On the open waters, time flew by very quickly with the soldiers, marines and Navy performing their scheduled duties, as well as training hard while aboard the sh.i.p.s.
Everything was going according to plan.
.
'Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!'
Landon stared at the waters from his balcony deep in thought.
This was the first mission that he was going in somewhat blindly.
The system had given him a ton of information about Marlo Jones and the pirates on the island, as well as all other potential dangers that were on the island.
But that was it.
Unlike other times where the system would tell him where every enemy was positioned, this time, he didn't get such information.
So if an enemy was hiding behind a wall, trapped door or any other place ready to ambush them, he wouldn't know.
In fact, he didn't know which camp his target was on the island, talk less of knowing the exact building where his target was too.
Over the past 4 days, the system had only told him about the things that Marlo had done so far like killing a spy and eating his flesh.
He had actually never seen Marlo because he didn't put a tracker on him yet.
He could only monitor something if he had placed one of the system's trackers on it, or if he had scanned the place.
If he could monitor things just like that, then he would've looked into the Zalipnian's matters ages ago.
He needed to first meet Marlo and place a tracker on him before he could have the privilege of monitoring him through the system.
Likewise, he hadn't been to Magoon island before, so he couldnt add the territory onto the system for monitoring.
All he could do was pay for information from his point grubber system.
.
Anyway, he didn't know the exact positions of the Marlo and the other pirates.
But what made him a little happy was that the system would alert him if any pirates left the island.
So the moment their feet left sandy shores and touched the waters, he would be alerted.
And when their mission was done, the system would scan the island again and tell him if any pirates were still secretly hiding away, which was very helpful to him.
But, the catch was that the system would only do this for the pirates and others who weren't the target.
Yup!
When it came to Marlo Jones, he had to figure things out on his own.
So the target could hide in some trap door until they left, making his mission a total failure, resulting in him dying as punishment.
Bottom line, he didn't know the positioning of any person, animal, toxic plants or nature-derived traps like sinking mud on the island.
He and his team were going in blindly.
Luckily, the system had given him a picture of what Marlo truly looked like.
So if they spotted him, then they would be able to take him down without any mercy!
.
'Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!'
Landon pulled himself back to reality, placed his drink on the balcony table and stepped into his Captain style-Suite, made for those with the highest rankings aboard the ship.
'Catchach!'
"Your majesty, everyone is already gathered on deck waiting for your command."
"Hmm.
I'll be right over."
With that, he stepped into the other room within the suite and informed Lucius, who was currently reading a book.
Mitchen was already on the deck waiting for them.
With that, the duo wasted no more time and left promptly because in 15 minutes, they'll be arriving at their desired location.
From the Ship's radar, they could already see the island and estimate a good enough place to stay on stand-by on the open waters.
As planned, they couldn't dock too close to the island, as the enemy might spot them and make preparations.
Also, this distance was good so that any other sh.i.p.s passing by would not be too suspicious of them.
It was normal for sh.i.p.s to dock and catch fish for meals while sailing.
So it was a good disguised technique to keep themselves undercover if they were actually seen by passing sh.i.p.s.
After all, who knew if these sh.i.p.s were associated with the pirate organization?
They planned to keep this operation on the low.
So they didn't want to make any suspicious moves.
Standing on the deck, were the soldiers, Marines and the Navy who weren't monitoring or controlling the sh.i.p.s all stood perfectly lined up in neat rows and columns in wait.
And on the side stood Mitchen and a few others with higher ranks within the Navy, Marines and Army.
Of course, there were 8 sh.i.p.s assigned for the mission.
So those who weren't on Landon's ship still assembled on their ship decks.
But this time, they were listening to Lanson through a speaker instead.
Landon looked at everyone and nodded.
Very good!
Now they could begin operations.

"Today, our mission is simple; infiltrate the island, take down the target and pirates, investigate and release those in the dungeons and reclaim any wealth or vital doc.u.ments and information on the island.
Today, our enemies are pirates who don't fight fair.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'m-the-king-of-technology_15071779505679105/the-battle-is-on!_52237194345115657 for visiting.
They will grind you, and do their best to win no matter what.
Likewise, nature will be a big stumbling block for you all.
But, if you're in any predicament, release the smoke signal and those nearby will assist you.
It's going to be a dangerous mission that will put your skills to the test over and over again.
But I'm confident that each and every one of you is up to the task.
So, are all you ready?!"
"Yes sir!!"
"Good!
We have only 8 minutes left before we dock.
So all air forces should get the hot air balloons ready for take-off.
You have just 1 hour tops to survey the island from above and detailly report back your findings.
As for everyone else, you know what to do.
Now, go!"
"Roger that, sir!"
'Din! Din! Din! Din! Din!'
Everyone scrambled away hurriedly while Landon, Mitchen, Lucius and some of the other Navy, Marine and army leaders went into the massive control room on the ship.
The battle has just begun!
