Chapter 621 - Unrest Amongst Men

"He's here."

"_"

Those words alone seemed to be as heavy as the world itself.

And just as expected, the military hastily swarmed into action.

"Quickly men, I want all buses out there now!"

"Yes sir!"

"Vrrrrmmmmmm!"

Several buses drove out as fast as they could in a flash.

"Attention Please!

All pedestrians should quickly get in.

And all those in carriages or on horseback should please go back and return anytime tomorrow.

This is an emergency announcement.

I repeat!

All pedestrians should...."

As military buses drove by and gave their announcement while opening their doors and ushering people in.

"Eh?

What's going on here?

What emergency could they be talking about?"

"Why do I feel like something big is about to happen?

"Ahh!

Maybe the wild animals around the forest are trying to make their way towards the roads again."

"Wild animals?

No, I don't think that's it.

Can't you see how safe the roads have been all this while?

Plus, there's no way that the animals will be able to attack us with all these protective measures around us."

"But if it isn't wild animals, then what could it be?

Anyway, these Baymardians have always looked out for our best interests.

So since they said that it's an emergency, then we'd better do as we are told.

Better safe than sorry."

"I agree with you brother.

Let's get on the bus now!"

With that, those on the roads hurriedly got into the buses as instructed and felt a strange sense of relief from it all.

They suddenly felt like they had just avoided some great calamity or something.

'Eh?... How strange', they thought.

.

And while they were hurriedly entering the buses like a pack of sardines, unlike them.... back in the Landport, those who were scheduled to leave were somewhat taken aback.

"What do you mean by that?

Look here lady, I have to be in Provice city in 2 weeks or my lord will have my behind!

So if I don't leave now, wouldn't I be late?"

"No!

I have to go back and give these drugs to my bedridden father now.

This Is a matter of life and death!"

"Of all days in the year, why would you guys choose to do this to me now?

If I don't get back to Winsten City, my noble lady might remote me from a first-class maid to a slave maid.

Are you all crazy?"

Even though the majority of people didn't mind, some did since they had urgent matters to attend to.

But soon, they were shocked by the information that they had been given.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are doing this for your own good." Said the lead guard seriously.

Everyone looked at him in a puzzled manner, as they didn't understand why staying here for now would be beneficial to them.

What did he mean?

The guard squinted his eyes and looked at them sternly.

"We Baymardians will always protect our visitors.

When in Baymard, your safety and well-being will always be one of our top priorities.

So, Ladies and gentlemen... We will never allow any of you to get hurt under our watch.

That's why we decided to keep you all in Baymard for an extra day.

Because right now, the roads have become very deadly and dangerous.

So if any of you go outside today, then you might be killed!"

--silence--

Everyone couldn't help but gasp from shock.

And soon, that shock turned to fear and anxiety.

"Y... You said that the roads are dangerous?"

"Yes!

But not to worry.

Before nightfall, we will completely control the situation and make it safe again.

So tomorrow, you all can begin your travels then." The guard said.

Listening to him, everyone felt like it was reasonable.

After all, these people just wanted to keep them safe.

And if they really thought about it well enough, what would an extra day truly do to their journey?

Sure, that meant that their sleeping days on their trip would be reduced for an entire day.

But wasn't it better for them to be alive and well than for them to die in the hands of whatever was out there?

"S... Sorry, we didn't mean to get so agitated here."

"Yeah!

You guys have already given us hotel services and 3 Square meals for free too.

So we will do as you've said."

"Hmhm... And they're also going to provide us with free bus transportation to and fro the hotel.

So it's really no big deal."

"Right!"

And so in that manner, those who had protested previously had now placed their complaints aside and focused on their current predicament.

Knowing that danger was lurking outside, why would they want to risk their lives out there?

Please!

It was better to go to the Hotel quietly.

And so, the Landport guards and workers did their best to handle the situation at hand.

But what they didn't know, was that the news about the matter had already reached the ears of the reporters.

.

As the guards and workers tried to contain the situation, a young man quickly left the bunch and headed towards the 'Arrival' sector within the Landport.

Yup!

He was looking for the telephone booths there, since they were usually around the Arrival sector.

At least he had never seen any of them within the Departure sector.

Typically, then visitors arrived... If they had any friends or relatives based in Baymard, then they would call or leave Voicemails for them through the phones.

And after the buses dropped them off within the main bus station in Baymard, their families or friends could come and pick them up there.

Anyway, the young man quickly left the Departure sector and ran towards the Arrival sector.

'Clink!'

He dropped a coin into the machine and quickly dialled his boss's number.

Who was he?

He was actually a Baymardian who was on his way to visit his relatives in another town.

But who would've known that he would get such a scoop?

"This is the..."

"Sorry, but I have to stop you right there.

I'm an employee there and my name is Timothy Bricks.

I work in department 7 and my I.D is 00000709.

Please verify it fast because I have news for you all.

Trust me, it's big!"

"_"

Of course the chaos had also spread to barracks as well, since they had been informed of the enemy at the front.

They were all excited at the possibility of watching the battle live.

Even Penelope's brothers were amongst the crowd too.

For sure, only those who didn't have any classes could watch.

"Quickly!

We are going to miss it if you don't hurry up."

"Oh my God!

Why are you so slow?"

"Hey, what's the big deal anyway.

It's just a battle."

"Just a battle?

I feel like slapping you to death with that statement alone."

(*-_-)

Just like that, the seemingly quiet Baymard seemed to be in unrest.

And the culprit for the whole ordeal, calmly rode towards Baymard confidently.

"Your majesty, we are here."

"Good!

Now, let's begin!"
