Chapter 1188 - Briefings! 2
Chapter 1188 - Briefings! 2
The briefings went on as planned, with everyone knowing their ȧssignments.
And in the end, Landon reminded them of their time limits for submissions.
"The official leaving date is September 12th. That is 16 days before the target's birthday and coming of age ceremony. Our goal is to arrive at the Capital as early as possible, at least 3 or 4 days before the ceremony. Thus, from now till 5-0 hundred, September 12th will give us roughly 2 months and a week to prepare."
Everyone's heart drummed loudly while listening to Landon diligently.
Some had been out before on missions, and for others, this was indeed their first time.
So how could they not be excited?
They clenched their documents hard while trying to stop their hands from trembling.
It was as if they just got electrocuted because the fierce wave of excitement, fear, in easiness and expectations, all rushed towards their brains all at once, reminding them that this was real.
Hahahhahahahhaha!
They were In!
.
Landon nodded and changed the image projected out.
"2 months, 1 week!... All units are expected to regroup and come up with numerous plans for their mission roles and submit them to the General office in a week and a half from now. Remember! As armed forces prepared for the worst, even though we don't know the terrain or how the infiltration region looks, we can still deduce some key factors from the numerous palaces and estates we've dealt with so far. From those in Pyno, to those in the 3 Romainian empires we have already visited, and so on... Data, expectations and estimates can be extrapolated at any given time!... That said, what are some of the common features we've noticed within all palaces?"
~Swish!
Instantly, several hands went up, Landom began picking a few at random.
"Yes, You Marine!"
"Second Lieutenant Lorean here, Sir!" A lady yelled while standing up swiftly: "Sir! A common palace trait is to have hidden, underground passageways connected some buildings within the palace or leading outside the palace!" One stood up and
"Hmm... You, Soldier!"
"Warrant officer Leo here, Sir! Palaces have a high number of scouts all around, no matter the terrain."
"They have slave quarters."
"They are all overly large and broken into different segments or mini sectors if one within them. The smallest we've seen could take 2 and a half hours from one extreme end of the palace to another, while the largest could take one 5 hours on horseback instead."
"The Palace is highly complex and confusing, in order to make it difficult for spies or trespassers."
.....
Landon listened to over 15 different common traits and nodded his head in satisfaction.
In fact, without even knowing the place's layout yet, they could still develop some fundamental attack strategies.
Without a doubt, if Veinitta was more glamorous and glorious than Pyno, then Landon was more inclined to believe that their palaces there would also be larger and more prominent too.
That's the first key point.
The buildings should be heavenly spaced and give out a cleaner vibe than Pyno's.
Without a doubt, he also had to draw several conclusions and scenarios about how the front palace gates would look like.
Beloved it or not, the width of the entryway said a lot about a palace and meant that the walls were far thicker, taller and could also depict if the palace would have fewer or more defences around them.
And if there were defence mechanisms in place, what type would be there?
Yes! One should know that even though they were entering the palace from the sky, they would leave on foot instead.
Hmhm.
Once they took Tilda, they would disguise themselves as palace servants and start flowing or moving around, all attempting to flee.
Of course, they wouldn't just do so alone.
.
One should know that in this heavy moment when danger seemed to fall from the sky, there would be chaos all around, with some people running like headless chickens to and about.
Some would inevitably try to flee.
Thus, they had to join the crew and act weak too.
Well, that was all escape route-plan A... They had to come up with Plan B, C, D and even E using different paths or fighting their way out with the ȧssistance of air control if they had to.
As one could see, from their experiences, they could come up with countless scenarios and working conditions.
Of course, they also had to take into account both open and enclosed/narrow fighting zones.
The ȧssumption now was leaving more to the fact that the Dafaren palace was larger and more prominent than Pyno, meaning it was more open-spaced, to show off the lavishness of the palace, the numerous statues, ponds, walkways, roads, lawns and other features around the palace.
But what if it was still big and prominent but now had all buildings choked around it like crazy in a claustrophobic way?
All these options needed and to counter, must in case they were all true.
And as typical, because of the scenario, the weapons or equipment needed might vary considerably.
.
They had been yelling their answers within the massive open space, allowing it to echo out to several others.
And those a tad bit further, who could only faintly hear them, weren't left out because a few others ahead passed on the words too.
Additionally, they need not be bothered because soon, the briefing-meeting-minutes and highlights will get sent to each appointed team/Unit leader after this.
Well, Landon also had trust in his armed forces, knowing that they should be able to handle this much after all the years of deadly encounters they've had so far.
The plan was to go in and out without implicating Baymard.
Landon looked at everyone calmly before changing the image projecting onto the screen again.
Alright. It was time to end this briefing session.
