Rasmus stood in the middle of the woods, looking at his wristwatch where the time showed it was past midnight. He looked at the city in front of him as he raised his right hand and swung it down forward as a signal. Dozens of Blackhands moved around him without making any noise, not even the sound of the wind could be heard. They ran in the dark as they approached the city wall where the guards had just finished their half an hour's patrol on the top of the wall.
Joshua gave hand signals to the other members and immediately they all went their separate ways. The gatekeepers noticed the movements from the corner of their eyes, and when they saw dozens of people in all-black clothes, an arrow hit in between their eyes. The gatekeepers collapsed, but before their bodies hit the ground the Blackhands grabbed the bodies, pulling the arrows from the guards' foreheads and gently making them lean against the wall to make them look like they were sleeping on the watch.
