Helga rode at the head of her army. Looking around her eyes caught a glimpse of something that was out of place in the snowy expanse. 'Finally, they begin to send scouts.' It had been a cause of headache for her, the unpredictability of her opponent. They had already let a few villages burn because of their actions.
Raising her hand the convoy stopped and Ketil took to her side. "What is it, my Lord?"
Pointing her finger into the distance she spoke. "Scouts. Have the men be alert for any ambushes going forward. We are now deep into their territory." Ketil gave a small nod before passing the order down the convoy. Whilst she waited Helga fell into thought, her hand resting on her chin.
'There luring us in.' After being given such free reign in the initial invasion it was obvious. 'They don't have the numbers and the landscape is suited for pitch battles, ones they would lose.' Crouching down she rested her hand over the snow.
