It's up to you all, how you proceed.

I will remind you though, that it's the village Second Chance just came from, Cherrad, that would have Clive there and back by evening.

Clive actually going to the nearest city (providing he can get directions) would take more than a day of hard riding.  That's where a properly sized and trained garrison could potentially mobilize as reinforcements for a battle.  Just making that clear.
