Chapter 1743  The Peculiar Miss Dina

"Welcome everyone. Many of you do not know me, but I have lived in Baymard under a code name, Miss Dina."

Tilda paused, sweeping her eyes across the room just as she had practiced.

Big brother Landon said one must speak calmly, and give pushes not just for the audience, but for herself.

She can use this time to recollect and adjust her mood as she deems fit.

"As of now, my true identity will remain hidden from you all though with how smart everyone is, I'm sure it will be a matter of time before you figure out who I am."

Everyone listening had to admit that they were now intrigued by this bold lady who faced them so fearlessly.

Of course, if they knew Tilda's palms hening her back were sweating heavily, they might not think of her as so fearless anymore.

Still, it was pretty impressive how she faced a massive crowd of intimidating people, yet she didn't stutter.

Well, this is also thanks to Landon who had her practice for years now under his terrifying aura.

Sometimes, he would unleash brutal killing intent, allowing Tilda to make speeches there and then.

You don't understand.

Landon alone had the intimidation level of a thousand men!

Tilda will never forget the day she secretly peed on herself when staring at Landon's fierce eyes.

It was cruel, but she had to prepare for the worst, even torture.

She will be leaving Baymard, this safe bubble, and heading back into the cruel world she once knew.

She more than anyone else knew how cruel her empire and even the entirety of Veinitta were.

As for her identity as a dead princess of Dafaren, Landon advised her to keep that secret for now, even from her men.

If they figure it out on their own, fine and good.

But she didn't need to tell them, at least not yet.

For now, they could think whatever they want to think.

Rebel? Lady of a fallen noble household, enemy of the Dafaren Monarchy... you name it.

That was their choice.

Likewise, when out there building her forces, she will only be known by her people as the girl in a mask.

Only the Baymardians will know her true face.

The people she gathered will not.

She will build up her army, and her forces to a stronger level, while also gaining her trust and belief in her.

Only when she feels she has enough trust in them, can she decide to reveal her true face.

But when she does the reveal and to whom, is entirely up to her.

At the same time, she must be careful not to accidentally reveal her cards to a spy pretending to be a close friend or subordinate.

In the end, there are some things only she can learn.

Landon couldn't possibly teach her everything in life.

Click!

Tilda pressed the little controller in her hands and the projected image immediately changed.

"Everyone, listen carefully. Today's briefings will be short, and deep, but not as detailed as you are usually used to. This is because 3500 out of the 5000 of you gathered here are Navy officers and pilots whose tasks involve taking us to the designated mission drop spot and returning to Baymard."

It's amazing that all these 3,500 Navy officers and few pilots, are just the number required to man and operate 1 Battleship.

There are those checking the engines like technicians, those assessing the weather and the best routes to take, and many more involved in ensuring the ship not only reaches its destination but successfully returns to Baymard too.

Again, since the missions for those going into enemy lands and those many the ships were different, it made no sense for each other to know the other's detailed mission specifics.

That's why everything would be very vague for this first meeting briefing.

"Location: Dafaren, Veinitta... This is where we will be headed. Specifically, we will be dropped off in Galilee Forest."

X marks the spot.

After one enters Dafaren through Loopin Coastal City, one will have to either bypass Sycamore Village or Jaja Village to get to Galilee forest.

Typically, they would have to go by sea since it was unsafe to use hot air balloons in winter.

But now that they had military aircrafts, who would bother going by sea again? Well, to be specific, the first lineup of Military choppers is ready!

They chose a forest because the chopper's nose was indeed loud.

Any aircraft is typically loud due to the massive engine breathing heavily and in the chopper's case, it was its blades.

"GROUND TEAM: We have 3 main missions. First, to assist me in building my forces in Dafaren... Perhaps I haven't made myself clear yet, but in no more than a year and 8 months, I will be on the throne as Dafaren's next monarch."

Tilda said it casually, but her words made many almost fall in shock.

This... this.. this...

So they were now addressing the future monarch of Dafaren?

Was she friends with his majesty Landon?

Understand that his majesty Landon had an almost Godly eye for talent.

Anyone approved by his majesty Landon was someone with boundless potential, someone with investing in.

Any monarch his majesty Landon fought to get on the throne, and proved to have a zeal for prosperity, peace and harmony, making their empires flourish more than before.

So for this codename Miss Dina lady, they knew she too was bound for greatness.

Thus, in a way, they would be watching history in the making, the rise of the world's next female monarch!

It was hard to guess whether this Miss Dina was royalty at all because his Majesty Landon had placed non-royal people on the throne in some treaty-signed empires.

Well, only time will unravel Miss Dina's true identity, but they still have a long way to go.

"Apart from aiding me in building my forces, we will also work together with the current teams in Dafaren to destroy all underground and on-ground slave camps... My future empire must do away with such filth."

Everyone couldn't agree more.

"And lastly, we will collect all and any information related to the TOEP!"

Tilda did not hide her disgust for these TOEPs who liked to spread their infestation everywhere they went.

No way... Not in her Dafaren!
