Chapter 747 Lapitus Moves (Part-6)


    As the first of the men drove their weapons into the backs of the unsuspecting nobles, initially the working girls witnessing these were more stunned shocked into silence than terrified.


    The suddenness of the move left the girls nk for a while, with some even thinking that there might be a legitimate reason why their patreon was killed, such as him being a crook or criminal, with the entire thing being carried out under the city lord''s instructions.


    But soon such optimistic projections were put to rest as subsequent acts clearly proved that was not the case.


    The girls quickly spotted the soldiers killing everyone in sight indiscriminately, both men and women.


    Yes, even the innocent courtesans were not spared.


    Because in the eyes of these soldiers, these women were just as much as guilty for desecrating the memories of the dead as the men were.


    Hence once the surviving prostitutes had the time to process the entire thing, they quickly woke up to what was really happening.


    "Kyaahhh!"


    No one was sure who was the first to produce this ear piercing scream, but with one of them raising the rm, all the other girls too were broken from their stupor.


    Then understanding the danger they were in, all of them started to let out terrified shrieks as they bolted away from their men and attempted to run to the nearest exit.


    But ironically, their shouts actually worked against them, for these loud wails alerted all of Lapitus''s men nearby that the n had begun.


    Thus following the first groups, all of the others bared their weapons too, and a bloodbath promptly ensured.


    The drunk men and the working girls had no weapons to defend themselves with or nowhere to escape to, for all the exits were long, long ago closed by Lapitus.


    And though some of the nobles did bring their personal bodyguards, their numbers were too few and they were too scattered.


    Since the very start of the party, Lapitus had been busy secretly and meticulously surrounding these small pockets of armed men with his own men.


    So the moment Lapitus gave the signal, these were among the very first groups to be attacked from all sides.


    Most of the people who could have put up a fight were never even given the chance.


    Lapitus did not himself take part in the massacre.


    Instead, to be able to better coordinate his men, he stayed back near the banquet, surrounded by a small entourage, simply watching the fifty or so guards herey waste to the nearly two hundred men and women present.


    The soldiers used swords, spears, and daggers to attack the men from all directions, catching their prey in all sorts of different postures- standing, sitting and even lying.


    And as they plunged cold steel in their flesh, it caused the room to echo with the anguished cries of the wounded and dying, as well as curses calling them all kinds of names- traitors, rebels, scums, etc.


    But all these aplished nothing, as the floor was soon sttered a macabre red and the once jolly room was only filled with naked and semi naked corpses, with many hideous wounds surfacing on them.


    Observing this sanguinary act from a distance, after a while Lapitus found there was nothing more to see here.


    Almost all of Petrino''s forces were already decimated and now it was the man''s turn to join.


    "Let''s go. I want to see Petrino."


    So turning to address the small group around him, he expressed this.


    Petrino had actually left the party a bit prior to the start of this massacre, with two of the most beautiful courtesans snuggled around his arms, his destination,-the bedroom, his intention- very clear.


    And Lapitus was actually d to see the man leave.


    Because before he imed his prize he wanted to make him suffer for what he did to his wife all those years ago.


    And he wanted to do that in a private room.


    So leaving one of his captains in charge of the ce, Lapitus and three others made their way through the twisty corridors, until they were finally standing in front of Petrino''s room.


    And there, Lapitus encountered hisst obstacle, Petrino''sst two bodyguards who were standing guard at the door


    These men, upon seeing Lapitus approach did not react with any hostility, but simply greeted him with a military salute, before one of them posed in a lightly worried voice,


    "Captain Lapitus! We heard screamsing from below. Is everything all right?"


    Though the hall room was quite a ways from here, and reasonably well insted, the shouts and screams of a few hundred men were indeed quite loud.


    Loud enough for its echoes to reach up to here.


    "Haha, rest assured men. It is just the lords enjoying themselves a bit. Like that…"


    But Lapitus was easily able to brush these concerns with this breezy chuckle, as he then pointed his finger towards the door to emphasize his point, one from which loud amorous moans were constantly drifting out.


    "Aggghhh, Yes…. hehehe, oh my lord… ahhhh, mmmm"


    Clearly, Petrino was in the midst of enjoying himself to the fullest.


    "Ri… right! *Ahem*" And as Lapitus pointed out how Petrino was doing such deeds during a night of such significance, it left the guards feeling a bit ashamed of their lord as they coughed awkwardly.


    But that feeling could notst long.


    For as soon as the men were distracted, two of the men behind Lapitus who were hiding theirdaggers behind their back instantly lunged towards the unsuspecting guards, and


    *Aggghhh!*


    "Urggggg*


    The steel des were driven urately deep in the two men''s throats, the thick tip going straight through their thorax and sticking a good few inches out the back.


    And as the attackers then mercilessly yanked the deadly de back, both the men almost simultaneously slumped upon the floor, losing all strength in their bodies as they tried to use their hands to try and close that huge wound, a futile act if there was one.


    Shock and disbelief were vividly etched onto their faces even as they died, for they still could not believe what had happened or why.


    Lapitus was also disinclined to give them any exnation andpletely ignoring the fate of these two nobodies, he simply pushed open the heavy mahogany door and hurriedly stepped into the room.


    "Ahhhggg, oohhhh, yesssss …"


    There, as he entered he naturally got to see what he had already expected.


    A very voluptuous woman was straddling a man, her fair back and rippling snowy buttocks being presented to Lapitus.


    She was seen moving her hips fast and hard, her enormous breasts swaying in the air visible to Lapitus even from his obtuse angle, as she let out unrestrained lewd moans


    While in the front another very cute looking, petite girl was tending to Petrino''s mouth, kissing and caressing him.


    The three were so engrossed in their act that they had not even noticed the intruder.


    "Out!" That was until Lapitus barked this at the top of his lungs.


    Seeing Petrino disrespect his master''s memory like this incensed Lapitus.


    And this huge enraged shout naturally caused the intimate act to immediatelye to a halt, as all three heads simultaneously turned to locate the origin of this howl.


    "La… You! What are you doing here! How dare you barge in like this!"


    And with Petrino immediately recognizing the intruder, his face instantly changed from being shocked at the sudden shout to pure, unadulterated fury.


    Any man caught like he was would have likely acted the same.


    "You two …. *ng*! Out!"But Lapitus did not even put Petrino in his eyes.


    Instead, tuning his head to re at the two courtesans, his eyes fumed with anger at both of them, as he pointed his unsheathed sword at the two nakeddies.


    Lapitus did not want to kill them unless necessary.


    "Ye… yes!'' And facing four fully armored men with one even pointing a sword at them, these girls did not need any more encouragement.


    Getting off from Petrino like he was the manifestation of the gue, these girls did not even bother to pick up their clothes, as they bolted straight for the door.


    The two very well understood that when armed stormed a lord''s room like this, it usually meant total elimination for everyone there.


    So they could not wait to disappear from their sight, even if it meant they would have to run around the mansion totally nude.


    They would have been even willing to run through the streets bare if it meant they could escape this situation.


    "Yo …you! What are you … Guards! Guards!"


    While Petrino. being abandoned like this, did not spare even a second nce at the two, instead fixing his eyes on the glinting steel.


    Before sensing that something was truly wrong and started to shout at the top of his voice for help.


    But of course, no one came.


    They were either dead or moved to other parts of the mansion, under the direction of their new captain.


    While Lapitus did not immediately start addressing Petrino.


    Instead, turning to the three men behind him, he asked, "Could you go wait outside the room? Enjoy those two whores if you want. I want some time with him alone."


    Pleasee Here!
