Also, Redwall's records have directions to Noonvale, Peace Island, and Rudderwake, and just about every other settlement of woodlanders. A raiding party could easily capture a large amount of slaves. If your horde is large enough (which it probably will be, as everyone will want to join the horde that conqured Redwall), you can garrison Castle Marl, capture Riftgard and Castle Floret (by using Egbert's tunnel system), and rebuild Fort Bladegirt. Voila! You know have an empire.
