Chapter 758 - More Problems
While Baron Cain was busy imagining his fairytale empire, far away in an entirely different continent, so other people were getting overly excited too.
.
--Hable Coastal City, Continent of Lambe--
.
The city was extrely silent, as several residents had locked themselves in their hos in fear of being seen.
Businesses were closed and the entire city looked like it had been deserted for years now.
Even those who arrived by ship on the docks of this coastal city were told to stay on their sh.i.p.s for an entire day before leaving.
Everyone shivered while taking a peek through the small openings in their windows.
"Oh my God!
How long are they going to stay here?
If we don’t harvest the goods from the farms close to the forest, then those wild animals will definitely eat them."
"Dammit!
Why can’t these people just leave us alone?
Why are they here?
What do they want?"
"I heard that they’re just passing by."
"Really?!!"
"Shh!
What are you yelling for?
Keep your voice down.
I don’t want to die because of you."
"Sorry..."
"_"
The air was tense and the people were gloomy.
But why did this massive city shudder in fear?
Well, that was because of the announcent that had been made 5 days ago.
One should know that their current continent, the continent of Lambe, was now governed by the temple of Adonis.
That’s right!
This temple had successfully conquered all 4 empires within the Lambe continent.
They had killed all their rulers and forced the royals to be slaves.
So Adonis the 3rd now ruled over the entire continent with his beliefs.
.
The Temple’s beliefs were just ridiculous.
Won and children were sacrificed and roped duly to the Adonis.
For example, he believed that won that couldn’t bear sons for their husbands were selfish and guilty.
So by law, these won had been seized and locked up in a training ho which they called a ’correcting ho.’
There, many temple deacons, vicar’s, ministers and knights will take turns with these won until they were able to bear a son.
If it was a daughter, they would continue to stay there for their disobedience.
And if it were a son, then they could go back to their husbands.
As for the daughters that were born during that ti, they will belong to the temple of Adonis and do their own share part for the temples’ greater good.
Again, anyone woman who gave birth to a child with any disorders would be put to death.
And all won weren’t allowed to be engaged until after their coming of age ceremony.
That was because during the ceremony, the temple staff had to pick out the best looking won for the temple (themselves), before leaving the unwanted ones for the common n in the empire.
And unlike the Pyno continent, the coming of age for people in the Lambe continent was 13 years old, rather than 15.
One should rember that in this era, due to all the hard labour and physical restraints on one’s body, nopause happened around 27 years old and above.
So the people believed that the younger the girl, the more childbearing she would be.
Anyway, the temple of Adonis had instilled fear into the people all these years, as n weren’t safe too.
40% of their business profits and rits had to go to the temple
Anyone who failed to pay would be executed on the spot.
That said, the people have lived in constant fear of this tyrannical temple.
They had been praying and crying for a change.
But so far, no one has co to their aid yet.
And even those who dared to resist and form an anti-Adonis opposition group ended up dead.
So what could they do?
.
Everyone shivered in their hos while praying that these knights marching outside could hurry up.
They didn’t know where they were going or what they intended to do.
But all they wanted to know was when they would leave.
That’s right, tens of thousands of knights were constantly marching into the coastal city fiercely.
’Din! Din! Din! Din! Din! Din!’
On the sandy shores, thousands of knights were gathered in formation while waiting for the last batch of knights to arrive.
And standing on the docks, was Chief Commander Hutton, who was overlooking them sternly.
Hutton wore an all-black armoury that had several golden symbols and letter writings scribbled on it.
Again, the feather on top of his helt was golden, and his sword sheath also had a large golden symbol of the letter A for Adonis on it.
Hutton stood majestically while enjoying the admiring gaze of the n below.
And soon, so on rushed towards him hastily.
"Chief Commander, all 250,000 n are here."
"Good!" Hutton said while smiling broadly.
With that, he stepped a little closer and soone brought a gaphone by his mouth.
.
"n, today, we will embark on another grand mission for the greater good of our temple and our leader, Adonis the 3rd."
The mont Adonis’ na was ntioned, everyone knelt, did a letter ’A’ with their fingers and placed it against their foreheads.
"All hail Adonis our glorious leader."
After paying their respect, everyone including Hutton got up again.
Every ti Adonis’ na was ntioned, they had to kneel no matter where they were, otherwise if caught, it would be seen as betrayal.
"n, our mission is the sa as always: to conquer the world for Adonis.
However, it seems that so people want to stand in our way.
"Yes, you heard
right.
It appears that so unbelievers want to stop our plans.
But we aren’t entirely sure yet.
A while back, we sent so of our brothers towards the Pyno continent.
And our forces on the many pirate islands along the way haven’t gotten any news of their victory.
We are sure that they did reach the coastlines of the Arcadian Empire.
However, there was no return ssage about their victory, which could only an that they either betrayed us, died or got captured by the enemy.
So we will go find out for ourselves about what happens to our brothers.
And at the sa ti, we will wage war against these non-believers.
This ti, we will conquer the enemy, just as we’ve done over the years.
Now n, it’s ti to fight for our temple.
It’s ti to fight for Adonis!"
"All hail Adonis our glorious leader."
"All hail Adonis our glorious leader."
"All hail Adonis our glorious leader."
