Chapter 1077 - A Change Of Plans!

Wasting no time, Landon started adjusting the scheduling, making the journey a little more tasking for those managing the sh.i.p.s.

Previously when planning the trip, there were days when they would only need to go at minimum speed, and there were days when it would go at its maximum possible speed.

So now, Landon replaced some minimum speed periods with several standard or max speed periods.

Of course he didn't replace all, but calculated and estimated how much faster they would have to get to pass the Devil's gates before February 18th.

Say no more.

They left on January 5th and expected to arrive sometime on March 10th.

Anyway, the system had told him that he needed to get there before the last week of March, so that was his plan.

Earlier on, he had taken into consideration the otherworldly wave patterns and formations that would slow his journey down or, worse, destroy the sh.i.p.s if he wasn't careful.

But what he forgot were the creatures within the place and several other factors apart from the waves.

And wouldn't you know it, Javis started mentioning a few more regions that he should take more of if he ever passed by them.

Landon felt lucky that they weren't passing underneath Veinitta, going between Tenola and Omania and Zohl to get to Romain.

Apparently, there is another strange occurrence there that has caused many sh.i.p.s to go down below... And that is the existence of thousands of constantly moving bottomless whirlpools.

That's right! Whirlpools!

Sigh... For this new world, Landon felt like the occurrences around were just too strange!!

Such things should be noted down for future reference, just in case they thought of moving there during the season.

.

Everyone blinked in understanding while listening to Landon, who was making a few adjustments.

They rubbed the tip of their noses in embarrassment.

"Well, your majesty, I can understand the thinking of these creatures," Mitchen said, almost sympathizing with the creatures instead.

"That's right. To be disturbed at that time is truly a disastrous thing... This... If it is so, then that does explain a lot of their actions." Andrew said after coughing shyly.

Maybe, throughout the entire year, this was the only time that they mated.

So think about it.

They had been holding themselves back all year for these times, and just when they were about to reach for the skies, people kept bothering them.

Even they would get pissed as well.

They could only say that those who did get dragged down the sea floors had bad timing.

Thinking of getting dragged into the deep bottomless sea, everyone shuddered uncontrollably.

Mommy...

.

Landon chuckled at their grim expressions before finalizing his adjustments.

One should know that by the time they reach the Devil's Gates, they should've already been 3/4 ways done with their journey.

Half of their journey should be done around the 5th of February, with Devil's gate earliest by the 19th or 29th.

That was just bad timing since the rare mating phenom occurred around the 18th.

But with his adjustments, they should be arriving there by the 14th instead... crossing over as fast as they could.

He only prayed that this would be enough.

At least, even if there were a few Laypires already on the surface, he was hoping that it wouldn't be a school or a thick cl.u.s.ter or tapestry of them already mating.

So arriving earlier would give them a few benefits here or there.

Nonetheless, if it did work out, this meant that they would also arrive at Zalipnia earlier than scheduled too.

This meant that they needed to tweak their plans a bit too.

Firstly, even though the Map provided by Lucia's team was incomplete, missing creature activity and cloud patterns... They still had the star constellation parts, weather, and wave details down.

They could prepare them to analyze their fighting conditions, like if they would be making a move in a blizzard or something of such sorts.

Even bullet shots were slightly different in such situations.

And at least they would know that the enemy wouldn't heavily rely on archers.

In short, they had to predict and look into several factors that may play essential roles on the day they expected to arrive.

Landon sighed from relief when looking at the new and improved scheduling in his hands.

Now, there were just a few more things he wanted to reconfirm again.

.

"Prince Andrew, Prince Javis, Princess Lucia... I modified the previous landscape per your corrections and inputs.

So tell us, is this a better or more accurate depiction of what the region we're sailing into would look like?" Landon said while Brian distributed a few doc.u.ments to everyone else.

(°o°)

This... This was exactly the same as how the place was set up!

His Majesty had even been able to point out where the roads would be and what regions were hilly, and so on.

Of course, over their stay in Baymard, they had contributed a lot, giving their inputs on the matter.

But had only seen drafts so far since every time they met Landon and others to talk about it, more information would get added, meaning more changes.

That's why seeing the real professional thing was just mind-blowing.

Awesome!

.

Everyone looked at their expressions and knew that the maps were accurate.

Landon was always on the go, so of course he couldn't do everything for himself, could he?

Over the years, they had learnt to rely on themselves.

So during meetings, Landon only added a few sentences here and there if necessary or whenever he saw it.

They worked so hard and made several more adjustments after their last meeting with Lucia's group.

And now, the results were evident.

Good.

With them arriving earlier than scheduled, as well as taking into account the weather around the seashores during that period, and several other factors... It was time to make some changes to their plan of attack.

Now, there should be no more surprises coming their way... Hopefully.
