28th July 1574
"Mike! It's been a while!"
It took us an entire four days in order to cover the distance that I was capable of passing within a day while with just a small detachment of people. By the time I could finally recognise the layout of the area around me, indicating that we were slowly approaching the city of Sandomir, the scouts have reported that Jan's private army was already camping under the city, awaiting the arrival of the rest of the army.
From that point onwards, everything started to happen in really quick succession. The messengers from both armies were sent, successfully establishing the communication link between the two camps. Within the next few hours, Jan was already done with discussing the general outlook at the strategy with the rest of the noble commanders, finally finding some time to have a calm talk with me.
