  "This is just the beginning you know. King Amonith will gather another army soon." Mattis turned his head to look at the speaker, Totmen. "It will take him two years atleast, the men equipment, and supplies. We have to ready ourselves."

  Mattis turned back to the battlefield and signed again."I think he can do it in one. The rains and mines were good this last decade, and the old king was too frugal. His coffers must be bursting, and his people restless."

  "No,my people has reported. He has the men power, and coin, but his no fool to waste them away without training and equipment. This was just a test of our strength." Totmen started to walk away when he finished. Mattis stood.

  "So? what are my orders?"

  "Find his advisors, find his women, find his friends." Said Totmen without emotion."Kill them all."

  Mattis looked back to the field of dead, and signed again.
