My dear fellow,
Permit me to enlighten you of your lack of understandings in the way of
war.

Troops can't just be ordered about by anyone you know. They must either
be assigned to you, or you must outrank their previous commander. Since
Daelar lead them, he must have possessed the rank to do so, and was thus
their commander.

As Enorian doesnt have facilities for holding soldiers a shop storeroom
was rapidly converted, it was of ample size for them (and their guards).

Ashtan never reached its maximum conscription, because its monthly
conscripted Soldiers were defeated before the month was out.

If paying double salary was too much for ashtan, they could have stopped
paying them sooner.

Iereas.
