I'm the King Of Technology

Chapter 1941  Improved Forces

The seas were calm, she was,… swaying gently with the wind's touch. The waves came, transient and still, yet always there .. rising and falling, as though to make their presence known. The waves scatter the light, the hues of the water ever changing yet always familiar, always blue. Although calm, she carries a wave of emotions and history. The air was salty, and everyone could taste it on their tongues. Sailors and all sorts of people have enjoyed her company over the years. Ah yes, the seas do birth some wonderful surprises for them all. And in the midst of the salty atmosphere, several men and women crowded in a single cabin, looking at the disappearing silhouette leaving them through the window. Old McKenzie sat amid his sons, his grandchildren and his only great-grandchild who was but 5. His sons were around the ages of 38, his grandchildren were ages 22, 23 and 25… and his great grandchild was 5. He, McKenzie, was 49 years old this year. For months, they had stayed in the Promise Land after undergoing a sudden loyalty test. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Old McKenzie felt that it all happened like a blockbuster Baymardian movie. One night, they were sleeping soundly, and the next, they heard that there was an enemy attack. What? Enemy attack? Old McKenzie and his sons rose up and did their best to protect the Promise Land. Unfortunately, their efforts were not enough, as they were captured once more and treated like common slaves again. "Move ya feet, ya old fool!" Pah! Old McKenzie took a jab to his leg and fell, though quickly supported by one of his sons. Soon, they found themselves gathered in an open courtyard with hundreds of arrows pointed their way. .

"Anyone who speaks on the whereabouts of the Female Rebel King, shall be granted true freedom and heavily rewarded!" The enemy leader mentioned, allowing his voice to echo across the masses. After coming to the Promised Land, they were made aware of a massive secret underground holding space where everyone, including the leader could gather during enemy invasions. They were told that if there was ever a time when the settlement was under attack, everyone was to head to the underground Safe House. There, there will be a tunnel to lead them out. "Ahhh!!!"

Several Veterans they recognized, stood out, swearing not to say anything about their leader's whereabouts. But what did they get in return? Arrows to the chest and lifeless bodies fallen to the ground. Blood splattered about and this move made several people's hearts turn cold. "Don't kill me! I know where she is!!!" "Yes, yes, yes! I swear I will be loyal to you. She is a real b**ch! I have long wanted to drag her down her high horse!!!" Among the masses, only about 10% of them stood up to betray the Female Rebel King. Everyone else zipped their lips, choosing to die with the information. And just when they closed their eyes, ready to receive death's embrace, they heard a clashing noise from afar. Eh? Clap. Clap. Clap. Clap~

One of the enemies was clapping slowly, chuckling with a voice many had now come to know. What? The Female Rebel? (0#0)

The 'dead' veterans suddenly rose to their feet, with fake blood on their clothes and faces. They chuckled and stood behind the enemies, with their hands in their pockets as though watching the show. What do you call this? A TRAP, that's what it was. Instantly, everyone knew they had just been tested. And those who betrayed the Female Rebel King were taken to the halls for one last meal before passing out from the drugs laced in the drinks and food. And that was the last time Old McKenzie ever saw them again. .

Old McKenzie felt he couldn't be wrong. After staying with the Female Rebel's group, he knew they wouldn't be so ruthless as to kill these backstabbers. They might release them back to society. Fortunately, those who betrayed the Female Rebel, didn't know where the promised Land was. Who truly knows anything about this place? They might be able to describe the inside of the settlement that was surprised by mountain walls. But have you forgotten that they got here blindfolded and always kept in the dark? They had to travel in wagons that were built in a fortified way that didn't even leave creaks and cracks of sunlight in. The terrain was also impossible to guess, as they felt they might have experienced all terrains to ever exist in the world. In the end, they knew little to nothing about their journey. So those who failed the Loyalty tests can be sent out without a war in the world. Old McKenzie felt that after passing the loyalty test, those in the Promised Land were more open to him and his family. He was privy to more information, and was also informed of his going to Baymard with his entire family. Of course, they were only told that they were going to an ally land to do a complete hospital checkup on everyone, including his 5 year old Great-grandchild. They were also taken to the Barracks, where they underwent rigorous 3 months of training, adjusting to the hard stone life of discipline. For Old McKenzie, because of injury to his legs, his training was less rigorous, but of course, he never skimped out from theoretical classes. And while he was here, his grandchildren and great-grandchild were secretly taught in a residence Tilda bought for herself in Baymard. Every weekend, they were allowed to leave the barracks and stay with the children. It was amazing that they already spent 3 months here in Baymard. And now when heading back to Veinitta, they found that they were more plump and broad-shouldered than before. Their muscles were pronounced, their figures taller and their skills far better than before. Now, they were heading back to Veinitta stronger than ever, more determined than ever to fulfill their Master's ultimate plans. They were also in awe of Tilda's ability to befriend such a powerful Ally. Yes! With Baymard as their ally, their Female Rebel was definitely bound to win! (*^*)

.

Like so, Old McKenzie and several others sailed back to Veinitta, with thoughts of the future at heart. But While he sailed to Veinitta, another… sailed towards Baymard instead.
