I'm the King Of Technology

After dishing out his orders, Alec calmly entered the estate.

There were men everywhere!

The place was so full that people had to sleep within the hallways of all 12 estates.

"Welcome your majesty!"

"Welcome your majesty!"

As he passed, everyone quickly stopped what they were doing and saluted him with respect.

Alec nodded back and steadily made his way to the west wing of the main building.

That wing had his bedroom, as well as his main office by It.

Of course, he went straight into his office and stayed there.

Right now, time was of the essence.

A few hours went by, and after a while, there was a knock on his door.

'Knock! Knock! Knock!'

"Enter!"

Immediately, 7 of his most loyal Commanders and aides all walked in and first went on bended knees.

"We have completed the task, your majesty.

"Hmhm... So how many men do we have presently?"

"47,069 men, your majesty." Answered one of the aides.

47,069 men?

That was almost 50,000 men!

Alec had previously sent out close to 20,000 when he was back in the Capital.

And on his way to Baymard, he had taken at least 2~5,000 men from each big noble in the cities.

In some cities, he took from over 4 people at once.

And in others, he just targeted only a single noble instead.

All this while, Alec had been strategically crippling those who were secretly against him with this move.

He took at least half of their total number of official knights.

And in some cases, he took all of their men instead.

Undoubtedly, this greatly affected their political stance and power, since they couldn't make too many moves until Alec appointed or sent their men back to them or appointed new ones.

Looking at how many men he had tallied up, Alec grinned in satisfaction.

.

"Excellent!

For the next week, we'll go over the battle plan with these warriors before we head out.

With these many men at hand, if we don't properly assign and group each warrior to certain tasks... Then there will be widespread chaos on that day.

I want the men to be split up into 8 groups.

You 7 will be in leaders of 7 groups.

While I, on the other hand, will have the 8th group stay behind on the field and protect me.

Additionally, they will also serve as backup as well.

As for your groups, some of you will control all archers, while others will control the warriors, black powder, poison and so on.

Remember, I want this done in a week tops!"

"Yes your majesty, it shall be done." They replied in unison.

"I expect nothing less.

Now, what about the scouts that have been monitoring Baymard dor the past 1 month?"

"Your majesty, from what they reported..... Baymard isn't aware of our incoming attack as well, because they're still the same from the time that we left.

They still haven't opened up any sword fighting academies, and only have those 'thunder-thingies' (tasers) as their only weapons.

But your majesty, it's said that these people are very skilled at hand-to-hand combat."

Hand-to-hand combat?

Alec sneered when he thought about it.

What did those Baymardians think this was?

How could hand-to-hand combat help them defend against black powder?

Except it was sorcery, there was no way that he would believe that they could win against him.

He gently massaged his beard and smiled confidently.

Of course it can't just him, as his aides were also smiling stupidly as well.

What a joke!

They felt like these Baymardians we're being too lax and trusting of the world.

Or else, how would they end up with such bad national defences?

Everyone's mood was that of a sly fox that had its prey right where it wanted it.

In their minds, the battle has already been won.

.

"It's good that they're foolish.

This will only reassure and give us a better chance of victory.

So for now, tell the scout's to stop, lest they get discovered.

Remember, our biggest advantage is our surprise attack.

With how big our group is, there's no way that they would be able to win.

But we still can't take my chances, that's why we have to surprise them instead."

"You're right your majesty.

Since we have a week tops to allocate out tasks, and another 4 days to ride towards Baymard... Then if we get discovered now, wouldn't that be enough time for these Baymardians to get help?

They have already signed a treaty with Carona, so they will definitely come to their aid." Said one of the aides.

"As always, your majesty is always one step ahead of us.

A trip to Carona takes 2 and a half days using their ships.... and word on the streets is that Carona keeps special forces around the coastal city in times of Crises like this.

So If we alert them now, in a span of 5 to 7 days, their reinforcements would've already settled down in Baymard.

That's why your majesty wants us to stop the scouts.

Your majesty is wise!" Added another aide, whose eyes were almost twinkling with excitement.

Alec listened and nodded back to affirm their theories.

"You all are correct!

We don't know how many elite forces are within the Carona's Coastal city that hosts the Bay-Caronian Transport ships.

So we can't take any chances and let our enemies increase in number.

For all we know, after they get help..... they might end up having exactly the same number of men as we do or higher.

That is a chance that we must never take!

Relay this to the scouts: Any can't who dared to leave this place will be killed on the spot."

"Yes, your majesty!" They replied seriously.

Even they would kill anyone who jeopardized their plans.

Baymard had to fall into their hands no matter what.

"Alright, that's all for now.

Dismissed!"

With that, everyone left the office silently.

The long-awaited battle that they had been looking forward to was quickly approaching.

Their hearts pounded like a drum and their entire body fell into a state of ecstasy.

Finally, they would get rid of that bastard child.

But of course, they weren't the only ones who were looking forward to battle.
