Marcus looked around the woodland for a while with his best advisors. Trailing behind were a couple of the Commonwealth nobles who were open to his interference and provided support.
"How many troops do they have?" Marcus turned to one of the Count Arek and reached into his pocket, pulling a small note from one of the scouts.
"Altogether 3,000 attacking the south split into four. The coastal areas are being breached the quickest, thanks to the damage caused by the pirate invasion. We had little time to rebuild and gather a proper harvest. They have around 1,500 attacking the coastal forts. Then the remaining 1,500 is slip on the other four fronts."
Marcus nodded and looked out. "2000 plus my 500. It's not great odds, but it's doable." Marcus looked around. It was hard to march any army through the woodland, but it didn't spread far, mainly concentrated in the south island's centre.
