Chapter 399 The Gods have Descended

It was just 1 P.M when Landon and his crew had just arrived at a very small island close to Terique.

It was believed that the island was inhabited by pirates.... But so what?

Ever since they had arrived, they had immediately gone out to look for these pirates, and had already successfully locked all of them up in their own dungeons there.

After searching through the place, they had quickly seen letters from Nopline as well.

It seemed like the reason why these men were able to stay comfortably here.... was the fact that they were under Nopline’s protection.

Hence no one dared to do anything to them.

.

They searched for a while, and soon.... they had also freed up the slaves and innocent people who had been taken by this pirate as well.

For sure... when asked if these prisoners wanted to leave or come with them, some chose to return back to their own empires, while others chose to follow their saviours in the end.

Nonetheless, Landon had agreed to everyone’s request... with just one condition.

And that was to only leave this island once his mission had been completed.

.

Now that the island was theirs for the taking, it would be a great area to hide their massive warship undetected... as they didn’t want anyone having any funny ideas while they were gone.

As for how Landon and his crew would invade Terique.... Well, they would do so with the use of hot air balloons!

One had to know that it has been a month ever since hot air balloons had been made.

And while the attraction site was still under construction.... Landon had immediately requested for all warrant officers and those of higher statuses should learn how to pilot these balloons immediately.

Of course the Marines, Navy and Coastal guards also had to do these tasks as well.

So every week.... he had requested that everyone should parachute down at least 14 times a week.

That was 2 times a day.... or 3 times a day if Saturday and Sunday were kept off.

.

To start off, Landon had used the first week of training to teach the leaders and teachers to parachute down on their own.

Of course for their first 3 times.... He had strapped himself to each of them and had jumped down with them.

As for the students, they had been learning for the past 3 weeks now... And had to jump out at least 14 times a week.

So in total, some of them had jumped out a total of 52 times.

While others had increased that number by jumping out at least 5 to 10 times on weekends... making a total of 74 to even 91 times these past few weeks.

But of course, since the warrant officers and even those with higher positions knew how to fight pretty well.... Landon prioritized those who had more control and handle over parachuting, as well as those who excelled in piloting these hot air balloons when choosing men for this mission.

.

"Warrant Officer Wayne.... Join the others and hold up the hot air balloon’s envelope."

"Captain Raymond....please ensure that each person had a parachute on them."

" Warrant officer Cederic.... Get the weapons and place each weapon type in each passenger stall."

"_"

As the command was being given out, those freed slaves all had a look of shock in their eyes.

What sort of contraption was this?

They watched the large cloth (balloon)/grow bigger and bigger in awe.... and they soon looked at their saviours with worshipping gazes, especially the leader of the group.

"Sir God... Do ... Do you need food to eat?"

"Supreme God.... Please don’t walk on the ground, as your feet might get dirty.

Please let me and my brothers carry you instead".

"Ahh!... As a person from Terique, I never believed that Gods actually existed.

But from today onwards, I will definitely turn a new leaf and believe in the heavens!"

"_"

.

And so, Landon and his crew prepare for the mission helplessly.

But in the eyes of these people, the Gods had finally descended from the heavens.

’Praise the Gods!’
