was stunned for a moment, Then she Suddenly smiled,

Their hearts were finally one,

----------

Landon climbed on his bed and thought about the day,

Even at dinner, Lucy would look at the ring and smile at it,

Even the way she waved, had changed, She started waving using the back of her hands like how Julia Robert's did in the Princess Diaries,

Himself, Grace, Lucius and the 3 Major General's were trying to hold back their laughter's every time she did it,

Women,,,, they were all the same no matter the era (sigh),

Landon smiled and looked his next mission,

[Cement Manufacturing]

I'm the King Of Technology

-"System, show me my stat and rewards-" Landon said as he lay on his bed,

-Host name: Landon Barn

-Age: 15

-Status: King of Baymard

-Level: Beginner (Still Level 1)

-Current Sitaution: Healthy

-Host also received 120 BP for the creation of glass,

-Originally, host had 82 DP and 50 BP

-But since host had previously used 71 DP points for buying space time capsules and concentration pills, your DP dropped down to 11 points,

(- Note: DP= development points, TP= technology points and BP= bonus points)

He looked at his mission status again and thought about how he should proceed in the future,

[

Mission: Build cement block houses for all Permanent residents in Baymard,

Sub-Mission: Since host has received 20 Godly food recipes and 5 spice making recipes, host needs to create new pallets and spices for your people,

Rewards:

•Full knowledge on the human Anatomy and beginner to intermediate knowledg in the medical field, So what if you can build a lot of warfare weapons? Host doesn't even have a single healer in your town,, Shame on you!,,,,

•Host will also be given 5 random medical techniques for treating patients,

•Lastly, host will also receive 350 development points (DP) and 2000 Technology points (TP),

Deadline: no specific time required

]

Landon sighed as he looked at his rewards towards his next mission, Where were was the outlay or mechanisms on guns?,,,

Honestly speaking, Landon majored in electrical engineering, and also did alot of hardware engineering as well,, he only knew how to develop and design electrical appliances,

It was unrealistic to think that just because he had come into a fantasy world, he would suddenly become a sage,,, bruh,,,

Yes, he was smart,,, but he only focused on electrical and hardware engineering, The rest of his time was focused on anime, manga and light novels,,

Although he had done military service for his country, that didn't mean that he would know how to create guns,,,,, He could quickly assemble some of them, but that was it,

Each weapon had it's own mechanism and important materials that needed to be used in order to successfully create them,

If it was anything involving phones, laptops, TV sets,,,, that,,,he could do,,, But to Suddenly tell him to create paper,,, (sigh) isn't that too much?

Who could honestly say that if they were put in his situation, they would know more than he did?

If a person knew everything, that meant that he/she would have had to study all engineering types, gone to law school, while being a doctor part-time and maybe even ran his/her own company as a boss, As well as teach on the weekends,,,,,

There are more than 200 industries on earth, If someone claimed to know everything, they were simply scammers,

Also, there was no electricity in this era, so even if he made a printer or photocopier, where would he plug it? And even if he needed a battery wouldn't he need time to create it?

Landon also realised another major problem that he was facing,

Although the system had given him knowledge on cement making, it hadn't given him knowledge on house designing and construction,

Landon wanted to build houses in a way that would take the future into account,

Soon he would put water pipes throughout the City, as well as other daily commodities, He had no idea where and how to place the pipes, All he knew about was how to place the cables and wires for electricity, Ge didn't even know how thick the various pipes should be,

Landon had decided that every house would have 2 floors: the ground floor and the top floor,

Each house would have a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, a parlor and 4 bedrooms at the top floor, It would also have a front and back yard, as well as a mailbox and a garage,

Oh yes,,,he was planning way ahead for when he would finally make cars, He also wanted to make the houses accessible to street roads, railways and bus stops,

All this depended on how the houses were built and positioned in the city,

He had noticed that all the houses were focused around the town square in the central region, There were almost no houses close to the upper regions or lower regions,

In future, all the schools would be located in the upper region, as well supermarkets, luxury hotels, malls and so on,

Landon knew that most people would eventually want to live close to the upper region,

Hence he decided to start building the houses in the part of central region, that was closest to the upper region,

Once the first houses were completed, he would start moving the citizens in to them in an orderly fashion,

Landon had a grand plan for Baymard, He decided to divide the upper region into 4 sections,

District A, would obviously host himself, the knights and the barracks,

District B, would host Fighter plane airforces and other airborne military weapons,

District C would host justice courts, the main public police offices, the Education Bureau, Government Policy Offices, all schools, banks and so on,,

District D would have, Luxury hotels, amusement parks, car stores, banks and so on,,,basically good entertainment,

Landon also decided to break the Central parts into 4 parts,

District E, would be the closest to the upper region housing all of the 1500 original citizens who had always stayed here,

District F, would follow after District E, It would host all the Regfugees and Slaves,

District G, would have all the regular hotels for visitors, as well as beautiful national parks, some banks, bars and so on,,,

District H would be closer to the entrance/exit having other police stations and offices that determine whether or not someone could go into the city, It also had offices that issues ID cards, other important outposts and so on,,

As for the lower region, it would also be divided into 4 parts,,,but it would still be completely filled with factories, be it toothpaste, soap, whatever Baymard needed,, Only those that worked there or had a tour pass, could enter the region,

The coastal part would also have 4 parts, All in all, there would be a large dock for visiting ships, another area that would focus on military submarines, as well as military ships,,

The possibilities were endless,

For now, Landon just had to focus on building cement houses,

The point to note was that, although there were 1500 people present in Baymard, there were only about 1000 houses here, People lived together as married couples, they had children and maybe even lived with their grandparents or parents,,

With 3,000 more people coming in, he could easily build the houses for 4,500 people fast,

Once he succeeded in providing housing for everyone, he would then start building high story buildings that would house future families and slaves who come into Baymard,

These houses would come have massive car parks and other amenities, Of course, those that come later would have to pay rent for those places,

For refugees and slaves who come in the future, he would give them a 4 months headstart before he started collecting the rents, He hoped that before the time was up, they would have already gotten jobs around Baymard,

The rents for these houses would be fairly cheap depending on the dust that they're built in,

Each District in the central region would have sky high buildings to rent, as well as normal villa houses for those who have made enough money to live lavishly,

Also, all districts, be it the upper or lower regions, would have at least 1 police station and 2 gas stations,

Landon thought about Baymard and sighed, The population was really too small for the land mass,

Take Toronto Canada for example, That city alone had 95,000 privately owned housing units, over 100 hotels, several schools, about 80 malls, several airports and other buildings,,,

Yet Toronto was smaller in land mass compared to Baymard,,,,, Was this some type of joke?

Driving from one part of Toronto to the other could take up to 10-30 minutes without traffic, so one could only imagine how huge Baymard really was,

The more Landon thought about the future, the more Landon realized how much knowledge he lacked and how he little the population of Baymard was,

But he wasn't really in a rush,,, Building his dream world, would take a lot of time and a lot of effort,

For now, he could buy knowledge on whatever he needed from the system,

-"System, can I buy knowledge on house designing and house construction? As well as all knowledge involving handgun mechanisms, paper making and water supply for buildings,-"

-"You can host, For the guns, would you like knowledge on the Single-Action revolver, Double-Action revolver or Semi-automatic Pistols?-", the system asked,

-"The Semi-automatic pistol would do-",

-"Host's first request will cost you either: 120 DP, 300 Technology Points points or 100 Bonus Points

The second request will cost host either: 100 DP, 250 TP or 80 BP

The third request will cost either: 80 DP, 100 TP or 20 BP,

And finally the fourth request will cost either: 130 DP, 380 TP or 110 BP-" the system asked,

-"Take out 120 BP points for the first request, 100 DP for the second request, 20 DP for the third request, and 130 DP for the final request,,, Also, show we my balance points again-",

-"Host's Overall Points: 11 DP, 1000 TP and 50 BP-",,, Does host want to receive these information now?-"

-"Yes-"

As Landon laid on his bed receiving the long string of information that he had just bought, he couldn't help but feel that, tomorrow would be a very hectic day,

I'm the King Of Technology

------Lower Region------

1 and a half weeks ago, when Landon first produced the first cannon and gunpowder sample, he had already completed his mission,

He needed tools that would aid in manufacturing cement, so he asked Tim to assign department 4 to the task,

Within the construction Industry, department 4 was in charge of building all equipments or tools needed by other departments or industries, Be it industry tanks, pumps, screwdrivers, or even hammers,,,,,they would do it all,

Landon asked them to create:

•2 large rotary Kilns:

•300 shovels

•40 wheelbarrow's (carriage wheels would be used instead of rubber)

•30 Iron buckets (since rubber wasnt invented yet)

•100 hoes and 50 manual spice grinders

But now that he had just got information on how to construct houses, he found that he was lacking a lot more tools,

"Tim, it has been a week and a half, since I asked you to make some tools for me,,,,how many equipments have you made so far?" Landon asked curiously,

"Your highness, with 50 people working on the tools, we already made all the shovels, as they were even easier to make than swords, The Iron buckets, hoes, spice grinders and the wheel barrow's were done as well,,, But we are only 2/3's done with the kilns",

"Excellent,,, good job Tim,,, Have 5 people continue working with the kilns,,, I just remembered that there are more tools that we would need before the end of the month, I appologise in advance about my negligence on the matter", Landon said sincerely,

The things he needed were too many to be made before the end of the month, there was only 1 week and 4 days left, before the slaves would arrive, This would definitely put pressure on them,

Tim looked at Landon's pained expression and immediately understood what he was thinking about, It was rare for rulers to be this considerate towards their subjects, Tim smiled,

"Your highness,,, no need to appologise, we would all be honored to do whatever job you request of us, Your only human your highness, it's normal for you to forget sometimes", Tim replied,

"Thank you Tim,,, But you know, your words make me more guilty,,, hihihihi,,,"

Tim smiled and chucked as well,

"Dont worry your highness we won't hold it against you",

"Alright,,, I'll bear that in mind,,,,,Here's what I need,,,,blah blah,,,,"

Landon explained and drew diagrams on parchment papers, on how each equipment would look like,

He needed:

•2 large manual cement mixing machines

•2 large manual making cement block machines

•40 Wall screeds

•40 floor screeds,

•40 two-man saws

•40 mini wood scroll saws

•40 hand Rip saws Hand saws

•100 Thick wooden measuring rulers and 1000 well cut plank boards of different sizes,

•1000 nails, 50 door knobs with keys, 100 door hinges 50 paint rollers

•4000 reinforcing steel bars (rebar) and 200 long steel tying wires (rebar wires) to join the bars together,

"With the exception of the 5 who will work in making the kiln, the are 45 workers available for the task,

The first 4 projects should indeed have 4 people working on them, But for the 5th to 8h projects we will consider them as 1 giant project,

Have 15 people create each saw type, And when they are done, get them to start creating the measuring rulers and the planks,

The 9th project should have 7 workers on it to make: mails, door knobs, hinges and paint brushes

While the other 7 workers should focus on finishing the 10th project," Landon said,

"Your highness, that would mean each worker would have to create 8 screeds in a week and 4 days,,,,, isn't that too little? No offense your highness,,, but from what you described, these saws would take less time to create than swords,,,, A normal blacksmith would be able to make 3-4 swords a day my lord,,, these tools should be done within the next 4 days,,,,What happens when they finish their task early? Do you want them to create more?" Tim asked seriously,

"No,,, those that finish early, should help out with the other projects,,, what we need now is enough tools to start the job, Once the slaves arrive, we can assign more people to create more tools,"

Tim nodded his head while listening,

As for hammers, the department had always been making them for a long time, So far, Baymard has over 300 hammers within the Construction industry,

When Landon browsed through the knowledge he had acquired, he found out that the foundation of all houses were done with wood, concrete and steel bars,

Steel was used because it could expand and contrast in heat and cold, as much as concrete, Which means that it won't crack the concrete that surrounds it,

He also needed to cut down trees and make several planks neatly, If it wasn't done well, the foundation would not be sturdy, That's why he needed them to make saws,

In this era, people used axes to cut their wood, That was a real waste of time, just saw the wood open,

Since there was no electricity, all the tools he made operated manually, The workers should use the 2-man saw to fall the trees,

When trying to get precise wood measurements, they could use the measuring rulers, chalk, wood scroll saws and Rip saws to get the exact wood blocks needed for each part of the house,

He also needed to make sure that the cabinets for the kitchen, bathrooms and so on,,, were done properly,

In this era, people tied wood together with ropes, instead of using nails,,, ,,Thats why he also requested for nails to be made asap,

"Now, that we are done with department 4, let's talk about department 3, the warfare department,"

Landon also gave him a detailed understanding and sketch on how the handguns were to be manufactured,

"Also, put all the hoes and spice grinders on a cart, I'll take them over to the food industry",

Landon met chief Wiggins and handed over all the tools to him,

In this era, people used sticks, sharp stones, pickaxes and their hands to dig up the soil,

The hoe was flatter compared to the pickaxes and wasn't as heavy as the pickaxe, Wiggins didnt know how this thing could help them, He looked at the tools in confusion,

Landon decided that it was better to show him how it worked, than explaining its functions, So he decided to head towards the farms,

Once they arrived, Landon gave 10 hoes to random workers and 1 how to chief Wiggins, while holding another hoe in his hand, He rolled up his sleeves and turned towards them,

"Lets begin, follow my lead"

Landon held the hole with both hands and swung frontwards towards the ground, After softening and smoothing the soil, he then started forming beds by digging up the sorrounding soil and placing it on top of the area he smoothed,

As everyone followed his movements, they realised how fast and easy, using this tool was, Less than 3 minutes, they had already formed a farm bed,

Normally, it would take 1 person an hour to make a standard size bed, After using a pickaxe, stones or sticks to soften the soil, the farmers would use their hands to form the beds,

Chief Wiggins looked at the tool in his hand and smiled, This was a game-changer for him,

"Once the day is over, you all can return the tools back to your supervisor",

Since the demonstration was over, hewent back to the food industry with chief Wiggins, And on their way, Wiggins kept talking about how this tool was godly and so on,

Landon looked at the excited man and chuckled, When Wiggins spoke about farming, he really looked like a kid,

As they rod back, Landon kept thinking about spice making,

Although he wanted to start now, he knew that he couldn't without more people, So he decided to wait for the slaves and pass the time assisting every department,

----

As Landon thought about his situation, someone far away was preparing for a stormy night,

I'm the King Of Technology

For the past 1 week, Landon had been waiting for the ship to come with the slaves,

Landon had decided to use this period, to create more equipments for the new industries, that were about to be formed,

And after waiting for another 3 days, he was informed that there were 10 large ships sailing towards Baymard,

From the system, Landon could identify the ships, They were Santa's ships,,, but why were there so many?

'Just what was he thinking?' Landon thought,

------------

On the shore, Landon looked at the ever smiling Santa and felt helpless, It was really hard to get angry with this jolly fellow,,, sigh,,

"Little bro,,,,, I've missed you,,, not seeing you all this while, has made my heart uneasy,,,, Little bro, I hope your not mad at me for coming late,,,,hihuhu,,,," Santa said while giggling,

Everyone on the ship was surprised, Isnt that the king? ,, why would he talk to a noble like that?

Before they had set sail to Baymard, Santa had explained to them the situation Baymard was in,, He also assured them that the king of the newly independently established territory, would definitely treat them well, He had guaranteed them safety, shelter and food,

Back on the shore, Santa explained what happened and why he had brought 10 ships of people with him,

Long story short, once the 9th prince arrived Vienna, everything was going on fine at first,

But a month later, there were sudden attacks and killings happening within the city, By the end of the next month, more than 11,000 people out of 96,000 people had died,

When they had captured one of the attackers, it was revealed that the queen had been sending a group of bandits called the 'Evergreen Bandits' to harass the citizens, while trying to kill him, Once he was killed, it would be announced that him alongside the citizens, died from an attack from bandits,

The queen had to make sure that it wasn't traceable to her, so burning and killing other people was only their secondary mission,

But when the bandits came, the prince along side the city lords knights fended them off bravely, At the end, their primary mission of killing Bari had failed,

The queen became restless and ordered her secret knights and about 23 gangs with more than 5,000 people in each gang, to join forces and burn down the entire city,

The city lord got wind of the plan early on and informed the prince, It was said that in the next 3 months, they would arrive Vienna and the attack would commence,

So,they started evacuating the people from Vienna immediately,

Once the Bari heard the news, he also sent a letter to Santa requesting for his help,

2 months later, the city lord had evacuated all the barons, as well as over 71,650 people, The city lord of the next town was close friends with Basi as well,,,,, so Bari successfully settled these people to settle in his town with all their belongings,

4 days after that, Santa arrived with 10 giant size ships,,, they boarded the ships and headed for Baymard,

The city lord couldn't go with Bari because he was still an official in the empire, He took his family and his knights and headed back to the Capital,

,

,

Listening to the story, which felt like all those Tv dramas he had watched, he was somewhat taken aback, He also felt pity for Bari, his family and the people,

But basically, apart from the 800 slaves that Santa originally got,, he still took 13,350 people from Vienna,

So in total, there had 14,150 people on those ships,

Although he felt sad for them, the amount of mud houses he built couldn't contain all of them,,, forget it, he would just have to give them an estate in the upper region to live in,

He decided to use the closest estate to the central region,

Of course the prince and his family would live in the castle with him,,, royalty was royalty, afterall,

Santa looked at Landon and smiled,

"Since you paid for 3000 slaves, I will send the other 2,200 more,,, remember, there are 800 slaves amongst the group", Santa said,

"How can I ask you for more? what kind of person do you think I am? You don't have to do that,"

"Its because I know what kind of person you are that I'm willing to get more slaves for you, It would be good if you can save them from their salvery, These people are usually treated and treated even worse than animals,, If they stay with you, I know that you would help them in every way possible,"

"Your right,, I agree with you,,, Since that's the case, I will pay you for your trip as well,, And if you ever find refugees ur people that need help, send them over as well", Landon said

After getting the gist, Landon sent 50 knights to call over all the overseers, supervisors, Major generals, Captain's, his mother, Lucy, Grace, little Momo the head butler and Maid to come over,

He wanted to introduce them to everyone here,

Once everyone arrived, Landon had them line up on the highest point of the ground,,, As he did that, he also had Santa gathered all the people along the sandy shores,

'System, can you amplify my voice? I want those at the back to here me loud and clear, At the same time, I don't want those at the front to feel like I'm screaming,,, I want everyone to get the same Volume or tune when I'm speaking',

'Host, yes I can, It will cost host 10 DP, 15YP or 4BP per hour',

'Why so expensive? Isnt it just amplification? Aren't you cheating me?'

'If the host thinks that it's too expensive, then that is not the system's problem,,, the system is an almighty system and above petty arguments with host, ,, is host buying or not?"

Landon really thought that this system was a petty black-bellied system, Above arguments? Pleeeease,,,

'Fine,,,, I'll buy it then,, use my BP for 1 hour"

--------------

"My friends, I know that some of you feel helpless, scared and afraid,,,,, I assure you that Baymard will be a safe haven for you,

You all had laboured and toiled within Vienna, and had to face and witness death of your own friends and families,

Yes, I'm talking about the 5,000 poor innocent souls that died from the first attack on your city,

You all have been put through hell by those treacherous gangs who only feel plessure from bloodshed,

I promise you that within my territory, I will give you a new life and a new path, in which you all can proudly walk on!!

Whether you are slaves from Carona or citizens fro Vienna, from this day forward, you all will be my friends and my family, Your pain will be my pain,,, and your happiness will be mine as well,

I hate that word 'slavery', It is vulgar and goes against my beliefs, In this land, there is no such thing as slavery,, and there will never be

On my land, everyone has to go to school, and children are not allowed to work until they reach the age of 14, in which they can applly or get what we call 'an internship' for the time being until they finish school,

With time, you all will come to understand and love Baymard, just as much as I love it,

And if you face any issues within the territory, you can meet any of these people standing behind me, to aid or assist you,,,

Once more,,,,Welcome to Baymard!!!!!"
