It seem like new knowledge has been sent to my son.

”What happened Herman?”

”Nothing bad but Sepro told his idea how we can deal with the situation.”

”I see. So what was on his mind?”

”Three possible plans. The first was a rumor which would be sent to the enemy to mislead them to do mistakes. The second was to put small amouth of soldiers to the road while most people are in rear wait for enemy to walk past road block. And last one was simply hit and run tactic. Also Sepro told us heavy rain is coming soon so there is high possibility to fog to emerge. He also want to place all boats in the village to the up-stream of third/yourth river. I don´t know the reason for it but it seem important. I think this place isn´t important to keep so we should retreat to the third river when thing go bad.”

”I´m more amazed to how much information that bullroarer can sent than the plans which were proposed. This bullroarer is way more important weapon than I ever imagined. As for the plans. I have to tell them to the Nicolas how has way more experience than I have when he arrive. We most think which plan will work best in our situation.”

The first plans problem was the change that enemy would attack in way more in hurry which we don´t want to happen. The second plan problem is how we can ensure that enemy will panic at unexpected suprise attack from the rear. If enemy doesn´t panic we would be doomed. The last one was change to loss attention to the surroundings in the middle of fog.

It is always told that choosing right tactic is difficult, but now I know that it is even more difficult than I predicted. I don´t want to make mistakes which will cause people lifes who I know.

”Commander Henrik! We have found out some crucial information. Those horn noise which we hear constantly are all fake. We can´t trust any of those signals. We can´t get or sent any knowledge to our allies.”

”In that case we should now just rest and sleep. Even if we manage to find the king. We can´t do anything about it if everyone is tired. Also if we don´t do anything enemy still thinks that something is up. And that would be our advantice in the future. So don´t care what enemy is doing. Take a rest already.”

”Yes sir. We will tell this to the others. Sould we still place some guards around the camp?”

”Of course we will guard. But I highly doubt that enemy would try anything to us.”

”Even still I´m interested what you have planned to the tomorrow.”

”You will find out tomorrow. Even still plan don´t have to be brilliant. We have 1000 men and enemy has the at most 200 men which are defending all directions. We could manage just one frontal attack. Plan is only needed for purpose of enemies aren´t stupid. They can think and reason why they continue fight is because of they think they can win. You should never underestimate enemies. I hope they will underestimate us.”

”I think I can say this behalf of all of us we think same way. Good night commander.”

”Good night to you too.”

I have to think plan for the tomorrow. I can´t make same kind of mistake again.

”Head general Nicolas welcome back.”

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

”Thank you. How are thing going around here? As good as thing can be when we are in middle of war. I´m sorry for my direct words.”

”Don´t worry about them. Where enemy is from us?”

”They are south from us about 3 miles. I know that they are close but they only seem to travel only by the road except the scouts. Sorry for them we are professional hunters in these woods. They won´t find us.”

”I´m interested what is your plan viscount Rowan.”

”Before I say the plan did you know that there is going to be rain today?”

”That was quite strange guestion but it easy to see as we see so much black clouds.”

”I mean did you know that yesterday.”

”No I didn´t. What are you trying to say?”

”That boy Sepro has made device which can tell what kind of weather will come soon. ”

”Oh, really. Can I presume this plan was been planned as we know that today will rain.”

”Yes you are correct. In here there has been more than a week from last time when was raining. Because of that ground is dry and warm. When rain comes there has always been thick fog around here. We will use this knowledge to our benefit.”

”It seem like it is starting to rain here at any moment now.”

”I agree. Hopefully we can find the enemy before rain starts. Huge army might become hindrance in the rain. Even normal formation become difficult not to mention advanced formations.”

”Anyway what is your plan now? I think I have waited long enough.”

”We will simply go by the road. If we would go to the woods then we could be lost. None of us knows where village is. But when we find the enemy we will continue moving forward without keeping attention on them. We have to hurry and get into our testination.”

”That would be the best. This silense makes me nervous. Attack could happen at any moment and everyone is thinking the same way.”

Rain trarts to rain.

Rain happened before I thought. Let´s hope this doesn´t take to long.

”Behold! Fog seem to be rising in the forest. Should we continue.”

Of course we will continue. This fog might come to our use. ”Let´s keep moving.”

Soon people started to talk in the ranks.

”I heard there is wolves in this woods.”

”Of course there are. Haven´t you heard this place has this army mainly because of them.”

”Wooo!”

”You jinx. Why did you have to talk about wolves. Now we have to worry about them with the enemy. ”

”Aah!”

”Wolf attack! I saw it! There are wolves around us!”

”What!?”

”Wolves!?”

”Help!”

”I can´t see anything! What is going on!?”

”I don´t know. There must have been multible attack at same time.”

”Take defensive formation! Don´t start wonder around! Stay together! Don´t try to leave! You will get lost in the forest.”

”Help! Wolves are in middle of our ranks! Aah!”

”Help! They are everywhere! Escape!”

”Run!”

And then hell break lose thank to rumors and fake sounds. With this indirect attack more than 200 men got lost out of 1000 men. In addition it did by time until midday when fog evaporated.
