Jack's regiment arrived first at the rendezvous point, which was an area with woods overlooking a large road. The convoy escorting the siege weapons was supposed to come via this road. The woods allowed Jack's 5,000 soldiers to hide within. He had the troops kill all the monsters inside the woods, preparing for the arrival of the player force as well as gathering exp for him.
Before dawn, the first group of players arrived. John was among them. He brought with him a bunch of transportation caravans.
"What is inside them?" Jack asked.
"They're empty," John answered.
"Then what are those empty caravans for?"
"For something."
Annoyed, Jack asked another question, "Where do you get them from?"
"From our pal, Dylan," John answered.
"Ain't he in the middle of transporting those war fires?"
