I'm the King Of Technology

With a broad smile on his face, Landon walked along the hallway while humming merrily.

And along the way, he happened to run into Lucia, who was curious about his overly gleeful mood: "Eh? Big brother Landon, what's got you so happy all of a sudden?"

Landon flicked her forehead playfully: "Silly girl, have you forgotten that my mother is supposed to give birth around this time?"

"Ah!... " Lucia's eyes twinkled excitedly too: "Yes! Yes! Yes! Auntie is supposed to deliver the baby. How could I forget so easily? Ahh! I need to prepare gifting presents for her and the baby for you to take back. What do you think would be a good baby present?"

Landon looked at the anxious and helpless Lucia and couldn't help bursting out in laughter.

Well, unlike other places, bridal showers and common courtesy after birth was a normal thing in Baymard.

Of course, there were indeed some practices like fitting ceremonies around too.

But they weren't as renowned as they were in Baymard.

Instead, it was the Matriarch or the woman's husband that would give gifts to the newly born child.

Of course, any major gifts given by outsiders would be added to the girl's dowry or used by the family to train the boy child.

It all depended on whether it was a boy or girl.

Well, no matter how she saw things, Baymard's own way of doing things was different from everyone else.

And now, Lucia was left in a daze.

.

If it were in Zalipnia, when royals were born, they were given a ruby-encrusted ring, which indeed confirmed their identities as royals and was a good gift with meaning to it too.

But she also wanted to give diapers and baby shows and hats like the few bridal showers and baby gifting ceremonies she attended in Baymard.

Yes. Some expensive gifts were indeed shared.

But the majority of things were daily essentials a mother would need for her child.

The expensive gifts were also good since they could be used in exchange for money if the family ever got broke.

But the other easy things in life were also important too.

More importantly, she wanted to give the little princess a unique gift that would make the little princess remember her?

What should she give?

Ahhhhhh!

So confusing!

Landon looked at her in amusement: "Alright. Alright. I'm still here for another 2 weeks. So you've got time."

Lucia nodded while still deep in thought about the gift she would leave.

An entire week has already passed since her father, and the other Zalipnians had left the Holy Land.

So now, they were more or less used to the Baymardians too.

And when the treaty signing matter was confirmed, Landon quickly prepared to leave 2 weeks from now.

Of course, he would be going back with 4/5th the number of ships he came with.

The other ships would patrol around Zalipnia in case more Adonis ships head this way.

As planned prior to their leaving Baymard, several more Baymardian ships should be arriving in precisely 2 weeks.

At least, they didn't need to worry about Hell's gate since the mating time for those creatures should've passed too.

.

Anyway, a majority of the ships coming were massive fuelling ships.

They were to fuel the remaining ships for a while and head straight back to Baymard.

And at the same time, more Baymardian units would arrive alongside these fuelling ships to take over some duties from those leaving.

With the treaty about to get signed, Landon had already known that they would have to be stationed around the shores of Zalipnia for at most a year.

After that, The Zalipnians should start learning how to stand on their feet too.

Of course, by then, even if he withdrew the Navy ships around, there would still be Baymardian soldiers stationed in every corner to help out when they could.

Additionally, when the treaty got signed, he could also allow them to use the current catapult and siege weapons privy to all U.N members.

That's right.

Once in the U.N, the empire or nations could all come together, share and come up with these broad ideas to protect their empires.

Moreover, during this time, chosen Zalipnians would be training in Baymard as soldiers.

And by the time he wanted to withdraw the forces across the waters, these soldiers would come back and start reshaping Zalipnia.

Of course, he would only allow 2 or 3 Baymardian ships to patrol, just in case.

But it wouldn't be like the numerous ships around now.

They only came with large numbers for this war.

And now that it was over, he couldn't possibly leave all so many of them here, no?

Even now, he still planned to take 4/5th away from here, leaving just enough to be able to counter more attacks from any incoming ships.

Yes. Right now, the enemy didn't even know that Zalipnia was free from their control.

So the enemy ships that do head here should be those bringing messages or performing more minor duties.

They shouldn't be aware of anything.

Meaning it would take even up to another year for them to know or notice the strangeness here. After all, just sailing across the waters took months.

Not to talk of allowing any messages to travel on land and reach the decision-makers.

Sigh... Communication and Transportation were the greatest reasons why Baymard would always remain on top.

By the time the enemy noticed and even planned to send battle troops, more than a year should've gone by.

So for now, they didn't need to leave a big force around the shores.

No. They just needed enough to take down any small units of Adonis followers here to carry out little missions.

.

Well, that was how Landon planned to handle things for the next year or so.

In 2 weeks, he would be heading back.

But for now, it was time to properly sign the Treaty.
