The War Room was a long, rectangular underground chamber within the Ironclad caves, a room Hunter had been in before without realizing it. There was a long table in the center of it, with chairs all around. Xerxes and Vi stood at the head of the table, a huge map of the Kingdom laid out before them. There were a few armored Ironclad standing around as well, each of them one of Xerxes’ generals. Hunter and Sukri stood to one side, Sukri dressed in a simple shirt and pants. It was all Vi had for her, at least until the Ironclad’s resident blacksmith made her some armor. Kayla wasn’t there, naturally. A citizen of the Kingdom of the Deep helping to attack Tykus could present a diplomatic nightmare for the two kingdoms.

“Okay,” Vi began. “Two of Xerxes’ generals will attack the military base before sunrise. The walls are short enough to scale. Take out the sleeping guards first. Create confusion. No survivors, got it?”

Xerxes gave her a nodding grunt.

“At the same time,” Vi continued, “…the bulk of our army will go underground.” She pointed to dotted lines on the map, tracing them under the wall and into the Kingdom. “According to our calculations, the tunnels end just underneath several buildings in Tykus. The Ironclad will come out of those buildings, and no one will understand how they got there. This’ll confuse the crap outta the City Guard.”

She pointed at a few marked buildings throughout the city.

“These are the main guard barracks for the City Guard,” she explained. “I want these hit simultaneously. Throw firebombs through the windows to force them out, then massacre them. Don’t let them organize or things’re gonna get a lot trickier.”

Another grunt from Xerxes.

“While this is happening, we’ll have a group of Ironclad rush to the wall surrounding the Acropolis. Take the western wall here,” she continued, pointing to the section of wall to the right. “Dig under the wall and open the gate from the inside to let the rest of the army through. If that doesn’t work, they’ll have to go under the wall. Either way, we storm the Acropolis.”

She turned to Hunter.

“Hunter, you’re our eyes in the sky. Your job will be to pick off archers at all these locations,” Vi continued, pointing to various ramparts and towers with blue stones marking them. “These are just the ones I remember seeing in the past. You’ll need to go early to scope out the rest of them. Take ‘em out quick, and make sure to stay out of range of their arrows in between runs. They hit your wings, you’re in deep shit.”

“Got it.”

“When you’re done taking them out, fly to the Acropolis and take out the archers on the wall. Wait until the Ironclad start digging, so the archers will be distracted. You’ll see me with the Ironclad then; pick me up and fly me on top of this balcony on the Acropolis. I’ll go in, make my way to the front door, and make sure they’re open for us.
