As Remus's men quickly lit each of their torches, to a distant bystander standing in the dark, it would have appeared as if numerous tiny suns were suddenly blooming themselves into existence, as the men materialized out of the shadow, looking as if they were teleporting into the place out of thin air. And they soon got to work, with the biggest group choosing to target the ships, running up to jetties where they were anchored and using their large torches to try and get the wooden hull on…-

The legionarries making use of their defensive structures and the choked streets were able to absorb the hits being dished out by the Heeat family soldiers with relative ease. The ditches filled with spiked stakes proved to be an annoying obstacle for Lord Parker's men, as they could not cross this gap to try and close the distance, so were forced to poke with their spear from behind this 'screen', which made their attacks less accurate and thus less effective. Some of the more daredevil go getters…

Alexander's legionaries were of course observing their opposing side's misfortune from their perched ramparts and pallisades with relished glee. The powerful initial charge that was meant to have shattered the defensive walls had unexpectedly lost all its steam even before it could begin, with the attacking men being now much more concerned about jumping and skipping in one leg in an attempt to try and lot step on these large, spiky traps than doing anything else. And the chorus of short pained…

In the time the mansion was being secured, both Remus and Lord Parker received their respective signals, both amusingly from Alexander, and both through a mirror stationed around a window. The former was given the signal as a warning to prepare himself for the imminent assault about to be launched toward his way. While the latter was given the go ahead to attack with the intention that Alexander would be able to inflict some good damage on these forces, and perhaps even more importantly, distract…

1064 Securing the Mansion (Part-3) Chapter 1064 While Alexander launched an attack from the inside, securing the most valuable prisoners, Remus was of course busy doing his own thing, as were the men under him, who all had their individual tasks And the first to act among all of them was the unit tasked with leading the 'secure and containment' of the mansion. "There! There is the signal! Come men! The Pasha is waiting for us. Do as you were told. Kill anyone who resists and capture anyone who…

1063 Securing the Mansion (Part-2) Lord Nolan's pathetic groveling was a first for Alexander in either of his life. He did not think a man could stoop so low. Especially one this high and dignified. Not to mention one so old. You would think that having lived so long, the wizened lord would begin to lose some attachment to this material world. But no. In fact, it was the exact opposite that had happened. The old man had firmly entrenched his desires into the earthly soil, the root descending deep…

As Alexander emerged from his hiding room, he found that the two slaves he had chosen to sacrifice had actually survived, the bolts having only hit them on the arm, shoulder, and legs. This was most likely because of the angle of the attack, as the assassins had shot from the side, not the front or back, thus missing the men's truly vital points. And as the two fell, and became incapacitated, they must have not bothered to finish them off, instead choosing to focus to their true quarry. It was…

As the night descended and the hour of the act drew nearer, both Miss Linda and Alexander found themselves to be a bit relentless. The former's reason was of course easily discernable. Despite her hawkish rant, the act of trying to kill Alexander had not been taken lightly. But given the situation, Alexander really had to go. And thus even the not so religious lady suddenly found herself praying to the gods for success. While Alexander's reason for nervousness was due to a multitude of…

With the plot about him revealed Alexander wasted no time formulating his own counter plan, one designed to turn the tables on the other side. And the way he intended to do it was to take advantage of the attack to launch his own attack. That was why he gave those kinds of orders to Remus and Hemicus. And since the time on their hand was really short at best a few hours, the men wasted no time in trying to prepare themselves as best as they could. Hemicus's job was relatively easy, he only had to…

(Sorry guys... Had the chapter in auto publish. But there was a small glitch. First miss in 1 and half years.... and it wasn't even my faith. *Sob*, *Sob*, *Sob*. Gutted) The winter in Caira was proving to be very comfortable for Alexander. It was unusually warm here when compared to Zanzan, and because the city was right next to the coast, the surroundings were refreshingly cool during the day but tepid and snug during the night. The sun would almost always be bright and shining in the morning,…
