Before the break of dawn, the soldiers within the wooden stronghold had been anxiously preparing themselves.
The Norman infantry soldiers began wearing their armours and bundles of sharp spears were carried out.
The squires led the warhorses out and carefully placed saddles upon them before tying it up. Knights equipped in armour that made them look like tin cans were seated there as they rested. They quietly built up their strength as they rested. On the side, their squires carefully polished their swords and sharpened the edges of the blade. Then, they anxiously went to check up on the Knights’ lances to see if there were any problems.
For breakfast, they had broth with meat.
Naturally, each pot of broth that the elite soldiers of the Norman armies took was added with a few spoonful of Merlin’s specially made ‘concoction’!

After having eaten breakfast with meat, the soldiers’ morale was lifted.
