Chapter 26 - The Second Mirror Match

Nick’s party had run at a frantic pace, and arrived at the trees just in time. As planned, Jasper and their tribe were ready for when the enemy arrived. The horses were hot on Nick’s tail, if they had begun their dash ten seconds later, they would have been caught out in the open.

“Let’s move, Noblefrost Tribe! If the horses enter the forest, target the horses only and run away if the humans attack you or come near.”

Jasper barked out Nick’s intentions, the wolflings getting into position in various trees and bushes along their path.

Nick and the girls headed deeper into the trees, and the numerous horses and their riders followed. But as the horses entered and chased after Nick and his party, spears flew from their sides, the many wolflings from their hiding spots howling and barking as spears flew.

Thankfully, the horses did not have any kind of barding. The smaller spears pierced through the horses’ bodies, their charge crumbling. Riders were brought down, the many humans tumbling to the ground as wolflings yipped and barked.

The leader of the human forces was a bald man with a jagged scar on his face, and he looked around confused, calling a halt, as many wolflings continued to throw more spears. Seven horses were already downed or weakened from them trampling over one another, and now Nick’s party was looking a lot more dangerous with its numerous allies.

The terrain was not great for a horse in the first place. Nick thought the only reason they chased into the forest was because their enemy was in sight.

Their surprise attack thwarted, it appeared they understood it was too risky to chase Nick’s party, and they picked up the downed riders and fled. The leader of this company of soldiers was not all that powerful, and was likely planning on just clubbing Nick and his party over the head.

As before, the many men, while many wore armor, they all carried bludgeons. There were a few priestly types among them, but most were either soldiers or rogues, from what Nick could tell.

Nick actually thought his party had a good chance against the enemy, though the number of wolflings that would have died from those clubs would have been too many.

He whistled. “Man, that was close! Good job, guys!” He clapped and woo’d in excitement and praise, and the creatures looked at him curiously, before he thought they made similar sounds, or at least tried.

Some even tried clapping, especially after Eirwen joined him with a smile. The creatures clapped with their furry paws, the muffled thumps similar to people clapping while wearing gloves.

Kaya laughed. “You really want that for some reason, huh? I guess it’s kinda cute.”

Eirwen giggled. “You know, hubby, there’s no reason to try to teach them all that much right now. In just–”

Kaya shushed her, before whispering in her ear. Eirwen laughed, before nodding.

“What was that, Winny?”

Eirwen looked him right in the eyes, her smile wide. “Nothing important! I guess we have to make it over to the orcs, but I dunno.
