"So, are we all in accord about the next steps?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
Everyone in the room answered in unison, with confidence gleaming in their eyes.
The hidden army will play a very important role in the next phase of the war because of our mobility. And we even have some civilians helping.
Because we're going to evacuate everyone in the path that the crusader army is going to go through.
We won't burn the fields or destroy the villages, because we don't have a strong enough winter for shelter to be a problem, and because harvest season is still far away.
What we are doing is emptying all villages, evacuating the citizens, all the valuables, and every little bit of food, thus cutting the invading army out of a way to resupply from the field.
Then later we can harass their supply lines. So, as soon as the ones they're carrying end, they'll starve.
Though I hope to win this war before that.
