The last issue was troop movements, since moving troops could not be accomplished immediately. In fact, in this world resembling the Middle Ages, moving troops was extremely troublesome.
First came the issue of provisions. These supplies were usually difficult to gather in one place, and the kings could not possibly do so either. It would take far too much time and effort.
Instead, they mainly issued orders to have supplies sent ahead to points along the army's route, whether purchased from merchants or transported from granaries, allowing the army to resupply several times as it passed through.
Nor could all the troops be gathered together and then set out at once. Instead, they departed whenever a thousand men had assembled to form a regiment, with five such departures making up a legion.
Moreover, those who set out each time were often not combat troops, but support troops. These support troops rarely took part in combat. Their main task was to serve the combat troops, including setting up camps, transporting provisions, and so on.
Once preliminary arrangements had been made for everything, the Alliance began assigning Dalaran's mages. As a native of Lordaeron, he was soon assigned to a regiment by the Alliance.
Before meeting the regiment's commander, he had heard that his name was Jerris and that he was the heir to the Firestone Family.
Jerris was also an outstanding graduate of the Lordaeron Royal Military Academy. However, this was his first time commanding a regiment. Previously, he had only trained guards for his family and had no experience marching to war.
In fact, cases like his were quite common in Lordaeron. After all, the entire continent had not experienced war for over a thousand years. Apart from some border clashes and harassment by Trolls, there had been nothing else.
