Some bandits have taken to attacking near the borders of Ding Dong Dell and Ya Pi wishes to take the fight to them. Evan offers some his troops to help with the bandit problem. Speak with Ya Pi at the entrance to Cloudcoil Canyon, on the Rolling Hills side, to spawn a skirmish flag. Most of the enemy units on the field from the beginning are sword units, with there being a single spear and single archer unit. The sword unit near your position is Ya Pi’s, so don’t be alarmed. Begin the skirmish by moving towards the first set of enemies, which include the above.

Defeat them and bring down the camp, then rebuild it to help boost your military might. Next up are some sword units and a siege tower right before the first gate. Pass through it when it opens, then keep following the trail to the second gate, where enemies will ambush and surround you. You will have to deal with some sword units, as well as a hammer one, archer and sorceress unit. Ya Pi’s unit is fairly strong and will likely take out a couple on their own, so concentrate on the ones in front of you, then clean up the rest.

Destroy the command posts (left), and rebuild them to get some Military Might over time in the skirmish (right)

All that will be left is a few to the north, which includes Bonkers. There are siege towers and cannons further back, but it’s highly likely that the remaining units will charge towards you, so the only real problem will be dodging cannon fire. Deal with the spear and ranged unit first, then you can concentrate on Bonkers, who’s mostly sword units. Once you defeat all of the enemies, return to Ya Pi in Goldpaw to finish the quest.
