"OK, Ivan,” said Captain Scheider. “I think I have a plan.”

“Yes Sir?”

“We’re going to be pretty stretched around the White Centre now that the Rearguard Beagles have been defeated. There is, however, only one way in.”

“So we must concentrate our defence there.”

“Kind of… but more. We still won’t be strong enough to defeat the Crawklings if and when they get past our Eternal Warriors. What we need is a diversion.”

“Very good sir! A distraction so that we can sneak up on them!”

“Even better than that. As I said, there is only one entrance to the White Centre. We are going to send them the wrong way.”

“Like at road works, Sir?”

“Almost. Actually, yes exactly like a diversion at road works. Our diversion definitely won’t send them to the right place.”

Captain Scheider pressed the intercom and called in his Head of Technology. “We need radio jammers. Jammers, huge road signs and a massive, fake version of the White Palace.

“Sir? Whatever for?”

“You’ll see,” he said, a huge smile on his face. “But get your men on it now, we need them fast.”
