Chapter 136 - Heist (1)
" whats the problem? " Karna asked
" Well to explain the problem , let me retell the entire plan first ". SMG said
Karna nodded and SMG began his explanation " The first thing we need to do is we need to knock the three patrolling guards out in the eastern perimeter , the guards strength is estimated to be peak tier one at a minimum of level 50, after we knock them out , 3 of our men will drink the appearance alteration potion and take their place and aldready plotted patrol routes in patrolling , making sure that noone gets suspicious".
Karna frowned a bit , should they fight them head on , they would have ganged up 3 on 1 maybe four on 1 and easily defeated the guards , however 1 on 1 the task was much harder and to do it in one fell swoop without alarming the others was even more difficult.
Karna said " soo is that the problem? ".
Smg shaked his head " Nono , the assasins in my party can do it easily , the hard part is later i will come to the hard part in time , after knocking the guards down , we need to get to the starting point of the treasure map , the guard tower C , ofcourse it goes without saying that we need to take out the guards on top of guard tower C before we can proceed further.
There are 2 guards who guard tower C , one hunter and one archer , both can use the bow proficiently at level 52 tier 1 ,?they have excellent senses?and vision due to the class however to avoid raising the alarm we will need to sneak up on them , after we knock them out our two men will use appearance alteration potion and pretend to be the duo patrolling the tower to not raise suspicion.?".
Karna nodded he said " okay soo sneaking on the archer and ranger is the hard part , i see , yes as we need to enter the tower from the top down , we will need to scale the tower first while avoiding detection ..... Hmmm ...hmmm ".
SMG shook his head however and said " Nonono , climbing the tower unnoticed and taking the guards down is easy , i havent came to the hard part yet have patience , the hard part comes next ".
Karna was a bit dumbfounded now , climbing a 50 feet tower and taking on two excellent archers atleast 10 levels higher without raising an alarm was easy?
What was hard then?
" The next segment requires us to remove tile number 47 from the basement of the tower which will unearth the secret passage which leads to tile number 47 beneath the royal vault , to reach there the passage is narrow and small , one has to crawl on all fours for about 500 meters down , and then?only using body strength , climb on all fours vertically for 200 meters , push the tile open quietly and get into the vault ".
Karna said " Okay no problem , we can do it easy right? ".
SMG said " Yes , yes , i see Monsieur Leo is really fit in real life as well , great muscles , ofcourse he can do the physical activity , no problem, the problem comes later , i will get to it".
Karna blushed at the compliment , he prided himself at the fit body he had.
" Then we go in and steal everything we think is worth stealing , 20 storage rings equipped on both of our 10 fingers each plus all our inventory , a lot of loot ". SMG said
Karna nodded he said " Aghhh , so thats the problem , dont worry mate there is enough loot in the royal vault to fit 2000 rings , dont worry about the loot ".
SMG shook his head , " ofcourse there is ,that is why we are carrying out the heist , nono thats not the problem , the problem comes next , wait i will get there ".
Karna was growing impatient now , WHAT WAS THE DAMN PROBLEM ?
" We then leave the vault , put back the tile , slide out of the secret passage , leave the tower , leave the premises and flee ninecoulds kingdom ". SMG said
Karna nodded , he said " AHA , so fleeing is the problem? ".
SMG shook his head " Nono, fleeing should be trouble free , we donot expect to raise alarm in the first 6 hours , then the knocked out guards will wake up and raise an alarm. It will take 30 more minutes for them to figure out that a hiest had occurred. Then to find our trail they will atleast need 6 more hours. As they will have no idea where we ran off too , by that point we would aldready have crossed the border back to Hazelgroove ".
Karna was pissed now as he said " soo what exactly is the problem ? ".
SMG replied " The problem is Monsieur Karna , that we have not thrown the doubt towards the Demolitionboys , we have carried the heiest too cleanly , also if we use the wolves as mounts to escape its harder to cast suspicion on the Demolitionboys , we need horse mounts ".
Karna was both impressed at SMG's longterm planning and insight and dissapointed in his lack of common sense?he said " then give some members appearance alteration potions , make them look like Demolitionboys members , go to a store and rent the horses , now when they backtrace the mounts they will go to the store and learn of their identity as a member of Demolitionboys , problem solved ".
SMG's Eyes shined he was enlightened , " Bravo! Bravo! " . He clapped.
The plan was finally set , every fine detail worked out , once the horses were hired , it would be time to carry out the hiest!
