==== ALESSANDRO GALLIOTA =====
You are Alessandro Galliota, and you have received quite the bright news! Though a notice of an ambush upon your scouts is no good matter, to learn that they had scattered the foe with nary a single casualty on their side to know of is very great news indeed - you'd do well to keep in mind the talent of this Néstor Canavella for the future. You had underestimated the bravery of these Condottieri if they were willing to return to the attack so soon after the defeat of their army. Nevertheless, with them defeated, your way to Anaggia is well open, though you make sure to assign your lancers to your scouting efforts for the rest of the week in case more men still remain shrouded between these hills.
As your army continues its march, however, two things continue to trouble you; the first being that of the presence of these men. If they had been waiting in ambush, and not merely been encountered by your scouts, then they must have chosen to do so in this region, expecting you to follow the road; and if such is the case, they must have a headquarters of sort, a source from which they may get their sustenance and feed for their horses. Though this could have been a village, the far more likely answer is Anaggia itself, which would tell you where their loyalties lie in this conflict...
The second is a more theoretical matter, and it pertains to how your captain had told you he warned the other captain of his efforts - that is, through the use of a horn. Although communication between units is certainly no new matter, in your nation of Mirevale, or at least in your own regiment, are rather rudimentary; there are commands to move forward, to charge, to retreat and whatnot. You cannot help but think, however, of what more could be used if you were to create a more 'complete' assembly of commands. Although making the tones is no challenge, to do so in a way that is both distinguishable in sound for different commands, yet short enough to be made in battle with ease, is far harder.
Perhaps something could be changed in the instrument itself? Perhaps you should return to this subject when you have more free time, and access to a library or theater.
For now, you concentrate on the road, on the ever approaching town of Anaggia, of the loyalties they do hold, and of what battle may soon come...
