Final Preparations

"There's a secluded field behind the barracks." Kaleesh gestured toward an area at the edge of the camp. "We should find some quiet there."

They set off at once, and as they passed the training fields, Arran cast a studious look at the training fields, where hundreds of soldiers were practicing battle formations. "How are the preparations going?"

Kaleesh hesitated before giving a shrug. "As well as can be expected. The troops have been training day and night these past few weeks, but even so, it will be difficult."

Arran nodded in understanding. "There's only so much you can achieve in a few months."

Several months had passed since Kaleesh recruited several thousands of prisoners in Knight's Watch, and the captain had spent those months working tirelessly to transform the disorderly group into a proper army.
