After realizing that their saviour was indeed his royal majesty, Landon Barn... Their emotions at this point were really indescribable.

"Your majesty, Landon Barn.

Please forgive our tardiness!"

"No! No! No!

Please get up and be at ease.

You see, I had personally come over to see an old sick friend of mine here.

But on my way back, I happened to witness you all getting dragged away in chains.

So I decided to save you all instead.

Anyone else would have also done the same, so think nothing more of it." Landon said helplessly.

He didn't want to be worshiped and looked at in that manner.

Everything was due to the system, so he felt a little guilty about the way things had developed.

Without a doubt, upon hearing Landon's words... the men developed had more respect and awe for Landon as their eyes immediately lit up in understanding.

It was said that his majesty Barn had compassion for slaves and hated slavery to the core.

So maybe after he saw them on chains, he decided to help them instead.

How noble!

Henry looked at Landon and felt a little warm.

It was people like this that made him have the courage to fight to better Deiferus.

"Your majesty Barn..."

"Nah-uh

I like your personality, so call me bro!

After all, we did come out of a life and death situation together.

So just call me brother."

Henry who heard this was all the more touched.

Even without knowing his identity, this majestic ruler would still regard him as a brother.

Additionally, Landin had offered to take him home, even though he didn't know where their home was.

Truly an extraordinary man!

Henry smiled and dropped all the etiquette.

"Hahhhhahahahha!

Alright bro, don't regret it later." Henry said while placing his hand over Landon's shoulder.

"Hey!

On second thought, call me fairy Godmother!"

"No way!

You're a man!"

"What does that have to do with anything?

Gender equality men!!"

"Yeah.... not I'm this case bro!"

"Hahhhahhahhh!"

(^_^)

The 2 men teased each other, earning the smiles and laughs of the surrounding men.

Everything tonight seemed like a miracle in disguise.

.

"Bro, I did tell you that I'll get you back home in a matter of hours right?

Now just wait and see, because soon... I'll show you magic!"

Immediately, Landon quickly had the men follow his instructions.

And sure enough, the 25-seater Hot air balloon was now ready to go.

Henry and his men hopped on board in shock.

"Alright!

Everyone please get to your cabins, wear the jackets within your cabins, and safely strap your feet before you get close to the edge."

With that, Captain Landon lifted the hot air balloon into the air, amidst the shock from the men.

"We're flying!

Were really flying"

They felt both excited and scared at the same time.

They looked at the horses on the open field that were now getting smaller, and their hearts suddenly skipped a beat.

Some of them began eating the snacks on board, while others used the flames from the balloon's mechanism as a light source for rereading the brochures on Baymard.

They secretly decided that once they were finally done with all this drama, they would have a fun-filled vacation in Baymard.

They felt like the rumours might not have truly captured how marvellous the place might be.

Because any place that had such a flying mechanism was bound to be magical.

Henry looked at everything from above in awe and stretched his hands into the sky.

The world was truly full of wonder, and he would do his utmost best to bring his empire into such a heavenly era.

They travelled through the night, and finally arrived at their base at 3 A.M just as Landon had promised.

In truth, the flight was actually 5 hours, but the time difference within some areas shortened it down.

Henry and his men got down and still couldn't believe their eyes.

How was it possible?

They were 3 and a half weeks away from where they were.

And that was if they didn't get any rest at all.

Because with rest and some pit stops, their journey would have been a little over 4 weeks.

So how?

They looked at the flying machine again in awe.

It was undoubtedly revolutionary!

As for Landon, after leaving the men a flew a certain distance away from their eyesight before disappearing altogether.

Finally, he was back in Baymard.

It was now 11:00 P.M

He had finally caught up with the time difference.

Luckily, he left Baymard at 6 P.M, so he was now good.

And right on cue, a guard came over to remind him about going to bed.

And since he hadn't eaten, a maid would probably bring him up right about now as well.

Sigh... finally, he was back to comfort.

'Ding!

Mission complete.

Congratulations host.'

'Yeah, yeah!

Talk to me tomorrow, I'm too tired for you now.'

'The system sees that the host is feeling very energetic and will award the host with more missions.'

(-_-)

Forget it!

Landon rested his head on his table while waiting for his meal.

What a shitty system.

.

Time passed by quickly, and soon, it was a brand new day.

Back in the empire of Deiferus, it was already 3 P.M and a well-built 23-year-old youth man was calmly leading his men up the rocky terrain.

They arrived at the base and what greater them was the sight of insects feasting on a massive stack of rotting corpses.

The entire sight could make one puke if they didn't have a strong belly.

"Quickly!

Scout the place out and find all you can!"

"Yes, your highness!"

The youth's men did as they were told and 45 minutes later, they returned to report their findings.

"Your highness, all the money from the treasury is gone, the prisoners within the dungeon have escaped, and there are no guards alive within the base too."

"And why about my brother?

Is his corpse anywhere on site?"

"No, your highness!"

'Bam!'

The youth punched the wall in rage and smiled cruelly.

As expected, this brother of his was really a wolf pretending to be a sheep.

But now, he would hunt him down no matter where he went.

He didn't believe that Henry could escape far away within a day.

From the dead animals on the arena floor, one could see that his brother might be fought last night before getting rescued.

Even though he didn't know how the arena got half-destroyed, he could still see the bodies and clothes of his brother's dead men there.

So if the fool got injured, then at most he would be hiding within the neighbouring villages or towns.

But how could he have known that Henry and his men were long gone now?

"Nicodemus!... Bomiah!

I want every inch surrounding this place searched.

All the neighbouring towns, villages and cities must be checked.

I want him dead as soon as possible.

Now go!!"

The youth watched some of his men flee away hastily and narrowed his eyes towards the base' exit.

'Oh, little brother... This little game of ours has just begun!'
