Apparently, Mott did not know any tunes for whistling, but he did work in a nice chorus of grunts and sighs

The Mendenwal ar before I saw them Mendenwal soldiers were swordsmen, well trained and well disciplined There were far too many of them to travel by horse, so nearly all of them entered the valley on foot I saw the commander and his leaders on their horses, but they led from behind, which I had expected They wanted the least valuable of their men, the ones in front, to take the worst of whatever ?" I asked Mott

He squinted "I estimate at least a thousand already on the march, but I can’t see the end of their lines You can’t expect to fight theht any of thein the battle, the order was given for the soldiers to run for the three of us I made a loud comment about the unfortunate tendency of Mendenoan riding away Not too quickly Just a bit faster than they could run

"Our one hundred can’t handle thehters"

"That’s why they’re here, and not with the others"

Mott quickened his horse to keep pace with mine "I cannot believe that you would sacrifice these men for any reason It’s not like you"

I only slanced back and said, "Their lines are in disarray But the valley is quickly filling"

By the time we reached my men, panic was clear on their faces Most had drawn their swords, ready for a battle that was certain to end in devastating failure

"Why do you all look so worried?" I asked, riding around the today? Is anyone else feeling war by the sweat on their faces, they all were Orto do with the heat These men were terrified

"Then let us ride," I said "Not too fast But stay ahead of their armies"

So we rode With credit to the Mendenwal soldiers, soly tireless, so we moved faster than I would have liked Behind us, the wide valley continued to fill, and their soldiers were beco the end of the valley The Carthyan cah above us was entirely es didn’t go well, no place to go to save ourselves With Mendenwal at our backs and iet everyone to safety

Except I had no intention of getting to the top Only to get a little higher than where ere now

I rode to the rear of my men and raised my sword Then I yelled out to Mendenwal, "Lay down your weapons now and live" They only continued to run for me, which was unfortunate, but not unexpected "Very well," I muttered To whatever end, it was time to unleash a plan I had anticipated for reat success or a certain slaughter

Withliterally trapped against a sheer cliff wall, I increased the speed of ether we returned to the front of the group and signaled to the three men who had cli at the base of the wall, and were now in place Upon h They lit a rope that led inside the opened wood-and-iron trunk, and then ran for the hills
