I'd imagine there's probably going be a time gap greater than one day between the messanger of the warlord's arrival and his actual arrival, you know, for training montage's and whatnot

Yes, we won't stop school for a day, fight a war, then go back the next day 

And it won't be like the messenger is walking like 2 feet in front of the army
