Alfred led the way towards Ãthelred and Milred. They were standing on the edge of the hill, gazing to the south. Cynegils and Ingild joined them.
âMilred thinks that we should wait for the heathens here,â Ãthelred said.
âThey will almost certainly come up the Icknield Way,â the Horse-thegn said. âAnd we can block their advance from this hill. They will not readily risk a frontal attack on us.â
âThere is a likely spot for battle,â said Alfred, pointing to the lower land to the south.
âMayhap,â Milred said âBut it would be better to wait here and let them attack us uphill.â
His eye went over the encampment. Men were wakening now, some putting wood on the fires, a few swigging ale and chewing bread. But a great number merely sat there, staring into the distance.
âYou look worried, Horse-thegn,â Ãthelred said.
Milred sighed. âThe men were shocked by the violence of the Viking attack. They wear an air of defeat.â
âToo defeated to fight?â
âFor their lord and land?â He shook his head. âNever, my lord. They will fight.â
But how well, Edgwulf wondered. And for how long before they flee?
Dejected, they strode back to the shelter of their tents.
