They were in the last months of war, thanks to Haki's help, they were very close to arriving at the castle but they needed a plan to help them get inside the palace.

"Alright everyone we have to create our strategy" Both royal families were reunited to discuss their next steps.

"We must find a way to infiltrate in the castle, it's very important that we're not seen until we arrive to the throne room" Tai looked at the young heir "Haki, do you have any ideas?"

"We can go through the underground corridors; however, the throne room is one of the most guarded so a fight is inevitable"

"How many soldiers do you calculate are in there?" Safiya asked.

"Between 70-100, we'll definitely need a considerable number of guards" Kumi replied.

"However" Roman started "We could cause a distraction and lower their numbers"

"Does it have a cracked ceiling?" Takevu asked.

Her siblings glanced at her with raised eyebrows "Really sister?" Hiroshi asked.

She shrugged her shoulders and said "It worked last time didn't it?"

"That's actually a great idea" Haki replied "We have a chandelier on the throne room, making it fall would be incredibly effective"

"Alright then, let's go for our-"

"Your Highness!!" All the royals glanced towards the messenger.

"Troops from Yami have started moving"

"Do you know where they are?" Haru asked.

"The reports say they're not coming towards the camp"

"They're not?" No one expected that.

"If they don't plan to attack us, then where are they going?" Safiya expressed everyone thoughts.

"The guards say that they're going south from here"

Tai repeated "South from here, if Yami is north then-"

All eyes widened when they realized what Garon's plan was, they weren't going to directly attack them but rather ambush their weak spot.

They were going towards Genzo.
