The call to war sent the camp momentarily into panic as many were confused to be woken in the middle of the night by their friends, squad captains, or even captain and told them to get dressed for battle.
Some thought the camp had been breached and started spreading panic, especially the Cantagenans, but after a few good punches from nearby people, these people calmed down.
But all in all, the mercenaries were all veterans and so after a small moment of shock, their mechanical training kicked in and they started diligently obeying orders.
They hurriedly put on their linen armor, equipped their bronze-plated wooden shield and iron-tipped spears, and then started taking down their tent in the midst of heavy rain.
