Alec had already travelled for more than 2 hours now.
And while he was looking forward to the battle, those in Baymard weren't idly waiting by too.
Every day, the men at Baymard's city gates continuously prepared for the upcoming battle nonstop.
They had already prepared all the ammunition and equipment needed for the battle.
And at this point, they had also gone over the attack plan a hundred times now... since they didn't know the exact date and time when Alec would arrive.
Of course as per protocol, only those involved in the battle knew about the impending crisis at hand.
It was their duty as law-abiding military personnel to not cause widespread panic amongst the civilians.
So everything was kept under a tight lip.
And even those within the barracks who weren't involved with the battle, didn't know about the incoming war.
