Of course

You smile at the woman accepting a sip of water before handing it back to her and returning to work. A few of your men give you knowing glances teasing you here and there but a quick glare and they return to work. Unbeknownst to you however, they still tease you in silence snickering and laughing. By the time the trench was done and filled with wooden stakes and covered in pitch and tar the day had ended and the moon had come out in full bloom.

The streets are silent as your men quietly make their rounds through the deserted streets their torch lights being the only signs of their movement as you looked from the high point of the citadel where you were staying. The local lord who had previously occupied the city of Kerak had fled as soon as Jerusalem had fallen taking the fastest horses for his family and leaving behind his knights and other military forces.

Understandably, the people were infuriated when they realized their lord had left them behind. However, after explaining your actions, many sworn fealty and their lives to you. With them joining you, an additional of 1000 knights, 1500 archers, 60 engineers, and 2000 men at arms bolsters your current army strength of 6,010 men. While they are ready and willing to die for you, you can't help worry about what tomorrow would bring. Your lookouts had reported torchlight moving into the night towards Kerak and estimated that the Saracens will arrive in a week's time.

However that is a problem for tomorrow tonight. You need to relax lest you exhaust yourself before the battle begin. You hear a knock at the door and you smile. Finally some stress relief would do you some good right about now.
