When word of the ambush at Tallback pass reached King Harat, he was infuriated at it, for these actions, He executed approximately 7,000 Zecherian prisoners, ranging in age from 13-70. He sent the Heads back to King Zecher and put the mutilated bodies on stakes outside his camp in the Zecherian province of Irock. He felt bad for executing young squires but he had to take justice. He had to get revenge on this Ser Harrin Zecher fellow.

He decided to assemble his army at this spot. He split his force into two pieces. He would be leading the main body of soldiers, approximately 200,000 men, while giving his entire cavalry regiment, 40,000 mounted men, and 50,000 foot soldiers to the hardened war leader, General Smeeshing Smeeshton. He instructed General Smeeshton to go to Raintown, a Zecherian controled town in the province of New Zexico, and after pillaging the large city, to cut down and meet King Harat at the heart of Zecheria.

KIng Harat himself would strike south, killing any army he found, and raiding and burning fields all the way to the center. After General Smeeshton got his orders, he and his near 100,000 men left the camp and struck out North, King Harat with his almost 250,000 men went south

"General-" He started

"Call me Smeesh," I insisited

"Well, Smeesh, how long do you think we ave until we get to Raintown?" Asked Ser Vlador

"I would think about two days at the most." I answered "But I might send Outriders to make sure."

"I believe that would be quite Wise, Milord." He said nodding his head in approval.

"My name is Smeesh." I Growled

"Yeah yeah, whatever, Smeesh." He shot back slightly ammused.

I swear, if looks could kill, he would be dead. I called to the outriders

"Yaxin! Myrik! Front and center lads!" I yelled, almost instantly the younger men where in front of me, "Sir!" They yelled in unison.

"I want you two to scout out ahead of the main columns, stay off the road and try to stay out of sight. If and when you see the enemy force, come back to me immediately, I want you to report on numbers, position, and strength in the zecherian force, understand?" I ask

"Yes sir!" They said once again and rushed off to get the horses.
