Chapter 1955 Go Time!
Wee-woh! Wee-woh! Wee-woh!~
So loud… What was going on? The nights were busy within the city, a little too busy that it made several people rise. Of course, Camilla and her goons were already out of their residences, heading straight for the Baymardian prisons as planned. Too bad they left a little too early, or else they would have turned on the TV and watched the live stream that was slowly starting. "Eh? What is this?" [Emergency News… Please turn on your televisions. There will be no work tomorrow, as it will be a holiday.] [Emergency News… Please, turn on your televisions. There will be no work tomorrow, as it will be a holiday.]
Every channel was broadcasting this matter, so it didn't matter which one they turned on. But most people would typically rush to the top 10 Baymardians channels. Camilla saw the alerts on her phone, but didn't think too much of it. Know that in Baymard, she would typically get emergency alerts even at night concerning certain matters, like alerts telling citizens about extreme weather charges, dangerous people, and so on. So receiving alerts was nothing peculiar. Of course, Baymard also sent out alerts for good news too. Wasn't it 2 months ago that they received holiday alerts because of the Christening and blessing ceremony in the Cathedral for both princes? Seeing the news that hinted about a holiday, Camilla and the other spies who were already on the run outside, quickly muted their phones and couldn't care less about anything else but their missions. Heh. They sneered, feeling it funny that Baymard was busy preparing for holidays, not knowing that war was before them. Meanwhile, several people saw the messages and rose up from their sleep, thinking that they could stay up a bit longer and investigate the matter since tomorrow was a holiday, no? .
Unlike Camilla, some people had the habit of detailly checking all sorts sent out. Very soon, they turned on the channel and then–
Pak! Several batteries flew out from impact once many remotes fell to the ground all over Baymard. Ring!!!~
"Old Lyore, you bastard! Get up and look at the news now!" "Mary-Anne, quick! Quick, check the news!!" Ring!!!~
Now, many were up, wide and awake, even within the palace walls. People sat beside the TVs, watching with heavy faces when seeing the insane amount of ships the sky drones captured and relayed to those on ground. Know that the reporters were now pointing the camera to the images relayed, allowing the world to see. War! (Q0Q)
… Even Santa, who was in the palace during this time, had to jump high, a little annoyed that his buddy Landon didn't take him out to battle. Dammit! "After all my training over the years, wasn't this the right time to show off my progress to my buddy?" For a moment, the entire Baymard was now wide awake, watching the battle infield. They were also grateful that Landon could showcase the battle, so that if things eventually turn out bad, they can follow the message written on the TV that said evacuation will begin if things prove dire.
They knew that for their beloved Baymard to say this, meant the enemy was quite a tough big to crack. Even nobles, commanders and Royals from other empires, all felt the army size they were seeing far out on the seas was just too great to overcome. But for some reason, Santa never felt fear. 'Little Brother Landon… how will you all handle things?'
If it were he, Santa, Benjamin Hamilton, how would … Yes, it all looked scary. And several enemy and ally forces were thinking of how easy it would be to take down Baymard with such a huge number against them. But who said Baymard was going down without a strong fight? Gary, Josh, Trey, and several others stood in wait, out in the dark. Landon's face was the gloomiest of all among them. Picking up his Walkie-talkie, he relayed a simple message.
"Understand this. No ships should touch base on our lands." Right! Several people nodded vigorously.
What they needed to do was get these ships at a close enough range to the shores. According to their battle plans, X marks the spot. The enemy was sailing in a Circle formation. They had to ensure that the ship at the very center of the formation was at the X-spot before they could make their move. Are you daft? Do you think they will allow the ships to dock and then allow none of the enemies touch land? Know that even if the electric fence protects the shores, departing Baymard from the shores, once enough dead bodies pile up, others will take advantage and find a way to cross over. If millions and millions of enemies touch land at once, there are bound to be at least 40% of them that succeed to go past their barriers and their shoulders fighting hard. Again, who is going to allow these people to land their ships so they can bring out siege weapons? The holy Core they possessed enhanced their Ballista weapons. So no! Even if Baymard already had more enhanced electric fences around the walls, he still didn't want to take those chances.
This was why they had to fight in a place where the enemy would be at a disadvantage… – The waters. But they wanted waters not too close yet not too far from Baymard's shores too. Landon would never allow them sink the many slaves rowing those ships. "Air Force units, get ready to Go!" "Submarine units, wait for the signal."
"Ground teams, stand by…"
Several people in the air, on the ground and underwater all had their protective suits, ready for action the second the orders rang.
At the same time, several dogs in full protective gear were also ready to plunge into the sandy beach shores once the action hits. .
Tick-tock, tick-tock.~
Everyone waited in absolute silence, as the camouflaged sky drones captured the incoming enemy formation. And soon,... X marked the spot. Great!
Go Time!!!
