章 279: The only time

                                                    After those two weeks, the scouts finally noticed some movements in the town captured by the enemies. Some carriages entered the place by using the western gate, and those were carrying a lot of stuff and being guarded by hundreds of soldiers. It was pretty obvious that they just received a part of the supplies that they lost the other day. One of the scouts left and hurried to warn Zaos and his lieutenants. After an hour, when the sun was rising, they saw a few hundred horsemen leaving the town and heading to the village. The scouts spread around the area in order not to be noticed by the enemies, and another one returned to the village after using a horse that was hidden nearby.

"They are coming, Captain," The scout said. "They should be here in two hours."

"Their numbers?" Zaos asked.

"Around 450, sir," The scout said.

"All right… everyone, assume your positions," Zaos declared.
