After sitting in suffocating silence, Eli explained to Juli how the attack would play out.
He kept it brisk, sticking to what he had already concluded on his own.
The attack on the academies as soon as Madame Joanne left Florentine; Irene emptying the garrison to protect the citizens and the students, with Commander Julius definitely riding at the head; the spine of the House's defense leaving with him. As a result, the estate would sit thin for a couple hours, prime for an assassination of the most important figure of the south, Irene Lagranche.
There might be some other unexpected variables at play, but this much Eli was confident about.
Why did Julius leave the House with his division for a mere attack? It wasn't just the threat to Navia's legacy or the people. The attackers were Moonwatchers, mid-ranking members of the Church of the Red Moon. Dangerous and psychopathic, these fanatics never stopped until everything was painted red, even beyond carnage.
