The Rat King Capture Plan was nothing more than luring the rats out of their holes.
It would proceed in two steps. First, exterminate the rats. Only by wiping out the rats controlled by the Rat King could they force the Rat King to act personally. Second, capture it. Once the Rat King was lured out, they had to seize it with lightning speed.
