Jable's Nobles (Part-4)

"My lord, we have captured a large number of nobles in the mansion over there," A scout pointed to the spire on the roof of the mansion as he made his report to Alexander, before continuing, "But it seems there are a lot of women and children in there as well. And our men are not confident about escorting all of them safely here amidst all the chaos that's going on around. So, would Your Grace be willing to meet them in the mansion over there? Or should we assign more men to bring them here?"

The scout looked at Alexander with clear, limpid eyes, waiting over the order.

"Hmm, the streets of the city are too narrow. So assigning more men might not be enough," Alexander loudly said his deduction, and then he ruminated a bit.

He specifically thought about not wanting to spook the prey.
