Chapter 1525: Into The Fortress We go
Listening to the many wise sage words from those around her, Lucy frowned.So there might still be many more hidden passages inside the city they were unaware of?
"If that's the case, why would the Caravan bring the ladies not use the hidden path in the town? Even the wagon carrying food provisions. Why? Why risk moving out in the open?"
"Because most of these exit/entry points are used by the superiors and their right-hand forces closest to them."
Ohhh~
"I see," Lucy noted, thinking it was similar to the royal escape passages in their Baymardian palace.
For safety reasons, only a few knew these passages.
'So it should probably be the same, right?' She inwardly retorted while running her fingers across her hair.
She hated unknown factors the most!
She had to admit she was still inwardly nervous, seeing as this was her first big mission in a long, long, very long time.
Her, Queen Lucy, was now in charge of everyone's life here.
The responsibility made her double-check every little thing down to the tee.
So how could she not feel inwardly panicked?
You look at me; I look at you.
Everyone tactfully didn't mention her fidgeting. Though her majesty, the Queen acted like a mother hen worrying about her chicks, she still did a good and thorough job. And if she didn't know, she would ask for their opinions.
But of course, they couldn't wait here forever. They had to rush to the Capital to meet his Majesty Landon.
So tonight, they will strike!
.
Like so, the gang rounded up any last-minute changes and quickly went out to reconfirm the plan with their squads.
1, 2, 3...
3 and a half hours had gone by in a flash. And now, it was already 7:49 P.M.
Raymond, Ivanka, and the other leaders stood on Lucy's left and right-hand sides.
Everyone was now gathered with straightened backs and chests raised to the heavens!!"
"Listen Up!!!... I assume everyone is well fed and ready for action!"
There was absolute silence.
The brave soldiers and marines didn't make a sound.
They couldn't afford to yell all at once so loudly.
Their silence was their tactful agreement.
Good...
Raymond nodded, giving the chance for her majesty to show her vigor.
And sure enough. She didn't disappoint him and the other leaders. Only when with them would she reveal her nervousness.
Out on the battlefield, she was cold and stern, making many see the resemblance between her and her husband.
With hands firmly placed behind her back and body fawned in full camouflage attire, Lucy stood with her feet apart and her boots facing front.
"Before we begin, I expect you all to have worn the latest flexible bulletproof vest technology, as well as your arm guard shield."
The vest technology has changed and improved since its original 5 and a half years ago.
Today's own was light enough and flexible enough to be worn underneath their clothes.
Additionally, one could attack it with their arm-guard shields.
A word to the wise was enough. Lucy wouldn't dwell on their safety anymore.
It was time to move on to today's main agenda
.
"Team Alpha, Beta, Omega, Gama, Delta, Zee, Hechi, and Burner... What are your duties?"
"Surround the enemy and give them hell!!"
"Correct! All 8 teams will focus ok surrounding the Fortress from all directions, raining terror to the many enemies on the fortress's walls."
Right!
Those in these teams nodded, knowing they were to forcibly infiltrate the fortress out in the open.
The enemy would be forced to focus their attention on them, sending more and more people out of the strange underground base.
"Good!" Lucy squinted her eyes in satisfaction.
"Teams Dasher, Prancer, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Rudolf... What are your duties!"
"Cover the roads and perimeters around the city and around the fortress! Be the eyes and ears to take down any potential fleeing enemies!"
"Hmmm... Sagittarius, Aquarius, Capricorn, Aries, Libra, Virgi, Scorpio, Taurus, Pisces, Gemini, and LEO... I ASK... What are your duties?"
"To infiltrate the fortress through all hidden tunnels known."
In particular, a few of them had to stop the caravan and sneak in a few of the female soldiers to go well ahead of them.
"Ladies, be careful and don't act tough."
They were 'kidnapped victims' and had to play their parts well.
Lucy licked her dried lips. "Air force units, I'm sure you know your tasks, correct?"
"Affirmative." They responded in a low but firm tone.
What were their primary duties?
To keep a lookout below, provide battle assistance, descend when necessary, or rain hell when instructed."
.
Grrr~~~
Don't forget about us!
The dogs were all obedient, as though listening to Lucy's words.
They sat calmly, like prized dogs, not even letting out a single bark.
Yes!
They too would be joining in on the fun.
The hidden fortress looked too complex, making room for enemy surprises.
Thus, they needed all the help they could get.
"Drones up! Explosives on lock... Though we are in the enemy's ballroom, technology will be our main key to success!"
Yes! Yes! Yes!
The soldiers raised their chests proudly, knowing their gadgets were their true ace in this deadly deck of cards.
Tick-Tock. Tick-Tock.
The bringing was over.
And now, it was 8:46 P.M on the dot.
"Go. Go. Go. Go. Go!"
In a flash, everyone was rushed away like crazy.
Many boarded the vehicles, leaving their camp and storming into the night.
Vrmmmmm!!!!
The distance that should've taken well over a week to complete by horseback was covered in little to no time by vehicle.
The many groups were to reach a safe and close enough range to drop off and engage.
Bam!
They jumped off with hunched backs, hands on their weapons, and eagle eyes always moving about maniacally.
Several people raised their fingers, giving hand signals.
All clear!
The air force units had long been overhead, communicating with those inside the vehicles, showing them the way.
Titarian's landscape was already a confusing death trap on its own.
The air force units led the ground teams fervently, with some air force units also readying their baskets to descend.
Why? Because some people would have to take a leap of faith along the high rocky cliffs.
With the leading Chrompo dog running beside her, Lucy led her team towards the pathway the Caravan was to take.
And sure enough, they reached right on time.
Lucy's eyes flashed dangerously, seeing the lonely pack of caravans making their way past the road.
Good.
It was time to go in!
