Chapter 279 - 175 Pequot’s Surprise Attack
After the Pannonia Alliance Army settled down, they vigorously built siege machinery while sending people to closely scout the situation in the "Mercenaries" camp, all the while waiting for reinforcements from the rear.
Meanwhile, the Nix Tribe showed no reaction to the commotion caused by the Pannonian Army these days, remaining holed up inside the camp with tightly shut gates.

"Great Captain!" Adobag ran hurriedly into the camp, waving and shouting even before he reached Pequot.
Pequot frowned. Ever since he last reprimanded Adobag, the young man had behaved much more steadily in recent days. But today, why is he all agitated again!
Then, he saw another scout running over, panting heavily, with an anxious look on his face.
He immediately sheathed his finely polished short dagger, hung it at his waist, stood up, and asked, "What have you discovered?"
"Great... Great Captain!" Adobag gasped for breath and said, "A large... group! There are many carriages... all loaded with food, and... many of our people, but the enemy... not too many..."
Pequot looked at the other scout, Lapuzas, who was an old soldier that followed him from Turi, a Great Greek with experience in reconnaissance. Importantly, he could do calculations; however, due to unfamiliarity with the terrain, he was temporarily assisting Adobag.
Lapuzas quickly chimed in, "Great Captain, this group indeed has a lot of people, and the supplies they are transporting are considerable. There are more than 30 carriages, all carrying food, approximately 2000 Skodisqi men... ahem... people, their hands and feet are bound with ropes, and there are over 600 Pannonian warriors escorting them, but no heavy infantry."
