860 Arrival At The Base
Everyone agreed to widen the air force scope around the outskirts of the Capital city.
Earlier on, they planned to send most air forces to focus their attention within the city.
They did that because unlike the woods, the cities had too many alleyways, roads and whatnot.
It was more complex and interconnected, so it required more eyes to properly take down everything.
Of course, unlike the operations on Magoon island, since this one was more complex, they had chosen to use 3 nights to make the sketches.
And this time, the hot air balloons will go up from 2 A.M to 5 A.M, when most people were bound to be asleep.
Again, the sun typically came up around 7:30 A.M.
So they were good.
Anyway, they'll use these hours for the 3 days before calling it quits.
Following that, they'll use an entire day to put everything together, develop a swift plan for each team to follow and then take action.
.
With the scope around the outskirts widened, they were sure to pinpoint all locations where the enemy forces were hiding.
Without a doubt, some teams will head towards those locations to take out these forces linked to all 5 siblings of Henry.
Who knows, there might actually be more.
After all, his majesty had also said that King Julius' brothers, who had children around Henry's age, were also very ambitious.
So they might end up fighting over 8 or 10 different forces.
This battle was unlike any they had faced before.
That's why it was best not to allow those in the outskirts to enter the city.
They had to separate them from those inside and tackle each group seamlessly.
As for Henry's men, they too will play a role in the battle.
They will also join the Baymardian teams because it was their right to fight for their future King.
If the soldiers did all the work and didn't allow them to make contributions, many wouldn't be able to raise their heads in future.
That's why apart from joining in on the battle, they would also join the scouts who would head to the City during the daytime.
They would be involved, but they had to stick to the plan and focus on their individual missions given to them.
Of course during this entire time, ever since Henry and his men arrived in their secret base, just as Landon had instructed, they began scouting and making taking more if several details within the city and the palace.
To know one's enemy is to win the war
Because sometimes, the best information typically came from the slaves and servants who loved gossiping about the everyday life of the royals and nobles who came to the palace.
Bottom line, everyone had a part to play in this upcoming war, especially when the enemies were so great in number.
.
"Alright.
Just as planned, when it concerned the enemies outside the city, we'll use the table and other highly explosive weapons.
We can't waste time on them, so the job needs to be done swiftly.
Kill those who resist and capture those who surrender.
Even though about 70% of enemy knights will be outside the city, our main priority is on what goes on inside the city.
Again, everyone needs to be extra careful while inside.
The streets are constantly packed with people, carriages, horses and vehicles.
So I don't want any civilians getting accidentally hurt.
Understood?"
"Of course, your majesty!
No need to even say it."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
They would never take action recklessly.
Landon knew that they would never take such risks at the expense of an innocent person's life, but as protocol, he had to remind them about it every time they went on missions.
That way, if any rogue person did otherwise and got caught, then there was no room for forgiveness!
Everyone instantly shrivelled at the cold energy leaking from Landon's body.
Their gut feeling told them that if any of the soldiers or Marines dared, he/she would find their ashes buried within enemy soil.
They couldn't help but say silent prayers for those who dared to go rogue.
Landon scoffed and withdrew his aura before smiling again.
His charming smile seemed demonic to the rest instead.
'Your majesty, we wouldn't dare, okay?
So why are you smiling creepily?'
'Your majesty, why do I get the feeling that you're imagining how you'll kill someone soon?'
Everyone took large gulps of saliva down as their spines tingled uncontrollably.
Sigh... His majesty was truly scary when he wanted to be.
.
Their meeting went on with Landon and the team leaders adding more people to the air force teams, as well as scrutinizing every possible scenario that could happen.
Well, every logical scenario.
Things like lightning striking the enemy or aliens invading were undoubtedly out of the question.
Although, Landon wouldn't inwardly rule those out because the system seemed to be addicted to making his life far worse than it was.
Everyone revised their plans for the next few days while on the road.
And before they knew it, they were close to the hideout.
The vehicles entered the forest through a secret trail that Henry had told Landon about.
By carriage and horseback, it would take at least 9 hours to get to the hideout.
But for them, it was a piece of cake.
They were before they even knew it.
Of course, the scouts who saw the vehicles deep within the forest instantly knew who they were.
After all, Landon regularly visited Henry multiple times.
So many knew of Landon's visit with his men.
They knew that the Baymardians would help Henry sit on the throne.
.
The moment they saw the vehicles, they were utterly filled with joy and quickly headed to report the news to Henry.
But with how fast the vehicles were going, they couldn't outrun the vehicles.
So Landon and the rest ended up waiting a bit outside the hideout.
As per their rules, even if they knew who Landon was, their leader still had to give the go-ahead before they could enter.
The soldiers didn't see anything wrong with it and decided to wait in the vehicles.
It wasn't like they were out there in the sun, so why should he feel bad in the vehicles?
Landon and his men chilled while snacking and drinking some beverages.
They arrived during lunchtime, so many were indeed hungry.
They chose not to eat because they knew that Henry might insist on preparing some small feast.
So wouldn't it be rude to refuse?
The men waited patiently as if they had all the time in the world.
And soon, Henry burst out on horseback excitedly.
"Brother!"
Landon looked out of his window and smiled.
"Brother."
