"It's better to fight and survive than not and die. But if you wanna go lay your life down in the gunfire Cie La Vie I guess."
Tomorrow we move out for the gorge. It's been decided we move at first light. Decreed by Octavia that for the moment we all put aside what occurred in the bunker to work together on taking Shallow Valley. Since this war is actually happening there is no room for us to distrust the other. Stood in my place between Indra and Bellamy, I gaze over the map we've drawn up as per Echo's description. We make it through the gorge and into the forest we'll win. Our army has the distinctive advantage amongst the trees.
With Miller, Brell, and Octavia all gathered around the map with us, I point out "When Echo gives the signal she's going to lead Murphy, Emori, Raven and their pilot in and open fire in the pillbox sat atop the end cliff in the gorge at point A. That's where a majority of the gunfire will rain from and will be their last line of defense."
"According to Diyoza at the first sign of attack McCreary's forces at points B and C will converge to reinforce point A thinking that's where we're coming through", Bellamy points out the three gate points on the map.
"Leaving the other two doors wide open", Octavia hums in agreement.
"We'll come through here at point C", Bellamy explains to the small group of us "Now if we time it right and move fast there won't be any resistance."
"Once we're in the woods we take the villages", Indra points out the villages to us.
"Once we're in the woods we win", Miller agrees her just as confidently.
"Okay", Brell hums telling us "I'll tell my people."
Immediately Miller's expression scrunches us, taking a defensive stance "Your people."
Indra not giving their hatred an ounce of energy, she huffs "Save it for the enemy. Spread the word. We go at first light." At Miller and Brell's departure, I follow soon after. Catching Monty and Harper's gaze by the light as I step out of the tent I send over a curt nod, silently telling them the plan is going ahead. We can't go back, only forwards. Locating Jackson who's distributing extra armor, I waltz up behind him asking "You got some I can give Bellamy?"
