Chapter 725 - The Deadly Pangeras
Chapter 725 - The Deadly Pangeras
Everyone listened to the report and felt a sense of crisis.
"Your majesty, so far... over 10 people have been reported missing.
Some of them are farmers who have some fields outside the town.
Their families said that they typically returned after 10 P.M.
But for the past couple of days, they haven't shown up at all.
Of course we quickly told everyone to stay in town at all times until we deal with this matter.
But we suspect that they have been taken by these pangeras.
So we have to act now your majesty.
Because from the reports, it looks like these creatures go out to hunt every night."
"I agree your majesty.
For the past few weeks, the men have been training hard to take down these pangeras.
Now, we await only your orders."
At this point, Captain Thomas and Captain Syndal were very eager to take down these creatures.
One should know that they were in charge of security here.
So the complaints and safety issues only made them feel a little incompetent.
Sure!
These people were already used to the fact that these creatures could kill and do as they pleased.
But to the Captains, this was still a failure on their part for such a thing to happen under their nostrils.
Baymard tasked itself with being the safest place on the continent.
So how could such a thing happen within Baymard?
They would never let these creatures continuously swallow up people as if they were eating dessert or something.
.
"Your majesty, if I may...
These creatures are known as the witch's pers.
And then have strong bonds with the devil.
They are stupidly strong, fast and have taken down many knights.
So you can see how powerful they are.
That's why I think that we should take a few more days or weeks to plan out a perfect attack." Jamison said seriously.
It wasn't that he was belittling Landon and his men.
But when he remembered how his late father had planned an attack for over 3 weeks and had still lost his life, alongside his brother and a few others... he knew that these Pangeras were not to be trifled with.
So he just didn't want Landon and his men to lose their lives like that.
Landon saw through Jamison's worries and smiled.
"Jamison, do you know how I became king and succeeded in making Baymard what it is today?"
"No your majesty."
"Hmm.
I was able to do all this because of my belief, my judgement and my team...(cough.. and the system)
Jamison, I will never do what I'm not sure of.
So you have nothing to fear."
"Phew!
For a moment, I thought your majesty would attack these creatures today."
"Yup!
You're right."

"Like I said, I'll never do anything I'm not sure of.
Don't worry, we'll win."
"_"
.
Jamison looked at Landon in a daze.
That's it!
His majesty had lost it.
That was the only other explanation for his Majesty's behaviour.
Landon and his Captains just smiled in response to Jamison's worries.
They had been secretly preparing for weeks now.
So wasn't it already time to act?
This was one of the reasons why Landon came here today.
He brought several military weapons for the show.
And since these creatures were blinded by light, the weapons brought over would do some serious damage to them.
Additionally, it was best for then to act in the daytime
So they have to move out now.
Jamison looked at the group of madmen before him helplessly.
Who could tell him why they were so abnormal?
Talking sense to them was like talking to a stone wall.
Everything he said had entered one of their ears and flown out the other.
Others run when they hear the word pangera.
But these crazy people lean into it more and more.
And why did they seem a little excited?... or was it just him.
Jamison was very confused by their behaviour.
These Baymardians were too weird.
.
Their meeting carried in for just 20 minutes, before Landon and the rest quickly called in the team of 50 who had been preparing for this operation for weeks now.
They geared up and briefly went over the plan again before heading out towards the cave some distance away from the town.
Vrrrmmmmmmmm!!'
They drove for 10 minutes and parked their trucks just outside the forest region.
For sure, while a 10-minute drive meant nothing to them, that was actually about 1 hour and 26~45 minutes on foot for many.
And even though some of the peasants and villagers had some inherited farming properties 30 minutes to 45 minutes away from the town on foot, these pangeras still travelled very very fast and attacked many of them there.
Again, any passerbys who were travelling on the roads to another city, village or town were also captured and swallowed up.
So these roads weren't safe at night.
"Team Alpha!
As planned, you will protect the trucks, keep travellers safe and be on standby just in case we need backup.
Is that understood?"
"Yes sir!"
"Good!
Now, the rest, follow me.
We will kill the targets."
"Yes sir!"
With that, Landon and 40 others quickly left the scene.
They travelled deep into the forest on foot, passed through small streams and climbed rocky terrains for another 35 minutes before finally arriving at the entrance to a massive cave.
And judging from the many trees that had been knocked off by these pangeras, they were more than certain that their targets had been active not too long ago.
In fact, some of the broken tree stumps showed that these bastards might've been active last night.
Some of the trees had dried blood on them that wasn't more than a day old.
And from the looks of it, these bastards didn't even care about handling their 'meals' properly.
They just carelessly carried their victims without even caring if they got hit on the head here and there.
The person should've died of a concussion aline before getting eaten.
.
The soldiers checked the cave's perimeter properly before proceeding any further.
Out of 40 soldiers, 5 stayed at the cave's entrance, while the rest prepared to move in.
Landon took a deep breath to calm his excited heart.
Damn!
It's been a long time since he dealt with mysterious creatures in this world.
Was he excited?
F*** yeah!
He was ready to kick some ass!
