Chapter 859 - Mission Impossible: Capital Nation
While everyone was swarming towards Baymard, Landon and his team on the other hand, had just docked on the sh.o.r.es.
Vrrrrmmmmmmm.
The military vehicles and tanks popped out of the s.h.i.+p swiftly, leaving all those within the tiny coastal town utterly confused and excited.
What the h.e.l.l did they just see?
Everyone ran towards the dock as if they were waiting for the president or something.
"Look! Look!
It"s a train.
Ahhhh!
I can"t believe it came to our tiny coastal town."
"Wawwww!
So this is actually a train?"
"No idiot!
You all are wrong.
This is obviously what they call an escalator."
"Really?
Old man Kang, you really know so much."
"Of course I do.
I saw it in the newspaper.
But I"ll tell you all a secret.
I know their King Landon."
"Impossible!
How can you know him?"
"Hmph!
You doubting midgets don"t know how great I am.
As children, don"t you know that it"s rude to doubt your elders?
Heh.
Do you know that I personally gave him advice some years back?
As the mighty scholar that I am?
I taught him the timetable and even gave him the idea to make books.
What?
You don"t believe me?"
"Old Man Kang, we don"t believe it.
Wait.
Are you sure that you"re not hallucinating instead?"
"Yeah.
Are you sure that something inside your head didn"t get loose?"
"Sigh... Old man Kang has finally gone crazy.
Call the healer."
Old man Kang: (-_-)
.
Everyone excitedly watched the scene before them.
Those who had never gone to Baymard couldn"t help but feel very blessed to witness this scene.
It only made them more determined to go there instead.
Sure enough.
The newspapers, posters, and pamphlets didn"t lie.
Baymard was awesome!
The vehicles and tanks lined up across the sh.o.r.es until everything needed for the journey was taken out of the s.h.i.+p.
With that, the s.h.i.+p headed back into the seas as planned.
They were to go and stay on standby until the scheduled day that Landon planned to return.
Henry"s siblings should already be in the Capital by now, waiting for their father to die.
He reckoned that they too went early to make preparations for the upcoming battle.
Landon smiled and said at the overly excited crowd.
He didn"t bother whether they could be him or not because no one would be able to report the matter to the enemies this quick.
At least, it would take several months for the news to reach the enemy if they had spies around.
While he on the other hand, would be in the Capital in a matter of days.
With this advantage, what was there to fear?
Additionally, one should know that several other teams of soldiers and marines were already within Deiferus, dealing with all bases belonging to the temple.
Well, all except for the base closest to the Capital.
They were to only deal with that one on the same day that Landon would attack the Capital.
Everything would be cleared up all at once, making things easier for Henry.
Plus, he would be able to finish this G.o.d d.a.m.n mission once and for all!
Anyway, Landon and his team had decided to use the main roads for now until they were somewhat close to Henry"s hideout near the Capital city.
Once they were at a distance that was roughly 2 weeks away by horseback, they would leave the public roads and use the carriage trails within the forests.
With that, they were off!
.
Vrrrrrrmmmmmmmm.
Landon and his right-hand men went over their plans again, just to be sure that they weren"t neglecting any possible danger.
Within the vehicle were all team leaders who would play key roles in the battle to come.
The vehicle was as silent as a graveyard, with the occasional sounds of the vehicle.
Everyone patiently turned their attention to their monarch calmly.
Landon cupped his hands under his chin, with a straight face that was void of any emotions.
"Gentlemen, Ladies... The time for war has finally come.
The art of war in itself is to win with minimum effort.
We must create a sense of urgency and desperation for our enemy, while for us on the other hand, it would seem like an ordinary walk in the Park.
That said, we have 2 distinctive missions; Protect The future King Henry and defeat all enemies on sight.
Henry notably has a lot of siblings, but the most ambitious ones are; the first Prince Ulrich Tudor, the second prince Winston Tudor, the third prince Bonivier Tudor, the 4th prince Joffrey Tudor and finally, the 2nd princess Eldora Tudor.
Each of them would most likely come with their army.
This means that they would probably keep a portion of their army somewhere around the outskirts of the Capital since it would be too suspicious for their troops to go in."
.
Lieutenant Vlad nodded while listening to Landon.
"Your majesty, like you said, there are several scenarios about this matter.
Either they are slowly sneaking their men into the city in batches, or they are waiting for the day King Julius Tudor dies before they burst into action.
But these groups of people will undoubtedly be their backup.
Their main power fraction should"ve already settled into the city by now.
Either way, we can a.s.sume that every single enemy has its primary team and its backup team that would surround the Capital."
Captain Glindor nodded in agreement: "Yes. They should have 2 main teams. One on the inside and one on the outside. But a majority of their forces will be on the outside, surrounding the Capital city."
Glimdor spoke while looking at the map again.
"Your majesty, looking at the terrain here, I think we should send the air forces to check this part out too.
They might have a base around or choose to camp out here instead."
"Hmmm.
You might be right.
Earlier on, we had circled 7 suspicious locations that they might be hiding in.
But these might not be accurate or might be too few.
That"s why I think we should expand the search perimeters for the air forces."
Everyone immediately approved of the suggestion.
Earlier on, the reason why they limited the range around the Capital was because for starters, the Capital city alone was ridiculously high.
So they wanted the air force teams to focus on drawing and coming up with an accurate city map with roads.
They needed to know what paths to take if they were in a bind, or where to go to trap their enemies.
Sure, the air force teams would be there to aid them if ever they were in a pinch, just as if they were Tom Cruise in a mission impossible movie, with Benji guiding.

[Take a left and run to the Tavern on your right.
Ok, yes.
There"s a bridge there.
Get to it, cross it, make a left and go 3 blocks along the 4th Road.
Wait!
Incoming enemies ahead.
Turn around and head left.
....]
Just like that, the air forces were very essential within this Enormous city.
More importantly, they wanted the layout of the Palace.
That was a must!
