Prelude to the War (Part-3)

"We should be ready to assault Zanzan the day after tomorrow," As dusk fell, Faruq grandly stated to his council, indicating for them to prepare themselves.

Because they were just 15 km from their target.

"We were already behind when we set off. And we are now even more behind. Almost a month behind. *Sigh*, when will this end," But many of the nobles did not seem to share Faruq's enthusiasm and grumbled about the timetable.

After they had landed and met up, Faruq had declared, "My camels and riders are seasick. I will need a week to treat them."

And Faruq's stanch was so ironclad that no amount of cajoling and reasoning worked.

And since the offensive could not begin without him, the army could only set up camp near Hatamum, and simply wait.

In the meantime, the soldiers spent idle time as they had nothing to do in the cold, whirling it away gambling, and playing various dice games.
