The game was on!
Peetage was bent on uprooting this band of witches and giving them hell.
It wasn't long ago that he discovered the location of their main headquarters which surprisingly wasn't so far from the city.
At least by horseback, it was at most five days away. Still, as a good hunter, he has always kept watching over his prey.
It's been months since he knew of its peculiar location.
He studied their every move, watching them come and go as they pleased, biding his time for the right moment to make his move. Sure enough, the heavens decided to give him a sign.
According to the reports he received, an incredible number of witches suddenly began leaving their hideouts in batches.
What are they up to? What games were they playing?
After receiving the news, he didn't dare to act just yet, lest it was a trap. After all, for all they knew, the witches might be aware of their monitoring and were just setting up schemes to kill them all.
Luckily, it didn't seem to be the case, as his men later reported seeing them board ships leaving the Yaiga Empire.
It appears they were about to make a move on some other innocent victim Heaven knows where.
According to their estimates, more than half the witches had gone. Meaning this was their time to strike.
Heh.
Since they dared to have thoughts on his wife, it was only right that he reciprocated the feeling.
Peetage galloped on his horse with a cold smile.
He hoped that after returning from their little trip, they would like the little gift he left.
Like the unveiling winds blowing across the land, things in Tenola slowly fell into turmoil. Meanwhile, in Baymard, the many days of review, testing, and feedback were finally done. And after two whole days of attending demonstrations, everyone left with smiles on their faces.
"Overseer Tim! These days, you and your team have really outcome yourselves. Although I think it's still important to note that we aren't pleased by the maximum jump height the spiders can do... Do better!"
"Yes!" Another monster added with twinkling eyes. "Can you imagine what we can accomplish if we increase its jump height?"
"Amazing! Though it's a prototype, the Anti-gravitational belts are a must for my barracks." One of the military personnel added.
He almost couldn't contain himself after seeing one of the workers fly around the testing space while wearing nothing but a simple belt.
The best was slightly bigger than regular belts, to accommodate its high-tech features. But that was okay. In the face of such divine technology, who cares about size?

.
Damn.
Whether it was Gary, Josh, Mark, Trey, or even those from the Ministry of National Defense, couldn't stop smiling no matter how hard they tried to keep it together.
It seems that every time his majesty Landon came up with a new invention, it continuously shattered their worldview, leaving them speechless.
Imagine fighting battles while flying? No! No!
so, we will appear at the military research facility to intern and research Gravitational belts.
Won't they go down in history as the first flying warriors to grace the battlefield?
Many felt that if they should ever battle like so, they had to ensure their hair was combed right and their military attire looked sharp.
On such a day, they wished for their pictures to be spectacular for the history books.
Well, the group admitted they were a bit overly excited about the matter. But so what?
To infinity and beyond! They were ready to soar through the skies like birds.
Listening to their many requests about increasing juno-height and whatnot, Tim could only nod wryly, knowing they were just greedy to taste the feeling.
"Please, remember that his majesty had requested that once the first demonstration was done, we must begin Pilot selection and hiring."
It should've been done earlier but was pushed to now. So they have to hurry and place the job in the ads.
Though it would be somewhat vague and only for Baymardians.
Everyone would more or less know it's about flying. It's just that they might think it has to do with hot air balloons instead.
Either way, they had to put the ads out and begin a 3-week interior and screening process before November 10th.
Today was October 16th. Time was no longer on their side.
Seeing how excited everyone was over her son's inventions, how could Mother Kim not be proud?
She smiled warmly while leaving the dazzled group behind. Her secretary, Ramsey, was by her side, urging her like a mother hen.
Are you older than me, or am I the older one?
Mother Kim tried her best not to roll her eyes, while seated in the vehicle with Ramsey.
He was a good kid but he sometimes, believe it or not, had the power to make her hide in broom closets to avoid him.
.
"Queen Mother, we must go. We have to catch the merchant conference seminar. Have you forgotten you're making a guest appearance today?"
Mother Kim smiled bitterly. "I know, I know, I know Ramsey. But can't I be a little late?"
Ramsey shook his head like a frightened chicken. "No way, queen mother not on my watch! Since you gave your word to them, then it's only respectful to be there on time!"
Who was he? One of the top secretaries in Baymard, who also has magazine features in the business world.
Do you know how many secretaries all over Pyno and the other UN empires look up to him?
In some online platforms and blogs, several people have ranked him within the top 20. So how dare he allow Mother Kim to slack off?
You must be joking.
Get ready, woman! They are going there early, whether she likes it or not! Of course, he was mostly doing it for Mother Kim's interest too.
He will never allow Mother Kim to get bad reviews under his watch.
His daughter is Mother Kim's biggest fan. So how will she feel knowing he aided in giving her a bad review?
Heh. Not on his watch!
