Helferich's red tents were set up immediately in the large field, located some distance away from the city to avoid being detected by them. Quentin decided to build the encampment not without reason, letting the soldiers rest for a while before the night they would go into battle.
During this time, the engineers were also ordered by Quentin to check the readiness of the trebuchets, especially when they would be used to bombard the Duskshire city at night. Baron and George supervised the work of the engineers and would report the results to Quentin.
Although Quentin was encamped some distance away, Hildemar's soldiers who had been on alert for the past few days were able to find out about it. Some scouts patrolling a radius of 500m from the north gate of the city, saw in the distance an encampment standing on a field with a red flag bearing a white eagle.
