Who?

Who is it again that was bothering him?

Landon hugged his blanket with invisible tears in his eyes.

The sleep in his eyes completely fled away as if running for its life.

Landon rubbed his pitiful eyes while pouting at the system.

Even if there was a mission, why not alert him on it when he got up?

Why did it feel like he was working a full day and night job here?

'Sorry, host. Your current time zone is different from the mission's target.' The system replied, with no ounce of remorse in its voice.

Landon tactfully chose to avoid it and look at the mission tab instead.

And after reading all through it all, he warped into the system's space and started making plans on his immaculate white desk.

Long story short, this mission had 2 parts.

First, he had to rescue Princess Tilda Lockhart before she turned 14 this September.

And secondly, he had to place her on the throne before 18.

Alright.

Those are the main points he was working on.

Up first... before the big rescue mission in September, Landon planned to send another unit to go in and scout Dafaren's Capital city.

The scouts would go in at the beginning of summer, so this meant that they could use hot air balloons as well.

At night, the ships would stay at a safe distance far away from any bustling crowds of ships.

Following that, they would launch the hot air balloons into the air and begin their journey.

They would fly at night and hide during the day.

And when they were at an estimated distance of 5 days away from the Capital City by horse-back, they would then be dropped off.

The pilots manning the hot air balloons would return to the ships, while the scouts and spies would continue on horseback to the Capital.

And every 3 weeks, they'll take a 5-day ride back to the spot they were dropped off to report everything they knew, as well as the Capital's layout, alleyways and so on.

They had a lot of work to do and would stay there until the main rescue team came in September.

.

As for how they would know their way to the Capital, Landon had different thoughts on it

For one, since it was unlikely that no Baymardian had ever gone there, he first planned to find out from the Merchants about what they knew.

The problem was time.

He might not have enough time to take them all.

In fact, within Pyno, there were only a handful of merchants that dated risk going out of Pyno, and they were also the ones who gave him the maps of the seas to a certain extent or as far as they had travelled before.

Anyway, maybe a few of these people had gone to Veinitta before, but the problem was finding them again.

When last they aided out and gave the sea maps, they said they were leaving to different regions around Pyno on business and might be on the road for a long time before coming back.

So it's unlikely that he'll be able to get answers from these merchants.

Meaning they would have to rely on themselves.

Which moves Landon's thoughts to plan B.

.

Before the hot air balloons leave the ships, a few people would go on land with different identities and indirectly ask the ordinary directions to the Capital city.

Some can claim to be village people of Veinitta who had never been to the Capital before, while others can even act as merchants as well.

Many people died without even seeing the Capital city, so this was common.

Of course, they would have to study the way Prince Skye and his gang talk in order to change their accent a little bit.

Anyway, when asking for directions, they knew that they wouldn't get straight directions at all.

So they just needed enough directions that would take them further through the night.

And in the day, after landing and hiding their hot air balloons, they would go into the next town, city or village to ask for directions again.

Like so, they would continue moving forward.

But for sure, they still needed to be extra careful around these people.

From everything Landon heard about Veinitta, coupled with Prince Skye's arrogant rain of insults, he could easily conclude that empires in Veinitta like Dafaren, had forces that were stronger and far more vigilant than Pyno's.

So they had to be super careful not to compromise the mission.

One false move, and it might be game over.

Plus, he also heard that there were more and more hidden guilds, fortresses and cults there.

So they should be careful not to land around sacred grounds.

Of course, with their night and heat vision goggles, they best check things out at all times.

And come September, the rescue teams will also go in as well.

Just like how they rescued the poisoned Micheal from Terique a while back, they would go in with hot air balloons again.

They didn't want Veinitta to know that Tilda would be staying in Baymard, so they had to make everything seem like it was the work of some mystical cult.

After all, the system said he had to put Tilda between the ages of 15~18.

But she was just turning 14.

So surely there was a reason why they shouldn't rush to expose themselves yet.

Additionally, he also had to build Tilda's forces.

From the information about her, she had practically nothing.

At least even when Henry was weak, he had an army with him, though it wasn't that large.

But this girl's case was worse.

This... This...

Landon looked through it again and even pressed the 'Next' button on his transparency interface in disbelief.

'System. Are you sure that this is all the information on her?'

'Host. Are you questioning my heavenly abilities?

If I say that's all, then that's all.

So do your job and get her on the throne.

Remember, failure will result in death!'
