Chapter 268 Mission Preparations

Only a day had passed since Santa’s dramatic exit from Baymard.

The dude was crying and waving a blue handkerchief towards them, as he set sail into open waters.

What a strange guy!

.

Today, Landon had decided to start prepping for his missions A.S.A.P.

First, he wanted to see Lucius and plan out his attacks on those camps.

And after that, he had a hospital appointment with Adrian.... he had to treat Adrian’s Appendicitis.

.

Landon quickly made his way towards the Police headquarters, and into Lucius’ office.

Yes.. Lucius was also the Chief-of-Police of the whole station, so one could imagine how busy the dude was.

After speaking for a while, Lucius had gotten the full gist about these missions.

.

\"Hm... I think it’s a good idea.

It’ll be good for giving the men more field experience.

And if we do succeed, then we’ll be able to add our military forces by a massive fold.\" Lucius said, while looking at all the maps.

From how detailed they were, he could see that the training estates were all in the same cities as the underground slave camps.

This was perfect!

.

In truth, Landon had planned to stop taking in more slaves.

But since these training camps were literally within the same cities as the slave camps..... Landon felt like it would be cruel to leave those slaves behind.

And from his last mission, he had gotten to know that most of these slaves... as well as trained knight slaves, had their families within both camps.

So in the end, he was sure that he would have to rescue them either way.

.

Well.... with more slaves, there would be more labourers to work at all the upcoming projects that he had in mind.

Some jobs needed him to hire jundreds of people on the spot, and almost everyone in Baymard had fixed jobs..... except for the graduates.

So more man power would always be a beneficial.

.

For example, if he wanted to start running an amusement park from scratch.... Hands down, he would need to hire at least 800 people on the spot for both working shifts.

They would be needed to check all the equipments daily and hourly, run the park and so on.

So where was he supposed to get so many at once, when most people already had fixed jobs?

New industrial ideas require a lot of people.

.

These were Baymards early development stages... hence they needed all the help that they could get.

And with more treaties signed.... that would mean that more empires, countries and continents would want their goods.

So in essence, Baymard would be supplying worldwide at a fast rate.

Hence labourers would always be needed.

.

But even if the entire world balanced off technologically, Jobs would always be created... as new ideas from youths and so on, would be invented as well.

Since they’re paired, 2 teams and sail together towards one Coastal city.

From there, they would follow the trail of the fork om the road..... and later, one team would split to the left, and the other to the right.

And even if one team finishes their mission early.... they still had to wait on their ships for the other team no matter what.\"

\"Ahhh..... that way, if they waited for too long, they could simply scout the region to find out what was going on.

And if rescue was needed, then they would know how to proceed from there.\"

\"That’s the plan.\"

\"Ohhhh?... and I’m guessing you’ll be heading towards the last Coastal city right?\"

\"Yup!... after all, it’s the closest to Baymard’s shores, and I need to be here before Santa gets back.\" Landon said.

.

In essence, it would take a month for the men to sail towards the 1st Coastal region around Baymard’s shores.... which was basically Arcadina’s Northern Zone.

Arcadina was 3 times larger than Carona... so of course, just moving across it took a massive amount of time.

Looking at the 2nd camp which was located at the within Arcadina’s North-Western territory... it would take the men 3 weeks to sail there.

And for the 3rd camp which was actually within the Arcadina’s Western perimeter..... one could literally reach there in a week’s time from Baymard’s shores.

Hence Landon had chosen to deal with this 3rd camp.

.

With how much time it took for one to arrive at these camps.... it was obviously better for them to split up and do the work more effectively.

For example looking at the 1st camp... one would have to sail for a month, ride on horseback for 2 and a half weeks... attack, conquer, and then head back towards Baymard.

Bottom line, one would spend at least 3 months out there if they wanted to head on towards the 1st Coastal shores.

.

One had to know that Landon also had to conquer the camps within the empires as well.

So if he was to personally do everything himself... time would definitely run out for him.

After all, the system had given him a deadline..... and failure to do so would lead to his death.

.

As for the ships that they would use for these missions..... it would be those same ones that they had used to head back to Baymard from their last mission.

Also those crewmen who come with them, had been training Baymard’s sailors on how to use these old fashioned boats.

Hence Landon didn’t really have to worry about anything at the moment, since for this trip... he would be taking those crewmen, as well as the newly trained ones.

.

\"The question now is, when are you leaving?\"

\"I think a week from now will do.\"

\"Hmmm... not bad, you need to prepare for this one.

After all, some of the men would be away for 3 months.

But not to worry... I’ll have everything prepared immediately.\"

.

They spoke for a while more, before finally concluding everything for this upcoming mission.

\"Brat! ... I’m busy now so run along.\" Lucius teased.

\"Old man, who the hell wanted to stay here with you?

I’ll have you know that I have a very important appointment to catch.\"

\"Hmmm?.... where?\"

\"At the hospital.\"
