The next morning, the armies and the fleet went separately following the plan. The land armies went in a straight direction toward Dritzuut while the ships moved along the river in a roundabout way toward the capital. The ships were faster, though. According to John's calculation, the arrival of their two forces at the capital would only be a few days apart.
The land armies moved while continuing to build a supply line. John left two caravels at the river to ferry the supplies.
They also attacked the settlements on their way and turned them into bases for their supply lines. Master gathered his remaining forces in the capital, so there wasn't much resistance from these settlements. One even surrendered after spotting their massive army.
