Eric, of course, had no intention of dragging all the Knights along to attack the supply train.
In war, more Knights weren't always better, especially when they lacked cohesion and were even somewhat distrustful of one another.
Before sunset, Eric found a suitable place to make camp. It was an abandoned mountain village at the top of a hill.
The hill had a gentle slope, and at its base was a wide, open area, large enough to conceal several hundred Knights—provided some foolish nobles didn't raise their banners high to show off their presence.
Next to the hill was a true mountain, forming a long, narrow valley with the hill.
Eric also made a point to inspect the ground leading up the hill. It was firm enough for even the heaviest cavalry to pass.
From the road below, any movement at the top of the hill was completely invisible.
