@OllyMolly They were overconfident in their strength, they after all have church backing them and even have some world travelers with unique skills... king was just super greedy and wanted to be there to enjoy the show (he got a show, no doubt about that) and possibly get his grubby hands all over the riches as soon as possibly... but yeah, they are damn stupid because they evidently didnt even spy their enemy before rushing in! lol hubris comes before fall.
