I'm the King Of Technology

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.

Sigh... what would these slaves do when they realize that the world was round and not flat?

And what would they do if they realized that Landon was a heavenly messenger and not a God?

Yup!.... no matter how advanced Baymard was, everyone still thought that Landon was a messenger sent by the Gods to be born in the mortal world.

And they looked at mother Kim the same way everyone looked at Jesus’ mother Mary.

How blessed she must be to give birth to a heavenly messenger.

Maybe in many years to come, people would look at this simple woman in reverence and make a church in her name.

Who knows....

.

As for the heavenly messenger and his godly crew, they were currently soaring through the air undetected... with the highest speed level that the contraption could take.

With the autumn clouds in the sky, their presence was completely masked, as they steadily advanced as fast as they could.

Presently, there were 18 battle hot air balloons up in the sky.

Yup!

He had used the 20-passenger hot air balloon for this mission

And had only gotten at least 16 soldiers on each balloon, just in case they had to rescue more than 1 person.

As for the attack formation, Landon had assigned 4 out of the 18 ships to go in for search and rescue.... while the other 12 were to create diversions all around the royal palace.

He wanted this mission to be quick and brief..... with no delays whatsoever.

.

One should know that by horse, from the coastal region where that island was close to..... it would take 2 and a half months for them to arrive at the Capital city.

But by car, it would probably take at most 32~36 hours.

Of course with the hot air balloon’s speed of 394 km/h, which was roughly that of some cars back on earth..... the hot air balloon would also travel roughly about the same distance as that of a car.

.

Landon had made the hot air balloon to be very similar in speed as the faster hot air balloon back on earth which could travel over 394 km/h as well.

So it would only take him at least a day (32~36 hours) and a half to make it to the outskirts of the Capital in 2 days’ time.

And since they could only travel at night, they had decided to spend the next 4 days.... from 9 P.M to 6 A.M travelling.

.

Hence for the next 4 days... Landon and his team had spent the nights travelling, and the days sleeping, resting, hunting, scouting, preparing their mission and checking the balloons to see if it needed any maintenance or not.

And with enough supplies like gas tanks, ropes and so on.... they had recharged the contraption every time that they wanted to take off.

.

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!!"
