“What do you think they’ll do now?” Zethul asked.

He and Cagle stood among the shadows in a forest of ancient pines on the edge of an open field. Less than a half-mile distant, the enemy army peeked out from a ring of wooden spikes and earthen fortifications they’d raised. The day was clear and crisp and bright, and Cagle thought he could almost hear them shuffling nervously inside.

“I’m not sure.” Cagle regarded the enemy. All along the hasty defenses, their helmets bobbed up and down like ground squirrels checking for danger from the safety of their holes. But their holes aren’t really safe, are they? Snakes and badgers and even the owls always find a way in. “I expect they’ll retreat ahead of us again.”

“This is the third time you’ve circled around them. Think they’ll ever take a hint?” the dwarf said.

“Maybe,” Cagle dodged.

“Are you going to do it again?”

“Maybe,” Cagle said again. His horse stomped impatiently, Zethul huffed. “Have Reeve and his hunters returned?”

“Yes. He brought in a good haul this morning. A few head of beef, even. Found an old abandoned farm.”

“He’s done well so far.” The army had gone deeper into Iridia over the last three weeks, farther from the coast and Crow’s Bay, toward Washougle. He’d gone slow on purpose, setting out late in the morning and stopping early. He needed to give Olinia time to find out all she could about the Man of Iron and, more importantly, how much food was stored at Washougle.
