CHAPTER 7

Trouble With Soldiers

“This is ridiculous,” Albie said as he looked around himself. “This can’t even be called a road.”

“It is what the Army calls a trail,” Takeya said. “It took a lot to cut through all of this brush to get even this done.”

“But any Barbarian could attack,” Albie said. “There is nothing but a lot of cover. The carriage is barely making it through here and we are an archer’s wet dream right now. What do you think Jon? You have been in countless battles and have worked with the Army before.”

“Couple of things,” Jonathan said. “I think I need to talk with the person in charge first. I know the military priorities of work. First is to establish security but I don’t think this can be done with what I see leading up to this place. Second is to improve your fighting positions, I don’t know what the battlefield looks like or if can even be called a battlefield this far out. If I were in charge the first thing I would do is clear the area around where this fort or outpost is supposed to be at. Next thing would be to improve this road. The Barbarians like to sneak up on people, this foliage makes it easy for them to do so.”

“Well this sucks,” Elijah said. “I plan on fighting but I am not going to die over some outpost. If things get too hot I am out of here.”

“I have been in enough battles,” Jonathan said. “And from what I can see, we are going to be the only four Mages around. I can do enough on my own when the fighting starts. I think there are other ways that you can be used but it depends on who is in charge.”

“What are you thinking?” Gurtis asked.

“If an idiot is in charge I do not plan on listening to him at all,” Jonathan said. “I don’t have to and I can tell him to go to the pit. If it is someone that I can learn from, someone that is willing to take suggestions then maybe we can work together. I am not in the Army but I have been in enough battles. I fought the Raelin when outnumbered ten to one. I fought the dragons of Downey and went to battle against the Donalians. I am not a novice, at this point I would say that I am a veteran when it comes to battle.”

“What about us?” Gurtis said.

“I will make it easier for you to do your job,” Jonathan. “I just need to see the field of battle before I decide what is what.”

“What about the ladies?” Albie asked. “This doesn’t look like the type of environment for them. They will be the only females around and I don’t know if I trust all of these men around them.”

“They are no wilting flowers,” Jonathan replied. “The Soldiers here wouldn’t dare do something, not with me around. My reputation for sorting out idiots is well known.
