Orders were given out one after another, all the soldiers in Burning Dawn were preparing for the fight in an organized manner.
The soldiers weren't worried about the war, nor did they fear it.
When they joined Burning Dawn, they already had sufficient preparation, mentally and physically. They even had slight anticipation towards the war.
It also included the newbie soldiers who had only been on the battlefield once or twice.
While the true veterans seized the moment and rested up the best they could because they knew once the war began, tiredness would be the factor that would torture them the most and may also cost them their lives.
Continuous battles and several days of sleepless nights was enough to crumble an iron-willed, nimble veteran, causing him to suffer a delay in reaction.
When that happened, a simple arrow fired at him would be fatal.
