Chapter 107: Into the Future

“We need to weaken Aries. Normally, I’d suggest attacking and taking out as many of his men as possible,” I said, tapping the map.

“But that’s not possible in this situation. We’d never destroy enough of them with our numbers.” Brandt sighed and walked around the table in a slow circle.

“You’re right. But we don’t have to destroy them. We could simply… turn them against Aries,” I suggested.

Archer raised an eyebrow. “Now, there’s an idea. What are you thinking?”

I grinned. “Aries is a traitor and a coward. If we can show his supporters the type of criminal he is, I doubt they will be willing to follow him.”

“I like that idea.” Brandt wagged a finger at me. “It would literally stop him in his tracks.”

I nodded. “Once his supporters abandon him, he’ll be alone. We can move in for the kill. He will be much, much easier to kill once he’s on his own. And he won’t be able to cry for help from the Royal Guards this time.”
