Frankly speaking, such a distance was not safe. If the enemy marched overnight and launched a surprise attack on the camp under cover of darkness, the Expeditionary Army's advantage in cavalry would be significantly reduced.
However, that was just wishful thinking. In recent days, the Ancient Remnant Allied Army had been exhausted. After a day's march, to expect them to conduct a nighttime raid was probably expecting too much. Even before they reached their destination, the troops might collapse from exhaustion.
In the age of cold weapons, infantry capable of marching a hundred miles a day while maintaining combat effectiveness were truly the elite of the elite.
The army started setting up tents, and defensive constructions also began. This was Hudson's habit when leading troops, no matter whether there was any danger, defensive works must be built near the camp.
