Chapter 1186 - [Bonus chapter]Mission: P.T.L
Within a large auditorium, countless people in 3 distinctive uniform attire could be seen seated with all sorts of emotions flooding through their brains.
The entire auditorium had now been submerged into a world of chaos because once the bustle of chatter began flowing from friend to friend, the whole scene had always become a steady stream of rowdiness.
One must know that most people had been here 45 minutes to even an hour before briefing time.
So of course, whether they were veterans or not, they would always fall into conversation to pass the time.
It was expected, natural, and part of human instinct to act like this regardless of age.
Yes!
Even if one placed a large group of elderly people in one room and told them to wait, they would make conversations with each other.
This was a common thing found within all schools, academies and regions.
So these trained, armed force men and women weren't all too different.
At present, some were resting their eyes, while others were busy reading adventure war books instead.
Apart from Landon, countless new writers had already sprung up within Baymard, with their own creativity and mass-produced books by making a deal with the printing press people.
In short, anyone could make books. There were also several famous authors from other empires too.
Provided one caught the attention of a particular audience or market, their books could be bestsellers, earning them a lot of money.
One just had to have their manuscripts correctly done and talk with their editors and reviewers as well.
.
At present, several people within the hall were reading several war stories similar to medieval war novels, while others were busy snacking on a few goods.
Of course, there were still some who were busy talking and comparing tales about their hellish training during the week or so.
They even began mentioning the instructors they thought were devils in disguise.
And as one would've guessed, there were still some talking close to the doors, poking their head out along the hallways to watch if Landon and the rest would be arriving soon.
Of course, the moment they saw the silhouette of Landon and the rest from afar, they immediately jumped like cats, rushing back to their seats and passing the message along too.
"They're coming! They're coming! Everyone, they're coming!"
Coming?
Like antennas, everyone's ears were perked up, receiving transmission, while just others received far away hand signals instead.
Those closing their eyes opened them and sat up straight like mummies rising from the dead.
As for those reading, their speed of closing their novels was so fast that it seemed like they had made it disappear into thin air.
And those snacking were quick to fold the noisy wrappings of their snacks and place them in one of their pockets. Even those chewing hum had to remove their gum from their mouths and roll it in its wrapping too.
-silence-
... No one spoke.
Only the faint sounds of a few people coughing could be heard occasionally.
And by the time Landon and the rest finally entered the hall, it was dead quiet.
(°_°)
....
Hey. They had all been here before. So who were these people fooling?
Landon felt it funny.
He too had been a student in his past life and knew how things typically went down before teachers arrived.
He used to be the person who always had his head down on the tables while waiting for the teachers to return.
This whole thing brought back memories to him.
Likewise, the leaders beside Landon also passed through a similar phase when they used to wait for Landon and Lucius to come in for briefings.
So, of course, they knew of the little actions of these people.
Well, at least these groups of soldiers, navy and marines were taking this seriously just as they did back in the day.
Landon and the rest walked into the Auditorium, standing on the tall towering podium that looked like it was for theatre plays and performances.
And the moment they stepped in, everyone stood up to salute them, without saying anything.
~Bam!
Their loud stomps echoed out across the hall.
"At ease!" Landon said while signalling with his hands too.
And while the massive crowd was now settling into their seats, Landon walked towards the other generals and officials to clip his mic on, as well as get the massive long Movie-like protector screen rolling.
.
They still had 6 more minutes before the briefing officially began.
So they calmly equipped themselves before each one of them took their death on the podium stand.
That's right. There were just 2 slanted tables on the massive podium.
So for them, on one side was the crowd and on the other side was the massive Projection.
They had a 180 view of things.
And at the same time, their positioning on the podium didn't block any of the viewers below.
The auditorium was well designed for massive briefings such as these.
And now, with 6 minutes finally up and everything good and ready to go, the other leading officials also took their seats, while Landon just stood beside the massive projected image, with a retractable timetable pointer in hand.
It could retract and elongate just like the antennas of radios too.
Landon elongated it to its longest length before placing his hands behind his back calmly.
Now, everyone was entirely focused on the words on the screen.
