Chapter 870 - The Mignight Battle Begins!

"Go, go, go, go, go!"

In a flash, everyone was rushed like crazy.

All team's assembled and headed out for battle.

Some air force baskets could fit 5 people in it, while others could fit 3 people.

The biggest size that they brought out was that which could fit 10 people at once.

There were 12 massive steel van-like trucks that transported several hot air balloon baskets and other parts needed for flight.

Many of Henry's men looked at the balloons in awe rather than shock.

After all, they had somewhat gotten over their shock these past few days since the airforce teams mapped the territories around the Capital using the balloons.

Again, this was the thing that his majesty Landon used to bring their master and a few others back when he rescued them.

So they had already heard of it, even though they found it somewhat unbelievable.

How can man fly?

At first, they felt like it was a joke or something, but at that time, they had no choice but to believe because their master's sudden appearance was too magical.

A journey meant to be done in a few months was completed in a few hours.

So wasn't that magic in itself?

They looked at the mysterious contraction and felt even more determined to visit Baymard.

Unlike before, those chosen to train there were now overly excited.

Good!

They get to visit the strange empire called Baymard.

Looking at the sight before them still left them in a daze.

No matter how many times they saw this strange floating ball, it was a truly groundbreaking site.

It was simply amazing!

11:45 P.M

"Teams Alpha, Beta, Omega, Gamma, Z, Hechi and Delta.

What are your duties?"

"Surround the enemy and give them hell!"

"Yes!

All seven teams will surround all 7 enemy hideouts belonging to first Prince Ulrich Tudor, second prince Winston Tudor, third prince Bonivier Tudor, 4th prince Joffrey Tudor, 2nd princess Eldora Tudor, Duke Bulkington and Duke Osias.

Hit them with everything that we've got.

Is that understood?"

"Affirmative, Sir!"

"Good!

Teams, Dasher, Prancer, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Rudolf?

What are your duties?"

"Cover the roads and perimeters around the city, and keep a lookout.

And if necessary, cause distractions in case of emergencies, sir!"

"Hm.

Airforce Units, do you know your tasks?"

"Keep a lookout below and provide battle assistance just as planned, sir!"

"Excellent!

Everyone else is to remain here and either protect the base or get to a brief nap.

Because come 4:30 A.M, it will be time to rise, eat and prepare for victory.

The gates open at 6 A.M.

And we must be there!

Now, those on tonight's mission only have 5 more minutes to get in the vehicles and balloons.

It's time to move out!"

"Yes, sir!"

With that, Operation Midnight officially began.

Henry and Landon hopped onto one of the hot air balloons alongside the soldiers.

Of course, a few soldiers on today's mission stayed within the base in one of the vehicles that acted as their control station (tower) for tonight's operation.

.

Vrrrmmmmmmmm!

Vincent Otheno looked out the window in disbelief.

How could they be moving this fast?

Heavens!

Wasn't this faster than his highness' famous stallion?

How could a distance of several hours be done in minutes?

Vincent touched the inside of the vehicle in a daze while convincing himself that he was truly here.

His heart leaped with an indescribable amount of joy, and his body began trembling to the little vibrations from the vehicle as it bumped along the uneven roads.

He looked out the window and saw several tiny glowing dots floating easy up in the air.

If it were before, they would think that it was some moving star or something, but now, he knew that there were amazing men from Baymard who seemed to know everything.

Just interacting with them these few days made his blood boil as they broadened his mind to a whole new level.

During the training battle, they beat them hands down, which left them holding their heads in shame.

Some even took 15 of them at once and beefed up victoriously with no hassle.

For the first time, they truly saw how lacking they were.

And the way these Baymardians were more disciplined made them feel like they were on some crucial mission to save humanity.

More so, Vincent liked how they gave each other team names and carried out duties as if they could read each other's minds.

He felt like he'd like to be in that kind of team.

And coupled with what he saw today, he was more than happy to be selected as one of the trainees that would go to Baymard.

Tonight, he swore to do his best!

.

Vrrrmmmmmmmm.

In no time, they were already around the perimeters for T2, which was the hideout for Winston's backup.

Bam.

The vehicle doors opened, and just like that, all units stealthily jumped off.

Vincent quickly got down and followed the lead while remaining vigilant.

Even though he didn't understand all the hand movements they did, he understood the basic ones taught countless times to him over the past few days.

A palm means stop, creaking an O-sign with his thumb and index finger means okay, or the coast was clear.

He just understood a total of 5 signals only, which was enough for tonight's mission.

And if he really wanted to convey more words, he would have to create the opportunity to do so without giving off his position.

His team had a total of 7 units, all working on this base.

And he was in Unit 6, which was one of the rescue units.

Lieutenant Jennie looked at them one more time: "Everyone, you know what to do. We have just 45 minutes to get all hostages out undetected before the other units take action. Now, let's go!"

Vincent nodded and followed along until they were extremely close to the enemy's base.

Vincent's eyes flickered with a strange light.

It was time.
