John,
need ya t'get ten score arrows for each position here!" Willem
yelled up to his step-son, at the top of the battlements.
Willem was
now captain of the archers, and wanted to make sure everything
was in readiness, at least as much as could be. Most of
his archers were making arrows, and replacement strings,
but he suspected that many more would be needed than were
readily available.
There had been relative peace for several
years, but the horde was on the march again. Scouts had
spotted the invaders several weeks ago, and the word had
gone out.
War!
Everyone in the region had mobilized,
and the castle had been stocked and supplied with food,
weapons,
and every conceivable item that could be moved, leaving
nothing for the invading horde. Too early for burning
the crops, and most had been planted already, so if it
came
to a siege, they could last for some time, and the
horde would find it tough going. Maybe they could chew
on some
tree bark. Willem smiled at the thought.
Da, ya need to go see mother.
I can see her waving," yelled John, down from above.
The by had sharp eyes, and could see things even Willem
missed, so he was assigned lookout duty. A little young
for it perhaps, but at ten, he could do it, and it was
a relatively safe assignment, which pleased Kate. It was
going to be a bloody business.
Again, war was rearing its head. So
be it.
They would be ready...
Thus begins
this year's Middle Eastern War!
