I'm the King Of Technology

With eyes focused on the scene, the Baymardians zoomed in to see the countless long pieces of white fabric drop downwards. 'Good.' James inwardly exclaimed, turning his communicator one.

"Switching to phase 2 of operations. Control units, you'll be staying in the vehicles at all times."

"Yes, sir!" The soldiers responded in unison.

All through their stay in here, they would patiently sit by the controls, listening in to every conversation within their scope. The source of this ᴄontent is ɴo(v)elFɪre.net

At present, they could only listen to conversations happening at a certain radius around each vehicle since the vehicles had their own built-in receivers and devices to capture sound at various distances.

That being said, there was only so much they could pick up.

For one, if the targets enter any of the grand buildings within the estate, they might not pick up much the higher the person ascended within the building.

All they might end up picking up should be from those standing on ground floor close to the wall where the vehicles would be parked.

This meant that if the vehicles were left parked at the very front of the building, they might only pick up the words of those on the entrance hall.

Even the conversations from the other regions on the first floor would be hard for them to pick up.

Heh...

Do you know how grand these buildings typically are?

.

Just based on all the many noble estates they had seen, they were pretty confident that with the thickness of the walls and broadness of the place, they wouldn't be able to pick up much from those inside the building unless they picked up sound from open windows.

However, this was already an extraordinary feat for the Baymardians and anyone in this period.

F***!

Who would believe that they can make such a technology? This much was already mind-blowing.

And as it stood now, they weren't worried about not being able to pick up much information because, for one... Humans were a particularly overly curious lot.

James was sure that after parking their vehicles in the estate, many would begin to walk around the open roads closer to the vehicles, pretending not to take a peek.

Some would also lean on the nearby building windows, chatting and speculating on their identity and how they managed to create such carriages.

But that wasn't all.

Do you think these people would allow them to stay the night without putting both regular guards and hidden guards to watch them at close distances?

Heh...

This move would be a double-edged sword because while these people watched, they would be listening in on them instead.

Day in, day out... The control units were essential for their operations, lest these people try to pull any tricks on them.

Ivo the Terrible!

They had done their research in the journey here, sneakily buying off information under disguise from information guilds.

Some also went undercover into taverns to get out all they could about Ivo and this town.

As it stood, they dared not drop their guard down when under the same roof with such a tyrant.

If things got out of hand, then don't blame them for bung rough!

.

James dished out his orders, reminding the various units of their duties one last time.

They had units that would protect the vehicles and the medical staff, as well as Ground units that would head out every day and night in rotation to close up all exits and entries into the town.

Of course, scouts and other major units were also accounted for.

~Vrrmmm~

The vehicles wasted no time driving in 2 by 2.

The tunnel-gate underneath the estate wall was as wide as a 2-Lane road.

"My lord..."

Cerberus, and those who hadn't seen the vehicles move, were so taken aback that they count help tightening their grip on their weapons.

At this moment, they felt that even if they launched their black powdered bows, it might miss its mark on the magnificent creations below.

F***!

Their eyes popped out from their sockets in shock.

Outstanding! Outstanding!

Ivo stared at the blurry display below, feeling the adrenaline in his veins rush vigorously.

They didn't lie about the speed of these things—horseless carriages.

He didn't think they could exist. But now that he saw one, he definitely wanted them for himself!

.

"Quickly! We must go in and welcome our guests!" I've said, hastily leaping across the wall halls, heading towards the dark and moldy stairways.

Even with armor, his speed was terrifying, with him headbutting and pushing aside any that stood in his way.

1, 2, 3...

Like a child, he jumped every 2 or 3 steps when defending. And behind him were his very most trusted men, also following behind him like a bunch of children.

The air was heavy, with countless emotions intervening with one another.

And though the air was still chilly, their faces tingled not from the cold but sheer excitement.

Goosebumps.

Their bodies were now covered in goosebumps the more they looked forward to the scene below.

Hahahahhahaha~

Horseless carriages! Horseless carriages!

That was all they could think of.

They were running like people who were heading to get the latest phones, laptops or even enter a plane for the very first time.

(^0^)

This was the thrill that only came with technology! They, medieval people, could even turn a person into a reincarnation of a God if that person could invent something mind-blowing.

So of course they would be thrilled.

Horseless carriages...

They had never seen such a thing in their life!

.

"My lord! With this, we might be able to take down that bastard in the East!"

"I know!... If we can get this, then our plans for the future might happen sooner than expected." Ivo said emotionally, before sneering: "If that cousin of mine thinks that throwing me in a town like this can keep me away from what rightfully belongs to me, then he has another thing coming!"

By hook or by crook, they'll claim one or more of these carriages for themselves!
