--Josh's camp---

Josh looked at his men, whom he had successfully divided into groups of 5.

The first group had 12 men, the second had 36 men, the third had 20 men, the fourth had 16, and the fifth had 15 men.

"Group 1 will constantly scout the perimeter of the base.

There should be at least 3 people stationed at each checkpoint.

If an enemy approaches, 1 person should rush back to alert us; another trails them quietly from the shadows.

And the last should always stay on guard at the checkpoint, in case other enemies approach again. Remember, unless necessary, do not attack them.

Just observe quietly.

Do you understand?"

"Yes, Captain," they replied swiftly.

When they were building traps, they also made hidden bases and covered them with mud, leaves, grass and sticks, so they could spy on their enemies without being seen.

"Group 2 Will focus on infiltrating our enemy camps. Since you are 36 in number, 18 men will infiltrate Gary's base, while the other half will infiltrate Mark's camp.

From the 18, divide yourselves into 6 groups and infiltrate the camp from all entrances.

Once your position is compromised, escape and return to the base carefully."

"Yes, Captain."

"Group 3 will be stationed at all trap positions.

Each trap should have 3 people guarding them.

Once the enemy falls into the trap, secure their headbands and take them as prisoners or free them.

The moment the prisoners and their headbands are secured, 1 person should rush back and give little Momo the headbands.

Once given, return to your positions by the traps.

The other two should redo the traps and wait for another enemy encounter."

"Yes, Captain," group 3 replied.

"Group four will be in charge of guarding 4 of the flags; I will keep one with me of course.

Spread yourselves around the hill in groups of 4 and protect the flags.

Remember to choose a location that wouldn't give off your position to the enemy easily."

"Yes, Captain," they also replied.

"Finally, group 5 will have 3 sub-groups in charge of: guarding our main base, protecting little momo and protecting myself.

Remember, little Momo is the one who will have all the enemy headbands in his position.

If another enemy steals all the headbands we worked hard to get, we will lose this battle.

Although I'm confident in my skills as a Knight Captain, we must plan for the unexpected.

Hence, since I have one flag as well, it is your duty and responsibility to protect me."

"Yes, Captain," group 4 replied.

---Outskirts of Gary's hill----

A group of soldiers hid quietly in the bushes and trees, carefully waiting for their prey to move closer towards them.

They had planned to ambush their enemies.

They had painted their faces, necks and hands with mud and had stuck tree branches, leaves and grass all over their hair.

It was clear that they had tried as much as possible to remove all shine from their skins.

It would be tough for anyone to spot them with this kind of army camouflage.

Berry Jax was one of these soldiers.

He stood at the back of a tree, waiting for his prey to get closer while holding tree branches as part of his camouflage.

There were a total of 4 people walking into their territory.

Once the enemy was close enough, Berry and his team moved out quickly.

Berry arrived behind one of the men and sharply pressed his fingers behind the man's ear, into the pit between the jaw and the neck.

This region was the 'Parotid Lymph Node.'

He then gripped his ear and dashed the lobe from bottom-up, twisting the ear up towards himself.

The soldier whose ear was gripped felt his entire body go numb and subconsciously fell on his knees in defeat.

Berry swiftly took off the soldier's headband and used his rope to tie the soldier as a prisoner.

By the time his team was done, they escorted the captured soldiers to the outskirts of their base.

They figured that since the soldiers were now 'dead,' they would not be able to interfere with their camp anymore.

Hence they freed them and returned to their main base.

As Landon watched through the system's monitors, he took a mental note of Berry and his team. Especially Berry.

When the enemies came, he was the one who signalled the men to attack.

If Berry had been a few seconds late, this ambush would have been a complete failure.

Even Berry's quickness and decisiveness when dealing with his enemies were remarkable.

The others in his team were good, but Berry was a natural.

It was like he was born to be an assassin.

Landon was pleased.

---Josh's Camp--

As Trey and his team left Mark's camp, they decided to first observe the perimeter of Josh's base.

They knew that like all Captains, Captain Josh would also station people around the perimeter.

The team looked at the trees carefully but didn't see anyone on them.

So they ruled out the possibility of Josh's men using tree huts like they did.

In their own camp, Mark had made camouflage tree huts with mud, grass and leaves on top of the trees.

Just as they were about to move into Josh's territory, Terry spotted a heap of dried grass, leaves and twigs that looked suspicious.

The only reason Terry noticed it was because the grass seemed to be growing in the wrong direction, compared to the surrounding grass.

"What do you guys think of that heap over there?" Terry asked

"Hmmmm.

It looks normal to me.

Do you think there's something weird about it?" One of his teammates asked.

"I think their knights are hiding in there," Terry responded while nodding.

The other 3 were shocked.

The heap was really small.

How can anyone be under there?

Only a child could fit there, alright?

Terry wasn't sure if his hunch was correct, but it wouldn't hurt to double-check.

"I'm guessing that they dug out holes there, jumped into them and placed the grass and leaves on their heads while waiting for enemies.

And once an enemy passed through the checkpoint, they would get out of those holes and report what they saw to Captain Josh.

But not to worry, I have a plan."
