I'm the King Of Technology

Chapter 1541: Finally, It's Here!!!!

Running out, Lucy's heart was heavy.

One could say they hadn't lost a substantial amount of people today.

But still, a loss was a loss.

If they had anticipated the enemy's final move, the results would've been different.

Lucy didn't know how she finally fled the underground cave.

But all she knew was how heavy her heart was for the families of these people.

Was this how it felt?

She didn't know how Landon and the others did it, carrying so many people's lives on their shoulders.

It wasn't that this was the first time Baymardians died during battle.

No...

They weren't omnipotent.

And even now with Lucy overseeing a team of 2,000... Having 16 people die wasn't bad.

It was a good statistical number compared to anywhere in this world.

Even Morgs when out in battle, couldn't seem to get such a number no matter how skilled they were.

Maynard had technology to shoot their enemy before they could react, as well as spot their event no matter what hiding place they hid.

Additionally, they had good body shields and strong fighting abilities too.

Such advantages like these lowered the death rates. But it didn't mean people won't die.

.

All 16 were buried underground.

And right before their moments of death, they spoke to those in the 'Control tower,' passing messages to those they loved.

It's impossible for these bodies not to be retrieved!!!

After the treaty was done and finalized, excavation teams from Baymard would come over, dig out all piles of rubble and bring these brave soldiers home.

Additionally, they would have to retrieve any Baymardian weapons and items on them.

One needn't worry that the event would dog it out.

Firstly, excavation in this era could take 2 or 3 years, with people relying on slaves and builders to carry the blocks and rubbles buried so deeply into the ground.

Do you know how deep this underground palace is?

It's like a tomb raider setting, too impossible to accomplish in any short time.

The things one might find first would probably be things in the buildings out and above on the surface.

Death was something all marines and soldiers were ready to face, with everyone having a will made should in case they didn't come back.

The families of the dead would be compensated and given certain privileges and glories that belong to the deceased.

Lucy lowered her head, feeling pain erode her heart.

"Your majesty, it's not your fault. None of us predicted their final move, showing we still have much to learn."

This was the first time they had been taken unawares like this.

They also thought the T.O.E.P would value such a place too much to destroy.

In the end, it proved they didn't know their enemy as well as they thought.

Lucy's face was covered in dirt, and her entire body gloomy.

"Round things up for tonight, fast. We leave for the Capital tomorrow."

She didn't want to stay here for another second.

Everyone looked at each other tactfully. "As you wish, your majesty."

"Good..."

.

Like so, victory was Baymard's, but no one smiled at such accomplishments.

And that very night, the rescued ladies were blindfolded.

They didn't even know whether they entered a carriage or a wagon, but soon, they reached the forest's perimeters and were set free.

It was already 4:20 A.M.

And by 6, the town's gates would be opened.

They could go in then or stay in the forest if they liked.

Ivanka had given the bag of gold she took from the chamber vault to these ladies.

They distributed it amongst them equally, and now they set them free.

Sometimes, the more one knew, the more dangerous their situation would be.

So they tried their best for these ladies not to know much about them.

Why?

Because in this nearby town, it's clear that some people might be undercover T.O.E.P members.

As for the T.O.E.P scouts they tranquilized, these scouts had long been gagged and locked in the trucks.

Head counts were already done, and everyone knew the death result for tonight's operations.

The dogs were back in their vehicles, and the injured reported their status while the many vehicles drove off.

For now, they had to get as far away from here as possible before stopping to attend to the injured and have breakfast.

The Capital was only a 12-hour drive away from here.

So they should be able to see his majesty Landon tomorrow.

Sigh...

Lucy fell to her bead, in no mood for breakfast.

She took a single protein bar, chewed on it, and thought of the fallen Baymardians. The source of this ᴄontent is novelenglish.net . Firᴇ.net

This was her first time having someone die under her hands. So how could it not trouble her?

She closed her eyes and prayed for her ancestors to teach over those who left.

She also swore that when she got back, she would see the families of these people, personally sending her condolences.

The only thing she was grateful for was that the loss wasn't out of Baymard's scope.

In recorded times, the biggest loss Baymard had encountered in a single battle was 21... And that was when Landon got over 10,000 people to assist Henry take the throne.

Baymard's losses have always been small, with sometimes having only a single person dying and in other times (most of the times), having no one dying, just injured.

.

Alas...

Lucy closed her eyes, feeling her tired body sinking deeply into a sleepy abyss.

Operation Destroy Titarian Headquarters Completed. ????????????r????????????. ????o????

And now, it was time for her to reunite with her beloved husband.

Things were indeed going as planned.

Not just for the Baymardians but for many others far away too.

For you see, in another glorious empire, several people of high importance had gathered around excitedly.

In particular, one of them was laughing hysterically, not holding back in his lively banter.

Hahahhahaha~

"Everyone make way!!!... It's here!... It's finally here!"

The Holy Core has arrived at Abian's Capital city!

And now, Morgany's powers will grow.
