"I'm not going to sit here and wait for them to destroy the base towers and breach our defences. I'm going to take the towers to them. I'll locate their grouping grounds, their clusters, and later their hive base.
I'll take them by surprise, plant a tower, let it shred their local forces, then deactivate it and vanish before they can mount a counter-siege. Then, I'll hit them again somewhere else."
John looked at his friends, his voice dropping. "You will be the decoy. You'll stay here and build the most formidable, most obvious target in this territory. Keep their eyes fixated on this spot.
Make them believe this is where our entire strength is concentrated. While they are obsessed with breaking your walls, taking down our towers, I'll be the assassin in the dark, kiting their numbers and biting them piece by piece until there's nothing left to threaten us. Then, we move together to finish the job."
The silence that followed was absolute.
