Chapter 572 Coincidental? No Way!
Right!
It was time for him to buy more time for the men.
William looked at the massive gates outside his window and quickly washed towards them.
The estate had a total of 14 buildings in them, that we're guarded by 3 gates in total... Which also divided the entire place into sectors.
So anyone coming in would have to pass through the first gate (first sector), which had 4 training buildings in it... Before finally passing through the second gate (second sector) and third gate.
'Din! Din! Din! Din! Din! Din! Din! Din!'
William ran speedily across the hallway while passing some of his men on the way and nodding at them.
He wore an armoured helmet rather than his usual masks... So amidst the chaos, none of his men even knew that he was the one that had passed them by.
Because if they saw even a glimpse of him, then for sure... Many of them would've turned around and followed their young master to the battlefield, rather than running towards the secret underground passageway to escape.
They had been told that William and his family had safely escaped already... So they were now fleeing knowing that their leader was safe and sound.
But who amongst them would've known that the same leader that they thought was safe, had just passed them by wearing ordinary warrior clothes?
In fact, only his aides knew about his persistence in staying behind.
Even his family thought that he had also escaped as well... Because he sent them out in groups.
He sent his mother, father and close to 700 men first, before sending his uncles and thousand more soldiers again.
So in such large groups, it was nearly impossible for them to keep heads or tails of the matter while fleeing.
It was only when they were safely away, would they be able to realize that he was missing.
Because they probably thought that he had escaped with a different group alongside his aides.
As for William, he knew that he had to stay behind and buy more time for all of the men to escape..... Or at least 95% of them.
.
Of course, while William was making his way towards the battlefield... Chaos was currently spreading out amongst his enemies instead.
Because while some of the enemies were strategically fighting on the front line, others faced each other in shock and suspicion instead.
The enemies had finally noticed that something was amiss.
One should know that all the enemies were dressed up in black from head to toe.
So they all thought that they were on the same team.
But when some of them received orders from the people close to them, they realized that the game plan was completely different from what they had previously discussed at their camps.
So at first, they thought that there were double agents or spies amongst them.
But when some people said that they were following Crown Prince Eli's orders, while others claimed to follow second Prince Connor's orders... Everyone was quickly taken aback by the turn of events.
What the hell was going on?
"Who are you people?"
"We followers of the future ruler of Arcadina."
"Excuse me?
But who the hell do you think that we have been following?
We future also follow the future ruler of Arcadina, Prince Connor."
"Please!
Your ignorance makes me want to slice off your tongue and feed it to my dogs.
How would prince Connor compare to the majestic Crown Prince Eli who can make anything happen with a snap of his fingers?
In short, the fact that we are here shows that he is the best."
"Oh?
And what do you think that we have been doing here all along?
Admiring the forest?
Hmph!
The fact that we are also here, shows that Prince Connor is definitely a genius on par with your so-called ruler.
So don't get too full of yourself, Stupid!"
"Bastard!... Who are you calling stupid?"
'Ting! Ting! Ting! Ting! Ting! Ting! Ting!'
The sounds of swords clashing against one another could be heard from amongst the enemies.
Of course amidst the sword sounds, one could also hear the sounds of people wailing from getting punched or stabbed instead.
Right now, everyone looked too suspicious.
Heck!
Even the closest person next to them looked suspicious as well, since everyone was fully clothed in dark assassin-like clothes.
What an unfortunate turn of events.
And before they knew it, they saw both Connor and Eli come out and tell them to work together... Rather than fighting.
Things were already like this, so what more could they say or do?
Seeing that their men had now settled down and focused on the enemy at the base, both brothers sat on their horses close to each other in a relaxed manner.
One shouldn't be fooled by how calm they appeared to be, because both of their hearts were currently in turmoil.
Both of them were internally shocked from seeing one another, that they instantly thought that there were some in their camps.
They both didn't believe in coincidences, so they quickly concluded that someone must have sold out their plans to one another.
What sort of coincidence would allow 2 brothers to attack the same site on the same day, around the same time?
They couldn't believe it even if a heavenly being came down from the sky and told them so.
For them, it was total Bullsh**!
But as unbelievable as it seemed, this rare meeting was purely coincidental..... whether they believed it or not.
Even their aides drew the same conclusion as them and had decided to weed out the traitors as soon as they got back to the camp.
Yes... They would definitely catch those unloyal bastards!
.
Their aides stood a little distance behind them while placing their hands on their sword sheaths.
They looked at each other vigilant, just in case the other side tried to pull a fast one on them.
At this point, anything could happen.
