The seemingly imposing marching formation was actually only about thirty miles from the original campsite since the departure.
If not for the logistics, the Demonic Alligator Soldiers could have completed this journey in three to four hours.

The news of the Demonic Crocodile Army setting up camp was immediately relayed back to the Allied Army Camp, disappointing the eager commanders.
The enemy was indeed very cautious, setting up camp early to guard against Cavalry attacks.
"Marshal, the enemy is well-prepared, and our original plan has become inappropriate.
Why don't we send the Cavalry to strike immediately and catch them off guard? Even if we suffer some losses in a night battle, we can make up for it when the day breaks!"
Governor Piers' proposal quickly gained the support of the commanders.
There is no war without casualties; paying a certain price to defeat the enemy is also worthwhile.
