Snippet #2521955

The armies of Drawin gathered to the Drawin-Cleein border. Tens of thousands of soldiers made camp near the border and awaited for more of the conscripted to come. Gerald planned on using his shock army to decimate Cleein before his conscripts moved in. The conscripts were nothing more than armed peasants and were useless when their numbers were matched. Fortunately, he still had his dragon, something that could match any army.

"We take hold of their villages between the border and Castle Graham. We can use everything there to supply our armies. The food, the people, and even the buildings can be stripped down. We'll force the criminals and bandits into our ranks to bolster them." He told his generals as he pointed at areas on a map in the command tent. "In the case that we fail and are pushed back, we need to make sure that nothing is usable to the enemy. Farmlands and villages razed, the people killed where they stand, even the animals must fall. Victory comes only to the determined and we, gentlemen, will not lose."
