Abdu looked at the sky and then at his army that lined up neatly. It was a fine day for a glorious battle. However, today they were not looking for a battle. It would be suicide if they tried to break into the fort with their numbers. Their scouts reported the enemy number stationed in the fort and hills looked to be more than half theirs. Even if most of the enemies were outworlders, it was still not a good odd for a siege battle. Additionally, they had left behind their siege weapons. It was too cumbersome for their rear assault plan. They needed speed. The siege weapons were currently being transported to where the first army was by using the direct route. Seeing everyone was ready, he didn't delay anymore. The faster they got to where the first army was, the earlier they could defeat the enemy, and the more time they would have to scour for supplies. Abdu lifted his weapon which was a spear. The mounts rode by the orc army puffed and stomped their hooves on the ground, kicking up dirt. Most of the mounts were horses, some were large wolves or boars. These mounts were as eager as their riders. Abdu pointed his weapon forward and then shouted, "CHARRGGEEE!" The army charged forward. On their way, they veered to the South. They knew about the enemies stationed on the northern hills. If they charged in between the fort and the hill, they would be attacked from both sides. Hence, they chose the side away from those hills. In this way, they only needed to endure bombardment from the fort. As for why Jeanny didn't place troops on the southern side, it was because that side was bordered by steep mountains. It was impossible to camp there. They would have to camp in the open field beside the mountain cliff which would make them vulnerable to attacks.
