Misplaced Legion (Videssos Cycle)
“GAIUS PHILIPPUS SAID WHEN THE summons to the imperial council of war came. “The campaign should have started two months ago and more.”
“Politics,” Marcus answered. He added, “The riots didn’t help, either. But for them, I think we’d be under way by now.” With faint irony, he heard himself justifying the delays he had complained about not long before. He was much less anxious to begin than he had been then and knew why only too acutely. At the moment, it was as well such matters were not under h...is control.
The tribune had not been in the Hall of the Nineteen Couches since the night of his duel with Avshar. As always, the reception hall was couchless. A series of tables was joined end-to-end to form a line down its center. Atop the tables were maps of the Videssian army’s proposed line of march; along them sat the leaders from every troop contingent in that army: Videssians, Khatrishers, nomadic Khamorth chieftains, Namdalener officers, and now the Romans too.
Mavrikios Gavras, as was his prerogative, sat at the head of the tables.MoreLess
