The regiment was not quiet as it marched beyond the edges of the forests. Braying horses, hundreds of falling hooves and the laughter of men and women. An elven scout would hear them from a mile away. That was the point. They were making a show so that the elves knew the power Vel'Anir had deployed to the region.
They also rode just beyond bow range from the edges of the forest. Occasionally one of the elves showed themselves. Twice and arrow had been loosed in their direction and fallen short.
Brackard thought it was glorious fun. He had no magic but he was the undisputed leader of this regiment. Even after weeks in the field his uniform was prestine on his broad shoulders, his sleek hair drawn back into a ponytail. The slightly curved saber at his belt had a fine scabbard and he was known to be one of the finest swordsmen in the army. Only Victor Yeaves had defeated him in the last fencing championships in the Square.
"Should we sent a scout to ride close to the trees do you think? Give the elves a little practise?"
