“THEY KNOW THEY CANNOT stand against us,” Conaire boasted. “We have driven them away.” The nobles were inclined to agree with Conaire; most lords viewed the barbarian departure in an auspicious light. Arthur knew better.

“The Black Boar has not given up the fight,” the High King told the onlookers. “He has merely gone to easier plunder elsewhere.”

“What do we care about that?” Brastias countered. “He has left Ierne, and that is all that matters.”

“Is it?” Arthur turned on the unruly lord. “Amilcar has left before—only to appear again farther down the coast.” He summoned the Irish lords. “You know your island best,” he began, “therefore you must ride the coasts to determine where the Black Boar has gone.”

“It will take time,” Conaire warned. “There are more wrinkles in the shore than stars in the sky.”

“Then you must go with all haste,” Arthur bade him. After a short discussion it was determined that each king, leading a scouting party of six men, would search out a different portion of coastline, thus making a complete circuit of the island. They would then hasten back with the report. Meanwhile, Arthur’s own ships would begin a sweeping search—some working north, around the headlands and then south, through the narrows, others sailing south down the west coast, then around to the east and up.
