Talon of a Hawk

"Right Squad leaders, this mission would be clean and swift. We are going to sabotage their storage and ammo depot inside their camp. Failure is not an option here leaders and I don't expect one to happen." Artirian would point a direction of attack on the map "We are going to move into their camp here… then here and here" Artriain would look at the squad leaders then he asked, "Questions if none I will continue". After a few seconds, no one answered, so Artirian continued to discuss. "The first squad will be up at northeast of the camp" Here Artirian pointed "While the second and third group will be at the north-west of the camp. The 4th squad will be the reserve force."

The squad leaders would then analyze the map on the table. They quickly memorize the blueprint of the construction of the camp so that they won't get lost and to what and where they shout attack. "Are we allowed to kill any guards on sight sir?" asked one of the squad leaders. Artirian would then reply calmly "Yes you are allowed to kill guards that are on your sight don't any of them able to make an alarm to the whole camp."

Artirian would then look at them straight while his hands would be on his back. As he discussed further information regarding the sabotage and sneak attacks. Artirian would then add to his statement "You four leaders find 2 people that will bring the new explosives that are in the storage; each squad may have 4 explosives.". Some of the squad leader's eyes would be like shining that they are allowed to use the explosives.

Artirian POV

``These cadets knew nothing about the real war. And this battle strategy is only a glimpse of what is on the real outside war that is ravaging throughout the plains of the south to the mountainous ranges of the north and the lushful forest of the west.``

I would then wipe my face with my handkerchief as I turned around and wave at them while walking out the tent. "Hope you will gain success Squad leaders I am expecting a big contribution and success on this"

The squad leaders would look a little pale as they heard that from me. I would then continue walking outside and once I got out from the tent the fresh cold air surprised me. My cape would flicker and my hat almost flew off.

As I look at the starry night "I welcome whoever touches my goals" then I would look far through the moon.

---------------------------------

After a few minutes, the squad leaders would be rounding up their squad members and began moving squad by squad. Artirian would be looking at them at the open while his hands would be clasped behind his back. "I guess I will see some fireworks after this ferocious first attack".

Lelucard would then be leading the 1st squad who was attacking from the northeast of the camp which is the second gate. The gate opening of the camp which has 9 guardsmen guarding with armor and some support units. Lelucard would then give a sign to his squad members to split up

"jarred, Flix move up to take down the 6 guards when they move to silence them but don't overdo and make them bleed a little. Karol, Karna take down the 3 other soldiers."

All of the members would reply a nod and then split-ups through different positions. First Jarred would jump forward pulling the back armour and then knocking the head of the guardsmen. As he knocked the first target he would go to the next target which is the one that is walking towards the gate but was intercepted by Jarred.

Jarred would slash his sword hitting the guardsmen on the face knocking the guardsman on the ground. Jarred would spit on the ground and drag the unconscious body on the side.

Jarred would then look for his last target that was roaming around near the wall. He would then find his target and knock the guardsmen with the handle of his wooden sword. After that Flix was already punching the knocked guard that was assigned to him. Jarred would then tap Flix shoulder "you can stop now" Flix would be full of blood because of the blood of the guardsman.

"We are ready, we can signal the other team before we light up this tent," Jarred said while holding his wooden sword. Meanwhile, on the other team Karol and Karam have already taken down the 3 guards and they are now preparing to light up the second tent. Now they have full control of the northeast gate. Now they will wait for the 2nd squad to do their job.

"Second squad attention!. Harlord to take down those 2 guards from the top of the tower gate. Plare takes down the 2 other guards near the gate. Blitz hit the 2 archer support on top of the wooden gate"

They all replied with "Yes, Sir" after those replies all of the coordinated attacks were successful. One of the members also added a knock because there was an officer who almost made a signal luckily Plare throws his wooden sword hitting the officer on the head and dropping on the ground.

Followed by the actions that were initiated by the 2nd squad they began signalling the other squad from the northeast gate. And when the signal was intercepted they began Plan B which is to burn the specific tents to disrupt the enemy manpower and supplies.

Plare would then light the torch and then throw it at the tent where the supplies of food were. While on the other side they have started burning the tent and the supplies of weapons with some stocks of military supplies.

"Heh hope you guys can have some resupply tomorrow scums" Plare said while he throws another torch atop of one of the main tent"

After they executed Plan B they then began to silently move out from their positions. Lelucard and his Squad began moving to the south as well the 2nd squad. While the 3rd squad would take care of the Plan C which is if there are some guards who will try and give chase to the retreating 1st and 2nd squads.

The explosions and fireworks in the skies would be seen (BOOM BANG BOOM). The dark sky became colorful with the fireworks being lit up on the sky, from the garrison forces it was a boost of morale but form the enemy forces it was a tragic defeat. Meanwhile, Artirain was watching from the arena walls.

"I guess I was right that I expected from my men," Artirian said a bit loudly.

Some of the cadets would be startled by the sudden explosion "What's going on!?" shouted by one of the cadets "Water! We need water to pull out the fire!" shouted by another student. Then soon follows the chaotic scene of the camp. The fire quickly spread through the camp but with the fireworks being lit explosions from left and right cannot be stopped.

and the cadets were either hiding or running afar from the camp. Even the commander of the entire unit is also frightened of the explosions.

"What the hell is happening!?" shouted by the commander, one reply from his assistant said "We have been attacked sir by an infiltration unit from the garrison army of the enemy." The commander wound looked at the advisor and slapped his back head

"Why did you not tighten our security we almost have twice as many soldiers than them!" the advisor replied, "I am sorry sir!" The advisor quickly ordered other cadets to try and contain the fire that was currently spreading.

"We are going to retreat by tomorrow," said by the commander who was seating on the ground with his sleeping pajama. "We can not fight without those supplies and from what I see those cadets cannot fight with this kind of low morale." He added.

Then the advisor that was beside him would reply "We will follow your orders Sir."
