"No, I thought not. I have never done so on such a large scale. The defenders of the Great Wall were the most experienced we had," the archmage said. "It will be very different. Undead will accept only destruction. They will not break or tire or retreat unless they are ordered to. Our men are going to need hope and inspiration if they are to stand against them for any good length of time."

"Drathmor's forces...are entirely of undead?" asked James. "What about Orcs? Ogres? Trolls? I thought the Defiled Kingdom had them in its service as well."

"They do indeed," Mistrandar nodded slowly joining the debate. "However they are a part of his hordes as a tiny drop of water is part of a huge pond. And don't forget that this army is led by no mortal chieftain. The Great Necromancer will indeed make great use of his powers to resurrect the dead. But we should expect the unexpected."

"Mistrandar is right. We will need to protect our fallen, as well."

Vardakh quickened his pace. He and four scouts were ahead of the main host, scanning through the ruins to report on any enemy presence. His sword drawn, the Benign One cautiously stepped into the shadows as he made his way through the bottleneck. Hearing the sound of stones under-foot, he leapt from behind his cover to see a large wolf; fangs revealed with saliva dripping from its jaw. The sword stroke was a quick one and the wolf's attacking paw was removed from the socket.

HIC, I demand that you bludgeon yourself with a rock until your mental status returns to the level of a rapist who calls back to apologise! Your use of elaborate language and words is making me uneasy. Although, I am somewhat relieved to see that your punctuation remains shit-based.

James's eyes widened. "How large of a force exactly are we facing?"

Mistrandar looked to Lathaon. This answer he did not know, though he doubted Lathaon could know this for sure as well. Quite possible neither the survivors of the fall of the Great Wall truly understood the size of the massive army which they faced.

Lathaon shook his head. "I don't know," he said. "I would assume hundreds of thousands."

((Isn't it closer to millions? Or is Lathaon unaware of how large the scope of the force is?))

"Hundreds of thousands," repeated James softly. "More than we have in the entire country..."

((Was there not around half a million guarding the Great Wall or something? Or am I completely off course with that?))

((50,000 guarding the wall at all times...250,000 total...so at most maybe 100,000 at the wall for the siege.))

"Just think of it like this. Each one of our soldiers will need to kill several of them. The reality of their numbers is not a nice thing to think of. You should go into battle thinking of what you are defending, and with hope in your heart - as should every soldier we have. Let it drown out fear."

"Who said I was afraid?" asked James, looking up. "Just because I see little hope does not mean I am afraid."

"Perhaps not for yourself, but do you have no fear for those who fight for you? Or for those you defend?"

James immediately thought of Rebecca and the last words they had said to each other. "It doesn't matter...it's all over anyways."

"Of course, it's necessary that both the mages arriving here from Ataya as well as those led by Ithrain from the capital does their job," Mistrandar added. "As well as the troops led by Mordus in the pass. Where is he and Ariakas anyway, you met with them or someone sent by them?" he asked Castoden.

Lathaon seemed puzzled.

((I meant at your words, Jimmy :P ))

James was confused as well. "I haven't spoken with Mordus for a long time."

Mistrandar turned to Lathaon, "Could it be possible that he would not wait for our coordinated counter-attack and instead has or is close to already attacking the enemy?"

"I don't know. Mordus can be quite unpredictable sometimes. It's a possibility, I suppose."
