Sular scoffed at the foolish volley. He had trained his whole life as an archer, and to see these fools forget the range of their weapons was almost embarrassing. These were not warriors, they were frightened sheep, awaiting a slaughter. But, while the lack of skill on his allies' side would otherwise have worried him greatly, it was the tactics the enemy employed that worried him far more. As a noble, he had studied many forms of war, over planes of lands, in forests, and against a variety of enemies. It was his duty to be able to command those of lower ranking than him should his home come under attack, as well as to be an exemplary warrior himself. And this situation just wasn't right.

Without a thought, he abandoned the post that he had been told to hold. The sergeant, while technically of higher rank, was nothing but a peasant of low birth. Following only the mindless drivel spouted by the fool in the back, who hid behind this wall of sheep. Instead, he made his way over to the side of Trinton Ironspike, using his length and natural grace to swiftly work his way through the crowd. After all, the old veteran seemed to be the only truly competent leader of the whole lot, and Sular would need the aid of someone with a degree of both power and intelligence in order to conduct his thoughts.

"The barbarians have seen our offense, and yet they move forward. And yet, they have brought no siege equipment nor ladders to scale the walls. There's no way this grou could take the castle, even with an army of sheep on it's walls. And yet, their movements are unified, and so many have gathered together. They have a strong leader, but he doesn't wish to take this castle with that group, any fool could tell that." Even as he spoke, Sular's mind was racing through the possibilities. He wished he was facing a group of foes he had had the time to study, for he knew his enemy plotted somehing. Could it be the real strike force would come from a different direction? Or perhaps they were relying on some as of yet unseen element to breach the walls.
