Two hundred and eighty miles from the capital. Aldrath committed twenty-five thousand soldiers to the blocking position, the combined force's full remaining strength deployed across the road and the flanking terrain in the layered defense that represented every tactical lesson the campaign had taught. Trenches. Stakes. Cavalry on both flanks. The Baron of Frost's remaining griffon knights overhead. The mage corps, rebuilt with replacement practitioners drawn from the capital's academy, positioned in the protected rear.
Khao'khen observed the blocking position from the ridgeline two miles south and turned to Sakh'arran.

Sakh'arran checked the Verakh reports. "Approximately three hundred. Positioned in the supply park two miles behind the blocking line."
