The savior of a fallen kingdom (On hold)

Chapter 12 The Plan

(Chapter 12) The Plan

Finn and his allies arrived at the bandit fort right as the sun was setting, as he watched it set it reminded him of the night he and May talked about her sister....seeing that Finn was distracted Paul give him a rough poke to bring him back to reality.

“there’s no time for day dreaming anymore kid, keep your head out of the clouds. “ said Paul.

Finn nodded in silent agreement.

"So how will we go about entering the strong hold Finn? “ Asked John.

"Well, I’ve come across some information about the layout of their fortress, first of all there are a total of 3 entrances at ground level, one in the west, one in the east, and one in the north.

But the north entrance is completely barricaded with large piles of stones from the inside and outside, it would take a large amount of time to clear it away and we would have to completely destroy the door to get through, although it may be worth the time, they would never be expecting us to come through that entrance there probably won't be any guards stationed there. Just so many choices, so many possibilities...."

“Here's what we'll do....we will circle around the fort taking out every guard we see, after they’ve all been taken down we will go in through two entrances, the north and the west. We will wait till the north entrance is nearly cleared though so we can all go in together.

This is just a guess but I think the prisoners will be near the north entrance so Prince Eric and his men will be going through there William you and your men will help Eric clear away most of the ruble and then after you will come meet Me and everyone else at the west entrance to help with the main assault.

Eric when you get through your first objective is to find the prisoners, but after that you should look for their armory so we can give any new followers some gear to assist us. Remember we have to stay quiet, does anyone have any questions?”

(Everyone looked nervously at each other)

A Guard steps forward and says. “Do you think that we will actually survive this?”

Finn was silent for a while but eventually said. “No. not all of us at least, only one or two of us might walk away from this. But we have to do this, otherwise every family in this valley is in danger, every child, woman, and man will be subjected to their tyranny. And after everyone in this valley is dead or imprisoned what do you think they’ll do next?...they will move to the next valley and repeat this process over and over, so we need to stop them here, and if our lives are enough to bring their slaughter to a stop then I’m more than glad to lay my life down. Wouldn’t you?”

With that said all the troops seemed to have a new drive for the battle that lay ahead of them.

“Are you all ready for this?” asked Finn.

Everyone replied with a silent nod.

“Then let’s go to war.” Said Finn.

Everyone dashed closer to the fortress with Finn leading them. Their armor quietly clanking together as they marched through the night towards their very possible end….
