6 - Escape Plan

Everyone held their hands up as it was the wise choice available since going north now is suicidal as the best bet is definitely going south back to their motherland.

"I have found a good way out of the city." He said as he began to draw a map on the ground using a rock "It may not seem much but it is what I saw in the barracks."

He laughed while saying "Those men used me in their meeting room thinking I won't care much for plans, important routes and mainly the map." he continued "But they were wrong."

As he began to point out his plan which was honestly simple as the gate keepers of the city are corrupted ar in they take bribes to not take entrance and exit fee from goods carriages.

Merchant Guilds compete eachother for the most profit and in this competition they quite well use the corrupted officials to their very best in ways to avoid taxation etc.

As the plan was to capture one of the carriage and their driver, then steal their dress and drive the carriage towards the southern gate which is said to have less men guarding it because it was not much used.

Only carriages enroute to other cities in the south western or eastern regions opt this route as he specifically says only about a 100 carriages move through this gate as it is kept open.

There were even cases of undisciplined acts were the guards would lay drunk infront of the gates.

This made it seem like it'll be easy but won't be much since they have to leave the slum, go to a market place and capture a carriage which is the most difficult part of this mission.

There were in total of 16 folks in the room ready to go with him as he gave each the task to do things as out of 16, 3 will travel towards the gate and scout the area after the capture of a carriage.

10 of them will help with the capture and remaining 3 will do their best to spot the soldiers and try to find best routes.

The meeting up area was near the Southern gate since all of them should be inside the the carriage.

The plan was made by a 17 year old who spend most of his time inside the barracks as used by soldiers in heat as he was not much capable but still was better than rest of his comrades.

He told them to prepare for tomorrow as it was the day will escape this hell and meet their hope.

Not a great plan but if it's done correct they could succeed and save themselves but it wasn't the end as they plan to save their people but for that they must at the very least escape and find a place where they can taste peace and freedom for the first time in their life.

A difficult yet possible Escape Plan was made.
