“I actually agree with him,” I admitted, and there were several shocked grunts and chuffs that echoed across the Council’s raft.

“How can one live with themselves after fighting with such dishonor?” Atrix asked as he looked between me and Cartram.

They live, Cartram huffed. That’s the main point. If we can’t fight against our enemies using their own tactics, then we can’t ever defeat them.

“Cartram’s right,” I added. “The orcs’ armies have far greater numbers, and they are a well-oiled fighting machine that’ll do anything to achieve their victory. But so are we.”

“But… Fighting dirty?” Atrix frowned. “That is one of the greatest dishonors you could bestow upon yourself.”

“It’s not a matter of honor,” I explained. “It’s all about knowing your enemy. If you get down in the trenches, one-on-one with an orc, then you’d better know damn well what’s going on inside that tiny brain of his, or else you’re gonna end up dead. And what better way to understand your opponent than by practicing their same fighting techniques?”

Also, to reiterate my point, Cartram said. The orcs may fight dirty, but they are almost always victorious. How many of our kind

have they killed with their crude and dishonorable tactics? We cannot defeat them if we are all dead.

“I suppose you are right.” Atrix hung his head and closed his eyes before he let out a somber sigh. “They have defeated our friends time and time again, to the point where many of our kind are now on the brink of extinction.”

“Exactly,” I said with a nod. “That’s why we gotta take out the Grand Gar. As long as he lives, your kind is in danger.”

“If it makes you feel any better,” Mira said from the deck of her ship. “With our plan, you won’t have to fight dirty at all. You’ll all be part of the invasion force that meets the orcs on the beach and fights them head-on.”

“The force that’ll act as a distraction while my strike team slips away,” I elaborated. “You can fight as nobly and as honorably as you want, Atrix. Just as long as we can do what we need to do.”

“As I said before,” the rock dragon said as he bowed his head.

“The Council of Dragons is here to help in any way we can, Draco Rex.”

“Good,” I sighed as I looked off to the setting sun on the horizon. “Because the Grand Gar’s forces are going to outnumber us

by a lot, and he still has a few dragons at his disposal. Plus, the anti-dragon weapons.”

We should probably try to eliminate those first, Tirian suggested. Just a thought.

How can we do that, though? Ethala questioned. If we go after the anti-dragon weapons, that will put us directly in harm’s way.

Couldn’t Benjamin’s mighty force of warriors take care of them? Bungal asked, but I instantly shook my head.

“No way could we take care of all of them,” I explained. “From what I saw on our last little visit, the Grand Gar has anti-dragon ballistae all over the island.
