12 Ch 09.2 Dead Valley (2/2)

Weeks passed quickly soldiers are training diligently to pass the tests with flying colors. Their cooperation with other regiments became nearly  seamless; they knew each other's limitations and strong points .

Every soldier got many new friends during training who would be their comrade in arms for the rest of their life.

While soldiers were enjoying benefits and working hard on training,. Duke and Charles are getting more anxious as more time passes. They were worried about Conley's movement in eastern part of the kingdom and his Dominion near eastern forests .

They got a report that Conley has gathered more than 20000 men and other nobles can bring about 10000 men. Furthermore Conley had elite soldiers from Dakota.

Charles and Duke had planned to attack Duke this month if he doesn't attack the city. More they waited, the more support Conley would receive from other kingdoms.

Conley had a large convoy and they couldn't go through Newshawk to Dakota due to bad roads. They had to take the highway which passes through the capital then to Northmount to reach Dakota.

Conley had planned to gather everyone at Dead Valley .Dead valley is a barren land where major battles of the kingdom took place,  all of them having great influence on the Kingdom's development .

Jason suggested sending archers with cavalry to the dead valley. Charles agreed with Jason's suggestion.

Jake had received his official deployment notice. He had to take over Dead Valley and wait for Conley's forces. Kevin , commander of cavalry would support them there and assist in movement of Archers.

Archers got on the horses brought by cavalry. 2200 archers with 3000 cavalry left for the dead valley. Citizens came to city gates to see off their protectors going to battlezone.

Robert and Evans were with Jason as he was now creating more designs of swords , daggers, pikes he got them built and showed it to the commander of forces. They were very excited about the new weapons that the prince designed.

Many of them had adopted these into their forces in different proportions according to their need and uses.

They were about to go to battle, the archer regiment and cavalry had left early to prepare grounds for foot soldiers and knights.

They had been divided into two groups of five thousand to march towards the valley. First group will leave tomorrow under commander Spencer's leadership.

Jason would go there with the first group along with Charles, his elite guard company, Robert and Evans.

Second group would leave after remaining hunters complete their longbow training in the city and collect enough supplies to last 3 months.
