~22nd of First Seed

In the weeks since the Imperium had set up camp around Fort Sutch, the residing bandits had been unable to do much. Earlier this month, they had sent a small raiding party in the night, but it ran straight into alert soldiers and was dispatched of swiftly.

Now, the time had come for the final assault. With the manpower of this army, the siege had actually been unnecessary, but Maximus had wanted to give his men some rest in between the battle of Crowhaven and the coming battle. Early at dawn, when the bandit guards were still sleepy, the Golden Dragoons rode out, positioning themselves all around the fort. As they prepared for the attack, the rest of the army also got ready; they aligned themselves in long columns, with the men in front carrying ladders the siege engineers had built last week. Thanks to the foliage, this troop movement was mostly obscured, and the sleepy, hungry guards remained unsuspecting.
