(I mean the first fort he took. He bought 950 men and the bandits ran without even fighting. I didn't know about the thermite though. Also, I know the bandit wouldn't do anything on its own, but seeing that followed by a massive army approaching would make you reconsider whether staying is in your best interests. Sorry for the inconvenience, by the way, I never intended for any of it.

I know towns don't accept peaceful vassalage, I never intended to offer it to them.)

The Commandant halted his army when he saw the pair of Spectres approaching. "Commandant Brumli," one of them began, "we've scouted out the fort and learned some information you might find of use." Iagun scowled at the two.

"I thought I made it clear that I don't need your help. Is your insufferable commander here as well?"

"No sir, Master Aquila didn't feel it necessary to accompany us. He's in Hackdirt."

"Hackdirt? That was to be this conquest's next prize..." He pondered for a moment. "Very well, we'll have a short diversion from here."

"I don't believe King Vespian gave you permission for anything other than Fort Rayles, Brumli." The other Spectre chimed in, prompting a contemptful gaze from Iagun.

"Parius doesn't give me permission for a lot of things." He rode closer to the other man, leaning in menacingly. "And that's Commandant Brumli to you." He turned back to lead his army. "Don't you forget it." -

The Spectres reluctantly shared their intel with the commandant. There were roughly 200 men in the fort by estimate, and the walls were poorly defended in comparison to the courtyard. The men had already set up camp and had already set about building ladders and a battering ram.
