Due to the heavy losses suffered in the last battle, coupled with the subsequent harassment of the territory by the Skodisqi bandits, Andres initially did not plan to use the Skodisqi male slaves this time. However, after witnessing the might of the "Mercenaries" camp, to reduce the casualties of the tribesmen, he decided to let the slaves lead the charge as cannon fodder.
The Panoni Alliance Army had already completed its preparations for attack, awaiting the arrival of the Skodisqi male slaves. However, Andres received a shocking message: the transport team had been attacked by the mercenaries, resulting in hundreds of warriors being injured and the escape of all 2,000 slaves being transported, with the collected grain also burned.
Andres flew into a rage, cursing Cabdes's incompetence (as Cabdes was responsible for this matter) and hurling insults at the treacherous and shameless enemy.
