His team turned to him, waiting for the plan that Moon seemed to be brewing in his mind.
"A ruler this careful won't come out for a few dead Stalkers in some outer den. But it can't ignore a direct threat to its heart. This valley is everything to it, its core population, food supply, and much more. If we start tearing that apart, if we make enough noise and do enough damage right here at the center of its power, it won't be able to sit back and hide.
It'll have to respond. Either it comes out to deal with us personally, or it sends its inner circle, the ones who know where it is." He gestured toward the valley. "Either way, it reveals itself. We provoke it, and we watch what answers."
Garrett grinned, hefting his greatsword. "So we kick the hornet's nest and wait to see what flies out. I can get behind that."
"Yes," Moon nodded.
