Chapter 1078 - A Divide?

Chapter 1078 - A Divide?

Like so, Landon spent the entire month of January alongside the rest, looking through and checking things constantly twice a week.
Doing it every single day would tire them all.
So it was only done on Mondays and Fridays.
They also analyzed how they could use Zalipnia's environment to their advantage too.
An amazing thing about Romain as a whole was that 85% of it was all stoned.
That's right.
The majority of roads had all been done with stones, with the majority of the roads and streets being overly broad too.
Everyone couldn't go marvelling at how deeply organized this continent was when compared to Pyno.
Sure, Baymard might be grand, but the other Pyno empires were nowhere near what they heard about Romain.
Another key point to note was that even though the continent's landmass wasn't as big as Pyno's, Romain itself had 37 empires in it, with Zalipnia being the 5th largest one.
Already, Landon could see his work cut out for him, visiting all these empires to sign treaties.
It was also because there were many empires in Romain that the continent could flourish faster.
Why? Because these Monarchs were all competitive with each other.
Seeing that one person's empire was clean with proper stone roads... of course, others would've picked up the trend too.
And over the centuries, they stole from each other when it came to architectural inspiration, each king competing with the other.
.
The entire Romain reminded him of Egyptian civilization.
One Monarch would have a unique architectural mind-blowing building, and soon the neighbouring Monarch would get jealous and request for a great architect to design something for himself too.
Landon also found these people to be similar to Egyptians because they allowed women to rule too.
Plus, he found that unlike Pyno that had too many monster creatures roaming around... The majority of creatures living in the Romain were mild in temperament.
Sure, they might still be ridiculously huge, but they were docile, and at times used as house pets too.
Only 30% of the species there caused genuine issues to the people.
Sigh... Some places truly had it good.
While Pyno and several places were fighting their own beasts for the survival of humanity on their continent centuries ago, these places probably had almost no problems whatsoever.
Truly, life itself wasn't fair.
Just like that, Landon and his team continuously ran through their plans twice a week.
And apart from them, everyone else was either training in the training rooms, doing their scheduled 8-hour shifts of duties aboard, or relaxing.
This was how they spent the entire January.
It was already the heart of winter, yet some people couldn't go looking for trouble.
.
--The Royal Palace, Arcadina, Pyno continent--
.
The ever bright flames burned noisily within the fireplace, producing a crackling noise, constantly warming the entire room.
If it were before, the massive bed in the room should've already been placed close to the fireplace during winter as in the previous years.
But now, almost all royal rooms had a small box-like Baymardian battery-powered heater directly facing the bed, providing ample heat to those who were about to sleep.
And at times, many placed it directly beside the couches in their rooms when they wanted to eat or look over a few doc.u.ments in their rooms.
Now, coupled with the overly warm beddings and even the room decors, winters were no longer what they used to be.
The more he read, the more he fell into a trance of some sort.
His entire posture turned frozen as the crackling sounds of the fore echoed throughout the room.
William finished reading the doc.u.ments and calmly closed them before scoffing in annoyance.
He squinted his eyes coldly, seemingly lost in thought.
Heh.
As expected, like toads, some people still liked to jump about aimlessly, all the while forgetting whose pond they were in.
When he thought about things now, he felt like he was still someone fighting Alec.
He couldn't help but distort in dissatisfaction.
Tch.
That uncle of his died but didn't forget to send all his enemies his way.
Baron Cain... Just what are you up to?
.
"Death."
~Swish!
Like magic, death popping out from the shadows and kneeling before William.
"Young Master, your wish is my command."
"Hmmm... So this Baron Cain wants to unite the Western regions and break away from Arcadina?
Heh. Not on my watch!
But, even though he does look down on me... or him to be this confident, means that he has a few tricks up his sleeves." William said coldly.
And even a few months before his death, Alec had still made sure to torment and seize most of Cain's forces.
So if Cain was still up and about the way he was, it meant that he had a hidden hand that they weren't seeing.
It could be something obvious or something totally out of their reach.
But they had to look through all possibilities fast!
"Death!... You will gather as many men as possible and head towards the Western regions targeted by this Baron Cain.
First, investigate thoroughly, and wait for backup.
I'll be sending a letter to Baymard requesting the Arcadian soldiers in training there to set off and be your backup.
Baymard itself is in the far Western region of Arcadina.
So they should reach you all shortly.
Remember, don't act until they arrive.
We have to win this war in one swoop!
I mean it, uncle!
No playing with prey!"
(°_°)
Death nodded his head playfully while looking at William helplessly.
Was he that bad?
Sure, he did want to play a bit, but he would always make sure to leave no traces behind, alright?
Sigh... His Young Master has grown very stingy throughout the years.
How did his Young Master become like this?
