Three days after receiving the letter about Robert's situation the rebel forces started readying themselves to depart, they had to wait weeks for Ned to arrive, gather his troops and get ready to march, in total they were bringing fifteen thousand knights, five from the Vale, another five from the north and the two thousand Max brought plus the three thousand archers, he managed to get three thousand horses from the rebel forces for them to use, they were reticent in the beginning but after a short demonstration of what the archers could do they accepted to lend the horses.
