We’ll start at the ridge line, give us a clear view and a fallback point. From there, take the narrow pass that cuts through the cliffs—steep, but eliminates flank attacks. Keep the team in two lines, every soldier with a designated crossfire point. Use the old watchtower as a forward outpost; it gives us early warning and a quick escape route if the artifact is guarded by surprises. All weapons checked, flares stocked, and keep the silence on the move. Once we reach the core, secure the artifact before moving on. That’s the only way to stay ahead.
