1421 A Dangerous Target

Ears perked to the sky, eyes subconsciously peered too widely; everyone was focused on this Platinum mission.

That is... How dangerous would it be?

The tension was high, with some subconsciously thinking of those who would be headed out for this final mission.

Such people would definitely be the strongest in the hall, bold, daring, and maybe more awe-striking than they envisioned.

Like so, many people quickly left their imaginations to run wild while listening to General Sulian.

"Platinum Taskers! The mission rank alone should tell you the immediate urgency and dangers surrounding your tasks!" Sulian stated while giving a hard sweeping look to the crowd.

Of course, they know!

Everyone knew just how deadly this tank was!

"Your task is to gather intel and find all hidden and public bases, fortresses, pleasure homes and properties, training estates, and properties belonging to your target.

For now, all of you are forbidden to monitor the target's movements. It's speculated that the target has some unique ability. And for all we know, this skill might be able to spit you all out. So stick to your primary goal

Because of how strong and dangerous the target and his men are, your mission is far more difficult than it looks like on the surface!...

Target Locations: Lingingburg, Veinitta and Dafaren, Veinitta!"

Sulian's words resounded in the hall

.

Gather intel?

Many looked at one another, wondering how tough the target and his men in question were for the mission to be ranked as Platinum.

Of course, they didn't count the mission rank evaluation, feeling that there should be something tricky or special about the case.

It can also be shown that the security within these places would be terribly tight.

And now, entering with no Baymardian technology to assist them, they would have to rely on their instincts and skills.

No night vision glasses, nothing to alert them of assassins various feet away.

For all they know, while swooping in from a distance, they could be shot and killed, making it the end of them.

But of course, as special forces assigned to these tasks, their skill level was unquestionably sharp.

Spotting assassins should be a simple feat for them, especially when they too knew advanced assassin moves, blending like one in nature.

They were almost trained as Baymardian Assassins, having the perfect combo of Baymardian techniques, ancient assassin skills, and various ones developed by his majesty himself.

Additionally, it should be noted that most of them headed out were Shaolins.

To become one in nature was a walk in the park for them.

But just because they were skilled didn't mean that they shouldn't be careful.

Why?

Because though not as powerful as Morgany or those from Lampe, Veinitta wasn't too far back in their strength, technique, and power.

.

Again, from Landon's personal experience, when in Dafaren, he was quick to recognize how superior their weapons were.

Brutal!

Though people had special blacksmith formulas and other secrets to compact and make their weapons devastatingly frightening.

They could even make a weapon that looked similar to the Modao Saber.

The combo of spear and longsword was very eye-catching.

And its weight alone couldn't be handled by Pyno's men.

Many people in Pyno wouldn't be able to swing it correctly since it should be 4 times heavier than an ordinary weapon.

But did you see those in Veinitta?

They were carrying and using their weapons about as though holding feathers.

Once again, Landon would like to draw similarities from Goku in Dragon ball, who were weights all day long, even when fighting.

In the end, didn't this show that those Veitts had managed to train and build their strength to a far superior level than those in Pyno?

.

Such weapons not being in Pyno showed that those here didn't know how to forge them.

The forging method should be a secret formula.

And even back on earth, some cold forging techniques had long been lost with history.

Historians did have the actual swords from people of the past.

But for the life of them, no matter how much they tried to recreate some of these swords and sabers, they just couldn't do it!

These were some of the mysteries that the ancients took with them.

And for good reasons.

After all, in medieval times, Forging techniques were a nation's secret. And anyone caught giving out such information would be put to death, no questions asked.

The blacksmiths who knew these techniques were all housed by the nobles in various camps.

Common blacksmiths couldn't know this.

And what made Landon shudder a bit was how much they affected the Modao Saber.

Back on earth, it was recorded that General Li Siye from the Tang Dynasty had sliced both a rider and its horse in one full swing.

That is, there was almost no resistance when the blade touched its opponent.

It cut through them like butter.

Both the heads of the rider and his horse fell to the ground like nothing!

.

Bottom line, the Veitts had stronger raw power, stronger techniques, stronger weapons, stronger horses, and even stronger security.

Don't look at his earlier situation back when he reached Tilda.

The only reason they were able to get things rolling so smoothly was that, for one, it was a fast operation. Go in, go out.

Secondly, they had the help of advanced weaponry and gadgets to launch surprise and confusing attacks.

But now, the battlefield has changed.

Those going for the Platinum mission would be all alone with no advanced technology, only surviving in similar manners that others in this world did.

And what's more, they would be going onto deadly territories.

In there, they could get poisoned, stabbed, shot by archers, head-sliced, tortured without end, or even sold into slavery to another distant location where they, the Baymardians, might not be able to find or reach.

And finally, if they ever got surrounded, it might also result in a fight to the death!

Platinum rank.

Tsk...

The dangers involved were unfathomable!
