Actually, it is quite plausible that Fergus received reports based on possible ransacking that would be occurring. A war party invading another country/kingdom would not necessiarly go straight against the main castle. They would attack the outlying villages, in an effort to demoralize the people. Reports from that ransacking would come to the king from survivors that fled/escaped the battle and came to report it.

And while it might be a day's ride from Camelot to DunBroch, marching an army is not nearly as fast, particularly if they are attacking outlying villages.

I don't find anything wrong with how that part of the story was told.
