16 Ch 11.2 Before Battle (2/2)
____________
In contrast to the gloomy environment in Conley's camp. Royal camp was brighter , Jason organised singing, dramas and other activities to stop them from worrying unnecessary for war.
Charles praised Jason for his wits using simple means to alleviate tension.
They are about to sleep they received message from spies that enemy camp preparing for battle it may start tomorrow morning.
Charles called all his commanders and started mulling over strategies to delay it as there men are still on their way.
Jason was worry free ” fret not sir Charles just stand in formation , I will handle the rest”
” Okay if you are sure then I leave the rest to you.” Said Charles. Jason has started behaving like leader. He has became responsible and can think , what others can't.

This morning dead valley is giving a feel worth it's name .
Conley and Kipler are standing in middle of formation giving commands . First row is of Dakota's regular army with pikes on hand wearing a plate armor and sword tied to belt.
After them are elite men , fully and heavily armored with just a heavy sword in hand. After them were thousands of mercenaries brought from Dakota. On each side there are 3000 newly trained cavalry men ready to flank. There are about 20000 men ready for battle.
They started marching towards the battle field . In barren land under the stomping of soldiers dust started to rise. They stopped 100 meters away from the first barrier.
From the opposite side the formation is the same except for archers being in front .
Jason and Jake (archers commander) were in front. Soldiers watching their Prince himself leading them in battle from front were filled with confidence.
Charles had asked Jason to be in the rear but Jason declined ” A true leader leads from the front”. Well, except for him being a low ranking knight everything he does gives a feeling of a wise general who had been through countless wars.
This morning he got a message that the remaining soldiers will come latest by tomorrow morning.
Jason brought his special arrows created two days ago with Robert .
