The Unwilling Warlord
“In two sixnights of war, Sterren and his little band had settled down into a calm routine. Each day, Sterren and the magicians would pick away at the enemy, using whatever stunts and devices they could come up with, while the four Semmans would scout out a new hiding place. Sterren did not think it would be safe to stay in the same place two nights running, and it made the Semmans feel useful.
He still had just the four Semmans with him. None of them had deserted — if it would have been desertion, under the circumstances — and no one else had turned up who cared to join Sterren’s guerrilla band.
So far as Sterren knew, no one had been able to slip out of the castle, and if anyone had, he might well have other plans, in any case.
Occasionally a peasant who had fled when the invaders arrived and taken shelter with friends or relatives not too far away would wander by to see if it was safe to go home, but these people always left immediately once they saw that the invading ar...my was still there.MoreLess
