Chapter 554 Code F-103
The next day, Landon got up feeling energized and quickly made his way to the barracks.
For this mission, apart from the soldiers... Landon was also bringing some Marines as well.
One should know that the marines existed to win battles as swiftly as possible in any time of crisis.
So they could fight on land, air and sea.... alongside the soldiers, pilots and Navy.
Anyway, starting whenever there was a mission, Landon always made sure that they were included in it because they too needed the experience alongside the soldiers or Navy officers as well.
At 5:30 A.M, all army doctors, nurses, marine officers and soldiers that had been chosen for this mission immediately assembled before the heavy armour trucks for roll call.
"Sylvester Mordy!"
"Present Sir!"
"Caperon Vernoda!"
"Present Sir!"
The roll call only lasted for a few minutes, before everyone went into their designated vehicles as planned.
Before today, they had already been told what vehicle they would be staying in during the duration of their mission.... as well as a day-to-day summary of what their duties would be while they journeyed forward.
Some might have to be cooks, while others would be drivers instead.
In short, their schedule had been made into shifts that switched every 8 hours.... with everyone having at least 2 off days before they arrived at their destination.
.
For this mission, Landon had made 5 teams that had a perfect blend of both marines and soldiers.
As for the leaders of each team, he had appointed himself, 2 Navy officers and 2 soldiers to be group leaders.
One team will focus on guarding the vehicles when they arrived, as well as protecting the doctors and nurses.... while the other 4 teams will focus on either rescuing those that need to be rescued or fighting the battle head-on.
And so with roll call finally over, everyone quickly hopped into their vehicles and left without delay.
"Your majesty, we did another check on their food supply, weaponry and essentials again.
And so far, everything is good to go." Said Warrant officer Basil.
Even though they had checked everything previously, it was still better to have a last-minute check again just in case some double-crosser had done something without their notice.
Landon looked at the marked list in his hands and nodded in satisfaction, before finally looking at his time again.
They had planned to move out at 6:30 A.M on the dot.
And now was just 6:24 A.M.
"Alright!
Let's get into our designated vehicles.
It's almost time to move out!"
"Yes, your majesty!" Basil replied, before finally walking to the lead vehicle and grabbing his Walkie Talkie.
"All drivers should get ready for departure.
I repeat!
All drivers should be ready for departure!"
With the first reminder given out, all drivers held their steering wheels as if they were in a racing competition.
And soon, it was already 6:30 at.M on the dot.
Time to move out!
.
'Vrrrrrrmmmmmmmm!'
All 40 vehicles steadily left the barracks and headed towards Baymard's magnificent gate.
Luckily, they had decided to leave within the early hours of the morning..... or else their exit would've definitely caused a lot of commotion on the streets of Baymard.
And if that were to happen, the press would definitely be all up on their business with several theories on why they were moving out.
For now, it was best to keep everything on the low.
They drove as fast as they could past Riverdale city and continued on into Arcadina's western territories.
Indeed, travelling by car was definitely faster than with horses.
Because before they knew it, they had already passed Riverdale city in no time.
In fact, Landon had already estimated that if they kept travelling in both day and night time with just a couple of breaks for food distribution and what not..... they would probably arrive in the Northern territories of Arcadina in 5 days' time.
And based on how long they would take to battle and treat injuries, they might spend another 4 or 5 days within the northern territory before using another 5 days to come back.
So it was clear that this whole mission would keep him out of Baymard for at least half a month or more.
.
'Vrrrrrrrmmmmmm!'
2 days had gone by just like that, everyone switching roles here and there.
Of course, they had caused some commotion around some villages and towns as well.
"Father!... Father!..... Father!
Come out quickly!
Look, it's a carriage moving without a horse!"
"Wah!
Even though I heard that these things existed, I always thought that it was a lie.
But who would've known that it was true?!"
"Goodness!
Just look at how big and beautiful it is?"
"Ahhh!!.... how can it be so beautiful?"
"Oh my God.... can I ever own something like this?"
"Pui!
You?... own it?
I heard that even our ruler, King Alec Barn can only dream of owning it.... then what more of you?
Please stop dreaming!"
"Really?
Is it that expensive?"
"Of course it is!
I also heard that it can fly as well, and can also turn invisible too."
"What?!!!
Oh my heavens!
Is it really true?"
"Hmhm... I heard it from merchant Oliver!
Bro.... its also said that this thing is called a car and not a carriage.
And it can also talk as well.
He said tht when one sat in something called a train, it will tall at each stop."
"Amazing!
Now I see your point.
There's no way that I'll ever be able to get one for myself!"
"I totally agree!
Just looking at it, I'm sure that these people are from Baymard."
"Holy sh**!
Baymard?"
"Of course Baymard!!
Which other places can create such godly things?
They're the pros when it comes to making godly things!"
.
Conversations like these could be heard from all those who had spotted these heavy armour trucks.
But Landon wasn't too bothered about the fact that his presence was known.... and that was because the path that they had chosen to use, completely avoided all the major towns and cities.
In fact, they only passed through very small villages and less popular towns on their journey to the North of Arcadina.
And funny enough.... even though most of these people hadn't gone to Baymard before, they had automatically chosen to believe that Landon and his crew were from Baymard.
Because even though they lived in villages, some merchants from these villages had brought in some basic necessities like hood winter coats and blankets for those in the villages... so many people still knew of Baymard.
In addition to that, those who went out to bigger cities for visitation and came back, later on, all spoke about Baymard as if it were a mystical place.
So its popularity had quickly risen up in these territories.
.
The team steadily travelled through 73several villages and towns, until they saw a large cloud of smoke coming from one of the villages.
Landon picked up his Walkie Talkie and gave out his orders.
"Emmergency! Code F-103!
I repeat, Code F-103!
Drivers, full speed ahead!"
'Vrrrrmmmmmmmm!"
