(Tormund called all his banners way back before he headed off to White Haven. You wrote yourself that he only left a handfull of guards to defend his own lands. And all but one of his ships were there during the White Haven attack.

He is too young, so no. I believe he is like 12 currently.)

Roberto's army reached Fort Dorell. They didn't dare get into range of fire. "What are your orders, my king?" Duke Roland asked.

"Send an emissary to the fort." Roberto ordered. "I suspect that they are hostile, but we can't know for sure."

"Aye." Wilhelm agreed.

Ormax sent one of his own men to serve as the emissary.

Ennbjof caught up with Matthias. As they set fire to the fourth house. "The King has ordered you to stop burning the village to the ground."

"I won't." Matthias said. "We are merely drawing the cowadly villagers out."

"They are hiding?" The Knight Bachelor asked.

"Aye, they are. Some in my vanguard spotted men on the walls of the village's keep. Likely that they heard us comming and hid with their Lord behind their walls." The Knight-Captain replied.

"Then we should head to the keep." Ennbjof said.

Matthias shook his head. "Let the men have their fun first. Another two houses and we'll have most of the southern part of the village destroyed. Might even make those cowards come out of hiding. Then the vanguard can slaughter them."

A small group of only 5 soldiers headed into the village, while the others were still in formation around the perimeter. The Knight-Commander watch from horseback as the unit of 5 entered through the village gates.

"If there were enough pirates to defeat the local guards, then we shouldn't rush in without knowing their position. A village is the perfect place for an ambush against a larger force, you can hide in the alleys and in the houses. Strike while the army passes." She told her subordinates. "Any amature tactitian can see this."
