Chapter 592 Special Invitations

Time passed by in a flash, and soon... Landon had already screened all movies and TV shows available.

Now all that was left, was for the staff to edit everything according to his corrections.

Today was bright and fair.

The sun was out, and the streets were less cold than they usually were.

Winter was nearing its end, and Spring was already coming in full swing.

It hadn't snowed in a while now... And coupled with the fact that the streets were cleared of any snowy residue, it almost made the people feel like the harsh winter was finally over.

Of course, the only thing that truly reminded them that they were still in winter.... was the fact that the roofs of their homes and yards still had snow on them.

Today's sun came as a shock to everyone, because even though it hadn't snowed for a while..... The weather had always retained a very dull mood, as if it would rain any second from now.

"Your majesty, it's time."

"Thank you, Milicent!"

'Cachang!'

Landon dropped his office phone, stood up, arranged the documents on his office desk and calmly took his coat and scarf from the coat hanger.

Just now, his other Secretary, Milicent... Had informed him about his appointment within the barracks.

So without wasting any time, Landon quickly headed out towards the barracks... But of course, he got coffee too.

.

'Vrrrrrrmmmmmmmm!'

It didn't take Landon too long to the barracks, due to the fact that there was hardly any traffic.... since he had just travelled from District A to District B, which was typically used by military personnel and those working in visiting the palace instead.

Citizens weren't allowed in District B, as it was where all army training institutions were.

Additionally, it was also the home to the Maximum security prisons as well.

Prison visitations were allowed... But so far, no one had come forward to visit these prisoners.

So only those within Baymard's armed forces could go in and out of the District at will.

Of course, the citizens were only allowed to drive through the main highway that led to District A (palace).

And just to be sure that they did so, along the main highway in District B... Several guard posts were placed there to monitor and control the situation at all times.

Also, along each road that broke off from the main highway... Refer were also several toll gates and guard posts there too.

Only those with clearance would be able to go into the different streets and blocks within the sector.

Even the perimeter of the District was closely watched as well.

Anyway...Landon quickly showed his clearance badge, went through security... Before finally driving towards the barracks.

.

'Bam!'

Stepping out of his car, he quickly made his way to the newly constructed sector within the barracks.

There, he saw 3 men walking towards him calmly.

"Welcome Your majesty!" They said in unison.

"Hmhm.

Captain Zack, Captain Flint, and Captain Merkle..... Are they ready?"

"Yes sir!"

"Good!

Lead the way."

With that, Landon walked alongside them, while listening to them as well.

"Your majesty... As requested, we chose these men based on their merit rights, skills, intelligence and personalities.

Additionally, they had already undergone 3 major tests... Both mental and physical too.

And in total, 167 men made it into the team after the invitations were sent out." Captain Flint said with no hint of emotions in his voice.

But deep down, the man was extremely excited that this day had finally come.

He and 19 more instructors had been training for 2 and a half years now just for this day to come.

Everything was done secretly and very discreet within the palace walls far away from the barracks.

And now after waiting for several years, they had finally been given the chance to train others.

.

Candidates that joined this sector would typically get a secret invitation card that even had the official military seal on it.

For this, they would get one of their men to place the letters in unexpected places... While secretly watching and making sure that the candidates were the ones that picked up the envelopes.

Some candidates were surprised to see the envelope when they opened their lockers after taking a shower.

Some saw them within their favourite books, while others even saw them on the track after jogging for a while.

The whole thing was kept as a mystery, and no one knew whether the news was real or not.

But they decided to go to the rendezvous point just to be sure.

For sure, some doubted the invitation... And tried to compare Landon's signature and writing style to the one on the invitation.

In short, some wanted to report the matter to the officials within the barracks... But the spies who kept a close eye on them quickly intercepted them, pretended listened to their complaints about the invitation and promised to get to the bottom of it for them.

Of course, they had told the men to also keep the matter a secret as well... While encouraging the candidates to go to the rendezvous point for further investigation.

And so on the first day that they had arrived, they were subjected to several tests without even seeing the invigilators.

.

If one cheated, no one would stop them... But all their actions were duly noted by those who observed them keenly.

At first when they had arrived, they saw several sheets of paper in the room.

Some of them argued and tried to find a logical point of view for this all, while others were still skeptical through and through.

The candidates argued with each other and also looked for clues around the room.

It was only when someone saw a hidden timer, that they realized that they had been working on time while waiting.

In short, they had taken several mental and physical ghost exams... Like escaping from a hidden room, and so on.

And those that advanced, received another secret invitation as well.

From start to end, these candidates had never seen anyone whilst taking these tests.

But today, they would finally see the culprits responsible for these tests.

The Captains all smiled slightly when they thought of today's candidates.

They were truly an intriguing bunch!

Heheh..... Hopefully, they don't cry too much after this week's training.

Because it would definitely hurt like hell!
