"Not long now." he says, the face within the mask intently looking at the dying sun in the horizon. With its disappearance, he switches on the radio to speak to all of his troops.
"Q-1, as explained, you and KR-1 will take a frontal assault upon the castle. Let them gain some ground as the battle goes on so QN-1 and KN-1's groups may strike from all sides when they expose themselves. Do not retreat from the castle walls so far as to leave yourself vulnerable to soldiers on top of them. Snipers, hide and establish priority on said troops, then on enemy rank, but only if their capture seems unlikely. Once they decide to overpower our main force with all of their strength, their forces on the castle walls may begin to think they are of more use in the conflict at the gate. In either case, deploy smoke grenades and retreat then. Make them believe we can't stand up to them."
In all honesty, it would be somewhat better if they could establish the entrance as a choke point, but that would put Kallen in particularly high danger. As his best soldier, Zero understands the need for her in the organization. Besides, this will give them a better look at their opponents. Capturing, or less ideally, killing Roy and Cornelia is an opportunity he cannot let slip. He also doesn't mind the opportunity to see just how the enemy's alchemy works in practice.
"Remember, we use our blade today not to destroy our enemy, but to decipher the strength of their own! You are to minimize our own losses during this confrontation. Wear down their minds just as much as their bodies. Take prisoners if possible, but do not hesitate to eliminate hostiles if you find yourself in danger."
"You have your orders. Show them their power is not as unmatched as they would believe."
Now, all pieces were in place. Time to see how this would play out.
