The old man of the cangaço

The nights became even shorter and the days, long and exhausting. The entire city was in turmoil, with all resources being mobilized for the decisive attack against the enemy base. Rodrigo, Sebastião and Olavo did not rest; they were always planning, adjusting strategies and ensuring that everything was perfectly aligned.

The soldiers' training was intense. Each day, they improved their skills, not only in strength, but in coordination and the use of specific tactics that could make a difference on the battlefield. Rodrigo, with his vast experience, supervised each training session, always attentive to details. He knew that, in war, the difference between victory and defeat was in the small details.

Sebastião, in turn, took care of supplies and logistics. He made sure that everyone had what they needed for the mission, from weapons and ammunition to food and water. He knew the difficulties of keeping troops prepared, especially in a hostile environment like the one they would face in the Stone Mountains.

With his strategic mind, Olavo reviewed the maps and information obtained from the previous mission. He looked for alternative routes, weak points in the enemy defense, and ways to surprise the adversary. The pressure was immense, but he remained calm, knowing that clarity of thought was crucial.

Finally, the day of the attack arrived. The soldiers were ready, and the city was silent. Rodrigo, Sebastião, and Olavo met one last time in the command room before leaving. The moment was solemn; they knew that many would not return. But they also knew that this was the only chance to save the city and guarantee a future for everyone.

"We are prepared," Rodrigo said, his voice firm. "We will end this threat once and for all."

Sebastião and Olavo nodded, sharing the same determination. They knew that this battle would define the fate of all, and there was no room for hesitation.

With the plan drawn up and the troops mobilized, they set off towards the Stone Mountains, aware that success depended not only on their skills, but on the unity and courage of each individual.
