"Don't move, stay calm and nothing will happen."
The other guards at the entrance were also almost simultaneously subdued, their lack of vigilance caused by years of peace.
Faced with the blades and guns pointed at them, there was no sign of resistance; who would risk their life for this meager pay?
After subduing those guys, someone immediately rushed to the high ground to hang up the bright red banner as a signal.
A scout outside saw the signal, swiftly turned around, and sprinted to find the concealed cavalry in the distance, while another went to notify the infantry...
"They've succeeded, now it's our turn, let's go!"
Reynard, waiting outside, received the news and without much hesitation led the cavalry in a charge.
The most crucial aspect of this plan was speed, fast enough so the others didn't have time to react, thus allowing control of the situation before the enemy realized what was happening.
