28 Chapter 28: Bandit Hunt 1 (2/2)

”Tomorrow, the first team will set off”

”Okay, dismiss”

After the short briefing, they all went out of the room and Adam's team began preparing for tomorrow's mission.

-

The next day, Adam gathers his teammates and discuss on how to complete their mission; from planning and information gathering.

While Razlov was only observing them from the sidelines to asses their overall performance.

”Now, we will begin planning on how to subjugate the bandits Black Vipers and its leader named Python but first we need information.”

Adam looks at his teammates.

”Mercy, Carl, I need you to gather information here in the town regarding about the bandits, go to Inn's, Pubs, or the guild to get information especially in places where merchants gather; get any information you can get. While Mike, Cassie, and me, will go to the area where the bandit's base is suspected to be.”

Then Adam took out five maps and distributed it to the others; four were clearly had just been copied and the other one is the original. Yesterday, Adam bought a map of Sanloris and its surrounding area which includes the forest where the bandit is supposedly located which is 10km away from Sanloris.

”The area that the three of us will be surveying is these two areas that their base is most likely to be located”

”After surveying area and gathering information about the bandits, we will meet at the outskirt of the forest at exactly seventeen hundred hours and move out at night then begin the mission.”

As Adam's team is planning about the mission.

Razlov was also observing them and listening to their conversation. Even though he's just silent while observing them, inside his head, he keeps nodding at how they plan out the mission.

Surveying the area, at this age that there are no satellite images and detailed maps, there's no telling about an area's geography and topography that would allow the people to use the best area or places to their advantage. That's why surveying the area become's essential in planning an operation or mission to get the best outcome.

Information gathering, there's no need to mention how important this is. Just the fact that information could change the tide of a battle, operation or war, already shows how important information is and even just as simple as how many enemies there are and their location could already change the situation or take advantage of it.

That's why Razlov is happy at his subordinates competence and decision making on how to plan. But of course, there's still the action on how they implement or take advantage of the information they gathered.

”Is there any questions?”

”....”

”Remember, always keep on contact with each other. Now switch your radio channel to six.”

”Okay, let's go!”

Then they went out and proceed to their respective task.

The radio channel was set up by Razlov; from 1 to 4 is bases channels and from 5-10 is for other porpuses. Channel 1 is for morse code, that sends encrypted code/message to Kurlian Island which is also their HQ and back. Channel 2 is for their base at Sanloris which is temporary right now and 3-4 is for future bases. While channel 5-10, just like what Adam's team did, they use channel 6 for this mission.

The differentiation of radio communication and its channels was to avoid interferance that would cause confusion between different parties.
