Chapter 400 Search & Rescue

It was finally 9 P.M, and the entire island was already submerged into complete darkness.

"Captain Wayne!"

"Yes sir!"

"You will stay on the island alongside the rest of the soldiers, and guard the ship.... as well as protect these slaves.

Also... if we don’t arrive in 9 days’ time at most, prepare for an emergency search and rescue immediately.

Since you’re in charge, I trust that you’ll be able to pick your own second in command from the Lot."

"Yes sir!"

"Good!.... now the rest of you, get ready for take-off!"

"Yes sir!!" The others replied in unison.

.

’Vruuu!’

The balloon ascended into the heavens, which utterly shocked the slaves.

"Oh my heavens!

You see, I told you that they were Gods!"

"Ahhhh!..... look!.. look! They are getting smaller and smaller as they ascend.

Is that normal?"

"Pui!!.... what do you know, that is obviously done so that they can watch over everyone from afar."

"Hmmm... That indeed makes sense!

This way, they would be able to see the ends of Hertfilia right from up there.

But do you think that they would be able to see over the flat land?"

"Are you talking about the fact that the world is flat?"

"Of course they would be able to see over the flat horizon.

That’s why they’re Gods.!"

"Yeah dummy, how can you ask such an obvious question?"

The soldiers who stayed back couldn’t helo but sigh at these comments..... as they too remembered how naive they were.

Time soon flew by quickly just like that..... and soon, they had quickly landed around the outskirts of the Capital city at 6:15 A.M.

They hurriedly folded their contraptions back and quickly camouflaged the basket with some bushes just in case.

And after that, everyone quickly had their rest.

They had to wake up at 2 P.M, so it was best for them to make haste now.

Of course, those who had already slept had two main tasks assigned to them.

Some of them went to the city to scout and make several preparations for tonight’s mission..... while others had to keep watch of the campsite while the others slept.

And those who swore asleep woke up, those who went or scout or guard the camp would come back and everyone would have their breakfast together.

.

Landon wanted everyone energized for the mission with no excuses.....

So of Of course from then on, the roles would be reversed with those who were up having a quick 5-hour nap till 8 P.M... and vice versa.

Following that, after waking up..... everyone would have their supper... and go over their plans again one last time.

That was the general fist of what they had been up to for the past few hours.

"Is everyone ready?"

"Yes sir!"

"Good!

Remember, this is only a search and rescue mission.... and not a battle.

Once we get our target, we leave!

Your life is also of equal importance to that of our target.

So no trying to be the hero and take on everything.

We only have this one just to get it right.

Do you all understand?!!!"

"Yes sir!"

Landon looked at his watch and smiled.

’12 midnight’

"Move Out!!"
