--Baymard--
.
’System.... can you at least tell me how that Ghostly Prince guy looks like?’
’Host, I cannot!..... So stop asking.’
’_’
.
Landon was thoroughly stumped with this stupid system.
He had just finished one of the side-missions (during Adrian)..... and soon the treaty signing one would also be completed as well.
Now that left him with the assimilation of Nopline’s army, and that Ghostly prince one.
.
Every side mission was clear and straight to the point.... except the one about that Ghostly dude.
Like what’s up with all the mystery?
He had no clue on how the guy actually looked like, as well as no information on the dude at all?
.
Whether the dude was a peasant, a noble or a slave somewhere..... how would he be able find him?
Oh God!!!... if he was a peasant, then Landon felt like he was doomed.
And that was because no one bothered to know about a peasant’s last name.... so looking for him would be extremely hard to do.
Plus... do you know how many people actually live within the Pyno continent?
It was like finding a needle in a Haystack.
.
At least if it was a slave, Landon would have a higher chance finding him from doing all these missions.
As for Nobility..... sigh, Landon had paid for several teleportation trips to the Capital and 2 other major cities these past few nights.
And do you know what he found?
Absolutely nothing!
No one had heard of this Ghostly Prince guy.... Not even those from the Palace.
Landon felt like crying.
.
’Host should just give up on asking this system.
Like this system has said, the Ghostly prince will find you..... the system thinks.’
’You think?..... So what happens to me if you’re wrong?’
’Then the host will die at the end, and this system will get a new host!’
’_’
.
As Landon thought about that Damn Ghostly prince, he quickly made his way towards one of the military’s largest briefing halls.
Today, he was going to give them a detailed layout of their mission.
.
For these missions, since the men would be heading towards 5 different cities.... Landon had chosen all 3 of Major general’s, alongside him and Captain Billy Vein to head these operations.
And each of them, will be leading teams of 800..... making a total of 4,003 soldiers leaving for this mission.
Of course Captian Trey was staying this time, as he would assist Lucius in protecting Baymard during their absence.
.
\"Are the men all seated?\"
\"Yes your majesty!\"
\"Good!... now, lead the way.\"
\"Alright!
Within each envelope.... each of you should have 8 documents within them.
▪5 Maps
▪A detailed description of the general mission.
What role you’ll all play individually.... whether you’d be rescuing the slave knights or the women.
▪What specific roles you will play..... like guarding one of the entrances that leads to the women’s underground camp.
▪And a detailed list of things that you all will have to look out for.
Please..... If you’re missing any of the documents listed, then please notify us immediately.\"
As Landon spoke, the men quickly opened their envelopes to verify if everything was in order.... as they wanted to be fully prepared before they departed.
.
\"Now, if you all look at your maps... you’ll quickly realise that some of the cities you’re heading to, all share the same Coastal cities.
So..... Blue Eagle! Red Scorpio!
You both would sail together towards the first Coastal city.
As for the White Fangs and squad Death Star.... you both will sail alongside each other towards the second Coastal city.
And of course, the Crimson Dragons will head on towards the third Coastal city.\"
.
Landon briefed the men on the mission for an entire 1 and a half hour... as they also spoke about what they should do if they got caught, how they could leave trails, signals and modern messages for their comrades to find them and so on.
\"Remember!!
Before you all leave, I want everything except for the maps returned back.
You can do this by giving these items back to Army General Lucius’ secretary.
And anyone who fails to do so, will not be permitted to leave Baymard.
The Dateline for returning these documents is on Thursday the 16th at 4.PM.\"
\"__\"
.
In essence, when the men gave back those documents.... their names would be ticked off a certain list.
And just before boarding for the trip, there would be roll call using only the list of names that had been ticked off.
In this way, only those who obeyed the rules would leave for the mission.
.
As the men listened on attentively, as they quickly scribbled down the dateline, so as to avoid any mistakes.
\"Now, some of you might be out for 3 to 4 months... so each team will be given a hefty sum, depending on how long your trip will be.
This money will cover your feeding and all other expenditures as well.... this also includes the purchase of extra ships.
Any questions?\"
\"__\"
.
The men asked questions for an hour more.... and finally the meeting was finally over.
\"Alright men, spend these last few days saying goodbye to your loved ones.
Because 4 days from now, we’ll be setting sail!!\"
.
One should know that missions were truly unpredictable.
What if some of them died there?
It was better to say goodbye to their new family members, new loved ones, children, girlfriends and so on... before they embarked in on this dangerous trip.
The same could be said for Landon.
He had to spend time with Lucy, his mom and everyone else before leaving Baymard for the next month or so.
Plus.... how could he miss Baymard’s first car show?
