Infiltration plans

After the training you take some time to rest then reach Michael in his office, where he explains you the phases of his plan.

“First of all, we need to free those people. If Solvene see that we are winning the battle, she will use those poor people as hostages to buy time or to weaken our morale” He moves some wooden pawns on a map that shows the surroundings of the castle. “So, here what we will do: We will skirmish the outside of the castle with some light infantry. When the goons of Solvene will counterattack, we will retreat, forcing part of our enemies to leave the walls to chase them. This will drag their attention on the outside of the castle and will make sure that you will be able to sneak into the dungeons under the castle, by this forgotten passage in the crypt.”

Michael puts another map on the table, that shows an underground passage that takes from the graveyard of a nearby village to the crypt of the castle. You nods.

“So, It will be me and who else?”

“You alone.”

You raise an eyebrow.

“Are you kidding me? There is no way I can do this by myself!”

“I need my people to launch the attack against the first level of the fortress. Every single sword is precious. Besides, the dungeons are small and even a small team would be easily discovered, while a single person has more chances to pass undetected. Especially if it is someone of your skills…”

He smirks: news of your training fight must have reached his ears for sure. You sigh.

“Great. Have I ever told you that I hate graveyards? And, no: don’t you dare to make jokes about having a boner”
