On the third day after Alexei's cavalry arrived at Fat Cow Castle, the main force led by André also reached the vicinity.
Behind André were nearly fifty thousand defeated and retreating Royal Court clan troops, forced to retreat downstream of the Seine River.
As for André's retreat, it was entrusted to the defense by the Norn people's troops.
Initially, Alexei launched an attack near Fat Cow Castle with nearly ten thousand cavalry, but by the time André met him again, Alexei had almost thirty thousand men under his command.
With André's nearly fifty thousand soldiers, there were now close to eighty thousand troops surrounding Fat Cow Castle, eyeing the city with hostility.
In the past, these serfs, tenant farmers, and city commoners, except for forming militias for self-protection, could not possibly intervene in "noble wars."
