I was tasked with defending a settlement, and as I sat in my tent and waited for the Raiders to drop by, I saw a company of Noble House Soldiers walking by on their patrol. I waved to them as they passed. Then I spotted the Raiders! The Raiders appeared in front of the Noble House’s company of soldiers. I rushed to kill the Raiders, as the Raiders rushed to in attempt burn the wheat fields, as the Noble House’s company of soldiers rushed to kill the Raiders and steal my glory. The Noble House’s soldiers had a head start, and they were able to kill the Raiders before they reached the wheat fields, and just before I could reach them.
I then received the contract failure event, saying that the dead Raiders had somehow raided the settlement… rats.
