Bab 308: Land of promise

10th October 1574

"So, what are your plans?"

After a good night of sleep, I once again meet with the patriarch. This time, in the open tent of my field headquarters, with a map lying openly on the table. After all, this place was clear from the enemies already.

"With how we were given two months time to finish our tasks, we still have about a month left before the deadline. That means, that as long as we focus our efforts, we can turn this place into a powerhouse in that time, before moving all the forces to the war."

From one point of view, stalling for the time like that couldn't do any good. With the enemy forces not restrained by our logistic and organisational problems, waiting a single month before committing forces could mean that two more cities would fall under their pressure!
