Time flew by very quickly, and Landon, Henry and his men were ready for action.

'System, you're sure he'll die tomorrow?'

'Of course, host.

What do you take this system for?

I feel very insulted when the host keeps doubting my alright self.

Host, from the world and fate detection, King Julius' shouldn't be able to make it past 10 A.M, tomorrow morning.'

Landon nodded and before leaving his bed.

The major advantage he had on his side was that unlike his enemies, he knew precisely when the king would die.

So, to not raise any suspicions, he had planned to take out the backup enemy teams lurking around the shadows tonight.

The reason he didn't attack them all this while was because he assumed that they would undoubtedly be communicating with their masters these days.

So it was likely that they would send in reports every night to their masters in the Capital.

That's why Landon chose to wait in order not to alert them.

And come tomorrow morning, by the time the King draws his last breath, these enemy forces will be utterly shocked by his little gift when they send for their backup to march into the city.

Tonight, they'll strike at midnight.

At the same time, when the city gates open at 6 A.M, they'll have enough time to sneak into the city around and position themselves all around the place.

More specifically, they had to go to the palace.

.

Landon wore his shirt calmly and stepped out of his room.

The other soldiers stayed in the vehicles comfortably while he stayed on the same floor as Henry in one of the buildings.

Of course, this was to reciprocate their hospitality since they outdid themselves to arrange his room so much in preparation for his arrival.

Pam.

Standing outside was Captain Glindor, who saluted Landon.

"Your majesty, all units are ready!"

"Good.

Let's go."

With that, they descended the stairs and headed towards one of the Courtyards there.

Landon nodded in satisfaction when he saw everyone standing in line neatly.

Even the Deifers were standing in line as well, although they were not as proper as the Baymardians.

These few days here almost seem like hell to them.

.

Typically, these men just trained with their swords 2 hours, 2 times a day or did other random things.

But the Baymardians were always on their feet.

They had weird exercises like Frog jumps and so on, which were extremely painful.

What made them cry was that they were forced to do all these weird exercises too.

A schedule was also given to everyone, indicating what they should be doing throughout the entire today.

There was a slot for free time and slots for training, doing their duties and so on.

It indeed kept them on their toes.

They used to think that Deifers were strict, but now they know that there was another level.

What sort of discipline did these people undergo?

Some of the Deifers almost cried when punished for talking and laughing when they spoke during one of the Captains' Speeches.

They were punished to run around the courtyard several times while everyone followed the strict mealtime.

It was quite tragic because they missed breakfast and could only eat snacks until lunch.

They tried sneaking into the kitchen, but the place was so heavily guarded that one might think some mysterious treasure was inside.

The men secretly cried and swore to follow the rules for the time being.

Again, what made them more pitiful was that the names of those who would go to Baymard for training after the war, had already been selected.

Some had already envisioned their hard life there.

Honestly, how will they be able to survive?

.

Landon met with Henry, and both climbed the wooden stage ahead, alongside the team leaders and Henry's aides.

Everyone went on bended knees to salute them.

"You may rise," Henry said, with both hands raised.

Everyone stood firmly and glanced at tgeir leaders on the stage.

"Everyone, today, we will begin what our Baymardian Brothers Call [-Operation Midnight-].

We will attack the enemy, giving them no chance for survival.

We have powerful allies on our side that have the same vision as ourselves.

Tonight, we have gathered here to fight for Deiferus' future.

Now, my brother will say a few words as well."

Landon stepped forward calmly.

"Brave warriors and soldiers.

Today will be a memorable day that will be written down in history and foretold countless times.

And we will be the voice that fought for the people who needed someone to be there for them.

We will be a beacon of hope to many and fight for the motherless, the childless, and all those who have suffered any forms of injustice throughout the years.

You all are carrying a heavy responsibility on your shoulders; that's why we, your brothers, are here to help you lessen that burden.

Why?

Because we believe in your talent, your heart and your compassion.

More importantly, we want to better the lives of the people.

Deiferus needs a change, and only we can stop it from falling into destruction."

.

As Landon spoke, everyone felt their hearts drum loudly with excitement.

His speech seemed to deeply penetrate their lines, giving them some sense of enlightenment.

Many began thinking of their unfortunate families that fell victim to this cruel society.

They clenched their fists in determination and swore to do their very best today because now, they truly felt the weight of the empire's problems.

It was funny.

Somehow, after listening to his speech, they really felt more alive than ever.

"Make no mistake!

Even though every one of you is brave and fearless, we do not need people who will willingly give up their lives at every turn.

If you are in a pickle, withdraw and signal for help.

And remember, in our teams, we do not leave any man behind.

Is that understood?"

"Yes!"

"Good!

Now get to your units as planned and prepare for Operation Midnight!"
