Grim crouched behind a fallen log at the edge of the elven camp. The moon was hidden behind clouds.
Perfect conditions for what he had planned.
Team One was in position. Captain Wei lay thirty yards to his left. Sergeant Liu covered the eastern approach. Sergeant Zhang watched the supply depot from an elevated position.
The camp below showed signs that the elves were in edge.
Double patrols walked the perimeter. Extra guards stood at key positions. Morvain's paranoia was working in their favor.
Scared enemies made predictable mistakes.
Grim checked his equipment one final time.
The psychological warfare was about to become very physical.
"Phase one," he whispered into the darkness.
Captain Wei's signal came first. A small flash of light from his position. Ready.
Sergeant Liu responded with two quick flashes. Ready.
Sergeant Zhang's light confirmed the final position. Ready.
Grim drew Echo and fed aurora energy into the blade. The steel began to glow.
