Camp C7 has to be removed before sending the attack on the last DC. Otherwise the DC2 general will be intercepted as you described it.
Tried the same approach myself to save time...only once.

In all cases, I took out C7 first, then attempted the current block listed for Black Knights. Each time, the camp to the SW of C8 (no number) intercepted my DC2 general while C8 was being attacked. Again, when I take out C8 first, the DC2 general has a straighter path to the DC and doesn't get intercepted by the other SW camp. Something is different now.

Also, several times, after my partner took out the DC1, I was intercepted going to attack L3 because the DC1 on my screen did not disappear. BK is acting squirrely.

Wait, you are doing Black Knights with each player helping rather than tagging and leaving as Blue Byte intended? Odd... but that might be your problem. A lot of lag during this event. Perhaps the game just does not realize you took out C7 yet and keeps the old pathing.

In the DC2 attempts, it is me alone.

gotta clear C7 first, and then path changes, the gen walks through where the camp was instead of going around it, this avoids interception, if it doesnt update the path for you, maybe try changing zones, ive had some weird lag during this event, on another block though...

Yep, I finally figured that out. I was trying to save time, but now realize C7 has to be gone before DC2 general is launched.

I should have paid more attention to what Tomsb1176 wrote earlier.

UPDATE
- updated 1st thief guide, now uses 5 mmas and double block on the last leader

On 3rd thief L4. I'm using 48M 12AM 210MM. Not a big difference, but ...

The help from others greatly shortens the time for BK. Lag is no issue when you can see that the previous objective by your partner has been cleared. The issue was that my partner cleared the obstacle, but I didn't see it until I refreshed the sceen.

And as far as I know, BB never intended ppl to tag and leave. Folks just figured that out along with blocking (which BB also denies support for).

i must of missed something doing the guide for the oil lamp aladdin adv thought would grab the bonus xp so killed all the camps up to the last ones at L3 i cant move to the x16 and x17 spots as that area is still occupied there is still a leader camp there that is ignored on the guide
