After they docked in the harbor, the squadron navigating in the ship went directly to the base made by the humans on the coast. It was just a bunch of tents and makeshift buildings that only had lodging and storing purposes. Some were used to settle military decisions and strategies, but they were just a few.
That base was only meant to accommodate the warriors until the day and hour to act arrived. Since they got delayed by a tempest in the middle of their navigation, they wouldn't have more than one day of rest. However, that turned out to be for the best. The warriors were getting impatient and anxious after waiting for so long to go to the battlefield.
