Chapter 1562: Let The Game"s Begin!
Din!
The first formation line docked quietly, with everyone jumping down the many string ropes onto the docks.
Backs arched, they reached for their weapons while hastily running towards the sandy sh.o.r.es.
3 minutes tops.
Everyone was out.
And the s.h.i.+ps in the first formation line sailed sideways, giving room for the next formation line to dock.
Below, a few were waving frantically.
"Hurry...Hurry... Hurry!"
Their hushed voices bellowed.
And at the center of some s.h.i.+ps, the men pulled open a ma.s.sive wooden trap door, also taking out the metal covering underneath it. This hole led straight down to the floor where all heavy weapons were stored
Below, several men had tied ropes to the ends of the Siege Ballistas.
"Pull! Pull! Pull!..."
No one said a word, letting their muscles do the talking.
Veins popping, body explosive with power, everyone felt their swollen and bulging. Soon, they group out the first wave of siege weapons onto the deck and down to the docks.
Horses?
They didn"t think they would need them. In their eyes, they came here fully prepared to steal the Baymardian vehicles and use them during war.
Though the reports say only the Baymardians and their treaty-signed friends could learn how to drive vehicles, how could they, the power Morgany, be any worse than these people?
Impossible!
They were supreme, and that was that.
So the matter of bringing horses was definitely out of the question.
Additionally, if the enemy chased them, the vehicles would far surpa.s.s their horses" speed, according to the reports.
One could say they might be fortunate to hide in the many forest regions within the city. But during that time, the enemy would only use it to surround the place, trapping them completely.
So it wasn"t a very good plan.
Their only way to beat the speed was to steal and use vehicles.
They"ve driven horses, manned s.h.i.+ps, and even rode carriages... So how hard can it be for geniuses such as them?
(?~?)
Of course, though they wouldn"t be riding horses per se, they still had horses available to use in pulling their many siege weapons.
After all, until they stole the vehicles, they had to leave a way out for themselves, no?
.
Clang. Clang. Clang. Clang...
Several people carefully rolled the weapons of ma.s.s destruction down, while others had already surrounded the guard posts, keeping a close watch.
That"s right. Even though their leader had checked out of habit, they still had to do the same.
"My liege... We"ll soon be ready to make our first move." One of his commanders reported in a hushed tone.
"Hmm..." Red Beard hummed, knowing they had to at least get 5/10th of the men down the s.h.i.+ps before they began their first wave.
Look left, look right. Many were already in formation. And once he gave the final go-ahead, his men would be ready to break in with full force!
"No black powder series until our cover is blown."
There was a ma.s.sive towering metal gate adjacent the docks. This was the only gate connecting them to the inside.
Over the time at sea, they had collected several locks Baymard sold. And his subordinates" only task was to train in separating the lock"s head from its bottom.
Since they didn"t have the key, why bother? Just break it apart before any b.l.o.o.d.y alarm goes off from it.
Red Beard felt his lock-breaking subordinates were ready. But little didn"t he know that even if Baymard were to use a physical lock, it would be the most gigantic lock one has ever seen and not anything similar to those sold to the public.
.
Tick-Tock. Tick-Tock.
For a moment, all enemies across the many districts felt proud, not knowing their every move was sewn by those gathered in the Navy quarters.
In the ma.s.sive operations room, several elite men of all ranks stood in full battle attire, watching the intruders colder.
"I have to admit they"re good. So Morgany also has Ballistas?.. If we weren"t Baymardians, this would"ve been a big problem... Especially if the firepower from their siege ballistas equals what we know for ours."
The entire room turned chilly.
These Morgs were a force to be reckoned with. No power in this world might be able to stand against them if his majesty hadn"t made Baymard strong. Thinking of it, maybe their allies would have also been helpless too.
Minister Dalia from the Ministry of National Defense, caressed her chin thoughtfully.
"Their ballistas are Impressive, no doubt about it. But I don"t think they"ll be adding black powder to them just yet."
As she spoke, she pointed at the few formations and enemy groups on the screen.
"Take a look at their performance. If they want to keep their attacks a surprise, they must want to solve the matter of entering Baymard in a hushed way. So only if forced will they likely use black powder."
"I think so too. Looking at the men at the far back, we can see 3~5 horses pulling wagons of black powder. These lots are far in the back while the ballistas are ahead. This means they have no intention of using them just yet. But we still have to be careful... Take a look at the strange sacs on everyone"s waist... I suspect this is black powder!"
What does this show? It means these people still had backup if there was a case of their wagon being destroyed.
Cunning... What a cunning group.
Too bad they wouldn"t be getting into Baymard anytime soon.
But this was indeed a challenge. (?^?)
At least 900,000 people were divided into the 4 district sh.o.r.es, meaning there were at least 38,000 enemy fighters in each district.
Everyone ma.s.saged their elbows thoughtfully.
If they managed this right, victory was guaranteed!
"Call in all forces... Steady for aims and wait for the signal."
Now, the enemy was moving towards the fence.
Hehehehehehe~
The big figures in the group coupled playfully.
Let the games begin!
