With everyone holding their weapons and adequately suited up, they all stayed in silence as they listened to the pre-battle speech from his majesty.
With this weather, standing out on the open deck wasn't ideal.
So Landon's words were broadcasted through all Battlesh.i.p.s, as everyone stayed where they were with their weapons at hand.
-Silence-
The silence, coupled with the tense atmosphere, placed everyone in a stern mood.
And as they listened to Landon's words, countless waves of emotions swelled their hearts and minds, all mentally preparing them for battle.
Now, the announcement was on.
[Everyone!
Today, we join forces with our Zalipnian brothers and sisters to fight for the greater good and eradicate the Adonis Followers who want to wreak havoc into the world.
Remember. Kill those who refuse to surrender! And throw those who do in the dungeons.
This is just the beginning of the war because, as you all know, the Adonis worshippers have not only conquered this city... but have conquered several other regions, right to the Capital City.
Today, we claim this city back. And tomorrow, we advance!
That said, this weather is a bloody one. So let's make this quick.
Do your best as honourable soldiers, and don't try to be heroes at the expense of your lives!
I expect all of you alive and kicking by the end of the day.
Lastly, remember that you all can't take long-range shots.
So don't make any moves unless you are very close to the enemy.
That said, the massive weaponry from the table and vehicles can be shot.
The wind wouldn't do much to them. The deviation is negligible.]
...
Everyone listened and nodded deeply.
No one wanted to kill their own comrades in this battle.
That would definitely put a psychological scar on them.
Landon looked at everyone and nodded in satisfaction.
One wrong move and they might make the biggest mistakes in their careers.
Only when they get indoors could they make such far-sighted moves.
Such was the war they were about to fight!
The good thing was that tomorrow, they estimated that things should be a lot calmer.
[Brave soldiers and warriors of Baymard and Zalipnia.
Today, we are fighting at a time that the enemy least expects it.
Now, they are blinded and can't see or make heads or tails of the situation.
This is our chance to clean off the city properly.
So go kick some ass!!]
With that, everyone's spirits surged higher as they now rushed towards the upper decks.
That's right.
A typical battleship is strictly designed to maximize space for soldiers to sleep in, train in and so on.
Of course, some might have helicopter pads and enough space for a handful of vehicles.
But for the transport of so many, they needed Navy transport sh.i.p.s here.
Olis, the transport shops also carried several popular items like basketballs, books, pens, 2-year period-expiration goods, solar vending machines, cleaning supplies, beddings, clothes, lighters, batteries, flashlights, and whatnot that the Zalipnians purchased for their people.
In short, there were several sh.i.p.s all stocked as if they were merchant sh.i.p.s.
And of course, they had stored the countless vehicles and even a few war tanks in there too.
There was also a secure and safely stored supply of patrol, spare tires, etc.
The crew, like any good crew, had navy mechanics and engineers ready for any hassles.
They knew that they might stay here for 1 or 2 months max.
So they had to bring everything, just in case some unforeseen situation happened here.
.
~Din. Din. Din. Din.~~
Very quickly, the men who were supposed to be on land all transferred to the transport sh.i.p.s and entered the vehicles within the storage regions below deck.
The vehicles had already been checked, fueled, and had all ammunition in them ready to go.
So once the ship reached land, they would drive out in an orderly fashion, heading towards their assigned regions of attack.
And yes, they were just going to head straight for the docks.
No one could see from afar in this weather.
That said, if they decided to rush back and report the matter in this deadly weather, who would be faster?
The vehicles or the scouts?
Today's weather seemed difficult but had actually given them a boost for success.
Of course, for some soldiers and marines, they had to pass through the forest to take out any scouts or people around.
Some also walled out in the open along the many footpaths.
So they wouldn't be riding in the vehicles; they would be hitching rides from the wind.
With that said, those on foot stood close to the ship's openings, ready to head out once the sh.i.p.s docked.
The transport sh.i.p.s were all protected by a few battlesh.i.p.s, just in case of emergencies.
And, of course the rest of the Navy shops would stay out in the seas, making keeping a lookout on things there too.
So no one would dare come here now, unless they were Adonis allies, worshippers, or maybe pirate spies.
Either way, the majority of Battlesh.i.p.s will stay out in the open until further notice.
Landon calmly got into one of the vehicles while Mitchen and his secretary, Winnie, calmly stood by the doors with their units.
As for Lucia, Javis, Andrew, and the rest, some were in vehicles while others were getting ready to become flying air-benders.
Alright.
Show Time!
