Antti: 16 years old, 1.82m, brown hair, green eyes, is the seventh son of one of the noble families of Finns who serve the kings in Prussia, as scouts of their armies, cold, calculating, without empathy for the pain of others, the favorite student of Aleksanteri, unlike his teacher who prefers psychological torture, Antii prefers physical torture being one of the best torturers of the Finns.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

POV of Antti

While the master of the Finns had chosen one of the most risky ways to get information, which was to enter directly as one of the servants hired to replace the servants who are burned day by day for defying King Aerys, his followers were not idle.

Aleksanteri had given us our orders, we were to infiltrate the city's defenses, as had happened in tumbleton and oldtown, taking advantage of the fact that the guards could not expel us because we were simple peasants.

Many of my companions had infiltrated in the capital of the seven kingdoms, where we should get jobs as city guards, for when our king needs it we will open the gates, but this time we are not in a hurry as the previous times we performed this trick, this time it should be more natural, since we do not know when the army will try to besiege the city, but by the time this happens it should have already replaced a good number of the city guard.

Once inside the walls of the city the easiest part of the plan had already begun, I stayed in one of the streets adjacent to the entrance waiting for the rest to enter to begin to distribute the missions to finish with the guard.

After waiting almost an hour in the street we were gathered around seventy of my companions who had managed to pass through the doors and we began to plan what we should do in the future.

''We are all here, more of our men should be arriving every day, so this will be our meeting point until we manage to get a more private place'' I said looking at my subordinates.

My men nodded, as they scanned their surroundings for any gossiping ears

''You thirty will check the slums looking for a place where we can meet and make sure it's not too showy, we don't want to draw attention with the guards, as we will soon be the most wanted in this city, this city must fall into absolute chaos, so Aleksanteri can use it to get more valuable information'' I said with a serious tone to my companions

''If we find an ideal place, what do we do if it's inhabited?'', asked one of my men

''Eliminate them, we should not leave it to chance that someone knows our operation, but if they are well known in this city we should keep looking, if overnight a butcher or shoemaker half known disappears it will raise suspicions and we will have to move to avoid the guards start checking'' I said looking at the group that should seek a place of operations.

''Understood we will leave now Antti'' said one of my men and they started to leave the street in small groups.

''The rest of us will dedicate ourselves to study the guards, habits, patrols, where they meet and what they usually do when they find a large group of thieves or other type of organization, what actions they do after their watch is over, movements in the bars and brothels, we must know everything to start our attacks'' I said looking at everyone.

When we divided into groups, we started our mission.

During the following hours I positioned myself in one of the sectors with more movement of hands in the city, where there was much trade and at the same time many thieves trying to make a living at the expense of others.

I watched for a long time until I had an idea, at one point the guards were doing a patrol, which were fifteen, a thief had the bad decision to make a robbery trying to cut the bag of a merchant, but he was not fast enough and the cut did not go well causing many coins fell to the floor.

The merchant screamed like a woman asking for help to the guards, who went out chasing the thief through the streets, I kept following the guards, until the thief stumbled and fell, which gave enough time to the slow guards to catch the thief

And immediately started beating him, they gave him a good beating and took him prisoner dragging him through the streets.

'Their reaction time is slow, but they act in groups, that will be a problem, if we want to make ambushes without casualties we must separate them into smaller groups or we will suffer casualties and that is something I cannot afford'.

Every one of our men we lose in the city will be difficult to replace because most of them are busy guarding our king's territories.

During my investigation I was struck by a group of children who from time to time would start climbing into the houses of merchants or other important people and after a while they would quickly leave and run into dead ends and simply disappear.

This sparked my curiosity and I began to investigate in depth how the child disappeared.

After a more cautious investigation we found that they use the sewers of the city to move and only someone small enough could enter without problems, probably spies, we must be attentive to these children.

Most would not pay attention to them, but if they work for someone they are dangerous, as they can get a lot of information if they know how to climb and read.

After finishing my investigation for the day I headed to the flea bottom where I had been told that my men would have found a warehouse used by someone who would not be remembered, a smuggler to be more exact.

Arriving at the warehouse I found many of my men who had begun to prepare this place as our center of operations for the coming future.

Entering the warehouse I saw several bodies, they must be the previous owners, which had wounds showing that here there was a combat to control the warehouse.

''Who were they, are you sure no one will miss them, you killed several of these smugglers'' I said looking at one of the officers who was in charge of the whole group.

''They were smugglers, nobody is going to miss smugglers unless they work directly for them, so we made a good catch, nobody is going to miss them and we got a good place to hide the bodies that we will get over time, since we just have to wait for it to be night and we will throw the bodies into the sea'' said the officer

''Good thought, but we have to check if the sea takes them, if they come back with the tide we will have the same problem, on the way here I saw a pig farm, we could threaten the owner and use it to get rid of the bodies if they don't leave with the sea'' I said to the officer

''Good thinking Antti, we'll see how it turns out, we'll dispose of these bodies in the sea and see if they come back or the sea swallows them'' said the officer going back to work.

I started to meet with my men and we started to gather the information we had obtained from the guards about their patrolling habits and if we found weaknesses that could be exploited when ambushing them in the streets of the city.

the patrols of the guards always act in groups and their numbers are always fifteen, while there are small groups that walk through less crowded streets that do not exceed the number of five, these are the groups that we must attack,

They will be the first to die

The guards have many bad habits, sometimes they leave the service to drink a mug of beer or when they were on duty in the area of the brothels they mysteriously disappeared inside these establishments to leave quite happy after a few minutes, this indicates that when they are not under direct supervision they try not to work as it is due.

'They are almost screaming for a dagger between the ribs'.

We also discovered that we have neighbors that can be conflictive, there were many groups of thieves and smugglers in the area, the smugglers we eliminated were a fairly large group, but now their activities are under our power

As we can't get financing from the king, since getting in a lot of coins at once would be very difficult, and if we get caught we could destroy all our infiltration efforts, we should appropriate their illicit activities to finance bribes or pay people who know something interesting

We could also dedicate ourselves to theft, seeing the ability of the average thief in this city, it will be child's play to fill our pockets by stealing from merchants and why not kidnapping and extortion has always been very lucrative, just know whom to kidnap and we will have a chest full of coins to recover someone.

After thinking about how we should proceed, I began to supervise the cleaning of this warehouse that was full of mice and cockroaches.

Something we were always taught by the Prussian doctors that this can cause many diseases and this city is not famous for being the cleanest, on the contrary it is a filthy place so we must prevent diseases from spreading here.

Because we can't afford to lose men and a sick man requires care so we not only lose a soldier but also some men who will have to take care of him until he is cured.

I decided to go to sleep with some of my men because tomorrow I would start a small test against the guards, since tomorrow blood would run through the city and if they show too much weakness the streets will be full of dead people.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rising with the first rays of the sun, I began to put on my ragged peasant clothes and with a group of my men we went out into the streets near the port to wait for the first patrols of the day to begin to arrive.

The Finnish scouts began to make their plans and among them was the robbery, since they arrived at a commercial area near the port they began to cut the bags of anyone who passed with one of them in sight.

As well as the occasional collision to introduce their hands into people's pockets and get a bit of their coins that were not secured by their victims.

After almost an hour of theft without rest, the Finns had gathered a small fortune, but they didn't have time to start counting their earnings, a group of gold cloaks was approaching to make their morning patrols.

When I saw the gold colored cloaks of the approaching guards, there were three of them, a small group, I approached a salesman who had been selling fruit since morning and when I was in sight of the guards I stole several apples being as obvious as possible.

''Help, catch the thief'' shouted the merchant.

Quickly, I ran away, listening to the footsteps of the guards who were chasing me.

During a short run, I ran through some streets until I reached an alley and got to the end of it, there was no exit and not many people watching either

Soon after, the three guards arrived at the entrance of the alley.

''Well, well, well, looks like the little thief ran out of luck'' said the guard.

'They didn't realize that they fell into a trap'.

I let them get a little closer, while showing a frightened face.

When they got close enough to begin our plan, my men entered the alleyway, outnumbering the guards almost tree to one.
