Marching.

Dragons Pass.

I sent James to support the battle to get back a messenger reporting the Cana are attacking the Dragon Pass. We're doubling our march to assist our friend in the fight. Scouts found out they were trying to sneak their way to Draco Village but went too far. James is on his way with six thousand of our troops. If we make it in time the Dragon Warrior will fight for us. We're on our way to save Dragons pass now. Let's hope James gets there in time.

Nobu: (as they ride to Dragons Pass) I don't know if it was a good plan from Cana, or they're just upset for not hitting the right spot.

Akira: Whatever the case, we must assist them now.

Nobu: By the time we get there, we will be at their rear.

Akira: Send a message to James to set up an attack on the rear. We'll reinforce his back if the enemy has an ambush waiting.

Nobu: (A messenger immediately rides off) The trip to Dragon Pass will take us along.

Akira: Already ahead of you, Khan! Take eleven thousand troops and continue to Draco Village. Nobu and I will lead James' attack.

Khan: You heard our Lord! Keep marching to Draco Village.

Nobu: (Nobu and Akira took All the calvary and quickly hurried to James' position) It'll take us minutes to get there to plan.

Akira: James should be setting up a formation now. When we get there, he'll have plans waiting.

James: (Nobu and Akira made it to James with their calvary in record time) My Lord?

Akira: We got the report. What's going on?

James: As I was heading down the road, the scouts ahead found an army moving to Dragons Pass. Right now, they're confused about the location. So they started setting up for an attack with siege weapons.

Nobu: How effective are those siege weapons?

James: Quick to reload, move at a steady paste, but lack the turning motion.

Akira: So they'll have to reposition if they want to hit a new target.

James: I thought using my men will attack their flank while you two go around and attack their rear.

Nobu: (Looking at the Cana army on the move) It looks like we have to move now.

James: (James took his troops and rallied them) MEN! WE'LL BE CRUSHING THE ENEMY FLANK! MOVE!

Nobu: (as James' troops ride off, Nobu and Akira grab the cavalry to move to the enemy's rear) We have to hit them before they set up their siege weapons.

Akira: Us hitting from two sides will throw them into a panic. We are forcing them to leave the siege.

Nobu: We can then study the blueprints of the weapons and manufacture more.

Akira: Couldn't have said better myself, Nobu.

Nobu: (James's troops rammed into Cana Forces, catching them off guard. One of the Cana Officers tried to reorganize their position to face James' troops but was confused about the men's orders and couldn't reposition. Soon after, Nobu and Akira's cavalry unit hit Cana's rear. Cana's lead Officer called out immediately to withdraw to the main base. Cana's troops are leaving the siege weapons and running back to Cana Province. Akira's Troops let out a victory cry, and James walked to Nobu and Akira) That was good planning James.
