Captain Elara: Let distracted them and lured them out for their hideout. Then we can ambush them.

Captain Alistair: My plan still is better than your hopeless gorilla.
Captain Elara then attack Captain Alistair.
The Chaos at the meeting starts. Jack and Ursa try to calm them down but then...
Synoh: Hey, I'm just thinking. How the bandit, easily enter the village when we always patrolling the areas?
Other: (Suprise face)
Synoh: This maybe happen because one of the villagers is team up with the bandit.
Other: (Still not saying anything)
Synoh: I suggest, before we attack them. We must check all the villagers cause we don't want to have a mole, cause it may effect our future plan.
Captain Elara: That a good plan. I think I will agreed with you.
Captain Alistair: Good head you have there.
Jack and Ursa: Great job newbie.
Lux:(Smile)
Synoh: Thanks.
Captain Elara:But still!! We must make a plan, incase there is no mole in the village. Don't get me wrong Synoh but I know what you thinking.
Synoh:...
Captain Elara: You wanted to search for the mole cause if it true that one of the villagers is the mole,maybe we got a secret passage.
Synoh: Yeah that right.
Captain Elara: Like I said it a good plan but...
Captain Alistair interrupted....
Captain Alistair: But you must think about the worse scenario that can happen. Not just you, but everyone in this meeting must thinking carefully when making a plan.
Boink...
Captain Elara hit Captain Alistair head.
Captain Alistair: What do you think you doing?! (Angry)
Captain Elara: Heh, who started first.
They both started fighting against and Jack and Ursa try their best to calm them down.
Lux: Hmm, if we still got no plan. I will go there by myself (in mind)
As tensions simmered between the captains, Lux observed the heated exchange with a knot of anxiety tightening in his chest. The clash of egos threatened to derail their mission before it even began, leaving him feeling increasingly uneasy about the prospect of venturing into enemy territory without a clear plan of action.
Vice Captain Jack and Ursa valiantly attempted to intervene, their voices raised in a desperate bid to quell the rising discord among their superiors. Yet, their efforts seemed futile as Captain Elara and Captain Alistair remained locked in a battle of wills, each staunchly defending their own vision for the impending operation.
Synoh's astute observation about the possibility of a mole within the village ranks stirred a wave of apprehension among the assembled knights, casting a shadow of doubt over their trust in the very community they had sworn to protect. His suggestion to conduct thorough screenings of the villagers struck a chord of pragmatism in Captain Elara, who begrudgingly acknowledged the wisdom in his words.
However, Captain Alistair's cautionary reminder served as a sobering reality check, prompting the knights to confront the harsh realities of their mission with clear eyes and level heads. Amidst the chaos of the meeting, Lux found himself grappling with conflicting emotions, torn between his loyalty to his superiors and his own instinctive desire to take decisive action.
As the captains continued to bicker, Lux's resolve hardened, his determination to see their mission through to its successful conclusion strengthening with each passing moment. With or without a cohesive plan from their leaders, he knew that the safety of the hostages depended on their swift and decisive action.
In the midst of the chaos, a quiet determination settled over Lux as he steeled himself for the challenges that lay ahead. With a steely glint in his eyes, he silently vowed to do whatever it took to rescue the hostages and bring an end to the reign of terror that had gripped their village.
