Silva and everyone he held dear sat in the meeting room, even his mums and his dad, Fay's brother Ray and her father. They were all seated because they had been informed about what happened. Silva also took his seat, scanning the hall to ensure that everyone was there. When he was certain, he started speaking. "They attacked for a reason; they had a plan at the back of their heads, and they attacked. It's really not hard to know what they had planned. Dark Dragon is an anomaly, a kingdom that stands against everything that is beloved in this world. It shows that every race can live together in harmony. It shows that we can all stop the wars that have been brewing for many years. So they attacked it. They wanted to cause issues in the kingdom, make the people lose trust in the kingdom so that the kingdom would fall. But they don't understand who rules this kingdom because if they did, they would understand that I am ready for war. And I'll burn their homes to the ground. They went too far when innocents that belong to me were hurt. So I'm going to make sure that I show them my rage. We will not go blindly into war. No, we will make it the best strategic and destructive war that has been recorded in years. We will use them to show the world—a spectacle for everyone to see and for everyone to know. I have spoken to Drake, Lily, and Elsa, and they said it would be best for the plan to be discussed here and everyone to know their role. Just so you know, the plan to enter the empire is still ongoing, just shifted till after the war. The empire is the most important thing on our schedule. You see, there is something in Olen that very few know about, and that's the underground channel. Olen was once used to heavily smuggle slaves to other kingdoms. They had underground channels hundreds of feet into the ground, and even normal magical scanning could not find them. There was one in our kingdom as well, but it has been closed for years now. Now, what I'm saying takes us back to the attack. The attack was not only to cause panic; it was also to use the panic as cover to open the channel that passes through our kingdom as well. That way, they would be able to start entering unnoticed and cause more damage. We didn't know this at first, but Silva asked Lily to look into things more, and she found the closed passageway in the same town where the lab was burnt down. Now, why are we talking about the passage? Well, it's simple. We will attack Olen like our lives depend on it, making use of all our people. Then we will carefully rat out ourselves that we used all our forces to attack. That will lead Olen to think they can turn this against us by sending their best men into our kingdom using the old passage. Sure, it's blocked, but they'll have to force it open from the inside. There is a high chance that their king would be there as well. But a trap is already there waiting, one that we would have set, allowing us to capture their most important figures. Using them to get more information on everyone that was in on the attack on our kingdom, then we publicly execute all of them, sending a message before we finally burn their whole town to the ground. It's a simple strategy but very delicate. The truth of the issue is that with the underground channels that exist, the king and his family could easily run away, and that would not be good. So we have to bait him in, pull him, and make him believe that he stands a chance at winning. Then he'll come to us, and we can easily capture him. This is the basic plan as laid out by Master, Lily, and Lady Elsa, but it's still open for your input."
