Chapter 620 - The Ghost Is Out Of Its Shell

Alec had already travelled for more than 2 hours now.

And while he was looking forward to the battle, those in Baymard weren’t idly waiting by too.

Every day, the men at Baymard’s city gates continuously prepared for the upcoming battle nonstop.

They had already prepared all the ammunition and equipment needed for the battle.

And at this point, they had also gone over the attack plan a hundred times now... since they didn’t know the exact date and time when Alec would arrive.

Of course as per protocol, only those involved in the battle knew about the impending crisis at hand.

It was their duty as law-abiding military personnel to not cause widespread panic amongst the civilians.

So everything was kept under a tight lip.

And even those within the barracks who weren’t involved with the battle, didn’t know about the incoming war.

As for Landon, he was currently going over some major details with some of the leaders at the city walls.

They all sat upright in their army uniforms confidently.

Once everyone was seated, one of them rang a tiny bell to officially start their 15 minutes protocol meeting.

’Ding!’

"Alright!

Since everyone is here, then let’s begin.

Let’s start with safety, which is Captain Nebu’s main responsibility.

Captain, are all facilities needed for civilian transportation ready?"

"Yes, they are your majesty!

At present, we have 13 military buses for civilian transportation if need be." Nebu answered seriously.

.

One should know that Baymard was now open to the public.

So since the battle would be taking place at Baymard’s forefront, where would the poor guests who are on their way to Baymard go?

It wasn’t right for them to be caught in this crossfire.

So the military had arranged for several buses to drive out and pick them up instead.

Basically, the moment the scouts sent in their reports through the Walkie Talkies, the buses would go forth and pick up anyone on the roads.

The civilians would then be brought back to the Landport and kept there for the time being.

At that point since they were planning to enter Baymard, they could just continue with registration.

Also, if they had carriages and horses, then they would be reminded to turn around and stay in Riverdale city for an extra day before coming back again.

As for those who were leaving, Landon was sure that no harm would come to them...since Alec and his men were trying to save energy and wanted to be in their best shape for battle.

Plus... Over 200 carriages were going and coming into Baymard hourly.

So how would they have the time to meddle with all these people?

Hence it was better for those on carriages and horses to turn back instead.

Because once the last Military bus came back, the city gates would be shut tight.

As for those who trekked to Baymard from heaven knows where, Landon thought that it would be too heartless to ask them to trek back since they were probably tired and hungry.

That was why he opted for them to be picked up.

As for those travelling behind Alec and his men... Please!

They weren’t fools.

The moment they saw such a large force marching towards Baymard, they would turn back without a doubt.

In this era, such a large force going out could only mean battle, or ceremonial occasions like coronations.

And in truth, they didn’t want to find out which it was.

So they hurriedly turned back and waited for the news to reach their ears.

With that said, all Landon and his crew had to worry about, were those stuck between Baymard and Alec.

.

"Good!

Once the scouts send word, make sure to call the Landport as well.

At that time, all Check-outs will be put on hold for an entire day.

And all those who were supposed to check out will be given free accommodation and 3 Square meals within some of the moderately ranked hotels in Baymard.

Tell the Landport to arrange a general checkout time for tomorrow too.

Those who are held up today can checkout tomorrow anytime before the appointed time if they liked."

The meeting didn’t last long before Landon secretly made his way towards William’s home.

For sure, he informed Lucius of his whereabouts before heading out there.

"Brat, don’t worry.

Once we get information that Alec and his men are close by, I’ll make a call to the young master’s home."

"Thanks."

With that, Landon was off.

Of course, he had planned to bring William and his family to watch the show.

After all, this fight was also theirs too.

So it was only right for them to watch alongside the Baymardian and Caronian soldiers.

For sure, Micheal and his family could also come along if they wanted to.

He gathered everyone in William’s home and briefed them on the situation at hand.

"My spies tell me that there’s a high possibility of him arriving here today.

In fact, he might arrive any given time for now."

"What?"

Everyone jumped up in shock while looking at the calm Landon who was currently crunching on some ch.i.p.s.

’Crack! Crack! Crack!’

Their lips twitched when they saw how calm he was.

"Boy!

Even though I’m somewhat confident in you.

Are you sure that you can take on those many people all at once?" Oden asked seriously.

Even though his son had explained the battle on their base to him, he still felt like what Landon had used was just ordinary black powder.

So he wasn’t all that sure that they could take on 50,000 men all at once.

It wasn’t that he was underestimating Landon... But someone had to see it to believe it.

Plus this was his brother that they were talking about.

Even though he had grown somewhat confident throughout his period here, now that the moment of truth had come... Oden suddenly felt bad for dragging Landon and his family into this.

Michael looked at Oden and shook his head bitterly.

’Bro... If only you knew what this little imp could do.’

As someone who had been rescued in Terique, and had seen Landon’s battle upfront... He didn’t doubt for a second that Landon would win.

Even William thought the same too.

But everyone else wore a gloomy expression and remained silent.

Landon looked at them and chuckled.

"What’s the big deal?

If I said that I would take him down, then I would!

Don’t worry, I would never do anything tgat can’t confident in."

Listening to Landon, they somehow felt released, even though their worries were still buried in their hearts.

And soon, the phone rang and everyone’s heart tensed up.

’Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!’

Landon, who had been sitting by the phone calmly picked it up amidst everyone’s anxious gaze.

"Hello.

Is the ghost out of its shell?"

"Affirmative.

The ghost has broken free."

"Alright, we’ll be there soon."

’Pang!’

With that, Landon hung up and looked at everyone calmly.

"He’s here!"

So those who want to watch the show
