1605: Arrived At Last!

Arrived At Last!

Unstoppable.

Many scattered around the world held those words dear for different reasons. 

The witches, the Morgs, the Adonis followers, Sebastian Barn, and many others felt their movements unstoppable! 

And wouldn't you know it? Landon also felt his November unstoppable too. But it was still too early to say who the true victor would be.

Seconds, minutes, hours, and days flew by in the snap of a finger. 

There was so much going on aboard the many ships, from training and plan revisions, everyone had something to do, especially Landon who still busied himself signing official documents thanks to his secretary beside him. 

Augh~

Forget it. At this point, he was used to their business. 

Was he a monarch, or were they the monarch? 

When it came to everything else, they knew how to leash their collars. But in this particular matter, they were like generals at the forefront, shoving the documents down his throat. 

He had even begun playing a game of hide and seek with them, making them search for him for hours before he appeared. 

Please! He too needed some 'Me-time,' okay?

Sigh... 

Landon has already come to terms with this situation ages ago. 

And like that, time dwindled down as the many days went by. Until soon, they had reached Omania's open waters. 

In particular, they were close to the North-East ends of the Soma empire. But this wasn't where their journey ended. 

Break! 

The group knew it was time for the many teams to break apart. 

The missions to complete were a handful and needed to be done at the same time.

Hmmm...

Landon placed his hands on the table, standing in a hunched position and facing the gathered group of team leaders, lieutenants, and others of high ranks.

The team doctors and nurses were also in attendance. As well as the Navy Captains in charge of the many charge ships. 

Indeed. A big group was seated in the largest conference room on the main ship.

The Omanians were also there, sitting upright like everyone else. 

It's good... 

Landon stared at the group of no less than 300 with forbearing expressions.

~Click. 

The projection came on, causing the Omanians to drop their jaws. 

WHAT?

('0')

They were already used to the TVs in their rooms. But where have they ever seen such a blown-up image appear before? 

The projection behind Landon made him look like an ant before the towering image. 

Their chests grew together, and their breathing became deeper.

The more they saw, the more blown away they became.

Many leaned back with dazed looks, wondering how such a giant screen could come alive. 

More Baymardian magic?

(°π°)

...

Omania!

An overlay of the continent appeared, with the Soma empire's borders highlighted. 

"As planned, our main team will proceed to Riverre Coastal City. As for the other teams, your priority mission is to scout the remaining Soma Coast lands and as much information as you can."

Many nodded sternly, and Landon continued.

"Be warned. Unless driven into situations A, B, C, D, E, or F on page 12, you shall not engage or take matters into your one hands. Is that understood?"

"Sir, yes, sir!!!"

The thundering bellows shook even the Omanians. 

Their blood was already boiling as though they were at war. 

Lucius soon took the stage, going over all plans briefly while making some last-minute adjustments too. 

"This just got in. The weather operators have picked up a fierce scorching heat along the coastlines. I know you all can feel it." 

Lucius's eyes swept across the scene, seeing many nod. 

It was strange to say that yesterday, they were feeling slightly colder, with the rains falling, as though preparing for Fall's official date to arrive.

They were already in September, but mind you... The Fall equinox doesn't officially start till September 22nd. 

Of course, the rains could choose to begin earlier before the date or far later. Anyway, the rains decided to start earlier but were within their expectations.

Thus, they did have warmer clothes on during their travels. 

But what was so baffling was the sudden heat that made many turn and turn in their sleep. 

.

It was just too much!

It was the sort of heat that made one wake up and take off their clothes, throwing them away in a sleepy state.

Many even kicked their blankets away while others rushed to turn off the heating systems in their rooms. 

What the hell? 

They were sweating buckets by morning. And this was when they realized they had hot Omania's waters. 

They were now standing in the space between the Soma empire's official waters and the open seas. 0

Yes. They were at the border waters. 

The sudden heat wave allowed them to understand just how crazy the heat within the Soma empire might be. 

Mind you, the 2nd Dry Season, the hottest Omanian season, was also about to begin.

And trust mother nature to prepare the land for its arrival. 

But the Omanians didn't flinch, feeling the weather was nothing. 

'Heh... Wait till the actual season begins. And then you'll know just how booming things can be.'

Many giants chuckled, seeing them sweat to no end. 

Places would get so dry and cracked. 

The water levels in wells and other water sources would go down as though they were in a state of drought. 

But unlike drought, this was a full season, so mother nature had to balance things out. 

It was strange to say that with the entire place becoming as hot and heated as a desert, there should be limited water sources. 

Yet, during this period, water would first come out from what the Omanians call Obas.

The water would shoot out from the Obas like a volcano eruption, following the space around them. 

What sort of magical thing was this? 

Why was there such a regulating factor in the world? 

Indeed, nature was a mysterious thing. And the Omanians were blessed with the divine blessings they recovered during this period.
