125 Monarch Caravan

Jarkales Monarch Caravan, Fifth platoon.

The dawn of a new day descended on the Sorcan Mountain Pass. The sun hid behind the clouds and dropped a trail of shadows on a set of marching men.

The Jarkales traveled in groups of 10 normally, but during conquests traveled in groups of roughly 1000 with 10 Captains and 100 lieutenants forming their power structure. In a few days, they'd meet up with sixth other platoons and attack the East Branch from six different directions.

General Lorklan had selected six attack points in order to destabilize the Horned's natural advantage. Since they were channelors, each of their students had a great deal of strength, however, they only could cover a limited amount of ground.

General Lorklan wanted to capture the East Branch to first take hostages, and then use them as a condition of surrender. He had been in hundreds of battles, and hardly made a mistake.
