Chapter 749 - War Sirens
--The Capital City, Baymard--
.
Landon woke up the next day and goofed straight for the barracks.
Now that he had properly laid out his plans with Sirius and Astar, he would leave the rest to them and only show up 2 weeks from now as planned.
The attack wasn"t going to happen anytime soon, so there was nothing else for him to do.
Again, when looking at Henry"s situation in Deiferus, nothing could be done yet since Henry was on his way towards the Capital.
With that said, Landon decided to focus his attention on his own empire.
Today"s weather was hot and bright.
The bright sun rays s.h.i.+ne brilliantly on the green trees, making it seem somewhat magical.
The hummer weather brought the children out, as many licked ice cream, drank juice and ate all sorts of mouthwatering goodies as they strolled around the Capital city.
Some went shopping, while others seemed to be out on an adventure trip.
Landon drove by and looked at the scene with a smile on his face.
Baymard had really changed from why it used to be.
Of course without a doubt, Landon stopped by a drive-through and ordered a large cup of Apple juice.
With that, he left straight for the barracks.
.
"Vrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmm!"
"Catchack!"
"Pap!"
Landon got out of his vehicle and was greeted by a few superiors who were waiting for him.
"Good morning your majesty!"
"Morning Your majesty!"
"Morning!"
"Morning!
"Morning!"
Landon nodded at them and walked ahead, while they followed behind him calmly.
"Report!
Is everything ready?"
"Yes, your majesty!
All preparations have been made.
Now, we"re only waiting for your orders!"
"Good!
Ready the Special force units for action.
It"s time to see which one is the strongest!" Landon said calmly with a sly smile on his face.
With that, the superiors walked behind Landon excitedly.
Heheheheh...It was that time of the year again.
Let the games begin!
As for the game in question, well... it was more like a surprise compet.i.tion to see which special force unit is the strongest.
Why a surprise?
Because they should be prepared at all times.
Anything could happen.
That said, over the years, the barrack has been expanding exponentially, with many new sectors popping up.
District B was solely meant for the military, police and other forces in Baymard.
So with the ma.s.sive land which land, of course, each force was going to expand itself.
That was why several new military estates were built for all 5 major Special Brigades (team of 1000~5000 soldiers) in the barracks: The Black Scorpios, Red eagles, Blue Swans, Poison Lily and Cloud Fists.
There, they lived and trained differently from the rest and underwent more intense pain than the rest.
Getting into these special forces weren"t easy.
So of course it was much more work.
Again, each Brigade was led by a Brigade General and had 7~10 Battalions, which were groups of 300 or more soldiers.
Of course, there were also many platoons too.
In short, these units were typically the ones that Landon chose when sending people out for major missions.
As for minor missions like going into the newly developed territories and guarding the people, those who weren"t in the special forces could pick up those missions too.
Anyway, in order to determine which Brigade was the best, a compet.i.tion was in order.
But the trick was that none of the men chosen for the exam knew about it since it was a surprise exam.
No one knew when the examination would occur, except those above.
Oh?
You all seem overly confident about your brigades."
"Your majesty, my cloud Fist will come out on top this time.
So of course I"m confident."
"Please!
How can you guys surpa.s.s my Red Eagles?
Heh... Miriam, I didn"t know that you were such a dreamer!"
"Why do you say?
Hmph!
Ok dog, I"m too lazy to argue with you.
Just watch and see how my Blue Swan cleans you up later.
Don"t say I didn"t warn you."
"Are you both dreaming?
It"s obvious that my Poison Lily will be the winning of this year"s compet.i.tion.
So why are you both deceiving his majesty?"
"Black Scorpio!"
"Red Eagle!"
"Cloud Fists!"
"_"
Both male and female superiors argued confidently while following behind Landon.
It was time to watch the show.
.
--The Black Scorpio Brigade, District B--
.
"Din! Din! Din! Din! Din!"
The sounds of many people"s footsteps could be heard all across the ma.s.sive estate.
Sweaty soldiers were currently jogging behind their supervisor.
A normal person would"ve already fallen and panted in fatigue by now.
But not them.
They had been training their stamina ever since they got into this special brigade.
So they still held up very well even at this moment.
Of course, within the first few months here, they truly felt like they had fallen into h.e.l.l.
They were trained nonstop with no ounce of kindness.
There was even a time when their superior told them to take a break and have something to eat.
But none of them dared to do so.
After all, their devil supervisors had given them laxatives before and blamed them for relaxing their vigilance.
They didn"t know where to cry or pity themselves for not being able to beat up their supervisors.
Nonetheless, it was all worth it because when they went out on missions they clearly saw the difference between themselves and their enemies.
"What"s going on?
Are you all here to joke around?
Why are you all slowing down?
Keep up the pace!"
"Yes sir!"
"Din! Din! Din! Din! Din! Din!"
Thomas who was running beside his friend gritted his teeth and steadily followed the rest in formation.
But soon, the sounds of sirens went off.
"Toooooot!"
What"s going on?
One of the new recruits were puzzled, while the expressions of the old members changed.
Battle sounds?
Could it be?
Their eyes flashed with excitement when they heard the siren.
The yearly battle was about to begin!
