The opponent refreshed his troops, I took 1 and we continued. It was a weak refresh, but nearby was a hidden Monticore worth over 50 lizards. I took it, teleported, but didn't have enough money to deploy them. Since it wasn't on the way, I decided to make a raid.
On turn 117, I was attacked; I blocked the archers and paid a ransom. On turn 124, there was another battle, and by then, a mass haste spell was already in play.
