Chapter 1321 – Side-Mission Activated

With the majority of the team sleeping soundly, Josh and a few had gone into the nearest town to gather information on what route to take towards the Capital city from here.

As for Landon, he and several others headed straight for a nearby stream to gather fish or hunt.

Yes!

They had landed on a high cliffside within the forest regions where many wouldn't dare to trespass in.

It was definitely dangerous for them too. But it was no doubt the best option if they didn't want to be found out by any passerbys.

They arrived at 6 A.M this morning… Places officially brightened up by 7:45~8.

So they didn't want to take any chances, quickly landing their hot air balloons A.S.A.P.

From there, a majority of the team went to bed. While another fraction left to gather information. Of course, some went to hunt and huddle food, planning to clean and prepare their catch before finally cooking it.

.

Preparing animals out in the wild did take some time.

Properly removing toxins or any bitter parts, ensuring getting rid of worms or invisible bacteria in the meat or fish, and so on, did take some time to prepare.

And after clean-up, they'll store the meat in water with a few herbs to allow it to marinate.

Make no mistake!

They did have energy bars and a few cans of food. But those were emergency reserves, in case they got discovered and had to go into hiding without coming up to the surface.

Those hunting and preparing the food will only cook them 2 hours before when those asleep were scheduled to wake up.

That would be their first meal for the day.

Of course, gathering stream water in the compressible gallon containers they brought was still necessary.

Finally, the last set of people that stayed awake was tasked with guarding and protecting the sight from any incoming animals or humans.

What they feared the most were threats from animals because with how deep they were in here, the number of massive beasts that they had already spotted was frightening enough.

Just when they arrived this morning, they spotted the famous Gwano, which was a mix between a chameleon and a lizard, and was the size of a wolf.

Hey. It's also because of the dangers out here that they purposefully chose this cliffside.

At least here, they only had to worry about what attacked them from the front, seeing that there was nothing behind them.

.

Landon, being one of the few who were protecting those sleeping, stayed within the camp, lest a giant bird tried to carry them away.

And one of the men seated close to him, glanced at the paper on the ground, frowning deeply.

"Your majesty, from the information we gathered, Major General Josh's worries might be more fearsome than we expected. In Dafaren, there indeed seemed to be a slave trader whom even the peasants knew and feared deeply." The guard said.

If it were before, he would've found it hard to believe that there were people with godly abilities.

But only after being in Baymard did he understand that the world was indeed a great one.

To start, he realized that in Baymard, there were several of them, like his majesty, the royals, Mitchen and many others who had weird and unique strengths that went beyond human limits.

Additionally, his majesty Astar of Terique, Lucia of Zalipnia, and even the witch prisoner they just captured had powers.

.

Thinking about everything they knew, such a powerful person would definitely get invited to Princess Tilda's wedding.

The probability of seeing him there would be high. That's why knowing more about the enemy would aid them immensely.

Of course, unsurprisingly, they couldn't get any gossip about what exactly his power was.

All people knew was how much influence he had.

Well, at least they tried.

Landon massaged his temples while secretly looking at the pop-up screen before him.

[Side-mission: Destroy all hidden bases, pleasure homes, and free the many slaves captured by Lord Castello Basanta within bite Dafaren and Veinitta. The hist should please check the list, to know how many properties Lord Castello has;

•Dafaren: 14 hidden bases, 25 pleasure homes, 11 public estates scattered around, and 20 public money lending temples/establishments.

•Lingingburg: 11 hidden bases, 19 pleasure homes, 17 public estates, and 18 money lending temples.

Dateline: Must be done before Tilda officially sits on the throne.

Punishment: Complete soul obliteration.

Reward: Random lottery.

Note: the system only listed the properties under the lord's command. The host will have to find these places for himself if he wants to trigger more information about the places.]

….

Landon stared at his mission, only shaking his head wryly.

It wouldn't be far-stretched if he said that he saw it coming.

He didn't mind the mission because it was something he would've done before placing Tilda on the throne.

After all, in the long run, he would also have to research and find all hidden establishments that also belonged to Alexander or anyone else that could threaten her.

As for the case with this lord Castello, it looked like this time, he would have to find these places for himself.

If one could recall, when it came to Nopline's situation, the system gave it to him quickly… Maybe because it was his first time, getting used to the whole transmigrating thing.

Of course, at that time, he also didn't have the workforce or any other means to ensure that things would go smoothly.

At that time, Baymard was still closed from the public, and so many factors weren't conducive for him to start searching for Nopline's many forces.

However, he has grown since then, and the system seemed to have noticed this too.

Thus, he would have to send his men to Dafaren and Lingingburg for them to start searching far and wide for these properties.

Of course, he would drop them off by air in various locations. The rest would be up to them.

And only after they find them would he be able to trigger more information about the said place.

It was also important to note that Castello was way more powerful than Nopline. So this goes without saying that he would have to be super careful when handling the matter.

Landon tapped his fingers against his jaws slightly.

Lord Castello Basanta… Soon, they would meet!

.

Like so, the gang continued to advance towards the Capital, gathering as much information as they could.

Everything seemed to be going according to plan. But it wasn't just them who felt pleased.

Far away, a certain person was also smiling molar to molar at the turn of events.

As they say, revenge was a dish best served cold!
