The night assault on the Threian camp required four days of preparation that the Horde conducted with the focused precision that it applied to every operation whose success depended on conditions being exactly right at the moment of execution.
The Verakhs went first. Not two scouts, not the standard surveillance pair. Twelve Verakhs in four groups of three, each group assigned a specific sector of the Threian camp's perimeter and a specific set of information requirements.
The camp was seven miles north of the depression, positioned where a slight rise in the ground provided the drainage that large encampments needed and the sight lines that the sentries required for the picket network.
