Anders and his company made good time from the Encoma Holdstead. The dirt road changed to an overgrown track that wended its way through rolling grasslands, interspersed with copses of spruce and oak tree. As they moved north they found signs of recent travel on the path, hoof prints and rutted wheel marks pressed into the mud.
Glancing to the sky Anders judged it to be well after noon. He could see one of the outriders in the distance to the north and made another quick check on them all.
Sergeant Kronke had broken the company of twenty into four hands. Each hand assigned a different quadrant to cover with one outrider and the remaining four in troop watching. It was simple and effective for a command this small. Anders let Kronke get on with it. He knew his job.
So far there’d been no sign of urak. There was plenty of wildlife though, deer grazing the long grass and flocks of birds. Earlier, they’d seen a herd of bison to the far west, tracking south.
The sun was out and it was a warm pleasant day. Easy to forget the seriousness of their mission and the guards in column laughed and joked. Anders listening into their banter heard Pieterzon regaling them all with his latest conquest. One of the merchant’s daughters apparently had fallen for his charms. Unlikely, Anders thought. The man was ugly in every sense of the word. He turned his attention back to the outriders.
