Chapter 2 :The war of Halias and Helexis.
The fields near Forgersten have been converted to a large tenting site for the volunteers and militia for the Helexis homeguard and offensive regiments of sword, spear and bow. Henrix, who is overseeing the preperations, was sitting in the main camp together with some prominent officers and some scouts, whom he had sent to seek out any weak spots in the Halias defences. The main tent of Henrix his camp was a large round one, with black and redstrips covering the entire tent,within the tent was a large round table and five chairs around that. Henrix staring at the map of Halias and then the wooden unit flags on it, as he moved some of the unit flags around four officers walked into the tent, all wearing full armour.

Henrix sighed and then looked over to the officers and then back at the map. "Well gentlemen, this is how we have it set up at this time. It's a rather easy set up if we can push them back deeper into the town as the mountains right behind it will cut off their escape and thus counter a hit if they did escape."

"We should make sure that our lines are properly set up to begin with, I'd say atleast a few miles away from the Halias household infantry." said a rather chubby looking man, seemed also older than most of the other officers in the tent.
