Battle for the Steppes (1)

Ravenous's army camp immediately became chaotic. Even without Grobak's tribe, there were still around two hundred and fifty thousand warriors in the camp. This was a large number of warriors who were now suddenly running about after hearing of the order to assemble. This was too sudden and unexpected and many were confused as to what exactly was going on. Were they finally going to assault the settlement in full force?

The response of the tribals was sluggish, but they began to slowly assemble as the call to arms spread throughout the camp. Only a quarter of their forces had formed up before a vast cloud of dust could be seen quickly approaching. By this point, it was clear to all that the camp was about to be attacked and there could only be one opponent who would be arriving from the south. In a mad rush to assemble, the barbarians ran about disorderly and by the time they could see their opponents in the distance, they still hadn't fully assembled.
