Days pass and the cycle of attack and defend continues. Eventually, you come to the end of the Wire Road and the time comes to leave the guiding line behind.

Being strung up along the Wire Road left you not much choice in terms of army formation, but off it now, you need to decide how spread out your line should be as you proceed.

A long, narrow line will mean that you make less noise, hopefully attracting fewer creatures. But on the other hand, if you concentrate your troops, you will have more strength for when the inevitable attack comes.
