Sorin think about something as she know the recon cost can be reduced however what she concern it how did they be able to get food then? Not to mention she also need to pay the druids for the reconnaisance itself. At least she can reduced 25% from initial cost which was quite an advantage for her.<br/><br/>"I will assign five knights to each recon team, if there are imperial scouts defeat them before they can retreat. Loot their belongings to replenish supplies on the scout mission"<br/><br/>Utilizing Imperial Scout will be a good idea however the risk is if there are other scouts who notice before Carlisle can even react. She want the scout to be undetected as long as possible and if she could, making them suspicious and force them to send troops to where the scout was last seen in order to reduce the manpower at Rausten South Port and around Kikimora itself.<br/><br/>"Kill the Imperial scouts and take their belongings, in that way we will also get upper hand if they start to suspicious of why the scouts have not returned yet. Make sure we move unnoticed when our departure time arrive so we can strike them when they are unprepared to get maximize the result of it. If they get suspicious they will send troops which effectively getting us advantage when we're striking both Rausten South port and Kikimora itself"
