Chapter 534 Enemies All Around 3

Connor smiled playfully when he thought of all the fun that he was going to have with this cousin of his.

And just like how Eli didn't want to tell Alec about Oden's existence, Connor also wanted to keep the latter a secret as well.... of course, he had made that decision based on the advice that Gavo had given him.

One should know that from the moment he had seen Baymard, he had been utterly convinced that it would definitely be a force to be reckoned with in the nearest future.

And so he didn't want to leave such a good thing with that bastard brother of his.

If he did, then in the future wouldn't it all fall into ruins?

Others might believe that Landon was the one who came up with those ideas, but Connor did not.

After growing up with Landon, torturing and bullying him constantly ... how could he believe that the bastard had grown strong without the help of a wise teacher?

Yes!

It must be so!!

.

In his mind, Landon was probably a disciple of some renowned man who knows all these heavenly things.

So with that sort of mindset, of course, Connor left 2 of his men behind in Baymard just to check up on the matter.

Because once he found this godly teacher, then he would do everything he could to become the man's disciple.

He would kick Landon out of the man's heart, and then expose Landon.... making him lose

all the glory that he had been receiving so far.

Besides, how can someone as undeserving as Landon handle ruling an empire?

Even though Baymard was now fine, Connor still believed that it was the godly teacher that held it up.

So if the teacher passed away or left, wouldn't Baymard just fall into ruins?

Tsk!

There was no doubt in Connor's mind that Landon would sooner or later be the downfall of Baymard.

So as a fine human being and a good lover of fine things, how could he just let Landon mess it up?

In fact, he was no longer interested in Arcadina.

Now, his eyes were firmly set on Baymard.

So how could he inform his father about Oden?

He truly hoped that Alec would remove Landon from Baymard's throne.

And even if he wanted to inform Alec about the matter, it would be too late.

Because by the time the letter got there, Alec would've been long gone with his men towards Baymard.

Again... another reason why he decided to keep it away from Alec, was because he truly wanted to blindside that father of his.

Because to be honest, he really felt doubtful that Oden could win against his father that had multitudes of public and hidden men scattered all across Arcadina.

So if Oden launched a surprise attack, then maybe he would have given a big enough blow to wipe out at least 70% of Alec's forces.

.

As for the reason why he had been following Eli closely after they left Baymard... was also because he saw the cunning look in the swindler's eyes.

Without Eli even saying anything, Connor was already very sure that Eli wanted Baymard all to himself as well.

To be honest, he too would've wanted Baymard if he was Eli too since he also couldn't sit on Arcadina's throne anytime soon too.

With Alec hugging the throne so closely, how can Eli have a chance to become its ruler?

The only way that would happen is if Eli took it from Alec over his dead cold body.

With a man that wasn't willing to step down from the theme, only death would be the best option here.

But even if Connor Underwood Eli's reasoning and situation, that didn't mean thy he would still be happy that Eli wanted both Arcadina and Baymard.

'Ah!... what a greedy bastard!' Connor thought.

"Gavo, do you think that this cousin of yours is the one responsible for your stepsister's predicament?"

"Your highness..... it will be utterly impossible for such a man to involve himself in such petty matters.

Rather, it's most likely that her highness Cary had angered someone else instead."

"Hmph... I always knew that her high and mighty attitude, as well as her sharp tongue.... would be the need of her.

And I was right!

Just look at what she had become?

A royal cripple!

Hehehhe... not even her sl** of a mother than save her now!" Connor said while walking towards a table filled with fruits on it.

He unhurriedly picked up an apple and began chewing on it slowly.

"Gavo.... ever since my mother entrusted you to me, every decision that you've made so far, always ended up in good results.

So now, what do we do now that we've found my cousin's main base?"

"If I may suggest your highness..... currently, we need more men in our camps if we want to take over Baymard.

The Campaign on Baymard is our top priority, so we must make use of everything at our disposal.

Your highness, don't forget that no one saw me sneak in and out of the camp.

So they would definitely not be prepared for any surprise attacks launched at them.

And in addition to that, your brother and his men also don't know about what this matter.... so can do this swiftly and add our forces before they notice us.

With that said, I propose that we leave sometime next week your highness." Gavo said, while slightly bowing at Connor.

Connor fell into deep silence for a while, before finally nodding his head at Gavo.

"Hmm... I agree with you.

We do need more men in our campaign.

So when do you think that we should set out?"

"Your highness... I think that we should leave sometime this week.

But for safety reasons, I think thatm we should pass through the 'Forest of Misfortune!

This is the only way for us to move our men around, without your brother Eli Barn finding anything about it.

Of course if we leave immediately and use this path, then we should be able to arrive sometime in early March." Gavo said while pointing at a certain path on his map.

"Alright!

Prepare the men immediately!"

"Yes, your highness!!"

.

With that, both Eli and Connor individually prepared their attack against William and his family.

And while this was going on, far away in Baymard.... several people were also making their moves as well.

But whether they would succeed or not, was something that only time could tell.
