Chapter 764 - Codename: T.O.D
Everyone was eager to go on this mission, so how could they leave?
Even though they were somewhat nervous, this era was a time of bloodshed and whatnot.
So many had gone through hard light and death situations already.
From those who were imprisoned and tortured for years, to those who had witnessed bullies breaking people’s legs... everyone was well aware of the cruel difficulties of this life.
In short, many things could kill a man so many weren’t scared of death.
What frightened them was the dying process, whether they would be skinned alive, beaten to death or given to animals who would tear them limb from limb.
The pain was the frightening factor.
Of course, that didn’t mean that they feared nothing.
They knew that there were dangerous situations in this world that could make one wish for death instead.
And just the fact that this mission was triple S-class gave them a sense of fright.
But, as good soldiers, they had to strive to protect the people.
So even if the enemy was the devil himself, they would still do their best to keep everyone in their empires safe.
Lucius nodded in satisfaction when no one left.
.
"Congratulations!
You all are now officially assigned to this mission.
To begin, this mission is Code: T.O.D
That’s right, it’s named after the mysterious temple of Dragmus.
As for how devious they are, we’ll begin with a little background story on them for you all to get a clear picture."
Everyone listened in rage when they heard about this shameless Temple of Dragmus.
"Any questions so far?"
Immediately, several people raised their hands in the air.

I would like to ask if there is any more information about this temple.
More specifically, I would like to ask if they had already started making plans toward Carona." Prince Robert asked anxiously.
These bastards wanted the whole Pyno continent under their rule, and if they weren’t stopped, then they might actually succeed... after all, they were already deeply embedded within the empire of Yodan and Deiferus.
So with more time, they might even extend their wings into Carona too.
The thought of this, made these Caronian soldiers boil in fury.
This temple of Dragmus was too dangerous and tyrannical.
Just comparing them with Baymard, made the Caronians appreciate this small but terrifying empire even more.
Even with all their power, Baymard still didn’t want to annex Carona.
Instead, they respected the royals, gave the people peace and were willing to work together with them for unity.
But just look at those Dragmus people?
They wanted to destroy and control all empires without caring about anyone’s opinions.
The princes clenched their fists and frowned angrily too
How could they let these Dragmus people enter Carona?
No way!
For the sake of Carona, as well as the Pyno Continent’s future, they had to go.
.
Lucius saw through Robert and knew what he was worried about.
"Private Robert, at the moment, they haven’t begun their plans on Carona yet.
For now, they’re still focused on Yodan and Deiferus.
Any more questions?"
"Private Jamie here!
Do we know if they have any other influence backers that we need to be careful of?"
"At the moment, we don’t.
But we’re still keeping a lookout for such matters.
That said, you all aren’t the only ones on this mission.
3 weeks ago, we sent out spies towards the cities, towns and villages closest to these bases.
So they will be waiting for your arrival.
When you arrive, they will give you additional information on what they know.
Alright!
For now, let’s suspend any more questions about their history for later and focus on your teams.
So, since they have 23 bases within Yodan and Deiferus, we’ve already divided you all into 23 groups.
You all will work alongside each other within the enemy’s territories." Lucius said calmly.
This was a tricky mission to set up seeing that the Caronians weren’t allowed to use guns or any high tech weapons.
But Lucius wasn’t worried.
Their swordsmanship, hand combat, military tactic strategies and other skills have improved immensely while training here. The latest_epi_sodes are on_the novelenglish.net . Firᴇ.net
So since there were 23 bases in total, Lucius had decided to let the Caronians handle 8 bases, while the Baymardian soldiers will handle the other 15.
For many of you Caronians, this will be your first triple S-class mission.
So we’ll be sending some Baymardians as backup just in case.
This was a learning experience for them, so he wanted them to learn as much as they could when they marched toward their designated enemy bases.
Apart from backup, the Baymardians were also there to provide transport, since all the treasures in the vaults needed to be transported out of these places.
Of course, the Caronian empire would get its fair share of wealth too since their soldiers worked so hard.
.
As for their weaponry... over the years, the weapon manufacturing industry has strengthened, bettered and produced impressive arrows, shields and all sorts of simple weapons that were sold to the Caronian empire only.
William has also shown interest in them as well, so they would start selling them to the Arcadians as well.
Anyway, their weapons were now upgraded, and their armour wasn’t that clunky full body iron suit again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNow, they could be as flexible and quiet as they want during missions.
It was time to put their skills to the test.
And if they needed medical attention, there will be some military doctors amongst the Baymardian backup team.
In short, Lucius felt like they would be alright.
"For this mission, each team will take 10 military dogs with them.
Both Caronian and Arcadian barracks have been training these war dogs for years now.
They have gone out on more missions than a lot of you.
So treat them as your equal.
That said, you all have a month to prepare alongside the dogs for this mission.
After today, you’ll be given all maps and doc.u.ments concerning your assignment.
And within the next 7 days, I expect to see your plan A, B and C’s about how you would go on with your mission.
From there, your plans will be reviewed and revised during the second week.
Week 3 and 4 will be used to practice, prepare and go over your plans as if you were on the field.
And because this mission is of utmost importance, we will give you all real-life simulations of what you might experience by using the newly built military training estate, which has several underground compartments within it that lead to some exits in the forest.
That’s it for your missions.
If you have any more questions, just ask away.
If not, the meeting will end here.
Remember, I expect to see your plans on my desk before 4 P.M, 7 days from now.
The team that fails to do so will be withdrawn from the mission.
So do you best."
"Yes sir!"
"Good...
Any questions?"
.
The men all got ready for their missions eagerly.
But unbeknownst to them, another big storm seemed to be coming Baymard’s way instead.
