Chapter 1558: Warning! Warning! Intruder Alert!
Tick-Tock. Tick-Tock.
The intruders used the enemy Baymardian watches to tell the time with no shame.
And as the ticking noises bellowed, the tension aboard the galleys grew hotter.
The lit torches, as well as the solar Baymard bulbs, were all turned off, making the ship seem hunted.
But who’s to say there weren’t ghosts aboard?
In the dead of night, only the faint glowing eyes of many shone dimly the further they advanced.
Each leader narrowed their eyes, whitling a natural tune in the wind.
Wheee~~~
Break apart!
The order had been given, and the many galleys sailed off to every corner across the coastal zones.
All galleys were to hit their mark on land at the same time.
So some slowed their speeds, and others hastened up.
Every move had been calculated, giving rough estimates of when they should all reach their mark.
In no time, everyone was in position. And when the clock struck 12, they all sailed forward to their designated positions.
Tonight, they were bound to conquer!
Red Beard's eyes glowed fiercely.
.
Like so, the confident Morgs were quickly inching in for war.
But back on several shores across the Coastal districts, many Baymardian Coast guards had begun noticing several strange sightings.
In particular, one of them was Junior Grade Lieutenant Jonah.
On the towering 4-story-tall guard post, Jonah and several others manned their stations, seated before the several working spaces around.
Yes!
This guard post was considered large, nothing like the typical smaller guard posts one would imagine.
After all, these guard posts were considered part of Baymard's first line of defense against intruders.
So not only was it like a small treehouse above the sky, but it was also like a barricade, protecting those inside too.
It had a mini toilet, reserve water, and a stack of emergency canned food supplies.
What's more, the entire structure was made of thick metal, protecting those above.
Yes...
It was true that no matter how it was coated, the structure would rust faster since metal itself being close to seawater wasn't a good deal.
But so what?
Baymard was willing to pay the maintenance bill and cover the cost.
These were wearing times. And until all empires were united, they dared not play with their defense.
Thus, these guard posts at the very front were all toughened.
And if the situation above was really compromised, those within the guard posts could blow up the guard post and reverse-zipline to another secure higher post.
That's right.
Far above were what the Baymardians call 'Invisible' wires running 4 stories high, connecting with other equally towering tall guard posts.
In truth, it was hard for the human eyes to see these very high ropes from ground level, which was the military's plan.
What's more, the ropes seemed camouflaged in color too.
But back to the matter of the reverse Zipline, the ropes led to even higher regions far away, which were considered safe zones fortified with walls and defense systems in place.
Yes.
These coast guards could zipline upwards to these posts, ensuring enemy arrows didn't shoot them along their zip lining.
The mechanism would skyline them fast in no more than 30 seconds.
So they could put a timer bomb, ensuring that when they were safe on the other side, the guard post got destroyed simultaneously.
After all, no matter what, they didn't want the enemy to get their hands on any Baymardian military weapon.
.
In the guard tower, several people joked, retelling their amazing, exciting, or annoying occurrences that happened to them during the past week.
The shifts constantly rotated. So at times, one wouldn't see their buddy at work for another 2 weeks or even 4.
Some also went out on missions, and others went for their assigned holiday break.
"Is what you're saying true? The internet service provider BlackJack is offering a huge yearly and monthly sale for the upcoming Baymard day?"
"Yeah! If you switch plans now, you'll be saving 15 Bays worth of money per month!"
"So good?"
"HmHm! What's more, the internet speed is faster and stronger too."
"Awesome!!... I'll definitely check it out later. Tsk. Now that Baymard day is coming, this is the best time for deals. No matter what, saving money is a must. But hey, your wedding is coming up soon. So don't go running out on missions so frequently, leaving the miss's all to herself a lot."
"Pfff~... You should be telling her that." The engaged man commented. "Would you believe in the one who is stickier than her? She tends to kick me off the bed whenever I try to make her sleep in."
"Bahahaha~... Welcome to couple life, bro. My woman also has me in tears. And honestly, I don't know who she loves the most; the animals she cares for or me. As a vet, they sometimes have her up at mod-night to hurry to the zoos, ranch, and other places if the situation is critical. Sigh... She's even busier than I, a Coast Guard Officer meant to fight enemies. But you know what, I wouldn't have it any other way."
"Tsk. This guy... Why do I feel you just want to spread dog food rather than complain?
"Eh?... How do you know?"
"Pff~...Hahahahahaha~"
(^_^)
...
The men smiled, having their conversation deviate to their women. And the more they spoke, the prouder they were of dating/engaging/marrying such treasures.
Of course, they still continued monitoring their surroundings, everyone standing in various positions.
Then suddenly, Jonah's eyes froze in horror.
The massive disc-like heat vision telescope had picked up an astonishing sight.
But it wasn't just him who reacted, as another meaning the massive Night vision device also picked up the sight.
Dammit!
Jonah punched to the side, opening an enclosed covering and pushing the giant red button.
Now, all Coast guard sites, as well as those in the Navy Headquarters in District K, should have gotten the warning.
Bullocks!
Jonah hastily picked his walkie.
"This is D-I, Post 1, calling all units. Intruder Alert!... I repeat, intruder alert!"
