Opening the Gate

Jack emerges in Metternich's study. His heart racing with excitement and triumph. Despite the carnage, he couldn't help but feel happy with his accomplishment.

He thought back to all the times he had repeatedly suggested his plan to Mark Donald, his friend and one of the highest-ranking members of Blackout. He argued that if he were to open the city gate from the inside, it'll allow General Victor to enter Vofors ease and take over the city.

But, his idea was to meet with rejection. Mark revealed to Jack that the war was not about invading the south but also to test Barlia's general leadership skills and overall soldiers' performance. In the past, they had mainly engaged in minor conflicts, primarily in the north. The conflicts were minor, and they did not involve large-scale battles or massive armies.
