Chapter 24

Ian stood at the head of the long table in the great room. The morning meal had been cleared away, and he, his brothers, and his first, stood over a map. “If they come from south of the castle we can meet them here at the woods,” he said, and put his finger on the large map.

Connor looked at where he pointed. “If we place one team here—” he pointed to a spot farther south, “cross the river here, we can have that team blindside them. We can have another waiting at the cliffs, here—” he said, pointing to another spot. “Then the other two can ambush from both sides out of the forest, forcing them toward the cliffs where they will be cornered. That way they will be surrounded. We can call the dragons and hopefully together we can stop it before it gets started.”

Lysanthir spoke up. “But if they veer off and come from this direction,” he said, pointing to another spot, “coming in the back way toward the castle, we will miss them and they have free rein to attack. It leaves this opening vulnerable.”

“Yes,” said Connor. “But this is the only route that is feasible for them to take. I agree, though, they could veer off there. Good point. Weel, we’ll have to split all the teams up and put one group here to make sure they take the first intended path, we have to get them to the cliffs. Split the one group equally on both sides of the road in the forest, the one team cross the river, and the other at the cliffs to block them in, while putting a team where Lysanthir mentioned.”

He looked up. “Now we ken that Drakkor and Athdar have their sights on kings and their armies. We ken Merlin has been taken and in all likelihood the protection Merlin put around his kingdom is gone, leaving King Arthur vulnerable. He probably doesn’t ken. King Arthur has the largest, and he’s the most important king, we knew it would only be a matter of time afore they tried to capture him.

“They must have made enough and think they are sending enough to do the job. We canna have him captured. We all agree on that. We have tae have a fool proof plan. What you’re saying makes sense. Good job Connor and Lysanthir. I’m glad you are my first, Lysanthir. You are proving worthy.”

He motioned toward a piece of parchment next to the map. “I went over your list and split the men up with four in each group. Since so many came from Angus’ Axuard Squad, we’ll have tae pull some of the men from other squads. We kenned we’d have tae regroup them eventually anyway. We’ll just have tae just do it faster than we’d like. Make sure all squads are equal.”

He looked at his brother. “Lauren, with Angus away at Mystic Kingdom, you have the Axuard Squad tae lead. Put them here at the river.

“Connor, I want you and the Xiann squad at the cliffs.
