Chapter 1758 Lady Unknowns Purpose? - 2
It was amazing how resilient these witches were.
That said, only the leaders and those in the many councils knew where each fortress was.
However, because she was super talented, a genius born one in a million years, they made an exception for her, sending her on Super classified missions given by other Fortress overseers.
Understand that back then, she did missions many could never imagine could be done.
She was well-welcomed and was also trained to be the future High-Witch, in charge of every Witch in the world.
That's why her betrayal caused them much pain.
She was the only member who wasn't an Elder who knew these fitness locations.
She caused damage to them before fleeing.
And even now that she was 'dead,' she was still working with an anti-witch organization formed by the women the witches tortured and tried to force into joining them.
Hey...
These women worked hard to keep updating Intel on the witches, with some going undercover too.
What? Do you think Peetage found all those fortresses on his own? Don't be silly!
Do you think this is a joke?
They were the ones who did it.
They made Peetage feel like he was finding the clues by himself but they were the ones spoon-feeding him the locations to the sites.
And with his power and army behind him, it's not surprising he delivered a sweeping blow to so many places all at once.
Everything the witches did to his wife, including torture, was true. So they aided him with the right medium to vent his anger --Revenge.
.
Listening to Lady Unknown's Intel, although Beri didn't say anything, he would, of course, still send word to the many Baymardians scattered around the empire in small teams.
Apart from taking care of all witch lairs, another group of people was tasked with contacting the future heir of the Laboon Empire.
The future heir was indeed the current crown prince. But even though he was made crown prince when he was younger, because his mother died while young, he slowly lost favor with his father.
Everyone knows his half-brother, the 2nd prince, was the one his father favored.
If not for Peetage's obvious support of him, he would have been removed ages ago, with his position as crown prince replaced by his brother.
His mother was a close friend of Peetage. And on her deathbed, Peetage made an oath to stand behind him which he has honored since then.
Although Beri didn't want to admit it, Lady Unknown was a formidable ally to have out here on foreign soil.
'I have to send word fast... It seems this Peetage fellow will be of great assistance to the cause.' Beri inwardly concluded, after listening to Lady Unknown.
Seeing as too much time had already passed, Beri and the other Baymardians hastily took their leave.
"When I have more information, I'll let you all know." Lacy Unknown playfully added, while wearing her mask and fleeing through the windows with one last warning.
"Tell your monarch to be careful. The Witches are in Pyno!"
Boom!
Beri now with his back turned, almost fell when hearing her words.
They were like eerie clouds hovering over his heart.
"Now, it makes sense." One of them murmured, causing the others to nod in agreement.
Understand that the witches were a formidable blood thrust and man-hating group who gave even the TOEP headaches.
And yet, 1 Peetage was able to clear their many fortresses just like that?
No way!
It all seems too strange.
.
Everyone narrowed their eyes deep in thought.
Before, they felt something was missing from the story, and now they knew what it was --- Witches!
There were far fewer witches in the tales than expected.
Who would've known they would sail across the vast waters of Pyno in secret?
Everyone felt a thick layer of sweat clog their faces, fearing that those witches still hadn't given up their plan of abducting Queen Lucy.
Could it be a war?
Were they planning a war? A full invasion into Baymard wanting Baymard for themselves too?
If so then they can only light up candles in their hearts for these witches.
The world doesn't know the true strength of Baymard, but they, who were soldiers, knew just how unfathomable their Baymardian empire was growing.
Every year, new godly weapons are dropped into their world, making tenor armies stronger and stronger by the day.
Perhaps these witches do have some supernatural powers and elements as abilities.
But no matter how they looked at it they didn't think the witches could ever win against his majesty Landon in a fair battle.
The emphasis was on the word fair.
Yes.
They were confident Baymard would triumph over any sudden attacks, but at what cost?
What they feared was the casualties that would emerge.
These witches were tricky, sneaky and downright despicable.
Thinning his lips, Beri calmed his emotions and wore his earlier bubbly and playful face while stepping out of the Tavern into the darkness.
It was still afternoon, and the entire land was covered in a blanket of black ink.
They must get back to the plantation fast!
.
Like so, Beri and his group went back to the plantation, thinking of how the news they received would change their mission.
But even though they felt it was good that Peetage was doing the heavy lifting for them, they still didn't want to just sit back and do nothing.
To gain the crown prince's trust, they too must show their might.
They might have good intentions toward the Crown Prince, but it will be very hard to convince him if they do nothing to aid his journey to the top.
Tapping his fingers, Beri squinted his eyes thoughtfully.
Although Lady Unknown said she told Peerage the fortress locations, he had a hunch she didn't tell him where all were.
According to his majesty Landon's spy, there should be Ledgers of names somewhere in the real main fortress.
But where exactly was the mysterious fortress hidden?
Don't forget that Landon had left a tracker on the surviving Witch assassin who fled Baymard.
After that, he appeared, putting more trackers on the messengers that the assassin sent to Tenola.
It would amaze people to know that Landon appeared in Tenola during that time and directly placed a bug on the High witch Jamila.
It's just that he has been so busy to ever check up on the witches, that he completely forgot about them.
That's why he sent them to explore and find these secrets for themselves.
What's more, do you know how busy he, Landon, is?
It's not enough that he has to teach future heirs how to lead their empires, but he also has to develop various new products, pills, and also teach in academies from time to time.
Landon was quite a busy man.
He has to go to wars, develop vaccines, spy on other territories, go for a shit load of government meetings, see people who have been requesting to have audiences with him, solve diplomatic matters, visit orphanages, inspect the prisons, appeared on TV, write scripts, visit dangerous places and still have the time for somehow squeezing family time in his busy schedule.
So, please...
He, Landon refuses to do it all!
He can only give them hints, and that's it.
Figure that shit out yourself.
Landon was truly overworked.
If anyone knew his true work schedule, they might question how he is still alive. But luckily for him, he has the system's space.
And in there, he can sleep for days, and emerge to realize that only a few minutes have gone by in real time.
Do you think he would be this active if he wasn't getting enough rest?
Landon values his sleep a great deal.
He wished he could have Lucy accompany him in his system's space, so they could have more time for themselves.
But Lucy herself was a busy worm.
It's amazing that she still teaches in school despite being a Queen.
But unlike before, her lectures were once a week in a grand hall where students from many classes joined together and attended.
It was like a university lecture hall, only... It was for those in Baymard's public school.
She herself was a busy bee who especially loved to busy herself even more when Landon wasn't around.
Even now that she was pregnant, she still didn't stop working, loving to spend her time outside the palace more than inside.
It was strange since most pregnant women liked being slightly lazier during pregnancy.
But for Lucy, she was instead restless, wanting to always busy her hands.
All in all, Landon left many things for his armed forces to figure out for themselves.
The only time he will ever step in is if it gets to the stage where they have no way out.
With his amid working like clockwork, Beri began thinking of where the main Fortress might be located.
He could ask Lady Unknown, but he only wanted to do it if they were truly out of options.
He sensed she would want a trade of secrets if he did so.
Perhaps that has been her plan all along…
